Satan's Angel is complete and posted on the site. How many complete edits to get it where I want it, I don't know, eight to ten, perhaps more before I turn it over to a professional editor and start over again. Writing is hard work, success is elusive, then found it is fleeting, but I do love it so.

Okay, synopsis is not my strong point!! Anyway, the damn thing is done!  Cathy

#81 Finding Sara

Edits to come, but no big changes. Probably.

#82  Shady Oaks

"Shady Oaks" is the story of a Top 40 radio programmer who returns to his home in the forest to write a tell-all about payola in the music business, the independent record promoter determined to stop publication of the book, and the young DJ through whose POV the story is told.  In a larger sense, it is a journal within a book covering the summer of 1998 and the transformation of one man from criminal to crusader, from predator to protector and from emotional purgatory to glaring clarity.  It is also the true story of the death of music radio.

'Children of Nineveh' is the second book in the series that started with 'Siege of Jericho' (soon to be published via Black Rose by 1 August 2011).

Stilman Lind, who had finished his tenure as President of the United States, was hoping for a quiet life as a private citizen, since there was a new, recently-elected President named Lance Phillips now sitting in the Oval Office.  During his term, Lind had exposed a bizarre plot concocted by a fanatic religious group that called itself 'The Brethren'.  They wanted America to become a religious state, but were sufficiently demoralized when its leadership, Lind's Vice President David Reynolds, was indicted and jailed.  Unfortunately, the Brethren weren't demoralized enough.  They were back again, with a new plan and bent on causing trouble for the new administration. 

Mister Lind was approved as new Vice President by the Congress, when inexplicably, Phillips's Vice President resigned, and no one else in the chain of succession wanted the job.  Now he, along with his best friend and executive assistant Harry Wagener, have to find a way to expose this new plot and defeat the Brethren once and for all!

Vampires to the left of me.  Slayers to the right.   Completed...LOL not edited at all the way,but starting to!  First 2 chapters are now up.  Wow feels so odd to add myself here amongst so many wonderful writers and I still feel inadequate...but if anyone feels inclined to check out Vampires to the left of me... 'the edit'...I would really appreciate it.
My goal for this book was to publish it and give most of the proceeds to breast cancer victims who can't afford care.  I was blessed when I was diagnosed to have insurance and wonderful care and support.  So many women go through this alone and on their income alone...I wanted to give them something else to think about as they went through cancer...yeah vampires over done...but if you give the story a chance you will see how it is not your typical vamp story.  I pray the twists and tuens helps to distract not only cancer survivors...but anyone from real life for just a moment or two!

#95 Repercussions  by Debbie Lampi

When Frank Holbrook, M.D. first met Helen, he was forty-five years old to her twenty-four.  A borderline with a drinking problem and a tanning addiction, Helen has a dark past, which has set the pattern for a lifetime of desperate liaisons, suicide attempts and tumultuous relationships.
After twenty years of a turbulent, unhappy marriage, Frank reaches his limit when Helen, when after a drunken altercation with their son, falls down a flight of stairs, necessitating a trip to the ER and sutures in her chin.

By chance, Frank meets ex-lover, Claire again and his feelings for her resurface. A year of erotic emails - tender, touching and passionate, ensues before they meet in New York City. Their rendezvous is everything they have fantasized about, yet Frank is remorseful and guilty. Enmeshed in a destructive relationship with Helen, he begins to draw away from Claire.

Helen finds their emails and Frank begins to re-evaluate his life...

Will revise AGAIN...

#99 (I think): Witchblood - The Ux-Blood Trilogy, Book II

Eighty-five years after the collapse of Earth's civilization, Miles, an alien if there ever was one, is a lost soul. He has no memory of who he is, where he's from, or how he came to be on Earth. Alone, he wanders the blighted landscape, finding food and shelter where he can. When the wagon convoy that's employed Miles as one of many mules meets with disaster while trying to pass through a forest infested with man-eating tree spiders, Miles finds himself mere moments from death. The catastrophe triggers a momentary release of memories, and suddenly Miles is aware of the amazing abilities hidden within his chained-off backmind. What follows becomes a journey of self re-discovery as Miles is tested beyond any challenge he's thus faced. For more visitors from other worlds have arrived, and they've brought their viciouos, decades-old conflict with them. Miles finds himself caught in the crosshairs, at the mercy of powerful forces, with the fate of the planet he's sworn to protect again hanging in the balance. Can he recover his lost memories in time to remember who he is, what he must do, and save a battered humanity?

It's rather long. Start with Witchblood (SS6) for the most-revised Chapter 1, then jump to Witchblood (REVISED), starting with posting Chapter 2A to continue.

http://www.thenextbigwriter.com/library … read/53344

At one time, Nerris Palada had been part of the Thrillseekers, an adventuring group legendary throughout the continent of Tormalia. After many years of winning the hearts of the people and being immortalized in song and story, they went their separate ways. Now a mercenary, Nerris has become deeply involved in the civil war gripping the country of Yagolhan, and is in a very dark place within his own soul.

But when evil forces emerge, Nerris is driven out of his army and left to fend for himself. When a chance encounter reunites Nerris with his friends in their home village, the Thrillseekers set off for one last grand adventure. Joined by the mysterious fledgling sorceress Len-Ahl, the fellowship soon finds itself on a mission much bigger than their own desires. What they seek could free the world from a dark threat that has gripped it since antiquity.

When the dust has settled between gods and godlings, kings and commoners, and magic and mystery, Nerris may sink back into darkness or come to relearn the joy, happiness and love he had forgotten.
