What they're saying about this series:

"Color Me Grey was a fun and exciting book. J.C. Phelps keeps the action and suspense high and manages to hint at romance just enough to make the characters exceptionally intriguing. I loved Alexis Stanton as the heroine - she's tough but also smart and sensitive; larger than life but still easy to relate to. The book was well written with a perfect pace, and as all my favorite series entries do, it tells a succinct story while still keeping readers eager for its sequels. There's nothing Grey about whether or not Phelps knows how to write - clear as black and white, she is a wonderful storyteller and an awesome author to check out!"--Amazon Reviewer

"I have always loved books where female leads are thrust into, what is stereotypically, a man's position, and this little ditty is no exception. J.C. Phelps did a wonderful job of weaving suspense, intrigue, and lust, resulting in what was a very pleasurable, and solid read. Each character had their own unique qualities and the use of "code names" while developing each was an engaging way to keep the reader guessing as to who they "really" were. The plot, however, is where Phelps' writing really shined. As a reader the push and pull of a story is what keeps you reading. "Where is this going?" "I know something big is about to happen... but what is it?" This more than anything is what made "Color Me Grey" so exciting, you could always feels something bubbling just under the surface... even in the most sedated moments of monologue."--Missy Baker of KindleObsessed

The battle of Armageddon was finally fought... and ended with no clear victor. Upon the mountain, the armies of Hell and Heaven beat each other into a bloody, uneasy standstill, leaving the Earth in ruins. Armageddon should have ended with Heaven winning, ushering in an era of peace. That's what the prophecies said. Instead, the two armies--one of angels, one of demons--hunker down in the scorched planet, lick their wounds, and gear up for a prolonged war with no end in sight.

In this chaos of warring armies and ruined landscapes, Laila doesn't want to take sides. Her mother was an angel, her father a demon; she is outcast from both camps. And yet both armies need her, for with her mixed blood, Laila can become the ultimate spy... or ultimate soldier. As the armies of Heaven and Hell pursue her, Laila's only war is within her heart--a struggle
between her demonic and heavenly blood.

An aimless young man with a broken heart… four former child prodigies with a earthshaking idea... an amateur musician who is considerably more than she seems and an unearthly force capable of ripping people right out of this world come together in the swirl of magic and science that is WINTER OF THE WILD HUNT.

Sharing a home with four super geniuses isn’t easy, especially if you’re worried the machine they’re building in the attic might just destroy the planet.

When a beautiful singer with a voice that’s literally out of this world smashes into your life like a freight train all hope of normalcy goes right out the window. Suddenly you’re changing for her. Not only your mind but your body is changing into something new, something alien, something inhuman. You find yourself at the center of a centuries’ old conflict between all of mankind and mystical forces too powerful and malevolent to contemplate.

When you realize the fate of two worlds rests on which side of the conflict you choose you know whatever you decide could spell oblivion for billions including your best friends and the woman you’ve come to love.

WINTER OF THE WILD HUNT is a tale of magic, science, friendship and a love so terrible it just might break the world.

What they're saying about it:

"The opening notes of "Winter of the Wild Hunt" present a hint of "Weird Science", but the accompaniment layers mystic folklore and Worlds of Old. The duet of a young man's heart and a restless,searching soul of possibilities drive the story's song until the crescendo of science, magic and choices collide. With mysterious flourishes, the storyteller leads you down the path of The Winding Road, while the music of the tale hauntingly dances in the air, spinning past and present together. This is a score that, when the last note is played and hangs in the air, its resonance will leave you pondering the vastness of it all. As the pen of the storyteller comes to rest, like the conductor lowering his baton, you will be compelled to rise from your seat and call out an admired, "Bravo!"."--Amazon Reviewer

What if, when your parents told you there was nothing in the dark that could hurt you, they were wrong? What if there's something there that can hurt you, kill you, chew you up and swallow your soul? What if that something has an address, a house where it sits in the shadows, waiting for someone, anyone, to stumble inside? What if that someone is you?

It's hard enough being a tough guy in a city like Arcana where magic is a real as a bullet to the forehead. When you have to be tough enough to walk into a house that eats souls the way kids eat hard candy, well, there's tough and then there's tough.

Hardboiled fantasy and horror from the author of THE COST OF OPENING.

What they're saying about it:

"The Price of Salt is an interesting and creative novella in the dark fantasy/horror genre. The narrator definitely sounds like a hardboiled detective, but this guy is more interesting than an every day detective. This guy has to fight evil magic. I liked that although this is a horror story and there were some scary elements, there wasn't a lot of gore. I preferred to be scared or captivated by a story rather than grossed out by it. Of course, I'm not every reader so this is just an FYI.

