Plague Year (the Plague Year trilogy Book 1)by Jeff Carlson

"Rock-hard realistic." –James Rollins
"Terrifying." –Scott Sigler

Midnight’s Paradoxby Isobelle Cate

IT BEGINS IN AN ANCIENT CASTLE, WITH IMPULSIVE HOT STRANGER SEX –AND IT LEADS TO WORLDS SHE’S NEVER DREAMED OF

In Isobelle Cate’s SIXTH erotic paranormal romance, it’s been hundreds of years since immortal Cynn Cryor warrior Blake Strachen buried what little was left of his family. And it’s been three years since his last unsuccessful raid on his nemesis Dac Valerian. Enemies are still at large. Too much is left unfinished.

Restless, Blake is wandering through the deserted streets of Edinburgh in the early morning hours when he encounters the ghost of a woman, a witch hung centuries ago, who speaks cryptically of “the sins of the father”. But before he can ask her what she means, she disappears with the first light of dawn. Dawn means that Blake–a vampire-werewolf-human hybrid–must find shelter, and he stumbles into the Great Hall of Edinburgh Castle before visitor hours. But he’s not alone…

Phoebe Ruth has come into work early at the old castle when she notices the dark shadow of a man handling a relic sword with surprising ease. A powerful and disturbingly attractive man. Sparks ignite immediately, the two strangers wordlessly embracing with an uncontrollable passion neither of them understands… But just like that, Blake disappears.

All day, like a stereo needle skipping over a vinyl scratch, Phoebe replays the steamy sexual encounter of the early morning–the hunger that threatened to devour her. Was it just an arousing dream? But when Blake rescues Phoebe from an assault by thugs in the cemetery, each becomes enraptured by the other. Forever.

Phoebe has read of the Cynn Cruors in her father’s journal and believes they’re only the ravings of a grief-stricken man after losing his wife. But after several chance encounters, she begins to realize that the Cynn Cruors’ world is as real as the dark stranger’s bonfire of burning kisses. Both Phoebe and Blake have sordid pasts to sort through. And these chance encounters inexplicably link the two lovers together in more ways than one…

This haunting love story will appeal to romance readers who love a hot steamy erotica series with a paranormal element– supernatural shifters, werewolf romance, and vampire romance (it’s got all of that!) and plenty of explicit sex.

RAZORBACKSby George S. Mahaffey Jr.

A terrible pile-up on a deserted West Texas highway. A massive dust-storm cutting off communications and obscuring visibility. A father, his estranged son, and a small band of survivors marooned, waiting for help, unaware of the things that are out in the dust, waiting, watching, drawn by the scent of blood.

Dane Curseby Matt Abraham

For a guy like me, who can shrug off bullets and lift seven tons, there's no better profession than powered crime, and no greater burg to practice it in than Gold Coast City. But after ten years of tossing Buicks at heroes I wised up, took the black cape off my back, and hung out a shingle. Only instead of Dark Deeds Done Daily, this one reads Dane Curse, PI. Now I work cases for the dark denizens I was once counted among. The problems they got aren't the kind that cops care about, so I do what I can, because sometimes even the unjust deserve a little justice.

At least that's how it was before the world's greatest superhero was mysteriously murdered, an act so terrible it threatens to start a war that'll tear my home apart block-by-block, unless I find the killer in five days' time. But getting to the truth won't be so easy. I'll have to contend with black capes whose powers and pulse cannons can shred my hide. An army of technologically advanced armored lawmen led by a power-mad government schemer. And white caped heroes whose abilities and intentions are both less than pure.

No simple task for a small time PI, so I'll need every bit of my strength, guts, and powers if I'm going to find the killer, save my city, and maybe even get some justice for the greatest hero the world has ever known.

Willingby Marina Blue

A billionaire's daughter. Two hard bodied, cocky as hell, alpha bad boys. And one major mistake. Talia Breitling's about to find out just how dangerous a single night of doubles can be!
*****
When I finally got promoted to president of my family's company, I just had to find someone to celebrate with. Normally, I go for smart guys. Quiet. Kind. I've never been the type to go for the hard bodied bad boys. But when two former college football players, all muscled and tattooed, arrive at my party, I just can't help myself.

I know it's a bad idea to take them to bed.
But it gets even worse for me when I find out they work for my company.
And when you add in our missing sex tape, and a mystery blackmailer, things fall apart even faster!

Now everything I've ever worked for is in danger of imploding, and I'm going to need my alpha bad boys to stop taking me from behind, and start having my back. Fortunately for me, they're the type of men who protect what's theirs…

Still though…
One's got me bent over a barrel.
The other's got me on my knees.

It's kind of hard to do what I have to, when I'm getting it from both ends. Fortunately, my blackmailer has no idea what I'm willing to do, or how far I'm willing to go, to win.

Author's Note: Willing is a steamy MFM ménage romance. There isn't a single MM scene – Everything you'll read is all about the woman. So if you like the idea of our heroine falling for two (or maybe three?) gorgeous alpha bad boys, then this is the book for you!!!

Blackbirdby Abigail Graham

Second chance? Yeah, right.

Our life was a fairy tale. I was the princess in the tower and Victor was the brave brash prince who came to rescue me. It started a whirlwind romance. Everything was perfect. I accepted his proposal. We set a date.

Then I learned my lesson.

It all went to $&*% and I had to learn to rescue myself. I built a business empire, started a new life, and swore off men.

Now he’s back in my life and wants back in my heart- and my bedroom. Oh, and he’s working for my business rivals trying to destroy everything I’ve built.

It should be easy to tell him where to stick it, but just the sight of him brings those old feelings back. He has the body of a god and an attitude to match, but he swears up and down it was all lies, he really does love me- and I’m in danger.

So that’s it- if I trust him again, I could lose everything. Do I still believe in love?

Nightstalkerby Riley Edwards

Jasmin
I was blissfully living my life as a tier one security contractor, shooting guns and killing bad guys. My life was perfect. Almost. I was missing something; a missing piece of time to be exact. For the last two years I have tried to remember the details of my capture and torture. Two years willing my brain to remember. Nothing. I could remember nothing.
Then he walked into my life, actually he pushed his way in. It was hard not to notice him, tall, bossy, and sexy as hell. He had no respect of personal space, he used every opportunity to get close and breathe me in. He demanded my attention, whispering the filthiest words in my ear and that was all it took. A few words on his part had me yielding to his every demand.
As one secret after another was revealed, lies are exposed and the missing pieces of the puzzle are finally put together. A nervous breakdown was surely in my future. My entire life was a lie.
Just when I thought I could take no more; I am faced with the most important mission of my life. If I failed it might cost the one man I have ever loved his life- Lincoln Parker.
Lincoln
She was MINE. She can fight it all she wanted, but in the end I would have her, every way a man can have his woman. She was a sassy little thing, making me work to bend her to my demands. But I will! I will bend her and tie her to me so tight she would never be able to get free. Only problem is I had to break her first. I had secrets that she needed to know. I have fought to get back here, two years breathing in filth and scum. All for her- my warrior princess. Now all I had to do is make her remember.
This might be my toughest mission yet. None of my SEAL training or my time in the CIA has prepared me for this; a prickly five foot nothing hellcat, Jasmin Smith.

Creatus Series Boxed Setby Carmen DeSousa

For four thousand years, creatus have concealed themselves from the humans who hunted them almost to extinction. Unwittingly, one creatus will endanger them all…

From the moment he saw her, he knew she was different, but he didn’t think his entire life—and his family’s lives—would forever change because of his wants.

Now, thrust into a role he never wanted, protector and guardian to a girl he can never have, he will risk everything to save her from humans—and his family. The only thing he can’t save her from, however, is herself.

The Creatus Series is not your normal paranormal story…it’s a realistic romantic mystery based on the myths you’ve heard your entire life. Prepare to believe.

Blackbirdby Abigail Graham

Second chance? Yeah, right.

Our life was a fairy tale. I was the princess in the tower and Victor was the brave brash prince who came to rescue me. It started a whirlwind romance. Everything was perfect. I accepted his proposal. We set a date.

Then I learned my lesson.

It all went to $&*% and I had to learn to rescue myself. I built a business empire, started a new life, and swore off men.

Now he’s back in my life and wants back in my heart- and my bedroom. Oh, and he’s working for my business rivals trying to destroy everything I’ve built.

It should be easy to tell him where to stick it, but just the sight of him brings those old feelings back. He has the body of a god and an attitude to match, but he swears up and down it was all lies, he really does love me- and I’m in danger.

So that’s it- if I trust him again, I could lose everything. Do I still believe in love?

