Fortune’s Son by Jennifer Scoullar
About Fortune’s Son by Jennifer Scoullar
Heads you win. Tails you die …
Can one man’s revenge become his redemption?
Young Luke Tyler has everything going for him: brains, looks and a larrikin charm that turns heads. The future appears bright, until he defends his sister from the powerful Sir Henry Abbott. His reward is fifteen years hard labour on a prison farm in Tasmania’s remote highlands.
Luke escapes, finding sanctuary with a local philanthropist, Daniel Campbell, and starting a forbidden love affair with Daniel’s daughter, Belle. But when Luke is betrayed, he must flee or be hanged.
With all seeming lost, Luke sails to South Africa to start afresh. Yet he remains haunted by the past, and by Belle, the woman he can’t forget. When he returns to seek revenge and reclaim his life, his actions will have shattering consequences – for the innocent as well as the guilty.
Set against a backdrop of wild Tasmania, Australian Gold and African diamonds, Fortune’s Son is an epic saga of betrayal, undying love and one man’s struggle to triumph over adversity and find his way home.

Dead Cold by Jennifer Chase
About Dead Cold by Jennifer Chase
From the multi-award winning thriller series:
What happens when one California community has a disturbing spike in homicides? It catapults cops into a deadly game of murder. Frozen human body parts hideously displayed at the crime scenes offers a horrifying interpretation that only a sadistic serial killer could design—and execute.
On the hunt for a complex serial killer, vigilante detective Emily Stone must face her most daring case yet. Stone’s proven top-notch profiling skills and forensic expertise may not be enough this time.
Young and ambitious, Detective Danny Starr, catches the homicide cases and discovers that it will test everything he knows about police work and the criminal mind. Can he handle these escalating cases or will the police department have to call in reinforcements—the FBI.
Emily Stone’s covert team pushes with extreme urgency to unravel the grisly clues, while keeping their identities hidden from the police. With one last-ditch effort, Stone dangles someone she loves as bait to draw out the killer. She then forces the killer out of their comfort zone with her partner Rick Lopez, and with help from a longtime friend Jordan Smith. A revelation of the serial killer’s identity leaves the team with volatile emotions that could destroy them.
The killer continues to taunt and expertly manipulate the police, as well as Stone’s team, and as they run out of time—they leave behind everyone and everything—in Dead Cold.

It is a trip three years in the making and filled with planned stops for wreck diving, camping, and hiking. The water is deep, the wind is just right, and the sunsets are sublime.
However, there is also a reason that the majority of the Superior coastline is referred to as remote. When you are far away from home and help, you only have yourself to count on when danger approaches. And for Robin and Tristian Norris, what they find will be a nightmare.
It isn’t a question of will they survive, but who will survive?

Author Bio:
A chocolate mistress, Cassie Graham is a born and raised Arizona girl. Her sass knows no bounds and almost always has something kind to say, no matter the situation. She runs a platform of love and strives to bring those attributes out in every book she writes.
Cassie studied English and literature in college and has an intense love for fairytales. Go figure. Though she loves a good fairytale, she promises to always put her characters through the wringer for that happy ending. She started writing early in her high school career after an English teacher forced her to write in a journal. Four years and thirty-something notebooks full of words later, she found her passion.
Being a hopeless romantic, she found her love for romance after she fell in love at eighteen. Stories became a lot easier to write after she found her soulmate. Love exists and she’s blessed enough to live it every day.
If Cassie isn’t shoulder-deep in writing a version of a fairytale, you can find her front porch sitting with her husband and daughter, eating all the bread, gossiping with her best friends, visiting Disneyland, supporting strong women, listening to cheesy music and reading great books by amazing people. She loves binge watching Supernatural, drooling over Dean, Sam and Cas, and going to conventions. She also enjoys spreading love any chance she can. So, if you run into her, give her a hug or a high-five. She guarantees they’re magic.

Author Bio:
Reading has always been a passion of mine. I always wanted to become an author but it was a “someday” sort of goal. In 2017, I decided to make my dream a reality and began my first book. While I enjoy all fiction, historical novels particularly fascinate me – especially if there’s a little romance thrown in. I’m currently working on my debut series, Heart of a Miner, which is set in the Silver City area in the Owyhee mountains of Idaho in 1875.
My family and I live in Southern Utah, USA. I grew up on horseback and treasured any time I could spend riding through the red sands and sagebrush. My husband Randon and I have four children – including a set of twins. Nothing makes me happier than being a wife and mother…. but reading is a very close second!

