Toxic
Enigma
by Ashley Robertson

National Indie Excellence Awards Finalist
The sun bleeds as heat is stolen from the
core,
Toxic fumes from the intruder burst into the atmosphere of my heart,
Crimson tears fall like rain for those in
the path of the monster,
I helplessly watch as it rips into their souls and tears them
apart.
Pleading prayers with inaudible words,
Dreams stitched together with threads of
hope,
A tsunami of emotions swirl,
Plunging forward, grip tightening around
life’s rope,
Cutting into my tender flesh,
Pain oozes from a wound of repeated
assaults,
But its
unstoppable with its never ending
abuse…
without remorse or taking fault.
Desperation swells inside a heart that’s
grown bitter,
My body becomes numb as the venom of its actions spread,
Leaving a bad taste in my mouth that
can’t be washed away,
An enigma that will forever thrash inside
my head.

Death Dealer
Dark Angel #1 - Out Now
Death: a word Mia Baron was all too familiar with since the murder of her parents when she was a young girl. Her drive for vengeance was the reason she became a Death Dealer—a soul guide through the spirit realm—signing her life away in her own blood. Pain forged a concrete wall around her heart and no one or nothing would ever penetrate it…until she got what she desired most—revenge.
Deacon Gage craves justice for his own horrific tragedy that forced him into the same life Mia chose, with the same promise of vengeance dangling just out of reach. His expert training makes him an Elite—one of the few Death Dealers to ever achieve such a status—and no one can shift his focus from the blood he seeks.
But when the two are partnered for yet another job and a heart-shattering case rips open Mia’s heart, Deacon realizes he’s the only one who can save her…at a price that might be too much to pay: opening his heart to her. The clock is ticking and her life hangs on the balance of whether he can truly let go or will hold onto his desire for blood.
