Logic to the Rescue
by Kris Langman
What is it?
Logic to the Rescue is designed to teach kids critical thinking. A combination of fiction and non-fiction, it weaves examples of logical fallacies into a fictional sword-and-sorcery fantasy. Simple examples for testing a hypothesis and setting up experiments in chemistry and physics are integrated into the plot.
Who will it appeal to?
Kids ages 10 to 14, though adults who want to brush up on their knowledge of logical fallacies such as post hoc ergo propter hoc, ad hominem, and counting the hits may also enjoy the book.
Is it part of a series?
Yes, Logic to the Rescue is the first book in the series. The second book in the series is Castles and Chemistry.
Summary:
When Nikki Murrow lost her first High School debating match she did what anyone would do – she hid in a closet. She found comfort hiding among the mops and cleaning supplies, but she also found two imps – tiny creatures from a magical kingdom who lead her on a strange journey into the Realm of Reason.
There is Fuzz, an imp with a fondness for breaking the rules. And Athena, a model of impish manners, decorum and spotlessly clean clothes. Together they convince Nikki to join them in the battle against the king’s evil advisor, Maleficious.
In her debate class, Nikki learned the value of logic and reason, but who knew her ability to formulate a hypothesis would help a mud-splattered Knight redeem his tarnished reputation? Or that her knowledge of logical fallacies would rid the Realm’s Haunted Hills of ghosts?
Maleficious’s hold on the king is strong, but Nikki and the imps are determined that the Realm will not fall into his clutches. Will their mastery of logic rid the kingdom of the ignorance Maleficious is spreading, or will the inhabitants of the Realm fall back under the sway of centuries-old superstition?

DEAD MAN WALKING: A Journey from Mindset to Soulset
by Philip McKernan
We all strive to be successful in our businesses and lives, and rely on logical thinking when making decisions. However, most successful people, including Richard Branson, Oprah and Bill Gates, use intuitive thinking to make their best decisions and in fact attribute it to a big part of their success. We all have it within us, but here’s the problem: most people have ignored their intuition for years and are unable or afraid to tap into it.
In this book Philip will challenge our obsession with goal setting and creating the right Mindset, rather than cultivating the more intuitive internal guidance system to allow our lives to flow. He has created a way of living called Soulset.

Mighty Hammer Down (Legend of Reason Series)
by David J. Guyton
A longstanding peace is about to be shattered by villains in the shadows of Medora. They conspire with distant nations to cripple the western Empire and spread their venom eastward. In their secretive attempt, they stumble across the power to slay Arius, the god of war, and replace him with a human puppet. That mission fails however, and they not only pave the path for the seven gods to walk the earth, but create a god of war who is bent on their destruction. He clumsily learns to use his powers and hones them into a powerful weapon to wield against the Mages and their twisted vision of society. In the chaos, a great war ignites and threatens all nations and cultures.
Rommus has no idea that he has become the new god of war. He also has no idea that his companion Alana is responsible for the assassination attempt on his father, the General of the Medoran army. While the Medoran Legions head east to aid the Vindyri in their battle against the oppressive Bhoors, Rommus follows the visions he sees in his dreams, pulling him north towards the Land of the Gods. Along the way they meet a strange man named Vohl who claims to be immortal, and the three of them end up before the golden throne of the great god Oderion. But Rommus refuses to be like the uncaring gods, and quickly makes six very powerful enemies.
In all of this mayhem, the small flames of the old magic roar to mighty infernos; burning some and lighting the way for others. Great beasts now walk the earth again, and the gods themselves have come down to influence the world of man once more. But the new god of war is not interested in their agenda, and instead joins the battle on the Vindyri planes. He fights with all his might for the freedom of mankind, struggling to bring light to the coming darkness.

Three Steps to Enlightenment
by Gary Rutz
In a thirty year study of what was, what is and what shall be, Gary Rutz discovered the secrets to the universe, enlightenment and everlasting happiness. It is not so amazing really, because Rutz discovered what we all have within us. He listened to his own inner voice and trusted that the answers and were within him. After reading thousands of pages of history, philosophy, and critical thought, Rutz used a reductionist method to remove unnecessary complexity. Through accessible language and style, Rutz presents his discoveries in an easy to understand way.

Shit that Pisses Me Off
by Peg Tittle
Should you need a license in order to become a parent? What’s wrong with calling people Ms. and Mr.? Why is casual day at the office insulting? Why should you take down the flag? Is women’s fiction really women’s fiction? Should we have professional jurors? Why shouldn’t athletes take performance-enhancing drugs? Why should you boycott marriage? And let’s talk about the weather reportâ?¦
Philosophy with an attitude. Because the unexamined life is dangerous.

Beyond Religious Conflict
by Kim Michaels
This book is for people who are concerned about the increasing tensions between world religions and are open to a non-traditional view of religion and the cause of conflict. The book is written in an easy-to-read question-and-answer format, where the author asks questions that are answered – provocatively and surprisingly – by Jesus. However, this is not the Jesus portrayed by official Christianity but a spiritual being who is determined to expose how the fact that Christianity became a militant and exclusivist religion is in direct contradiction to his true teachings.
The book gives profound and thought-provoking teachings on a wide variety of topics related to religion and why religions clash. It explains the real, spiritual purpose behind religion and how this has been perverted by the human ego. The book explains why there are so many different religions and why only people who do not understand their own religion can see themselves as being in conflict with the followers of other religions.
The book also explains why most religious people and leaders are afraid of change, which means that only the people who normally stay away from the religious debate can bring an end to religious conflict. The book then outlines a non-violent approach to religion which can lead to co-existence without one religion eradicating all others. Finally the book comments profoundly on the relationship between religion and science and explains why a future society will have complete harmony between the two, each one being seen as a necessary aspect of a complete understanding of life.
Even for readers who cannot accept that the Jesus in this book is the actual Jesus, the book has such an abundance of profound and thought-provoking ideas that it is essential reading for all who want to make a contribution to religious tolerance and peaceful co-existence.

Migrations, Volume I : Don’t Forget to Breathe
by Ashim Shanker
“…he could imagine the Dust spiraling in corners, plotting en masse an elaborate offensive upon those who sought seclusion from the outside Universe. The Dust: it was older than Time, bound by its allegiance to the Tangible–to the very Physical Substance of creation– to make pointed attacks fueled by conspiracy upon its bitter rival, the amorphously-composed Intangible Will. This conflict, too, was older than time: one that had always existed and one that continues perpetually between the abstractions of Tangible Form and those of Intangible Will, the two locked in eternal combat for they could know no other state than to oppose the infringement of each upon the confines of the other. The tangible, however, was more resolved–more given to complicity–for without this, there was no hope of overcoming the tenacity of something so refined. Accordingly, there were many natures to such Dust, many inclinations that Bunnu was impelled to delineate–for the sake of convenience–by arbitrary color. For example, red dust, though it wasn’t truly red, came as a result of an incredible shift in gravitational force, perhaps from an explosion of a vast star in a distant galaxy. The particles of dust traveled and accumulated through void, attracting each to the other by sheer weight of their micro-gravities as they fused with hot gas to form masses, which would loom in stasis for many billions of years and later crumble to their constituents in vast explosions, sending each particle off again upon its own distinct immaculate trajectory. These particles carry with them their memories in aggregation of them with their associates and of their associates with their collection of foregone associates, allowing them by means of interconnecting social networks to seek old members of former almae matres (i.e. one particle of red dust recognizes another that he had once been fused together with to form a rock on the surface of a distant planet and seeks to relive old glories together. The particle, in question, however, is wedged between the teeth of a beached whale, and thus the alliance-seeking granule, must seek to merge with the whale itself in order for this reunion to become a reality)…”

Lord Rama: The Shelter for the Saints
by Krishna’s Mercy
“O Sita, those munis, who have taken to strict vows, living aggrieved in Dandaka-aranya have personally approached Me, who am a protector of the surrendered, and sought refuge.” (Lord Rama speaking to Sita Devi, Valmiki Ramayana, Aranya-kanda, 10.4)
The sages residing in the Dandaka forest were being harassed daily by the ogres ranging the night, those demons intent on thwarting the peaceful religious activities of the rishis given to asceticism and penance. Understanding that their only chance at safety and peace lay in the hands of the divine prince of Ayodhya, Shri Rama, the sages kindly petitioned that most humble, gentle, chivalrous, and capable of warriors to help save them from the attacks of the vile Rakshasas, the ogres given to black magic and illusion. Rama, wholly willing to provide for the protection of those dependent upon the administrative class of men, was ready to come to the aid of the ascetics, but before He could proceed any further, His beautiful, kind, and caring wife, Sita Devi, had a few concerns of her own. Knowing full well the nature of the attacking ogres and the innocence and exalted status of the sages in the Dandaka forest, Sita was still concerned that her husband, who had taken a vow to always abide by dharma, might take to unnecessary violence borne of anger and rage directed at the enemy. Not wanting her dear husband to even show a hint of unrighteousness, Sita kindly put her concerns before Rama.
Rama’s response to Sita’s kind inquiry is found in the famous Ramayana, an epic poem and classic text of the Vedic tradition. Rama, who is celebrated as a divine figure throughout the world, responded to Sita by firmly establishing His dedication to the welfare and protection of the saintly class of men. Lord Rama: The Shelter for the Saints consists of fifteen essays covering the different verses from the Ramayana that constituted Rama’s response to Sita. These descriptions cover a wide range of subjects, including spirituality, the divisions of work and spiritual institutions prescribed for man, the essence of human life, the temporary nature of life and death, the eternal wisdom of the Vedic teachings found in sacred texts like the Shrimad Bhagavatam and Bhagavad-gita, and much more.

How We Met: Sita Describing Her Marriage to Rama
by Krishna’s Mercy
“I have heard, O Sita, that your hand in marriage was won by the renowned Raghava on the occasion of the self-choice ceremony [svayamvara]. O Maithili, I wish to hear that story in detail. Therefore please narrate to me the entire sequence of events as you experienced them.” (Anasuya speaking to Sita Devi, Valmiki Ramayana, Ayodhya-kanda, 118.24-25)
Anasuya, the wife of the famous sage Atri, had the wonderful opportunity to host Sita Devi and her husband Lord Rama at her hermitage many thousands of years ago. For those familiar with Vedic traditions, Sita and Rama are known as two of the most celebrated divine figures, individuals worthy of eternal love, adoration, and respect. Yet for even those who are not acquainted with the events of the Ramayana, the incident of Sita and Anasuya’s meeting provides great insight into the innumerable issues, concerns, and worries that come up in this grand journey known as life. Though Anasuya was well-aware of the unique nature in which Sita and Rama’s marriage was arranged, she still made the most of the opportunity presented to her by asking Sita to give her own accounts of the marriage. How We Met consists of thirteen essays discussing the different verses found in the Ramayana of Valmiki that constituted Sita’s response to Anasuya. The essays cover a wide range of topics including marriage, romance, parenting, spirituality, the meaning of life, knowledge-acquiring processes, and most importantly, how one can go about achieving the highest transcendental pleasure, both in this life and the next.

In the Garden of Temptation (The Garden Series Book 1)
by Cynthia Wicklund
HONOR – Adam Stanford, Earl of Ashworth, has always done the right thing.
DESIRE – Lady Catherine Bourgeault, lonely and rejected, longs to experience passion, to love just once in her life.
TREACHERY – The Baron Bourgeault, to what extremes will an obsessive, unstable man go to achieve his own dark ends?
SEDUCTION – In the face of a love that will not be denied, Adam and Catherine risk everything to be together.
BETRAYAL – What price must Catherine and Adam pay for a forbidden love in a time when honor meant everything?
EXCERPT:
Catherine didn’t know if she wanted to tell Lord Ashworth about her retreat. She had come upon it not long after her marriage to Edgar, and it had offered her the only peace she was to know for a long time.
It was dangerous to share the only thing that belonged to one. Yet the thought of spending an afternoon with the earl in her most treasured place, sharing a leisurely meal, beckoned her. She glanced shyly over her shoulder to see if he still followed.
Lord Ashworth rode only a few yards behind her horse, and he grinned when their eyes met. He had a lazy, sensual smile and, when he looked at her like that, she felt an odd breathless catch in her throat. She wondered how it would feel if he were to place those warm lips to hers instead of the back of her hand.
Oh dear! There went that catch again.
Within moments they entered a clearing. Catherine dismounted without waiting for the earl’s assistance and swung her arms wide as she turned in a circle about the shaded copse.
“What do you think?” she asked.
The earl, still astride, cast his gaze slowly around the tiny glen as he studied the scenery. He then turned his attention to Catherine but did not speak. A suggestive grin broke the calm of his expression as he continued to watch her.
“More beautiful than I could have imagined,” he murmured.
Simple statement that, but it held a wealth of meaning. Catherine dropped her arms while staring back in fascination. Her mouth fell open and her breathing quickened. The air vibrated with unspoken words as they shared a moment of absolute understanding. The specter of desire had been brought into the open and was acknowledged.

Just Released: THIEF OF SOULS
Dark and sensual, Thief of Souls is one man’s battle with evil for the fate of his humanity. It is a modern vampire-esque romance, gothic in tone, with a twist on the “Beauty and the Beast” theme, for the beast’s ugliness resides on the inside rather than the outside, and his hope for redemption comes not from being loved by another but from discovering his own ability to love.

The Beckoning ice (Wiki Coffin Mysteries)
by Joan Druett
It is February 1839, and the ships of the United States Exploring Expedition are thrashing about dreaded Cape Horn, on their way to a rendezvous at Orange Harbor, Tierra del Fuego, on a crazy mission to be the first to find Antarctica. A sealing schooner hails the brig Swallow with a strange tale of a murdered corpse on an iceberg–surely a case for Wiki Coffin, half-Maori, half-Yankee “linguister,” who is the representative of American law and order with the fleet.
But circumstances are against him. As Wiki has been banished from the Swallow to the Peacock, where he is forced to battle racism in the wardroom, and vengeful sealers on the decks, the puzzle is surely too much even for this experienced sleuth. Then Wiki is tested even further when he uncovers a brutal murder on board. To solve this double mystery, Wiki is forced to make a dangerous voyage to the utmost fringes of the beckoning ice.

A Story of the West
by Susan Spence
Matt Daly and his father first came to Montana Territory driving a herd of Texas longhorns in the 1880s. They, like many others, were determined to make a living on the lawless frontier. Life was hard, but fulfilling as there was money to be made selling beef to the exploding population back east.
When the train came through, it made life easier and it also brought more people. Lavina Lavold rode out with her family seeking adventure, which she found when she met Matt and fell in love.
Conflicts were common as there were rustlers who wanted the Daly’s cattle and other ranchers who wanted the land they had claimed as their own. It didn’t matter that the vast prairie still belonged to the federal government.

