Be-Leaf in Love

About Be-Leaf in Love

She was only supposed to deliver flowers.
Not my coffee, then my heart on a platter.
But once I get my hands on Violet, I’m never letting her go.

She tells me I need more plants in my office.

I tell her I need her.

She’s funny and witty, but I’m barely listening to a word she says. I’m too focused on her perfect lips. The sparkle in her wide, navy eyes. Her round hips that fit my palms so perfectly.

Hiring her to decorate my company with greenery is an excuse for us to get close. I’ve gone from a no-nonsense investment guy to a hot blooded man already infatuated with my sweet girl.

Violet is a bit shy, a bit cautious. She’s afraid to believe in us. To believe that I could fall for her so completely, so fast, but the instant heat we share will burn away her fears. Her soft, curvy body belongs against mine. These arms were built to hold her.

I’m already obsessed. We were a done deal from the moment I saw her.

She’s mine. I’m hers. And our love will only continue to grow.

Terminal Effects

About Terminal Effects

Shelley Carleton thought the worst shift of her nursing career was behind her—until the dead started writing letters.

Five years ago, Margaret Lawson died peacefully at Ashwood Acres Eldercare Home. Now she’s begging for help from beyond the grave, trapped in a cycle of dying over and over again. And Shelley’s the only one who can stop it.
Returning to the abandoned facility, Shelley discovers Ashwood’s patients never really left. They’re still here, still suffering—harvested nightly by something that wears a doctor’s face and feeds on their final moments.

At the heart of it all grows something ancient. Something that doesn’t just claim the dying—it cultivates them.

To free the trapped souls, Shelley must destroy the source. But the deeper she ventures into Ashwood’s recesses, the more the building conspires to keep her. And in a place where death is an endless harvest, one mistake could trap her in the cycle forever.

A botanical horror novella, perfect for fans of T. Kingfisher and E.V. Dean.

You Still Can’t Make This Up! : More Memoirs of a Social Worker by J. Traveler Pelton

You Still Can’t Make This Up! : More Memoirs of a Social Worker by J. Traveler Pelton

In this second book about my twenty-eight years in professional Social Work, I reached back in my memory vault to put stories to the faces that still come to mind when I sit back and recall those days. Some of them are drop-dead funny, some are sad and some simply infuriated me. I’ve met people from the privileged to the poor and most their relatives. Book two continues the short, almost true history of that career, funny to tragic. Names have been changed to protect innocent and guilty. It gets greasy, gritty, gracious and no way glamourous here. If you like true to life stories, odd characters funny to tragic, you will love this book.

Nutsucker

About Nutsucker

A ferocious, poetic collision of words, visuals, and digital decay.

Enter the disturbed, electric world of Collin J. Rae — poet, visual artist, and unapologetic provocateur. NUTSUCKER is a ferocious collection of experimental poetry and surreal art that rips through the skin of sanity to reveal something raw, chaotic, and undeniably human.

Through a language of glitch, grief, and grotesque beauty, Rae’s poems shatter the comfort of convention. His words bleed, mutate, and reform — a mirror held to cruelty, decay, and the fractured pulse of modern existence. Each page pairs incendiary verse with Rae’s signature digital hallucinations — neon specters of anguish and rebellion.

Unfiltered. Unforgiving. Uncompromising.
This isn’t poetry that asks to be understood. It demands to be felt.

Publisher’s Note:

This eBook edition of NUTSUCKER presents the complete written works of Collin J. Rae — raw, unfiltered, and unapologetically human. To preserve digital readability, this version does not include the visual artwork featured in the print release. For the full visual and sensory experience — where each poem collides with Rae’s haunting digital imagery — the paperback edition is available through Baroque Medusa Media.

Collin J. Rae’s language, spelling, and structure are intentionally unrestrained — part of his raw artistic process. Each distortion, invented word, and fracture in form is deliberate, reflecting the chaotic rhythm and emotional truth of his work.

Advance Praise for NUTSUCKER
“I love how immersive Collin’s words are immediately upon reading. It makes me feel like I’m in a lava pit bubbling with his intensity and the heat of a personal hell.”
— Kelsey Stark, Poet

“Typical Collin’s brain bullshit — reads like some kinda dystopian fool-job.”
— Dr. Spooky, Author

“Collin J. Rae’s NUTSUCKER is a real pallet cleanser.”
— Somer Enkstadt, Scientist

The Cursed Harpy: A Men’s Short Erotica

About The Cursed Harpy: A Men’s Short Erotica

Marching through the heat of the desert, Roman legionnaire Caelus regrets not accepting his sultry ex-lover’s offer to stay with her. Instead, he chose duty. If only duty weren’t so lonely. A nearby village has requested his Cohort’s assistance in a string of disappearances. Not only that, but there have been reports of a winged monster in the mountains, leaving behind only feathers and blood.

On the orders of his hateful Cohort leader, he is sent alone to investigate the nest and report what he finds. A task meant to punish him. Instead, he meets the mysterious Sylenne. A horrifying daemon by day and a desperate woman by night, she offers him a solution to both of their problems: become her toy, filling her needs whenever she wants. Satisfy the beast’s need, and she will leave the villagers alone. However, choosing this means he would no longer be welcome in the army. Faced with a decision that will transform his future, he must decide if this duty is worth the cost… and the pleasures of the harpy.

Predators Made Prey

About Predators Made Prey

My books from this series are currently entirely free at Google Play Books. Totally free audiobooks and eBooks of Predators Made Prey, Murderous Malevolence, Astral Vampires. Poetic Violence and Mayhem. They’re all part of the same series.
The characters in this book were first published as short stories in such well-known magazines as Horror Zine, Down in the Dirt, Churches, Children and Daddies, Freedom Fiction, Dark Harbor and Chiron Review.
Kropp’s story moves with cinematic intensity, weaving hardboiled realism with ghostly suspense. Every page pulses with tension as Scot navigates a world where moral lines blur, and the dead are often more honest than the living. Through crime, corruption, and otherworldly encounters, the young psychic becomes both hunter and hunted—forced to confront not only humanity’s darkest impulses but the haunting cost of his own gift.
“Homicide Crimes is about more than solving murders,” says Kropp. “It’s about redemption, purpose, and the power of justice—even when it comes from beyond the grave.”
Fans of supernatural thrillers and gritty noir fiction will find Kropp’s writing both visceral and thought-provoking. The story balances high-octane action with emotional depth, exploring how trauma, guilt, and survival shape the human spirit. In Scot, readers find a deeply complex protagonist—vulnerable yet unbreakable, lost yet determined to bring light into the shadows.
Homicide Crimes stands out as a powerful blend of paranormal mystery and crime fiction, creating a new kind of hero for readers who crave intensity and meaning in equal measure. With sharp dialogue, relentless pacing, and a chilling atmosphere, Tom Kropp crafts a story that grips the reader from the first page and never let’s go. Part ghost story, part crime thriller, and entirely unforgettable, Homicide Crimes asks the ultimate question— what if justice doesn’t end with death? Kropp’s series continues with Homicide Crimes, Predators Made Prey, Murderous Malevolence, Astral Vampires and Poetic Violence.
