MARILYN KRIETE's New Release PARADISE ROAD

Released and published by Lucid House Publishing, this book is available worldwide in paperback and ebook!

A picture containing text, person Description automatically generated

A restless child of the 1960s, Marilyn yearns for love, hippiedom, and escape from her mother’s control. At 14, she runs nearly a thousand miles away to Vancouver, British Columbia, eventually landing herself in a Catholic home for troubled girls. At 16, she’s emancipated, navigating adulthood without a high school diploma, and craving a soulmate. When she falls in love with Jack, the grad student living next door, life finally seems perfect. The two embark on a cross-continental bicycle trip, headed for South America, but before they reach Mexico, Jack dies. Utterly shattered, Marilyn does the hardest thing she can imagine: a solo bicycle trip, part tribute, part life test. She conquers her fears but goes wildly off course, chasing her heart as she falls into a series of tragicomic rebounds. Two itinerant years later, a chain of events in Montana’s Bitterroot Mountains leads to a peace she never expected to find. 

Reminiscent of Wild and Travelling with Ghosts, Marilyn’s journey portrays a life unmoored by grief, brought to shore again.

PARADISE ROAD was selected as the InternationalPulpwood Queens and Timber Guys Book Club’s International Book of the Month for March 2021.

PRAISE FOR PARADISE ROAD:

"Paradise Road is a fearless account of Marilyn Kriete's life of adventure. She unspools the tale of plunging into each chapter of her life with great candor and momentum. She has an uncanny knack for putting the reader by her side through each exhilaration, each heartbreak, each danger, each triumph."

“Watching Marilyn Kriete crack wide open and feel utterly wounded, only to watch her attempt to piece herself back together one mile at a time. From her happiness feeling truly ebullient to her crestfallen soul, we meet a woman furiously bicycling towards her future. Paradise Road is such a beautifully painted story, I felt as if I was with her and cheering her on the entire time.”
Annie McDonnell of The Write Review

Like Milton’s Paradise Lost and Kerouac’s On the Road, Marilyn Kriete’s Paradise Road is an epic poetic trip. I was bewitched by the language from start to finish and hoping for more.”
Judy Kirkwood, award-winning writer and author of Prelude to a Divorce

Every once in a while, a memoir comes along that is so inspiring you want to share it with the world. Paradise Road is the very brave story of a woman, who had the tenacity and spirit to rise above all of life's sorrows and challenges. Five Diamonds in the Pulpwood Queen Mandatory Tiara of great reads!”

LUCID HOUSE PUBLISHING AND THE NATIONAL INDIE EXCELLENCE AWARDS

LUCID HOUSE PUBLISHING
GETS FULL REPRESENTATION AT THE 15TH ANNUAL  NATIONAL INDIE EXCELLENCE AWARDS 

May 29, 2021: Lucid House Publishing prides itself on seeking out and developing key talents in the literary arts. The company, founded by authors for authors, offers a bespoke publishing solution — a fancy way of saying that the Lucid House team works with an author, whose work is a good fit for the publishing house, in whatever capacity you need to get your book ready for publication. Whether your project requires content editing, ghost writing, cover design, interior layouts, or consulting, Lucid House helps authors devote their time to match their goals for their unique projects.

As a relatively new publisher, Lucid House’s business model — treating other authors the way the award-winning founders and authors, Echo Montgomery Garrett and Connor Judson Garrett, want to be treated — has faced challenges competing within an expansive book market where only four big traditional houses remain and where self-publishing is becoming an even stronger trend. Gauging the effectiveness amongst readers and book market share alike has been challenging particularly when its major new releases all came out during the pandemic. But that all changed today!

Lucid House Publishing, an Atlanta-based company, has one Winner and four Finalists (one a consulting client) in the prestigious 15th Annual National Indie Excellence Awards, sponsored by Smarketing LLC., a company established in 2007 by Ellen Reid, an entrepreneur who has guided hundreds of authors in creating their own publishing companies and producing books of outstanding quality.

The award submissions number in the thousands, making it quite an honor to have even one Finalist much less four plus a category Winner, all in hotly contested categories.

