About Cinders and Fangs by J. Conrad
Destiny, dark magic, and secrets… and a wolf who can change everything.
Once upon a time, little Elin Kendrick lost her mother, and befriended a wolf pup. Years later, the little wolf was her most cherished memory while she suffered under the cruelty of her wicked stepmother and evil stepsisters, and her own father called her delusional. All she wanted was to uncover the truth about her mother’s disappearance… until it turned out there was a lot more to uncover, and she was running out of time.
With the Midsummer Rite approaching, Elin must decide whether to trust the strange woman who claims to be her grandmother. Should she follow her alarming advice which carries the promise of happiness? Or should she follow her heart’s desire and look for her mother and the young wolf who means so much to her?
Everyone is hiding secrets, and she was already betrayed by the one she trusted most. Can Elin learn to trust again and find her happily ever after, or will she and her true love end their lives in the evil witch’s trap?

Twissted Eventide – Snow Covered Moon
About Twissted Eventide – Snow Covered Moon
My name is Jaevia Knightley, Jae for short, a daemon, a mutt, a mix breed, half succubus, half vampire. I once was part of a great organization, the Kindred, our only charge, to police the other supernaturals of the worlds. The Kindred and I came to a crossroads so to speak and I decided to not be one anymore, only problem? Well you really can’t stop being Kindred, it’s a lifetime thing. I’ve escaped to the human world and now hide as a proud citizen of Baltimore, Maryland, always with fear that the Kindred will send Reapers after me. So when they send their very best bringer of death you can imagine my surprise when instead of ending up rotting in the dirt I end up becoming a Grigori, a watcher, charged with being the eyes, ears and hands for the Kindred. I don’t know why I’ve been given this chance only that messing this up will drag myself and everyone I’ve ever cared for down with me.
My first case, missing werewolf carriers, the Batardi the bastard children of supernaturals they carry the DNA sequence of their supernatural parent but aren’t supernaturals themselves. So many have gone missing, even the Kindred want to know why. Failing to solve this case is not an option not for the missing wolf carriers or for me.

A Nighttime of Forever
Sarah Wright woke up a few times after parties in strange places―but the morgue’s a first.
At eighteen, she’s eager for a taste of independence, moving out of state to attend college. A change of scenery is extra-needed due to a bad breakup with her boyfriend, Scott. However, soon after escaping the body cooler, she makes two startling realizations: vampires are real, and she is one.
There’s nothing quite like an untimely death to ruin plans. California’s sunny beaches aren’t the best place for vampires to chill, and worse, not only does she wind up stuck in Seattle, she’s still living (figuratively) with her parents.
They take the news surprisingly well―after all, it’s better than burying her―even helping move her bedroom to the basement. A disinterested sire, distraught friends, nosy Men in Black, and awestruck younger siblings complicate her adjustment to the new normal of being an immortal still subject to her parents’ rules.
Undeath has its perks, but it also brings enemies. Without a copy of ‘Fangs for Dummies,’ Sarah’s left scrambling for answers when one such new enemy attacks her siblings and friends. If she can’t figure out how to vampire, her attempt to spare her family the grief of losing her may wind up killing them.

Pinfall
Skylar Green is a son to a fallen father, a nephew to a widowed aunt, a friend to a refugee dwarf, a brother to orphaned boys, and a project for his sister. On Sky’s feet are well worn shoes, and his face is smeared with the dust of the mines, the trappings of poverty. Victor Hugo would have called his family Les Misérables. Like Hugo’s everlasting Val Jean, Skylar must find his way and must give all of himself to save those who are in his care.
Can a quiet life withstand the bludgeoning of chance?
The callused heart of Sky will come to serve him well as the ravens of war come to scavenge it. His mother’s body will catch some of the thousand thousands of arrows which descend on his village suddenly as they are celebrating outside around a table strung up with paper lanterns. His family will be ripped apart.
Skylar’s sister, Hannah, does not have a face for romance, but has a heart that longs for it. A love between her and a refugee dwarf, Asgar, will become broken as they are taken prisoners of war. A tale of love and revenge is ripe for the telling, but are the players up for the task? Some will hear the funeral dirge and refuse to mourn, and some will hear the wedding song and refuse to dance.
Skylar must discover the power within him and decide if each day is worth the cost or will oblivion wipe away the pain of a wearied existence.

I’m a Scot, living in New Zealand and I write kissing books that make people laugh.
7 random things about me:
1. I accidentally mooned a crowd at a Bolivian wedding.
2. I’ve been chased by a gang of baboons. And I mean gang. They were organised and vicious. All that was missing was their leather jackets and tattoos!
3. I wrote my first novel when I was 22. It was a cross between Star Wars, Monsters Inc. and Tinkerbelle. Funnily enough, no one wanted to publish it. Odd that…
4. I was a portrait artist on the streets of Amsterdam for a time.
5. I worked night shift as a security guard at Stirling Castle in Scotland while I was in college. The castle was on a terrorist hit-list back then. To defend it they gave me a flashlight, a two-way radio that only worked one-way and made me wear a polyester A-line skirt…
6. I taught art at summer camp in America – twice. The first time I met my Dutch husband and he took me back to Holland as his souvenir. The second time I got strep throat, a weird rash, food poisoning, a sprained ankle and accidentally dyed my hair green…
7. I once got locked in a shop when it closed for the day. The staff went home. I had to call the police to come get me out.

Hosta Seizure by Jim Henry
About Hosta Seizure by Jim Henry
Herman Funk, aka Funky, makes his living as a gardener in the small town of Lewes, Delaware, with special expertise in hostas. When an anonymous poetic riddle about hostas surfaces at the public library, it re-awakens the decade-old missing person case of Elisabeth Burgess, an eccentric English professor who was one of Funky’s former clients. The police question Funky once again, suspecting homicide. Cub reporter Stuart Green is assigned to the case, and Funky shares that he has been hearing voices—the voices of hostas that have cracked the human-plant communication barrier. It is urgent that Funky find Elisabeth first to save their genus from an evil force, the hostas emphasize, and Funky and Stuart team up as amateur sleuths to solve the riddle.
Meanwhile, Demetrio Perez struggles as an immigrant gardener. His wealthy client, Agnes Doolittle, advises him to steer clear of another client: Burton Prettyman, a narcissistic philanderer with a shady past who tempts Demetrio with a fraught deal. Agnes blossoms from a reluctant hosta collector into an amateur sleuth, too, as two tales converge under the hostas’ transcendental mantra: The destiny of each is tied to all.
KIRKUS Reviews calls Hosta Seizure “quirky and creative” and a “one-of-a-kind mystery.”
Hosta Seizure in Kindle format on Amazon will be discounted to 99 cents on June 15, 16, and 17.
