About PARADISE ROT:
Kyle Brightman–late of the advertising industry and soon-to-be-late of the 5th floor psych ward–has a job offer he can’t refuse. A new resort in the Caribbean is looking for an art director. Kyle soon finds himself on the Isle of St. Agrippina working alongside a beautiful copywriter with an icy handshake. Questions arise: Why does the resort management team sport spray-on tans in the Bahamas? How can the resort offer such cheap vacation packages? What does one do with vats of Astroglide? To get the answers, Kyle must first navigate a series of wildly unpredictable events with a cast of even more wildly unpredictable characters, including a seductress jungle assassin, her partially paralyzed talking Chihuahua, an Ivy League Rastafarian seaplane captain, Kyle’s ex-psych ward roommate, a former Haliburton mercenary, and a French tavern owner with a fondness for goats, all set to the greatest hits of the 70’s. Pablo Cruise never felt so right.

Larry Weiner is the author of PARADISE ROT (BOOK ONE) and ONCE AGAIN, WITH BLOOD (BOOK TWO). Larry earned a degree in film from CSULA and was an award-winning art director. And then he got the hell out of Dodge (advertising) and decided he was better at fiction for the greater good (entertainment) than fiction to make people buy shit they don’t need (advertising). He’d written two novels and a ton of scripts in his 20’s but doesn’t really count them as over 20 years passed since writing Paradise Rot. So really, let’s call Paradise Rot the first novel. He lives on an island in the Pacific Northwest with his wife, two kids and a gaggle of animals.

About Who I Be by Annie Brown:
When most people look into a mirror, what they see is unsatisfactory-an image tainted by societies dictates of how we are supposed to look. We were made in the image of God, so why do we waste time and energy remaking ourselves to please others? Scripture has declared that we were wonderfully and fearfully made, but we would rather conform to society’s image rather than be transformed into the image that God wants us to be. In the process, many of us lose ourselves and become someone we do not recognize. The decision is yours-to lead a happy and productive life, or spend useless hours trying to be what you perceive will be popular with others. This thought-provoking book will have you asking yourself, Who I Be

About Saving Forever – Part 1:
Charity Thompson wants to save the world, one hospital at a time. Instead of finishing med school to become a doctor, she chooses a different path and raises money for hospitals – new wings, equipment, whatever they need. Except there is one hospital she would be happy to never set foot in again–her fathers. So of course he hires her to create a gala for his sixty-fifth birthday. Charity can’t say no. Now she is working in the one place she doesn’t want to be. Except she’s attracted to Dr. Elijah Bennet, the handsome playboy chief.
Will she ever prove to her father that’s she’s more than a med school dropout? Or will her attraction to Elijah keep her from repairing the one thing she desperately wants to fix?

About Bad Faith by Mike O’Connor:
A huge lottery win is guaranteed to create a buzz in a small Irish village like Ceanngoorley. When the win in question is attributed to a talking statue of the Virgin Mary, greed and superstition collide in a tsunami of hilarious chaos. The corrupt Parish Priest – Father Fergus O’Hoora – plans to turn the village into a pilgrimage goldmine to rival Knock. Standing in his way is Bishop Patrick St. Patrick, who is prepared to stoop to O’Hoora levels of skulduggery in order to thwart his arch enemy. The foul-mouthed Parish Priest must also contend with statue abductors, a pair of eccentric Cardinals sent from the Vatican and a mysterious American tourist searching for his real father, who he believes to be a priest. Father O’Hoora is going to need more than one miracle to deliver him from this unholy mess!

About No Such Thing as Werewolves:
WARNING: May Contain Werewolves.
A pyramid predating all known cultures appears without warning. Its discovery throws into question everything we know about the origins of mankind.
Inside lies incredible technology, proof of a culture far more advanced than our own. Something dark lurks within, eager to resume a war as old as mankind. When it is unleashed it heralds the end of our species’ reign.
A plague of werewolves spreads across the world. A sunspot larger than anything in recorded history begins to grow. Yet both pale in comparison to the true threat, the evil the werewolves were created to fight.

