The Fires of War: The Tyranny of the Archangels  

About The Fires of War: The Tyranny of the Archangels

The mortal, Edward Ignis, arrives at the gates of Heaven to learn that the paradise he waited his entire life for is not as it seems.

A young angel of the Kingdom, by the name of Bethrael, embarks on a personal mission to hunt the ancient demon responsible for the slaughter of her brothers and sisters.

The two quickly find themselves on opposite ends of an ancient conflict between the Kingdom of Eden and the remnants of Olympus and Asgard. Though they believe themselves to be unimportant, the decisions they make will forever alter the shape of the land they occupy.

Fires of War takes the Heaven vs Hell trope and adds a new spin to it. What if the Heaven many believe in today occupied the same land as the mythology of ancient civilizations? What if mythology and theology were two sides of the same coin? We explore that world through the eyes of a naive mortal, a young and enthusiastic soldier of the Kingdom, a grizzled war captain, and many other recognizable faces from the lore of ancient mythologies and theologies.

About Zo

75% off the usual price – only 99c on July 19 and 20. 464 pages. A stand-alone book, not part of a series.

Sometimes, being a friend, means you believe the impossible…and, sometimes, the impossible happens. Four famous, aging Australians rush to help their childhood friend, Ally, when she needs them. They recall growing up together in the 60’s and 70’s, and how Ally saved each of them – in 2019, it’s their turn to help her. Desperate to have her back in their lives, they are even prepared to believe her stories of another life where she was in love with Lorenzo de Medici, the man who ruled Florence five hundred years earlier. But are they prepared to hear the dark secrets that lie behind her life and which threaten to destroy her?

An uplifting and inspiring story of love, resilience, and empowerment, of falling in love at the age of ten and when turning sixty, of growing up in Australia, and living in fifteenth century Florence. Most of all, it is the story of friendship.

The Marriage Bargain: A Small Town, Southern Romance by Yuwanda Black  

About The Marriage Bargain: A Small Town, Southern Romance by Yuwanda Black

PREVIEW

“You will accept my proposal, Daria. You will become my wife.”

“And what makes you so sure about your proposition?” I said. God I wanted to knock that smug smile off his addictively handsome face.

“Because you have no choice. So why fight it? Besides, it’s only a year. What have you got to lose?”

Everything! I wanted to scream. My hopes. My dreams. Genuine affection. Real love. I’d be giving up all of that if I agreed to become his wife — even if it was only for one year. What would be left of me after?

I had dreamed of being Glory Falkner’s wife a thousand times since I first met him at ten years old. But never once had my fantasy played out like this.

And that’s because it is fantasy, a tiny voice whispered in my head.

I turned around to face him. “We all have choices Glory.”

“In theory, yes. In reality, no. In your world, you may not have realized that fundamental truth. But you live in my world now.”

“And what world is that?” I asked, my arms folded across my chest.

“The real world,” he said, reaching over and tucking a tendril of hair behind my ear. “In the real world dearest Daria, only those with power have choices.”

I could feel the thumping of my pulse on the side of my neck where his hand had come to rest. He was so sure. So confident.

And no wonder; tears stung the back of my eyes as I realized the truth of what he said. I don’t think I’ve ever hated another human being as much as I hated him at that moment.

***

“Alright Glory, you have yourself a wife. But if you ever lay a finger on me, you will regret it. That I can promise you,” I finished, my eyes never leaving his.

His thumb caressed the side of my neck, the pulsing of my vein mocking my words.

“I like my women ready, willing and able Daria. I don’t see you qualifying on any of those fronts. So don’t worry darling, your virtue is safe with me.”

***

I watched Glory’s broad, ram-rod straight figure disappear through the large glass door. I’d managed to save my beloved art gallery from bankruptcy, but at what cost?

Would my heart pay the price for something much more valuable?

Author Bio:
Ms. Black has been a lover of romance novels since her early teens. She writes non-fiction as well as fiction, and has penned over 50 romance novellas.

She loves to travel, has visited over a dozen countries, and splits her “sitting still” time between Atlanta, GA and Negril, Jamaica. Why Jamaica? She explains:

I’m American. In 2009, I started travelling frequently to Jamaica (Negril). In 2014, I made the move permanent until 2019, when I transitioned back to the states.

I keep an apartment in Jamaica and still go back two to three times a year for a few weeks, or a few months, at a time.

ABOUT LIVING IN JAMAICA FULL-TIME

I loved the experience and advise everyone to soak up another culture for a period of time at least once. I learned a ton in the five years I lived there full-time, and it made me ever so grateful for things in my life that I’d largely taken for granted before this experience.

I always look forward to going back. My apartment (a studio) has a balcony and an AMAZING ocean view. I’m talking a 270-degree view that is about a 20-minute walk to the beach and 5 minutes to bars and restaurants.

