They saw what they never believed.
They all had something special,
That they first didn’t see.

The fight for survival is on


The Infected

by Perry Prete

Genre: Apocalyptic Horror



A rogue virus alters human DNA, causing a mutation which infects most of the world’s population. Those immune to the virus must survive any way they can, as the two groups fight for dominance. The infected mindlessly hunt at night, humans travel and forage for food during the day. Rumours have spread of an area free of the infected in the cold barren land permanently frozen in Northern Canada where the infected cannot survive.


A girl, alone and scared, is rescued by one of the infected, forming a bond that may change the course of how these two groups will live with each other.


As their unlikely friendship grows, she realizes that peace may be possible if others can learn to accept them. Until everything changes.

Perry Prete was born in Sudbury, Ontario 1962, the middle child of three. His father passed away in 1972, leaving only his mother and two siblings. His mother re-married years after, and they moved to a small town just outside Sudbury, where he completed grade school. He finished grades nine and part of grade ten at Ecole Secondaire Franco-Jeunesse before moving to London, Ontario, in 1976. He transferred to G.A. Wheable H.S. for the final two and a half years. For most of his high school years in London, he worked at McDonald's on Wellington Road. After graduating high school, Perry decided on a television career and went to Fanshawe College for Television Broadcasting and worked for CICI and CKNC, CTV and CBC affiliates for a short time in Sudbury. He moved back to London and worked for a few months before returning to Fanshawe for the Paramedic program, where he met his wife.

 After graduating from Paramedicine, he worked as a medic in St. Mary's, Stratford, London, and Windsor before relocating to Brockville, Ontario, in 1984 to work full-time as a Paramedic. While working as a Paramedic, he was injured in a stationary bike accident which put his arm in a cast, giving him the time he needed to write his first novel, "All Good Things." He wrote his second novel shortly after, "The More Things Change."

 In between novels, he briefly taught part of the Paramedic program at St. Lawrence College in Cornwall.

 Perry wrote the third novel in the series, "The Things That Matter Most," "Highway 7," "The Mind's Eye," and "The Infected." He has three unfinished novels and several completed works.

 Perry continues to work as a Paramedic for Leeds Grenville Paramedic Services. With over 40 years of experience and counting, those calls have provided ample material for his future books.

NEW from AMBER DAULTON Lost In His Spiderwebs

 

Blurb

Kidnapped by the enemy. Bought by the jefe. Will his smoldering touch thaw her frozen heart?

Rubén Lozano, the new leader of the Lozano Cartel, craves peace amidst a legacy of bloodshed and death. He never expected to find his ex-lover, Drina Cabrera, in the clutches of his vicious rivals. Her haunted eyes compel him to rescue her, but freeing her is another matter.

After five months of captivity, Drina trades one captor for another. Though she succumbs to Rubén’s masterful touch, the bittersweet memory of her daughter and the life she was stolen from is a constant wedge between them.

When Rubén’s darkest secret comes out, he will have to wash his hands in crimson. Will Drina let her king face the danger alone, or stand at his side as his cartel queen?

Book two in the dark romance series, the Lozano Cartel. All the books can be read as a standalone, but are part of an interconnected series.

Scenes featuring drug distribution, violence, kidnapping, and attempted sexual assault may be uncomfortable for some readers.

No cheating. HEA guaranteed!

Excerpt

Drina inhaled the warm air. The vast canvas of glass, concrete, and steel spread toward the harsh, craggy desert where hazy mountains melded with the horizon. Rubén ruled his empire from one of the highest mountains in the area. Rather, the land was more of a gigantic, shrub-covered hill than a true mountain, the perfect vantage point for his citadel.

“Nice view.”

“Oh!” She whipped around and glared at Rubén. “Haven’t you heard of knocking?”

“Not in my own house.” He stuffed his key ring into his pants pocket and crossed the threshold. His mouth twitched up and revealed his dimple. “The doctor says you’re in excellent health. I want you desperate for me. So needy you will say or do anything I demand.”

Excellent health—good. Though if she had a disease, Rubén would probably keep his distance. She notched up her chin. “If I refuse?”

He seized the space between them and cupped her face.

