Book Spotlight: Against All Silence

The new novel AGAINST ALL SILENCE (pub date: August 23, 2016).  The book, which is a sequel to SILENCE OF SIX from E.C.

But just as he is about to fly back to the United States for the holidays, trouble manages to find him once again.

Lacy Dawn’s android boyfriend, for when she’s old enough to have one, has come to the hollow with a mission. He was sent by the Ma...

Without further ado: 240+ Pages WITH BEAUTIFUL PHOTOGRAPHS ~ Kira Sutherland ~ After a near fatal accident (and getting cheated on by her 'boyfriend'), and beating up the lead cheerleader (with whom the boyfriend cheated...), and being labeled as having 'issues' in her school because she, uhm, sees ghosts , Kira is left with two choices: 1.

Go to Starkfield Academy , a boarding school for "Crazies and Convicts" (as the social media sites call them.) She chooses the latter... ~ Cory Rand ~ Cory Rand has not had an easy life. His mother died in a car accident when he was twelve, ...
