FREEDOM IS THE GRAND ILLUSION

New Orleans, 1937: The Great Depression rages, suffering is rampant, and hope for the future is all but extinguished. William McKenna, formerly of the New York City Police Department, has blown into town looking for a desperately-needed job opportunity and finds himself a stranger in a strange land. Before long, however, he's sucked back into the world of intrigue and investigation-courtesy of none other than Tom Wilkins, a.k.a. The Showstopper.

But the reunion is far from the happy occasion McKenna expected. His one-time friend has changed, and not for the better-and carries with him the baggage of years of misfortune, including a son who'd rather be anyone else's but his. To make matters worse, Wilkins bears the news that as rumblings of war roil Europe, German spies are at work infiltrating the United States-and the estranged acquaintances may be all that stand in their way.

Forced to team up with a local mob enforcer and a spitfire Secret Service agent, McKenna is in way over his head...and the coming battle is one not one they can all survive.

In *The Mask*, seasoned detective Jameson is drawn into a chilling cold case that has haunted his town. A string of unsolved murders, tied together by a single, sinister clue-each victim left in the same position-has baffled the police. The case grows colder with time, until Jameson, with his razor-sharp instincts and relentless pursuit of justice, investigates it.

With every turn, the stakes rise higher as Jameson discovers that the line between friend and foe is thinner than he thought. His trusted colleagues, once believed to be loyal, begin to act suspiciously. The closer he gets to uncovering the masked man's identity, the more he realizes that the answers lie in a place he never expected. In a heart-stopping finale, Jameson uncovers the truth in a revelation that changes everything. In a stunning and unexpected plot twist, Jamison is forced to confront a devastating truth about himself and those he trusts most. *The Mask* is a gripping, fast-paced thriller full of unexpected twists, where nothing is as it seems, and the truth is more shocking than anyone could have predicted.

The New Generation by EriAeternum

"Our entire lives led us to this moment, only for us to lose in the end. We aren't a team, a family, we never were. We are just a bunch of puzzle pieces that were forced together but don't really fit." When it was all said and done, they all agreed, they were never meant to win. They watched as the world around them burned, a world they fought so hard to protect. In the distance, a tall figure stood with pride watching his chaos morph into victory, there was nothing left for him to do but watch his enemies perish in the flames. . . ---------- It's the fight they have all waited for their entire lives. The New Generation is ready to defend their family, their friends, and their world from Itri who will all but destroy it if he gets the chance. They know their parent's stories were the start of a battle, but they are here to win the war, as one, as a team. They are meant to work together to defeat their enemy. Ten people united by the most unlikely circumstances, five daughters whose futures are predetermined, and only one chance to make things right. It won't be easy, they must make allies, face new enemies, rely on one another and try not to die in the process, but when new truths come to light, a divide is placed between them as their trust for each other falls apart. Friends become enemies, one team becomes two sides and their enemy only gets stronger in the process. Once upon a time, they thought they can do anything together, but how do you change a future that has already been seen? How can you rely on someone you no longer trust? How will you save an entire universe if you can't even save yourself? You can't hope to win if you're already destined to lose. . . but then again, you can't win at all unless hope is present and that's what matters most. ********** An Aeterian Story- Final Book

Back Cover Blurb: After 4 years teaching in central Africa, Caitlyn Lancaster returns to her family in Australia, telling them she's been sent home because of looming political unrest. But Cait is more fragile than she and her Federal police handler anticipated. She's forced to accept that childhood family friend, now police detective, Riley Duncan must be told the brutal truth if she is to keep herself and her family safe. With Riley's support, Cait begins to recover her strength but civil war erupts around her friends in Umoja and her harrowing secret becomes the key to that nation's future. Putting her faith in her handler, Cait takes the ultimate risk only to discover that Agent Koffa has failed to take into account one vital detail...he's not as good at his job as he thinks he is. ** Please note, rather than the original, unedited draft, this book is now a sample of the first three chapters of the published version of As Long As She Lives. The draft version to which so many of you lovingly responded was available here for over two years and I cherish every reader and all your support but having the unedited draft available here was beginning to affect other opportunities as I attempt to establish a career in this fiction writing game. Also, I'd prefer that the version of the work that is publicly available is the best version! Again, thank you all so much for your support, I look forward to sharing my next novel in the draft stage soon! Darcy. ©Narrative Disorder 2014 - All rights reserved.

If only it was an Illusion! by Aafrynn

"you're no one to me", his words echoed in my ears but what was it all when he kissed me; merely an illusion? It felt so real and lively. "...and just so you know, you're not allowed to leave this job until or before 6 months", he flung the contract papers in the air. I had signed the papers, the terms and conditions clearly meant that I was supposed to work for his company and had no right to leave it until his consent. "Leave my cabin for now", he ordered as he turned behind. ********** Amanda Waters is your typical College student who happens to face a lot of financial difficulties and as a result, is made to earn a living. She's blunt, She's sensitive but she is also accompanied by two of her best friends in this story: Gina Sullivan and Francis Rutherfold. The enterprise which she works in is different, very different. In fact, the 'CEO' is not just another Happy go lucky male lead of the company. Aaron Reynolds- Rude, Arrogant, Harsh, and Stubborn. He's what they call an eccedentesiast. They say that a person who defines negative adjectives has a lot more inside them, the darkness in that person may overrule all the Positiveness. Well, with Aaron, it's hard to say. But...What if Amanda already had a face-off with 'The CEO' before working in his firm? What if she had already drawn a thick line of hate? What if egos of the same level collide? What then? True Love? More like an illusion! An illusion that poses a life threat. An illusion with the ability to make you believe in non-existent things such as; fairies, demons, fate, and even destiny! Ironic is it not? What we as humans happen to rely on.
