About Lake Of Sins: Escape by L. S. O’Dea:

EXCERPT:
Trinity stood frozen in place, the Tracker towering over her. It was at least ten-foot tall, standing on its back legs. Her breath came in short gasps, hands trembling at her sides. She should have picked up another stick. It wouldn’t have been much but it would have been something. The Guards hollered in the distance, closer now. A minute ago they were her enemy; now, they were her only chance to survive. One of the Tracker’s ears tipped back toward the sound, but its yellow eyes never left her.

Lake of Sins: Escape is the first in a four book young adult, dystopian series and will be free on February 27th.

In a world where class distinction means the difference between imprisonment and freedom and even life and death, not being on the Harvest List is the only way to guarantee survival for a young Producer.

Trinity, a sixteen year old, Producer, knows her name will be on the Harvest List. Only the finest examples of Producers get to stay in the encampment and breed and that is definitely not her. She isn’t even full-blooded Producer. She’s half House Servant and has spent her life hiding her differences, especially her fangs and claws.

Trinity knows she will be carted away by the ruling class and never seen or heard from again, but that doesn’t mean she has to meekly accept her fate. She still has one week to sneak out of the encampment and discover what happens to those who are taken.

Unfortunately, once she escapes into the forest her plans go awry. She is stalked, hunted and captured, encountering monsters, madmen and murderers. Who can she trust to help her save those taken and her friends back at home?

L. S. O’Dea grew up the youngest of seven. She always wanted to do what her older siblings were doing, especially reading stories.

Ill at a young age, she immersed herself in books. Her life changed when she read a short story written by her older brother and realized that normal (somewhat anyway, since her brother was a bit weird in her opinion) people created these amazing stories. From that day forward, she wanted to write.

However, as with all good stories, obstacles rose in her path (mostly self-created obstacles) and it took her many years to put finger to keyboard and write/type her first book.

She currently lives in the Central Florida woods with her rescue dogs and cats.

About Sacrificed: The Last Oracle (Book 1):

** Featured on USAToday.com and it’s currently a #1 Best Seller in YA. Price is 99 cents for a limited time!

Fifteen-year-old Clio should have never been the Oracle of Sheehan. That power is passed from mother to eldest daughter, and Clio is the youngest of four sisters. But when her entire family is murdered by Mannix, the king’s adviser, Clio is left all alone and heir to a power she never wanted and doesn’t understand.

Hunted by Mannix, Clio seeks refuge in a foreign city where oracles are absolutely forbidden. If she’s found out, she will be sacrificed atop its great pyramid.

Clio has no choice but to win the trust of Riece, an enemy warrior. Despite the growing feelings between them, Clio knows that if he finds out who she really is, he won’t hesitate to kill her.

Clio tries to hide her budding powers, longing to be a normal girl who can fall in love, but the visions she has of Mannix bringing a barbarian army into Sheehan torture her conscience. She alone has the strength and foresight to stop him, but only if she can embrace her destiny and sacrifice everything.

Seven Things about Me:

1. I’m just starting out so I’m not “the best-selling author” of anything, but…

2. I did once stand in line to meet Joss Whedon at a comic book signing when I was in middle school and got him to autograph a Buffy the Vampire Slayer poster for me.

3. I was the flute section leader in my high school’s marching band.

4. I graduated from Princeton University in June 2014 with a bunch of people who are a lot smarter than I am.

5. Besides YA, some of my favorite reading material comes from Jane Austen and the Preacher comic book series. I also like to spend my free time playing video games like The Last of Us.

6. I have two rescue German Shepherds. One is really sweet and the other thinks he’s a NAVY SEAL and that every cat, skateboarder and motorcyclist is a terrorist.

7. L + R = J.

About Romancing Miss Bronte by Juliet Gael:

In this critically acclaimed novel of historical fiction, Juliet Gael portrays the poignantly courageous life of Charlotte Brontë, the woman who transformed her heart’s loss into one of the most enduring literary works of all time – Jane Eyre.

Despite two offers of marriage, Charlotte entertains no hopes of marrying for love. Struggling with a powerful, destructive passion for a married professor in Brussels, she returns to England where she must come to terms with the isolation of her life in the desolate Yorkshire moors.

Duty-bound to a blind father and an alcoholic brother, Charlotte and her sisters Emily and Anne conceive a plan to earn badly needed income: they will publish. Returning to the imaginary worlds that had been their solace since childhood, the sisters craft novels quite unlike anything written before. Against a backdrop of domestic chaos, they go about their business in utmost secrecy, writing under pen names and deftly spiriting manuscripts back and forth to publishers under the noses of unsuspecting family and friends.

Charlotte’s Jane Eyre becomes an overwhelming literary success, catapulting her into the spotlight of London’s fashionable literary scene, and into the arms of her new publisher, George Smith, an irresistibly handsome young man whose interest in his fiercely intelligent and spirited new author seems to go beyond professional duty. Just as life begins to hold new promise, unspeakable tragedy descends on the obscure little parsonage, throwing London and George into the distance and leaving Charlotte to fear that the only romance she will ever find is at the tip of her pen. But another man waits in the Brontës’ Haworth parsonage—the quiet but determined curate Arthur Nicholls. After secretly pining for Charlotte since he first came to work for her father, Arthur suddenly reveals his heart to her.

Romancing Miss Brontë is a moving portrayal of an extraordinary woman whose life and work articulated our deepest human longing: to love and be loved in return.

