  • Venus and Sappho Walk into a Bar

    SENSUAL TALES MEANT TO BE SAVORED

    Venus and Sappho Walk into a Bar is a collection of sensual stories with mostly sapphic themes, or at least overtones. Much like Vanessa de Sade’s other work, the writing is so literate that it is easy to forget that you’re actually listening to erotica. This is an audiobook to be savored, perhaps with a glass of good quality wine.

  • To Serve…To Protect…To Spy: Behind the Scenes in the War Against Crime and Espionage

    ON THE FRONT LINE FIGHTING CRIME & ESPIONAGE

    Due to the sensitive nature of my profession, I am known simply as Mr. J. I have the unique ability to analyze people, places, and things in such a way as to be able to determine what would, should, can, could come next. In a way, I can predict the future. I first developed this ability while watching chess games in the park when I was 12 years old and soon was able to predict the moves and the winners of several games at the same time. Before graduating from high school, I was being utilized as an “unknown” source helping to solve cases for the local police.


    When I eventually became a federal agent, I quickly advanced to one of the highest levels ― Chief Strategist, Level IV ― and was charting and predicting moves and counter moves against the various organized crime operations while also protecting the United States against cyberattacks. I’d like to share with you a carefully redacted inside view of my career in counterintelligence, and later, as a CIA handler. Hold on to your seat; this will be a wild ride!

  • The Charmed Life of Matt Draper: From Riverboat Gambler to Frontier Banker

    AN ENGAGING POST CIVIL WAR SAGA

    In 1866, Matt Draper is full of ambition but without money or family to help him succeed. On the Western frontier of an ever-expanding America, toiling as a riverboat gambler seems like the best option to raise enough capital to realize his dream of opening a small-town bank.

    Though gambling is lucrative for Matt, it is also an unsavory enterprise fraught with danger. Fortuitously, before any harm befalls him, Matt and his friend Charlie discover an abandoned Confederate gold cache in a fake grave, which gives him the stake he needs to leave the treacherous gambling world behind.

    From then onward, his life’s purpose becomes evident as all roads lead to Neosho, Missouri, where he opens the bank and becomes a major influence on its growth and prosperity.

    Matt’s exciting and uplifting saga captures the day-to-day reality of life in the tumultuous post-Civil War era, including the hardships, relative lawlessness, and indomitable spirit of settlers bent on creating a good life for themselves and their neighbors.

    MURDER, MAYHEM AND INTRIGUE AT THE PLAZA ROYALE!

    It was just another busy day at the Plaza Royale ― until a pretty hotel manicurist, white with terror, suddenly fled through the lobby and disappeared into the crowded Manhattan streets. Her unexplained flight, and the discovery of some bloodstained pillowslips, gave Gil Vine, the hotel's detective, the tipoff that trouble was brewing. Its source turned out to be the suite of a secretive South American mogul and his entourage including a beautiful señorita, a vicious monkey, a muscular valet, and an elusive character known as Miguel. When Gil investigated, he walked into one of the most explosive situations in his career. For the Latin was really an ousted dictator, loaded with stolen money and jewels, and with a host of assassins pledged to kill him!

    Stewart Sterling is credited by leading reviewers with having been one of the originators of the "specialized" or modus operandi school of detective story writers as opposed to the private investigator who has no background in any particular field of criminal activity. His Special Squad stories in Black Mask were the first to make use of inside techniques as used by the Loft Squad, the Bomb and Forgery Squad, the Criminal Identification Bureau, and the Stolen Property Bureau of the New York Police Department. His Fire Marshal Pedley stories were acclaimed by Thomas Brophy, New York City's most celebrated Fire Marshal, as being true to the modern methods employed in the detection of arsonists. His hotel detective tales, with Gil Vine as Chief Security Officer of a swank Fifth Avenue hotel, have been published in many foreign countries - and Sterling received letters from all over the world, with the Oliver Twist request for "more."

  • Stamped for Death: Death for Auction, the Adventures of Jonathan Knox, Book 2

    CLICK LINK FOR YOUR OWN COPY

    ELEVEN RARE STAMPS = DEATH IN SIX FIGURES...

    Jonathan Knox was an auctioneer of somewhat dubious repute with a photographic memory. So when a frightened woman offered him a discount on eleven of the rarest stamps in existence, worth something like $500,000, he became suspicious. He figured also that if the stamps had been stolen he might net a pretty reward by returning them to their rightful owner.

    But he couldn't find a single collector willing to admit to owning them. And when the girl who had originally offered them was murdered, Knox knew that he'd be the next one canceled unless he could find the person who would pay the growing postage-due bill from the devil's own mail carrier. That's when the auctioneer found himself forced to play very reluctant sleuth, with his own life as the stakes.

    In this colorful, never-reprinted 1950s classic you will encounter:

    • Jonathan Knox: This auctioneer's photographic memory      coupled with his lack of scruples made him a detested necessity to many      people. And, too often, it also marked him for murder.
    • Elly Watson: She was better at bargaining than Knox.      But when she gave him a bargain - it was more than he bargained for.
    • Edmund Dorsey deLong: Like many philatelists, he would      stop at nothing for his stamp collection. Not even a killing.
    • Henrietta Noyes: They had to kill her to break her hold      on them. So they targeted her for murder.
    • Louis Plummer: His customers were interested in his      goods, but not where they came from. This case was the exception.
    • Everett Kirkland: He should never have been an actor -      too many people had seen his face. That could make it unhealthy for a man      involved in murder.
    • "Fresh background material and a fine storytelling knack." (Lewisville Courier-Journal)

    • Shootout at Warbird

      SON AGAINST FATHER FOR RANGELAND JUSTICE

      What son could draw against his own father? That's the question Neil Wallace had to ask himself.

      Neil admired his father, King Wallace, for building up the biggest ranch in the territory and defending it with guns blazing against rustlers and robbers. But Neil knew the days of the wild west and the taking of law into one's own hands were gone. Yet he was positive his father wouldn't be restrained by any scruples.

      Now his father was planning to dam the river that supplied water to all the valley ranches and charge them rates that would keep every man-jack in debt to him forever. Neil was determined to stop King even if it took bullets to do it. But first he had to tell his father why a son might have to turn against his own blood: "It's because you're trying to do something no man has a right to do. You're trying to make slaves out of free men...and you're not going to get away with it. Your scheme is going to blow sky high - and you along with it!"

      And with those words, range war exploded in all its bloody fury, setting off a dynamite relay of greed, revenge, and gunpowder temper that threatened to destroy Neil and the ranchers he defended.
