Meet Megan Carney

I’ve been writing since I jotted down a story about a talking hamburger on the pages of my father’s day planner when I was six. During college, I was published as an academic and as a short story writer. Now I write technothrillers. But I’d like to think they’re not just thrillers. They’re a touch literary, because that’s how I started. A little feminist, because I apologize less these days. Very technical, because details are important. I genuinely believe well-written stories are a tool for self-reflection and improvement. We never see ourselves clearly, but sometimes we get a glimpse of ourselves in a character. Stories let us process our emotions, wrestle with hard decisions, and explore the consequences of our actions. The stories we tell ourselves matter because that is how we make and remake ourselves. Telling (and reading) meaningful stories is how we get a better understanding of experiences we haven’t lived. And that matters a lot.

The Legacy

The planet will only continue to host our species as long as we remain respectful guests. The Legacy is a suspenseful thriller with a glimpse into the world of the paranormal. In The Legacy, Ellen, Clayton and Johanna are related to one another in the most unique way, the way of saving the human race from itself.

Shadow Investigation

“Hang on and let Shadow Investigation immerse you in Florida’s crime scene-boats, drugs, and money…with some romance on the side. A 5-star, page-flipping, helluva read!” –Cam Torrens, author of Stable: Someone is Taking Them…

It’s 1987–a dangerous period during America’s War on Drugs, but DEA Special Agent Sam Dahl is comfortable- perhaps even a little bored–with his job seizing drug money from couriers passing through the daily hubbub of the LAX airport.

A friend begs Sam to find out what happened to her parents who disappeared while boating in the Gulf of Mexico. Although Sam possesses well-honed instincts and a keen eye for trouble, he knows nothing about missing-person cases. Eventually, Sam agrees to help and under the guise of taking a long overdue “vacation,” he jumps on a flight to the Sunshine State. Soon, his real job and the personal favor to his friend meld into a single investigation. But Sam gets more than he bargained for when he falls for a beautiful woman, then battles a drug kingpin intent on destroying him. And, if Sam isn’t careful, he could lose his livelihood and his life.

Christopher Amato, who spent a career as a federal agent, has written a fast-paced, high-stakes thriller that will be irresistible to readers, but will also stand up to the critical and discerning eye of law enforcement professionals.

But can Portia really take Klaus Von Hollen, once dubbed New York’s sick-xiest man, at his word? With Klaus’s impending operation threatening to destroy his memory, will Portia do the unthinkable and help him escape in order to uncover the truth?

Meet Luisa Marietta Gold

Luisa Marietta Gold spent much of her adult life in Pennsylvania working for a large corporation. After her daughter was born, she relocated to North Carolina and began working as a Realtor while operating a recreational business with her husband. Her current home is near a lake reminiscent of the Rideau Lakes, which provided the setting for The Osprey Cove Lodge Series. The series was born from her love of that region of Canada, the outdoors, and lake life. Many years were spent enjoying the Rideau, staying in lodges, and for a time, her own cottage. Among her interests are swimming, painting, cooking, baking, and of course, writing and storytelling. But it’s the simple things of life that bring the most enjoyment, like the beauty of the trees outside the window of her writing room as they change with the seasons, watching the sunrise and sunset, and being entertained by her kitties as they interact and play. Many of these interests and life experiences are woven into the pages of her books.