Nightstalkerby Riley Edwards

Jasmin
I was blissfully living my life as a tier one security contractor, shooting guns and killing bad guys. My life was perfect. Almost. I was missing something; a missing piece of time to be exact. For the last two years I have tried to remember the details of my capture and torture. Two years willing my brain to remember. Nothing. I could remember nothing.
Then he walked into my life, actually he pushed his way in. It was hard not to notice him, tall, bossy, and sexy as hell. He had no respect of personal space, he used every opportunity to get close and breathe me in. He demanded my attention, whispering the filthiest words in my ear and that was all it took. A few words on his part had me yielding to his every demand.
As one secret after another was revealed, lies are exposed and the missing pieces of the puzzle are finally put together. A nervous breakdown was surely in my future. My entire life was a lie.
Just when I thought I could take no more; I am faced with the most important mission of my life. If I failed it might cost the one man I have ever loved his life- Lincoln Parker.
Lincoln
She was MINE. She can fight it all she wanted, but in the end I would have her, every way a man can have his woman. She was a sassy little thing, making me work to bend her to my demands. But I will! I will bend her and tie her to me so tight she would never be able to get free. Only problem is I had to break her first. I had secrets that she needed to know. I have fought to get back here, two years breathing in filth and scum. All for her- my warrior princess. Now all I had to do is make her remember.
This might be my toughest mission yet. None of my SEAL training or my time in the CIA has prepared me for this; a prickly five foot nothing hellcat, Jasmin Smith.

Two years ago, Leigh Anne Davis shocked everyone in tiny Fairhope, Georgia when she broke up with her wealthy boyfriend to attend an Ivy League university a thousand miles away. At school, she finds a happiness and independence she's never known.

Until one terrifying night takes it all away from her.

With no place else to go, Leigh Anne heads home to reclaim her old life. A life she worked so hard to escape. On the outside, she seems like the same girl everyone has always known. But deep inside, she's hiding a terrible secret.

That's when she meets Knox Warner, a troubled newcomer to Fairhope. His eyes have the same haunted look she sees every day in the mirror, and when she's near him, the rest of the world fades away. But being with Knox would mean disappointing everyone all over again. If she wants to save what's left of her old life, she has no choice but to say goodbye to him forever.

While he waits for anything that sounds familiar or sparks a memory, he finds Verity’s family to be gracious and supportive. He also finds that he’s more than willing to administer a spanking when Verity tells one of her outrageous stories or makes mischief.

The hot sex between them heats up their time together, but can Verity accept that she’s in love with a possible married man, a possible outlaw, a possible reprobate? The truth will emerge, but the doctor’s daughter might be the last one to find out.

A Devious Mindby Brigid George

A callous killer taunts Dusty Kent

It was a silent death. One blow to her head was all it took. The killer struck Marcia Hamilton, a sixty-year-old grandmother of slim build, from behind. Marcia’s status as a distinguished author could not save her. The killer rolled her body, like a piece of discarded junk’, down into a gully where it remained for almost two weeks.

This murder is the most heinous crime imaginable: the crime of matricide. Dusty Kent is sure of that. But which of Marcia’s four offspring would be capable of such a deed? Dusty is determined to expose the murderer no matter who it is. Can she do it before the killer strikes again? Someone who’s already killed their mother would have no qualms about bumping off’ a mere sibling in order to avoid exposure.

A Devious Mind is an enthralling whodunit awash with mystery and atmosphere — from the message seemingly sent by the murder victim after her death, to the intrigue of family dynamics, to the ambling lifestyle of Byron Bay: Australia’s famous beach town.

This is Book 2 of the Dusty Kent murder mysteries following Murder in Murloo.

Striking Audra Chang joins Nathan in his pursuit and brings her own shocking secret. As they struggle through a literal jungle of puzzles and dead ends, she finds herself falling in love with Nathan. Her secret, though, may make that a non-starter.

When a shaman with a thirst for human sacrifice, and a murderous Mexican drug lord with a mysterious connection to Brother Luke emerge, the expedition appears doomed. Yet Nathan is convinced that fate–or something–demands these inscrutable chronicles be unearthed.

And if they are . . . what shattering disruption will they unleash?

Intricately layered and remarkably researched, this enthralling suspense-driven and thought provoking tour de force begs a startling question: Could it happen?

First Plane Outby Patrick Hogan

Sydney Blockett is an unremarkable bachelor and store man in northern England. One afternoon he discovers he has inherited a fortune from an unlikely source and impulsively gets the first plane out of the country. He has lived alone in the small terrace house of his birth and at thirty is almost bereft of friends. With blue eyes, lank hair and long thin body he is not unhandsome, but never been abroad. He is unworldly and his hapless antics are entertaining to the locals. His only long term girlfriend had run off with the window cleaner because she had found him boring. Even the stray cat he adopted disappeared.
Trying to go round the world can be problematic and Sydney’s literal take means it becomes a comedy and drama. Fortunately in Corfu he meets up with world travelling itinerant Aussie Alan Best, currently servicing motorbikes but nursing dreams of becoming a successful artist. Sydney’s life is thrown into chaos by a chance meeting with the odious Henry Charters accompanied by his beautiful ex-debutante girlfriend Felicity Chalmondeley who takes a shine to Sydney. Thus begins the amusing growth of an unlikely and comedic romance. Sydney pretends to be a major businessman and when she leaves the island abruptly at Henry’s insistence a bereft Sydney returns to England to be just that.

Alan and Felicity come to England to find Sydney. The book charts the trajectories of Sydney’s burgeoning relationship with Felicity, at times touching, romantic and farcical. With Sydney’s ineptitude in business it can only end in tears, mostly Sydney’s. Being rich doesn’t suit Sydney. His faltering attempts to impress Felicity’s rich and snobbish parents; while Felicity tries to adapt to working class life in Bradford, and the at times tragi-comedy that the events engender lead to an unlikely ending.

The Gospel According to Yeshua’s Catby C. L. Francisco

The Gospel According to Yeshua’s Cat

What if a cat told the story of Jesus of Nazareth?

Maybe you’d listen. Cats don’t often share their thoughts.

What if a cat’s memories preserved a picture of Jesus lost by the early church long ago in its struggles to survive?

You’d find no dogma, only a cat’s simple love–and that’s a new story altogether.

Here’s what readers are saying:

“Imagine if the author of Watership Down had written The Shack!”

“For the first time, I finally understand what the point, the power, and the beauty of “he is risen” is about – hey, it only took 50 years and a cat to translate!”

“I know of one person who would have loved this book–and that is C. S. Lewis . . . A delightful combination of simplicity and deep theological insight.”

“The words left the pages and entered my heart, soul and spirit. Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful.”

The story of Yeshua’s Cat

Mari is a cat living by her claws on the fringes of the Judean desert. Yeshua ben Yosef is a man with healing hands, seeking solitude in the wastes beyond Qumran.

Their paths cross when Yeshua drives away a pack of wild dogs and rescues the wounded cat, carrying her in his arms to a wadi where he settles to pray. An unusual friendship grows up between them, deepened by Yeshua’s ability to speak with animals, and when he leaves the wilderness, she rides with him, hidden in a sling beneath his robe. More than any other, she is Yeshua’s companion in the quiet times.

Mari narrates the life of Jesus of Nazareth from a cat’s eye-view, frequently losing the thread of his teaching as she drowses, focusing instead on their times alone. When crowds press close for healing, she withdraws behind the folds of his robes. On her own, she pursues a friendship with Mary Magdalene,and looks on as Yeshua transforms the very elements of Earth in his miracles.

Mari loves Yeshua beyond the wont of cats. But in loving him, she discovers loneliness and fear of loss. How can a cat who lives in the eternal Now cope with sudden awareness of the future, with all its uncertainty and pain?

Still, in the end, all roads lead to the Passover festival in Jerusalem, where Mari experiences depths of wonder unsuspected by those caught up in the tumult around her.

“Behold, I do a new thing: see, it springs forth from the bud! Can you not perceive it? Even the beasts of the field will glorify Me.”

The Cats of Rekemby C. L. Francisco

“We are the cats of Rekem, descended from the sacred cats of the Egyptian temple of Bast . . . gathered here to honor Yeshua ben Yosef, friend of cats–He Who Brings Life to the Earth . . .”

The Cats of Rekem opens in the fabled city of Rekem (Petra, Jordan), capital of ancient Nabataea. Francisco brings Rekem to swirling, glittering life, in a kaleidoscopic pageant of exotic characters from a lost culture that reached its peak during the days of Jesus of Nazareth. On the fringes of Rekem’s urban clamor, cats quietly sun themselves, eavesdropping and speaking their thoughts into human minds as the need arises.

