There’s No Such Thing As Vampires by Heather Masterson
About There’s No Such Thing As Vampires by Heather Masterson
Casey was the girl who got away. Twice.
The first time, she got away because he was afraid.
The second time, she disappeared.
When the police found her car abandoned and bloody on the side of the road, Joe thought he had lost her forever.
Six months later, Joe went camping, was nearly murdered, found Casey in the woods, and then went a little insane.
It seemed like the thing to do at the time.

All Ryan had to do was fly to Colorado and do a security assessment on a paranoid old lady who’d started seeing boogeymen in the bushes. She wouldn’t tell his employers what the problem was. Not over the phone, anyway.
She told the neighbors that the businessman who’d purchased her dead husband’s property was a vampire.
It was supposed to be an easy job, but when Ryan arrived too late to prevent the old lady’s murder, everything started going wrong.
Vampires don’t exist, but some kind of monster was out there. The least Ryan could do was look into it.
It seemed like a good idea at the time.

Author Bio:
“Lina J. Potter has been dreaming up stories for as long as she can remember. She started putting her tales on paper when she was around ten years old, and, according to her own words, continued happily scribbling ever since: “Call it inspiration, the voice of a Muse, or plain obsession… but I felt I had to write it down or else my brain would explode with all these characters longing to come alive”.
However, Lina did not feel ready to share her writing with the world until recently, when in 2011 she submitted an extract from her historical fantasy novel, I am Sophia, to an online magazine. Immediately after, Lina J. Potter was approached by e-talent scouts representing publishers and other literary companies. Since then, there was no looking back for Lina J. Potter, who quickly turned into one of the most published and widely talked- about (yet least public!) romantic fantasy authors in the country. Her impressive publications list speaks for itself, and we are thrilled to announce that her first few bestsellers are now available in English.
Nowadays Lina J. Potter lives in the town of Tambov with her husband, daughter and two cats. She has a light-hearted approach to writing. Whenever she is not writing, you can find her practicing karate and lace-making. She avoids personal publicity and shies away from the literary limelight, preferring her quiet life to focus on writing.”

Author Bio:
Luisa Marietta Gold was born in Pennsylvania where she spent a large part of her adult life. She moved to North Carolina after the birth of her only daughter. She published her debut novel, Escape to Osprey Cove, which is Book 1 of The Osprey Cove Lodge series in September 2016. The Osprey Cove Series was born from Luisa’s love of the Rideau Lake region of Canada, the outdoors, and lake life. She spent many years enjoying the Rideau region while staying in lodges reminiscent of the lodge in her first novel. She currently resides on eleven acres in her North Carolina home near an idyllic lake with her husband and several mixed labs. She spends as much time as possible enjoying the beauty of the lake. Luisa also does acrylic painting. The cover of her debut book which features The Lady Droxell on a Canadian lake was painted by her. It was very satisfying to Luisa to know that she created the entire project. There is a tea room not far from her home where one selects a hat to wear while dining as did Libby and Rosalind in the book. And sometimes they are silly. Luisa’s bio picture was taken there.
The Doves of Castle Dunbrair
About The Doves of Castle Dunbrair
For centuries, mourning doves nesting in the forest surrounding Castle Dunbrair
have protected the inhabitants of the castle and the bearer of a powerful silver ring on a
silver chain.
Michael of Dunbrair, a 12th-century knight in the army of Richard the Lionheart,
has fallen in love with the queen’s adopted daughter. However, since Catharine is unwillingly betrothed to another, all they have are fleeting moments, during dangerous
secret meetings. When Richard is wounded, their least likely ally intervenes.
Flash forward to 1967, and Catharine Saunders is emotionally devastated as she struggles with the brutal deaths of her parents. Michael, her soulmate, had always been
there to love and protect her, but has disappeared, leaving her to cope alone.
Catharine builds a new life and new friendships, yet is unaccountably haunted by episodes of déjà vu, and by strange, inexplicable visions that always include Michael,
castles and knights – and the mysterious, ever-present doves, which seem to follow her everywhere…
Is she going mad? Or are these strange happenings surfacing of memories of a past life?

C.S. Catlin
London, England.
Does it matter when?
My eclectic background includes British, Italian, Canadian, and Mexican influences, which together have produced a kaleidoscope of ideas, expressions, and traditions that I believe has enriched my thinking and writing.
I have accumulated several unpublished manuscripts, shorts stories, essays, and countless poems. For a year and a half, I contributed freelance stories for the daily newspaper, ‘El Sol de Toluca’, in the state of México. My column, “Introspección Femenina” (Feminine Introspection) covered a wide range of everyday topics from women’s health issues, new-age innovations, environmental concerns, to mentioning the latest works of local artists and authors.
Reading has been one of my passions ever since I can remember. When I lived in cities with public libraries the best part of a Saturday morning was spending hours browsing for new titles to devour. Take me to a Barnes & Noble today and I’m like a child let free in a toy store. Music is an integral part of my life, especially piano solos that I play while I write, and movies, I love to get lost in a good story.
My first book, “Una Razón Para Vivir”, (A Reason to Live), was self-published in Mexico. The reason I wrote it was to share my emotions and experience after our 17-year-old son completed suicide. Subsequently, I became a public speaker and advocate, focusing attention on the urgency of recognizing and preventing the increase of adolescent suicides. The English e-Book version is presently under reconstruction. Please contact me if you would like a copy of the physical book in Spanish.
It took me nearly five years to write “The Doves of Castle Dunbrair”. Would I have taken on this challenge if early on someone had told me that it would take that long? Most definitely! Because this story had long been in my mind and had haunted me until I finally put pen to page… or, in today’s world, fingers to keyboard.

