An award-winning horror/mystery loaded with dark comedy!
Inside all of us, there is darkness. Inside Clive, it's tangible, and it's aching to get out.
What Hides Within tells the story of a man held captive by an unknown evil. Clive Menard is a spineless slacker leading an ordinary existence. But when Chester enters his life, it becomes far from ordinary.
A disheveled Clive stands alone in a hospital waiting room. A series of incidences have led him to undergo unnecessary neurosurgery. A voice inside Clive's head nags him to kill the doctor.
Weeks prior, a murder investigation and an unrelated kayaking excursion set the story's interlocking events in motion. When a remorseful killer, a bomb-happy psychopath and a mysterious widow spider converge upon Clive, they bring with them destruction and death. Clive must discover who or what is steering his very existence before he, too, is consumed by the carnage around him.
With a driven detective following his every step and a vicious killer hiding within his circle of friends, Clive must walk a narrow and dangerous path, teetering between salvation and damnation. He must confront Chester and his own demons. But is he powerless to overcome them?
What Hides Within was an EPIC Finalist, was Runner-up for "Best Horror" in eFestival's Independent eBook Awards and has been named to Best of 2012 by A Thousand Lives book

Have you ever dreamed of being able to get your applications for credit, a mortgage, or that amazing rental apartment you fell in love with, approved with ease?
Do you want to stop worrying the next time a potential employer says they're going to check your credit as part of the job application process?
Do you want to have access to the lowest interest rates, reserved only for those with a good FICO credit score?
Do you want to be in financial first class?
Then you're in the right place, my friend.
Because a high score is one of the key ingredients to living that dream, and this book will teach you everything you need to know to improve your credit score -- even if, worst case, it's in the OMG-I-wish-there-was-a-convenient-hole-in-the-ground-for-me-to-hide-in range.
And, learning even one new trick in this book that raises your score enough to save on interest rates the next time you get a loan or mortgage, can lead to savings that easily cover the cost of this book many times over.
What You Will Learn in This Book
I've packed into this book all of the most important information that you need in order to raise your credit score. Some of what you'll learn includes:
- The 9 Biggest Benefits of a Good Credit Score
- The Secrets to Calculating Your Credit Score
- 13 Credit Score Myths Explained
- The Right Way to Check Your Credit Report
- How to Build Your Credit Score if You're Starting With None
- 12 Things that Might be Lowering Your Credit Score
- The Best Ways to Maximize Your Credit Score
- How to Find a Reputable Credit Counselor (That Won't Hurt Your Credit Score)
I've experienced first hand the benefits of a good credit score, and I've seen with my own eyes the trials and tribulations that people go through when they don't have one. Let me help you improve your financial life by teaching you how to raise your credit score the right way.
And believe me, there are plenty of ways to do it wrong, the worst of which can land you in trouble with the law. (I discuss how people fall prey to this later in the book, and how to avoid it.)
Change Your Credit Score, Change Your Life
All you have to do is a little bit of digging to see all the ways that a low credit score can hurt you. To see the doors that will slam in your face because of it.
So don't allow yourself to stay in that position for a moment longer than necessary.
One of my favorite sayings is 'Knowledge is Power'. The more you know, the more power you have to affect the kind of change in your life that you want and deserve.
I promise you that if you read this book you'll know a lot more about credit scores than most people ever will -- and you'll be able to use that intel to keep your score as high as possible from now on.
You're not alone if you wonder "how and what do I do to fix my credit?" You can learn how to rebuild your credit, you can have a good financial life after debt, if you're willing to put in the work.
A high credit score means you'll worry less about embarrassing declines when applying for credit, you can say goodbye to the days of begging someone to cosign on a loan for you, and hold your head up high when talking with creditors or applying for that job.
There's no sense in waiting. Every day you wait is one more day you might be making major credit mistakes that are lowering your score right this minute. It's one more day that you are missing out on all of the benefits of having a higher credit score, not the least of which is the pride you'll feel when it's yours!
A high credit score is available to pretty much anyone, as long as you're willing to put in the effort.
Do you want the benefits of that high credit score? Do want a seat in financial first class, where lenders treat you with respect?

