No crime against a child is better than the other. When a child is hurt-it's like a stone that is thrown in a pond-it has a ripple effect. In some cases those ripples become tidal waves on a path of destruction. Shortly after Christmas there was a news story in my home state of Indiana, of the abduction and murder of a little girl who wasn't big as nothing. The little girl was being babysat by a "trusted" family friend in a trailer park known for sex offenders. This little girl who had some developmental and mental problems was bashed in the head with a brick until dead and then had her body dismembered by a monster. A man with a smile and the pretense of sincere affection sought out this little girl and then the unthinkable happened-she was killed. Can you fathom it-imagine what it would feel like to have a brick upside your head and be so little? Too little to fight back, too little to understand why? Too little to do anything other than cry and beg. She probably still had Christmas candy she hadn't gotten to and toys waiting for her at home. There's a doll that probably won't get played with and a new out fit that will not ever be worn by her.
This happens too much and IT NEEDS TO STOP! States need to get stricter on pedophiles and sexual violent offenders! PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW WHO IS LIVING IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD, TRAILER PARK, AND APARTMENT COMPLEX! PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY "NO" TO A POTENTIAL HOUSING APPLICANT BECAUSE THEY ARE A SEXUAL PREDATOR OR VIOLENT OFFENDER! Sex offenders should not be living near families and children. It's like putting an heroin addict in a room full of opium. It's argued that once these felons serve their time they are guaranteed rights. WHAT ABOUT THE RIGHTS OF OUR CHILDREN? Some of the blame has to fall on the parents here...but had this man had to disclose what he was or what he had been arrested for-would he have still been such a trusted friend? The mother's own father was a pedophile and she still moved in to take care of him with her babies. Now she is paying the price for her good deed towards her ailing father.
Folks-YOUR CHILDREN ARE YOUR MOST PRIZED POSSESSION! YOU ARE THE ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR PROTECTION AND WELFARE-NO ONE ELSE! WHILE THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO PUT STRICTER LAWS IF NOT MAKE CRIMES LIKE THESE MANDATORY LIFE SENTENCES, THE JOB OF CARING FOR YOUR KIDS SICK OR WELL IS YOURS! WHEN YOU SEEK OUT CHILD CARE-YOU NEED TO BE VIGILANTE AND WELL VERSED IN THE PERSON YOU LEAVE THEM WITH! NO ONE SHOULD EVER HAVE TO BURY THEIR OWN CHILD AND NO CHILD SHOULD HAVE TO LIVE WITH BEING ABUSED WHEN IT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED! THERE IS NO EXCUSE HERE-NOT EVERYONE IS A PERVERT OR MENTALLY ILL WITH A PEDOPHILIA OBSESSION-BUT YOU NEED TO BE TO THE POINT OF PARANOID WHO YOU LEAVE YOUR BABIES WITH!
FELLOW HOOSIERS-
THERE IS A PETITION GOING AROUND FACEBOOK AND TWITTER. I ASK THAT YOU SIGN IT AND EVEN WRITE THE LOCAL LAW AND TELL THEM THEY NEED TO STEP IT UP WHEN IT COMES TO THE SAFETY OF CHILDREN.
Thank You.

Exerpts from Lost To The Night:
"There are more mysteries walking beside us in this world than we will ever suspect or know. For some, the greatest fears are also the sweetest thrills. Death walks among us, the unknown feeds our imaginations and fuels our dreams and our nightmares. In this collection of stories from a group of exceptional and talented authors, we'll look into the shadows, and shiver with fright and passion, until we are Lost To The Night. and all its magic."
PRINCE OF SHADOWS by Brigit Aine
His wild hair, sections falling around his face, the blue tattoo continuously swirling in a geometric pattern on his shoulder, revealed by the black tank top he wore, as if to show the world he didn't care who saw that he was a faerie vampire, one of very few left. But he was not just any faerie vampire, he was the Prince of Shadows.
She was not just any faerie either. She is The Returner. One who has not ever failed in a task given to her. Skills beyond those of just the regular fae. Sent by the King and Queen, despite not wanting to do her task, she will not fail.
Together they would need to release her from a promise to bind and Return him so that they could focus on finding the killer, out to destroy those who are both human and non. Someone who is out to frame them both.
THE BRUJA LIGERA by Kayden McLeod
Sorabella is a white witch-in hiding. She is used to the idea if her true identity comes out, she'll be shunned for being crazy, or worse. A risk she isn't willing to take. Until now. Her relationship with her boyfriend has gotten more serious than she's used to. They've moved in together, and Tyler still doesn't know about what Sorabella can do. She fears it's too late to tell him, and given he's closed minded to the entire subject of magic, doesn't make the situation any easier. But with an encounter with her old tormentor from high school-who happens to be Tyler's sister-everything is revealed to the wrong people. Now, she has no choice but to come clean with Tyler, and face the music. Good or bad.
NIGHT LESSONS by Nikki Noffsinger
Dante Notte is the hottest night class professor ever! It's not hard to see why all the ladies are so crazy about English Lit. Dante doesn't seem to mind a bit, he's rather enjoying it.
Ariel Mathias doesn't have the time for a love life or much of anything else for that matter. She likes her solitude and her world in a neat order. She's all about hitting the books and fighting off her best friend's attempts at horrible blind dates, until she meets up with the poster boy for sin when she enters Professor Notte's class.
Dante, being a vampire, has seen it all and has been with hundreds of women and none of them has perplexed him or posed such a beautiful challenge as his little bookworm, Ariel Mathias. There's a woman waiting to be unlocked, but there is something else too about Ariel. Dante has vowed come hell or fang, he will unravel this mystery and this woman...if only she doesn't stake him first!
ONE DARK MISSION by Sara Gonzales
Sergeant Belinda Beckett United States Marine Corps. intends to complete her mission. Their is nothing that will stop her not in her life or her death. The mission taking her on a wild ride with dark and mysterious males. The question is are the males in question good or bad? Is she to hunt them as per her orders or will she fall in to her own trap?
THAT WHICH BINDS US by Denysé Bridger
Forever bound to her vampire maker and master, Jayelle Sinclaire has made a break for freedom. She recognizes the obsessive and sometimes twisted bonds that keep her heart and soul in a tangled love that is entwined with DuBois's past, because it was why he turned her-to keep her with him throughout eternity. to undo the mistake he'd made when he let her die in another time and place. Fate was not yet through with either of them, though, and other errors in judgement might yet destroy the ties that bind them. Then there is DuBois himself, and his penchant for destruction of all who love him.
So what are you waiting for? Lost To The Night is in E-book format and would be a great gift for the holidays. Kindle and most E-Readers will display not only the beautiful cover art by XOXO Publishing's very own Kayden Mcleod, also a featured author, but will also display the book in a professional format that will enhance your reading experience.
