Sunny St. Clair should be married. She should have a prestigious job. And, most importantly, she should live a safe distance from her eccentric—and slightly embarrassing—New Age family. Things are going as planned: she’s engaged to a successful man and on her way to becoming an attorney…until she discovers that both her fiancé and her career choice are less than stellar. When Sunny’s world falls apart, her famous psychic brother, Atlas, encourages her to embark on a new career. And now alone and fearing certain spinsterhood at the ripe age of twenty-five, she begins a hapless and comic journey to meet Mr. Right. Her family wonders when Sunny will be jolted to her senses and realize her dream life was designed for the person she wanted to be, not for who she actually is. Will she ever meet her prince or only a series of toads? Only Atlas knows, and he isn’t telling. PRAISE FOR FROG KISSES Frog Kisses has everything—humor, pathos, romance, and wisdom.

Apocalypse All the Time is post-post-apocalypticism. The apocalypse happens on a weekly (if not daily) basis and Marshall is sick of it. Life is constantly in peril, constantly disrupted, but nothing significant every really happens as a result. It's always handled. Marshall wants out; he wants it all to end. In short, the book explores what about the end times holds such fascination for humanity and what impact such a fascination has on the way we live our lives.

Twist has a problem. His Newark, New Jersey neighborhood is under siege in a bloody turf war that has spun out of control. As one of the leaders of the Skulls, Twist devises a last-ditch attempt to end the war by kidnapping a high-ranking member of the rival gang with the hope of forcing them into submission. But his plan doesn't turn out as expected. When negotiations deteriorate and violence escalates, the only recourse left is the execution of the hostage. As a volatile situation grows more explosive by the hour, the lines between right and wrong blur. And for Twist, resolution comes at a price. Still Black Remains captures the struggle to realize the American Dream in a landscape filled with desperation, anger and futility, where the only choices are violent ones. Bookviral Review Offbeat, daring, and convincingly original, Still Black Remains proves a nerve-rattling read in the best of ways with moments in Michaels’ narrative that are absolutely chilling. As an engrossing read, it really is quite irresistible and it’s clear from the start that Michaels has a gift for developing insightfully nuanced dialogue. Most books, even well-known bestsellers, are quickly forgotten when we return to the real world but not this one as Michaels pens a sharp and visceral urban tale that’s wrought with social insight. On this level alone there’s reason enough to begin reading with the mood of his characters lingering long after the last page is turned. They are simultaneously engrossing and repellent but where he ultimately makes his mark is with his ability to make us understand Twist’s feelings. This brings a presence and stability that underpins the whole narrative whilst offering us a glimpse of a struggle few of us will ever know beyond the realms of fiction. Powerful and thought provoking, contemporary fiction, Still Black Remains demands to be read and marks Michaels as an author to keep a close eye on. It is recommended without reservation.

The kind of pulse-pounding adrenaline-pumping adventure tale that I associate with the best of Clive Cussler, Frederick Forsyth, and Ken Follett. If this book doesn’t have you flipping pages long into the night, see your doctor. You may already be dead.” —Jeff Edwards, bestselling author of SEA OF SHADOWS and STEEL WIND RISING "A fast-paced thriller that will keep you breathless and wanting more.