25 years have passed in Rekem since the child Yeshua’s rescue (in A Cat Out of Egypt) by Zaidan, a powerful caravan master, and Tikos, an Egyptian priestess fleeing Egypt with a pregnant temple cat from Bubastis. Tikos and Zaidan have married. The Egyptian cats have interbred with wild cats from the hills, and their descendants settled throughout the city with their chosen humans.

In an age of relentless empire building, the independent Nabataeans stubbornly hold to their own traditions, defying the advancing Roman Empire and Israel’s grasping Herod Antipas. Yet Rekem is increasingly caught up in the tide of strange new religions sweeping through the Roman world. Although Zaidan, Tikos, and their family worship Yeshua’s One God and cherish their ties with Yeshua–both before and after his resurrection–the dark mysteries of Isis seduce their daughter Hinat into the goddess’ temple. When Tikos steps in to protect Hinat, King Aretas is enraged by her insult to the gods who stand behind his throne. All of Zaidan’s clan lie beneath the threat of his simmering wrath.

Into this turmoil stumbles a bemused young Apostle Paul, smuggled out of Damascus by Zaidan’s sons, Yeshua’s cat Mari, and Mary Magdalene. Still reeling from his vision on the Damascus road, Paul is painfully confused about what his new life will mean. But his arrival in Rekem attracts the palace’s attention, loosing a flood of scandal and violence that endangers everyone around him . . . as well as threatening his own future before it can even begin.

Cat Born to the Purpleby C. L. Francisco

Cat Born to the Purple, 4th volume in the Yeshua's Cats series, picks up a story told in Yeshua's Cat of a young woman who was stoned. After finding her battered and barely alive in the burning hills near Sepphoris, Yeshua healed her and renamed her Eliana, "God has answered my prayer." He settled her in Cana with his friend Eli to keep her safe from her husband and mother-in-law, who had accused her falsely and incited the mob's violence. Now, in Purple, she's beginning to put her life back together–except for the memory of her stoning, which she has walled away in darkness. Eli's wife Rachel encourages Eliana's extraordinary gifts for weaving and needlework, hoping Eliana can make a living with her skills. But a year after her healing, Eliana's in-laws begin to suspect that she's still alive, and Yeshua returns to help Eli find her a new place of safety.

Eliana accompanies Yeshua and his cat Mari to the Phoenician coastal city of Acco, where her talent wins her an apprenticeship with a prominent merchant dealing in the royal purple murex dye. A Jewish widow, sold into slavery after the rebellions at Sepphoris and now a freedwoman living as an adopted member of the merchant's family, takes Eliana in and helps her adjust to her new world. While in Acco, Yeshua discovers that the merchant's peculiar devotion to the goddess Bast has twisted the hearts of the many feral cats living in his house. Believing that their descent from the cats of a ruined temple of Bast makes them divine, the merchant has convinced them that they are godlings in their own right–with unfortunate results. For the first time in his ministry, Yeshua reaches out to deliver non-human creatures ensnared by human wrong.

Eliana, now widowed and her name altered to the Greek "Aeliana," prospers in her new home and learns the secrets of the priceless purple dye. A clever speaking kitten with a fascination for looms and a gift for dreaming becomes her constant companion, as well as the book's narrator when Mari departs with Yeshua. After meeting a young Anatolian merchant, Aeliana finally begins to believe in the possibility of love, in spite of the constant threat of a co-worker's violence. Still, although she follows the One's light as best she can, she is shattered by the terrifying evil loosed on the world at Yeshua's death. But together with all creation, Aeliana's life is made whole at last in the miracle of the Resurrection.

Two years ago, Leigh Anne Davis shocked everyone in tiny Fairhope, Georgia when she broke up with her wealthy boyfriend to attend an Ivy League university a thousand miles away. At school, she finds a happiness and independence she's never known.

Until one terrifying night takes it all away from her.

With no place else to go, Leigh Anne heads home to reclaim her old life. A life she worked so hard to escape. On the outside, she seems like the same girl everyone has always known. But deep inside, she's hiding a terrible secret.

That's when she meets Knox Warner, a troubled newcomer to Fairhope. His eyes have the same haunted look she sees every day in the mirror, and when she's near him, the rest of the world fades away. But being with Knox would mean disappointing everyone all over again. If she wants to save what's left of her old life, she has no choice but to say goodbye to him forever.

First Plane Outby Patrick Hogan

Sydney Blockett is an unremarkable bachelor and store man in northern England. One afternoon he discovers he has inherited a fortune from an unlikely source and impulsively gets the first plane out of the country. He has lived alone in the small terrace house of his birth and at thirty is almost bereft of friends. With blue eyes, lank hair and long thin body he is not unhandsome, but never been abroad. He is unworldly and his hapless antics are entertaining to the locals. His only long term girlfriend had run off with the window cleaner because she had found him boring. Even the stray cat he adopted disappeared.
Trying to go round the world can be problematic and Sydney’s literal take means it becomes a comedy and drama. Fortunately in Corfu he meets up with world travelling itinerant Aussie Alan Best, currently servicing motorbikes but nursing dreams of becoming a successful artist. Sydney’s life is thrown into chaos by a chance meeting with the odious Henry Charters accompanied by his beautiful ex-debutante girlfriend Felicity Chalmondeley who takes a shine to Sydney. Thus begins the amusing growth of an unlikely and comedic romance. Sydney pretends to be a major businessman and when she leaves the island abruptly at Henry’s insistence a bereft Sydney returns to England to be just that.

Alan and Felicity come to England to find Sydney. The book charts the trajectories of Sydney’s burgeoning relationship with Felicity, at times touching, romantic and farcical. With Sydney’s ineptitude in business it can only end in tears, mostly Sydney’s. Being rich doesn’t suit Sydney. His faltering attempts to impress Felicity’s rich and snobbish parents; while Felicity tries to adapt to working class life in Bradford, and the at times tragi-comedy that the events engender lead to an unlikely ending.

Blackbirdby Abigail Graham

Second chance? Yeah, right.

Our life was a fairy tale. I was the princess in the tower and Victor was the brave brash prince who came to rescue me. It started a whirlwind romance. Everything was perfect. I accepted his proposal. We set a date.

Then I learned my lesson.

It all went to $&*% and I had to learn to rescue myself. I built a business empire, started a new life, and swore off men.

Now he’s back in my life and wants back in my heart- and my bedroom. Oh, and he’s working for my business rivals trying to destroy everything I’ve built.

It should be easy to tell him where to stick it, but just the sight of him brings those old feelings back. He has the body of a god and an attitude to match, but he swears up and down it was all lies, he really does love me- and I’m in danger.

So that’s it- if I trust him again, I could lose everything. Do I still believe in love?

Sealed Upby Steve Dunn Hanson

The Da Vinci Code unsettles. SEALED UP shakes to the core!

UCLA anthropologist Nathan Hill, in a funk since his young wife’s death, learns of staggering millennia-old chronicles sealed up somewhere in a Mesoamerica cliff. This bombshell rocks him out of his gloom, and he leads a clandestine expedition to uncover them. What are they? Who put them there? No one knows. But, self-absorbed televangelist Brother Luke, who funds the expedition, thinks he does. If he’s right, his power-hunger will have off-the-charts gratification.

Striking Audra Chang joins Nathan in his pursuit and brings her own shocking secret. As they struggle through a literal jungle of puzzles and dead ends, she finds herself falling in love with Nathan. Her secret, though, may make that a non-starter.

When a shaman with a thirst for human sacrifice, and a murderous Mexican drug lord with a mysterious connection to Brother Luke emerge, the expedition appears doomed. Yet Nathan is convinced that fate–or something–demands these inscrutable chronicles be unearthed.

And if they are . . . what shattering disruption will they unleash?

Intricately layered and remarkably researched, this enthralling suspense-driven and thought provoking tour de force begs a startling question: Could it happen?

A Devious Mindby Brigid George

A callous killer taunts Dusty Kent

It was a silent death. One blow to her head was all it took. The killer struck Marcia Hamilton, a sixty-year-old grandmother of slim build, from behind. Marcia’s status as a distinguished author could not save her. The killer rolled her body, like a piece of discarded junk’, down into a gully where it remained for almost two weeks.

This murder is the most heinous crime imaginable: the crime of matricide. Dusty Kent is sure of that. But which of Marcia’s four offspring would be capable of such a deed? Dusty is determined to expose the murderer no matter who it is. Can she do it before the killer strikes again? Someone who’s already killed their mother would have no qualms about bumping off’ a mere sibling in order to avoid exposure.

A Devious Mind is an enthralling whodunit awash with mystery and atmosphere — from the message seemingly sent by the murder victim after her death, to the intrigue of family dynamics, to the ambling lifestyle of Byron Bay: Australia’s famous beach town.

This is Book 2 of the Dusty Kent murder mysteries following Murder in Murloo.

