Part memoir, part explosive window into the mind of a catfisher, a thrilling personal account of three women coming face-to-face with an internet predator and teaming up to expose them - now in paperback. In 2011, three successful and highly educated women fell head over heels for the brilliant and charming Ethan Schuman. Unbeknownst to the others, each exchanged countless messages with Ethan, staying up late into the evenings to deepen their connections with this fascinating man. His detailed excuses about broken webcams and complicated international calling plans seemed believable, as did last minute trip cancellations. After all, why would he lie? Ethan wasn't after money - he never convinced his marks to shell out thousands of dollars for some imagined crisis. Rather, he ensnared these women in a web of intense emotional intimacy. After the trio independently began to question inconsistencies in their new flame's stories, they managed to find one another and uncover a greater deception than they could've ever imagined. As Anna Akbari and the women untangled their catfish's web, they found other victims and realized that without a proper crime, there was no legal reason for "Ethan" to ever stop.THERE IS NO ETHAN catalogues Akbari's experience as both victim and observer. By looking at the bigger picture of where these stories unfold - a world where technology mediates our relationships; where words and images are easily manipulated; and where truth, reality, and identity have become slippery terms - Akbari gives a page-turning and riveting examination of why stories like Ethan's matter for us all.

Centuries before Delaney's fight, a brave group of women stood against the darkness-and paid the ultimate price. The fight to defend the world from the Fallen didn't begin with Delaney, it began centuries ago.

But they underestimated the reach of their enemies. When it comes to the Fallen, no place is ever truly safe. With heart-pounding action, rich historical intrigue and earth-shattering stakes, The Belial Witches is a must-read for fans of James Rollins, Clive Cussler and Dan Brown. ___________________________________________________Praise for the Belial series: ? ? ? ? ? Wow!

Could Delaney's Past Hold the Key to Humanity's Future? The world knows the legend of Helen of Troy, but not her story. Even the name by which she is remembered is not her true title. She was Helen, Queen of Sparta-and much more than a pretty face. Delaney McPhearson has been branded a public pariah. Barely escaping from Colorado with her life, she owes her survival to one man: Drake-a flamboyant Las Vegas entertainer, sabbatical-taking archangel and self-proclaimed consummate egoist. But Drake's help comes at a cost. He has his own agenda, and for Laney to move forward, she must first delve into her past-she must remember her life as Helen of Troy. For centuries, the world has misunderstood Helen. Cults celebrated her long before Homer immortalized her in The Iliad as the woman who abandoned her family and kingdom for love. But as with so many figures from history, her true story is far more complex. Now, the time has come for the most maligned woman in history to tell her side of the story. And as Laney begins to uncover the truth, she discovers that Helen's life-and her own-are more intertwined than she ever imagined. With heart-pounding action and earth-shattering stakes, The Belial Warrior is an unforgettable ride. If you love thrillers packed with ancient mysteries, explosive twists and relentless suspense, this is a must-read.  ____________________________________________ Praise for the Belial series: ? ? ? ? ?

An ancient power stirs. A shadowed threat rises. And Laney's greatest battle is yet to come. Delaney McPhearson has faced danger after danger. With every battle, she's lost more than she thought she could bear. But there is always more to lose. For the first time, Laney has fully embraced who she is and what's expected of her. She's ready to face whatever her destiny demands. But as she steels herself for the challenges ahead, another power begins to rise from the shadows with a plan entirely of its own. A plan with worldwide consequences. A plan that could lead Laney to her ultimate undoing. With heart-pounding action and earth-shattering stakes, The Belial Guard is an unforgettable ride.

And they're not distinguishing between good and evil. Laney's desperate quest to stop the murders takes her across the Pacific and plunges her into humanity's dark past, to a time when human sacrifices were commonplace.