We Lost the Sky by Marie Howalt
About We Lost the Sky by Marie Howalt
In the distant future when Tuscany is a desolate wasteland ruled by the forces of nature, Renn is abandoned by his fellow wanderers. As a dust storm approaches, he struggles to find shelter in the ruins of an ancient city. But he gets more than he has bargained for when he accidentally awakens a dormant creature which resembles the maddened Moon servants from his people’s legends.
Meanwhile, a teenage survivor of the lost civilization is keeping an eye on his old home, the one remaining great city, Florence. Unlike the city dwellers who rarely venture out of Florence’s protective domes, he scavenges long-forgotten technology while looking for others from his own time. And now he is building an army of artificial humans outside the city that no longer welcomes him.
The Florentines reject advanced technology and innovation. Yet, a restoration worker strives to learn engineering and longs to find out more about the strange relics that turn up on her workbench.
She is caught between the city’s, wealthy, protected neighbourhoods and its outer slums, determined to help the impoverished denizens. However, both endeavors mean working against her own father and the ideology of the ruling class.
As tensions mount in Florence, Renn and an unlikely new traveling companion are drawn towards the city. But danger is lurking around every dune of sand. It is going to take more than luck to avoid suspicious settlers and survive the turbulent weather conditions and fierce predators longing to put a quick end to their journey.
Profits from sales of We Lost the Sky will be donated to Hjernerystelsesforeningen, the Danish Post Concussion Syndrome Foundation.

Author Bio:
Marie Howalt was born and raised in a small North European kingdom called Denmark and started writing stories at the age of 11 after sucking the local library dry of science fiction and fantasy.
After graduating from the University of Copenhagen with a master’s degree in English studies and religion, Marie worked as a translator between English and Danish for years before sustaining an injury that caused the condition PCS (Post Concussion Syndrome). Because of this condition, Marie has chosen to donate the profits of book sales to the Danish PCS foundation in order to spread awareness and support to those affected.
Now Marie writes as much as physically possible, using a special monitor without backlight. The stories are a lot longer and quite a bit more complex than the childhood scribbles, but they still take place in the far future, fantasy worlds or alternate realities.
When not writing, Marie enjoys being a cat perch, drawing, reading (it turned out that the suburban library did not have nearly all the books worth reading in the world) and taking photos. And, of course, arguing with and bribing imaginary people to tell their stories.
We Lost the Sky is Marie’s first traditionally published novel. Several short stories have appeared in venues such as Every Day Fiction and Boned, and a few novels have been serialized online as well.

The Blockchain Code: Decrypt the Jungle of Complexity to Win the Crypto-Anarchy Game
About The Blockchain Code: Decrypt the Jungle of Complexity to Win the Crypto-Anarchy Game
Inspired by The DaVinci Code and The Big Short, the true story of cryptocurrency and Blockchain and the most accurate description of the technology written so far.
Conceived of as a technology to facilitate private transactions between anonymous parties, Blockchain is the product of the crypto-anarchist community called the Cypherpunks. This group was founded with the radical premise of someday eliminating all governments on earth. Later, a “less anarchistic” version of the technology was created by IBM and other companies. Advocates for both types of Blockchain have big plans to change the world.
Dave Kinsey narrates the origins of crypto-anarchy, unmasks key players, and explains the technology along the way. Non-technical readers and Blockchain developers alike will gain a deeper understanding of the big picture as well as the finer points of cryptocurrency and Blockchain as well as their potential uses and risks.

He has been a software developer, database administrator, and managed a software development team. He also managed a Swiss Bank-developed foreign currency application for the Treasury Department of Motorola, at a time when Motorola was one of the largest corporations in the world. Mr. Kinsey’s life experiences prepared him to unravel and explain the mysteries of cryptocurrencies and Blockchain. However, The Blockchain Code is a surprising book that he never expected to write.
While Mr. Kinsey has written extensively about technology, The Blockchain Code is his first full-length book. His primary occupation is operating Total Networks, an IT consulting and outsourcing firm that he owns and runs with his wife Stephanie in Phoenix, Arizona. In this capacity, Dave serves on a technology advisory group for The State Bar of Arizona. The Bar challenged Mr. Kinsey to help educate lawyers about Blockchain. The Blockchain Code is the response to that challenge. The Blockchain Code is a true-life mystery that became the focus of Dave’s writing activity for much of 2018.
Cinderella Didn’t Live Happily Ever After: The Hidden Messages in Fairy Tales
About Cinderella Didn’t Live Happily Ever After: The Hidden Messages in Fairy Tales
Did Cinderella live happily ever after? You might think so until you look more closely at the hidden messages in beloved fairy tales. In this book, fairy tales are analyzed in terms of the underlying messages about marriage, agency, power, suffering, and good versus evil, with a focus on how male and female characters differ in each of these areas. The analysis is a data-driven approach that provides clear evidence for the hidden messages in these beloved tales. The end conclusion is not whether fairy tales are good or bad but rather what messages they deliver about life, even if unintentionally.

No Limits by TC Matson
No Limits can be read as a STANDALONE.
One of the most highly anticipated Hayes brothers…
Kyce
Let’s face it—relationships are hard work, full of compromises and sacrifices I’m not interested in doing. I have no desire to be in once since having my heart trampled on. Cliché, I know, but that’s why I stick to sex only.
Best way to live.
Except everything changes when I’m kissed by a stranger.
One night.
That’s all it was supposed to be.
Friends with benefits.
Only that wasn’t going to be enough.
Life couldn’t get any better…until I broke the rules.
When feelings begin to tangle inside me more than our bodies between the sheets, that’s when everything changed.
Jolie
I hate men.
All of them.
Being left at the altar has left a nasty reminder in my heart to never get involved again. Swearing off men was easy after everything I’ve been through.
In a moment of desperation, I snatched a stranger by his arm and planted one on him.
It was perfect.
His lips.
The way he felt under my hands.
Everything about him was perfect.
Friends with exceptional benefits has never been so phenomenal.
He turned my life upside down.
Alone, I fell for him. Unrequited love is torture, especially when you have to keep it a secret, so you don’t lose him.
I messed up…I should’ve kept my stupid heart out of it. Now I’m scared of losing the one man I didn’t want to begin with.
There’s absolutely no way I can tell him how I feel…right?