Author Bio:
Juliet Gael is the pen name Janice Graham uses to publish her “bio-fiction.” Long fascinated by the poignantly courageous life of Charlotte Brontë, she first wrote Charlotte’s story as a screenplay in the 90’s when she was working as a screenwriter in Hollywood and Paris. Unable to find a producer for the project, she moved on to another kind of storytelling; her first novel, “Firebird,” was published by Penguin Putnam and became a New York Times bestseller, translated into 18 languages. After a series of contemporary women’s fiction, she wrote “The Tailor’s Daughter” – a novel situated in Victorian England with a mad-woman-in-the-attic ending, clearly inspired by “Jane Eyre.” When she finally took on Charlotte’s life story, she felt the novel was so different from her previous work that she should publish it under a different name. Juliet is currently laboring over a novel about Mary Shelley while Janice is having great fun with a new contemporary women’s fiction situated in Florence, Italy (where she now lives.) You can find out more about both of them on Janice Graham’s Amazon Author Page, or at janicegraham.com. Both Juliet and Janice are on Facebook, and they sometimes get confused as to who is supposed to be saying what, so don’t be surprised if one pops up where the other should be.

About The Training of Scarlet Worthy by Sara Plum:

When a young woman escapes the repressive farm life to attend an equally stifling all-girl college, her need for love and acceptance leads her to a summer job assisting a senior aristocratic mystery woman in southern England. Her infatuation with her beautiful mistress leads her to a wildly bizarre term of sexual slavery, but through a series of erotic and lusty events, she is rewarded for her abilities while discovering her true beauty, and a leadership power that she was unaware she possessed.
Blend in an Edwardian estate to this bizarre adventure, a healthy dose of colorful characters, jaw-dropping scenes of bondage, sexual tease and denial, and a mystery that adds a shocking surprise, and soon Scarlet finds that love can blossom in several unusual relationships, including one with a man of intrigue that opens to a position where all of her dreams are there for her taking.

About Echo of the High Kings by Kal Spriggs:

In Eoriel, the High Kings are legend: rulers who once stood against the darkness and ruled the world for two thousand turns of peace and prosperity. In the long turns since their fall during the Sundering, Eoriel’s civilization has faded. Dark men and darker beings have torn down and destroyed the old works. While some have held out against the grind of history, other places have been reduced to primitive tribes of savages, worshiping dark spirits and demons as their gods.
Yet a spark of hope remains. Some still believe in the old legends, some still fight to restore the old ways, and some will stand against the darkness, in an echo of the High Kings.

About Devil’s Lake:

After two years of brutal captivity, Portia Lamont has escaped and returned to her family’s Vermont horse farm—only to find her parents gone to New York to try an experimental treatment for her mother’s cancer, and her childhood friend Boone Hawke running the farm.

Like the rest of her family, Boone has never given up hope that Portia would return. But when she turns up battered, skinny as a twelve-year-old boy, afraid of everything and unable to talk about what happened, he does the only thing he can—try to help her heal. He summons the town doctor and Portia’s parents, and sets out to put this beautiful, broken woman back together again.

Through her family’s love and Boone’s gentle affection, Portia gradually comes back to herself, and starts to fall for her old friend in a whole new way. But one thing threatens her fragile hope for recovery: The man who took her promised that if she ever escaped, he’d kill her. Slowly. And someone is definitely watching her…waiting to make his next deadly move.

About The Education Animal by Andrew G. Swapp:

Sergeant Andrew Swapp, the author of this thought-provoking book, is a retired United States Army Infantry Sergeant who is just completing a decade and a half as an engineering and technology teacher in a small public school in rural America. By his own admission, his county has more cows than people.

With insight, courage and passion, he brings a crystal clear voice to modern education issues from the person who has walked the walk and talked the talk.

This is a book every parent, every teacher and every education administrator in America should read so that they could see not everyone thinks the same about education.

It is respectful, well-argued and thoughtfully considered, but it is a barn-burner to established thought on many education issues.

With the insight and simplicity of a Thoreau, the author cuts through mountains of data, lakes of statistics and miles of theory, and brings readers back to long-forgotten basics.

In this book you will discover some simple, basic truths about effective education:

– Students with involved parents almost always do better.

– Students in small classes do better.

– Students who want to go somewhere with their lives do better.

– Teachers who respect all types of students do better.

– Teachers who put themselves into their lessons do better.

– Teachers who can put things into an analogy do better.

Sergeant Swapp challenges the idea that improving an education system just means throwing money and a new program at it. He suggests it would be more pertinent if society questioned whether young people in school are getting the essential instruction needed to lead a happy and fulfilling life and become a productive citizen.

He questions whether a teacher can teach without values and says the most patriotic act in America today is good –parenting.

The author has suffered for his opinions because his voice does not join a common chorus. He has been accused of being a radical by various education administrators.

That has not silenced him.

In his own words, he makes his case:

“I have gone to a foreign country and thrown lead at people and had lead thrown back at me in the name of protecting our Constitution. Don’t think for one second that I will ever not voice my opinion on this level. I have fought for my country and for my Constitution and you are making me out to be a radical?”

This is a book for anyone who wants to look at education from a different perspective. It is for those who seek insight into what a man who has stood up for his country and shapes the lives of hundreds of students has learned and is willing to share.

It is a thoughtful voice, and a voice that is very much needed to fuel further debate on the future of this country’s educational systems.

Scarlett Brooke started writing erotic fiction to escape the pressures of her day job in finance, growing up in the Bible Belt, it was made clear to Scarlett what was “right” and what was “wrong,” and her thoughts always seemed to fall into that “wrong” category as a young girl. As an adult, once she opened herself up to letting out her true desires, fantasies, and pleasures, the words started pouring out, and so did the books. Now living in Miami and focusing more on her writing, Scarlett writes from her own point of view, writing the curious inexperienced girl she was, to the uninhibited woman she is today, she enjoys connecting with other like minded individuals who not only share her views, but find pleasures in the heat of the night.