The Silurian, Book One: The Fox and the Bear
by L.A. Wilson
Hundreds of years ago in a land ravaged by fierce clans, where only the strongest survive…a Legend of the People was born. From the historic tales of King Arthur comes a raw, riveting and passionate series of novels by author L.A. Wilson, who breathes fresh new life into this spell-binding story. Told as a first-person narrative by Prince Bedwyr, the Fox, the young warrior closest to Arthur’s heart–this is an amazing journey into the past, where social order was kept by the sword, loyalty and the desire to be free. Free to survive, free to live, and free to love without restraint. Through Wilson’s powerful story-telling, a whole dramatic world of love, hatred, war, betrayal and loss is created and viewed through the exotic and passionate eyes of The Fox, who spares no intimate detail in his tale of youth who becomes the Supreme Commander of Armies in Britannia, the Magister Militum, the Dux Bellorum.
The story begins on a battlefield in aftermath against the Saxon war-leaders, Hengist and Horsa, where the young Prince Bedwyr desperately searches for his foster-brother, Arthur, who is lost within the mass of dead and dying…and from this moment on, Bedwyr relates the agony of his life in the shadow of his powerful friend, who seizes life as a growing warlord: this is their journey to manhood, power and glory, suffering and the ultimate death that gives birth to the eternal legend of King Arthur.

The Duchess’s Tattoo: Thoughts on THE AMERICAN HEIRESS
by Daisy Goodwin
“Anyone suffering Downton Abbey withdrawal symptoms (who isn’t?) will find an instant tonic in Daisy Goodwin’s The American Heiress. The story of Cora Cash, an American heiress in the 1890s who bags an English duke, this is a deliciously evocative first novel that lingers in the mind.” –Allison Pearson, New York Times bestselling author of I Don’t Know How She Does It and I Think I Love You
“For daughters of the new American billionaires of the 19th century, it was the ultimate deal: marriage to a cash-strapped British Aristocrat in return for a title and social status. But money didn’t always buy them happiness.” â??DAISY GOODWIN IN THE DAILY MAIL
Traveling abroad with her mother at the turn of the twentieth century to seek a titled husband, beautiful, vivacious Cora Cash, whose family mansion in Newport dwarfs the Vanderbilts’, suddenly finds herself Duchess of Wareham, married to Ivo, the most eligible bachelor in England.
In “The Duchess’s Tattoo”, Cora Cash is desperate to be a fashionable lady of society. Despite her title and her wealth, she finds that English society is not that welcoming to “The American Duchess.” When Cora spies a distinctive snake tattoo on her mother-in-law’s wrist, she decides that she must have one as well.
It is up to the talented tattoo artist to save “The American Duchess” from herself.
In addition to the short story, “The Duchess Tattoo”, this also contains a letter from the author, Daisy Goodwin, on writing THE AMERICAN HEIRESS, an excerpt from “Titled Americans”, an authentic quarterly publication from 1890 which listed all of the eligible titled bachelors still on the market, and an excerpt from AN AMERICAN HEIRESS, a moving and brilliantly entertaining debut novel coming from St. Martin’s Press in June.

Six from Greeley
by Josh Langston
Greeley, Texas–a frontier town with a bad attitude and a reputation to match. Who lived in such a wicked place? Several compelling answers spring to life in this short story collection spanning more than a century of life, love and lust in the west Texas dust.
Greeley plays host to six short stories, each focusing on a special time, not just for this hardscrabble frontier town, but for the entire country. The time line stretches from the Civil War to the aftermath of Vietnam. Sin, it seems, never goes out of style.
Some characters come and go; others appear in multiple stories, and some of the most memorable aren’t even human.
“Six from Greeley” will take readers on a tour they’ll enjoy from beginning to end, and leave them hungry for more from this up and coming writer. Bonus: the collection also includes the first chapter of Josh Langston’s contemporary thriller, “Resurrection Blues,” another town-centered story. In this one, however, the residents don’t want anyone — especially tax collectors — to know the town exists.

Bloody Rain – Murder, Madness & the Monsoon
by Rick Spilman
Bloody Rain is a short story set on a sailing ship in the 1880s.
The Queen Charlotte was anchored fore and aft off the Calcutta wharves in the Hoogly River, waiting for cargo. She was a fine, three masted iron bark; trim, low and fast on a reach – in all respects, the perfection of the shipbuilder’s art. If she had a single great flaw, it was on her quarterdeck in the man that the owners had chosen as captain.
Captain John McPherson maintains absolute control over his ship and those who sail upon her. The only one that he cannot control is himself, slipping into murder and madness in the face of the relentless monsoon.

Time Crystal 1 – The Convergence (The Eridon Chronicles)
by Ethan Somerville
What do a condemned English pirate, an illiterate Scottish girl, a mute French nun, a young Australian prostitute and a Greek juvenile delinquent have in common?
They are all human/Eridon half-castes, and the Great Council of Eridon believes that they will be able help save their planet from invasion by the ruthless Warlord of Etiros. This reptilian conqueror has managed to steal a deadly Crystal of Power and enhance her mental abilities to godlike levels. The only way she can be defeated is by someone of comparable mental strength, armed with a similar artefact.
Many thousands of years earlier, Eridon explorers concealed the first Crystal of Power somewhere on Earth, and never revealed its location. It is believed that the human/Eridon half-castes, descendants of these explorers, subconsciously know its resting-place.
The Great Council of Eridon sends a young mentalist named Heathcliff to travel through Earth’s history, tracking down five half-castes who can help him find the Crystal, and bring it back to Eridon before it’s too late.
However, five such different characters have little in common, and do not always agree. And at least one of them wants the Crystal for himself. And to make matters worse, someone else has already discovered Earth’s Crystal and taken it!

A Thistle in the Mist
by Megan Denby
Meara isn’t thinking about death, that morning, when she kisses her mother good-bye, but hours later she is, as her fingers slide into the back of Mother’s shattered skull. Empty eyes – the empty eyes of her mother – stare right through her and Meara thinks her world has ended. She has no idea.
Ebullient and feisty, eighteen-year-old Meara MacDonald lives an idyllic life with her family, on the mist-enfolded Isle of Skye, dreaming of the day when she will wed her heart, the gallant Duncan MacLeod. But fate has other plans and when Aunt Deirdre and Uncle Sloan seep into their midst, Meara’s family is taken, one-by-one, for reasons she discovers are both personal and nefarious.
Mother is found dead, Da disappears, Duncan is taken by the Napoleonic Wars, Meara’s younger sister, Hannah – with child by Uncle Sloan – takes her own life and while Meara sleeps, her newborn son is snatched from her arms.
Unable to reign in her spirit or her tongue, Meara finds herself catapulted from Scotland to a household steeped in mystery in Nova Scotia where, guided by her strength of will, she will fight her way back to the remains of her family; her heart and soul.

The Silence of Trees
by Valya Dudycz Lupescu
In Chicago’s Ukrainian Village, Nadya Lysenko has built her life on a foundation of secrets. When she was sixteen, Nadya snuck out of her house in Western Ukraine to meet a fortuneteller in the woods. She never expected it to be the last time she would see her family. Decades later, Nadya continues to be haunted by the death of her parents and sisters. The myths and magic of her childhood are still a part of her reality: dreams unite friends across time and space, house spirits misplace keys and glasses, and a fortuneteller’s cards predict the future. Nadya’s beloved dead insist on being heard through dreams and whispers in the night. They want the truth to come out. Nadya needs to face her past and confront the secrets she buried–in The Silence of Trees.

Are You Positive?
by Stephen Davis
Ripped from the headlines of today’s news, “Are You Positive?” is a fictitious courtroom drama in the style of John Grisham.
26-year-old Tyree Johnson stands accused of first degree murder in a prominent South Carolina courtroom. But his murder weapon is not a gun or a knife; in fact, there was no violent crime at all. His “victim,” Beth Ann Brooks, dated Tyree for a few months, and they made love more than once. However, Tyree Johnson had been diagnosed HIV-Positive, and the prosecution claims that Beth Ann Brooks was infected with HIV by Tyree and died some months later.
The defense, however, claims there is reasonable doubt that Tyree’s HIV diagnosis was wrong – that, according to numerous scientific studies, the so-called “HIV tests” are fraught with errors, and have been ever since their inventor, Dr. Robert Gallo, lied on his patent application. Furthermore, Tyree’s lawyer argues that there is no scientific evidence that HIV is transmitted by heterosexual intercourse, and that Tyree’s girlfriend died from taking lethal anti-retroviral drugs rather than from any HIV/AIDS-related illness.
Based on more than 500 actual scientific studies and references, the author claims that every word of sworn testimony is true and verifiable.
“Are You Positive?” raises serious questions about whether anyone has ever been properly diagnosed as HIV-Positive, and whether most AIDS victims are dying from the side-effects of the HIV medications prescribed by their doctors – all in a spell-binding novel.
You be the judge.

Gunboat Number 14
by Jens Kuhn
It’s 1808 and Sweden is at war with Russia. The war is not going well. On land, the Swedish army is retreating continuously and all that stands between the Russians and the Swedish mainland are the gunboats of the inshore fleet. The sea war amongst the islands of the Finnish and Swedish archipelagos is a special kind of war, fought in open boats by badly equipped men without proper training. Fighting the weather as much as the Russians, Lieutenant Johan Kuhlin commands a small squadron of three gunboats on special duty. During the short and wet summer, he learns that an independent command isn’t all glory and that spies can be more dangerous than Russian guns.

Gastien: The Beginning (The Gastien Series)
by Caddy Rowland
Dear Readers: Please note the * toward the end of description.
When young Gastien Beauchamp flees the farm for Paris, the late nineteenth century bohemian era is in full swing. Color has always called to him, beseeching him to capture it on canvas and show people a new way of seeing things. His father belittled his dream of being an artist and tried to beat him into giving it up. The dream wouldn’t die, but Gastien would have had he not left.
He also yearns to become a great lover. After the years of anguish he has endured at the hand of his father, it would be heaven to feel pleasure instead of pain.
However, the city of Paris has a ruthless agenda. Unless a man has money and connections, Paris unfeelingly crushes dreams and destroys souls. With neither of the required assets, Gastien faces living in alleys, digging in trash bins for food, and sleeping where a man is often killed for his threadbare blanket.
Left with only his dreams, Gastien stubbornly pushes on. He vows that absolutely nothing will stop him, not yet realizing what keeping that vow might mean. Sometimes the “impossible” is possible – but the cost can be extremely high.
*This book contains the first twelve chapters — almost 83,000 words — of Gastien Part 1: The Cost of the Dream, the first volume in “The Gastien Series”. “Gastien: The Beginning” is only meant to give the reader a good sample of the storyline, the author’s style, and the chance to see if they want to commit to a full series of an ADULT drama/family saga that is also steeped in history. Please understand that this sample is not a stand- alone book, although the reader will experience more than what is usually the size of a full length novel (most are 60,000 to 70,000 words). If the reader decides that they enjoy the story of Gastien, the next step is to move on to Gastien Part 1: The Cost of the Dream, which also contains these first 83,000 words plus an additional almost 64,000. I hope that after reading the equivalent of the length of one novel you love Gastien enough to buy the first book and then the other four books in “The Gastien Series”. It is an emotionally charged saga and a ride that I feel you will find worth taking. -Caddy Rowland, Author

Canyon of Death (Short Stories of the American Frontier-1800s)
by Richard Puz
On the American Frontier in the 1800s, the greatest loss of life on the Oregon Trail was not caused by Indians, accidents, or weather. The biggest danger was unexpected, silent, and deadly. Josiah and his party come across a large herd of cattle on its way to the California gold fields with drovers that are dying or already dead. Read this story about the greatest killer on the pioneer’s trail.
The inspiration for my stories draws from my novels and family tales about settlers who journeyed to the American frontier. Their accounts, passed down through the generations, paint pictures of courageous and adventurous peopleâ??a hearty lotâ??who had perseverance, self reliance, and, despite dangers and fears of the unknown wilderness, overcame their misgivings. Most were not famous or widely celebrated or known, yet they carved out homes, farms, and a life on the frontier, and, in the process, created a great nation. They are heroes in my eyes.
From my research, I better understand the plight of early Native Americans. They were ultimately swept aside by the oncoming tide of settlers, despite being fierce and resourceful. There came a time for compassion by the conquering invaders. Too many times, it did not occur. Unavoidably, the stain remains a part of America’s legacy.
Thank you for reading my short stories and novels. Richard Puz

THRILLER OF THE MONTH! – e-thriller.com
Â
“Furies makes your head reel from the very beginning … A phenomenal read.”
- I Read A Book Once
The best-selling author of the riveting crime thriller CHALK VALLEY returns with another gripping tale of criminal evil. Â
FURIES
36 AD -Â The city of Alexandria is a center of Roman commerce–and a sinful playground for the pleasure-seeking rich and powerful.
For wealthy merchant Decimus Tarquitius Aculeo, however, Alexandria has become a living hell. Ruined by a string of mysterious investment disasters, abandoned by friends and family, Aculeo is desperate to recover his wealth and status.
But his search for the reasons behind his downfall draws him into a web of violence. A common slave is found murdered in the magnificent temple of the god Serapis. Days later, the brutalized body of a high-priced hetaira is discovered floating in a canal, after an evening entertaining the city’s elite. The grim truth soon becomes clear: A ruthless killer is moving among Alexandria’s aristocrats, commercial titans, and philosophers.
And ominous clues begin to connect those murders to Aculeo’s own quest. Aided by an Egyptian mortuary attendant, a brilliant philosopher, an exotic hetaira, and his last remaining friends, Aculeo must unmask and stop a deadly murderer if he is ever to reclaim the life he has lost.
But first, he must survive…
Â
FURIES is a highly original crime thriller that transports you into an ancient, captivating world. It weaves threads of exquisite beauty and stark brutality, phenomenal wealth and degrading poverty, clashing philosophies and colorful mythologies, into an unforgettable fabric of this lost golden age.Â

Black Knights of the Hudson Book I: Shadow of the Flags
by Beverly C. Gray
Duty, Honor, Country is the motto of the graduates of the United States Military Academy at West Point. Black Knights of the Hudson is a series of books that tells the saga of the fictional MacKendrick Army family from the Civil War through World War II.
In Shadow of the Flags, brothers James and Timothy MacKendrick must decide whether to honor their oaths to defend the flag and remain in the Blue of the Union Army or to follow kin and closest friends into the Gray of the Confederacy.
Shadow of the Flags is the first book in the story of the MacKendrick Army family. James MacKendrick and his younger brother, Timothy, are both graduates of West Point but have been raised in a proud Virginia family. When Civil War rips their country apart, each must make the heartbreaking decision as to whether to stay loyal to the United States or join the tide of other Southern-bred officers who choose to follow their home states out of the Union. For James, the decision revolves around his affection for his Virginia homeland as well as personal ambition. Graduated at the top of his class, James understands that great men often rise from the anonymity of the battlefield. For lighthearted Timothy, in his first exciting assignment with the 1st Cavalry, the decision carries a heavy burden: West Point and his determination to honor his soldier’s commitment against his strong friendship with J.E.B. Stuart and Fitzhugh Lee.
The MacKendrick brothers are not alone as they face the dawn of war. Their uncle, Lafayette Randolph, is a close friend and kinsman of Robert E. Lee. He too is a Virginian and graduate of West Point and must make the same difficult decision to remain true to flag or state. Their aunt, gentle Dorothea, provides what motherly support she can to the boys she raised after the deaths of their own parents at the time of the Mexican War. Vivacious Marietta follows her husband to the plague-ridden city of Richmond so that she’ll be there for him on his rare furloughs. Adria Weston, a brilliant and restless young lady from Boston, must balance her sudden infatuation for a professional soldier against her own willful determination to remain her own person.
In Shadow of the Flags, the reader encounters the full panoply of West Point’s legendary Band of Brothers: Robert E. Lee, J.E.B. Stuart, Fitz Lee, Philip Sheridan, George Custer, and Philip St. George Cooke to name only a few of the historical personages who march through the pages of this sweeping saga. From First Manassas to Reconstruction, the MacKendricks confront their destinies on the field of battle and in the loving arms of their women.

