My name is Iryna Bennett and my mystery/suspense novel, WHOEVER FIGHTS MONSTERS, is now available from Swimming Kangaroo Books.
As you might have deduced, I’m a writer. Been one as long as I remember, thank you very much, and not looking to change. Don’t even ask. Not without offering some chocolate first, anyway. Or at least reading the blurb below.
She tried to start over. She tried to escape the shadow of her past.
But how do you let go when you have gazed into the depths of the abyss for too long?
Forced to accept an early retirement from the FBI due to her questionable professional ethic, Aya Morell enters the world of private securities. Her new employer, Neuetech, a high profile pharmaceutical conglomerate with offices in Arizona, seems to require an extra hand solving a recent case of industrial espionage. But as Aya plunges into the investigation, she begins to suspect that the true reasons behind her hire are not at all what they appear. Finding a way to recover the stolen research data might just prove to be the least of her worries.
One girl.
One absent-minded professor of medicine.
One giant orange cat who won't leave home without his trusted wooden
stake.
A whole world of adventure and bamboo....
A DEADLY CASE OF TMI, a short fairy-tale
(without fairies)
Who I'd like to meet: One question -- Are you hot and talented? J/K
Anybody who'll read my books. Or any books in general.
Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my 2nd horror novel SACRIFICE is now in stores everywhere, including Amazon.com! I hope you'll check out this debauched and demonic horror ride! Here are a couple reviews it's gotten so far:
“SACRIFICE is a full frontal assault on your senses. It is a dark, brutal, bloody and terribly frightening book. Everson went deep into some dark abyss to bring this book to the light of day.... I highly recommend SACRIFICE.” —Famous Monsters of Filmland
“John Everson manages in SACRIFICE to dispense buckets of blood, provide edgy perversity, and walk the tenuous tightrope of horror and sex without falling: It’s rather an amazing feat.” –Hell Notes
With some of the weirdos that are at those concerts, I probably should watch out! :) Uh-oh, I have at least 3 different outdoor concerts coming up.... Better hide those credit cards! :P
It is a great day to be alive! What Question can I ask to empower myself and others? How can I improve the experience of those I encounter today? What can I do to facilitate your Gift?
Yesterday Is History Tomorrow is a Mystery Today is a Gift... That's why we call it the Present