THE THING I LOVE THE MOST ABOUT BEING A WRITER …

It allows me to live and work where I please. As long as I have an internet connection, I’m good to go.

I’ve worked everywhere from a hotel room in Barcelona, Spain; to a cafe in Stockholm, Sweden; to a farmhouse in Cordoba, Argentina; to a condo in St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands. As far as work, I feel like the luckiest girl alive most days.

RUNNING, RUNNING, RUNNING!

I’m also a marathon runner. I’ve completed two full and 8 half marathons (three of them being the Reggae Marathon in Negril). I’m always training for the next one (assuming the old knees hold up).

LIFE PHILOSOPHY

Just do it! As a runner, of course Nike’s philosophy fits who I am. 🙂

Dark Encounter  

About Dark Encounter

Some desires are better left untapped… I didn’t choose the life I’m living, and yet, I own it. My relief from the violence and blood is through fiction novels. No one knows and never will. It’s not appropriate, nor would it ever be accepted. As the son of the most violent mob boss in all of New York, I play the part well. And love is the last thing on my mind. I’d lose it the minute I got it anyway. So what’s the point? But then Grace appears. A sweet, innocent, virginal librarian with a bend toward romance books, or that’s what I see her holding in her pale fingers all the time. She’s far more than meets the eye, and from what I can tell, she’s not looking for love either. Just a dark encounter with a dangerous stranger in a quiet corner of the library. Good. I’m the right man for the job.

Devotion: For Love or Honor by Isabella Harron  

About Devotion: For Love or Honor by Isabella Harron

Ryan
I stepped out of bed this morning without delay excited for a Monday morning; this has been my routine since the second day of school Senior year, unlike the way I felt the day before.
The first day of school, I walked in, tired of football, girl drama, and worrying about what the future holds. It was on the tip of my tongue to ask if I can move up my date to join the military if I graduate in December instead of waiting until May, but promises made amid the heartbreak, control the choices I have now.
I walked the hall, debating my options on the way to my elective, Journalism, which I chose as an easy option. I continued my path, a daunting task when surrounded by cheerleaders fighting for my attention. Clueless, them, not me, a talent I developed freshmen year when I started playing varsity football while fighting off the senior girls. I learned how to seem interested. I have perfected the technique; I am a master at it. I am not a jerk or even a bad guy. I have not found a girl in this school that holds my interest; it is as simple as that. Until that day first period Journalism, breaking away from the group as the sound of the second bell rings, I made my excuses, walking into the classroom as if I owned the place. Another technique I had developed which hid my insecurity in this life, to all outside appearances, I am calm and confident when I am in all reality nervous as a kindergartner on his first day of school. I plastered my best one, a smirking smile working for me as I heard the collective gasps from the girls as I strolled into the room that is until I listened to her voice, rendering me speechless.
“Good morning Mr. Raines. How nice of you to join us.”
My eyes met hers, halting me in my tracks. With a pounding heart, dry mouth, and I was utterly silent. It could not have been but a second before I heard a clearing of a throat, witnessing as she pointed towards an empty seat, but to me, it felt as if hours had passed where I was lost, caught up in the spell. I found my voice.
“Good morning. Miss?”
“Mrs. Stephenson.”
My heart did this strange flip-flop while my gut churned, causing some crazy sea-sickness feeling as I am rocking in powerful waves. I take my seat supporting my jaw in my hand while my eyes roamed over every single inch of her body while she spoke. Her shiny brown hair reminding me of the warm chocolate sauce, my mom used to make and her eyes I am guessing hazel similar to mine, but when the light hits them from the large window, I swear they are green. She is tall but not too crazy tall; athletic built with very soft curves. She isn’t dressed sexy like some of the other teachers, a simple skirt molded across her hips and legs. Her shirt looks silky, short sleeves showing off her toned arms and I watch her every move hoping for her to bend enough for a glimpse of her breasts but the shirt hugs just below her collarbone.
I shift in my seat on the hard plastic chair having to remove my eyes from grazing her body if I don’t, I am threatening to break through my zipper.
That was the first day of school, the beginning of September. It is now March, and I continue to get excited each Monday morning because I know today I will get to see Mrs. Stephenson. I see her each morning starting our day. “Good Morning Mrs. Stephenson.”
“Good Morning Mr. Raines.”
Her cheeks blush as her feet move her past me down the hall, and once again, I am content today. I am still here, previous plans intact, except I have added a new goal to my mission for graduation night, to show Mrs. Stephenson how I feel about her.