Queen’s Gambit Free 1st Chapter
by Elizabeth Fremantle
Free eBook only exclusive first chapter.
For fans of Hilary Mantel, Philippa Gregory and Alison Weir, Elizabeth Fremantle’s first novel, Queen’s Gambit, is a riveting account of Katherine Parr, the Tudor queen who married four men and outlived three of them – including Henry VIII.
Widowed for the second time aged thirty-one, Katherine is obliged to return to court but, suspicious of the aging Henry and those who surround him, she does so with reluctance. Nevertheless when she finds herself caught up in a passionate affair with the dashing and seductive Thomas Seymour, she believes she might finally be able to marry for love. But her presence at court has attracted the attentions of another…
Captivated by her honesty and intelligence, Henry Tudor has his own plans for Katherine and no one is in the position to refuse a proposal from the king. With her charismatic lover dispatched to the continent, Katherine becomes Henry’s sixth wife.
Passionate about religious reform, and ever aware of the fates of his previous queens, she must draw upon all her instincts and intellect to navigate the treachery of the court. With the Catholic faction once more in the ascendency, reformers burned for heresy and those around the dying king vying for position in the new regime, her survival seems unlikely – and yet she has still not quite given up on love…
Rich in atmosphere and period detail, and told through the eyes of Katherine and her young maid Dot, Queen’s Gambit is the story of two very different women during a terrifying and turbulent time. If you loved Wolf Hall, The Other Boleyn Girl or the BBC drama series The Tudors, then Elizabeth Fremantle’s Queen’s Gambit is the book for you.
Elizabeth Fremantle holds a first in English and an MA in creative Writing from Birkbeck. As a Fashion Editor she has contributed to various publications including Vogue, Elle, Vanity Fair and the Erotic Review and has had her fiction published in the Mechanic’s Institute Review. Queen’s Gambit is her first novel.

Ring of Flowers: A Novella
by Brian Andrews
Ring of Flowers, a 46-page novella, is a bittersweet love story and a companion piece to the full length novel The Calypso Directive, written by the same author… In 1665, in the Derbyshire village of Eyam, the tailor George Vicars orders a bolt of fabric from London to make a wedding dress for his betrothed daughter, Kathryn. To escape her fate of marrying the town’s wealthiest and most odious bachelor, she elopes with her true love, farmhand Paul Foster.

First bitten and first to die, George Vicars’ misfortune becomes the community’s death sentence when the town Rector boldly imposes a quarantine on all Eyam residents. Months later, expecting a child, the newlyweds return home to find their world turned upside down. Once inside the township, they are forbidden to leave and Kathryn is forced to give birth in quarantine. Under the shadow plague, and against all odds, Will Foster’s paternal ancestor is born . . . with a genetic mutation that will change the world 345 years later.

Prelude to Reveille: A Vietnam Awakening
by S.D. Sawyer
Have we made things right with our Vietnam Veterans? It’s been almost one-half century since American involvement in this unpopular war, but after reading Prelude to Reveille: A Vietnam Awakening, readers understand why author S.D.Sawyer has written this novel and asked this question.
Inspired by real-life experiences of the author and her husband, this historical fiction mines the personal histories of protagonist Tom Barrington and other soldiers during this turbulent period. Tom arrived at his first assignment, The Old Guard, in Arlington, VA, in December, 1967. Months later he was ordered to Ranger School, and finally deployed to Vietnam. His young wife, Meg, juggled her career as a new teacher while adapting to regulations required of an Army wife, before entering the foreboding world of the Waiting Wife.
Wounded half-way through his tour, Tom went from combat on a jungle trail to surgery in Japan, to enrollment at a small college back home. Anti-war demonstrations and protests cordoned off returning veterans from what should have been safe soil. Ignored by institutions and support networks that had offered care to returning soldiers in past decades, these veterans could never have prepared for a peacetime home front that would prove as perilous and haunting as the theater of war they had faced in Southeast Asia.
Sawyer presents a hard contrast between the repeatedly tested valor of such noble heroes, and the chilling response to them from this once-proud country. Prelude to Reveille: A Vietnam Awakening possesses a sense of time and place that foreshadows issues still facing military families. Its tone and details make it resonate with those who lived during this era as well as future generations who will only learn of these conflicts from a history book.
Bravery and commitment to America are not limited to times of triumph and national celebration, but remain steadfast and true in the face of protracted engagement, ambiguous mission and uncertain outcome. In this tribute to our soldiers, S.D. Sawyer invokes a call for the America of today to awaken to what Vietnam War era soldiers have lived through, and realizeâ??many still need to be welcomed back home.

The Uprising at Babi Yar – The Syrets Deathcamp (The Jewish History Novel Series)
by Othniel J. Seiden
The horrors and events that took place at Babi Yar, outside Kiev in the Ukraine, are little known by people outside the Ukraine. But the horrors of this portion of the Jewish Holocaust need to be brought to light. The Hebrew Historical fiction book “The Remnant – the Jewish Resistance in WWII,” began this process.
The horrendous massacre of over 100,000 Jews at Babi Yar and more than twice that number of other prisoners and Russian captives has been well documented, but few have ever heard about the death camp at that ravine of death.
The bizarre goings on at Babi Yar attests to the inhuman actions and motives of the Nazis. Furthermore Babi Yar was one of the few death camps where there was a mass revolt and escape effort by the prisoners.
Because of these unique situations, this story deserves more than the few chapters in “The Remnant,”

Arthur and Mariot are among the poorest of the poor serfs in 12th Century England. Some call them chattel, no better than the oxen that plow the baron’s fields. While the Yule log roars in the great castle hearth and the baron and his household feast on Christmas goose, Arthur’s family shivers in the cold. Serfs are not meant to dream or love, but Arthur dares to do both. Twelve days after Christmas, on the gift giving day of Epiphany, Arthur makes a sacrifice that will change the future of one of his family members forever. “An Epiphany Gift for Robin”, by award winning medieval author Joyce DiPastena, is a short story that will touch your heart and warm your soul this Christmas season.

It is a time of great crisis and bloodshed as the two greatest powers of the ancient world – Carthage and Rome are locked in a deadly struggle for control over the Mediterranean. But for one young Roman soldier named Gaius who once dreamed of glory and honor, finds himself trapped between his duty to the Republic, and his heart, for in Rome is Julia, a childhood friend and the one woman who has given his life meaning. However, the daughter of the wealthy and influential senator, Terentius Varro has promised her to his political rival Lucius Aemilius Paullus, dividing Gaius’ loyalties as war ravages Italy, and as Rome faces one crushing defeat after another from Hannibal’s invading barbarian horde, Gaius stands to lose more than just his love and his life.

The Curiosity Cabinet
by Catherine Czerkawska
â??The island reminds her of those magic painting books. The shop here used to sell them. You would dip your brush in water and pale, clear colours would emerge from the page, as this green and blue landscape is emerging from the mist.’
â??She saw before her a small but strongly built man, in his thirties perhaps, wearing highland dress, bare legs showing beneath the big blue plaid. He reminded her of the highlanders she had seen on the streets of Edinburgh where sometimes, dressed in their outlandish clothes, they were perceived as crude figures of fun and sometimes, bristling with weaponry and with the drink taken, as dangerous incomers. Manus was no figure of fun although she could see that he might be dangerous, a better friend than an enemy, perhaps.’
When Alys revisits the beautiful Hebridean island of Garve after an absence of twenty five years, she is captivated by the embroidered casket on display in her hotel. She discovers that it belongs to Donal, her childhood playmate, and soon they resume their old friendship. Interwoven with the story of their growing love, is the darker tale of Henrietta Dalrymple, kidnapped by the formidable Manus McNeill and held on Garve against her will. With three hundred years separating them, the women are linked by the cabinet and its contents, by the tug of motherhood and by the magic of the island itself. But Garve has its secrets, past and present. Donal must learn to trust Alys enough to confide in her and, like Henrietta before her, Alys must earn the right to belong.
What people have said about this book:
â??Heartwarming, realistic and page turning’ – Lorraine Kelly.
â??A powerful story about love and obligationâ?¦ a persuasive novel, very well written’ – John Burnside.
â??A stunning Hebridean setting’ – the Sunday Herald.
The Curiosity Cabinet was one of three novels shortlisted for the prestigious 2005 Dundee Book Prize. It was published in the same year by Polygon but has been out of print for some time. The new cover design for the Kindle edition is by distinguished Scottish textile artist Alison Bell, who interpreted her own response to the book as follows: â??The narrative works on many layers of memory and time, some hazy, some forgotten, but the island’s presence is constant, as a refuge and a place to grow and start afresh. I wanted the colours to be soft, subtle, muted, with hints of turquoise, like the sea up there. It is a gentle book which drifts into the mind’s eye as each chapter unfolds.’
Catherine Czerkawska is an award winning author of historical and contemporary novels, short stories and many plays for the stage and for BBC Radio 4. She loves the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, Scottish history and music. When not writing, she also finds time to collect and deal in antique and vintage textiles, especially those with a Scottish or Irish provenance. She’s fascinated by costume history and often finds that antique textiles: embroideries, lace, silks and satins, find their way into her fiction.

Duende
by Lizzie Eldridge
â??Don’t you think that what’s happening in our very country is about ideas?’ asked the professor. â??All too often ideas harden into rigid ideologies and these become used to justify all sorts of atrocities.’
This is the story of ‘Duende’, of the teeming philosophical and artistic ideas taking Europe by storm during the 1920s and 1930s, that led in Spain to the harsh political and military reality of one of the most brutal civil wars on record.
Two artists, Nayo (a painter) and José (a philosopher) fall in love and together wrestle with the ‘duende’, the force within art that evokes the essential experience of life in the face of the dread certainty of death.
Many of their friends, including Salvador DalÃ, Ortega y Gasset and, most crucially, Frederico GarcÃa Lorca, are struggling with the same issue in their art, nourished by the escalating violence in their country, and across Europe as a whole, that proportionately threatens their own existence. Frederico Lorca’s poetry and plays were considered ‘unSpanish’ by traditionalists and he was duly murdered by a death squad at the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War in 1936.
In Lizzie Eldridge’s hands, ‘Duende’ is a consummate attempt in itself to capture the ‘duende’, the mechanics of constructing authentic art within the spirit of intellectual enquiry as to what life really means, and against the shadow of cataclysmic destruction.

Rockets of the Reich – A World War II Action Novel (New Millennium Writers Series)
by Kim Kinrade
Best-selling Canadian author Kim Kinrade makes his US publishing debut with this exciting Alternative History World War II Thriller. Hitler and the SS formulate a plan to devastate the United States with a rocket attack during World War II.
To carry out the plan, the Nazis set up a rocket base on a small island off the coast of Nova Scotia. Based on recently declassified US Coast Guard documents, Rockets of the Reich reveals one of the worst fears of President Roosevelt and the American military leaders of the time: could the V-2s that terrorized London make their way to American cities?
Praise for Rockets of the Reich
“Rockets of the Reich is Kim Kinrade’s fourth novel and easily his best. He weaves immaculate research with a wicked sense of pacing to create an alternative history page turner. This action-packed WWII novel asks the question: what if the Nazis attempted a strike on continental USA from the east coast of Canada? Fans of Tom Clancy or Len Deighton will love this well-plotted sizzler.”
-Mark Sampson, Atlantic Progress magazine, Halifax, Nova Scotia
“This exciting, fast-paced novel is very well-researched and disturbingly believable. Kim Kinrade does a great job of using telling details to draw the reader out of the 21st Century and into the maelstrom of World War II.”
-Tonya Allen, Uboat.net
Kim Kinrade is a Canadian author/entertainer. His previous books, Ice Break, Beneath the Plains of Abraham and The Millennium Man, are Canadian best-sellers. When not writing, Mr. Kinrade is the entertainer-in-residence at a Nova Scotia resort. Mr. Kinrade and his family reside near Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Old Bach Is Come
by Steve Schach
Empress Maria Theresa of Austria has sent secret agents Paul Müller and Franz Braun to Prussia to assassinate King Frederick the Great. The King’s preoccupation with the visiting musical master, Johann Sebastian Bach, offers a host of opportunities for the two secret agents to make inroads. However, the pair mistakenly underestimates the unscrupulous and cruel Prussian Minister of Police, Baron Manfred von Hochenheimer.
Paul and Franz concoct plans to deceive the Minister, but their trickeries merely thwart their own efforts. The two conclude that, in order to kill Frederick the Great, they will have to first eliminate the man who so staunchly protects the royal subject. They carry out a revised strategy and unexpectedly receive aid from an insurgent on his own crusade. However, each small success Franz and Paul achieve seems to set them further back from their ultimate goal of slaying the King.
Pursued by Prussian border guards, they are forced to flee Berlin on foot and seek the guidance of their prudent spymaster. In the safe haven of Vienna, the three men employ various tactics for gaining intelligence on the King. Ordered back to Prussia to finalize their mission, Paul and Franz must fool overzealous innkeepers, foresters, soldiers and secret police. Can they outwit the Prussian forces and attack the throne? Or will their fraudulent behavior have a rebound effect that propels them toward a future of torture and execution?

Coat of Nails: America Rising, Part 2
by Rich Hughes
In October, 1781 the British surrendered at Yorktown. In 1783, the Treaty of Versailles was signed. The American Revolution was done. And the new country’s growing pains began.
America was not a nation. Not by any stretch of the imagination. The country was made up of thirteen states all clustered on the eastern seaboard. (The American frontier, at some points, was less than 250 miles west of the Atlantic Ocean.)
With no war to bind them together, the states went their own separate ways. Thirteen legislatures, one in each state, enacted laws and printed money and levied taxes based on their own self-interests. Seven states even maintained their own navies. There were no established national policies about things like freedom of speech or religion or even freedom itself. There were, after all, some 700,000 slaves in the states with no freedom at all.
It took until 1788 for the Constitution to be adopted and 1789 for George Washington to be inaugurated as the first President of the United States of America.
As America set out to find itself, the new country was beset by tribulations that wore a far more personal face.

CHOSEN to partake in a government initiative known only as ‘the Program’, Cawdor High’s graduating students are quick to find their old rivalries and alliances playing out on a scale grander than any one of them could have ever imagined. Given control of fourteen ancient civilisations within an immense virtual world, the hundred teenagers must engage their foes, protect their allies, and safeguard their own interests leveraging all the powers of human history.
In high school, Lex Ryerson had never been outgoing, outspoken or even remotely popular, but as a member of the fledgling Blue faction, he finds himself emerging as a powerful player in a world forged by the capricious nature of the teenage psyche. The Blues rise to early prominence as they and their neighbouring nations find themselves embroiled in political intrigue and worldwide conflict that could spell doom at any moment for one or all.
Spears and swords make way for cannons and guns, with warships and nuclear power thrusting the Program down an increasingly hazy path of warfare and politics. In a world birthed by the collective consciousness of a hundred teenaged minds, how many will be able to tread its narrow paths between sweeping glory and utter decimation?
For its enablers, the answer will be their final education.

