About Hot SEAL by Lynn Raye Harris

**FREE NOW**

Fake a relationship with his ex-wife? Not on your life!

When a terrorist steals a drug submarine, Navy SEAL Dane “Viking” Erikson finds himself thrust into his first HOT mission with an unexpected partner: his ex-wife, DEA agent Ivy McGill. Dane doesn’t want to work with the one woman who still twists him up inside, but he can’t refuse a direct order from his commanding officer.

Ivy’s on a mission of her own–to put the ruthless drug dealer she blames for her mother’s death out of business for good. If she has to work with Dane to get it done, she will. And she absolutely will not fall for his hard muscles and killer smile ever again. Once burned, twice shy.

But Dane and Ivy have never been able to keep their hands off each other. While they may believe that sex and love don’t intertwine, they’ll find out what’s real and what isn’t when a dangerous player takes matters into his own hands. They’ll need to be more than a team to survive what’s coming their way–and it’s not going to be easy!

About The Dreaming Land I: The Challenge by E.P. Clark

All’s fair in war. But what about love?

Valya is a warrior. It is her strong will that holds the steppe, the freest, wildest, most war-like of the provinces of Zem’, and it is her strong sword that defends it from raiders. But now, as a growing demand for Zemnian slaves threatens her people, a call from the Empress in Krasnograd requires Valya to leave her native land behind and take up her other duty, as unpopular heir to the Wooden Throne. In order to save her beloved Zem’ from the enemies both outside and inside its borders, Valya must find out what secrets her sister princesses are keeping, face up to her scandal-ridden past, and woo the son of the woman she hates most in the world. Valya believes that all is fair in war, but in love she’s not so sure. With the fate of her family and her country riding on her shoulders, though, there may not be time for scruples.

A continuation of the story begun in the award-winning novels The Midnight Land and The Breathing Sea, The Dreaming Land I is the first installment of the concluding trilogy of this epic saga about the matrilineal world of Zem’, where trees walk, animals talk, and women rule. This subversive blend of high fantasy and literary fiction will appeal to fans of classical Russian literature and contemporary fantasy alike.

Author Bio:
E.P. Clark starting writing fiction as soon as she deigned to learn to read, which was not particularly early–she spent a good deal of her childhood doing more important things, such as pretending to be a unicorn. Slightly later, she wanted to be a world-class equestrian. But, much to her surprise, the heavy finger of fate pointed her way and she ended up moving to Russia, which led, very circuitously, to her earning graduate degrees in Russian from Columbia University and UNC-Chapel Hill, and her current employment teaching Russian at Wake Forest University, along with some odd travel opportunities, such as almost being trampled by stampeding reindeer in Lapland. She continued writing fiction throughout all this, however, and has published multiple short stories and award-winning novels.

Author Bio:
B. J. Thompson is a retired public relations liaison and currently a Calgary, Canada-based freelance editor and author of three literary/historical novels;

• No More Blood – Epilogue to the life of Truman Capote & In Cold Blood
• Eighteen Minutes to the Beast – a Nixon Watergate Thriller
• Sessions – Predator vs. Shrink Who will survive?

The overriding theme in B. J.’s work concerns the process of death, where iconic people, disquieting ideals and/or milestone events are tweaked and warped ever so slightly to reveal an answer to a long-held mystery or a societal question. It’s in those final moments in life where the ultimate truth plays the only role.

Born and raised in the Lake Country District of southern Ontario, Canada and an only child to an RCMP Constable father and Industrial Accountant mother, B. J. who grew up very Anglo-Saxon, very Northern Irish. Funeral wakes were a large part of B. J.’s life, starting at the tender age of three, so death—its meaning and role in life—took center stage.

This author has done extensive traveling and now lives to swim, hike and fish in the Rocky Mountains, enjoy friends and family, and lead an avant-garde writer’s group likened on the 1920s Paris “Lost Generation” — Calgary Writers Montparnasse group on Facebook.

B. J.’s upcoming historical epic, AIR, tells of six US Navy sailors fighting to survive inside the capsized USS Oklahoma after the December 7, 1941 Pearl Harbor attack. All six, trapped below the sea, find out there can be far worse things in life than death. AIR is due to be released December 7, 2020.