Defining Marriage: Voices from a Forty-Year Labor of Loveby Matthew Baume

Only a few years ago, marriage was defined as an exclusive club for heterosexuals only. Today, it has expanded to welcome gay and lesbian couples across the entire United States.

Defining Marriage traces the decades-long evolution of marriage through the personal stories of those who lived through it. Writer Matt Baume provides an intimate glimpse into the private lives of those who dreamed of marriage in the 1970s, the survivors of the 1980s, the audacious pioneers of the 1990s, the tireless soldiers of the 2000s, and the champions who won marriage today.

Along the way, he explores the individual stories of the people who participated in this revolution, examines what marriage has become, and shows with vivid, compelling personal narratives how the act of defining marriage forever changed the lives and loves of the people who fought to define the institution. As the journey to equality unfolds over the years, Baume finds himself unexpectedly evaluating his own self-contradictory life as a marriage activist with no plans to marry his longtime partner.

Over the course of years, the story of marriage is recounted through intimate, revealing conversations with prominent LGBT figures, allies, and grassroots activists. Dustin Lance Black shares the story of how his escape from childhood abuse prepared him to bring hope to millions; Dan Savage recalls his stubborn rejection of the closet at what was then an unthinkably young age; and Andrew Sullivan remembers the call for marriage in the 1980s that earned him enemies amongst conservatives and queers alike. Baume visits with Rob Reiner, who inherited a passion for social justice from his real-life parents and his television family; San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, whose personal principles tested his career ambitions when he stood up to an unjust law and the President of the United States; and Seattle Mayor Ed Murray, a former seminary student who picked up the mantle of LGBT liberation after the death of a friend and mentor.

We meet accidental activists thrust into an international spotlight, like Amy Balliett of Join the Impact; Book of Mormon star Gavin Creel; and Clela Rorex, who in 1975 became America’s first government official to issue a marriage license to gay couples. As marriage transforms, people all over the country find themselves and their loved ones at a crossroads of history: Molly McKay, who showed up at marriage counters to demanded a license every Valentine’s Day for a decade until someone finally said yes; Jenny Kanelos, a small-town girl who mobilized all of Broadway; Juan and Tim Clark-Lucero, forced to race against the clock to marry before their legal window closed.

Baume provides rare, behind-the-scenes access to personal conflicts around the national struggle. While furious protestors clash on the steps of the Supreme Court, we are ushered inside to witness the same debate playing out amongst the Justices. Readers witness gay political leaders locked in desperate, emotional struggles to pass marriage bills in the back halls of capitols, and are are privy to the conversations of families as they discover what the shifting landscape of marriage means for their own relationships.

From decades past to this moment in history, from halls of power to private bedrooms, from the political to the personal, Defining Marriage is the story of how people from all walks of life fought to change marriage — and how fighting for marriage, in turn, changed them.

Tears of the Silencedby Misty Griffin

When I was six years old my family started to live and dress like the Amish. For the next twelve years, my sister and I were subjected to almost complete isolation, sexual abuse, and severe physical violence. In my late teens, my parents feared we would escape and took us to an Amish community where we were adopted and became baptized members.I was devastated to once again find myself in a world of fear, animal cruelty and sexual abuse. Going to the police was forbidden. A few years later I was sexually assaulted by the bishop, I knew I had to get help and one morning in early March I made a dash for a tiny police station in rural Minnesota. After being excommunicated from the Amish I found myself plummeted into the strange modern world with only a 2nd or 3rd- grade education and no ID or social security card. Based on the tragic and inspiring true story.

Hostage of the Hitmanby Alexis Abbott

She needs to behave, or I’ll be forced to punish her.

Delaney Underwood is sexy as hell, with a killer body, wicked smile, and a spoiled rotten demeanor. She’s a pampered rich girl, thinking she can get anything she wants, whenever she wants.

It pisses me off. I’ve struggled to survive, and I have the scars to prove it. Delaney’s going to make me a wealthy man, once her parents pay to get their precious angel back.

But every time I look at those sassy lips, I wanna put them to good use. Delaney has gotten under my skin and she knows it. Even before I took her hostage, she’d somehow managed to work her way into my blood, and my heart hammers harder in my chest every time she stares daggers in my direction.

She’s craving someone like me in her life, whether she knows it or not, and with every bratty outburst, a part of me calls out to discipline her. She needs to be taught a lesson.

Till Death and Beyondby Lyn C. Johanson

Till Death and Beyond is a sizzling tale of two souls bound by destiny in a cruel plot to separate them forever…
A COLD BEAUTY WHO KNOWS DEATH INTIMATELY…
Amira is the strongest witch on the face of the earth, with psychic abilities no others possess. And yet, she is but a slave to the whims of the gods. Forced to be born anew every time she fails in fulfilling an ancient prophecy, Amira is desperate to break the vicious cycle.

A TORMENTED WARRIOR WHO HAS LOST EVERYTHING…
Plagued by the memories and guilt over his family's demise, Raven lives for the sole reason of restoring his younger brother. And kidnapping a witch is only the beginning–for he intends to right the wrongs of his past by any means necessary.

A DESTINY TO CHANGE THE WORLD…
While the gods might have planned for her to be captured, surrender is not something that comes easy to Amira. Yet one glance into her captor's eyes, and she is swept away by emotions long ago denied to her. She decides to play along. For a while.
Despite the hatred Raven harbors for their kind, he is intrigued by the witch. One taste of her lips, and she becomes his obsession. Soon, he discovers that fighting against the passion they ignite in one another is futile. But as they strip each other's secrets, a powerful force threatens to destroy them both.
For in this game of gods nothing is simple–the whole universe seems to conspire against them. And no matter how fiercely they fight, or what they are willing to endure to save each other … the path they travel is paved with loss.
Will they survive the ultimate test, if even their determination–to fight till death–might not be enough?

Supernatural Freakby Louisa Klein

When paranormal expert Robyn Wise is offered an outrageous sum of money to cure a boy who is turning into a dead tree, she’s very sceptical. A politician ready to pay that much to make his son stop growing branches instead of hair? Come on! She’s more likely to be abducted by aliens. This is a trap. Or much worse. And, of course, it’s much worse.

The child is turning into a dark portal, created by a powerful entity determined to absorb Fairyland’s power. This means that not only queen Titania and her court are in danger, but the very balance of the magic fluxes.

She’d rather stick a pencil in her own eye, but to learn how to destroy the portal, she has to sneak into the Wizardry Council, a place full of wizards who are hiding something–though it’s certainly not their dislike of Robyn.

There, she discovers a secret that could help to overthrow Fairyland’s enemies for good, a secret that puts her in the midst of an ancient and deadly war, and not as a bystander, but as the main target.

An action-packed yet romantic urban fantasy where Harry Potter meets Nancy Drew meets The Dresden Files, meets Darkest Powers meets Buffy The Vampire Slayer!
This is the first of a 4 book series… Stay tuned for the rest!

All My Loveby Natalie Ann

All books can be read as a stand alone or in order of the series.

All alone in the world, Jordyn Montgomery is desperately trying to find something about her lineage. With her life in flux, she packs everything up and heads for a new city labeled on a postcard in a mysterious package that she discovered after her mother’s death. Maybe she’d have more luck there, even if it was only a hunch.

Drew Palmer has always been close to his sister. When she moved away, he’d thought he could handle it, only he couldn’t. It didn’t take much to convince his father–the only other immediate family he had remaining–to pack up and move close to her.

Drew isn’t looking for love, or a relationship, just a good time. He’s young still, almost thirty. Plenty of time for that down the road. Except sometimes when you aren’t looking, that’s when love slams into you full force.

Awaken (The Witches, The Spell Book, and The Magic Tree) (A Fated Fantasy Quest Adventure Book 1)by Humphrey Quinn

A FATED FANTASY QUEST ADVENTURE, Book 1, Awaken: The Witches, The Spell Book, and The Magic Tree. First in an Action-Packed Ten Book Fantasy Series- a Classic Coming of Age Adventure in a Thrilling New World of Magic.

Mind reading twins, Meghan and Colin Jacoby, have until the rising of the blue moon to save the life of a young man whose family is forced to flee through a magical portal to another world, without him. In the process, they unknowingly break a spell and awaken an ancient dark magic, which has an unfortunate side effect: now they are being hunted too!

In Book One
Meghan and Colin Jacoby are looking forward to a typical summer vacation, which means their guardian (and uncle) will pull into the Cobbscott Campground just off the coast of Maine and park his travel trailer for three full months.

Normally, they’d never spend more than a few weeks in any one place, their uncle preferring to stay on the move. Why did he do this? The twins have never thought to ask.