Days Gone By: Homage to Barnaby Conrad’s Santa Barbara Writers Conference
by Marla Miller
Barnaby Conrad, founder of the Santa Barbara Writers Conference, passed on in early 2013. Some writers may wonder, why attend a writers conference? In these two scenes extracted from a novel I have not yet published, my protagonist answers that question by sharing her ‘first time’ experience at the Santa Barbara Writers Conference. Though this ebook is a work of fiction, the feelings that inspired this novel are rooted in fact.
For almost 25 years, I have been in association with the Santa Barbara Writers Conference, first as a ‘newby writer’ and now as a workshop leader.
The 2013 S.B.W.C. commences soon, the first one without our founder, Barnaby Conrad.
Write on, Barny.
Write on.

KINMEL REVISITED
by Robert Bridge
Kinmel Revisited takes its readers back to an era perhaps long forgotten?, an era when wars were fought in hand to hand combat.The story of the Kinmel Camp riot of 1919 is widely known along with the five graves with the Canadian
Maple Leaf Emblem on them,situated in St Margerets Churchyard Bodelwyddan North Wales. I have woven a stroy of history and mystery, mystery perhaps of how those five died in the riot,and history that seems lost?.
using fictional characters so as not to offend any living relatives I have given readers an example of what life was like in the camp,the riot that followed and the court martials,

by Marion Husband
A compelling and secret love story set in the aftermath of World War One
November 1919
War hero Paul Harris returns from the trenches and finds himself torn between desire and duty. His secret lover Adam awaits him but so too does Margot, the pregnant fiancée of his dead brother.
Set in a time when homosexuality was â??the love that dare not speak its name’ Paul has to decide where his loyalty and his heart lie.
Praise for The Boy I Love
As with all the best novelists, Husband’s talent seems to draw its energy from the experience of writing from perspectives far removed from her own as she inhabits other genders, other sexualities, other eras. Her ventriloquism is compelling.’ Author Patrick Gale
Winner of The Andrea Badenoch Award, Husband’s novels are compelling page turners with hidden secrets and complex love lives that vividly convey the aftermath of dreadful conflicts. Marion Husband never shies away from describing life – and death – or the physical side of her characters’ sexual relationships.’ The Northern Echo
â??Husband’s stunning writing and inspired prose lend well to her honest characters. Her writing is incredibly easy to read and sucks you in to the story immediately – read when you’re in the mood for something intense and moving.’ Three Dollar Bill Reviews, USA

Cougar Cub Tales: I’m Just Like You
by Sharon Cramer
ALL NEW KINDLE VERSION
Gold Award Winner/ MCA Best Picture Book
Cougar Cub Tales: I’m Just Like You is about a cougar cub brother and sister who, one day, encounter a creature very unlike themselves. They have ungrounded apprehension about whether or not the blind bobcat is “a REAL cougar cub”.
By the end of the tale, they realize that, despite their differences, they really ARE the same where it counts. They learn to overlook their physical differences as they embrace their new friend. It is a timeless story that deals with the everyday issue of intolerance, especially regarding physical difference and disability. It is written in a wonderful nonsensical rhyme, and the eighteen watercolors are an exquisite representation of this charming tale.

The Light Keepers, a FREE Epic Fantasy Adventure (ShadowLight Saga)
by Mande Matthews
From the #1 Bestselling Norse Fantasy Author, comes The Light Keepers, a prequel to the ShadowLight Saga
Isolated because of what she is–because of the power she holds inside–Astrid longs for contact with another human being. Her well-intentioned mother locks her away from society in order to protect her from an evil that seeks to use Astrid’s abilities for his own means. But the resulting loneliness drives Astrid deeper into the shadowwalk–a power she is forbidden to use, a magic that lands her directly into the arms of the Shadow.
This short prequel to the ShadowLight Saga offers a revealing glimpse into the history of the beautiful and mysterious warrior maiden known as Swan, called Astrid in this prequel. It takes place a few moons before Bonded begins and is a self-contained novelette of approximately 10,000 words.
PRAISE FOR THE LIGHT KEEPERS
You’ve never seen dark versus light like this before! Matthews expertly twists good and bad until the lines are blurred and your heart is racing.
Astrid (Swan) is such an amazing heroine – she’s so tough, yet emotionally rich. Since Astrid can’t speak, I loved how Matthews weaved in her internal thoughts throughout the action – it gave me an extra layer of insight to her cool personality. I loved her!
It’s sexy, intriguing and fast paced…The Light Keepers hurls you right into the action…leaving you begging for more…

Dark Knight in Disguise I: Earthbound Angels Book 1 (Earthbound Angels 1: Dark Knight in Disguise)
by Sandra Ross
He seeks his fate in the form of those he used to hate…
WHEN AN ANGEL DESIRES TO LOVE AS A MAN
Erick Angell was an angel who protested too many times about the weakness of his human brothers; as a result, he was thrown out of heaven and into the world of those who always will to disobey.
He feels cursed, even as he is one among angels who wear the living flesh but is unable to shake their nature as angels, defenders of the light in an otherwise dark world.
Hollianne Talbot sat outside her evicted apartment in tears.
Following a heated argument with her landlord, she seems to be at the end of the line. But sitting inside the cafe across the street is Erick Angell, who is watching the entire scene unfold.
An guardian angel-in-disguise, Erick saves Hollianne. He gave her the chance to start anew. But the feelings she invokes in him aren’t entirely angel-like.
For the first time in his life as a man, he feels stirrings of sexual awareness. He feels emotions. He is protective of her, wants to take care of her…
And it isn’t like anything he felt with the people he encountered in his other life as a dark knight, the life he tries to keep hidden away.

READER ADVISORY: This story contains content that some readers may find objectionable, including sex and erotic themes.
EXCERPT
Settling back on the sofa, he picked up his cell phone and typed in Hollianne Talbot’s name. Then listened to the ringing on the other end. ”Hello,” a sultry-sounding voice answered. It was not the kind of voice he would have expected her to have; contrary to the picture of dejection she had presented, it held a sense of possibility held in check, of unconscious but undeniable sensuality. Â
He closed his eyes. The better to savor the voice, he thought, but opened his eyes again at the absurdity of that idea.
He was an angel, not a wolf in a stupid fairy tale, regardless of how he was unable to quite shake off the image of a predator stalking prey. No, he thought. I refuse to think of myself in those terms, even if I’m being metaphorical.
“Yes, hello. May I speak with Hollianne Talbot, please?” he said rather gruffly.
“You are,” the husky voice replied.He felt his heart thumping in that strange way again; he could not decide whether it was painful or pleasurable. Her voice was enough to send a human male’s thoughts into completely inappropriate areas.
I’m already there, he reminded himself, feeling utterly human at the moment.
“How may I help you?” asked Hollianne, obviously curious that he was quiet.
Oh, if you only knew, Erick thought.

When duty forces a shaman to stop a vampire from her revenge, love doesn’t just burn… it bites.

She finally catches up to him only to face more than she bargained for in a too-sexy sheriff who makes her remember she’s still a woman. With duties as Keeper of the peace and Sheriff, Shane Spencer must protect humanity and stop the friction between the local Arcaine races before it turns into an all out blood war.Â
When wolves start turning up dead, the tension between the races grows and suspicion falls on Niki.

Knights: The Eye of Divinity is part of a planned series that will be released book by book on the Kindle. However, it stands alone as a complete novel. None of the books in the Knights series will be left off abruptly at the end, but each will instead have a satisfying conclusion.
BOOK SUMMARY:
Strange and legendary Dremlock Kingdom is facing destruction from both within and beyond its stone walls in the form of goblins–creatures spawned by evil that come in all shapes and sizes–and the Deep Shadow, a hungry and spreading force of dark sorcery that infects people with madness.
To save their kingdom, the knights recruit a lonely and isolated boy named Lannon who lives in a wooded valley with his crazy father, who bears a dark illness of the soul, and his foul-tempered mother. Lannon is sought out because he possesses a rare power called the Eye of Divinity. The knights need Lannon’s gift to see through the fog of evil that shrouds Dremlock Kingdom and give them the advantage they need to turn the tables on their ancient foe.
With the help of his friends, Lannon tries desperately to unlock the Eye of Divinity in time to save Dremlock Kingdom from otherwise certain doom. With the Deep Shadow creeping around the kingdom and infecting hearts and minds, Lannon isn’t sure if anyone in Dremlock can even be trusted. Lannon finds himself, and his fellow squires, caught in a web of mystery and magic in a kingdom where anything can happen.
AUTHOR’S BACKGROUND: Robert E. Keller has published more than 30 fantasy short stories in online and print magazines. He lives in Northern Michigan with his wife Tracy.

by Courtney Cole
Born a goddess. Controlled by the Fates. Can Macy’s love for her soul mate survive the bonds of time… and death?
17-year old Macy Lockhart is as far from normal as any one girl can be. The problem is, she doesn’t know it yet.
After a bloodstone pendant is mysteriously left on her door, Macy’s life begins to change in ways she’d never dreamed. And while she will eventually come to realize that nothing is ever what it seems, that her life is a tangled web of lies and the Fates themselves pull the strings, for now she is left with only the explanations that they offer her.
Macy is led to believe that if she doesn’t return to a previous doomed life, one in which she served as Queen Cleopatra â??s handmaiden, the fate of the entire world will be threatened in a way that would destroy history as we know it. She learns that she has lived thousands of lives, each one ending tragicallyâ?¦but none as tragic as this one.
After returning to ancient Egypt, she is faced with heart-wrenching decisions. Unless she interferes with Fate’s plan, the very thing she was born to protect, her soul mate will die leading Marc Antony’s forces against Rome. Can she really stand aside and watch the love of her life die all over again?
In this fascinating novel-length prequel to The Bloodstone Saga, Courtney Cole sets the stage for an epic journey that will have readers holding their breath until the very last page of the very last book has been turned.

The Third Son (Kings of Cardenas Book 1)
by Elise Marion
Prince Damien, the spoiled youngest son of the king of Cardenas, finds that his world will never quite be the same again when a fiery Gypsy girl, Esmeralda, comes dancing into his privileged life.
Rake. Rogue. Scoundrel. Each of these words has been used to describe Damien Largess, youngest prince of Cardenas, most frequently by his ridiculously somber eldest brother. Damien is perfectly content to spend his days drinking at the card tables, and his nights in the bed of his scheming mistress, especially since doing these things seems to vex his high-handed brother to no end. But when he steps into a glittering ballroom on the night of his twenty-fifth birthday, the roguish young prince’s life will be forever changed.
Beautiful. Graceful. Sensual. When Esmeralda steps into the center of the King’s ballroom to perform for his youngest son’s birthday, every eye in the room is glued to the tall, lithe Gypsy dancer. One pair of eyes seems to burn straight through her, and though she has worked endlessly to shield her heart, she finds her defenses slowly slipping away in the presence of the handsome prince. She cannot resist his devastating charm, nor is she immune to the earth shattering desire in his kiss. As she falls rapidly under his spell, Esmeralda dares to hope for a future she would never have thought possible.
With a deadly plot against the royal family surrounding him in danger and intrigue, Damien will face a decision he never thought he would have to make. Would he step up to claim a responsibility that should never have fallen to the third son? Or will he abandon it to risk all for love?

The First Dragoneer (Introductory Novella) (The Dragoneers Saga)
by M.R. Mathias
The First Dragoneer is an intro to the Dragoneer Saga. I wrote it in 2009, before I could consider myself a writer. The characters are young, but the story wasn’t written to be YA. Many reviewers believe it, and the rest of the Dragoneer Saga, is. In fantasy, I don’t really think it matters all that much. The Royal Dragoneers, the first full length novel in the series, is just 2.99 for a limited time.
If you like dragons, action, and adventure, you may enjoy these books. I definately enjoyed bringing them to fruition.
Hold on to your dragon! – M. R. Mathias
The First Dragoneer
When two young men go on a hunt that they know will probably be the last hunt of their youth, they decide they want it to be an unforgettable outting.
When they cross a ridge and leave the unprotected, unpatrolled boundary of their kingdom, they find a cavern that looks like it needs to be explored.
Inside the cavern they find exactly what they were looking for. For residing in the darkened depths of this stoney hole is something that they will never forget……
That is, if they live long enough to remember it!
Snippet: His words abruptly stopped as a new sound carried toward them. It was a snort, a loud one. It was accompanied by the sound of rattling branches. Brendly instantly went back into firing position; alert, prone and ready.
March gave his nose a last second scratch as put his arrow to the string. The soft sound of Bren’s excited breathing was the last sound he heard before tuning the world out so that he could focus on the tree line.
First it was a small doe, a yearling, March thought. Two fawns, and another larger doe appeared. With nervous darting eyes, the biggest of the four deer lowered its head and began to drink. Slowly the others followed. March was thrilled. He hoped that Bren would be patient. A buck was sure to present itself eventually.
Bren almost loosed his arrow on the larger doe, but at the last second thought better of it. He wanted a buck to show off to his dad, but his restraint was mostly due to the two awkward moving young fawns frolicking near their mother.
Suddenly, all four of the deer rose from the pool and froze in alarm. In a flash of movement, a big cracking sound erupted from behind them. They were off in a series of leaping bounds that carried them instantly out of sight and back into the forest.
Here he comes, March thought. He expected a wide heavy rack of antlers to emerge from the trees, announcing the leader of the herd. Instead, the creature that showed itself nearly stopped his heart.
As silently as he could, Brendly took in a deep breath as the magnificent beast stepped out of the tree line. Cautiously, yet with an air of arrogance, it moved into the clearing and looked around.
It was the white stag…

Maelyn (The Nine Princesses Novellas – Book 1)
by Anita Valle
Is Maelyn a real princess? Or a royal mistake?
Maelyn was not born a princess. The king found her as a child, the lone survivor of a poor village slaughtered by the Red Fever. Suddenly she became a princess of Runa Realm, the first of nine orphans adopted by the king.
By her eighteenth year, Maelyn rules over Runa and a family of nine sisters. But some call the princesses frauds and imposters, a handful of urchins raised into royalty. Even Uncle Jarrod, the High King of Grunwold, seems determined to prove that Maelyn no longer deserves to be a princess. With a family losing faith in her, and a kingdom growing dangerously hostile, even Maelyn begins to wonder if she is truly a real princess. And if her riches will turn to rags once againâ?¦.
The Nine Princesses Novellas is a series that chronicles the adventures of an unconventional family of princesses, the struggles they face in a kingdom often hostile to their humble origins, and the day-to-day dramas of nine young women whose personalities often clash like swords. Fans of Gail Carson Levine and Shannon Hale would enjoy this young-adult series. Recommended for ages 12 and up. For more information go to www.anitavalleart.com
Novella Length: 16,000 words
Genre: Young Adult Fiction
Mood: Heartwarming/Romantic/Funny
Content: No violence. No sex. Mild romance.
Audience: For teenagers and anyone who enjoys fairy tales for adults, medieval stories, and literary novels
When I was five years old, I told everyone I wanted to be a princess when I grew up. And I was dead serious.
Umâ?¦ okay, it hasn’t happened yet. The U.S. is currently suffering from a sad shortage of princes to marry, handsome or otherwise. So I do the next best thing: I write about princesses! And I love every minute of it.
The idea for this series sprung from a desire to write about a large family of princesses. I settled on nine because there are already three Musketeers, five Chinese Brothers, seven dwarves, and twelve dancing princesses. So nine seemed good. Yeah. That’s how my logic works.
I’m not actually adopted. But I share a lot in common with Maelyn. We’re both the eldest child in our families, a little bossy sometimes, addicted to reading, and not always as confidant as we like to appear. But remember, Maelyn is a princess. And I’m still working on that.
Aside from being an author, I’m an artist who draws cute cartoons of doggies. A mommy of three boys who hate princesses (but like the dogs). A retail employee with a job that seriously cuts into my writing time. And a part-time college student. I barely have time to write this bio.
If YOU have more time than I do, I’d be forever grateful if you’d would “like” this page, or write a review of my book. Thanks so much for supporting an indie author! God bless you.

