Synopsis:
Edwin Allen Mercer
I want them all to read my words. And they do. Every last blood-stained sentence, they've read and praised me for. They love the gore and violence, the realness. And I get a sense of power with it all because I know a secret: the victims in my books—they’re real and have all died on my table. And maybe that’s why the last book had such awful reviews. Murder is, after all, a dirty little thing. Some can stomach it. Others can’t. My answer to those reviews: find a woman to co-author with. To be the next pathetic character in my book. Pity she’s so pretty.
Miranda Cross
All I’ve ever wanted was to be successful as a writer so when I was offered the opportunity to co-author a book with my idol, EA Mercer, I jumped at the chance. He’s beautiful and a literary genius, but something about him makes my stomach knot. And maybe it’s my overactive imagination making my hairs stand on end when he walks up behind me.
After all, these wicked little words we’re typing are only fiction. They’re only fiction...

AMIE'S 5 STAR REVIEW
This is one of those stories I would have read straight through if I didn't have anywhere to be !! Sadly I had to put it down and be social BUT WOW what a twisted and sick read !! I have to say of all the crazy stories I have read so far I have only cringed from a couple authors but now after this - yeah I may have cringed A LOT. How does one go about reviewing this ?? The plot is amazing - the hermit author who writes gritty and raw murder/suspense stories - the college writing student who wins his contest to co-author with him - the detective searching not only for his sister's murderer but it seems as if they have a serial killer on their hands. How do these characters all intertwine and when will their truths be revealed ?? OMG you have to read to find out !! Love the multiple POV's -
Edwin is typical for a hermit author , kind of weird , moody and likes to be secluded in his cabin. His right hand woman Janine handles most of his social and business needs while he pumps out the stories !! With some less than stellar reviews on his last book they decide to run a contest to find a female student worthy to write along side him to help soften up his mayhem and gore !! Miranda , our college writing student , has a brilliant plan for this , I honestly wasn't sure how much she could possibly soften this author's work , she seemed just as intense as Edwin !! Add to that she is also just as awkward and you have a match made in crazy !! With only Janine to give her a break from the cabin when needed we get to know Janine as well. During these times out of the woods Miranda runs into Jackson , the hot detective searching for justice. They too have some awkward interactions that quickly turn heated and intense !! You can only imagine how weird this little author/detective triangle is. Ironically both Jackson and Miranda love Edwin's work so it seems a bit of fate has stepped in for them all to now be connected. Just how connected and twisted will they get before the story ends ?? I honestly didn't see that coming !! I was reading along thinking this whole plot and story was genius and then they go and throw that in - WOW HOLY CRAP !! I mean really I was a bit scared to continue on once things fell into place. BE PREPARED for some sick stuff and some really graphic details , not for the weak stomachs !! This pairing of authors was phenomenal and I don't know if they could ever top this together but I am hoping they may try again !!!!!!!

BT Urruela is a combat wounded amputee, Purple Heart recipient, contemporary author who has written both independent and traditionally published books. He is a RARE under 40 award recipient, Rockwood Summit High School and Rockwood School District Hall of Fame inductee, Co-founder and Brand Ambassador for VETSports, Ambassador for Tampa Sports Academy, People Magazine Tribute for Heroes winner, Cover Model, Motivational Speaker and Philanthropist.
At an early age, he began writing short stories having been inspired by reading books authored by RL Stein. His maternal grandmother’s bookshelf was filled with literature that inspired his young mind and cultivated his vivid imagination.
Upon graduation from high school, his desire to have a 20-year military career was cut drastically short by an improvised explosive device. Taking the life of his commander, and leaving the remaining four-team members badly wounded.
After careful consideration and multiple surgeries, he along with the guidance of his doctors made the decision to amputate. It was the only surgery he ever left with a smile on his face, as if a weight had been lifted. He struggled for two more years through 4-5 hours of physical therapy a day, five days a week to get adapted to his new prosthetic. He medically retired from the Army with high hopes. His focus on restoring his physical shape being the most eminent battle caused him to neglect his psychological state.
Meeting people was difficult and there were very few options for veterans to utilize that would stimulate friendship, and ultimately, allow communication barriers to be breached. After moving to Tampa, Florida, he co-founded the veteran community sports nonprofit, VETSports, with two other combat wounded veterans. It was their mission to change the way veterans transitioned back to civilian life through organized team sports, community involvement, and leadership opportunities.
After being invited to attend a photoshoot with acclaimed photographer Michael Stokes, he flew to California in December of 2014, with incredible excitement. His photos were so widely publicized that he soon gained exposure to the literary world like he had always dreamed of. That opportunity launched him into his present writing career. He co-wrote the novel 'A Lover's Lament with author KL Grayson. The following year he released first solo novel, 'Into the Nothing' and will be releasing Wicked Little Words with author Stevie J. Cole. He is now writing full-time.
