About MAGPIE:
Maggie is independent, confident and content—almost. Her moniker, “Magpie,” aptly describes her tendency to collect things; chiefly, haunting memories of her late husband and son, keeping friends, family and lovers at bay. Tired of wearing the label of “widow” and “childless mother,” and ravenous for physical connection, Maggie submits her Match.com profile…and waits. But dating in 2013 is very different and Maggie must learn to navigate online dating sites and modern “same-day” propositions. Soon, she meets Daniel online, but he lives in Atlanta and she, in Denver. Over time, their virtual romance gets in the way of Maggie’s other trysts—and keeping Daniel a secret from her family and friends isn’t easy. Seductive “sexting” keeps the flame burning red-hot; steamy videos and erotic, late night calls add even more fuel to an already scorching fire. Amidst family crisis, a fulfilling career and inquisitive friends, the virtual lovers must determine if there is a chance for real love, not just technologically driven romps. Introspective, romantic and refreshingly “real life,” Magpie is deeply affecting; funny, inspiring and honest, this book captures what life is really like for woman in transition.

The Robusta Incident by Jennifer Fales
About The Robusta Incident by Jennifer Fales
Meet Howard Danishefsky. He’s a smart-mouthed chemist working for his ex-lover turned tight-skirted, ball-busting boss, Melinda Carpenter, in the shiny downtown office of an international coffee conglomerate known as the Robusta Corporation. He has a legendary astrophysicist father in the Consortium of Evil that he’s never met, a dead Russian mother who still keeps in touch, and a brilliant young daughter he loves but rarely sees. More importantly, he also has an evil genius complex that is about to go through the roof. When Howard finds himself pushed past his tolerance limit once again by Carpenter’s cutthroat machinations and the Robusta Corporation’s mindless culture, he takes it as his cue to “evil up” seeking revenge so nefarious it’s guaranteed to gain the attention of the Consortium. What better way to do it than by adding a little “something extra” to the new coffee he’s been given carte blanche to develop and using the entire office as his own personal test group? He’s convinced he has it all under control, until his secret ingredient gains him the interest of a voodoo queen, an ancient professor, and a guy so far past his expiration date deodorant doesn’t even stand a chance. Monday through Friday getting you down? Ever wonder how far you’d go for revenge on the worst boss, or the most miserable job you’ve ever had? Ever wonder what would happen if you did? Then you, my friend, need to read The Robusta Incident — and be careful what you wish for.

Alix Nichols is an avid reader of chick lit, romance and fantasy, caffeine addict and a badge-wearing Mr. Darcy fan. She released her first romance at the age of six. It had six pages stitched together and bound in purple velvet paper. The book was titled “Eliza and Robert” and featured highly creative spelling. Some words were written in mirror image. Unintentionally. Decades later, she still loves the name Robert and the genre romance. Her spelling has improved (somewhat) and her books have made bestseller lists, climbing as high as #1. She lives and works in Paris, France. ***Get a Bistro La Bohème novella for FREE when you sign up for her new release list at: http://www.alixnichols.com/sign-me-up***

About I, Target (Part 1):
Born in Texas. Died all over.
When a young taxi driver is killed, his consciousness jumps into his killer’s body. He then learns he can do that as often as he wants. Believing he can’t truly be killed by anyone, he sets out to confront evil. But with each new body, he drifts further away from his identity until he questions his own sanity and purpose in life.
From the main character:
My name is Marko Santana and I have been killed many times.
You see, each time I am killed, my mind jumps into the killer’s body and I take over. It’s weird but simple: if someone kills me, I get their body.
So does that make me the ultimate crime-fighter? Maybe a cool body-snatcher kind of guy? Or nothing but a freakin’ brain parasite? Personally, I prefer to think of myself as the ultimate survivor—with a serious personality disorder.
I am not your father’s punch and run superhero. I am a problem in motion—and for better or worse, I am on the road to being seriously mental.
Join me on my quest for purpose and sanity as I journey through life in other people’s bodies. For these are the chronicles of one who feeds on killers—my killers. These are the chronicles of Marko Santana.

