The Sleeper by Gary P. DeMarco


The Universe is an ordered, timeless place, guided and guarded by Celestial Messengers and Observers who are sometimes called Angels. Their supreme duties include insuring the normal progress of the Cosmos and of all life forms and to protect against any undue interference. But what would happen if one, or any, of these Celestial Beings decided to reshape things as they wished; in blatant contradiction of established norms?

When one of the Angels departs from his Continuum, interfering in the everyday lives of mortals and their respective destinies, the result conflicts with the Supreme Order of the Universe bringing chaos to dozens of worlds, upsetting established order and ruining countless lives.

Now, it is up to the other Angels to retrieve their wayward brother, to undo the damage and to reestablish the previous order throughout the Cosmos.

Overdue by Lewis Stockham


Libraries have been around for centuries. Just like many other institutions in our society, they have changed and grown as society has changed and grown. Based on his personal experiences and stories he has collected, Lewis Stockham reveals the reality of working in the modern public library.

Libraries are not always quiet and peaceful. They can be loud, crazy and full of quite colorful characters. The stories contained in this book are meant to entertain but also to inform people. Stockham blends wit, humor, and his own philosophy into these unique experiences.

The Royal Arch of Enoch by Robert W. Sullivan IV, Esq.


“And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.” - Genesis 5:24.

The Royal Arch of Enoch: The Impact of Masonic Ritual, Philosophy, and Symbolism documents an undiscovered historical anomaly: how a high degree Masonic Ritual - developed in France in the mid 1700’s - included elements of the Book of Enoch which was considered lost until Freemason and traveler James Bruce returned to Europe with copies from Ethiopia in 1773. These copies were not translated into English until 1821 at Oxford University. This high degree ritual - titled The Royal Arch of Enoch - documents the recovery of the “Lost Word of a Master Mason”, the Name of God. It is this ritual in particular that has defined, among other things, the American national character. The Royal Arch of Enoch also documents the symbolic restoration of the sun as the premier icon in all of Freemasonry and as the supreme emblem of imperial administration and religiosity lifted from the Ancient Mysteries, incorporated into the Abrahamic Faiths, and carried on in both Blue Lodge and High Degree Masonry.

This book presents a real life “Da Vinci Code/National Treasure” mystery which, until the publication of this book, was previously unknown to history and historians in both the East and West.

Insatiable: A Mermaid's Curse by Daniele Lanzarotta


Arianna always felt like she didn’t belong in the world where she was born. Ever since she was little, she used to hide behind the rocks in the sea, and watch the human family who spent their summers on that island. Over the years, there was nothing she wished more than to be like them, especially so she could get close to Blake, the human boy who she saw turn into a troubled teenager and then, an unhappy man.

Once her dad grew tired of her dreams and hopes for a reality that is not her own, Arianna is thrown into an arranged marriage, and her only way out of it is to make a deal with the power-hungry man who will give her everything that she has ever dreamed of. Dreams that turn into nightmares as she watches Blake’s world fall apart, because of her and Blake’s inability to control their desires for one another.

Due to sexual content and language, this book is recommended for 17+

RSP SUMMER BLOGFEST: Book Trailer Wednesday!


First Aid for Heroes by Jane H. Davis.

Everyone remembers where they were and what they were doing on the tragic day, September 11th, 2001. It is astonishing that this single day in our nation’s history could create such a dramatic chain of events, drastically affecting and altering so many lives. We each have our own story how this day affected us. This book is about Jane’s story; the days leading up to 9/11, her volunteering at Ground Zero in New York City for six and a half weeks, and the ensuing ten years. She persevered forward in her life with a passion while coping with her husband’s life threatening illnesses and the loss of her mother. These and many more defining moments forced Jane to examine her inner strength and ability to survive through very difficult and trying times.



About the author:  
Jane has been a volunteer for many years while traveling around the world with her husband during his military career with the US Army. Her major volunteer experience was in 2001 when she traveled to New York City, after 9/11; with the American Red Cross to work as a First Aid nurse at Ground Zero, taking care of the rescue and recovery workers.
In 2006, Jane’s husband received the diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease.  Thankfully, the disease is progressing slowly and he continues to work full time and lives an active life. In 2009 Jane’s husband was diagnosed with stage 4 Mantle Cell Lymphoma.  He currently is in remission.
Together they fight these battles and work on maintaining a positive outlook.
Jane and her husband Gary reside in Northern Virginia. She is a mother of two, and grandmother of three.
