This morning, I am joining the cover reveal for contemporary romance novel Kennedy Sloane Gets Scooped by Caila Klaiss! Check out the cover, learn about the book and connect with the author!  

Date Published: November 6th, 2025

Publisher: Acorn Publishing

On a rainy Manhattan afternoon, career-obsessed writer and news producer Kennedy loses the interview that was guaranteed to catapult her to senior producer status. Hours later, revered and feared book editor Muffin Evans, aka the Manuscript Eater, shelves the publication of her promising debut novel. 

Over a night of tears and too many glasses of wine, Kennedy responds to an internet ad for a villa on the picturesque island of Hilton Head. She books a five-week “hiatus from life,” to focus on herself, free from distractions. 

However, soon after arriving on the island, J.P. Long catches Kennedy’s hesitant eye. Despite a series of serendipitous encounters around the romantic oasis, Kennedy knows there’s no room in her life for a charming professional golfer turned businessman who is battling his own personal and professional insecurities. 

But maybe he’s worth the trouble.

If there’s one thing Kennedy’s learned, it’s that life rarely happens as expected, and sometimes, the best stories unfold when you stop chasing the perfect headline.

If you make a deal with the Devil, don’t forget to read the fine print. 

Three operatives find themselves on the run after a corporate sabotage job goes awry. Now, their predatory employer, a heavyweight weapons-tech firm, wants its elite A-team dead at all costs.  Jon is a smooth-talking charmer. Friedrich is a hacker prodigy. And Guion is the ice-cold tactician who keeps them all in line.

Backs against the wall, the men strike separate infernal pacts to stay alive. They vanish into the urban badlands of New York’s Five Hives, vowing to lie low and figure out why they’ve become targets. Meanwhile, Jon suspects there’s an insidious evil possessing his friends, and he wonders if they all got more than they bargained for. 

Amid an escalating war between local gangs and the firm’s private shock troops, the fugitives uncover a conspiracy that threatens to destroy everyone they know and love. But can they stop the destruction before their inner demons seize control?

About the Author

At the age of four, Russell Anders started telling stories, often interrupting his mother during bedtime reading to ask, “Then what happened?” She always answered, “You tell me,” and his imagination conjured fantastical tales of dragons and dinosaurs.

He gravitated toward a career as a technical writer and writing coach for software companies. He also briefly served as a columnist for Dragon Magazine. One of his favorite hobbies includes tabletop role playing, especially as the game master. And yes, he's as cruel to the characters in his games as he is to the characters in his books; his players love him for it. 

Russel lives with the constant canine companionship of whip-smart but goofy Sigurd, an English Mastiff (the best breed ever).   

Daemones ex Machina is his debut novel.

How does a young woman cope when she cannot speak the truth?

When nineteen-year-old Lenore experiences sexual assault while studying abroad in Italy, her entire world shifts. Survival becomes the focus of her daily life, physical illness grabs control of her body, and no one can free her from her pain. A ghost of herself, she takes the path of denial, believing it’s the only way to protect her loved ones and herself from her harsh reality.

On her journey toward peace, she assumes the expected roles of mother and wife, but a traumatic diagnosis puts her at a crossroads. She must start living the life she wants or roam her days as a victim in the chaos of fear. Lenore’s escape through travel allows her to reconcile the imprisonment she’s suffered over the years.

However, when another family tragedy strikes, Lenore understands she must finally come to terms with the silence she’s kept. But what if one incident that happened decades ago is too destructive, too deep to be excavated? Will she be able to find herself in the rubble? Or will she be lost forever?

The Definitive Guide to Help New Physicians Start Their Career on the Right Path and Avoid Costly Mistakes

Non-Fiction (Medical, Memoir)

Date Published: March 18, 2025

Publisher: Elite Online Publishing

What every new physician needs to know now . . . and every practicing doctor wishes they had known.

The truth behind The Business of Medicine.

