In Raised in Silence, Maria Gallucci invites you into the vivid, rarely seen world of growing up as a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults). With humor, heart, and unflinching honesty, she shares what it's like to bridge the gap between cultures from the moment you can walk: the Deaf world of her parents and the hearing world outside their door.

Her life motto, “Just Try,“ echoes through every page, offering readers the courage to step into discomfort, embrace resilience, and connect across differences.

Do you believe that your success is determined by gatekeepers like casting directors, agents, directors or producers? Are you waiting for strangers to decide to choose you? Is your creative fire turning into frustration? Take your power back.

There is no traditional path to success for an artist, and waiting for a break is the fastest way to end your career before it begins. My life changed the moment I stopped waiting and started creating my own work. Once I took control and started producing my own projects I was finally able to become the artist I dreamed of. You have the power to make your dreams happen too, you just need a proven system.

This guide strips away the mystery of independent production and hands you a battle-tested, 7-step system designed to turn your creative vision into reality—regardless of your budget or your current industry standing.

This book is not about "hacking" the industry or chasing viral fame. It is about professional self-reliance. It is for the writer with a drawer full of scripts, the actor who is tired of waiting to get cast, and the creative who knows they have more to offer than the opportunities that come their way.

Nashville PI Jackson Gamble has had all manner of clients and cases during his long career as a private investigator, but never a client like the one involving convicted triple-murderer Harvey Harris. Until recently a death-row inmate, and now dying of untreatable cancer, Harvey wants to see his daughter one more time before his time runs out. The search seems simple enough, but the girl has been missing ten years, and the case quickly goes into the weeds as Gamble’s search takes him on a three-state chase that involves him with a beautiful woman, two murders, and a conclusion that even an experienced PI like Gamble never quite sees coming.

Truth, however we assure ourselves of it, is supposed to be real and objective. Paranormal truth needs only to be authentic.

Paranormal truth is the record of what people say and think about paranormal subjects. It is folkloric, not scientific. The two kinds of truth do occasionally come together, and with “The Whistlers” series and all of Mason Winfield’s work, the line between them is never certain. Welcome to the paranormal – and life.

Mason Winfield was raised in the suburbs near Buffalo, NY, the only child of a middle-class family. He was an active, energetic kid. Except for an inquisitive streak, an early predilection for reading and drawing, and that “only child”-thing, he showed few signs of a future author, storyteller, and paranormalist. He did like monsters, though. Books, movies, comics. Except that it could have used a few more monsters, The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad would have been his idea of a perfect movie at age seven.

In this thrilling sequel to Hooked, the secret leaders of a deadly cabal prove to be a veritable match for the determined reporter and the insightful surfing detective who double down to expose them.

Investigative reporter Katrina Chopin is back home in San Diego on a mission (or two). The first is personal: reheating the cold case of her parents’ murder and investigating her brother’s reported suicide. The second involves a new spate of deaths with alleged causes that just don’t smell right. She and Detective Ken Goode need each other’s help for both. But she has to keep the sexy surfer at arm’s length, because dating him is off limits. For now.

Teaming up, they make coordinated progress down each path. Digging deeper into La Jolla’s corrupt network of elites, they uncover a pattern of lies, depravity, and greed. And with every new discovery, Katrina is pulled closer to danger…and to Goode.

Sharing sexy phone calls and sunset drinks isn’t exactly following the rules, but fully crossing that line could jeopardize the case. As they start to connect the dots, they realize they must risk everything to bring down the shadowy cabal that kills to keep its secrets.

The all-new novel of terror from “one of the hottest horror authors on the planet” (Paste) and writer of the #HorrorBookTok sensation The Troop!

On a remote island in the Canadian wilderness, five elderly volunteers from different walks of life are given a tantalizing offer: to stall their biological clocks or even reverse them, restoring their lost youth.

The dark heart of unbridled human ambition finds its apex in an unholy experiment that now tests the limits of both creator and subject, eclipsing all bounds of morality and sanity….

Texas Deputy Kent McGowen shot and killed Susan White after she pulled a gun on him. It seemed like an open-and-shut case of an officer acting in self-defense. But before his first court date, the Houston region was inundated with rumor, innuendo and speculation about the case. Many believed those fabrications and half-truths to be fact. And an unsubstantiated-but-persistent story of how McGowen allegedly set up White as a murder victim because they had a relationship, or that she refused to have one, sealed his fate. McGowen was found guilty, Twice. He's already done his years in prison, but his case is worth examining for all the ways criminal courts can be manipulated by media, fast-talking lawyers and dubious witnesses.

An alien warrior. A human woman in hiding. In the snowy wilds of Utah, prey and predator are about to fall in love.

Lena Harper thought escaping to her family’s remote cabin would bring peace. Instead, she finds herself haunted by memories she can't outrun—and stalked by something far more dangerous than the mountain lions her uncle warned her about.

Draeken is a Xar’nok hunter, on Earth for what was meant to be a routine expedition—a thrill-seeking escape with his battle-bonded brothers. Hunt. Track. Conquer. No attachments. No complications. But when an ambush leaves him wounded and alone, he stumbles into the one thing he’s never trained for: a human with fire in her eyes and sorrow in her soul.

She should be prey.

He should be a monster.

But fate has other plans.

As snow blankets the mountains and danger draws near, trust blossoms where fear once lived. Lena must decide if she's ready to fight for herself—and for a creature not of this world. And Draeken must choose between duty, survival... and a woman who sees past the predator to the heart beneath the armor.

Action-packed, steamy, and full of aching tenderness, Prey Bound is a sci-fi romance for anyone who ever dreamed the alien might be the one to save you—and maybe even love you.

If you want to understand what makes splatterpunk so different from the horror that came both before and after, your best bet is to read the authors who pioneered the form. It wasn’t just the visceral intensity of their literary assaults on convention. All the key writers – Clive Barker, Joe R. Lansdale, David J. Schow, and John Skipp and Craig Spector – were ferocious stylists, with original voices that completely stood out from the crowd.

In THIS IS SPLATTERPUNK: THE JOHN SKIPP PRIMER, you’ll find 15 of Skipp’s most powerful, passionate, unbridled, and influential splatterpunkian short stories, from his early years in Twilight Zone magazine to the present day.

Skipp also includes a definitive essay on the history and core elements of the movement – which he defines more as a “spontaneous eruption of the arts” – with additional notes on each story, for context.

But mostly, it’s about Skipp’s unflinching empathy – his ability to put you inside the skins of his characters, make you feel what they feel every speck of the way – that makes THIS IS SPLATTERPUNK: THE JOHN SKIPP PRIMER an essential read for lovers of fearless fiction, and the perfect companion piece to his film.