Their only concern being that their friend Sebastien will be in Cobbscott as well… the one person who also happens to know their secret- the twins are telepathic and can read each other’s’ minds. A supernatural secret they’ve never even told their Guardian.

Within hours of arrival, Meghan and Colin are making plans to meet up with Sebastien but before they can, unexpected guests arrive. Guests with reserved campsites reserved, but unused for years. And even more mysterious is that within hours, it’s clear these new visitors did not come alone! Something else has followed them. Something dangerous, and evil, with an eerie shadow that flies across the tree tops screeching out a warning that can have only one meaning: we know where you are

Sealed Upby Steve Dunn Hanson

The Da Vinci Code unsettles. SEALED UP shakes to the core!

UCLA anthropologist Nathan Hill, in a funk since his young wife’s death, learns of staggering millennia-old chronicles sealed up somewhere in a Mesoamerica cliff. This bombshell rocks him out of his gloom, and he leads a clandestine expedition to uncover them. What are they? Who put them there? No one knows. But, self-absorbed televangelist Brother Luke, who funds the expedition, thinks he does. If he’s right, his power-hunger will have off-the-charts gratification.

Striking Audra Chang joins Nathan in his pursuit and brings her own shocking secret. As they struggle through a literal jungle of puzzles and dead ends, she finds herself falling in love with Nathan. Her secret, though, may make that a non-starter.

When a shaman with a thirst for human sacrifice, and a murderous Mexican drug lord with a mysterious connection to Brother Luke emerge, the expedition appears doomed. Yet Nathan is convinced that fate–or something–demands these inscrutable chronicles be unearthed.

And if they are . . . what shattering disruption will they unleash?

Intricately layered and remarkably researched, this enthralling suspense-driven and thought provoking tour de force begs a startling question: Could it happen?

Rhuna, keeper of Wisdomby Barbara Underwood

YA Urban Fantasy Series: Rhuna – Keeper of Wisdom: Ancient Historical Fiction Fantasy Novel
In the ancient, mystical past when an idyllic Atlantis-like civilization flourished, its people with exceptional powers could build giant stone structures like the Pyramids, and transform elements such as sand to stone and metal to gold with concentrated energy of the mind.
This utopian Atlan Empire is rocked when one of its most preeminent Masters rebels and seeks to subvert the ideals of Atlan society. Roaming the countryside in a black robe, misusing his powers on innocent people, he becomes known as the dreaded Dark Master.
On a distant and isolated island on the fringes of the Atlan Empire, a young girl named Rhuna comes of age when she meets a man from Atlán and learns that her father was an Atlan Master who was killed in his attempt to destroy the Dark Master.
Journeying across oceans and ancient worlds, Rhuna learns to master her inherent mental powers, transforming elements and summoning visions by means of the Gazing of the Waters. Unlike her peers, however, Rhuna discovers she has an extra power, namely the ability to summon visions mentally, without incantations or powders.
When the Dark Master’s activities become a threat to the peaceful Atlan Empire, the Atlan Masters come to realize that they cannot defeat him without Rhuna’s special visionary powers to observe the Dark Master’s activity and whereabouts.
The first book in this extraordinary Urban Fantasy series lays the foundations of the Atlan Empire and Rhuna’s world, and even when the Dark Master appears to have been defeated, secret and sinister powers continue to threaten the ancient Utopia.

Till Death and Beyondby Lyn C. Johanson

Till Death and Beyond is a sizzling tale of two souls bound by destiny in a cruel plot to separate them forever…
A COLD BEAUTY WHO KNOWS DEATH INTIMATELY…
Amira is the strongest witch on the face of the earth, with psychic abilities no others possess. And yet, she is but a slave to the whims of the gods. Forced to be born anew every time she fails in fulfilling an ancient prophecy, Amira is desperate to break the vicious cycle.

A TORMENTED WARRIOR WHO HAS LOST EVERYTHING…
Plagued by the memories and guilt over his family's demise, Raven lives for the sole reason of restoring his younger brother. And kidnapping a witch is only the beginning–for he intends to right the wrongs of his past by any means necessary.

A DESTINY TO CHANGE THE WORLD…
While the gods might have planned for her to be captured, surrender is not something that comes easy to Amira. Yet one glance into her captor's eyes, and she is swept away by emotions long ago denied to her. She decides to play along. For a while.
Despite the hatred Raven harbors for their kind, he is intrigued by the witch. One taste of her lips, and she becomes his obsession. Soon, he discovers that fighting against the passion they ignite in one another is futile. But as they strip each other's secrets, a powerful force threatens to destroy them both.
For in this game of gods nothing is simple–the whole universe seems to conspire against them. And no matter how fiercely they fight, or what they are willing to endure to save each other … the path they travel is paved with loss.
Will they survive the ultimate test, if even their determination–to fight till death–might not be enough?

Hostage of the Hitmanby Alexis Abbott

She needs to behave, or I’ll be forced to punish her.

Delaney Underwood is sexy as hell, with a killer body, wicked smile, and a spoiled rotten demeanor. She’s a pampered rich girl, thinking she can get anything she wants, whenever she wants.

It pisses me off. I’ve struggled to survive, and I have the scars to prove it. Delaney’s going to make me a wealthy man, once her parents pay to get their precious angel back.

But every time I look at those sassy lips, I wanna put them to good use. Delaney has gotten under my skin and she knows it. Even before I took her hostage, she’d somehow managed to work her way into my blood, and my heart hammers harder in my chest every time she stares daggers in my direction.

She’s craving someone like me in her life, whether she knows it or not, and with every bratty outburst, a part of me calls out to discipline her. She needs to be taught a lesson.

And I need her, all to myself. I promised to ransom her off, but once I have a taste of her sweet curves, I’m keeping her to myself.

She’s the hitman’s hostage and she’ll learn to love it.

In the ancient, mystical past when an idyllic Atlantis-like civilization flourished, its people with exceptional powers could build giant stone structures like the Pyramids, and transform elements such as sand to stone and metal to gold with concentrated energy of the mind.
This utopian Atlan Empire is rocked when one of its most preeminent Masters rebels and seeks to subvert the ideals of Atlan society. Roaming the countryside in a black robe, misusing his powers on innocent people, he becomes known as the dreaded Dark Master.
On a distant and isolated island on the fringes of the Atlan Empire, a young girl named Rhuna comes of age when she meets a man from Atlán and learns that her father was an Atlan Master who was killed in his attempt to destroy the Dark Master.
Journeying across oceans and ancient worlds, Rhuna learns to master her inherent mental powers, transforming elements and summoning visions by means of the Gazing of the Waters. Unlike her peers, however, Rhuna discovers she has an extra power, namely the ability to summon visions mentally, without incantations or powders.
When the Dark Master’s activities become a threat to the peaceful Atlan Empire, the Atlan Masters come to realize that they cannot defeat him without Rhuna’s special visionary powers to observe the Dark Master’s activity and whereabouts.
The first book in this extraordinary Urban Fantasy series lays the foundations of the Atlan Empire and Rhuna’s world, and even when the Dark Master appears to have been defeated, secret and sinister powers continue to threaten the ancient Utopia.

Where FIT Happens: A Revolutionary Approach to Fitnessby Greg Justice

Where FIT Happens is about Metabolic Training, a revolutionary approach to the perfect blend of workout routines that help you build muscle and burn fat as efficiently as possible.

There are three major parts to every metabolic training routine; high training intensity, high training density, and negative work-to- rest ratios. High training intensity helps build muscle and increase your anaerobic metabolism to create excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) and increase the amount of energy you burn even when you are not exercising. High training density causes you to burn a large amount of energy during your workout, and negative work-to-rest ratios increases your aerobic metabolism to give you cardiovascular exercise on top of everything else.

The main goal of metabolic training is to greatly affect your overall metabolic burn on all fronts so that you’re burning the maximum amount of energy you can, in the healthiest manner possible, no matter what you’re doing. What you’re looking to do is to make your metabolism switch back and forth between burning carbs and fat. It will get you lean and strong, because lean body mass boosts your RMR.

Frisco 2297by Greg M. Sheehan

What we think of as outrageous is nothing but normal in this book’

The year is 2297, and life in the Autonomous City of San Francisco is harsh and forbidding…for most people. For the elite so-called hereditary class, it’s much easier, and they rule with such ancient Roman zeal.

Those unfortunate souls outside this group are locked in a desperate struggle for survival, subsisting on whatever limited resources they can lay their hands on. Monitored by the frighteningly all-knowing and capricious “handle device,” each citizen’s life is controlled by their ranking; a single number that determines what they’re worth, and what Personal Consumption Resources they’re allowed to have.