“Dreaming in Reality…You dream in reality when you pick up a book and get lost in it. In my writing, I strive to take you to a place where reality and fantasy become a blurry line. Everything should be relatable. It could happen…couldn’t it?” ~ TC Matson
TC Matson loves to let her character’s voices be heard. With a head full of stories, she puts her keyboard through a beating daily. Matson sets her sights on writing stores relatable and real. And having an understanding that love isn’t always instant and full of flowers—her writing mirrors it. She isn’t afraid to push the envelope and touch bases of uncomfortable situation.
She’s a romance junkie at heart and an avid reader. Add those two together and she will devour books within hours, getting lost in the world the author creates.
Matson resides in the peaceful Piedmont area of NC with her husband and three boys, where staying hopped up on caffeine is the key to her sanity. Chaos is indefinite and a sense of humor is an absolute must.

The Part We Play by Austin Vasques
About The Part We Play by Austin Vasques
Iris grew up during the third world war. The Adults told her this should have ended in nuclear hellfire, the extinction of the human race, an apocalyptic wasteland, or a dystopian society. It’s none of those. World War Three surpassed the expectations of Adult and Child alike, and brought something thought impossible: Peace.
Her father fought for Peace, rallying all across Brazil and eventually Antarctica. His words brought the world to Peace, and although he died two months in, finally got to see his dream come true. Almost, at least.
Iris has yet to find it. She’s tried her hardest, following all the rules and listening to Medium’s advice, but it’s hard. It’s painful. How can she leave everything she’s ever known for something so alien?
Still, she does her best. All of them, all the Children, all the Adults, do their best to get there. On the ten year anniversary of her dad’s death, she meets with her final client. Once he’s healed, she is free to find it herself. A complication arises. An old threat is back, a routine continues, and the world is slowly going back to the old ways.
War is familiar, peace is alien; Peace must be kept.

I had a Fantasy. Everyone’s had it, I’m sure. These Fantasies played in my head during school, on the desk between two swordsman, on the chalk board that made up a green ocean, between the forest of metal trees that made up the desk seats. My Fantasies wouldn’t leave. Lucky for me, I found a good outlet. First it was reading, letting my Fantasies satisfy themselves between the pages of a good story. Then a question came: can my Fantasies do the same? A small encouragement later, and I was doing it.
I am Iowa born but Colorado raised. I like reading (I freaking love the Inkheart trilogy, but am currently getting into Game of Thrones), a little bit of gaming (I like single player games with Grand Theft Auto iv being my favorite of all time, but I like to pop into Battlefield or Call of Duty every now and then), and telling random, nonsense stories to my coworkers.
The Balladeer by Fred Calvert
About The Balladeer by Fred Calvert
On the “home front” in Kentucky during the Second World War, farm boys Bobby and Eldon Wayner were budding balladeers. They became fascinated with a recluse farmer, a German immigrant. They were told he was a Nazi, that he was crazy, and that he’d murdered his own family. The boys spied on him and discovered that at night he played a beautiful tune on his piano. Eldon, wanting to write a ballad about him, took a fatal risk.
Many years later, after time served in California’s Folsom Prison for a barroom killing, Bobby travels back to Kentucky. As he hitchhikes and rides the rails with his guitar, his ballads and memories reveal why he’d run away, and why he blamed himself for Eldon’s death as much as the man who had shot him. When Bobby gets home, he finds Judgment Day has been waiting.

Author Bio:
Ever since the age of twelve, JC Gardner has aspired to be an author. Writing stories became an escape, a way for her imagination to come alive on the handwritten pages of steno pads, notebooks and journals. A closet writer for many years due to a series of unfortunate events, when it came to sharing her writing, a cloud of self-doubt would follow that it wasn’t worthy or good enough; so it would stay buried, deep within a drawer, a satchel, or just locked up in her mind.
An extrovert by nature, slowly but surely her love of writing seeped into homemade greeting cards, personalized poems for friends, song lyrics and of course, lots of stories. What God has placed in your heart, no one can take away. It may be suppressed, even overshadowed, but writing stories is part of her DNA. Her debut novel, Sinful Liaisons, is a multicultural mix of risky relationships, intriguing characters and surprising plot twists. If you like suspenseful romance with a bit of spice, you will not be disappointed with this debut. After many years, JC is finally able to walk into her destiny. By day, she is a manager at a nonprofit agency; by night, she carves out time to spend with her husband and two children. And somewhere in the wee hours of the night, she writes. JC hopes to add “inspirational speaker” to her resume to help others keep the faith and follow their dreams.