Pooch ‘n’ Kitties: When Gigi Met Mimi by Tito Abeleda  

About Pooch ‘n’ Kitties: When Gigi Met Mimi by Tito Abeleda

A Touching and Memorable Story about an Unexpected, Deep Friendship between a Pooch named Gigi and a Feral Cat named Mimi and her Legacy of Love

“Animals have come to mean so much in our lives. We live in a fragmented and disconnected culture. Politics are ugly, religion is struggling, technology is stressful, and the economy is unfortunate. What’s one thing that we have in our lives that we can depend on? A dog or a cat loving us unconditionally, every day, very faithfully.” Jon Katz, American Journalist

Mr. Katz speaks the truth. POOCH ‘N’ KITTIES: WHEN GIGI MET MIMI is about my poodle pooch Gigi and her endearing friendship with a feral kitten named Mimi. Gigi was quite a playful, energetic pooch with me; however, she did not share that playful spirit with other dogs initially. One early morning, a cute feral kitten was looking through the glass of our French doors. Gigi saw this and immediately wanted to play with this kitten. This was so unusual because it usually took some time for Gigi to warm up to anyone new or unfamiliar. There was a genuine fondness of each other. Their playtimes became routine play dates in the morning before I went to work and then in the evening. What was so awe inspiring about this budding friendship was that there was no feeding involved. Mimi would come over like clockwork just to be with Gigi. Gigi looked forward to their time together. She would often just wait at the French doors in anticipation of Mimi’s arrival. In the interest of cultivating this friendship and protecting both, I adopted Mimi. But the story did not end there. It had just begun.

As an observer to this story, my belief that we only have one life to live has deepened. Tomorrow is not a guarantee. So, cherish each day, each memory, and each feeling. Honor, memorialize, and give thanks to those with whom you wish to share those feelings, while they are still on this earth with us. Life is too short just to end up regretting that some things that I should have done, could have done or would have done, have not been done. As such, this is my special thanks to my dog and kittens, Gigi, Mimi, Papi, Sophie and Glinda. They have added so much color to my life journey with their love and companionship. With a fusion of the written word, art and photography, this colorful book explores the joys of new friendship, the loss of a loved one, and the celebration of the circle of life – a perfect way to bring the family together to enjoy together.

Author Bio:
Tito Abeleda, with degrees in music, dance, and law, has a very eclectic background. Tito has spent over 10 years as an attorney in child welfare advocating for children’s well-being, helping reunite families, strengthening family bonds and finding new homes for children without parents through adoption. As a witness to the unconditional love that pets give, he wants to share that same joy with children and families through Pooch ‘n’ Kitties.

Prior to his law career in child welfare, Tito, was first a director and choreographer of a multitude of live shows across the U.S. and abroad for many years, In 1990 Tito then enjoyed a long 10-year chapter performing on Broadway, making his debut in a musical recreation of James Clavell’s novel Shogun: The Musical. Without pause he joined the cast of Miss Saigon in 1991 having performed with Jonathan Pryce and Lea Salonga. He left Miss Saigon when offered the role of King Simon of Legree in Jerome Robbins’ “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” ballet, in the 1996 Broadway Revival of The King and I with Lou Diamond Philips, Donna Murphy, Faith Prince, and Marie Osmond. After its closure in 1998, Tito returned to Miss Saigon, this time on its National Tour as its swing and dance captain until its closure in 2000. Two weeks later, Tito began his studies in law.

Feeling disconnected from life and searching for balance, Tito reconnected with the arts – this time with a focus in songwriting and producing. In 2017, Tito launched his independent record label Visionary Quest Records, creating and producing its own brand of music. Although initially classified within the dance genres, Tito’s music catalog’s growth has expanded its reach into cinematic, modern classical, orchestral, and new age genres. Its expanding musical diversity is defined by one mantra. “There is a story in every song, but the music holding this story is not complete until it finds its significant other, the listener who will cherish its message.” He believes that this is true for all artists’ creative works.

Tito’s published works reflect his diverse background. His published works include a law review article Digital Compensation: Recording Artists’ Collective Fight for Just Compensation 31. SW. U. L. REV. 701 (2002) that was published in 2002 by Southwestern University Law School’s Entertainment Law Review Journal in Los Angeles, California. Feeling the need to reconnect with the arts and creativity, Tito wrote and designed the graphic art and photo eBook Creating Yourself to Be the Man that You Desire with Courage, Motivation, and Inspiration published in 2016. It depicts his thoughts, poetry, and process of self-healing after leaving the adversarial driven nature of being a trial lawyer. He also wrote and designed the graphic arts and photo eBook: Thinking of You: For Your Man, Your Boo, or Simply Just You also published in 2016 as a tribute to love. In March and April of 2017, in honor of his Father and Mother, Tito composed and produced original orchestral works to pave the way for his upcoming orchestral album Tears from My Eyes: Song from Soul released in March of 2017.
