Newest Cover Design - 33 AD

Good day readers, writers, and the rest,

What do you get when you cross vampires with Jesus of Nazareth? You get David L. McAfee's 33 AD, a very unique look into the world of vampires and a speculative twist on the death of Jesus.

Congrats on the book, Dave! This creepy cover should definitely grab the attention of the public.

Adventure -- Rai Aren -- SECRET OF THE SANDS

For 12,000 years a dark and deadly secret has been hidden deep below the Great Sphinx of Giza. In present day Egypt, a frightening, yet awe-inspiring story unravels as archaeologists race against time to decipher an ancient truth...

Secret of the Sands is a mystery novel and an adventure novel that combines alternate historical fiction & speculative sci-fi to explore ancient Egypt and the mysterious Great Sphinx of Giza

SECRET OF THE SANDS is an Indiana Jones type of story where the reader is treated to two adventures-in-one as it weaves back and forth between a royal family with a potentially deadly secret in ancient Egypt and the adventures of a couple of modern-day archaeologists on a mission to uncover an amazing artifact that could change the world!

(Secret of the Sands is a little bit like mixing INDIANA JONES + THE MUMMY + NATIONAL TREASURE)

Updated CharlesColley.com

Hey folks,

I just wanted to invite you to see the newest masterpiece that Charles Colley and Find the Axis have put together. We added a few more pages, edited some text, and put up more images for your viewing pleasure. He was a gentleman, scholar... and comedian!


Charles is also the author of SISTERBABY'S MONKEY, and has received some rave reviews from authors, news channels and reviewing websites. I urge you to pick up a copy if you don't have it already - it's a great read that you won't be disappointed with. He also is donating proceeds from his book to a great cause, so help him reach his goal. You can find his book at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

If you are a fan of Charles, you must know that he has a Facebook page... if not, tell him we sent you.

Have you read SISTERBABY'S MONKEY? We would love to see a review of it here.

Thanks for your participation.
