No Shadows Left Behind - A book that will make you question… that will make you feel…
By Tina-Sue Ducross
There is no escape from the shadows of the past. At least, not for Melissa…Terrorizing dreams, panic attacks, and everyday interactions bring back a past that she thought was dead and gone. As a teacher, Melissa sees signs that one of her students, Christy Kade, is coping with the very same struggle. As Melissa tries to decide if she should intervene in Christy's life, she realizes how hard it must have been for people surrounding her to come to her rescue.
Christy is enduring abuse from her father. She lives in fear and silence daily. As she gains a desperately-needed friendship, Christy begins to believe in herself and to find the courage to reach out for help. As the school year progresses, both Christy and Melissa learn to trust others and begin to find their inner strength. As our heroines open themselves up to the lessons taught to them by their loved ones, they grow in ways they’d never thought possible.
Broken lives can be mended; joy can be found. Ugly things do happen behind closed doors, but help—and hope—exist.

This competition will seek to find, and celebrate writing talent. The closing day for each competition is the last day of the month. Writers wishing to find out more about the competition, or send entries, should visit www.globalshortstories.net

Author Association Website, AuthorsOntheNet.com, Launches to Help Authors Publish and Promote books
AuthorsOnTheNet.com, a website supporting writers who want to self-publish books, is very pleased to announce the launch of their website which will make it easier for authors all over the world to get their work published and promoted. An extension of their self-publishing company ZDocs, AuthorsOnTheNet.com features a wide range of helpful book publishing and promoting tools to help all kinds of authors with self book publishing as well as marketing their published work to their audiences.
Previously focusing on helping writers self-publish books cost-effectively, ZDocs’ President Phil Davis was inspired to create the site when an author asked him one day why the company could not help him sell his books. Over time, Mr. Davis continued to hear from authors asking him the same question and he decided to use the power of the Internet to help authors sell, promote, and market their work to their audiences. After conducting extensive research on the best ways to provide additional support to his clients, he discovered a wealth of cost-effective promotional options online which included:
- Podcasting
- Blogging
- Social Networking
- Online Press Releases
- Online Book Clubs
The new site features tutorials, videos, forums where authors can share self-publishing ideas, guided tours on how to find and use the self-publishing resources on the site, and a wide range of promotional materials to help authors connect with their audiences. Site visitors can also register to join Authors On the Net as Associates for access to additional resources and promotional materials.
Intended to bridge the gap between writing and self-publishing a book and selling a book, AuthorsOnThenet.com is an online coaching system to guide authors through the process of marketing their self-published books. Any authors interested in these services are encouraged to visit www.AuthorsOnThe Net.com.
Phone Philip Davis at 866-669-3627 or email him at info@authorsonthenet.com

Steven Clark Bradley's books are about issues that will make you think and reevaluate the things you've never questioned before. Steven's three novels are listed here with excerpts from each. Below you will find a description of each of his novels.
Nimrod Rising ISBN: 1424189853. Have you ever felt that the world was guided in ways that are beyond man’s control? The constant changes in the world since the time of Nimrod 4000 years ago until today and all the events that have shaken the world have been to bring the universe back into the hands of the Prince of Darkness, Lucia, a world that he had ruled with his Watchers before it was all ripped from his grasp when man was created. Nimrod Rising paints a diabolical picture of how the Prince of Darkness executes his evil plot to take the world back by force and destroy civilization in the process. From the Great Builder Nimrod in 4000 BC to today, 666 generations later, you can ride the storm of Nimrod Rising and experience the death of a world and the birth pangs of another. You will swear it is really upon us!
StillBorn! ISBN: 1424130735. When two brothers are separated from birth they usually find great joy when at last they discover each other. It is not always so harmonious, though. StillBorn explores what can happen when an Illegal adoption causes twins to be born without love and sold without remorse. When one is rejected because of a physical defect and left in an orphanage without identity and the other is adopted in his place into a wonderful life, the result is one of bitterness and ruthless revenge. When they
grow up and find each other, a game of revenge and death is played out. See what a life of pain, suffering and abuse can do when vengeance becomes a driving motivation and humanity is shouting, StillBorn!
Probable Cause ISBN: 1424117313. Have you ever wished you could simply decide the best way to correct a serious wrong done to you? Chief Inspector Corbett (Core) Mandeville was the best of the best in solving the worst crimes in his state, until now. This time, he has an uncanny affinity with a killer who has more than one attitude in common with his own. This time the crime was too close to Core's own heart for comfort. This killer had a reason for what he was doing and Core understood it as though it were he himself was stepping out and taking justice into his own hands. Get into the mind of the killer and the cop as both find a relationship that makes for exciting, lethal and profound actions of vengeance and justice. You'll have fun trying to figure out the crime. You may be amazed how similar they both can be when all their actions are based on Probable Cause!
Steven Clark Bradley's novels are available at: Amazon.com, booksamillion.com and powells.com