History begins after origins have disappeared — legends arise to preserve those origins.
For thousands of years legends of the land of Tagzig and the city of Olmolungring have fascinated and inspired millions with tales of a mystical realm, known in our modern age as Shambhala.
Scholars believe that Olmolungring is the historical precursor of a fabled land described in the oldest Sanskrit texts, a hidden kingdom of incredible beauty, a place of ultimate tranquility and happiness. The ancient pre-Buddhist B’on treaties regarding Olmolungring are thought to be the earliest extant references, but the same mythical realm is represented in diverse ancient traditions: Hindu texts related to the Kalki mythology, the Puranas, and extensively discussed in the ancient texts of the Kalachakra Laghutantra and the earlier Kalachakra Mulatantra.
The legends relate that, in the beginning of this world, Olmolungring was the place to which celestial beings descended and created the sacred hidden realm. They brought with them the highest mystical knowledge of all the worlds, making Olmolungring not only a place of peace and bliss, but the sanctuary of all wisdom, the true center of the spiritual world.
In a treatise composed by an early Tibetan Buddhist, the Third Panchen Lama, said to have been received in a vision sent by the Buddha Sakyamuni, the hidden realm is called, in Tibetan,Shambhala I lam-yig, and the celestial beings Ri-iha-mo.
In the 1970s, while on an extended trek in the Himalayan Range, the author chanced upon an exceedingly remote village deep in the mountains, a community called Siddhalaya. This discovery marked the beginning of a series of remarkable adventures and experiences.
In this riveting first-hand account, the author discloses two encounters he and his companions had with a true Ri-iha-mo, a 'mountain goddess.' During their second encounter, the Ri-iha-mo, who referred to herself as Aani, consented to reveal profound knowledge, and with disarming candor. And so it became for them, and for those not encumbered with certainty, that the existence of a Ri-iha-mo is a reality, as is the legendary world of Olmolungringin in which they live.
An unprecedented and extraordinary account that is inspirational, thought provoking, and highly enlightening, this is a narrative that will impact and stay with you...

Half-Gypsy, Carnival carries his dead Poppa inside him as a perpetual adviser as he works as fortune-teller and occult troubleshooter, banishing demons and succubi with a carefree confidence born only of youth. His life journey takes a distinctly different turn when he meets Maya, an alluring female vampire. This novel details a dark version of the modern world, in which demons appear unbidden and where having a talent and using it successfully can mean either life or death.
GYPSY BLOOD is a fast-paced, dark, funny and terrifying novel - like nothing that you have ever read before. The whole thing rolls like an avalanche of skateboards building to a climactic battle royal e between Carnival, a two-timing lady vampire, a she-demon with a mother complex, a social-climbing blood god, the collective spirit of the city and a mercenary mariachi band in a rickshaw.
This is a fantasy for those folks who HATE fantasy!
"If you have got a taste for over-the-top stories in the campy mode of the EVIL DEAD movies, then this is definitely a book that you should look into." - The Goreletter
"If Harlan Ellison, Richard Matheson and Robert Bloch had a three-way sex romp in a hot tub and then a team of scientists came in and filtered out the water and mixed the leftover DNA into a test tube, the resulting genetic experiment would most likely grow up into Steve Vernon." - BOOKGASM
"Gypsy Blood is for fans of dark fantasy who think they've seen it all. Where else are you going to find a novel that opens with life and death battle with a succubus, rolls into a vampire's palm reading session, which segues into a bathtub summoning ceremony and climaxes with a non-stop showdown between a blood demon, a city incarnate, and a mercenary band of mariachi armed with a homemade propane-powered kamikaze rickshaw and assorted armaments?" - Hellnotes
"True originality is rare but you will find it every time that Steve Vernon puts his fingers on the keyboard." - Jeff Strand (author of PRESSURE)
