The Pitcher  

ThePitcher_william-Hazelgrove.jpg2About The Pitcher:

A boy with a golden arm, but no money for lessons. A mother who wants to give her son his dream before she dies. A broken down World Series pitcher who cannot go on after the death of his wife. These are the elements of The Pitcher. A story of a man at the end of his dream and a boy whose dream is to make his high school baseball team. In the tradition of The Natural and The Field of Dreams, this is a mythic story about how a man and a boy meet in the crossroads of their life and find a way to go on. You will laugh and you will cry as The Pitcher and Ricky prepare for the ultimate try out of life.

ARCANE_WEB_USE_MED_RESAbout Arcane (The Arinthian Line, book 1):

Warlocks before their time …

Fourteen-year-old Augum and friends Bridget and Leera dream of becoming warlocks. But with a kingdom in total chaos, it will take courage, sacrifice, and an iron will to make that dream come true.

The Lord of the Legion, a vicious tyrant, has overthrown the king in a relentless and murderous quest for seven mythic artifacts–and Augum’s mentor, the legendary Anna Atticus Stone, possesses one. While Augum struggles with demons from a painful childhood, a betrayal puts him, his friends, and his mentor through a harrowing ordeal that threatens to destroy them all … and change the course of history.

Arcane, the debut novel in the fantasy coming-of-age series The Arinthian Line, follows three friends as they navigate an ancient abandoned castle, endure grueling training, challenge old mysteries, and learn that a bond forged in tragedy might just be the only thing to save them from a ruthless enemy.

Work. Rest. Repeat. – A Dystopian Detective Novel by Frank Tayell  

WorkRestRepeatwebsiteAbout Work. Rest. Repeat. – A Dystopian Detective Novel by Frank Tayell:

Work. Rest. Repeat. That is all the last remnant of humanity knows. During the wars and chaos of The Great Disaster, people took shelter within the towered cities hoping that, one day, the Earth would become habitable once more. Sixty years later, only three cities remain and the descendants of the survivors have been reduced to a few thousand. They have only one goal; to construct colony ships so that they can leave Earth and attempt to establish a settlement on Mars.

The first of those ships is nearing completion. All efforts are focused on the launch. If the species is to survive, then nothing can interfere with this last great effort. But the City of Britain is not a dictatorship. An election is to be held to choose a new Chancellor who will lead the workers in the new colony.

With only twenty-four hours until voting is due to begin, two bodies are found. There is no question that they have been murdered. The only motive can be sabotage. It is down to Constable Ely to solve this crime. The killer must be caught. The election must go ahead. The ships must be launched. Above all, production must come first.

The book of Barkley book cover

About The Book of Barkley – Love and Life Through the Eyes of a Labrador Retriever by LB Johnson

It is a story, not one of science, and one that may not be remembered past this one lifetime. It is the story of someone that did not know his destiny, but followed it with unfaltering step, bound to his human companion, not by vows or paper, but in the name of the trust that was the best part of his nature. It is a story of the one that taught her to love, even as he occasionally barfed on the carpet. It is the tale of a black Lab named Barkley. It begins in the 1960’s as the author is growing up—dogs becoming part of the family. But it is only after many years of living alone following heartbreak; that Barkley finds his way to Ms. Johnson, and she begins to view the world as he does—and learns to love again.

It is a story of family, of friends, dog hair and a small pink ball with feet known as Mr. Squeaky that became her mortal enemy at dawn. It is the story of rambunctious trespasses and the loving trust that bound a lonely road warrior and a dog together in unspoken understanding.

#1 in the Amazon KIndle Store Pets/Essays and Parenting/Relationship genres—The Book of Barkley is a memoir and a tribute that will resonate with everyone who has ever loved and lost a a dog. Honest, transcendent, and beautifully written The Book of Barkley is a love story that will enrich every animal lover’s library.

100% of the proceeds from Paperback and Paid Kindle sales goes to Animal Rescue Non-Profits.

Desire in the Everglades by Stacy Hoff  

DesireintheEverglades200About Desire in the Everglades by Stacy Hoff:

Stephanie Lang’s successful career as a television producer can’t give her everything she wants out of life. Her personal goals of writing a romance novel and finding true love languish. Emotionally scarred by her fiancé’s affair with her cousin, she doesn’t have the confidence to go after either goal again. At least she has professional confidence to fall back on—she is ready to produce the company’s next hit show. But when her boss reveals what the show is about, a survival documentary starring a sexy, modern version of Crocodile Dundee, Stephanie’s life is turned upside down. Colin Brandt, billed as “The Evergladiator,” will tackle Florida’s Everglades with nothing more than his bare hands and a knife. Stephanie, instantly attracted to handsome, rugged, enigmatic Colin, worries he will not survive his twelve-day odyssey. If he does, he’ll win a million dollars. If he fails, his beloved family’s farm will go into foreclosure. Can Colin conquer the Everglades? And can he conquer her heart?