Drowning Mermaids (Sacred Breath Series, Book 1)
by Nadia Scrieva
The deadly northern seas are growing unsettled…
None know this better than Aazuria Vellamo, who must conceal her physical abnormalities in order to masquerade as a normal human being. She is the proud Princess of Adlivun, fleeing from the threat of war in her underwater kingdom to regroup with her sisters and bodyguards in Alaska. This refuge holds unexpected surprises, for she meets a somber gentleman in a dark corner who offers her assistance. Captain Trevain Murphy is a successful king crab fisherman who has spent his life building his empire above the sea, and knows nothing of the greater empire beneath the surface. When an elegant dancer captures his attention, he becomes fascinated with her old-fashioned speech and unique mannerisms. Learning that her father has recently died, he cannot resist extending kindness and offering to be her benefactor.Neither the captain nor the princess can imagine that their lives will become forcibly entwined as a common enemy threatens both of their worlds…
Praise for Drowning Mermaids:Â
“Scrieva’s ability to infuse a slight sense of irony into even the most somber passage was a sheer joy to read. The occasional use of sarcasm at the expense of the characters made the reader feel party to a private joke, and created a comfortable intimacy. For this reason, more than any other, I’ll be picking up the sequel Fathoms of Forgiveness (Sacred Breath, #2).” -Â Sadie Forsythe, Author of The Weeping Empress
“…A hot romance between two unlikely characters, a war raging unseen to human eyes, and the unexpected adventure of a man who thought the best part of his life was behind him, only to find out it has just begun…I don’t know what I was more impressed with, the superb writing of the author, or her creative genius. Either way this novel gets my hearty recommendation for those who enjoy any type of fantasy.” -Â J.T. Thomas, Goodreads reviewer
More reader comments:Â
“I found this book to be engaging, intelligent and well crafted. The author Nadia Scrieva has a BA in Anthropology and English. It shows. Plot, pacing and editing are all well done. Interesting anthropological tidbits are sprinkled in.” -Â Wren Doloro
“Ms. Scrieva uses a Darwinian approach to the lore that is refreshing and scientific… I’m not saying this will be the new Harry Potter, but only because it is not meant for children’s eyes.” -Â Thomas M. Bernal

The Glass Wall – ( The Glass Wall Series – Book 1)
by Madison Adler
Overview of the Glass Wall Series:
What if humans were more powerful than they thought? What if an alien race had a reason to keep humanity entrenched in fear? And what if ancient beings that we’ve met before were still trying to protect us?
And just what if the fate of Earth depended upon an average 17-year-old girl with a few secrets of her own?
Would she discover that the power of love was truly the strongest of all?
The adventure begins with the promise of romance in “The Glass Wall”:
17-year-old Sydney’s only interest in life is flying under the radar.
But destiny has other plans when the tall, handsome, formal, and unusual Rafael Channing moves into the neighborhood. Athletic and with killer looks, he wears black eyeliner like a magician and seems to be watching Sydney’s every move.
What starts out as a light-hearted investigation with her gadget-happy foster father takes a serious turn when she discovers that Rafael isn’t human. Add Jareth, the country’s latest rock sensation, into the mix and Sydney is swept into a mysterious world of Tulpas, the Fae, and the Brotherhood of the Snake.
Sydney doesn’t know she’s a Blue Thread of Fate. She doesn’t know the fate of humanity depends on her choice of whom to trust–Jareth or Rafael. And she certainly doesn’t know that she’s taken the first step on the unexpected path of love.
Ages 12+ [83,605 words - 352 pages of a 6X9 book ]

The Triad has other plans. Plans that involve capturing the crystals and using their powers for themselves. Plans that involve murder, madness and pain. They have been waiting a long, long time for the Warrior to awaken.   Â
 Â
From the magic swords Shakari and Antare, to the gigantic reptilian bird known as Taradahn, to the mysterious worm of power called Ishak, to the magnificent tree city of Frizl, Larissya’s story is full of wonder–and darkness.
Will she triumph over the forces of evil?
Will she obtain the power of the crystals?
Will she be able to save her friends?
Or will they die at her side?

New Breed (#1) (Dragon’s Fire)
by Danielle Kazemi
When dark creatures begin attacking…dragons rise.
Dragons, creatures of myth and legend, are long declared
fictitious beings which never existed. For Annabel, one chance encounter in a
darkened alley opens her eyes to the truth of their existence.
On a night when all she wanted was to forget everything, Annabel Wells stumbles across a dark creature known as the
Unseen which feasts upon the energy of humans. Before she’s attacked, a young
man comes to her rescue, breathing fire. He’s unlike anyone she’s ever seen before and she can’t help but wonder if she made up the part about him breathing fire. People don’t do that…
She soon finds herself befriending a
group of dragons while dodging the attacks of the Unseen – creatures made of pure darkness which feast upon the energy of humans. Her only hope for survival is trusting in their abilities. If only she hadn’t just met them a day before, she’d feel much more comfortable. And if Crispin didn’t look so handsome, she might be even more worried.

4. Repeat.
Protecting humans from dangerous magical creatures is all in a day’s work for a faerie training to be a guardian. Seventeen-year-old Violet Fairdale knows this better than anyone–she’s about to become the best guardian the Guild has seen in years. That is, until one of her assignments–a human boy who shouldn’t even be able to see her–follows her into the fae realm. Now she’s broken Guild Law, a crime that could lead to her expulsion.
The last thing Vi wants to do is spend any more time with the boy who got her into this mess, but the Guild requires that she return Nate to his home and make him forget everything he’s discovered of the fae realm. Easy, right? But Nate and Vi are about to land themselves in even bigger trouble–and it’ll take all Vi’s training to get them out alive.

Deepforge
by Ron Washburn
In the time before the legends of Velland stood a citadel, a massive city built into a mountain. It was called Deepforge. It stood as the center of the known world, the apex of civilization. It had existed for untold eons, so long that no scholarly dwarf was sure of when exactly it had been built. Legend said that it had stood before the world was formed by the solar cataclysm, forged in the intense heat for the dwarves themselves by some unknown God.
Deepforge was a cave city built into a mountain with high ceilings and ornate construction making up the building inside. In reality, it was an active volcano that the dwarves had tamed before the time of written history. Using incredibly ingenious designs, they fashioned ways to keep the pressure of the constantly rising magma in check and harness the energy. The result was a massive forge right in the center of the city, where amazing creations of metal were fashioned by the highly skilled forge craftsmen. All throughout the city were ports to the magma, venting off the pressure in a very specific way, as regulated by the city’s engineers. These engineers utilized the energy of the natural vents to power anything from basic steam to water condensing and purification units, to elaborate engines used for nearly automatic elevators to the other levels, and even some self-propelled vehicles and electrical generation. It was a city of geniuses…Little did the citizens of Deepforge Empire know that their world was about to be invaded by a sinister force bent on destruction. What happened next would change the history of Ahl-Thoor-Hees.

He’d expected her to be frightened by his kindâ?¦it was in all the stories. It was forbidden for Merman to show themselves to human kind, and yet, she hadn’t tried to kill him. It hadn’t been his intention to take her from her world, back into his, but she had nothing to lose, and he had everything to gain.

The Brew (episode 1)
by Stuart Turton
This is the first episode of a mysterious, magical, moving and monstrously magnificent tale about a (very very old) young boy and a world which is quite literally half good and half evil. For the boy and for the world EVERYTHING is about to change, and definitely not for the better.
I have decided to publish the first part of the novel, up to the first ‘cliff hanger’ whilst I am editing the rest, partly as a teaser, but mostly to get some feedback from people other than friends (who obviously all love it!). Stuart C Turton on Facebook for feedback, and further information. Thank you, and I hope you enjoy it.

Heritage (Dragon Song)
by HG Stevens
Time does not pass for the dragon as it does for man. Man rushes to rule, to take and possess, with the passage of his days sifting through the hour glass in his soul. His war is with time and he secrets his treasures away so that no one takes them in the time he has remaining. His alliances are built on the frail loyalty of human greed and he can be betrayed by the same.
For the dragon, time is no master. A dragon waits for his treasures, knowing the right time to take them will come to him. He neither fears man nor trusts him, building his alliances out of choice, not need. He guards his secreted treasures with vengeful breath and burning eyes that carry the sure promise of death.
It is because of this that only dragons can be trusted with certain secrets. An age of man passed on Earth in which the secrets of men became the bloody demise of millions. But a new age had been granted in which dragons and men walked side by side. In this age, the secrets of men would be man’s salvation and the dragons, their trusted keepers.

Oathed
by JM Guillen
Some stories are far more than they seem.
Contained within this volume are two such stories, dark tales with connections to each other that are not simple to discover. They are Irrational stories, which hint at a strange mystery that dwells beneath every world.
First, we meet Thom, a peacekeeper who is enhanced with strange alchemy that gives him haunting visions of the future. It is his task to keep some futures from happening, a task that takes him through shadowed alleyways, and into the underground lair of a depraved madman.
Then, we wander the deep wood with Tommy Maple, who is the living embodiment of Autumn shadows and the hunt. Tommy’s world is an eldritch, fae world, a fable-driven realm that exists beneath our own, where the innocent are lost, and the shadows are hungry.
Both are protectors. Both know more than most.
Both may be lost, or mad, before all is over.
Each story dances around the other, whispering and hinting at connections, some of which have not yet been revealed. They are each stanzas of the Paean of Sundered dreams- a series of stories which weaves together, across a vast multi-verse made of shadows and the dreams of unmentionable things.
Some stories are far more than they seem. They spiral into a hole of whispering darkness, madness and despair. They lure. They hunger. They cast long shadows.
Some men are Oathed to chase those shadows.

Gifts With No Giver: A Love Affair With Truth
by Nirmala
Gifts With No Giver is collection of nondual
spiritual poetry written from the Heart by Nirmala, who is a spiritual
teacher in the Advaita tradition. These poems attempt to capture the
undying presence of love in all of its forms. Let your soul be deeply
touched by the Rumi-like words of a lover drunk with passion for the
Truth.
Here is a sample poem:
truth is too simple for words
before thought gets tangled up in nouns and verbs
there is a wordless sound
a deep breathless sigh
of overwhelming relief
to find the end of fiction
in this ordinary
yet extraordinary moment
when words are recognized
as words
and truth is recognized
as everything else

The Bench
by Kevin Farran
What pulses surge through the heart that lays beneath the mundane frocks of the office mouse?
Jenny, whose literary aspirations suffocate in the corner cubicle of a large city publisher, is innocently deluded by a chance trail of love left by a phantom author. The trail of delusion tears at her cloistered life extracting her dreams and when she emerges from her musty chrysalis to confront the author, it costs her, her job and sanity, but releases a far greater power.

Essence Of A Dark Soul
by Faye Cross
When the soul speaks, its best to listen even if what you hear shows the blackness that resides there.
Feel the pain, anguish, love, lust and confusion that comes with living. How much can a soul soak up before it’s too much and whither’s and dies? Don’t hide the truth that lies within the fold of your soul, share it and reveal the truth that is you.
Here you will find the truth of my soul – Poetry that reveals the darkness within my soul but is there a light at the end?

Every Groundhog Has Its Day
by R.E. Skibiski
In EVERY GROUNDHOG HAS ITS DAY, a humdrum groundhog goes out on Groundhog Day Eve to gather enough food to tide him over, for he loathes the next day’s holiday and plans on waiting it out in his den. Feeling overlooked by all the folks who choose to pay attention to Pennsylvania’s far-famed groundhog, he’s not a happy camper at all. While he’s out searching, it happens that some flies on rotting berries spot the woebegone woodchuck, strike up a conversation with him, and after hearing his gripes, give him some advice. Contrary to what you might think, such advice isn’t one bit rotten, and in the end, the insightful insects’ pep talk helps the groundhog see things anew.

Seven Poems and Songs from Spirit Thorn
by Zacharias O’Bryan
These poems and songs are excerpted from the novel “Spirit Thorn, a Tale of Parallel Worlds.” Zacharias O’Bryan invites you to be his guest in a world where music, life and the swirl of atomic particles are one. Molly Greenfingers (the monster), Kestrelle (the young being from another dimension) and Braden Swift (the human teen boy) will be your guides.
(The longer work, Spirit Thorn, A Tale of Parallel Worlds, by Zacharias O’Bryan, poses the question “Do parallel worlds exist?” Searching for proof, Professors Rodger & Cassie Swift vanish. Kestrelle, an other-world girl claiming to know their fate, tells their son Braden he must brave a whitewater, tooth-sprouting river into a land where wise vultures predict the future and blue minds inhabit lava caves. Only two powers can help: Kestrelle’s Blood Thorn and Braden’s vine-painted guitar. (
This important new novel by Zacharias O’Bryan, unifies spiritual ethics with both ecological mandates and the mind-bending cosmology of cutting edge physics. Written as a science-fiction/fantasy adventure, Spirit Thorn is capturing the hearts, hopes and tears of all Seekers — from the precocious ten-year-old to the questing adult.)

A Month of Mornings Vol 1 (A Month of Mornings Series)
by Felipe Adan Lerma
Please Note: The complete four volumes are now available in one book, “A Month of Mornings – Four Months” and Volume One in the series is available FREE at participating outlets.
“A Month of Mornings” is a four part journey of discovering awareness by notating my mornings. Â My other series, “Everyday Gratitudes” then ventured to find a moment of gratitude each day.
After four months, I felt I had grounded and recognized myself enough, I felt I could concentrate on the fuller days’ series, seeking to recognize or find my point of gratitude each day.
SPECIAL NOTE:
My special thanks to all the folks who have clicked “Liked” for my small books.
But why guess
try a Volume One of one of my gratitude or inspiration series FREE. Â Please see my site page for participating listings :
yoga-adan.com/2012/04/01/national-poetry-month-april-2012-free-poetry-prosepoems-photopoems-artphotopoems/
My poetry is free verse style, and my photography is of the every day.
Please realize, via my available samples, and Amazon’s “Look Inside” feature, that these images and verse are not meant to be exciting or shocking.
My intent is to provide work that inspires a small sense of inspiration or gratitude for living life day to day, with a wonder of common things and occurrences that are accessible to most everyone.
And my hope is that they will also encourage the reader or viewer to explore their own daily world around them.
I myself prefer to be as constructive as possible in my analysis of what I experience, and as respecting of other’s views as possible, and hope this provides some honest means to preview before purchasing.
Thanks you so much, sincerely,
Adan
GENERALÂ DESCRIPTION
My first volume in my first series of mini-ebooks, “A Month of Mornings” is a search for my day’s waking awareness in the living of each ordinary day.
As in my other volumes, these verses are especially appealing to me, having moved here recently from Texas with my wife, to her home state.
Verses like these express feelings and thoughts about my everyday life, and help me find meaning that may be less apparent to me without this exercise.
Like my other series of mini-ebooks, I focus on what is happening each day, on waking, in the course of each regular day. Small thanks, gratitudes, and awareness found casually in the day. Â In this simplicity, I seek to find meaning for each day.
Please also visit my Amazon Author’s Page for more information about me, plus a listing of all my available titles.

