And what horrors does she bring? These are questions only the Green Lama can answer! Reintroducing the most unique Pulp Hero ever! In reality, The Green Lama is Jethro Dumont, a millionaire playboy who spent ten years in Tibet and now uses his Buddhist training to pursue Justice for those denied it! Can even the Green Lama, with his mastery of the supernatural and his radioactive salts, be enough to prevent the coming of... Scions?**Review"Adam Garcia has done something that hasn't been done. He has taken noir mashed it with super hero and threw in horror to create a concussion that drives you down the road of mystery. The writing is crisp, in that he gives us what we need to know and not much else. He also amps up the tension like turning on the power to a live wire. The book is not for the faint of heart, it is for those of you who want action, drama, a love story, tragedy, and horror all rolled into one. I for one recommend this book to all people who like to read over the age of 18."- Dan Roberston, exPress News & Reviews"If you've started your summer reading list and you're looking for a good horror story to add to it make sure to get the Green Lama: Scions." - Jess Kirby, exPress News & ReviewsFrom the AuthorFrom the Introduction The 1930s were dominated by pulp magazines. So named for their cheap paper, the pages between their luridly painted covers burst with tales of crime, adventure, and horror. Masked men battled evil, dolling out justice with highhanded morality and little regard for public safety. Much of what we now identify as superheroes--you may have heard of them--started within these pages of rip-roaring prose, formulaic plot, and minimal characterization. The Shadow, first born on the radio before making his way onto those cheap pulp pages, became a sensation. Amongst his litany of abilities, The Shadow could cloud men's minds, a power learned from his studies in the mystical realm of Tibet. Back then, Tibet was one of few remaining frontiers in the world and the public hungered for it. James Hilton's novel Lost Horizon flew off the shelves, and was soon adapted by Frank Capra into a film of the same name, introducing the world to the idea of Shangri-La. Meanwhile Theos Bernard, dubbing himself "the first white lama," returned from his travels in Tibet to teach the world of Buddhism and the foreign concept of tantric yoga. Back then, the word "lama" had power, a term so strange, so foreign, it showed that there was still some magic left in the world. It was within that world, The Green Lama was born. In 1939, Kendell Foster Crossen was commissioned by the Munsey Publishing Company to create a new hero for their pulp magazine Double Detective. This hero would rival The Shadow,The Spider, and the other costumed vigilantes running amok on newsstands. Under the pseudonym "Richard Foster," Crossen drew inspiration from various sources, and created not only one of the most unique heroes ever to grace prose, comics, and radio, but also the world's first Buddhist hero. Much like other pulp heroes of the time, The Green Lama had multiple secret identities and a massive supporting cast aiding him in his quest for justice. Unlike his many of contemporaries,The Green Lama *eschewed guns in favor of radioactive salts, magic, and sleight of hand. He rarely, if ever, killed his enemies. His tales also had an advanced sense of continuity, with characters growing and changing over time, plot points introduced in one story paying off several tales later.The Green Lama is a character of contradictions, driven forward by a faith he constantly betrays. It makes him flawed and imperfect, and in that way, perhaps the most human *of all pulp heroes. He epitomizes a lost era, when there was still wonder and mystery permeating the world, a time when there was still something fantastic to discover just over the horizon. What you're about to read is the first of many new Green Lama stories fully authorized by the Crossen Estate. These stories are meant to be a direct continuation of Crossen's stories, at times taking place before, between, or after the original fourteen. But if you're looking for a good place to start, you've found it here. Adam Lance GarciaSeptember 2, 2013 Views: 35

It can easily be enjoyed as a stand alone read. FROM REVIEWERS: 5 STARS "If you liked Baby Girl, you'll be blown away by Baby Girl II. This book has a totally different feel and tone then the first book. Erik and Kelli are still the main couple to watch. We now get a chance to really get to know Erik's brothers from his MC and to play catch up with Teddy aka Crash and Heather. Side note, I simply adored Teddy & Heather together, they made me smile! Oh, and I loved that crazy witch that pops up as well! I love the dual POV, I'm a nosey person by nature so knowing what Erik or Kelli was thinking made my day! It also stressed me out a little, Kelli just wants to please Erik and make him proud, any person who has the instinct to be a caregiver understands the personal pride in this act, but while Kelli is taking care of Erik she seems oblivious to his struggles with his commitment and trust issues towards her. My emotions where all over the place with how real this book felt, my heart really went out to Kelli at times. I can't possibility leave this review without mentioning the sex in this book, it really was a real cock coaster of a ride and the kitchen scene fanning myself really does put the abandon farm house scene to shame!!" - Deborah Clearwater Amazon/Goodreads (2000 ratings) NA Fiction, NA Romance, Adult Romance, Erotica, Alpha, Alpha male, D/s Dominance, Dominant, 50 Shades of Grey, Alpha male, MC, Motorcycle Club, submissive, Erik Ead, Kelli, Scott Hildreth, Baby Girl, Aching to Exhale, Craving Constellations, Safe with me, Unattainable, Heaven's Sinners, Hell's Knights , Holding On, Ride, Maybe This Time, New Adult Romance, New Adult Erotica, Baby Girl, by Amazon #1 Best Selling male Erotica author Scot Hildreth Views: 35