“Stop.” She jerked away and twitched her nose. The irritating stench of cloves and menthol clung to his skin and clothes as though someone had smoked around him. “I’m not your property, no matter how much money you spend.”

“You’re more than that, Drina. You’re the only woman who has ever dumped me. Now, you will never escape me again.”

She gulped, trapped between her captor and the balcony rail. If he tossed her over, the fall probably wouldn’t kill her as long as she didn’t land on a cactus or tumble down the hill. The breeze whipped at her hair, carrying the fresh aroma of sun-heated earth and desert flowers. Dogs barked from somewhere on the premises while the sounds of muted gunfire rent the air. The rumble of distant traffic reverberated in her ears.

As he stroked her blemished cheek, she bit her nails against her palms. “Why do you always touch the scarred one?”

“Because you’re a survivor. Strength turns me on,” he admitted. “When you’re ready, I want you to tell me everything that happened the night the Tronco de la Muertes grabbed you.”

“Why do you care?”

He feathered his thumb across her bottom lip. “You are mine—body and soul. Your history is mine to know.”

She swallowed hard. How would she escape this nightmare? She’d tried twice to flee the distribution center, and Soler’s thugs beat her for her efforts. Would Rubén order Calvillo or someone else to slap her around? Would he do it himself? The nuts, granola, and toast in her belly churned.

A hint of sadness dwelt in the bottomless pools of his hazel-green irises, the unusual shade a mirror to Sera’s. Then a shield fell over his face, hardening him into the beast of a man she didn’t know. Didn’t want to know. “Rubén, I—”

“No words. Kiss me.”

Historical Fiction

Date Published: September 14, 2025



Old Books and Faded Dreams transports readers on a nostalgic journey with the townspeople of Tilden, a quaint community in Madison County, Nebraska. At the center of the heartwarming story is Maggie Davis, a middle-aged widow and heiress to a grand Victorian estate. The stately home, which Maggie shares with her spunky nine-year-old daughter Jenna, also serves as a bed-and-breakfast to a once regular, but now transitory, clientele. The kitchen table is the epicenter of lively, often contentious, conversation where no topics are off-limits. Maggie's out-spoken, spinster neighbor delights in keeping everyone on guard with her opinionated, prejudicial tirades, but she is frequently reined in by an elderly, equally forthright family member who has recently become a permanent dweller at the manor. Maggie finds herself struggling with the painful memories of her husband's tragic death, as well as the stirrings in her heart associated with a new house guest. A scandalous scheme to swindle Maggie out of her inherited property rides on the heels of a sudden, unexpected death, pointing to a member of the family as suspect. The startling discovery of a sinister family secret locked away for decades in an old attic trunk threatens to overshadow a highly esteemed familial image and cherished legacy. Can relationships be salvaged? Old Books and Faded Dreams is a captivating, small-town tale about friendship, grief, reconciliation and ultimately, unconditional love.

The Discovery of Magic

The Intrigue of Magic Book 1


A world ruled by magic. A palace full of secrets. A girl who refuses to back down.

Seventeen-year-old Alice Harper had her future mapped out—win an archery scholarship, protect her friends, and stay in control. But when a portal hurls her into a kingdom where magic rules and obedience means survival, she lands in a palace gripped by fear—and under the eye of the most powerful man in the realm.

The Royal Mage doesn’t just control the court—he controls people. With power, with fear, with enchantments no one dares resist. And for reasons Alice can’t explain, he’s taken a disturbing interest in her.

The only person who seems to want to help is the prince. He’s charming, clever—and very possibly lying. Caught between dangerous truths and beautiful deceits, Alice must decide who to trust before her friends are lost forever.

She’s not afraid of a fight. But in a world where magic is control, and trust is the most dangerous choice of all, surviving will take more than arrows—it will take everything she’s got.

The Discovery of Magic is the thrilling first book in The Intrigue of Magic, a YA epic fantasy series perfect for fans of court intrigue, character-driven fantasy, and bold heroines who don’t just survive—they fight for each other.

Buy The Discovery of Magic today to enter a world where freedom is fragile—and every alliance comes at a cost.
