From the Back Cover: The vampires of Maelstrom are monsters in every sense of the word. Aviva should be, too, but she struggles to let go of her past life and her connection to humanity. It's her weakness and her shame, neither of which are tolerated in her dark new world.

June 10, 2019 Interview with Erin Vance, author of Exposure | The Write Project
Interview with Erin Vance, author of Exposure!

From the back cover: Look, all Joshua Deering wanted was to pass his final photography project. It should have been simple: find a subject, take some photos, get an A, and get his dad off his back. But that’s not what happened.

And, okay, maybe he should’ve known better than to befriend a guy chilling out in a cemetery. Maybe he should’ve taken the hint when a mysterious girl stepped out of the mist and announced that there might be hunters after the cemetery guy. And maybe he should’ve studied more for his other exams instead of panicking about his project.

May 27, 2019 Interview with Paul Carberry, author of Carcharodon | The Write Project
Interview with Paul Carberry, author of Carcharodon and The Last of the Dragons!

From the back cover: There is no 'safe.' The small island of Newfoundland and its people are used to the perils of the sea, and the mysteries that lie beneath its murky depths. But even they could not have been prepared for the horrors that arose from beneath the decks of The Swift Current one dark evening. That night, the sea birthed a perfect predator: hundreds of years old and gargantuan in size, with hungry jaws that have never needed to evolve, and glassy eyes that disguise a fierce intelligence. Can Newfoundland and her people survive this horror from an age gone by? International Best-Selling horror icon Paul Carberry takes the terror offshore in this stunning, suspenseful new thriller!
