Sadie's Guide to Catching Killers

A Twisted Novella

Author: Zane Sachs

AVAILABLE at Amazon


Sadie may seem like the girl next door--but she isn't. At age eight, when she finds Mommy in the bathtub floating in a pool of blood, Sadie becomes obsessed with murder. Sadie's Guide to Catching Killers is the prekill to Sadie the Sadist: X-tremely Black Humor/Horror, delving into Sadie's twisted childhood to unravel what makes her the psycho we know and love. The uncut version--the story you've got in your hot little hands (X-cept for those of you who happen to be whacking off) is NOT as violent and psycho-sexual as Sadie the Sadist, but remember (sick puppies) Sadie is a child and a teenager here, not yet a full blown psychopath like us. (If you're not fully blown, put down this book and pick up the R rated version.) Advice from L'il Sadie, Self-Help BONUS: 10 Signs Someone is a Low-Life Liar; 10 Ways to Your Dream Confession; 10 Useful Household Poisons, and more! Note: This novella contains sexuality and insanity that some may find offensive ... please don't read this book unless you're twisted ... you MAY be safe reading the cut version.

Author Description:
Zané Sachs is the deranged twin of author, Suzanne Tyrpak. She has worked for several large corporations (including a supermarket), and those situations have, in part, inspired Sadie the Sadist. Sadly, she has found, that the current work environment in the U.S. often treats workers as expendable units, comparable to robots. Every day automated systems and machines are replacing human workers. Zané expects to be replaced by a robot any minute.

Like her characters, Sadie and Jayne, Zané grew up in New York and later ran away to the wild west. She visits the city whenever she can to hang out with friends, eat incredible food, and enjoy the stimulation of a city filled with psychopaths.

Perhaps, one day soon, the perfect novel will be written by artificial intelligence. Until then, Zané offers you her flawed perspective and hopes you find it entertaining.

Zané wrote Sadie's Guide to Catching Killers, because readers demanded information regarding Sadie's bizarre childhood. She is currently writing a novel of psychological suspense called Jayne Just Watches. Jayne believes that she is dead, and she happens to be Sadie's neighbor.

For Sadie's deadly recipes, guest inQuistions, and useful tips on topics like the Pros and Cons of killing your boss, please visit Zané's blog, Zané Sachs-Going Down, at ZaneSachs.com


Food Of Love

A Comedy about Friendship, Chocolate, and a Small Nuclear Bomb

Author: Anne R. Allen

AVAILABLE at Amazon


Part thriller and part screwball romantic comedy, Food of Love tells the story of Regina, a former supermodel, now princess of a tiny European principality, who has lost her skeletal figure and finds herself threatened by an unknown assassin.

Fearing her royal husband wants to kill her now that she’s not model-thin, she seeks protection from her estranged African-American foster sister, conservative Christian television pundit, Rev. Cady Stanton.

Reverend Cady has some serious weight and romantic issues of her own, compounded when an “accident” intended for Regina leaves her temporarily blind. But when Regina is declared dead and Cady’s seventy-year old secretary is wrongly arrested for smuggling a small nuclear bomb to the funeral, Cady takes control.

With the help of a porn mogul, a Russian spy, a rap diva and her fierce hairdresser-girlfriend, Cady is able to save Regina, restore the bomb to its proper owners, and unearth the long-buried family secrets that hold the key to her own happiness.

Food of Love has all the classic elements of comedy thriller and believable farce that have become the hallmark of an Anne R. Allen novel. Beneath its roller-coaster plot and comic exterior, the story addresses complex issues about body image, ethnicity, religion and a woman’s right to choose.
