Making Monsters: First Man Adam
When Adam Street arrives in the small desert town of Burgundy on his Harley, he likes it and decides to stay. It seems as good a place as any to try to escape his past. Adam is the result of a secret government-run genetic experiment. He was born to the world with some rare qualities; among them supernatural strength and speed, including heightened natural senses. When he was old enough to understand that his purpose in life was to take lives, he wanted no part of it and escaped the scientific c facility (The Campus) that held him. As Adam establishes himself in Burgundy, he begins to build a new life, with new purpose, and good friends. But his creators want him back and will stop at nothing to regain their investment, sending an elite team of agents to retrieve him. The townspeople have other ideas and are willing to fight to see that he remains at liberty. In this novel, a genetically engineered being with exceptional powers wants to live a normal life. He settles in a small town of good people in hopes of building a new life – until his creators track him down.

Nanny In Prada
By Michelle
She wore shiny red spiked open toed extremely high heels. I guess to look taller than her five-foot
frame. These shoes not acceptable for work attire and would be destructive if someone stepped on
your foot or used them as a weapon. However, this endearing woman who came to help me raise my
children was too impressive for me to notice. Her name Mnemosyne, how impressive a soft woman
with a silky dress and a gentle disposition, I could not have wished for a better nanny than what she
appeared.About the Author:
My name is Michelle Vermon-Vondra. I published two poetry books under the pen name Shelly V
Vondra that were my first creations. One was My Life in A Nutshell and the other Pancakes for Sasha.
They explain life growing up with my family, friends and children. I am publishing my first short story,
Nanny in Prada, in hopes that my readers will be interested in my abilities to write fictional short stories. This story is based on events in my life, but fictional to keep my readers interest. I am thrilled to have this opportunity to keep the readers I have and introduce myself to any new readers of interest. I am a mother of three children that are now grown and accomplished and love writing fictional based short stories. You will find I love getting to the point and find that writing a novel will be my focus someday in the future. Thank you for reading!$2.99–$5.67 -

The Band: An Instrument for Control
By Deon S. King
IMAGINE A WORLD WHERE MUSIC IS MAJESTIC. A WORLD HIGHLY INFLUENCED BY LYRICS. IN THIS WORLD, SOCIAL STRUCTURE, CULTURE, ETHICS, AND MORALS WERE DICTATED BY THE BEAT OF A DRUM, BY CHORDS ON THE PIANO, THE ROARING OF A GUITAR RIFT, THE THUMP OF THE BASS, THE ORGANIC MELODY OF THE ORGAN, AND THE SEDUCTION OF A SMOOTH SOUNDING SAXOPHONE. FROM INCEPTION (MANY OF US WERE CONCEIVED VIA THE HYPNOTIC EFFECT OF MUSIC) WE LOVE MUSIC, ITS RHYTHMIC MOTION CAUSES US TO SWAY BACK AND FORTH, AND DANCE A TWO-STEP THROUGH LIFE. THEN AFTER LIFE'S DANCE WE ARE USHERED INTO THE AFTER-WORLD ACCOMPANIED BY MUSIC AND LYRICS.
INSIDE THE WORLD OF “THE BAND: AN INSTRUMENT FOR CONTROL,” THE READERS ARE INTRODUCED TO A PARALLEL UNIVERSE. THE UNIVERSE IS AN ONTOLOGICAL CONSCIOUSNESS, WHERE A DOUBLE-ENTENDRE LACED STORY IS CENTERED AROUND MUSIC, LYRICS, AND CHURCH HISTORY. THE READERS ARE INVITED TO EMBRACE THE SURFACE DIALOGUE OR ENGAGE IN THE THEOLOGICAL DEBATE (HIDDEN WITHIN) PERTAINING TO THE FORMATION OF THE CHURCH DURING THE REIGN OF CONSTANTINE AND THE EFFECTS OF AN EMPIRE CONTROLLED CHURCH. CONTINGENT UPON YOUR LOVE AFFAIR WITH MUSIC OR YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF CHURCH HISTORY; THE LYRICS WITHIN CAN BE INSIGHTFUL, INFORMATIVE, OR INSPIRATIONAL.