Jake Forest is an obedience officer, and a non-hereditary member of society, with the impossible desire to join the upper class. However, Jake is thrust into more than he bargained for when the power-hungry Commander Titus Bullus makes his move to take complete control of the city using something known as the Peacemaker.

This weapon is the starting signal for carnage on a truly Roman scale, and Jake realizes it’s up to him to do something about it. The fight to save San Francisco is just beginning.

Written with flair and wit, and crammed with non-stop action, Frisco 2297 is unique and ground-breaking in its presentation. And brimming with brutality, satire and comedy, this is a book which is unlike any other futuristic book seen before.

Remember the Ladiesby Gina L. Mulligan

Growing up in an orphanage prepared Amelia Cooke for the high-stakes role of a female lobbyist surrounded by the egos of the 1887 Congress, a time before women had the right to vote.

So when she’s hired by the National Women’s Suffrage Association to help pass a proposed constitutional amendment granting women’s voting rights, Amelia feels empowered to at last win a place for herself and give all women a voice in the world.

Edward Stillman is desperate for status and power among Washington’s Old Guard. To gain control of the most dominant committee in the Senate, Stillman must crush the women’s amendment and anyone else in his way, including Amelia.

A Subtle Graceby Ellen Gable

FINALIST: 2015 IAN Book of the Year, Historical and Romance
“The plot tugs at the heart and gets the heart racing. Reading ‘A Subtle Grace’ was like riding a Victorian-era wooden roller coaster: a luscious historical setting that provides a tantalizingly dangerous thrill ride.” Erin McCole Cupp, author, Don’t You Forget About Me

1896, Philadelphia. In this stand alone sequel to “In Name Only” (2009, FQP), “A Subtle Grace” continues the story of the wealthy and unconventional O’Donovan Family as they approach the dawn of a new century. At 19, Kathleen (oldest daughter) is unmarried with no prospects. Fearing the lonely fate of an old maid, her impatience leads to an infatuation with the first man who shows interest. The suave, handsome son of the local police chief seems a perfect match. But will her impulsive manner prevent her from recognizing her true love? A disturbing turn of events brings a dark shadow that threatens the life-long happiness she desires.

Dr. Luke Peterson (the family’s new physician) also makes quite an impression on Kathleen. His affection for her leads him to startling revelations: about Kathleen, about his practice and, most importantly, about himself.

Will (oldest son) believes God may be calling him to a religious vocation. Eventually, he discovers the hidden circumstances of his humble beginnings compelling him to embark on a pilgrimage to Rome.

(Note: Although “A Subtle Grace” is a sequel, it can be read as a stand alone book, independently of the first book in the series.)

Reviews:
“‘A Subtle Grace’ is a masterfully written illustration of the difference between lust and love, between rashness and fortitude, between mere existence and truly living.” AnnMarie Creedon, author, ‘Angela’s Song’

“A Subtle Grace is a novel to stir your heart, your emotions, and your soul. I highly recommend it!”
Therese Heckenkamp, award-winning author, Frozen Footprints

“Beyond mere lust there is a healing hope which can bear not only joy, but a wonderful story – A Subtle Grace’ was very engaging and certainly kept me turning the pages.”
A.K. Frailey, author, the Deliverance Trilogy (www.akfrailey.com)

Beaconby November Ellison

Pastor Joanna Benally leads a double life. On the outside, she’s dedicated to the work of turning around troubled churches. But inside, she is lonely and unfulfilled, keeping everyone at arm’s length to hide the shameful secrets of her past.

When Jo is sent to Newark, Ohio, on church business, she is knocked off her feet by a handsome redheaded young man who claims he is Cain, history’s oldest murderer–and a vampire. He’s taken it upon himself to butcher sinners, sadistically using his telepathic abilities to enjoy his victims’ terror and pain. As Jo struggles with the ethical dilemma of how to respond to this murderer, Cain slowly dismantles her carefully constructed isolation.

Then, when Jo kills two men in self-defense, an unexpected chain of events ushers her into a reality she never imagined possible. She learns she’s a “beacon,” a genetically marked vessel for the magnetic power that enables vampires to feed off of humans.

As danger and betrayal emerge in unexpected places and the line between good and evil blurs, Jo must choose between the truth of radical love and the safety of false appearances.

Action-packed, romantic, and thought provoking, Beacon explores the possibility that vampirism is both scientifically possible and part of God’s plan.

Another Summerby Sue Lilley

IF YOU LOVE AN EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER, DON’T MISS THIS COMPULSIVE AND SEXY PAGE-TURNER

Can Evie cure her heartbreak by escaping to a new life in the sun with hot rock singer Jake? Or can Joe convince her one last time that she belongs with him?

Joe is the only man she’s ever loved, since that long hot summer when she was sixteen. But how many lies is too many? Is it time to admit their marriage has fallen apart and they’ve finally reached the end of the road?

Devastated by his latest betrayal, Evie flees to her grandmother’s cottage in the stormy wilds of picturesque Cornwall, to grieve and make plans for an empty future without the man she believed was her soulmate. Alone and vulnerable, she falls under the spell of charismatic Jake who sweeps her head first into an irresistible and steamy affair.

Meanwhile, when Joe comes home to find Evie gone, he’s spurred into action to win her back. But his journey turns into the road trip from hell. Battling his inner demons and the worst weather the UK has seen in years, he has to drive the full length of the country to reach the remote Cornish cottage where Evie is hiding.

He believes he can persuade her to come back. But does he mean it when he swears he’s turned over a new leaf? Can he convince her one more time that he can change? Or has he left it too late to realise he’s always loved her?

Under the Pinesby Jennifer Bisbing

Told through the eyes of eight-year-old Josie Banks whose recently inherited psychic gifts meld science with the paranormal, Under the Pines is a fast-paced and surprising story of abduction, mistrust, and murder. Author Jennifer Bisbing intertwines her own 1970’s childhood memories of life with a renowned forensic scientist into an authentic whodunit. Drawing on her father’s career — which included forensic consulting on high-profile cases like the O.J. Simpson trial and JonBenét Ramsey murder, as well as the hit CBS show CSI — Bisbing reveals how one girl, powerful beyond measure, can derail conventional crime scene investigation.

Remember the Ladiesby Gina L. Mulligan

Growing up in an orphanage prepared Amelia Cooke for the high-stakes role of a female lobbyist surrounded by the egos of the 1887 Congress, a time before women had the right to vote. Her success in the isolating male arena comes from using the tactics she's learned from those who oppressed her. So when she’s hired by the National Women’s Suffrage Association to help pass a proposed constitutional amendment granting women’s voting rights, Amelia feels empowered to at last win a place for herself and give all women a voice in the world. What she doesn’t foresee is the charismatic and calculating Senator Edward Stillman who threatens to ruin her hard-earned reputation and end her career. Edward Stillman is desperate for status and power among Washington’s Old Guard. To gain control of the most dominant committee in the Senate, Stillman must crush the women’s amendment and anyone else in his way, including Amelia. He’s driven, clever, and willing to exploit any advantage. But in a political game where bribery, threats, extortion, and seduction prevail, each player must decide just how low they are willing to let the fight go. Who will win? And at what cost? Set in the extravagant Gilded Age, Remember the Ladies explores the conflict between the sexes with delightful writing and elegant descriptions, which bring the reader back to a time when the struggle for women’s equality had just begun.

Mash Upby Joe Klingler

“Cleverly designed, Mash Up is the perfect detective read, as well as a classic addition to the noir genre.”–San Francisco Book Review (5 of 5 Stars)

Disturbed by the death of a suspect in a recent case he feels was the result of his own failure to unravel a high-tech crime; Qigiq, Fairbanks detective, motorcyclist and knife-thrower, heads south to partner with the energetic, action-loving Kandy Dreeson of the San Francisco Police Department to be schooled on all things digital.

But when Robina, a violinist from a local college, arrives at the police station with body parts in an Amazon box screaming about her missing roommate, Kandy and Qigiq are soon drowning in a torrent of cyber-clues from YouTube videos to disappearing music files while dodging threats to their lives. With each bit they decipher they grow ever closer to the dangerous forces that would trade money for murder, and secrecy for seduction.

High-speed chase suspenseful, exploding with power-struggle intrigue, and awash in Silicon Valley “innovation,” Mash Up captures the enchantment of the Internet Age, and the deadly power of a file copy.

