Author Comment by Kristen Elise on Friday -
In the ruins of Herculaneum lies the Villa dei Papiri, a sprawling palace once owned by the father-in-law of Julius Caesar. In the 79CE eruption of Mount Vesuvius, the villa and its extensive library were buried and perfectly preserved. Today, they have been partially excavated. The thousands of documents within the library are still legible.
A document unearthed from within the Villa dei Papiri has just been translated. The document describes an ancient remedy for metastatic cancer in women. It was authored by Julius Caesar's last lover, Queen Cleopatra VII. It is, in fact, the only written text that has ever been attributed to the highly educated, multilingual and scientifically-minded last ruler of Ptolemaic Egypt.
The two-thousand-year-old remedy described in the document is the only hope for thousands today.
When her Nobel Laureate husband is murdered, drug discovery biologist Katrina Stone can no longer ignore the secrecy that has increasingly pervaded his recent behavior. Her search leads first to another woman, and then to the two-thousand-year-old document. As Katrina races to solve her husband's murder, she is led from ancient Italy and Egypt into the modern-day conflict that her husband was killed for. And she learns that his death was only the beginning.

A woman with a secret…
The Federal Paranormal Unit is an elite squad of supernaturals dedicated to solving missing persons cases. Erica’s gift allows her a special connection with the crime, but it comes at a deep personal cost… Until now, she’s kept her gift a secret, even from the other members of the team. But this case will throw her together with Agent Trent Buchanan. He’s the object of her secret desires, but he’s also a cocky womanizer. She’d rather swim in shark-infested waters with a paper cut than admit she has feelings for him.
A man with one desire…
Wolf Shifter Trent wants Erica more than he’s ever wanted any woman. He’s spent years patiently waiting for her to admit that she wants him too. Working one-on-one in a race to find a serial killer, Trent’s patience and Erica’s resolve wear thin. When Trent discovers the truth about Erica, will he accept her for who she is? And can he protect her from the horrors that her gift brings?
A case that pushes them to the edge…
Erica will have to risk it all if she wants to stop the killer, and when she does, Trent may have to put his own life on the line to make sure his mate is protected…

The Starlight Club III by Joe Corso
Fantastic mixture of action and politics.
As a daughter, when your father allows you a glimpse into his past, telling stories which help you understand the man he has become it’s an honour. So, when Bobby Valentine visits his daughter Lynn she cannot resist asking for just one more tale about his life at The Starlight Club. How can a father refuse?
Set in the early sixties with John Kennedy as President and Bobby Kennedy as his Attorney General.
Getting to President is no easy thing, strings have to be pulled, deals made, the right introductions and for all this, there is a price to pay. Promises made by others are not binding, some people believe, and Bobby Kennedy calls on Agent Lonegan to recruit mercenaries who become rogue “Federal Agents.”
When the time honoured rules and promises are broken the Mafia are not happy and retaliation is the name of the game. Who did kill John Kennedy?
Along with new characters, all our favourites are still here from the rest of this brilliant series of stories, and their lives evolve in it.
With an exciting story line, which encompasses murder, mystery, boxing, politics and much more, Joe Corso has written yet another classic.
Let’s hope we see a Starlight Club IV soon.
Available at Amazon in Paperback here http://www.amazon.com/The-Starlight-Club-lll-Volume/dp/1479212830/r...