Growth
by Karin Cox
If the poet’s job is to provide a reflection of an entire world in a single teardrop, Karin Cox’s haunting anthology, “Growth,” does so admirably.
This collection of her finest poemsâ??some previously published in anthologies around the world, others new; some rhyming, some free formâ??delivers beautiful sentiments, melancholy moments and some delightfully lyrical figurative language, all the while charting the poet’s personal growth over several years.
While introspective, Karin’s work avoids self-obsession by interspersing political and broader global themes with the personal. What results is a whimsical anthology that brings to mind the challenges of just being human and fitting into a world that sometimes feels like a tight squeeze.
A must-read for lovers of the English language and a wonderful gift for poetry aficionados, “Growth” will continue to bloom in the reader’s mind long after the last page has been turned.

Holding it Together with Band-Aids and Safety Pins
by Peggy Eldridge Love
An engaging poetic look at the�social, emotional, economic, and political struggles of the early twenty-first century that impact the lives of both young and old. It finds people where they are, who they are, and what they are doing to try to cope and understand their changing world. It whispers of the mysteries of complex relationships to the anguish of facing incomprehensible grief. It speaks of you and it speaks of me. Holding it Together with�Band-Aids and Safety Pins�is the second poetic offering of poet/playwright Peggy Eldridge-Love and dovetails nicely with her first award-winning collection, You Beckon. Peggy is also the artist of the cover watercolor entitled Uprising.

High Country Haiku – Winter
by Gary Wayne Clark
When a photographer trades the urban jungle of Los Angeles for winter in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, poetry is revealed among hushed footfalls on new fallen snow.
A Haiku is an unrhymed poem of three lines containing 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively, typically epigrammatic or suggestive, referring in some way to nature or the seasons of the year. Simplicity – wrapped around a deeper meaning. After escaping the urban jungle of Los Angeles, I began a photographic and lyrical journal to document life above 8,000 feet in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. I wanted to capture the native spirit of a simpler life in America’s High Country, but somewhere along the way, I discovered something more. What started out as a chronicle of nature’s change of seasons devolved into something deeper, something spiritual; a quest to deliberately seek a road that few had traveled. Listening for the resonance of the elusive harmonic tenor of the universe, the divine rhythm of nature can be as difficult to discern as trying to distinguish a forest among the trees. Our chaotic world has become a blur; the speed at which we live our lives is spiraling out of control. We just need to slow down to ascertain a fresh perspective. Some say that this life is a journey, not a destination. So come along with me on a new journey, a journey to a simpler life, a journey of personal enlightenment, a journey to the world of High Country Haiku. I trust you will enjoy the ride.

Kit and Kitty in Love
by W.C. Fielstra
Looking for something really special for the love of your life? Â Tell your sweetheart you are completely and madly in love, just like Kit and Kitty. Â They are never too busy or proud to express that they are heads over tails in love with each other. Â Vividly imagined and hand painted by W.C. Fielstra, Kit and Kitty in Love is an ode to love, to fill any romantic occasion with passion.
Who are Kit and Kitty? They are an anthropomorphic fox and vixen couple. Â A matched set of romantic fools who cannot get enough of each other. Each scene in the book depicts a tender moment of mutual heartfelt connection. Kit is always soft, caring, and tender, trying to satisfy the every need of his adoring mate. Kitty is his persistent, playful, wanting, and willing partner. They are in an all too perfect relationship, with only a little pain and almost no pride. When they kiss in the rain, linger in bed, or splash in the tub, they are saying, “I really love you – and I love you unconditionally.”
Why wait? Go ahead and express that you are heads over tails in love.

Lonely Nights: The Archives 1994-1998
by MJ Bouvier
Avant Garde poetry, from inside the mind of a confused patient mind.Thoughts of the inside, from mind to body, soul to heart and life to death. Writing with a free mind and free flowing thoughts without rules, without expectations. What went on in the mind is what went on on paper.
Poetry not for the weak heart or easily offended person. Pushed to the limits while staying within the realm of decency for almost anyone to read.
Left alone to read at night share with me the joys and sorrows of the pains and pleasures you feel and anguish your selves in.

Scarlet Awakening
by A.C. Haury
If your heart could tell you a story what would it say? Every emotion, every memory has a tale to tell if you will lend your ear. Every heart beat, a whisper, every flutter, a song. Awaken your heart and listen to the beauty, and heartbreak within.
“Scarlet Awakening” is a small collection of poems by A.C. Haury that has themes that appeal to the human heart.

Poetry Resistance
by Ron Koppelberger Jr.
Four books of poetry designed for the discriminating reader and the poetry enthusiast. Imagine the whispers that we all hear when we are thinking about the things we’ve lost or the things we once cherished……the things that everyone has forgotten or left to the dust. Imagine poetry that takes you to that place with devoted spirit, imagine the moment you were born and what path you may or may not have taken……this is poetry that makes you think about those things, maybe a tear or a smile, maybe a joyous remembrance of the things we hold dear to our hearts. So forget the dark monsters of this world and take a moment to contemplate the words, the resistance…..the poetry of resistance.

Poems of Death: Time for Eternity
by James Hilgendorf
Fifty-seven short pieces about the future of America, and the American Dream. “Poems of Death” refers to a passage in Walt Whitman’s “Democratic Vistas”, in which he states: “In the future of these States, must arise poets immenser far, and make great poems of death.” Not really poems as such, these poetic pieces explore a dimension of eternity and a new spirituality that is beginning to emerge in America and across the world.

The Red Lips Chronicles
by Amilee Turner
The Red Lips Chronicles is a personal, captivating, and inspirational collection of poems and short essays by Turner.
“Poetry, in my opinion, for many poets is a form of revelations and confessions that are written throughout a poet’s lifetime that share the many conflicts of their minds, their deepest visions, and exposes the poet at his or her most vulnerable. This collection is a series of intense and personal poetry that I have composed that I am allowing myself to present for publication in hopes of reaching out as a young woman to others. This collection, though cynical in many aspects, contains a series of my most personal poems that I know many may feel connected to and that is a profound goal for me.”

Fools Rush In (Weddings by Bella Book #1): A Novel
by Janice Thompson
Bella Rossi may be nearing thirty, but her life is just starting to get interesting. When her Italian-turned-Texan parents hand over the family wedding planning business, Bella is determined not to let them down. She quickly books a “Boot Scoot’n” wedding that would make any Texan proud. There’s only one catch–she’s a country music numbskull because her family only listens to Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. Where will she find a DJ on such short notice who knows his Alan Jackson from his Keith Urban?
When a misunderstanding leads her to the DJ (and man) of her dreams, things start falling into place. But with a family like hers, nothing is guaranteed. Can the perfect Texan wedding survive a pizza-making uncle with mob ties, an aunt who is a lawsuit waiting to happen, and a massive delivery of 80 cowboy boots? And will Bella ever get to plan her own wedding?
Book one in the Weddings by Bella series, Fools Rush In is fun, fresh, and full of surprises. Readers will love the flavorful combination of Italian and Tex-Mex, and the hilarity that ensues when cultures clash.

TOWARD A NEW BEGINNING (Arkansas Valley #1)
by r. William Rogers
2003 Christy Award Winner for “Excellance In Christian Fiction.”
Although Sam Bartlett enjoyed a successful horse-supplying business in Independence, Missouri, he was none-the-less envious of the hundreds of folks who passed through on their way west. Unable to stand it any longer, he convinces his wife, Judith, to pull up stakes, pack up their three-year-old son, Tom, and accompany him on a journey that turns out to be much more than either of them could have imagined.
The trek quickly develops into one of extreme hardship and survival that is further complicated by: dangerous weather, raging river crossings, unique personalities in the wagons, hostile Indian attacks, hunger, water shortage vengeance, courage, romance, and biblical principles.
The determined traveler’s abilitiy to effectively defend themselves is pushed to the very limits as One Eye’s maurading warriors harrass and attack them repeatedly, with devastating results. With four of the train’s beloved children having been taken captive, the inner strength of the beleagured pioneers is sorely tested and a handful of the men set out to recover the children.
After valiant attempts to rescue their children fail miserably, they are forced to return empty-handed. Against all that is held sacred, the members of the wagon train are forced to leave them behind while they do their best to evade the heathens and continue their struggle for survival with barely enough water left to keep the animals going.
With all hope of ever seeing their children again now gone, it is the valor and ingenuity of the beautiful Comanche woman, Birsdong, that is yet to be heard from.

Out of Control (The Kincaid Brides Book #1)
by Mary Connealy
Julia Gilliland has always been interested in the natural world around her. She particularly enjoys her outings to the cavern near her father’s homestead, where she explores for fossils and formations, and plans to write a book about her discoveries. The cave seems plenty safe–until the day a mysterious intruder steals the rope she uses to find her way out.
Rafe Kincaid has spent years keeping his family’s cattle ranch going, all without help from his two younger brothers, who fled the ranch–and Rafe’s controlling ways–as soon as they were able. He’s haunted by one terrible day at the cave on a far-flung corner of the Kincaid property, a day that changed his life forever. Ready to put the past behind him, he plans to visit the cave one final time. He sure doesn’t expect to find a young woman trapped in one of the tunnels–or to be forced to kiss her!
Rafe is more intrigued by Julia than any woman he’s ever known, but how can he overlook her fascination with the cave he despises? And when his developing relationship with Julia threatens his chance at reconciliation with his brothers, will he be forced to choose between the family bonds that could restore his trust and the love that could heal his heart?

After three long years of scrimping and saving to buy tickets for their passage to America, Roald and Ingeborg Bjorklund, along with their son, Thorliff, finally arrive at the docks of New York City. It was the promise of free land that fed their dream and lured them from their beloved home high above the fjords of Norway in 1880. Together with Roald’s brother Carl and his family, they will build a good life in a new land that promises untold wealth and vast farmsteads for their children. As they join the throngs of countless immigrants passing through Castle Garden, they soon discover that nothing is as they had envisioned it. Appalled by the horrid stories of fellow immigrants bilked of all their money and forced to live in squalid living conditions, the Bjorklunds continue their long journey by train as far as Grand Forks. From there a covered wagon takes them into Dakota Territory, where they settle on the banks of the Red River. But there was no way for them to foresee the price they will have to pay to wrest a living from the indomitable land. The virgin prairie refuses to yield its treasure without a struggle. Will they be strong enough to overcome the hardships of that first winter?

An Amish settlement in Ohio has run afoul of a law requiring their children to attend public school. Caleb Bender and his neighbors are arrested for neglect, with the state ordering the children be placed in an institution.

Searching for a place to relocate his family where no such laws apply, Caleb learns there’s inexpensive land for sale in Mexico, a place called Paradise Valley. Despite rumors of instability in the wake of the Mexican revolution, the Amish community decides this is their answer. And since it was Caleb’s idea, he and his family will be the pioneers. They will send for the others once he’s established a foothold and assessed the situation.
Caleb’s daughters are thrown into turmoil. Rachel doesn’t want to leave Jake. Her sister, Emma, who has been courting Levi Mullet, fears her dreams of marriage will be dashed. Miriam has never had a beau and is acutely aware there will be no prospects in Mexico.
Once there, they meet Domingo, a young man and guide who takes a liking to Miriam, something her father would never approve. While Paradise Valley is everything they’d hoped it would be, it isn’t long before the bandits start giving them trouble, threatening to upset the fledgling Amish settlement, even putting their lives in danger.

Greater Than Rubies (Christian Romance) (The Jewel Trilogy)
by Hallee Bridgeman
Robin Bartlett said, “Yes!” Will she say, “I do,” when the big day arrives?
From his cultured handsome looks to his vast fortune, Antonio “Tony” Viscolli is every red-blooded American girl’s dream match. It doesn’t hurt that he completely loves and adores Robin with all his heart and soul from practically the moment they first meet. Robin comes from a blistering past, struggling and fighting for the survival of herself and her two younger half-sisters in a cold, cruel world. By the time Tony thaws her heart, she has known hunger, poverty, violence, and want. Robin never had a chance to dream of a white wedding gown or a prince charming. Instead, her dreams were nightmares dark and clouded with fear and desperation.
For months, Tony courted the blond beauty with the sapphire eyes. He teased Robin and pursued her. He showered with attention, respect, and charm. He covered her in diamonds, sapphires, and rubies. Tony satisfied every heart’s desire. Finally, Robin came to understand God’s love for her as imitated by the unconditional love Tony freely offered. Then, on a sunny Florida beach, Tony proposed and Robin eagerly said “Yes!”
Back in bitter cold Boston, doubts about becoming a billionaire’s bride begin to crowd out her hopes for happiness. Robin worked for tips until just a few months before Tony proposed on that sunny stretch of sand. In fact, she waited his table less than half a year earlier. Having no experience facing these challenges, Robin struggles to cope feeling the pressures of relocating; of unreliable transportation; of the never-ending details of the shower, the ceremony, the reception, the honeymoon; of worries that her sisters will smoothly transition along with her; of changing her name; all while dealing with her father’s very serious legal problems.
As the date draws inexorably near and the pressure mounts, Robin begins to grasp the scale of her fiancé’s vast material wealth and holdings, the responsibilities of the virtual empire he commands. She witnesses his generosity when he takes on a young protégé straight from the tough South Boston streets.
Ultimately, Robin questions whether she is truly the girl of Tony’s dreams. Is she the woman God has made for him? In taking her on as a wife, would she act as helpmeet or poison apple? In truly loving Tony, would it be better to bind herself to him for all eternity or return his freedom? When her nightmares return in full force, they remind Robin of an even deeper and more terrifying prospect. Will she give in to her insecurities and cancel Boston’s “Royal Wedding” for good? Or, with God’s guidance, will Tony sacrifice everything to prove to his beloved Robin her true worth?

Church Boyz’ Series – Book 1 (Rod of the Wicked)
by H.H. Fowler
Imagine sharing the spotlight with a ruthless blackmailer, whose only intention, is to take all of which you’ve worked hard to achieve – your wealth, your fame, and your church of seven thousand members. For Pastor Leroy Paxton of Mount Moriah Baptist Church, this is no imagination. Five years ago, he committed a toxic sin and almost lost his life trying to cover it up. He now comes face to face with his past, which haunts him from the pulpit to his bedroom. And the only way out of this nightmare is to make a decision that could cost him everything.
Then imagine being mentored by one of the most revered men, Abraham Winder, whose stance on accountability and sexual purity is taught rigorously within the Mount Moriah mentoring program, only to discover your mentor is not what you expect. This is the reality for Dominic Housten, one of Abraham’s closet and trusted protégés, who accidentally stumbles upon a scene that left him frozen in disbelief. As Dominic struggles with betrayal, he confides in the pastor’s daughter – the only woman he’d secretly loved for years. The only problem with that is the pastor’s daughter is married to Phillip Benjamin, a deacon of the church and an extremely jealous man, who suspects Dominic’s intention runs deeper than just a casual friendship.
The intertwined lives of these four men show that the righteous are not perfect, and at times, are tempted to forsake the ways of God. As each of these men battle to regain their focus, they will come to realize that the consequences of their sins are far greater than they’d anticipated – just one stupid mistake could produce a lifetime of hell!

