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

The eastern horizon lay flat and uninterrupted above the dashboard in shades of salmon, puce, and deep blue. They had been driving all night, but no one was sleeping. Too tired to talk anymore, Nick and Sarah scanned the sameness of the landscape, north and south, respectively.


Zacchaeus had set them down just beyond the police cordon, next to an aging SUV. Sarah’s eyes were wide and her movements spastic. She did not speak, even to acknowledge Zacchaeus’ request:


“Ms. Humphreys, would you do us the honor of driving? I’m afraid that Mr. Assencio’s and my respective aspects might draw more attention than we would like. I can give you directions as we go, but you can start by heading eastbound - that’s right - on Overidge road.”


She had nodded and taken the keys. Up to that point, Nick had tried to meet her eyes several times, but she just wouldn’t look at him.
