JoeyPinkney.com Exclusive Sneak Peek of Room 111 by Michael McGrew and Kiesah Hakeem

“Author are the new Rock Stars” – This is a mantra that author Michael McGrew is living by as he grows his brand with his newest book Room 111 (Legacy Publishing).

Written in collaboration with Grammy-award-winning songwriter Kiesah Hakeem, this novel peels back the glitz and glamor of the music industry and sheds light on a spiritually dark and currupt undercurrent using the main character, Raquan “Grey” Taylor, as the center piece.

The music industry is a beautiful as it is deadly. Room 111 will allow you to make sense of the fire and desire Raquan has for music, but this book will also materialize those forces that are shrouded in mystery. The Devil and The Illuminati may be alive and well in the music industry.

Read the excerpt and buy this book before it gets banned by those who don’t want to get exposed.

Michael Meyer, author of Covert Dreams
(Amazon Kindle)

Is the mysterious disappearance of an American in today’s Saudi Arabia somehow linked to a terrible murder in Munich back in 1984? Is B.J. living a nightmare, or is it reality? How can he dream the same dream night after night and know intimate details of Munich, a city in which he has never been? How can he speak German in his dream, a language he does not know? Why does everybody think he is losing it? Is he going crazy?

How can a woman suddenly disappear in the Saudi Arabian heat, along with every trace of her very existence? Why is there absolutely nothing, not one single detail in any records anywhere, to prove that she is indeed a living person and that her spouse is not crazy for thinking so? Why do both the American government officials and the Saudi Arabia authorities insist that she has never even existed?

What is real, and what is not? Who is really who, and why? What is behind the murder, the kidnappings, and the nightmares all leading up to what end? The mounting suspense moves from Munich, to London, to Rome, and to the burning sands of Saudi Arabia. What is the horrifying link between these two alternating stories?

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write Covert Dreams?

Michael Meyer: I love a good mystery. I like to be thrilled. There are few locales in the world more mysterious than Saudi Arabia. In addition, Munich Continue reading 5 Minutes, 5 Questions With… Michael Meyer, author of Covert Dreams →

You talk to someone about Lucifer, and you already know what they’re thinking: he’s the Devil, Satan, Prince of Darkness, whatever. Truth is he wasn’t always bad; he didn’t start out like that.

In the beginning, he was spectacular, and the Father loved him. But he made a mistake: he got jealous and ungrateful, and then he got defiant. He forced the Father’s hand and all his efforts to make it right only made matters worse. He started a rebellion and a civil war. He broke the Father’s heart.

I figured I’d let him tell it.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write The Road to Hell?

Christopher C. Starr: This is an old idea for me. I’ve always been fascinated with this story, the fall of Lucifer. The idea was captivating—how Continue reading 5 Minutes, 5 Questions With… Christopher C. Starr, author of The Road to Hell →