You’re at the end of a long journey that has brought you from a fledgling medical student with nothing but dreams and desire, through one of the most arduous courses of study known to mankind, to a place of relief, and . . . well, fear. As you begin this new chapter in your life, you will soon discover that your studies have made you book-smart. But sadly, you haven’t been exposed to the real world or the business side of medicine . . . until now.

In The Business of Medicine, Dr. Tung Giep lifts the veil of the healthcare industry to expose the underbelly that every new doctor needs to know to join a new practice and begin your career.

•         Are you clear on your career goals and career path?

•         What are the different malpractice insurances?

•         What are your employment options?

•         What questions should you ask during a job interview?

•         How do you assess the best compensation package?

•         What red flags should you look for before signing a contract?

•         How do you get in and out of a contract if needed . . . or can you?

•         How do you negotiate your contract?

Packed with wisdom, guidance, and a healthy dose of humor, this book is the definitive guide to help new physicians navigate the complex landscape of the medical profession and emerge with far fewer bumps and bruises than they would otherwise.

 Dr. Tung Giep is a practicing neonatologist who has excelled in his specialty for more than thirty years. His background includes board certification in pediatrics and neonatal-perinatal medicine and over twenty-five years as a medical director in community hospitals. Dr. Giep founded and served as president of Newborn Intensive Care Specialists (NICS) for seventeen years, where he and his staff provided hospitals with 24/7 neonatology, pediatric hospitalists, and Maternal Fetal Medicine programs. In 2017, the company was sold to a national company.

His backstory as a refugee from Vietnam and eldest of four sons—all of whom followed in the footsteps of their physician father—is the story of a kid who, by no effort of his own, found himself in a family of physicians and a country of opportunity. He took that foundation and made his way in a profession that exposed him to the best and the worst of humanity. Here, he shares what he learned in hopes that his experiences will help others avoid some of the same mistakes and build a career—and possibly a business—to be proud of.

About the Author

 The son of a physician and the eldest of four boys who all grew up to become doctors, Dr. Tung Giep knew early on what his career path would look like. He always wanted to make a difference in the lives of patients and to help shape the future of the healthcare system. The experience of emigrating from Vietnam to the US after the Vietnam War strengthened his resolve and built a resilience that he has carried throughout his life and career.

Dr. Giep is a graduate of Wofford College in Spartanburg, SC. He received his medical degree and completed residency at The Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), then went on to complete his fellowship at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, MO. His background includes board certification in pediatrics and neonatal-perinatal medicine, a fellow with the American Academy of Pediatrics, and over twenty-five years serving as a medical director within community hospitals. He founded and served as the president of NICS, providing hospitals with 24/7 Level-2 and Level-3 NICU and pediatric hospitalist programs for seventeen years before the company was sold to a national company in 2017.

Throughout his career, he successfully developed and scaled neonatal programs from the ground up, providing innovative and quality-focused patient care and resulting in profitability and streamlined processes. Under his leadership, several underperforming nurseries have been transformed into high-performing and top producing units within a short turnaround time. Additionally, he has led the initiative to implement an innovative telemedicine program via Teledoc that provides clinicians 24/7 access to neonatologists, helping to avoid unnecessary transfers and provide more comprehensive care.

He is the Medical Director of Community Hospital Level-2 Nurseries for a Children’s Hospital-affiliated hospital, where he manages the development of the Neonatal Telemedicine Program. He credits much of his success to a diverse background that includes clinical, business, and financial expertise, along with his innate ability to cultivate meaningful relationships with both internal and external stakeholders. His focus on a collaborative and integrated approach to creating a seamless and best-in-class healthcare experience for all—with the patient and the families at the forefront—has been at the core of his entire career as a healthcare provider.

Dr. Giep lives in Houston, TX with his wife, Michelle and sons Sebastian and Benjamin, and enjoys travel, cooking, and keeping up with the latest technology developments in the medical field. He insists that writing this book has been one of the hardest things he has ever done in life.
