Author Bio:
TWO TIME BRONZE MEDAL WINNER OF THE READERS’ FAVORITE CHICK LIT AWARD FOR THE ROYAL TREATMENT (2017) AND WHISKED AWAY (2019).

Melanie made a name for herself with her debut novel, Break in Two, a contemporary romance that cracked the Top 10 Paid on Amazon in both the UK and Canada, and the top 50 Paid in the USA. Her highly acclaimed Full Hearts Series was picked up by both Piatkus Entice (a division of Hachette UK) and HarperCollins Canada. Her first three books have been translated into Czech and Slovak by EuroMedia. Since 2013, she has written and published eleven novels and three novellas. She has sold over a quarter of a million books around the globe.

In her previous life (i.e. before having children), Melanie got her Bachelor of Science from the University of Alberta, then went on to work in the soul-sucking customer service industry for a large cellular network provider that shall remain nameless (unless you write her personally – then she’ll dish). On her days off, she took courses and studied to become a Chartered Mediator. That designation landed her a job at the R.C.M.P. as the Alternative Dispute Resolution Coordinator for ‘K’ Division. Having had enough of mediating arguments between gun-toting police officers, she decided it was much safer to have children so she could continue her study of conflict in a weapon-free environment (and one which doesn’t require makeup and/or nylons).

Melanie resides in Edmonton with her husband, three sporty nerd children, their adorable but neurotic one-eyed dog, Lucy, and a small furry dictator named Nelson. When she’s not writing novels, Melanie loves reading (obviously), snuggling up on the couch with her family for movie night (which would not be complete without lots of popcorn and milkshakes), and long walks in the woods near her house. She also spends a lot more time thinking about doing yoga than actually doing yoga, which is why most of her photos are taken ‘from above’. She also loves shutting down restaurants with her girlfriends. Well, not literally shutting them down, like calling the health inspector or something–more like just staying until they turn the lights off.

She is represented by Suzanne Brandreth of The Cooke Agency International. Melanie Summers also writes steamy romance as MJ Summers.

Seducing My Valentine by Krystyna Allyn  

Seducing My Valentine by Krystyna Allyn

Harmless crush…Right
You’ll get over it…Whatever
You haven’t met the right girl yet…

Bull***t.

I knew Carrie was the one, despite my friends’ attempts to convince me otherwise. The heated kiss we shared that night before I left for college sealed the deal. There was just one problem.

She wouldn’t touch me with a ten-foot pole.

“I’ve known you since you were twelve,” was her first excuse.
“Your family wouldn’t approve of this,” was her second.
By the time I reached my thirties, when I was finished with all of her denials, her final excuse, turned my world upside down.

“I’m not good enough for you,” she had said, her words breaking my heart.

I’m done taking no for an answer. I’ll prove her wrong, put her back together if I have to. What’s the famous saying? Age is just a number, and hers has finally come up.

Will the Martins change their family’s fortunes, or will the summer vacation end in a tragedy?

Author Bio:
“She is a master of suspense, intrigue and holding the reader’s attention”
Having grown up in London Ms Gaskell Denvil fell in love with the history which oozed through the old stones. For many years, she walked the cobbled lanes and researched the 15th century from the original sources and worked for some time at the British Museum in the Department of Ancient Documents.

Barbara Gaskell Denvil’s father was an artist and playwright, her mother a retired teacher and her sister a published author at sixteen. Ms. Gaskell Denvil therefore had no other passion but the arts and books. She started writing articles and short stories for magazines and newspapers. She was also a tutor for scriptwriting, and a reviewer for Books and Bookmen. Since her children had grown and her partner had died, she started writing full length fiction again, and in all her favourite genres.

Her work was accepted by Simon & Shuster, and two of her historical mysteries were published in the traditional manner. However, although successful, she found herself disliking the control system with covers she hated.

Ms. Gaskell Denvil now self-publishes her work and enjoys every minute. Living in Australia, she adores experiencing a placid life during the day and a wonderfully exciting one in her dreams at night.