Lucid House Publishing had representation in five different categories. Please see selections below:

Paradise Road by Marilyn Kriete
Winner: Young Adult Non-Fiction
Finalist: New Adult Non-Fiction
Finalist: Book Cover Design – Non-Fiction (Troy King, designer)

My Pursuit of Beauty: A Cosmetic Chemist Reveals the Glitz, The Glam and The Batsh*t Crazy
By Vince Spinnatto
 Finalist: LGBTQ Non-Fiction Category
Publisher: BookLogix / Consultant: Lucid House Publishing

A picture containing text, person Description automatically generated

At age 10, Vince Spinnato watched TV soaps with his grandmother and became enamored with the characters on The Young and the Restless, who owned a cosmetics firm. He vowed he would follow in their footsteps and chose a name - VS Vincenzo. In his unconventional memoir, Spinnato shares the inner workings of the multi-billion-dollar beauty industry with entertaining tales about creating beauty products and fine fragrances for celebrities including Michael Jordan, Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Simpson, Lindsay Lohan, Gwen Stefani, and many others.

Spinnato also shares some of his life's most bizarre situations: the time he survived a tornado in Iowa while being tethered to a bridge; another when he became stuck inside a resort water slide that involved melted butter and a rescue by the fire department; an embarrassing meetup with film star Lauren Bacall; and his terrifying flight post 9/11 that was nearly shot down by fighter pilots.

Transforming himself into a well-known serial entrepreneur and beauty industry expert was no small feat. Along the way, Spinnato dealt with incessant bullying, coming out, dyslexia, body dysmorphia, trichotillomania, and multiple betrayals. "A devastating breakup was the last straw", he says. "At age 20, I got in my car, waved goodbye to New Jersey and headed to Hollywood, determined to launch my career."

He eventually founded TurnKey Beauty, Inc., to develop beauty and personal care products for celebrities, as well as major retailers (more than 300 products and counting). A contributor to Vogue, Vanity Fair, Harper's Bazaar, W, Esquire, and GQ, the cosmetic chemist founded Aegean Skincare, LLC and Vincenzo Skincare, LLC. In My Pursuit of Beauty, Spinnato not only reveals behind-the-scenes tales of working with the rich and famous, searing stories of loves lost, and his scramble to make it, but also his moving journey to self-acceptance.

A New Direction In Crime

 ONE LONDON DAY
By International Bestselling Author and Arthur Ellis Award Winner Chris (CC) Humphreys


A picture containing text, person Description automatically generated

July 30th 2018. It’s the hottest Summer in fifty years and Joseph Severin, a respectable North London businessman, has taken on a lucrative side job. He’s doing the books, old school, (because these days the only trail you can’t trace is a paper one) for a rogue MI5 outfit, the Shadows, headed by clever, psychopathic Sebastien. When the game is rumbled, he sends their hitman, Mr Phipps, to kill Severin and get those books back.

For a simple man, Severin has a complicated life. He’s developed a sudden and wild passion for Lottie – aka ‘chaos on two legs’. Who is in love with Patrick, the next hot young black actor. Who is obsessed by Sonya, a gorgeous Russian escort. Who has one night to make the final money she needs for her daughter’s cancer operation. With MI6 onto them, and the books missing, the Shadows panic. And a day that begins with a hit in Finchley ends in violence and betrayal on the steamy night streets of Portobello.

ONE LONDON DAY is a daisy chain tale of characters and connections, a contemporary London Noir. Like that genre’s 40’s origins, this story has its hood, its moll, its femme fatale, its fancy boy. Everyone is both protagonist and antagonist. No one gets out unharmed – and some don’t get out at all.

A Space Opera Set In The StarQuest Saga By Dragon Award Finalist, Richard Paolinelli

 GALEN’S WAY
A STARQUEST 4TH AGE ADVENTURE

Released and published by Tuscany Bay Books, this book is available digitally in all platforms!

A picture containing text, person Description automatically generated

Millions of years in the future, humanity has been driven out of the Milky Way and now calls the Andromeda Galaxy home. Lost in their murky past are the tales of great knights that held the line against the invasion of a dark force until the rest of humanity could escape their doom. The last and greatest of these knights was Galen Underwood.

Long after that heroic stand, a mercenary by the name of Galen Dwyn has been hired to rescue a kidnapped princess. Enticed by a healthy down payment and a chance to settle an old score, Galen accepts the job, only to find out it's a lot more than he bargained for.

