Sloane Solomon is a beautiful, young college student who begins experimenting with a very intense type of dreaming known as ‘lucid dreaming’. At first, she really enjoys these dreams that are much more vivid and memorable than any she has experienced before. But her dreams quickly turn into disturbing nightmares, when she finds herself gazing into her neighbor’s apartment. There, she is confronted by horrific visions of a battered teenager who is being held captive in a tiny, hidden room.
Sloane tries to forget the nightmares and chalk them up to an overactive imagination. But more frightening dreams follow, and she can’t help wondering if there might be some element of truth behind them. To make matters worse, her neighbor has began to act very strangely, fueling her fears that maybe he isn’t as innocent as he once seemed.
Is it all in her head, or is this mysterious man really hiding a hideous secret in the darkest corner of his home? Sloane is so determined to expose her neighbor and rescue the tortured victim who haunts her dreams, that she hatches an extremely risky plot to uncover the truth. But the answers that await her could turn out to be the most frightening nightmare of all.
Sealed in Lies by Kelly Abell
Jack Weaver can’t seem to escape a life of lies. First a Seal, then as an undercover CIA operative working in the largest drug cartel in Columbia Jack’s entire existence is based on being someone other than who he truly is. While serving as Chief Security Officer to one of the most dangerous men on earth Jack uncovers a plot to assassinate the President-Elect on Inauguration Day. Suddenly things become infinitely worse when his ex-SEAL commander who is now a Deputy Director with the CIA shows up and blows his cover. Forced to kill him, Jack is now on the run not only for his life but he’s the only one who knows about the assassination attempt, other than a mysterious man who calls himself the Emperor and seems to be calling all the shots. Moreover, Jack is being haunted by terrifying dreams from his past that seem to be connected to this entire conspiracy involving his old SEAL team. Desperate for answers Jack breaks into the home of Vice-President elect Warren Walters, another SEAL teammate, where he is discovered by Warren’s abused wife Caroline. He forces Caroline to go with him with the intentions of letting her go once he gets the information he needs. Overcoming her fear of Jack, Caroline refuses to leave, seeing this as an opportunity to escape her own life of lies. This starts a chain reaction of feelings neither of them is prepared for. The Emperor has seriously underestimated Jack’s determination to find answers and is losing control over all the puppets he has in play. As Jack and Caroline come closer and closer to the answers and each other will they be able to save the President-elect’s life as well as their own, or will a blast from Jack’s past destroy them all?

This coming week, Ringling Bros. & Barnum and Bailey Circus will be performing at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. I got this message from PETA: "We will be having a big opening night demonstration and it would be wonderful if you are able to come out and help. It will be July 8th at 6:30pm right in front of the Staples Center . This one will involve people holding signs and passing out literature to passerby. It will last for one hour." So anyone in the L.A. area, please join the protest, and sign my petition which I will be sending to the Staples center (and forward it to everyone you know) . Thanks!!