Fresh out of college, Aggie Milliken thinks she’s prepared for anything life can throw her way. Think again, Aggie!
After the abrupt loss of her sister and brother-in-law, Aggie is stunned to find herself the sole guardian of their eight lively children. If learning basic parenting skills wasn’t complicated enough, she must also battle the children’s half-crazed grandmother, survive a massive remodeling project, and navigate the waters of new friendships-alone.
She has little experience with children and none with housekeeping, and it shows. What she has going for her is grit, a double dose of determination, and the confidence that this is exactly where the Lord wants her to be. With an unlimited P-mail account and enough hymns to keep her spirits bolstered, she tackles one catastrophe after another.
It seems like nothing Aggie does is right, but ready or not, here she comes!

Hearts Crossing (Woodland)
by Marianne Evans
“How do you feel about God, Collin?”
“I don’t.”
Collin Edwards, a former parishioner at Woodland Church of Christ, has renounced God without apology, his faith drained away in the face of a tragic loss.
Daveny Montgomery cares deeply about her relationship with God and the community of Woodland. But lately she’s been in a rut, longing for something to reignite her spiritual enthusiasm.
A beautification project at Woodland seems the answer for them both. Daveny spearheads the effort and Collin assistsâ??but only with the renovations, and only because he wants to know Daveny better.
Despite his deepening feelings for her, even stepping into the common areas of the church stirs tension and anger.
Can Daveny trust in Collin’s fledgling return to faith? And can Collin ever accept the fact that while he turned his back on God, God never turned his back on him?

Until Forever (Women of Prayer)
by Darlene Shortridge
Jessi hung up the phone. That was the fifth time she tried calling home with no answer. She had just started eating lunch when she remembered she had forgotten to call home. It was something she would never forgive herself for.
It was something she would never forgive herself forâ?¦
It wasn’t until lunchtime that Jessi remembered to call home. No answer. She tried calling several times while she ate her lunch. Still no answer. She closed her eyes and rested her arms and head on her desk. She breathed deeply, wishing she had remembered to call earlier.
Until Forever is a story of a young family that is torn apart by the devastating effects of alcoholism. Can healing take place in a relationship when an unforgivable act is committed? Will Jessi’s pain and Mark’s guilt keep them apart forever, or will unforeseen circumstances bind them together?
Darlene Shortridge attended Alderson Broaddus College as a voice major. She found she was more passionate about her writing classes than her vocal classes. She left college early and since that time has written various projects such as Bible School Curriculum and poetry. She has also written and recorded a CD of original music. She lives abroad with her husband and two children. Until Forever is her first novel.

A Joyful Break (Dreams of Plain Daughters)
by Diane Craver
After her mother’s untimely death, a twenty-year-old Amish woman has a difficult decision to make: Choose to break from the Plain community and her boyfriend and live in the English world permanently…or join the Amish church.
Rachel Hershberger wants to get away from her Amish home in Fields Corner, Ohio. For a year she’s been trying to fill her mother’s shoes by taking care of her father and siblings. She quit her job at the bakery so she would have more time to clean and cook at home. Before her mother died, Rachel was positive she wanted to marry Samuel Weaver, but now she can’t think about wedding plans. She blames her father for her mother’s death. If they had installed a phone in their barn or a shanty, her mother might have received medical help in time to save her life. Her mother’s death has made Rachel question if she should be baptized and join the church. She wonders if non-Amish women live longer and have less stress. Maybe her forty-four-year old mother would still be alive had she left the Amish lifestyle like her sister Carrie did.
When her Aunt Carrie invites her to go to the beach, Rachel decides the time away will help her to decide whether to join the Amish church or to live in the English world. She is conflicted because she loves Samuel and her family. Instead of a relaxing time away, disturbing events happen while Rachel’s in Florida. A photographer snaps troublesome pictures of Rachel because of her famous senator uncle, and a handsome and charming college student falls in love with Rachel.

Praise for The Maze
“Jason Brannon shows us a place of reckoning and judgments, of creatures that wait to ensnare us. The Maze is a novel of damnation and deliverance, of corridors fortified with death and spirituality. I found a bit of myself in The Maze.” ~ Steven Lloyd, author of The Wooden Box
“From his style, you’d think Jason Brannon was the dark double of Ray Bradbury. He cares more about character and realism than most writers I’ve read and his plots flow like well-orchestrated music. Indeed, Brannon’s writing has a classical feel, reminiscent of the best traditional work in the genre, even when he’s going for gut-wrenching terror and torture in-extremis.” ~ Michael Arnzen, International Horror Guild Award winning author of Grave Markings (Dell Abyss)
“Warning! The Maze may get inside your head â?? and stay there.” ~ Harry Shannon, author of Night of the Beast
“Brannon’s work reminds me of the glory days of The Twilight Zone, when it was in black and white and carried bylines like Beaumont and Matheson. Often surreal, sometimes disturbing and sometimes enlightening, there’s real substance in his tales that few of his contemporaries can match.” ~ Mike Oliveri, Bram Stoker Award Winning Author of Deadliest of the Species
“It is a rare treat to find a modern writer whose work is truly a mirror of the darkest corners of the world we all share. Every one of his haunting stories is infused with clear ideas and startling notions submerged in a straightforward and engaging prose. His visions linger with you long after the book has been closed.” ~ Stephen Susco, Screenwriter (The Grudge, The Grudge 2, Pulse, Red)

Foundlings (The Peleg Chronicles, book one)
by Matthew Christian Harding
Awarded Best Book of the Year 2010-2011 from The Old Schoolhouse Magazine!
#1 Bestseller in Historical Fiction from Christian Book Distributors Spring 2011!
#1 Bestseller in Fantasy from Christian Book Distributors Summer 2012!
Praise for Foundlings, Book One of The Peleg Chronicles,“Foundlings is one of those books that caused everything else in my life to be put on hold so I could finish it. Being that I am a 31-year-old mother of three, not many novels can claim that these days. Foundlings was just that good. It was a story that truly impacted me, challenged me, and deepened my faith. It now holds a place of honor on my bookshelf… I will always cherish it.” – Itsthatonegirl
“Can I just say I am overwhelmed with thankfulness for this book! Really, I’m at a loss for the appropriate words to give this book the honor that it’s due.” – My Life On A Taffy Pull
“This book gets not only approval but a standing ovation. Foundlings not only gives you a ride that combats any roller coaster it gives you a true sense of heroism and family discussions that center on the glory of God’s creation and Word.” – Under the Golden Apple tree
Overview of Foundlings…
The Northern realms. Circa 2000 B.C.
It was in the days of Peleg when the world was divided. After the flood of Noah, after the Tower of Babel and the dispersion … when beasts were more numerous than men.
Two orphans, Thiery and Suzie.
The Lady Mercy without a protector.
Priests of the dragon, Baal, and the Queen of Heaven are seeking sacrifices for their false gods.
The Death Hunt!
In a land of giants and dragons, and men running from the knowledge of their Creator, wickedness spreads as a plague, but a remnant of faithful souls shine in the darkness.
More Praise…
“Next to the Narnia series your book has been the only other book that my kids have begged me to read. My boys remind me several times a day that this is one of their favorite books.” – the Myers family, florida
“At first, I was a bit hesitant because I am not a giant and dragon type of girl. However, I found myself anxious each night to indulge in the lives of these notorious characters. Such an uplifting reading experience involving courage and faith … A read aloud at its best.” – Mom of six
“Mr. Harding has certainly written books that have great potential to become classic pieces of literature. There is excitement with every sentence. You won’t want to put the book down, and when you come to the end…you’re going to want more!” – Mona Lisa

Those Society Things
by Mary C. Findley
Excerpted from Chasing the Texas Wind
Hamilton Jessup manages to push away the flashbacks of his “War hero” days at San Jacinto to get through his days as a clerk. He also pushes away the attempts by his friend Dan Costain to get him to rely on God instead of his own dwindling resources. Instead, a marriage of convenience seems the perfect solution, and Celebrity Singer Maeve Collinswood the perfect sham wife, charitable to wounded soldiers like himself. If they can just keep each other at arms’ length and keep all their secrets safe, it should work out just fine.

Experience epic spiritual warfare across the natural and supernatural planes as told from the perspectives of the angels, demons and people vying for the souls of humanity.
“Now that I finished the novel, I find myself drawn back to scripture reading the Book of Daniel and Revelations. Benjamin Reynold’s description of heaven was over the top fantastic; it has stuck with me in the days since I finished his novel. I found his interpretation of the events surrounding the end-of-times creative and thought provoking. I’m definitely glad I spent the time reading his new novel.” Joanna, Book Reviewer for The IE Mommy

The Anvil of the Craftsman (Jon’s Trilogy)
by Dale Amidei
A doctoral candidate in Theological Studies accepts recruitment by a friend in the U.S. State Department for an initiative to the most troublesome province in 2006 Iraq. The many challenges of nation building expand the mission from diplomacy to a survival situation as local and international interests position themselves to oppose a State Department initiative: one vital to progress in an uncertain theater.
Terrorism and counter-terror operations threaten to keep the team from leaving the relative safety of Baghdad. Until, that is, a former USAF Special Tactics operative hunting the men who want to kill them draws duty as their protector. The simple questions posed during a tribal council threaten provincial and regional stability; the conclusions reached explode into a clash of faith, loyalty, schism and betrayal that will help shape the future of two nations.
The Anvil of the Craftsman, the debut novel by author Dale Amidei, will be appreciated by fans of a broad range of fiction; from aficionados of the haunting themes of Ernest Hemingway to readers of the tightly woven plots of Tom Clancy and popular titles of authors like Vince Flynn, David Baldacci, W.E.B. Griffin and Richard Marcinko.
The Anvil of the Craftsman is presented in its Kindle Edition with a fully functional Table of Contents and navigation controls (NCX). Approx. 93,000 words / 312pp. print length.

Cry for the Moon (The Last Werewolf Hunter Series Book 1)
by William Woodall
Sometimes choices are hard.
Born into a family of werewolves, Zach Trewick finds himself faced with the question of whether he should accept this evil life for himself, or take the desperate and risky gamble of running away from home. To make things worse, he’s got only three days left to make up his mind.
Scrambling to find a way to stay human, Zach quickly makes a bold plan to find his uncle Justin nearly a thousand miles away in Texas, the only person he can think of who might take him in. Stowing away in a septic tank, sleeping in a library, and living in a dog house on a vacant lot are among the adventures he encounters along the way.
But the werewolves have no intention of letting him escape so easily. For although he doesn’t know it yet, Zach is the Curse-Breaker, the long-foretold boy who can crush the wolf curse forever, and his family will stop at nothing to prevent that.
Nominated for the 2010 Texas Lone Star Reading List for excellence in young adult literature, Cry for the Moon is the first book in the acclaimed Last Werewolf Hunter series, followed by “Behind Blue Eyes,” and then “More Golden than Day”.
(Note: This book is NOT horror. It’s a young adult/middle grade adventure story with mild Christian themes and a fair amount of humor. Contains no gore, no violence, and is a thoroughly clean book suitable for all ages.)

God Said Woof
by Rick Gatzby
A beautiful wife and daughter, a rewarding and successful career, community accolades as a benefactor of all mankind; Dr. Miles Trebuchet appears to be on the fast track to dizzying heights of both personal and professional success – until unspeakable, horrific tragedy strikes at the heart of his existence.
Looking for answers, but facing the silence of a world accustomed to tragedy, Miles finds himself stripped bare before the universe, railing against cosmic injustice while asking the age-old question, “Why?” Not really expecting any answers, Miles is shocked and bewildered by the response he receives – an answer that is as much mystery as it is resolution, one that hints at hope and salvation not only for himself, but for his beloved wife and daughter as well. But for Miles, it’s a response steeped in fear, one which points him down a dark and foreboding path, a road he has sworn never to travel.
Now Miles is on a quest for meaning, finding himself willing for the first time to seek answers wherever they might exist – at any cost. To find his answers, and to possibly save the family he thought he had lost, Miles must confront both his own mortality and elemental forces of darkness. And he must make a choice, a choice between what he has always known and what he now suspects – and fears – could be the real truth.
In the end, Miles finds himself faced with only a single question, will he succumb to the influence of evil and falter before the face of fear, or will he find redemption and salvation in love?

Dear Diary… (Dear Diary…Series)
by L. M. Reed
CeeCee Wilson hated her name.
Born two weeks after her paternal grandmother’s death, CeeCee was the spitting image of her, and CeeCee’s mother, Allison, devastated by the loss of her mother-in-law who was also her best friend, couldn’t imagine any other name.
CeeCee fervently wished her mother had possessed a bit more imagination.
Elsee Caitrin Wilson…a cow name in CeeCee’s mind as well as the minds of her classmates.
As if that weren’t enough for a child to handle, CeeCee and her family had to move the summer before she was to start high school, her father developed a disease that was slowly destroying his body as well as her universe, her older brother Mark became infatuated with the wicked witch of the southwest, the man she fell in love with was in love with another, and to top it all off, she couldn’t seem to stop making lists.
Did God care? How could a loving God allow those things to happen? Was CeeCee losing her faith? Had she truly ever possessed any? Or was she simply a product of her parents’ blind belief? What if everything she had been taught up until then had simply been a lie? What if God didn’t exist and it was all a hoax?
Transitioning into adulthood was painful for CeeCee as her anger, doubts, and despair overwhelmed her at times, but in the midst of her unwilling journey from child to woman she found the courage to face her life as well as herself with honesty and a determination to deal with the obstacles that had been thrown in her path.
Dear Diary…is the second book of the Dear Diary…Series.

Lazarus, Man
by Scott Toney
This is the story of Lazarus of Bethany, told through tale and tribulation.
*
Darkness.
Nothing.
There was a void in the world around him, without light or sound.
A heaviness weighed on Lazarus’ soul as he grasped for being. He sensed in the darkness there had been light only moments before but he could not grasp what that light was.
Suddenly he felt a pulse in his chest. Something heavy held his body firm. Memories flooded through his mind of heat, cattleâ?¦ family. Where are my sisters? What has happened to me?
The world was somehow wrong.
He tried to move but found he could not, could not raise the heaviness above him. He smelt earth.
Then, with a thrust, he pushed his bound arms out of the cave soil he was buried in and braced them on the earth, using his weakened strength to pull upward. Earth caved in about him as he rose from his grave, his arms and legs bound with bandages. There was a cloth over his face he could not remove. He saw a faint light before him through the cloth.
“Lazarus, come out,” a voice beckoned.
He walked slowly in his bandages toward the light and could feel a warm breeze move about him. The sun radiated in the cloth over his eyes.
“Unbind him, and let him go,” the voice returned.
He felt coarse hands on his arms as bandages were unwrapped from him. Coolness came over his skin where they had been. Lazarus breathed heavily, unsure of what was happening. He had a vague memory of being sick before this. He was barely aware of who he was.
The cloth over his face was pulled away and he squinted as sunlight blinded him. A bearded man with long wavy hair stood in the light. Jesus, he thought in disbelief as the man approached, placing his palm on Lazarus’ forehead.
“You are healed, brother,” Jesus told him as Lazarus’ sisters rushed to his side. “You are still needed in this world.” There was a crowd gathered beyond the cave’s entrance.
“Brotherâ?¦” Martha cried and kissed his cheek. Her soft hands grasped one of his. Tears streamed down her face. “What a blessingâ?¦”
Mary had embraced him and was kneeling before Jesus now. “Thank you, Jesus. How could we doubt you are the son of God?”
“Rise, sister,” Jesus told her. “There is no need to kneel for me. God’s grace is given freely. It is him who we should praise.”
“And through you he has raised our brother from his tomb. We are forever in your debt.”
Jesus took her hand and helped her to rise. “All I ask is your belief and your mouths to spread God’s word in the coming days. Our people will soon face days when believing is much harder than it is now. But come, let us rejoice in what God has done.”
He turned to Lazarus, embracing him. Lazarus felt the warmth of the man and felt his sense of confusion change to a feeling of peace. When Jesus pulled his arms away Lazarus walked out into the sun, through the awestruck crowd toward his home.
A sheep baaed as he passed. He opened the front door to his home and headed to his room, lying down on his straw bed, closing his eyes and giving in to darkness and rest.

