Maman’s Escape from Iran

One woman’s escape. One family’s fight for freedom. One true story that reveals the human cost of revolution.

Before the 1979 Iranian Revolution, Homa Iravanian lived a life filled with family, opportunity, and hope in a country that was rapidly modernizing. But as political unrest gave way to an authoritarian regime, everything she knew was stripped away.
By 1987, Homa was trapped alone in Iran.

Separated from her family and living under the constant threat of persecution, she faced an impossible reality. If she could not escape within months, she risked arrest, imprisonment, torture, and the loss of her future. What followed was a courageous journey fueled by determination, resilience, and an unwavering hope of reuniting with the people she loved.

Based on Homa’s personal journal and lovingly translated by her daughter, Mojgan Zargarian, Maman’s Escape from Iran is an intimate memoir that brings history to life through the eyes of one woman who lived it. Enhanced by Jessica Payne’s compelling storytelling, this remarkable account captures not only the political upheaval of post-revolutionary Iran, but also the universal themes of family, sacrifice, courage, and survival.

This historical memoir is a testament to the strength of women who refused to surrender hope, even in the face of oppression.
For readers of true stories, women’s history, Iranian history, and memoirs of resilience, Maman’s Escape from Iran offers an unforgettable glimpse into one family’s struggle for freedom and the enduring power of the human spirit.

Billionaire’s Plot Twist

Billionaire's Plot Twist

Every rule says hands off my curvy little office manager.
Until her manuscript lands in my inbox…
And I read every filthy fantasy she’s ever had.
About me.

She thinks I called her in to fire her.
She has no idea what I really want.

Because behind these designer suits and this billion-dollar empire,
I’m not the man she wrote.

I’m worse.

I run this city from the shadows.
I give orders that end careers—and lives.
I have no business touching something so soft.

But then she sits across from me,
green eyes wide, cheeks flushed, trembling—
and every rule I’ve ever lived by goes to hell.

So I make her an offer.

Finish the book. I’ll help with the research.

One session turns into another.
Then she’s in my bed, and I’m in too deep to stop.

There’s just one problem.

My sweet little writer is hiding something.
A name that isn’t hers.
A past she ran from.
A monster with a badge who’s hunting her—and her little boy.

Now he’s found her.
And he thinks he can hurt her.

He has no idea what I’m capable of.
No one hunts what’s mine.

She wrote me as the villain.
For everyone who threatens my family, I’m happy to prove her right. $0.99 on Kindle.

Space Vault: The Seed Eclipse (Sci-Fi Galaxy series Book 2)

Space Vault: The Seed Eclipse (Sci-Fi Galaxy series Book 2)
Space was supposed to be humanity’s salvation. But now, it may become our doom.

When competing forces vie to control human evolution, Teagan Ward is thrust into the heart of the conflict. Once a captive on the Moon, she was subjected to genetic experiments—but the true prize wasn’t her. It was her daughter, Diana, created to survive in deep space and lead a new breed of humanity.

Now the ruthless Consortium wants her back.

As Earth reels from climate collapse and food shortages, powerful forces converge to control ecosystems, genetic patents, and access to survival itself. Their prize: the Seed Vault, a lunar repository containing the last viable genetic codes for Earth’s crops, food supplies—and maybe humanity’s future.

But it’s not just humans who covet the Vault’s valuable contents.

Protests erupt. Alliances fracture. And Teagan, seeking refuge among the Tritans—an endangered alien species—must protect Diana at all costs.

Meanwhile, Professor Olga Polyakov, the scientist who made Diana possible, is under orders to recover the child before rival factions strike. But as conflict brews between ideologies, worlds, and species, one truth becomes clear: the war for tomorrow has already begun. And only one thing might shape the outcome—a mother’s love.

The vault is the code.
The eclipse is the signal.
The child is the key.

In a battle for survival, what remains of humanity may not be who we were—but who we choose to become.

From a dying Earth to the vastness of space, the fight to protect humanity’s future has begun and one question drives them all: how to protect what remains of human freedom.. $0.99 on Kindle.

If She Were Mine

If She Were Mine
AI-FREE! 100% organic author-created content. No artificial intelligence was used in the writing of this book.

If you enjoy stories about how love can win, despite terrible wrongs and extreme prejudice, this story is for you.

A star-crossed love, treachery, and a desire that will not be denied.

Briella Feher is in love, but not with her fiancé. Her father has exiled her from the sweeping plains of Montana to New York City “for her own safety,” commanding her to marry within her heritage and class. Raised in Indian Territory, Briella was shaped as much by the Pikuni—Blackfeet—people as by her aristocratic Hungarian family. Viewed as a cowgirl, Briella doesn’t fit in with society. Perhaps it’s the guns she wears strapped to her evening gowns. Her heart has always belonged to Red Fox, the Pikuni medicine man who taught her to survive on the prairie, the man who was her teacher, her first love. When James Maximillian III proposes—with the condition that he keep his mistress—Briella accepts, seeing his proposal as her only path back to Montana and to Red Fox.

Two years apart have not cooled the fire between Briella and Red Fox, yet his honor won’t allow him to claim this woman who is promised to another. With the escalation of the Indian/Cavalry wars, Red Fox believes distance is the only way to protect the woman he loves. Then a vision reveals a devastating truth: Briella’s fiancé is hiding a lie that could shatter every vow. It’s now up to Red Fox to find the truth.