By day I am an iPhone developer architecting the app used to scope Stephen Colbert’s ear. By night I am Batman. Ok maybe not. One can dream though, right? I’ve been writing since I was six years old and started inflicting my work on others at age 18. By age 24 people stopped running away when I approached them with a new story and shortly thereafter I published my first one in the Rifter. Wait you’re still reading? Ok, the facts I’m supposed to list in a bio. As of this writing I’m 38 years old and live just north of the Golden Gate Bridge in the beautiful town of Mill Valley. If you’re unsure how to find it just follow the smell of self-entitlement. Once you see the teens driving Teslas you’ll know you’re in the right place. I live in a tiny studio that I can cross in (literally) five steps and don’t own an oven. But you know what? It’s worth it. I love developing iPhone apps and if you want to work in San Francisco you accept that rent for a tiny place costs more than most people’s mortgage. If you and about 2 million other people start buying my books I promise to move out of Marin to a house in the redwoods up in Guerneville. No pressure. Wait that’s a lie. Pressure.

About Dead Willow:
The town of Willow Tree has a secret … that can almost be seen from space.
The massive Weeping Willow towers over the landscape, its leafy tendrils an enormous canopy that shields the town and its residents from the outside world. It makes Willow Tree into a world all its own … and its residents into a family like no other.
The town of Willow Tree has a secret …
The massive Weeping Willow towers over the landscape, its leafy tendrils an enormous canopy that shields the town and its residents from the outside world. It makes Willow Tree into a world all its own … and its residents into a family like no other.
Eunice Pembry ran the town like a loving matriarch … and like any mother, she sometimes had to discipline her children.
Colonel Davis loved only one thing more than the town of Willow Tree … and she made him do detestable things to prove that love.
Annabel Jeffers would make the ultimate sacrifice for the town … but there was always one more thing to give.
Jess Granger, stringer for the internet rag The Paranormal Investigator, would stumble onto their secret, and it would change her life … but not all change is good.
As high and as wide as the tree goes, the roots go even deeper, down into the soil of the 150 year old cemetery beneath. What it does down there is the real secret of Willow Tree.
It is a secret worth dying for … but will dying be enough?

Joe Sharp lived and raised hell in Richmond, Indiana until the age of eighteen. Then he married Penni, and they moved to Indianapolis. He is the father of Chris, and grandfather of Austan, Ethan and Corbin. He is also the great-grandfather to Katelyn.
He graduated from Richmond High School in 1973. That year he was published in the school literary journal “The Quill”. The writing bug was itching, but would remained unscratched for many years.

After many years serving as a church interpreter, he took a position as an interpreter for deaf and hard of hearing students at a local school district, where he remains today.
With the exception of a few plays (written for his church group) his writing bug went unheeded until the publishing of “Viral House”.
His other novels “The New Wizards”, “Viral House” and “Homologous” are also out now.

About The Sword of the Magi:
Silas Brace doesn’t expect any trouble ferrying an archeologist’s crates down India’s Malabar coast. As an ex-USAF pararescue jumper, he’s seen enough trouble. His daughter has, too, and he’s hoping that this trip will give her time to heal.
Attacked by Hijackers
When the first helicopter appears on the horizon, he knows this job is nothing like what he expected. Commandos storm his boat, simultaneous terrorist attacks are launched across the globe, and he’s separated from his daughter. While she runs for her life through the backwaters of Kerala, Silas is fighting a desperate battle against an unknown army.
A Desperate Search
The secret is out: in the crates on Silas’s boat lie scrolls leading to the Sword of the Magi, an artifact with the power to change the course of human history. Where does the Sword lie? What is the source of its power? One American city is already in flames. If Silas and Feather don’t find the Sword in twelve days, the rest will follow.
The Sword of the Magi is an action-adventure thriller featuring a deadly treasure hunt, an international conspiracy, and a girl with near-superhuman powers. Fans of Dan Brown, James Rollins, Clive Cussler, Matthew Reilly, and Jeremy Robinson will be delighted. This is a complete novel and stands alone, but it can also be read as part of Vincent Caine’s Against the Magi series, which continues with the second volume, A Heaven for Demons, in 2015.