Worlds Unseen (The Seventh World Trilogy)
by Rachel Starr Thomson
Quiet, timid, and still haunted by the murder of her childhood guardians, Maggie Sheffield wants peace and healingâ??not an opportunity to uncover truths so frightening that they threaten to forever unravel the world she thinks she knows. But when a dying friend gives her an ancient scroll that purports to contain just such truths, Maggie finds the lure of understanding too hard to resist:
For the power that killed Maggie’s guardians was not humanâ??and she has reason to believe the same power is controlling the Seventh World.
Leaving her hopes for peace behind, Maggie sets out to carry the ancient scroll to the far eastern city of Pravik, seeking the only man in the world who can read it. Along the way, Maggie falls into the companionship of a charismatic young wanderer called Nicolas Fisher, who has secrets of his own that he has long been trying to keep hidden.
Together, their journey plunges them into a strange new world of colourful Gypsies and ancient legends, of death-hounds and beautiful witches, of wilderness treks, unexpected love, and political rebellion. But the price of truth may be too high: for Maggie, Nicolas, and the rebels of Pravik are tearing at the veil between the seen and the unseen, between good and evil, between forgotten past and treacherous futureâ??and when that veil grows thin enough, it’s anyone’s guess what may come through.
Worlds Unseen is Book 1 of the Seventh World Trilogy.

The Ark of Humanity
by Scott Toney
God flooded the earth to annihilate humanity’s sins. What if that sinful race didn’t die when floodwaters covered them but instead adapted to breathe water?
Under the depths of the ocean one boy has raised himself, until the day when he meets a dark-skinned man with news that will change the lives of his civilization forever.
Now he must save his people from another empire of water dwellers bent on enslaving the oceans and torturing his peaceful realm.
Yet another question is posed as he learns that his people are descended from humans that lived on the land above the ocean; a people that were destroyed by floods made by the rage of God.
If they have to, in order to escape, will they be able to breathe air and join whatever is left of the world above the waters?
What would they find there? Is the mythological Noah still alive?

The Son of Man
by Charles W. Johnson
Imagine they set out to clone the Son of God… Imagine they succeed…
Excerpt…
“We haven’t had a chance to talk much about what it will be like to be the parents of such aâ?¦unique child.”
The bride pulled her eyes away from the groom and looked up at the priest. “I thought the Vinces wanted the baby raised in as normal an environment as possible.”
The priest smiled. “Yes, that is true, and for that reason you must never tell anyone who the child really is.”
The bride glanced at the groom and back at the priest. “They covered that when I was being interviewed, but I never really understood why.”
The priest stood, walked around his desk and sat on the corner. “Okâ??a hypothetical situationâ??we go right to the media and tell them about the baby… or say, you tell your neighbors, parents, friends, that your little boy is the clone of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. First of all, they’re gonna’ think you’re crazy, or maybe they just might believe you. Imagine how they would then react to the child.
“Think of it this way,” the priest continued, rearranging himself on the corner of his desk, “there are roughly aroundâ??oh, let’s seeâ??six and a half billion people in the world today. About a billion of those people are gonna’ believe your little boy is God’s own clone, and some of those folks can be pretty radical. There will be the crazy fringe bunch: those who will look upon the child as an abomination, or maybe a threat to their particular belief system. What I’m telling you now is not hypothetical. We know for a fact these people exist.”
“But, what about the baby?” the bride said. “How can we expect a little child to keep such a secret?”
“Easy, we don’t tell him.”

Prison Earth
by T. Emerson May
A novel, whose story line is that of a planet Sidion whose leader uses another planet as a prison. To do so, he sends the souls, the essences of his criminals to incarnate in the bodies of the primitive beings there. The criminals are those on the planet Sidion who wish to be in physical form, so they can enjoy the pleasures that only physical beings can enjoy… eating, drinking, falling in love, sexual pleasures.
Sidion is inhabited by beings who have long since outgrown their physical bodies and have evolved into a race of beings who are more spirits than physical beings, but along the way have lost their ability to enjoy anything physical.
Eventually, the leader of the planet, Orijon, decides that all beings on Sidion need the experience of being physical, so he sends them to a planet called Terris, which has only pre-human bipeds to house his souls. Seeing the possibilities, he tinkers with the bipeds’ DNA to produce an intelligent race who now need spiritual guidance. Now his plan turns to a more complex one in which he must send himself down to help them formulate moral and ethical behavior.
The evolved beings on Terris now believe that Heaven exists, little realizing that what they think is Heaven is really an advanced planet called Sidion.
Is Terris the planet Earth? Only the reader can decide that.

Angel Heart (Glorious Companions #1)
by Summer Lee
Betrayed by her mother, eighteen-year-old Kenana is sold into marriage to the elderly Prince Jubal of Mesopotamia.
Dutiful Kenana determines to make the best of the situation, honoring her wedding vows and fulfilling her wifely responsibilities to the elderly prince. However, she cannot help but wish for what might have beenâ??especially when her strikingly handsome Guardian Angel, Malluch, returns to her life in a very corporeal form, serving as no small distraction.
Malluch’s mere presence is enough to stir feelings of unrest in Kenana, who holds fast to her resolve to remain faithful to her new husband. But Malluch’s persistence grows, and the new Princess begins to question his natureâ??is he truly her Guardian Angel, or a creature with dubious intentions?
Kenana struggles with the events in her past and present as she attempts to forge her future in this new world she finds herself thrust into as the wife of a royal. As she takes her place as the Prince’s bride, dark memories from her childhood begin to surface, serving to both explain and exacerbate her feelings of disquiet concerning her new life. She shows a strength of will and character in her ability to deal with her traumas and accept the situation she finds herself in, albeit without her choice.
And when word reaches the palace that the Nephilim, giants sired by evil angels and born of human women, seek to do her harm, Kenana is forced to flee the palace. On the run, Kenana will discover that those closest to our hearts can sometimes make the most unlikely of heroes. And, in one case, an unlikely guardian angel.

The Vendetta Pact
by Johnathan Ness
Aleksei is brilliant, motivated, and a hard worker. He’s also the son of serfs in post-Napoleonic Russia. Though he has high aspirations, he works in a bar, trying to save up enough money to attend college.
Then one day, he meets two men who have just been cheated by a pair of young nobles and offers to carry out these men’s vendettas if they will pay for him to go to college. For agreeing to ten names, he gets his scholarship and becomes a successful lawyer.
He also falls in love with his best friend’s sister, Katherina. He wants to marry her, but he does not feel he is worthy to even proclaim his love for her until he is through with the list.
As he goes through more victims, though, he is torn between believing he is the instrument of God’s judgment and a crippling self-hatred. His desperation for Katherina grows as does his repugnance at what he must do to have her.
With but one name left, how far will he go to punish an innocent man?

Threads of Regret
by Regina Russell
Threads of Regret is the prequel to “Lovely Strings,” an epic-sized novel about seven women (all strangers to one another) who are summoned to a cabin in a southeastern Kentucky woods for the reading of a will. They are told in the letter from the law firm that the person who died wished to remain anonymous until the day of the reading.
However, a large storm causes the bridge to become inaccessible and they are stranded there before the lawyer arrives.
One of the women out of the eclectic bunch, has the idea that they should begin to share their stories in hopes of finding out how they are connected so they can figure out who has died. It’s a great idea but one that is not welcomed by all. One fears having to reveal things about herself and even wonders if bad things can be inherited too, especially after she finds out who the deceased is.
Then, as the women begin to learn more about each other, parts of the mystery begins to unravel and the women begin to see how they are connected. Though they find out the answers to a lot of questions, there is still someone waiting and longing to be found–and none of the women even know they exist.
Threads of Regret takes you to a time before the women meet at the cabin as it reveals some of the circumstances that helped lead them there and some of the “strings” that connect them.

Butterflies at the Window
by Sandi McReynolds
The date is May 22, 2011. Elly McConnell’s “very good” graduation day seems almost perfect when three enormous butterflies appear at her bedroom window. They are incredibly beautiful, almost other-worldly in their splendor; but when Elly, then her mother, then other members of the McConnell clan begin to see them in the most unlikely places, their presence begins to feel strangely ominous. And when they appear to be watching the family’s every move, it is hard to avoid a growing sense of foreboding. On this perfect spring day of high school graduations, could these exquisite creatures actually be harbingers of looming tragedy? Then a rare and massive EF5 tornado unexpectedly turns that perfect day dark and deadly. As the storm of the century bears down, can the McConnell family survive? And in the midst of unspeakable terror and devastation, could “children of the tornado” actually be seeing “butterfly people?”

A Fire of Coals & An Ice Memoir
by Dean J. Burkey
Fire & Ice
“A Fire of Coals” and “An Ice Memoir”
Unique Retellings of The Greatest Story Ever Told
“A Fire of Coals”
The Apostle Peter Recognizes His Need for The Savior
Never before published, this fiery tale presents the apostle Peter’s thrice denial of Jesus and how he deals with the subsequent guilt.
“An Ice Memoir”
(One Molecule Can Make a Difference)
A story of faith, hope, love, and sacrifice, starring the coolest little hero ever!
My friend Pastor Ron calls “An Ice Memoir” the strangest telling of the Gospel message he’s ever read. (And he meant that as a compliment.)
I could classify “An Ice Memoir” as a political thriller, Christian historical romance, faith-based flash fiction, Sunday School lesson, science-fiction, dramedy, dysfunctional family drama, and more! After you read it, please let me know what fitting genres you think of too.
This story, which always makes me cry, comes from “Faith like a Ketchup Seed” which, along with “Holy Laughter!” and lots of extras, is part of “Holy Ketchup Seed Comedy Combo”.
In Addition
I also included two other segments from “Faith like a Ketchup Seed” which could also be called unique retellings of the Gospel story too: “What Would Jesus Do?” and the Church Skit: “Interview with Jesus”.
Along those same lines, this book also includes two segments from “Holy Laughter!”: “For Sale: One Tomb, Slightly Used” and “The Ultimate Movie Trailer!”
Plus, I’ve included some new famous funny fillers and/or platitudes of poignancy of mine.
Snippets
From “A Fire of Coals”:
He [Peter] glanced at John and thought, “John’s a good man, but not as good as me. I’m the only one willing to die for the Lord. If He hadn’t stopped me, I would have fought that whole garrison single-handedly!” Savoring the aroma of the burning coals, Peter gloated within himself, “I truly am the greatest disciple.”
A stranger near the fire interrupted his thoughts. “Surely this man also was with Jesus, for he is a Galilean.”
Peter turned to see a group of people staring as the stranger pointed at him. He noticed two guards marching toward him. “I am not!” Peter felt appalled by the accusation. John closed his eyes and turned away to pray. The guards trudged past. Peter sighed.
Another servant of the high priest, a relative of Malchus, gazed at Peter and asked, “Did I not see you in the garden with Him?”
From “Interview with Jesus”:
PASTOR: Jesus graciously agreed to answer any question I ask Him.
JESUS: Except one.
PASTOR: Except one. He won’t tell us when the world will end.
JESUS: I’ll just say the time is near when I shall return in the clouds of glory. Now then, feel free to ask Me anything else.
PASTOR: Okay, Jesus. Son of God. Savior of the world. What is Your favorite color?
JESUS: (Laughs heartily.) You can ask Me any question in the universe; and you want to know what My favorite color is?
PASTOR: I just wanted to see if You have a sense of humor.
JESUS: My Father and I thought Our creation of the platypus would convince everyone of that.
Your satisfaction is far more important to me than the money I make from this sale, so if you dislike this book, return it in less than a week to Amazon; and they should issue a refund.

CounterPoint
by D.J. R
“Sooner or later, the human experiment will have to be evaluated”
As the world turns on its axis, all but a precious few are aware of the cosmic conflict that has continued since time immemorial between heaven and hell, angels and demons. Angels have been tasked with guarding and administering the Human Experiment since creation began. The Archangel Michael fears the experiment has failed due to the pollution of evil and seeks to salvage what he can. The day of reckoning is fast-approaching, and humanity’s blissful ignorance will soon be shattered as these duelling forces come to a head on the battlefield of planet Earth.
High-ranking angel Ariel is made responsible for “securing” the Bassett family, and as the conflict begins to unfold, amidst an unreal, unsettling global tempest that seems never to cease, the family is forced to go on the run.
With the Bassett family and their allies in constant peril, the conflict widens in scope as well as geographic distance, and they find themselves battling angels, demons and ancient creatures on all sides. Led by Mary, beloved Irish matriarch of the family, the Bassett’s steady themselves for the onslaught ahead- readying for a battle that will test their fortitude and the survival of the world itself.

OFF THE GRID: Live in a Van, Truck, Trailer, or Motorhome
by JJ Luna
The information that follows is based upon my own experiences living on the road, dating back to just after World War II. If you can imagine yourself in any of the following categories, this book is for you!
Save on Your Rent Payment
In hard times, one of the best ways to cut expenses quickly and for as long as you need relief, is to stop paying rent. True, even an old truck or cargo trailer will cost something, but often these pay for themselves in less than a year. A bonus is that when you sell it, you may get the major part of your money back.
Low-Cost Vacations
The cost of lodging, even on a three-week vacation, can easily run up to $2,000 or more. However, if you’ve got a light-weight fiberglass or converted cargo trailerâ??set up for cookingâ??even a two or three month holiday may be affordable.
Permanent living
Tens of thousands of Americans and Canadians live full time in a motorhome. There are prices for all budgets, from just over $2,000 to well over $1,000,000!
High Adventure
Travel up the Alaska Highwayâ??a trip you will never forget!
Personal Privacy
The quickest way to assure yourself of total privacy is to travel in a van, trailer, truck or motorhome. This is called Travel on the QT.

A WORD FROM THE AUTHOR
Having traveled on every continent and to over 40 countries, I’ve had my fair share of experiences. Living in New York, Toronto, London and Seoul has balanced my outdoor adventures with some high octane urban ones. I’ve been through countless scams, acted as a witness and even helped to foil them. Bringing my real world knowledge and my skills as a researcher, teacher, and entrepreneur together, I hope this book makes a real difference to anyone heading abroad.
