This is an edge-of-your-seat supernatural thriller from debut
author Alex Gordon - think Preston & Child meets Kim Harrison -
in which a community of gate keepers is forced to battle a
centuries old demon, and their only hope for safety lies in the
hands of a young woman who's never heard of them.
Part autobiographical, part "self help," this brilliantly told
metaphysical adventure regales the author's "meeting" with Lilith,
a Matriarchal Age warrior priestess. It is Lilith who reveals the
Nine Deadly Venoms. 'Conquer them and you live forever, but beware
' She said with a wicked leer, 'each one is indeed a venom, the
worst kind of poison and is very, very deadly." Nine Deadly Venoms
will enlighten, inspire and entertain. Light bulbs will flick on in
your head as you realise why you have experienced the life you
have. More importantly you will discover that you can take control
of your life and that you can have a happier, more fulfilled life
once you have conquered the nine deadly venoms of karma, parental
genetics, childhood conditioning, fear, language, gravity, time,
tribalistic conditioning and human breath. According to the author,
mastery of these will help you to live a longer, more rewarding and
fulfilling life in the 21st century.

and Special Places celebrates all that is best about wild fishing

For readers of Deborah Harkness, J.D. Horn, Lev Grossman, and any
supernatural thriller, a young witch must risk death and damnation
to defeat a powerful ancient evil in Alex Gordon's follow-up to the
masterful debut Gideon. In unearthing her father's secret past,
Lauren Reardon discovered a shocking truth about herself. She is a
Child of Endor, a sect of witches who believe they are the
guardians of the "thin places"-areas across the globe where evil
can seep through the divide between the worlds separating the
living and the restless dead. At any time, she can be called upon
to close one of these breaches and prevent demons from infiltrating
our realm. When Lauren has a disturbing vision of an Oregon forest,
she is drawn back to the familiar woods of the misty Pacific
Northwest to investigate. Locals had long whispered about an
abandoned logging camp known as Jericho-of the strange
disappearances and eerie sounds heard in the woods deep in the
night. But these ghost stories only hint at the true evil lurking
within the camp's dilapidated buildings, a primeval malevolence far
more terrifying than Lauren's darkest imaginings. And now, Lauren
must face this evil, even if it takes her life ...even if it costs
her soul.
