Perry Prete was born in Sudbury, Ontario 1962, the middle child of three. His father passed away in 1972, leaving only his mother and two siblings. His mother re-married years after, and they moved to a small town just outside Sudbury, where he completed grade school. He finished grades nine and part of grade ten at Ecole Secondaire Franco-Jeunesse before moving to London, Ontario, in 1976. He transferred to G.A. Wheable H.S. for the final two and a half years. For most of his high school years in London, he worked at McDonald's on Wellington Road. After graduating high school, Perry decided on a television career and went to Fanshawe College for Television Broadcasting and worked for CICI and CKNC, CTV and CBC affiliates for a short time in Sudbury. He moved back to London and worked for a few months before returning to Fanshawe for the Paramedic program, where he met his wife.

 After graduating from Paramedicine, he worked as a medic in St. Mary's, Stratford, London, and Windsor before relocating to Brockville, Ontario, in 1984 to work full-time as a Paramedic. While working as a Paramedic, he was injured in a stationary bike accident which put his arm in a cast, giving him the time he needed to write his first novel, "All Good Things." He wrote his second novel shortly after, "The More Things Change."

 In between novels, he briefly taught part of the Paramedic program at St. Lawrence College in Cornwall.

 Perry wrote the third novel in the series, "The Things That Matter Most," "Highway 7," "The Mind's Eye," and "The Infected." He has three unfinished novels and several completed works.

 Perry continues to work as a Paramedic for Leeds Grenville Paramedic Services. With over 40 years of experience and counting, those calls have provided ample material for his future books.

The Firefighter’s Fake Fiancee’

The Wildfire Pact Book 1

by Nelly Adler

Genre: Small Town Fake Engagement Firefighter Romance 

I ran from the altar … and ran straight into the man who still holds my heart.

After bolting from my high-society wedding in a designer gown and heels, I had nowhere to go but back to Ember Ridge, the small town I left behind.

I wasn’t expecting Cal Bennett, my high school ex, to pull me from a ditch in the pouring rain. Or to still be just as grumpy and gorgeous.

When the town assumes we’re together, I panic and blurt out we’re engaged.

Cal’s a rule-following fire captain. But agrees to fake it to protect me from my ex.

What starts as pretend turns real fast: glances that last too long, walks in town that lead to sweet kisses that don’t feel fake.

Tangled sheets and feelings we never dealt with the first time around.

But when the man I ran from tries to ruin everything with one post, the fallout threatens to destroy our second chance—for good.

And I’ll be damned if I’ll let that happen.

Roll Them Bones

 

 

Winning at this casino can be HELL

Roll Them Bones

by Danielle Gomes

Genre: Supernatural Thriller, Horror

A gripping supernatural thriller where the house always wins—unless you’re willing to burn it all down.

When Lilith Umbra flees Las Vegas for a fresh start at the Golden Sands Casino in Atlantic City, she thinks she’s escaping her tragic past. But some fates can’t be outrun.

Strange occurrences plague the crumbling casino: phantom sounds, impossible shadows, and visions that feel disturbingly real. Local journalist Sharp insists the building is cursed, while her charismatic boss Amon dismisses such claims as nonsense.

But when Lilith uncovers a mysterious book detailing the rituals of a powerful occult organization, she realizes the truth is far more sinister than any ghost story.

As ancient prophecies collide with modern ambition, Lilith discovers she hasn’t stumbled into evil’s path—she’s been guided there. With allies who may be enemies and time running out, she faces an impossible choice that will determine not just her fate, but the fate of humanity itself.

Perfect for fans of supernatural thrillers who love unreliable narrators, shocking twists, and stories where nothing is as it seems.

Some games are rigged from the start. But sometimes, the only way to win is to change the rules entirely.