About Fishermen’s Court by Andrew Wolfendon

“An exciting, fresh new voice… [a] gifted debut novelist.” — Best Thrillers

“A thriller of epic proportions, this is one of the most suspenseful books I ever had the pleasure to read.” — Readers’ Favorite

A fatal mistake on a drunken night in college comes back to haunt a troubled artist after eighteen years, threatening his friendships, his sanity, and his life.

Finn Carroll is a failed artist living a marginal existence in his dead parents’ home. So why would a team of killers want to murder him and frame it as a suicide? Finn survives the encounter to discover the killers have left behind a “suicide note” detailing a dark incident from Finn’s past no one could possibly know about. Finn escapes to Musqasset Island, his former home, to seek refuge with an old friend, but soon realizes he has trapped himself on the small island with the very people who want him dead—and with old debts that need to be paid. His only hope for survival, and redemption, is to figure out who’s trying to kill him and why they’ve waited eighteen years to act—no easy task in a raging nor’easter, where communications are shaky and relationships (and Finn’s mental state) are even shakier.

Duels of fire, clashes of swords, and an uncertain battle await them.

About Forces at Work by Taylen Calder

Tyler was barely fourteen years old when he mysteriously went missing without trace but his memory continued to cast a malign shadow over the troubled semi-urban community of Moorton in the north of England where lives were often not as they first appeared.

As a recently appointed officer in a crisis ridden social services department, Paige Emerson’s personal and professional boundaries were to become blurred as she was drawn into the fractured lives of those she worked with; some families on the edge of
disintegration, others who were prepared to go to any lengths to hide their activity below the sight of even the criminal underworld with a callous disregard for the safety of others, however vulnerable.

Then there was Clynton, a seemingly charming teenage orphan, who invited himself into Paige’s life and wrapped himself around her family changing it forever as his own past unfolded.

Forces at Work explores contemporary social issues during a time of change and uncertain moral values within a charged political atmosphere and whilst of particular interest to those in the social care professions as it raises a number of dilemmas it’s widely accessible as a stand-alone intriguing mystery thriller.

Author Bio:
Taylen Calder is a former child protection manager and chair of a small charity working within a rural community in East Africa.

Writing under a pseudonym, Taylen explains, “When writing, I draw upon real life experiences that bring, to my mind, situations and characters to life. Writing anonymously gives me a greater licence to draw upon those people and events whilst ensuring the work remains a piece of realistic and satisfying fiction.”

“Forces at Work’ will be of particular interest to social workers and foster carers as it explores many contemporary social themes and dilemmas faced by workers and carers in the course of their duties, but widely accessible to the wider reading community given its urban thriller themes and turbulent, disturbing conclusion.

Taylen spends time living between homes in the north of England and East Africa, which provides a tranquil setting for writing from a eco-house that rests thousands of feet up nestled into a mountainside looking down on a valley of rolling hills clustered with traditional African dwellings.

About A Not So Immaculate Conception

“KNOCKED UP meets THE PROPOSAL in this guaranteed laugh-out-loud romantic comedy!”

Lacey Winters had a perfectly plotted life.

Then, she had the most toe-curling dream ever—only it wasn’t a dream. And the blurred image of the charming, hot guy she once considered a figment of her imagination, just became the poster boy of her worst nightmare when she finds herself pregnant with no clue who the mystery man is.

The reason for her foggy memory? A case of transient amnesia brought on by… well… only the most mind-blowing… she’d rather not say.

Nonetheless, her boss is not having it. Terrified of unemployment and with her ten-year plan up in smoke, Lacey does what any woman with more brains than curves would do. She announces her co-worker Zak Cooper is her fake husband, then begs him to play along—just until the private investigator can give her answers. 

A set of unforeseen circumstances.

Fake kisses turned all too real.

And now she’s torn between a man she’s falling for and an unreliable list of potential fathers. With the delivery soon approaching, she must decide if life is better lived or planned.

About My Name Is Sam: … and Heaven Is Still Shining Through (Kindle Edition)

“A Beautiful Backstory and Follow-up Full Novel by Joe Siccardi”… ~Reviewer

My readers enjoyed my novella of “Heaven Shining Through” as reviews came in, readers wanted a longer story of Sam. I listen to my fans and introduce “My Name Is Sam …and Heaven is still Shining Through”…The Novel.