On His Terms
Fleeing an abusive relationship normally doesn’t lead to a contract.
After being burned by an ex Nicholas doesn’t trust easily. However, his refusal to have a serious girlfriend threatens everything he has spent the last five years working to accomplish. Somehow, instability in his love life has convinced the public that he can’t manage a multi-billion dollar investment firm. If he doesn’t change things quickly, he’ll risk losing everything he’s worked his entire life for.
To solve his problems, Nicholas hires Kenzie to be his pretend girlfriend. With the terms of their contract firmly in place, Kenzie is confident this arrangement will allow her to ditch at least one of the deadbeat jobs she’s endured to keep from returning to the horrors she left behind.
Keeping their arrangement completely professional slowly becomes complicated as attraction rises to the surface. Both of their futures are riding on this arrangement working and neither can afford to lose the other.

Author Bio:
My name is Mike Solyom. I am not a superhero or a special operator, but I’ve always enjoyed stories about them. Like others before me, once I got through enough of these stories as a fan I caught the bug. It was no longer enough for me to read these stories, I wanted to make them. That led me to write my own stories of heroic people in action.
A little bit about me: I’m an immigrant from Hungary. My family brought me here as a kid to get away from the scourge of Communism. As it turned out they picked the right country for that because America is awesome. Once I was old enough I joined the military as a way of saying thanks to a nation that had treated my family so well.
After two enlistments as a computer programmer in the Air Force I was offered a job doing the same thing at the National Security Agency. Yes, that one. That is where I learned that the world and how it is portrayed on television are in fact two totally separate and parallel realities.
Following almost a decade at the NSA I was offered a new opportunity at a different organization that I’ve really enjoyed. It was at this time that my interest in writing took off. I’ve finished my first few novels since then and several shorter works.
As a new author its pretty much impossible to tell how things will turn out. But regardless of how well my work sells I know for certain I enjoy making them, and I hope you will enjoy them too.
The Nemesis Origin by Dean Crawford
About The Nemesis Origin by Dean Crawford
Discounted for a limited time! The first in Sunday Times best seller Dean Crawford’s epic Warner & Lopez series!
The legends of ancient cultures contain near-identical descriptions of fiery objects that arrived from the sky, of wise beings that brought them knowledge, and of a great flood that destroyed their cities long ago. Modern archaeology dismisses these legends as myths. Ethan Warner knows better.
Around the world, in the ancient tombs of long lost civilizations, the discovery of bizarre humanoid forms sends the Defense Intelligence Agency on a new mission to discover the lost secrets of humanity’s past.
Ethan Warner is living alone in the wilderness when he is tracked down by Dr Lucy Morgan, a scientist who has located several of the enigmatic remains. She brings ominous news: there are more being found, and there are people willing to kill to obtain them.
Ethan and Lucy are hurled into a global conspiracy that will take them from the deep waters of the East China Sea to the sweltering jungles of Cambodia, from the deserts of Egypt to the soaring heights of the Andes mountains. They must locate and excavate the remains of ancient people whose DNA carries a cure for a disease born of a species not of this Earth and, incredibly, a message from our ancient past…

Delivered with refreshing humor and honesty, this common-sense approach to weight loss will have you wonder why everybody isn’t applying the methods suggested in this no-nonsense, straight forward health and weight loss guide.
This handbook is not a manual for people looking for quick fixes, rapid weight loss, nor is it a cleansing diet.

This easy to understand weight loss guide provides much-needed simplicity on a topic that has been muddled with unnecessary complexity.
Incidentally, there are lots of ways to lose weight but few ways to keep it off in a healthy sustainable way such as demonstrated in this health guide.

For a little over two years, what started out as a personal journey to weight loss and better health, evolved into a quest to offer the perfect guide to simple, healthy weight loss solutions for all; but more precisely aimed for women.
Entrepreneur, author, and founder of Greatday2start.com; a flourishing weight loss, body & soul internet wellness stop, Carole St-Laurent observed that the market offered an abundant selection of weight loss diet books. However, many endorsed complicated possibilities voguing between keto, paleo, vegetarian, Atkins, Mediterranean, and so many more… it’s not surprising why so many in search of the perfect weight loss regime drown under the fat loss wave.
The author consequently felt impelled to offer a much simpler solution for anyone wanting to seriously lose weight but most of all, aspiring to feel better in their bodies.
With a profound interest and belief that food is the conductor in the symphony of our health. Carole explored, tested, and researched the trendiest diet plans and world-renowned nutritional studies related to the wellbeing of the body and mind.
The result is this effective, and easy to read guide to weight loss and better health.