“Klingler is skilled at writing action scenes. He puts the reader directly in the line of fire, and he doesn’t let upAnyone interested in thrillers or police procedurals will find much to appreciate in this newest Qigiq installment.”–Foreword Clarion Reviews (4 Star ****)

School, Sex and Secretsby Sheila Michelle

18-year-old Rosemont High School student Vanessa Ellis from Las Vegas, Nevada loves finding out about other people’s secrets, but never imagined how it would be if people found out about hers. Her secret begins her senior year when she ends up in a secret relationship with 18-year-old John Catchton . . . and then in one with 18-year-old Brad Johnston who has a girlfriend and that’s not all. John and Brad happen to be very good friends with each other and go to the same school as her. But someone out there knows about her secret and lets her know it by sending her a series of threatening secret text messages, and this is not the only thing that she’s receiving. She’s also receiving unwanted roses that are always put inside of her car, so this now has her very cautious about the two that she’s secretly involved with and about whether or not her secret will be revealed. But it doesn’t take her long to feel uncomfortable about being in a secret relationship with John and Brad at the same time, especially since Brad has a girlfriend and there’s someone out there that knows about her secret, so she chooses to end it with one of them, and when she does, this starts a trail of even more secrets and lies. Also because of this choice, she ends up in an open, committed relationship that she doesn’t ever expect to be in, but what she doesn’t expect most of all is when a dark secret leads to a classmate’s murder.

Vanessa and her friends decide to conduct their own investigation into their classmate’s murder, and forensic science plays a huge part in their investigation, but the DNA results gives them news that they don’t ever expect to hear. Vanessa also doesn’t expect to hear who’s been behind the secret text messages and roses that she’s been receiving, and when the secret identity of the person is revealed, this changes the way she feels about the whole investigation. In addition to this, she also finds out that she’s more connected to this case than she ever thinks she would be, and because of this, she fears that she’ll be the killer’s next victim.

Being Shirleyby Michelle Vernal

“Who’s Shirley Valentine?”
Shirley Valentine was Roz’s favourite film. It was about a repressed, middle-aged housewife from Liverpool who spends her days talking to her kitchen wall. When she leaves her husband for an impromptu holiday to the Greek Islands with a friend, she rediscovers her lust for life and decides to stay.
Annie Rivers isn’t middle-aged; she’s thirty-one. She doesn’t hail from England; she lives in New Zealand and she doesn’t talk to the kitchen wall–just her cat.
Her late sister Roz had a passion for anything and everything to do with Greece, including Shirley Valentine and the New Age musician, Yanni. Just for the record, though, Annie never shared in her sister’s love of Yanni’s white trousers, unlike their mutual best friend, Carl. The print that once hung on Roz’s bedroom wall of Santorini now hangs on Annie’s and she’s picked up the pen pal relationship with Kassia Bikakis where Roz left off.
Kassia, along with the rest of the Bikakis family, help run her mother-in-law’s namesake Eleni’s guesthouse on the Greek island of Crete. These days, Annie and Kas prefer email to snail mail and in their exchanges, Annie confides how much she hates her new boss and how much she loves the wedding dress she’s spotted in the window of an exclusive boutique. If only her fiancé Tony would actually commit to setting the date and if only she could get the dress to fit.
Annie knows she’s drifting along and that something’s gotta give but will she be like Roz and let it pass her by? Or will she be brave like Shirley and grab life by the seat of a pair of white trousers?

IF YOU LOVE AN EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER, DON’T MISS THIS COMPULSIVE AND SEXY PAGE-TURNER

Can Evie cure her heartbreak by escaping to a new life in the sun with hot rock singer Jake? Or can Joe convince her one last time that she belongs with him?

Joe is the only man she’s ever loved, since that long hot summer when she was sixteen. But how many lies is too many? Is it time to admit their marriage has fallen apart and they’ve finally reached the end of the road?

Devastated by his latest betrayal, Evie flees to her grandmother’s cottage in the stormy wilds of picturesque Cornwall, to grieve and make plans for an empty future without the man she believed was her soulmate. Alone and vulnerable, she falls under the spell of charismatic Jake who sweeps her head first into an irresistible and steamy affair.

Meanwhile, when Joe comes home to find Evie gone, he’s spurred into action to win her back. But his journey turns into the road trip from hell. Battling his inner demons and the worst weather the UK has seen in years, he has to drive the full length of the country to reach the remote Cornish cottage where Evie is hiding.

He believes he can persuade her to come back. But does he mean it when he swears he’s turned over a new leaf? Can he convince her one more time that he can change? Or has he left it too late to realise he’s always loved her?

Then a single moment of madness causes a tragic accident in a raging storm. An ancient bridge is smashed to matchwood and it seems that any hope of a happy future will be swept away. The old hurts are much too deep and forgiveness seems out of the question.

Yet someone can see the sunshine after the storm and he wants to share it with Evie. But is that what Evie truly wants?

Beaconby November Ellison

Pastor Joanna Benally leads a double life. On the outside, she’s dedicated to the work of turning around troubled churches. But inside, she is lonely and unfulfilled, keeping everyone at arm’s length to hide the shameful secrets of her past.

When Jo is sent to Newark, Ohio, on church business, she is knocked off her feet by a handsome redheaded young man who claims he is Cain, history’s oldest murderer–and a vampire. He’s taken it upon himself to butcher sinners, sadistically using his telepathic abilities to enjoy his victims’ terror and pain. As Jo struggles with the ethical dilemma of how to respond to this murderer, Cain slowly dismantles her carefully constructed isolation.

Then, when Jo kills two men in self-defense, an unexpected chain of events ushers her into a reality she never imagined possible. She learns she’s a “beacon,” a genetically marked vessel for the magnetic power that enables vampires to feed off of humans.

As danger and betrayal emerge in unexpected places and the line between good and evil blurs, Jo must choose between the truth of radical love and the safety of false appearances.

Action-packed, romantic, and thought provoking, Beacon explores the possibility that vampirism is both scientifically possible and part of God’s plan.

A Subtle Graceby Ellen Gable

FINALIST: 2015 IAN Book of the Year, Historical and Romance
“The plot tugs at the heart and gets the heart racing. Reading ‘A Subtle Grace’ was like riding a Victorian-era wooden roller coaster: a luscious historical setting that provides a tantalizingly dangerous thrill ride.” Erin McCole Cupp, author, Don’t You Forget About Me

1896, Philadelphia. In this stand alone sequel to “In Name Only” (2009, FQP), “A Subtle Grace” continues the story of the wealthy and unconventional O’Donovan Family as they approach the dawn of a new century. At 19, Kathleen (oldest daughter) is unmarried with no prospects. Fearing the lonely fate of an old maid, her impatience leads to an infatuation with the first man who shows interest. The suave, handsome son of the local police chief seems a perfect match. But will her impulsive manner prevent her from recognizing her true love? A disturbing turn of events brings a dark shadow that threatens the life-long happiness she desires.

Dr. Luke Peterson (the family’s new physician) also makes quite an impression on Kathleen. His affection for her leads him to startling revelations: about Kathleen, about his practice and, most importantly, about himself.

Will (oldest son) believes God may be calling him to a religious vocation. Eventually, he discovers the hidden circumstances of his humble beginnings compelling him to embark on a pilgrimage to Rome.

(Note: Although “A Subtle Grace” is a sequel, it can be read as a stand alone book, independently of the first book in the series.)

Reviews:
“‘A Subtle Grace’ is a masterfully written illustration of the difference between lust and love, between rashness and fortitude, between mere existence and truly living.” AnnMarie Creedon, author, ‘Angela’s Song’

“A Subtle Grace is a novel to stir your heart, your emotions, and your soul. I highly recommend it!”
Therese Heckenkamp, award-winning author, Frozen Footprints

“Beyond mere lust there is a healing hope which can bear not only joy, but a wonderful story – A Subtle Grace’ was very engaging and certainly kept me turning the pages.”
A.K. Frailey, author, the Deliverance Trilogy (www.akfrailey.com)

Then, when Jo kills two men in self-defense, an unexpected chain of events ushers her into a reality she never imagined possible. She learns she’s a “beacon,” a genetically marked vessel for the magnetic power that enables vampires to feed off of humans.

As danger and betrayal emerge in unexpected places and the line between good and evil blurs, Jo must choose between the truth of radical love and the safety of false appearances.

Action-packed, romantic, and thought provoking, Beacon explores the possibility that vampirism is both scientifically possible and part of God’s plan.

Beautiful Darknessby Victoria Zak

Step into the sexy world of the Fae Vampire sisters from the Scottish Highlands….

The Highlands are full of magic and fae trickery. Adaira, Leana, and Masie Keith know this all too well. Destined to change their fate, but unprepared for the truth, their journey begins as the sisters grow accustomed to their dark sides–forever beautiful–forever blood drinkers–forever Baobhan sith.

Accused of murdering their laird’s son, Masie and her sisters flee their home.

Masie is immediately conflicted, especially after she’s captured by Clan Gunn and falls in love with the laird’s brother. Her true identity must remain a secret. For if she tells her Highlander who and what she really is, she could be burned as a witch. And Masie would never endanger her beloved sisters.