The morning sky is dark with rolling clouds as I sit on a boardwalk bench in Seaside Heights, NJ, just reflecting on how blessed my life has been. The waves are anxious, pounding the pristine sand in a precise, rapid rhythm. The boardwalk is empty except for a few early morning gulls and a man standing by the rail about 100 feet away.

As I huddle here, I close my eyes, soaking in the sounds of the surf, the fresh, clean smell of the air, the feel of the salt air enveloping me in the gentle breeze. Through the veil, I sense the clouds suddenly open. When I open my eyes I could see the gray sky punctuated by shades of morning pink and blue with a pure white center. You can’t see the sun but know it is just behind that one puffy, thin cloud.

Then rays shoot out in all directions. Immediately my thoughts dart to my early Religion class days and something my Daddy said. Sister Mary Louise was teaching us about Noah’s Ark. She emphasized God’s love for us as symbolized in a rainbow. She told us whenever we saw a rainbow, we should say a little prayer and thank God for loving us and keeping His promises. The class created individual rainbows on craft paper. I remember mine was far from perfectly arched with the colored crayons overlapping.

But I was proud of my six-year-old creation and couldn’t wait to show it to Mom and Daddy. Mom politely told me it was “beautiful.” Daddy peeked at it while driving and told me I did a good job. Then he said, “We might see a rainbow” since the clouds were dark and it was raining. We didn’t see a rainbow that day, but Daddy spotted the sun trying to peek through the clouds and pulled the old Plymouth over so we could observe. You couldn’t see the sun but knew it was just behind that one puffy, thin cloud.

Rays shot out in all directions.“Wow!” I said.“Isn’t that amazing?” answered Dad.“Yes, dear,” said Mom.“Look at how it sparkles,” I added. “Do you know what that is?” asked Dad. As I was shaking my head no, he said, “That’s heaven shining through” …Now, an ordinary life, yes, but good. No “ah hah!” moment, just a string of “ahs” weaving a tale of life, love, loss, some sorrow, but oh so much joy! That is my life. I recognize some drama, some humor, some heart tugs. I know because I lived it. Just a free-willed suburban Jersey girl trying to figure out this journey called life.

Today, as I lean back and continue to breathe in the salt water and feel the sun on my face, constantly reminded of God’s presence in the ordinary as He allows heaven to shine through. ~Love Sam

Author Bio:
Roshan was born on 26th June 2004. He was just 8 years old when he lost his younger brother who died because of Blood Cancer. His family was living in Bokaro Steel City. He belonged to a middle class family. Roshan when he was 8 years old, he was very naughty. He used to watch Television and no one was allowed to disturb him. If anyone did then he starts crying and if nobody notices then he tries to injure himself by smashing his head on the wall. He was interested in cricket rather than writing. But, in the year 2017 everything changed. He had a crush on his classmate. He used to talk to her and then he found out how to express his feelings for her. He started writing poems dedicated to his crush. He was siting right next to her crush, so whenever he wrote something, she read it. He became famous in his class for his poems. Roshan showed his poems to his English teacher and he appreciated him. His crush left school and at that time he was completely broken. Roshan’s career began when he showed his poems to his English teacher. His English teacher came to his father who was an employee in the same school he studies. His English teacher told his father about his writing skills. His father when reached back home gave him a book named “The Alchemist”. Roshan started reading that book and got inspired. Roshan wrote two books named “Love Defined” and “Friendship Defined” but due to some reasons he unpublished both of the books. After three months he wrote “My Vision”. Roshan reached out to many book publishers, he sent many mails to publishers but no reply came. Some book publishers liked his work but they demanded money. Roshan had no choice except self-publishing. He self published his book on Amazon only. Later, he created “The Journey Series” which included “My Vision” “The Start (currently unavailable)” and one more book which isn’t published yet. In the year 2018, Roshan expanded his writing by publishing his book on Google play, Barnes and Nobles, Apple books etc. He was invited by educreation publishing to publish his book. They gave him 50% discount but he declined it because of his economic condition. Roshan published two more books named “Dream World” and “Perfect” (Maybe the part of journey series). And In the end of 2018, he published “From Me To You” which was a collection of his poems. In the year 2019, he was nominated for the Young Writers Award.