About Reanimated Readz:
Just when you thought it was safe to read again…the zombies are back! And in greater number too!
In Reanimated Readz, you’ll find five young adult zombie tales from Rusty Fischer’s popular “Reanimated Readz” series of living dead short stories. From brotherly love to zombie politics, from zombie private detectives to loving the undead, the five tales are sure to give you your fill of zombie reading – and then some.
Project Z
Zombie, Interrupted
Private Eyez
The Zombie Vote
My Brother, My Zombie
***********
~Project Z~
The only thing worse than being a zombie is being just human enough to know you’re turning into a zombie. Welcome to Project Z, where you’re never sure what’s worse: the living or the dead.
~Zombie, Interrupted~
As a zombie, Reggie is used to people asking questions. But when his ex-girlfriend Julia decides to play reporter and record his “confession,” Reggie decides to turn her exposé into a true crime story—with Julia at his side!
~Private Eyez~
Randall Jenkins always wanted to be a private detective. Too bad he only became really good at it after he died.
When Randall Jenkins is kicked out of high school for being a zombie, he needs a way to make a living. Enter Private EyeZ: The Zombie Detective Agency. As one of his first cases, Randall is surprised when his old pal and teammate Brock Thornton shows up, offering him three crisp hundred-dollar bills to follow Brock’s girlfriend, Brandy Hutchins.
So why does Randall feel like he’s the one being followed?
~The Zombie Vote~
Losing an election is bad enough. But losing it to a zombie?
Tanner B. Simpson is running for junior class president. Her only opposition? Calvin Hobbs, her former boyfriend and the first zombie student ever to run for class president.
During a live debate in front of the student body, Tanner reveals her inner prejudice for “the zombie party” while Calvin reveals his inner humanity.
Was Tanner wrong about Calvin? And could he ever take her back?
~My Brother, My Zombie~
Emma has only one guard shack left before she releases her brother into the zombies-only zone, or the Z-Zone, as the locals call it.
Along the way she keeps Sam docile with a plastic container full of raw meat and the only six commands he knows to obey. He doesn’t understand what’s about to happen to him, but she does.
If only letting him go was as easy as saying goodbye.

Collateral Circulation: a Medical Mystery by Barbara Ebel, M.D.
About Collateral Circulation: a Medical Mystery by Barbara Ebel, M.D.:
A lavishly enriched blood supply piques Dr. Danny Tilson’s interest as he performs a routine surgery on Varg Dagmar’s brain. He soon discovers that it’s not just his patient’s cranial anatomy that’s remarkable, but his superlative mental capabilities as well.
As more and more patients surface with similar mystifying profiles, Danny searches for answers. If he can figure out the cause of this surge in advanced mental faculties, the ramifications to humankind could be staggering.
Danny wonders, however. Is this mysterious brain power too good to be true?
*****
Collateral Circulation: a Medical Mystery is Book Three in The Doctor Danny Tilson Novels.
Book One is Operation Neurosurgeon.
Book Two is Silent Fear: a Medical Mystery.
Although the Doctor Danny Tilson Novels are a series, each book can also stand alone. Collateral Circulation is a full-length novel at 82,000 words.
Review:
“This third addition to the Danny Tilson medical mystery series won’t disappoint either old fans or newcomers who love medical intrigue ala Robin Cook and the best medical writers in the genre.
Contemporary and wide-ranging in scope, Collateral Circulation provides yet another powerful Danny Tilson medical mystery/thriller; … it’s safe to say newcomers will want to go back to the other books in the series for further character insights and adventure.”

Author Bio:
A physician, speaker, and former chemist, Barbara Ebel’s writing draws heavily from her experience as an anesthesiologist, her dealings with family court, and her interactions with people and places from around the world.
Since Ebel writes credible medicine into the background of her novels and her O.R. scenes shine, it’s no wonder the first in her Dr. Danny Tilson Novels, Operation Neurosurgeon, was the top finalist for best-selling medical mystery books in 2012. (Best Selling Books’ blog announced on PR Buzz Press Release Wire, Chicago, IL). The ranking derives its roster of bestsellers from sources such as Amazon and Goodreads and uses readers’ ratings, reviews and title sales for a blended score that creates each book’s final rank. The second Dr. Danny Tilson Novel has also been given a stipend and is in production to become an audio book.
In addition to her adult writing, Ebel has illustrated and penned a children’s book series called Chester the Chesapeake. The books developed during her philanthropic visits with her therapy dog, Chester. The dog books continue to inspire adults and children alike.
Along with her husband and four pets, “Doctor Barbara” lives in a wildlife corridor in middle Tennessee.

Nine men, ex-military, are on a mission to destroy a genetics laboratory and capture a genetically engineered specimen. They are supported by four rogue CIA agents, who have commandeered a test drone and a missile at a Marine base. The team attacks the genetics laboratory complex before dawn, during a raging blizzard. Within hours, seven of the men are dead, one is severely wounded and one barely escapes. The drone with its missile has been destroyed. The next morning the four rogue agents are found dead from carbon monoxide poisoning.

After the attack, Mark flees the laboratory complex, seeking safety and somewhere he can call home. The FBI is on his case and a mysterious organization offers him its assistance. However, he is at risk. There are unknown killers chasing him and he needs to protect himself and his friends. He needs to survive.

Author Bio:
As a young boy I cut my teeth on Marvel Comics, Edgar Rice Burrough’s serial novels,(John Carter & Tarzan)and classic movies like “The Day The Earth Stood Still.” I also spent many days reading classic science fiction works by authors such as Asimov, Heinlein, Clark, Silverberg and Bradbury to name a few.
In school my favorite subjects were English and Theater Arts. It is the combination of all of this that led me into writing, especially screenplays. I love the visual medium of movies and television though too many movies today put special effects ahead of the story. I think the greatest compliment I’ve received about my writing is that people can see the visual images I am creating as I write.
Presently, I have three books on Amazon. THE 5 MOONS OF TIIANA, The Garden–The Unauthorized Biography of Adam and Eve and Nanovision. If you have the time and are looking for a great sci-fi yarn I hope you’ll pick one of them up and take a read.
