Traveling without warning. Nights lost to supernatural journeys. Is one young man fated to wander far from safety?

New York State, 1833. Noah Munch longs to fit in. Living with a mother who communes with ghosts and a brother with a knack for heroics, the seventeen-year-old wishes he were fearless enough to discover an extraordinary purpose of his own. But when he mysteriously awakens in the bedroom of the two beautiful daughters of the meanest man in town, he realizes his odd sleepwalking ability could potentially be deadly.

Convinced that leaving civilization is the only way to keep himself and others safe, Noah pursues his dream of becoming a mountain man and slips away into the primeval woods. But after a strong summer storm devastates his camp, the troubled lad finds his mystical wanderings have only just begun.

Can Noah find his place before he’s destroyed by a ruthless world?

Waking Up Lost is the immersive fourth book in the Adirondack Spirit Series of historical fiction. If you like coming-of-age adventures, magical realism, and stories of life on the American frontier, then you’ll love David Fitz-Gerald’s compelling chronicle.

Author Bio:

David Fitz-Gerald writes fiction that is grounded in history and soars with the spirits. Dave enjoys getting lost in the settings he imagines and spending time with the characters he creates. Writing historical fiction is like making paintings of the past. He loves to weave fact and fiction together, stirring in action, adventure, romance, and a heavy dose of the supernatural with the hope of transporting the reader to another time and place. He is an Adirondack 46-er, which means he has hiked all of the highest peaks in New York State, so it should not be surprising when Dave attempts to glorify hikers as swashbuckling superheroes in his writing.

Frostburg Burning by James Rada, Jr.  

Frostburg Burning by James Rada, Jr.

Between strike violence and a bootlegging war, no one is safe in Western Maryland.

Western Marylanders are anticipating a short visit from President Harding during the summer of 1922. While the local movers and shakers want to impress the President, Matt Ansaro discovers a coal miners’ union plot against the President. Matt sets about trying to disrupt the plot while maintaining his undercover identity as a coal miner.

The fallout from David Lakehurst’s time in Western Maryland continues. Before he fled the area, Lakehurst wrote a letter to the area union organizer, outing Matt as an undercover Pinkerton agent. Now, the union is trying to turn Matt into a double agent, so they avoid the law and strike the hardest against the coal mining companies.

Enos Ansaro is enjoying his time making moonshine deliveries because he loves driving. However, as the price of moonshine escalates, more people are looking to cash in on the profits. Some of them are dangerous, and the area verges on the brink of a bootlegging war while the strike violence continues.

The area is a tinderbox waiting for something to ignite it. That might be the kidnapping of Samantha Havencroft. She is Matt’s girlfriend and the daughter of the state college president. The bootlegging war has brought in federal agents looking to shut down operations, but the kidnapping will bring in the state authorities, too.

Harriet: A Jane Austen Variation by Spaulding Taylor  

Harriet: A Jane Austen Variation by Spaulding Taylor

NEW RELEASE DISCOUNTED FOR A SHORT TIME TO .99!!!

HARRIET is an intriguing and original “take” on Jane Austen’s immortal EMMA, by Publishers Weekly’s 2021 BookLife Prize quarterfinalist, Alice McVeigh.

Emma, a privileged young heiress, decides to mentor Harriet Smith, a pretty boarding-school pupil, and to matchmake her as eligibly as she can… But how is she to guess that Harriet has a secret?

Meanwhile, the brilliant, penniless Jane Fairfax consents to a clandestine engagement with Frank Churchill – though not daring to confess, even to him, that she is being relentlessly pursued by her best friend’s husband.

HARRIET sidelines Emma herself in favour of the ingenious Harriet and the fascinating Jane Fairfax. It is EMMA – but an EMMA with a surprisingly believable twist in its tail.

“A dynamic take on a revered classic. This is still Austen’s EMMA—but the story that unfolds through the recollections of these two “side” characters feels remarkably fresh… With or without an understanding of EMMA, HARRIET contains a fully-formed narrative that should satisfy even the choosiest Austen fans… Readers will rarely find the words ‘page-turner’ and ‘Jane Austen’ in the same sentence, but McVeigh’s impeccably written HARRIET certainly fits the bill.” (IndieReader)

Author Bio:

Alice (Spaulding Taylor) McVeigh is a multi-award-winning novelist, ghostwriter and tennis addict. Before taking her fiction seriously, she spent over 15 years touring with the world as a cellist with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Her first two contemporary novels were published by Orion/Hachette; her third, Last Star Standing (Unbound Publishing, 2021) a Kirkus-starred speculative thriller, is current a semi-finalist for the Cygnus Award and a Wishing Shelf Book Award (adult fiction) finalist, as well as a just-announced Distinguished Favorite (finalist) for the 2022 Independent Press Awards (Action/Adventure).

Susan: A Jane Austen Prequel was a BookLife 2021 quarterfinalist, rated 10/10 in Publishers Weekly (“This Jane Austen-inspired novel echoes the master herself.”) It won an IndieBRAG medallion, along with gold medals/First Place/the gold medal in the Pencraft and Global book awards. Shelf Unbound magazine selected it as one of 100 “Notable Indies” of 2021 (included non-fiction). It is currently shortlisted for several other prizes.

Her newest novel (Harriet: A Jane Austen Variation) has only just been published on Feb. 3, 2022. Just as SUSAN imagined a youthful Lady Susan, HARRIET imagines a Harriet Smith clever enough to appear stupid and malleable to the great Emma Woodhouse. It has over 100 reviews at 4.6 on Goodreads and over 4.5 on Amazon, and – at launch was #1 bestseller (not only in hot new releases) in Historical British Fiction.

A few of its editorial reviews:

“An immersive, high stakes, and heartfelt take on the classic – and a fantastic tribute to Austen’s Emma.” (Clarion Reviews)

“A dynamic take on a revered classic. This is still Austen’s Emma—but the story that unfolds through the recollections of these two ‘side’ characters feels remarkably fresh… With or without an understanding of Emma, Harriet contains a fully-formed narrative that should satisfy even the choosiest Austen fans… Readers will rarely find the words ‘page-turner’ and ‘Jane Austen’ in the same sentence, but McVeigh’s impeccably written Harriet certainly fits the bill.” (IndieReader)

Book of Star Demons by Colleen Valles  

About Book of Star Demons by Colleen Valles

I used to think not getting fired from my graphic design job was my biggest worry, until I learned an army of Aztec star demons were a breath away from being unleashed on humanity.

That’s when an ancient family book got lost, my sister got kidnapped, and I got powers.

Magical Aztec powers.

To save my sister, I have to work with a particularly crusty book dealer to find my family’s heirloom and turn it over to the kidnappers.

Only there’s a catch – the kind of catch that could have devastating consequences.

I just need to find the book, save my sister, and stop the kidnappers before the star demons descend on the world.

And before I accidentally set this grumpy book dealer on fire.

Book of Star Demons is an urban fantasy based in Aztec mythology. It features a snarky heroine, shapeshifters and a slow-burn romance.

Book of Star Demons is discounted for a short time. Get your copy before the price goes up on March 12!
