How's a girl supposed to break a curse she doesn't know was placed on her in a past life? Bull's Labyrinth is the story of a love that survives three thousand years, an ancient Minoan curse, and modern corruption. In ancient Minoan Crete, Daedalus fell in love with a herding girl named Nikkis. Yes, that Daedalus-the master mason who built the great Palace of Knossos on the island of Crete, who is said to have built the false cow in which the Minotaur was conceived, who is said to have constructed the labyrinth, who built working wings that lead to the death of his own son. Nikkis's love, intelligence, integrity, and irrepressible determination survive three thousand years of cursed existence into the present day. In modern Crete, her work as a researcher in ancient languages takes her to Greece. There, she her own fears and a curse she can't begin to understand. Only finding Daedalus, breaking their curse, and triumphing over corruption and international artifact smugglers will free them both from a cycle of pain and suffering set in motion by a corrupt king three thousand years ago. Early Praise for Bull's Labyrinth: "Look, I could explain why in detail, but let's skip that, and get right down to the real nitty-gritty: Eric Witchey's fantasy novel, Bull's Labyrinth, is a terrific book. Buy it, read it, enjoy it. You can thank me later." -New York Times Bestselling Author Steve Perry, Shadows of the Empire "Bull's Labyrinth is an extraordinary work, seamlessly blending myth and magic with ancient and modern times. It is a love story and an adventure story that spans generations and cultures, and explores the possibilities of fates come to fruition outside the constraints of time. Exquisitely researched and rich with atmospheric detail. Witchey has written an unputdownable tale. Highest recommendations." -Elizabeth Engstrom, author of Lizzie Borden, Candyland, and Baggage Check "The warp and weft of the tale Eric Witchey has woven in Bull's Labyrinth, set half in the present and half in ancient times, creates powerful, recurring intersections of the emotional themes of romance, and renders what is literally a distant classical tale into one compelling to present-day audiences. The struggle across time of two lovers against a curse meant to deny their passion carries readers through a mysterious tale of history, ancient magic, yearning, and hope, as well as modern love and desire." -Alan M. Clark, author of The Surgeon's Mate: A Dismemoir and A Brutal Chill in August.

Romance

Romantic Suspense

Angie Smith and Curtis Loew are having dreams they can't shake. At the heart of each is Angie's daughter, Kaya. Angie's dreams end in death, the spreading of hand-shaped bruises across her daughter's throat. Curtis' dreams end in something else, something closer to obsession than love. Angie is worlds away, trying to keep her drug-shattered mind from falling apart, traveling through an American underbelly filled with inhuman shapes, dark whispers and old friends with empty eyes. Curtis is Kaya's new neighbor. He's getting closer to her, and her mentally unstable grandmother, Colleen. He's had families before, but he'd always made mistakes. Mistakes that led to new names, new towns. But this one time, he swears, things will all work out. He's got so much love to give.
