Psychological thriller
XXXtreme Discretion shows us just how dangerous the world of casual internet dating can be. Non-stop suspense with a touch of supernatural involvement and unexpected twists every step of the way. A shocking, raw, and powerful juggernaut that puts a new twist on common abduction tales.
In the dictionary, under the definition of the word ‘psychopath,’ there should be a picture of Dwight Barnes, a self-made business man whose success was born out of his twisted desire to fulfill a secret promise to a lost loved one.
When Roxbury, New Jersey detectives, Monica Ross and Mike D’Tavio, discover their case involving a missing woman might be linked to three others in the nearby area, all traceable to a casual affair dating site known as “XXXtreme Discretion,” they try to fit the puzzle pieces together with little success… until Ross spirals into what appears to be a hopeless situation of pain and suffering, leading to an unexpected ending that will keep everyone on the edge of their seats.

The Colby Ghost
Ghosts, reincarnation, true love and belief beyond this life, Infinito writes a love story BETTER than The Notebook, Somewhere in Time, The Sixth Sense and The Reincarnation of Peter Proud combined. Yeah, he really does! Think of Big or Peggy Sue Got Married, both adult with teenage protagonists who are really adults. But unlike those, Miles and Diane are clueless, having to put all the unbelievable puzzle pieces together. It took faith, trust, belief, determination, and perseverance.
Sixteen-year-old Miles Hanson has been to Oak Lake every summer for as long as he can remember. Hiking alone, he climbs a cliff and sits to admire the water below when a girl his age wearing a well-worn dress appears from nowhere. She tells him things about himself he has never shared with anyone…and also of their future. Coming to him many times during his stay, she reminds him that she cannot reveal everything “as they have to stick to the plan.”
Past, present, and future intertwine in a braid that is stronger than either will know until the end—or is it the beginning?
The whole time I am reading it, I am saying to myself, “It can’t be!” He does a dang good job of putting in the breadcrumbs where you least expect it, leading you on like the Little Red Hen to the very last word. I think it could be considered YA, NA, and Adult. There are racey scenes and some profanity, which without would not be realistic nor further the plot.