The Look of Love by Bella Andre  

TheLookOfLove_Cover_NYTUSAT_July31_highres_217x218About The Look of Love by Bella Andre:

*** FREE for a limited time! ***
“Not since Nora Roberts has anyone been able to write a big family romance series with every book as good as the last. Bella Andre never disappoints.” ~ Revolving Bookcase Reviews

BOOK DESCRIPTION: Fall in love with the Sullivans in Bella Andre’s New York Times and USA Today bestselling contemporary romance series with THE LOOK OF LOVE, an emotional, fun and sexy love story.

Chloe Peterson is having a bad night. A really bad night. The large bruise on her cheek can attest to that. And when her car skids off the side of a wet country road straight into a ditch, she’s convinced even the gorgeous guy who rescues her in the middle of the rain storm must be too good to be true. Or is he?

As a successful photographer who frequently travels around the world, Chase Sullivan has his pick of beautiful women, and whenever he’s home in San Francisco, one of his seven siblings is usually up for causing a little fun trouble. Chase thinks his life is great just as it is–until the night he finds Chloe and her totaled car on the side of the road in Napa Valley. Not only has he never met anyone so lovely, both inside and out, but he quickly realizes she has much bigger problems than her damaged car. Soon, he is willing to move mountains to love–and protect–her, but will she let him?

Chloe vows never to make the mistake of trusting a man again. Only, with every loving look Chase gives her–and every sinfully sweet caress–as the attraction between them sparks and sizzles, she can’t help but wonder if she’s met the only exception. And although Chase didn’t realize his life was going to change forever in an instant, amazingly, he isn’t the least bit interested in fighting that change. Instead, he’s gearing up for a different fight altogether…for Chloe’s heart.

THE LOOK OF LOVE is part of Bella Andre’s New York Times and USA Today #1 bestselling Sullivan series. While it can easily be read as a stand-alone story, you’ll likely enjoy reading the other Sullivan books, too.

For I Could Lift My Finger and Black Out the Sun – Part 1: DAWN  

SONY DSCAbout For I Could Lift My Finger and Black Out the Sun – Part 1: DAWN:

My name is John Black. I used to be your typical nerd, a total weakling, letting bullies like Bobby Graden push me around. Then one day, Bobby and I got hit by a car. Somehow, the accident changed us, as if something inside us responded. It made us strong. More than strong, actually.

It gave us power.

That power brought us together, our shared secret creating a friendship despite our differences. Bobby and I could do things no one else could, and it was exhilarating, fun.

Until the day we found out we weren’t alone.

And that, for others, power can be deadly serious.

BeMyLove_Cover_BAadd_v3_Jan92015_217x318-2About Be My Love by Lucy Kevin:

“I loved this book. It reminded me of Nora Roberts’ wedding series.” — review for The Wedding Gift by Lucy Kevin

Lucy Kevin is the “sweet” pen-name of New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Bella Andre (who writes the #1 bestselling series about The Sullivans). Lucy Kevin books are fun, flirty and romantic–without the steamy scenes.

BOOK DESCRIPTION: Come for a visit to Walker Island where you’ll find stunning Pacific Northwest ocean views, men too intriguing to resist…and five close-knit sisters who are each about to find their one true love.

After four years on the Seattle mainland, when Hanna Walker returns to Walker Island to make a documentary about the infamous Peterson-Walker feud from the early 1950s, she’s shocked to realize that passions still run high. Especially when it comes to Joel Peterson, the one man who is totally off-limits…but that she’s never been able to stop dreaming about.

The last thing Joel wants is for Hanna to dredge up the past, but when he realizes she’s determined to follow through with her documentary no matter what, he knows he has no choice but to join her. But despite vowing to hold back his growing feelings for her, as Joel works with Hanna to unravel the mystery of what really happened between their two families, he soon begins to see that love is an unstoppable force…and that sometimes two people are meant to be.

Be My Love is the first fun, sweet, and emotional contemporary romance in the Walker Island series from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Lucy Kevin.

Zombies From The Deep  

zombies-from-the-deepAbout Zombies From The Deep:

Debut author Nick Grey blends the zombie humor of Shaun of the Dead with the satiric irreverence of Fight Club in his tantalizing and terrifying tale, ZOMBIES FROM THE DEEP.

They packed for the beach…

Mike and Sara Jones never missed their annual beach getaway. Every year, they looked forward to driving down to the Gulf and enjoying the white sandy beaches with those amazing sunsets. This year was no different than the rest. Swimsuits, check. Sunblock, check. Then, the zombies came.

They came from the ocean.

Out of the depths of the ocean, the walking dead arrived. There was blood in the water, but this ain’t no shark attack. When zombies paint the beach red, Mike and Sara’s annual getaway is interrupted. They panic. What would you do?

Survive at any cost.

Covered in blood and short on temper, Mike suggests they cut their vacation short. Sara’s not entirely sure Mike knows what he’s doing. But does anyone? Like most couples in a stressful situation, Mike and Sara soon resort to petty bickering.

Will they crack?

As if on cue, Jim and Teresa Banyon appear. They are smart, charismatic, and best of all rich. It’s easy to follow their lead. But Mike and Sara soon find that following Jim and Teresa risks their safety, their marriage, and even their sanity.

Readers be warned: Zombies From The Deep is a sexually explicit and graphically violent pulp fiction novel detailing the end of the world and survival during a zombie apocalypse.
