Goddess Rising by |
Now Available: A new vision of the future It is the future, and the end of the world as we know it does not come through nuclear war or an asteroid impact, but from within the earth itself. A global geologic holocaust has destroyed civilization, leaving only a tiny fraction of people to rebuild scattered colonies. Reduced to a primitive state, they live close to the earth and cultivate a Goddess worship, and chosen ones dream a prophecy that Greer, a female savior, will return them to greatness. An epic and magical story of one woman’s exceptional destiny during exceptional times, Goddess Rising follows Greer’s journey from simple obscurity to prophesied reign. Acknowledged as the face of the Goddess on earth, Greer discovers the rewards of power—and its price—as she struggles through her own labyrinth of fear and desire, sexuality and sacrifice, love and death.
Published by Elderberry Press "Bowersock writes with a passionate, poetic style... This book reads like a dreamy fairytale, except that the fair maidens rule." —Foreword Magazine |

Queen's Gold Hal Thompson is a pretty ordinary guy. A widower who owns his own small travel agency, he’s doing his best to raise his two nearly adult children alone. When they convince him to undergo a hypnotic past-life regression, he is unimpressed that his “memories” reveal the hiding place of ancient Aztec gold. Other people, however, take it very seriously, and when his family is threatened, Hal is forced into a wild chase across Mexico and into the blood-soaked memories of his past life as a soldier in Hernán Cortés’ 16th century army. Aided by a pretty Mexican airline attendant, Hal pits himself against the rugged volcanic terrain and a host of murderous black marketeers to find the gold before it claims more lives.

Available now from Draumr Publishing! Order from amazon.com or barnesandnoble.com. A finalist in Foreword Magazine's Best of the Year Awards for 2005!
"Four Stars!
Remember Me is a low-keyed drama very much centered
around the lives of two emotionally damaged people who are
living together in a marriage for their own private reasons. In
this day and age, it is refreshing to read a novel that is more
concerned with the emotional aspects of such a situation rather
than exploiting the sexual ones. The Cole's plight is described
with raw honesty. Rather than being politically correct, this
novel manages to be so much more, it manages to be life-like in
describing the dynamics of a marriage. This is one novel you
should definitely read." —The Romance Studio
"Four Cups! The author does a really good job of describing the feelings of a woman who cannot remember any part of her past. The tumultuous relationship between Elly and Graydon will keep the reader interested. Elly is a doormat in the beginning and Graydon a bully, but it is fascinating to see the balance of power in the relationship change. This is a gripping read." —Coffee Time Romance |

The Pits of Passion by Amber Flame A literal "bodice-ripper." This is NOT your mother's romance novel! "Four Roses! When I saw that The Pits of Passion is described as a historical romance satire by the publisher I was not sure as to what to expect. Of course, shortly after the first few pages I was laughing so loud that I had to explain to my husband what it was that had me so amused. Even though this is the first romance satire I have ever read, I strongly believe that Ms. Amber Flame did a wonderful job. This was truly an enjoyable story that I intend to read again. If you are looking for something out of the ordinary, this one is certainly for you. Make sure that you read it with an open mind because it simply is outrageous and on the sensual side of the scale." —A Romance Review "The Pits of
Passion is described as a historical romance satire. It has a little
bit of everything in it. If there is a situation that you ever wanted to
see in a novel, this one has it. It is the funniest thing I have read in
a long time. Ms. Flame did a great job of tying up all the loose ends.
If you want something out of the ordinary this is for you." Available now as an e-book! |

FIVE
STARS! "Queen's Gold is a real page-turner and has
something for everybody ... Set against the background of New Mexico and
the old Aztec territory in Mexico, it has love, an ancient murder,
revenge, danger, spectacular scenery well-described, and of course the
hunt for the Queen's Gold. It moves right along and kept this reader ...
truly hooked. It also has believable characters, some likable and some
-- well, not. The background of a past life regression is original and
whether you believe in reincarnation or not, it makes sense within this
novel, which deals with connections between lifetimes of 500 years ago
and people in the present. As a side note, if you are looking for a good
yarn to give your teenager, this could be it -- it contains none of the
crudeness so common in books these days but does have two nice and
normal teenage characters who are intrinsic to the plot. A word of
warning here -- don't start this book at bedtime -- you are likely to
turn those pages until the morning rooster crows." —Thelma Freedman
Four Stars! "Hal Thompson is a regular,
down-to-earth guy trying to set a good example for his young adult
daughter and son. Newly widowed, he's just beginning to put his life
back together again in between the grieving and wants the same for Wendy
and Brian. So he agrees to be present when Brian undergoes a past life
regression session. It's quite a yarn that emerges but Hal thinks no
more of it -- imagine, being a sailor on a doomed Pearl Harbor ship. When
his kids turn up some interesting research, Hal agrees to try one
session just to show his kids he's open. 
"A wonderful romance ... A wonderful
book and well worth the read." —The Romance Studio