I also really liked how the story got its title. It came full circle at the end and I liked that."--Amazon Reviewer

It’s 2090 A.D. The United States of America ceased to exist twenty years earlier, after the Supreme Court declared all who participate in an abortion subject to the death penalty. The six fragmentary nation-states that emerged out of the violence following from the Great Dissolution, are just now being forced to contemplate a reunification. All of the so-called heads of state are being systematically assassinated, and a militant religious group, the True Way, seems to be responsible. They have never concealed their desire to forge one theocratic union extending across the entire North American continent. In order to avoid the chaos that threatens to break out again as a result of the assassinations, most of the new nations are submitting to a reunion.

Hired to perform one of the remaining assassinations is one “Hitler the Cat,” who has motives of his own to dispatch the reigning Bishop of the Republic of Southern California. However, things do not go as planned. Instead, a revised scheme brings together an unlikely band of conspirators who manage temporarily to convince the masses throughout the world that they are witnessing the Second Coming of Christ. But it’s not the Christ they expected. Rather, this particular Christ is a drug-addicted midget of Japanese ancestry, and his life expectancy is not overly long.


What they're saying about it:


"I wasn't so sure how I felt about the book in the very beginning. I actually found myself to be confused at times because of all the characters and all the conspiracies, etc. But I quickly made sense of everything and greatly enjoyed the book. I thought the schemes were brilliant, and the writer did a great job. The entire storyline was well thought out and creative. Loved it."--Goodreads Reviewer

When attorney Diana Martin takes on a case referred by her best friend, PI Jess Edwards, the case unexpectedly dredges up memories of childhood abuse that fuel Diana's resolve to protect the children involved.

As the case unfolds, Diana and Jess, a flamboyant African-American beauty, cross paths with a group of hunters that includes the new client, his estranged son-in-law and three other buddies who have more in common than hunting: their women are disappearing.

A psychopath hides in plain sight within the band of hunters. For him, the thrill of big game has lost its savor. Now he collects ethnically diverse women who please his esthetic senses. And he's learned how to keep them beautiful forever.

As Diana struggles with her self-image after a failed marriage and the stillbirth of her first child, she's tempted by the advances of her client's son-in-law whose wife is one of the missing women. Ever practical and outspoken, Jess warns her of potential trouble. But neither woman is aware that more than a broken heart is at stake for Diana. In fact, both Diana and Jess have recently made the psychopath's acquisitions list.

Edge of Escape by Debra Chapoton, reveals the fractured heart of Eddie, an emotionally impaired 18-year-old who has spent most of his school years in special education classes. Placed there by an over protective mother who also blames her son for his unintentional part in his father’s death, Eddie is kept separated from normal student interactions. Eddie’s guilt and his place among the unaccepted serve to keep him invisible to the rest of the students, especially the popular ones . . . like Rebecca. His obsession for her compels him to devise a plan to win her over. What should have been appropriate advances become, for Rebecca, the terror of stalking and abduction. He drugs her, abducts her and locks her away. She escapes, but that is part of his plan as he pretends to be her knight in shining armor. Throughout her ordeal there are flashbacks into both Rebecca’s and Eddie’s lives and how those lives have been intersecting all through their school years. If she falls for the fragile spirit who stalks her, does love erase evil intent? If she fails to see the innocent infatuation for what it is, will she be responsible for the inevitable tragedy that foreshadows their tangled fate?

What they're saying about it:

"This novel is a twisting turning adventure full of angst, love, curiosity, and suspense. Each and every page pulls the reader deeper and deeper into the minds and worlds of Debra Chapoton's characters. Having read both editions, the paperback and the Kindle edition, I was very pleased with the differences. The Kindle edition is the original story, the manuscript, and the paperback is the final revised edition. Both versions were equally enjoyable yet strikingly different. I would recommend this book to any person, older child and young adult alike who simply likes to read for the sake of reading. I am very happy with my purchase and cannot wait to see what else is created from the mind of this talented author."--Amazon Reviewer

"Edge of Escape will keep you on the edge of your seat. You won't be able to decide whether to boo Edward, or root for him. As the mother of teen daughters myself, I so wanted to see Rebecca escape; at the same time I had so much compassion for Edward that I almost wanted him to win her over. Debra Chapoton has done a fantastic job in getting into the mindset of this disturbed young man, and taking the reader along for the ride."--Amazon Reviewer
