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

Eliza looked at the bus stop, sporting a Mark Duquesne ad, as they pulled away from Lukas’ garage. “Life is Power” was prominently displayed to the left of the man’s face. He was clean shaven and had long, dark hair, probably, Eliza reasoned, meant to conjure images of caucasian Jesus from old illustrations. There were a few people waiting for the bus in the cold. Their happy chatter didn’t betray any upset at having to wait for a bus. She’d argued for taking public transit because it was so close to Lukas’ Pilsen townhouse. After all, why drive if someone might see his car and ask questions?


“I’ve been here a lot of Saturdays recently. Odds are good that we aren’t even going to see anyone,” said Lukas. “There are guards, but they’re mostly around the perimeter of the restricted area. I have a special elevator key.”