The last thing Commander Kerr Gunn saw in his future was falling in love with a lass from Clan Keith, his greatest enemy. The moment he laid eyes on her, he was under her spell. With the woman he loves wanted for murder, will he surrender Masie to her clan to stand trial or protect her with his sword and fierce heart?

Being Shirleyby Michelle Vernal

“Who’s Shirley Valentine?”
Shirley Valentine was Roz’s favourite film. It was about a repressed, middle-aged housewife from Liverpool who spends her days talking to her kitchen wall. When she leaves her husband for an impromptu holiday to the Greek Islands with a friend, she rediscovers her lust for life and decides to stay.
Annie Rivers isn’t middle-aged; she’s thirty-one. She doesn’t hail from England; she lives in New Zealand and she doesn’t talk to the kitchen wall–just her cat.
Her late sister Roz had a passion for anything and everything to do with Greece, including Shirley Valentine and the New Age musician, Yanni. Just for the record, though, Annie never shared in her sister’s love of Yanni’s white trousers, unlike their mutual best friend, Carl. The print that once hung on Roz’s bedroom wall of Santorini now hangs on Annie’s and she’s picked up the pen pal relationship with Kassia Bikakis where Roz left off.
Kassia, along with the rest of the Bikakis family, help run her mother-in-law’s namesake Eleni’s guesthouse on the Greek island of Crete. These days, Annie and Kas prefer email to snail mail and in their exchanges, Annie confides how much she hates her new boss and how much she loves the wedding dress she’s spotted in the window of an exclusive boutique. If only her fiancé Tony would actually commit to setting the date and if only she could get the dress to fit.
Annie knows she’s drifting along and that something’s gotta give but will she be like Roz and let it pass her by? Or will she be brave like Shirley and grab life by the seat of a pair of white trousers?

School, Sex and Secretsby Sheila Michelle

18-year-old Rosemont High School student Vanessa Ellis from Las Vegas, Nevada loves finding out about other people’s secrets, but never imagined how it would be if people found out about hers. Her secret begins her senior year when she ends up in a secret relationship with 18-year-old John Catchton . . . and then in one with 18-year-old Brad Johnston who has a girlfriend and that’s not all. John and Brad happen to be very good friends with each other and go to the same school as her. But someone out there knows about her secret and lets her know it by sending her a series of threatening secret text messages, and this is not the only thing that she’s receiving. She’s also receiving unwanted roses that are always put inside of her car, so this now has her very cautious about the two that she’s secretly involved with and about whether or not her secret will be revealed. But it doesn’t take her long to feel uncomfortable about being in a secret relationship with John and Brad at the same time, especially since Brad has a girlfriend and there’s someone out there that knows about her secret, so she chooses to end it with one of them, and when she does, this starts a trail of even more secrets and lies. Also because of this choice, she ends up in an open, committed relationship that she doesn’t ever expect to be in, but what she doesn’t expect most of all is when a dark secret leads to a classmate’s murder.

Vanessa and her friends decide to conduct their own investigation into their classmate’s murder, and forensic science plays a huge part in their investigation, but the DNA results gives them news that they don’t ever expect to hear. Vanessa also doesn’t expect to hear who’s been behind the secret text messages and roses that she’s been receiving, and when the secret identity of the person is revealed, this changes the way she feels about the whole investigation. In addition to this, she also finds out that she’s more connected to this case than she ever thinks she would be, and because of this, she fears that she’ll be the killer’s next victim.

Sunflowersby Melodie Starkey

There’s nothing like a knock on the door at 3:00 a.m. to change your life forever. Gus Moore discovers how true this is when his ex-girlfriend blows in on an icy January night just long enough to dump “his problem” on the couch. From indolent single slob to competent single parent, Gus’s metamorphosis over the next six years is astonishing.
All is going swimmingly for Gus and his son, Sam, until two women complicate their lives: Sarah, with whom Gus has an unsatisfactory friends-with-benefits relationship, and Maureen, his son’s bipolar mother, who has decided she wants back into her child’s life. Maureen’s illness is a subtextual presence that eventually steers the course of the novel.
Sunflowers, which takes its name from the Van Gogh studies of the same, will appeal to a wide spectrum of contemporary fiction readers. Refreshingly, Gus does not have the stereotypical Mr. Mom awkwardness of being a single parent (although he does “outsource the Jesus stuff” to the mother across the street), and there is no predictable “happy couple works it out” ending.

Sunflowers is the author’s second book. Her young adult novel, View from the Closet Doorway, won the 2008 SouthWest Writers Conference award in its genre, and she received a grant from the Illinois Arts Council for another novel in progress. Her short story, Stars, won the South Carolina Fiction Writers award and was later included in an anthology of Southern writers. She has also published multiple stories in literary magazines.

Dumb Athlete: How My Biggest Fear Became My Biggest Motivatorby Chris Sain

Not all legend is about victory. Sometimes it’s about the struggle.

Spearheaded by the media’s portrayal of African American men, it is believed by many, that most urban inner-city youth will be dead or in jail by twenty-five.

Faced with some of the same challenges and growing up under the same conditions, how, then, did one grow up to be more than what society expected and predicted? More afraid of being labeled “dumb,” than dying or going to prison, Chris, with book smarts, street smarts and common sense, earned both a Bachelors and Master’s Degree by the age of twenty-four, defying the odds and showing what is possible for all urban youth when they discover their purpose. Chris Sain Jr. the author of Dumb Athlete, an incredibly inspiring memoir, reveals his journey through the first twenty-four years of his life and what anyone can do to make it out and make a difference.

But someone out there knows about her secret and lets her know it by sending her a series of threatening secret text messages, and this is not the only thing that she’s receiving. She’s also receiving unwanted roses that are always put inside of her car, so this now has her very cautious about the two that she’s secretly involved with and about whether or not her secret will be revealed. But it doesn’t take her long to feel uncomfortable about being in a secret relationship with John and Brad at the same time, especially since Brad has a girlfriend and there’s someone out there that knows about her secret, so she chooses to end it with one of them, and when she does, this starts a trail of even more secrets and lies. Also because of this choice, she ends up in an open, committed relationship that she doesn’t ever expect to be in, but what she doesn’t expect most of all is when a dark secret leads to a classmate’s murder.

Vanessa and her friends decide to conduct their own investigation into their classmate’s murder, and forensic science plays a huge part in their investigation, but the DNA results gives them news that they don’t ever expect to hear. Vanessa also doesn’t expect to hear who’s been behind the secret text messages and roses that she’s been receiving, and when the secret identity of the person is revealed, this changes the way she feels about the whole investigation. In addition to this, she also finds out that she’s more connected to this case than she ever thinks she would be, and because of this, she fears that she’ll be the killer’s next victim.

Garden of Shadowsby Meara Platt

Danger lurks for Julia Marsden, the daughter of the late vicar of St. Lodore’s Church in the quiet village of Borrowdale.

Julia doesn’t believe in faeries or magic or dreams coming true, but odd things have been happening at the vicarage lately that cannot be explained. Her orphaned cousin, Charlie, believes in mythical creatures and claims that faeries now inhabit the vicarage’s bluebell garden. The boy also claims the faerie king, Cadeyrn, has promised to make him a prince in his kingdom and teach crippled Charlie to walk again if he will cross into the Fae realm.

As the faerie king’s influence on the boy grows stronger, another threat emerges from the boy’s uncle – Douglas Hawke, the Earl of Eastbourne, who has come to wrench him from Julia’s guardianship. Julia is determined to fight both men, but as she and the boy begin to fall under the spell of the faerie king, Julia realizes that only her love for Douglas can save them.

But is Douglas capable of loving her, even at the cost of his own life?

Clémentine’s Uncommon Scentsby Jocelyne Lebon

Have you ever been hijacked? By your nose, that is? Have you ever been, at a mere whiff, snatched and catapulted into a time of remembered bliss? Or remembered grief? What if your nose was a veritable time machine transporting and immersing you, mind, body and soul into a past long gone yet as exquisitely vivid as the present?

On the surface, there is nothing remarkable about Clémentine’s nose: it has only two nostrils and sits roughly in the middle of her face. Yet when it is discovered that the six-year old has in fact the nose of a bloodhound, it soon converts her into a force to be reckoned with in the small hamlet where she is growing up. Is she angel or beast? Her bizarre attribute garners her praise but also subjects her to taunts and insults, until a searing humiliation brings her ambivalence to a tipping point, and upon reaching puberty she makes a decision which will change the course of her life by a few latitudes. How she handles and resolves her strong ambivalence is developed in this olfactory odyssey, a sensuous tale with comedy, drama, and romance, drenched in fragrant magic realism.
