Surrendering her life to copywriting for the biotech wing of a multinational corporation was not what Eliza Latimer had had in mind for herself when she graduated from college with a degree in English. Seized by a sudden impulse to defy her fate, she sends a series of incendiary e-mails to the higher echelons of the company. Eliza is certain that she will be fired. But, why would a huge corporation like Monte Salute bring one of its lowliest employees upstate to meet the gorgeous sole heir and owner, if he was just going to fire her? Alessandro Neroni has a secret that Eliza is about to find out. But, she has a secret of her own.
On the other side of the country, Nick Assenzio was working with a team of physicists on the verge of a revolutionary break-through. His life is plunged into disarray when he is implicated in a terrorist plot and must run from a fate worse than death. With his world turned completely upside down, Nick must ally himself with an alcoholic, chain-smoking, semi-immortal magician named Beau.
How will a shadowy religious cabal, an extradimensional bar, the scientific manifestation of hell, werewolves, vampires, and things that go bump in the night eventually weave the fabric Eliza's destiny to Nick's? Who will survive? Can they, along with their unlikely allies, save the world from the Pandemonium Dream? Drink Deeply is created by Emile Bienert, an eGlobal Creative Publishing Signed Author.

Drink Deeply

Alessandro was cackling. Eliza cursed herself for being upset that she’d spit wine onto whatever it had hit. She needed to be angry at him for what he had suggested, not feeling bad about something that didn’t matter at all - certainly not to him.


“You’ll-” sputtered Alessandro, “You’ll need more wine. I see yours is elsewhere.” He was still chuckling. Eliza’s head was spinning. Should she be mad? Was he joking? He was joking. He was making fun of her. Alessandro hadn’t been taking her seriously. How could he? He was a billionaire vampire. Life had no consequences for him. This was a man who did not know how to take things seriously.


He poured her more wine. Her fury returned, but she checked it. Being furious about something that this man was using to toy with her felt like a defeat. She could laugh. Even if it hadn’t been funny.