She has written fantasy and historical fiction. Very different genres, but most are crime mysteries in one way or another. She has also now finished the six books in her children’s series (Bannister’s Muster), no crime, but a vibrant mixture of history and fantasy.

Adding to her catalogue, she now includes a series of modern crime mysteries, with more fantasy to come. Writing is and always has been her passion.

Forgotten Valor: A Novel of the Korean War by Richard Thomas Lane  

forgotten valorForgotten Valor: A Novel of the Korean War by Richard Thomas Lane

An untested lieutenant. An unwinnable war. An impossible choice that could tear his platoon apart. Korea, 1950. Lt. Jonas Stuyvesant’s privileged upbringing hadn’t prepared him for the hardships of war. But when North Korea launches a surprise attack, he and his ragtag platoon suddenly find themselves on the front lines of a war not even Washington expected. And instead of North Korean peasants armed with pitchforks, Jonas and his fellow soldiers find themselves up against armored Soviet tanks and battle-tested hardened soldiers. Outgunned and outnumbered, his platoon retreats from Osan through Taejon on down the whole length of the Korean Peninsula until their backs are pressed against the sea. As the war-weary troops hunker in for a final stand, a twist of fate gives Jonas a chance to leave the deadly frontline far behind. Before their attackers close in, Jonas must make an impossible choice: leave his brothers-in-arms facing the enemy alone or sacrifice everything to stand by their side to the bitter end. Forgotten Valor: A Novel of the Korean War is a visceral work of historical fiction covering the first three months of America’s forgotten war. If you like under-examined military history, gritty details, and soldiers’ perspectives, then you’ll love Richard Thomas Lane’s story of courage under fire. Buy Forgotten Valor to march into an action-packed story of courage in the combat zone today!

My Texas Streak by Lindsey Cowherd  

My Texas Streak by Lindsey Cowherd

Tyler Bailer was on top of the world. With his horse, My Texas Streak, he was on his way to winning the biggest events on the Pro-Rodeo circuit. That was, until My Texas Streak was stolen after an rodeo. With no hide nor hair found of the stallion, Tyler is forced to returned home to his family’s ranch in Gunnison, Colorado. Somehow, he has to figure out what to do with his career without the horse that will get him there…

Sarah Murphy has come home after a trying few months at medical school. A retreat to her family’s Fairview Ranch in Colorado seems the best course of action to regroup from all the craziness. Back home, she rejoins the family’s horse training business, with their specialty in “horse whispering” abused animals. A call about an abandoned horse found in open range near Gunnison is just the excuse she needs to forget everything she left behind in California…

Their two worlds are about to collide, and My Texas Streak is the cause of it all. It’s going to be a whirlwind of a summer filled with the mystery of the stallion’s disappearance and the wrestling with the problems that cropped up in their lives. Who knows? Maybe just maybe, there is a chance for romance to bloom amidst all of the uncertainties…

Author Bio:
Lindsey Cowherd lives in Salida, CO, where she was born and raised. She lives with her sweetie, Michael, who somehow tolerates her horse-craziness and love of all-things-Asian. Licensed as an acupuncturist since 2010, Lindsey still finds time for the small stuff: writing, watching almost anything Asian on Netflix, singing and playing guitar, but especially enjoying her two horses, Bricco and Tyrra, and two dogs, Ms. K and Huffington.

She started writing “novels” at a young teen; the Assassins’ Guild books and Crystals of Syre series being among the first she ever thought up that were beyond her normal obsession of horses. Turning to worlds immersed in martial arts, magic, and “places not of this world” allowed her an outlet from everyday living and circumstances out of her control. Now, they are a place to allow her imagination to run wild. In 2019, Lindsey delved into the genre of cowboy romances and found she liked it just as much. Currently, she has one book published in her Colorado Cowboy Romance Story series, with two more in the works.