Soon Galen finds himself weaving and dodging through a web of political intrigue as the very forces that chase him have set in motion plans that will throw the galactic alliance into civil war.

To his surprise, he also finds that the rescued princess might not be quite the spoiled brat he rescued from the clutches of her keeper.

Accompanied by the princess, his former mentor, and a snarky AI, Galen sets out to find a way to outsmart entire kingdoms, keep the princess alive, and avert the deaths of millions.
Of course, he'll also learn the reasons behind his namesake's chosen path, as he realizes that the only way to win is Galen's way.

A SEASON IN LIGHTS By Award-winning Author, GREGORY ERICH PHILLIPS

 A NOVEL IN THREE ACTS

Released and published by Lucid House Publishing, this book is available worldwide in paperback and ebook!


A picture containing text, person Description automatically generated

In the colorful artistic underworld off-Broadway, Cammie, a dancer in her mid-thirties, has just landed her first part in a show since coming to New York City. Yet the tug of familial obligation and the guilt of what she sacrificed to be there weigh down her dancing feet. Her lover, Tom, an older piano player, came to the city as a young man in the 1980s with a story eerily in tune with Cammie's own. Through their triumphs and failures, both learn the fleeting nature of glory, the sweetness of new love, and how a dream come true isn't cherished until it passes. The bright lights of the stage intoxicate, while degradation and despair lurk close behind the curtain. Their sagas are marred by two pandemics, AIDS in the 1980s and COVID-19 today, which ravaged the performing arts community, leaving a permanent scar on those who lived through them. The poignant intersection of their stories reveals a love affair unbound by time, reaching across decades through the notes of a piano's remembered song.

This remarkable literary novel is the first to address the devastating impact that the pandemic has had on New York City’s performing artists. In this compelling work, Gregory Erich Phillips, an award-winning author, addresses timely topics such as racial prejudice and prejudice against the LGBT community, interracial romance, drug and alcohol addiction, depression, along with classic struggles like sibling rivalry and family drama.

My Book Review of THE ARTIST By Christie Stratos

The Artist: A surprising secret-driven historical suspense short story (Dark Victoriana Collection)The Artist: A surprising secret-driven historical suspense short story by Christie Stratos
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Haunting History

This well written short story fascinated me. It wasn't at all what I expected, surprising me with the plot development. I was engaged from start to finish.
As someone who favors historical fiction, this was spot on for me. It was smart, authentic, and brilliantly delivered. I enjoyed the characters, finding Jonesy particularly likeable.
I highly recommend this story and author.

THE SECRET OF EXCALIBUR
Excalibur Saga Book One

 A PARANORMAL FICTION NOVEL IN SCI FI PROPORTIONSBY AWARD WINNING NOVELIST SAHARA FOLEY

The book is available worldwide in digital and print across all platforms!

His superpowers made him invincible.  

Or so he thought.  

Ever since his head injury, Arthur has become fearless – arrogant even.

The CIA? FBI?

He laughed in their faces and teleported half-way around the world. To England, of all places. The Institute of Psychic Research, to be exact. One of the doctors there sets his heart throbbing.

Ruth Burns is a feisty red head who wants nothing to do with the obnoxious American. However, her boss, and his colleague, Commander Dobie, have other ideas. They devise a plan to use her to control Arthur and his abilities.

Tired of Dobie’s bureaucratic nonsense, Arthur teleports to the countryside with Ruth by his side. They end up at Lake George. A place where Ruth previously had a horrifying encounter with The Lady of Lake and the legendary sword, Excalibur.

When Arthur gets mentally scanned by something Metal, Alive, Not Moving, he is compelled to hunt for the infamous pair. Suddenly, their trip turns into a military expedition and they realize there are more secrets hidden beneath the dark waters than anyone imagined.

And to top it off, unknown forces are causing Arthur’s powers to go wonky. He’s losing control. Fear has become the order of the day.

Will Arthur be able to recover his abilities in time to prevent WWIII? His next move may determine the fate of the world.

You’ll love this snarky urban fantasy / sci-fi adventure
because the twists, turns, and smoldering romance makes you want to keep turning the pages!
