    Where Did the Vice President of the United States Go?
    Rafael Webb Berman

    A new Republican president comes to power in America and declares that he will do twice over everything that Donald Trump did. As his administration hardens its stance against the transgender community, a full-scale culture war erupts between America and Europe, culminating in a mass demonstration of millions in Amsterdam.


    The vice president is sent to the Netherlands in an attempt to broker a compromise, but once there, he vanishes from the watchful eyes of the U.S. Secret Service.


    In a breathless political drama, the vice president’s secret summer romance is revealed: a tender, unexpected love affair with a long-haired Dutch schoolteacher whose sister has undergone gender transition. As American Secret Service agents struggle to protect the vice president under impossible conditions, the personal and the political collide.


    Can the love story dubbed by the global media as the “Romeo and Juliet of the 21st century” overcome hatred, fear, and the forces determined to tear it apart?

  • Fear Me!
    eBook
    Fear Me!
    Matt Rocks

    Over the melee, I could hear my own blood roaring in my ears and my breathing thundering and bellowing in my chest. My heart was filled with horror and despair. Cold sweat was running down my body, drenching my shorts and shirt, as I panicked and fought with myself, forcing myself to continue. Tears were streaming down my face, dripping unheeded off my chin, falling onto Paddy’s upturned face, filling his staring, pale eyes. Desperation filled my entire body as I repeated the same moves over and over, my legs and back shaking and quaking with fatigue, unused to the unusual position. All around me, people pushed and shoved, shouting advice at me, screaming at me to keep going. I glimpsed George in the crowd, his phone pressed to his ear, shouting incoherently into it.


    I kept shoving down into poor Paddy’s chest, breathing for him. Deep down, I knew there would be no response, but I refused to give up on him, refused to let him go. There was a wild, animal-like roaring scream deafening me, and my ears filled with a thundering, drumming sound, like standing under the Niagara Falls.


    Then, I could do no more.

    The Secret of Greasy Jack
    Terry Richardson

    The town of Billaroo was devoid of a railway: or was it?


    A group of bored schoolchildren stumble upon evidence of an ancient rail line passing through the town. They explore the countryside and find many more signs that some form of railway once existed. They consult the oldest residents of their town and are continuously told no such railway ever existed.


    One of the girls, who is the daughter of the town’s doctor, recalls that the well-known but constantly avoided local tramp, “Greasy Jack”, is older than the other long-time residents. Reluctantly the group decided to visit the tramp in his filthy shack out behind the town cemetery. After winning his trust, the group are told of a sad, tragic tale which confirms their suspicions and also horrifies them.


    Meanwhile, the trio of boys are engaged in an ongoing feud with some older boys. When two of them are bashed by the thugs, Greasy Jack intervenes, saving them from a more severe beating. The cowardly thugs swear retribution, and tragedy strikes. This triggers the decision by the group of teenagers to call a meeting of their parents and the police to tell all, not only about the mysterious railway but also the truth about Greasy Jack.

    Some things aren’t meant to be disturbed. Some are just waiting to be found.