Author Bio:
Ever read a technothriller where you know, you just know, that the science doesn’t work that way? This isn’t that book. You’re not going to find antimatter carried in a briefcase or a 15 TeV particle accelerator in a high school kid’s basement. The science here is real. Speculative, in some cases, but real.
This is a book with ideas. If the secret to space travel were within your grasp, how far would you go to make it a reality? If your daughter could only heal by risking her life, would you let her suffer or would you take the risk? Read my book if you want to hear speculation about the future of human interaction, the internet, society’s reaction to genetic engineering, and more.
This is a book that rewards close reading. But above all, it is a book about an adventure. Come along!
I’ve spent my career in science education, teaching at two wonderful prep schools on the East Coast. Earlier in my career, I worked with two different national labs and served as an educational consultant for NASA. I live with my wife and kids and a cat named Beagle (the kids named her… but it’s growing on me).

About FIRST DATE (Love & Regrets):
Lose yourself in a collection reminiscing on first love, regret, and passion. In little bite size treats…
In FIRST DATE, when Alice gets invited to a ball on Christmas Day she is bowled over. No-one had ever asked her out on a date before, let alone invited her to a ball. However, the bubble bursts too soon. It turns out she is filling in for an ex-girlfriend. Even so, she puts on a brave face and heads for the ball. She can have a good time even if it does not lead to love. A ball is still a ball after…
In CARELESS CUPID, a mission becomes harder than expected… you are not supposed to fall in love with the person you are trying to help.
In THE ENGAGEMENT PARTY, Rachel might get a lot more than she expected on her big day. A stranger from the past flushes out feelings she had put aside. A lost love is hard to forget…
In PRECIOUS, different generations appreciate the timeless value of a book.
FIVE STAR REVIEWS:
“… easily devoured in a single sitting.”
“It is young love so fresh & new with all the trappings of heartache & embarrassment that can go with it.”
“This is Chick-Lit with a twist, and a squeeze of class. The style is comfortable, fluid and at ease with itself.”
“…delightful shorts, each approaching love from a different angle. The first reminds us all of how tumultuous young love or “infatuation” can be, never knowing how your heart truly feels until it’s forced to decide. The second was my favorite because it threw a bit of otherworldly interest into the mix. I loved the idea of a cupid sent from above to help us out. And the final short reminds us that what once was can never be again. This book was a great way to spend some down time without having to get embroiled in complicated subplots and character analysis. Easy beach or before bed read!”

She is currently working on a historical fiction novel based on the life of her great, great, grandparents… and is finding the research fascinating!

Seven Weeks to Forever by Jennifer Farwell
About Seven Weeks to Forever by Jennifer Farwell:
Cassidy Jordan knows she’ll die a few weeks after her eighteenth birthday, and she can’t wait. This is her second time here, and she knows what’s waiting for her in The Life-After—the place most mistakenly call “the afterlife.” Getting back there is supposed to be easy: she just has to find nineteen-year-old Riley Davis and help him get his life on track. By the time she finds him, though, she has only seven weeks to help him. Riley will die too young if she fails, and she’ll never see The Life-After or this life again.
But no one told her helping Riley would mean dating him; she hasn’t dated anyone since the love of her first life caused her death the last time she turned eighteen. When Cassidy realizes she’s falling for Riley, she’s faced with a choice: give him the life he’s meant for and leave when it’s time, or give up eternity for the true love she’s never had, knowing Riley will die the same way she did in her first life and that her entire existence could end at any time.