But, time is running out and forces are aligned against them. Can Red Fox find the proof and expose the treachery in time to alter the ending of their Romeo and Juliet romance, or will he lose Briella forever in a romance destined for tragedy?

Warning: This is a forbidden love story—forbidden by both sets of parents–which begs the question: will the hero and heroine get a second chance at love? Set in the 1870’s, this sensual love story is sprinkled with paranormal, Native American style. But, if you love the old west as it was lived and loved by the First Americans, you’re going to love this story. $2.99 on Kindle.

The Shatterfield: They came to answer a knock. It was a lure. (The Thornbound Chronicles Book 3)
The realm answered a knock. Now it has to survive the door.

One winter after the storms began walking the eastern water, Elowen and Caelan do the one thing four hundred years of history was built to prevent: they sail east, past the wall, to find whoever has been calling. What they find is not a weapon. It is the people the realm’s own founders tried to erase — the Shadow line, exiled into a wasteland of glass, still alive, still holding a wall of their own against something far worse behind them.

And the glass is not neutral ground. It raises Elowen’s power to something she has never been, and terrifies her how much it feels like home. It strips Caelan of his Steel entirely, leaving the realm’s most powerful mage powerless on the exact ground his family shattered. And it wakes the Shadow in Aric all the way — the returned son, walking home to kin he never knew, to a wall his own oath swore him to keep them behind.

Three bloodlines, standing together on the glass for the first time in four centuries. The exact configuration the founders killed a whole court to prevent.

Because the thing in the deep of that broken country has been waiting four hundred years for the number to be three again — and it did not lure them across a sea to be stopped.

To save a people, a marriage, and a world, the three of them must answer the oldest question the realm ever buried: what does three do — and whose hand turns the key. Salvation or ruin. The same key, turned the same way. The difference is in the hand. $3.99 on Kindle.

Ancilla (The Magnum Opus Book 1)

 

See why so many critics and readers have been giving Ancilla four and five star reviews!

The early 1990s in decaying, rust-belt Ohio sets the stage for a powerful tale of a woman grappling with the confines of sexuality, religion, and societal expectations.

She had it all – riches, a college honors program scholarship, a girlfriend – until her conservative, hyper-religious parents found out about the girlfriend and made her choose between conversion therapy and disownment. That was the end of her academic career.

Now, three years later, she meets a shy public reference librarian in a bookstore. He’s been waiting his whole life for her. Meanwhile, she’s starting her whole life over.

What ensues between the two neurodivergent lovers is magic.

Given that he’s about to become her tutor in the magickal and erotic arts, that’s only to be expected.

But at what cost?

The mysterious older man is all she could ever have wished for, but she may need to choose between her developing identity and the most profound love she has ever known.

“Master, teach me. I want to apprentice myself.”

I can feel him trembling. Am I trembling too? I must be. My voice is. But all I feel is him.

“Is this something you really want, or do you just want to learn how to be a dominant?” Shaking. God, he’s shaking. His raw need rips through me. “You did mention your former girlfriend wanting you to play the dominant. I can advise you without actually asking anything of you if that’s the case. Or is this about that conversation we had a while back about studying magic –”

“If I only wanted advice, I’d ask for advice. I don’t just want advice. I want you. Master, teach me.”

I take a deep breath.

Silence falls.

“I want that very badly,” he says at last.

“I’m yours for the taking. Please. Take me.”

The room is still. Too still. The very air is holding its breath.

“Please.”

The only one trembling now is me.

Set against a mystical academic backdrop with richly developed characters and a love story that leaps off the book’s pages, this scorchingly hot but highly literary erotic coming-of-age story is like nothing you’ve ever read before.

Amo, amas, amat, amamus, amatis, amant.

“If sizzling romances are your jam, this is the book for you. Additionally, readers of literary fiction who love stimulating stories with philosophical and emotional themes at play will also find plenty to love about this novel. Sera Maddox Drake’s storytelling style is refreshingly unique and authentic.” – Pikasho Deka, Reader’s Favorite

“Magic and philosophy sandwiched in between some of the hottest scenes I’ve read in recent years… Loved it!” – Hannah Gonzalez, Reedsy Discovery

Stranded With The Grumpy Mermaid

I haven’t touched the ocean in five years. Now I’m stranded with the one man who makes me want to risk my heart—and dive back in.
All I brought to the AETHER telescope inauguration was a career-making talk, a blazer that says take me seriously, and a strict policy against fraternizing with men.

Then a storm takes our boat down, and I wash up on a deserted island with the one man I absolutely should not want: my boss.

Dr. Rafael Vasquez is tall, brilliant, and criminally cheerful. Famous astronomer. Baker of department-wide muffins. Maker of terrible puns even when we’re hungry, exhausted, and waiting for rescue. Somehow, he finds fresh water like the forest owes him a favor.

I haven’t shifted into my mermaid form or entered the ocean in five years. I’ve built a perfectly respectable human life around avoiding both, and falling for a relentlessly sunny man who sees straight through my defenses was definitely not part of the plan.

But deserted islands have a way of making rules feel less important.

Especially when we’re sharing one tiny cottage. One bed. His warmth. His laughter. And far too many nights beneath the stars.

The trouble is, eventually we’ll be rescued.

And back in the real world, Rafael is still my boss, my career is still hanging in the balance, and falling for him could complicate everything I’ve worked for.

So I only need to survive the island without falling in love.
