About A Heat Of The Moment Thing by Maggie Le Page:

Becky Jordan has had it with relationships. From now on her time and dedication won’t be lavished on her latest Mr. Wrong—or, worse, Mr. Hell-No!—just the dream travel job which has unexpectedly leapt into her lap. Finally, life is looking great.

Unfortunately, not as great as her sizzling-hot, take-charge new boss. Matt Frobisher is everything she doesn’t want him to be, but if anyone thinks she’ll risk her career on a workplace fling they can think again. No amount of Superman behaviour from him will make her roll over and play Lois.

At least, that’s what her head says. Her heart, however, doesn’t do logical. In desperation she finds herself a Mr. Distraction, one with no strings and plenty of appeal. But Mr. Distraction also comes with unforeseen complications. Kryptonite complications, like Becky’s sister. And when she shows up there’s only one sure thing: not even Superman can prevent the Disaster Fest that’s about to blow Becky’s life apart.

(Contains one guy determined to win the girl, one girl determined not to be won, and plenty of heat in the middle.)

Author Bio:
Maggie lives in Christchurch, New Zealand with her partner and two children. Her career has (so far) morphed from finance to education to small business and, truthfully, writing fiction is about the last thing her training prepared her for. But Maggie’s never been one to let a little thing like you’re-not-trained-for-this stop her, and when motherhood came along she took the opportunity to spend more time writing.

Kids and part-time admin work are still her ‘day jobs’, but after dark it’s all about the keyboard. She is ably assisted by her ultra-fluffy, ultra-talkative cat who is quick to ‘assume the position’ (on Maggie’s lap, tail draped over keys).

Maggie’s favourite hangout is her local café where she people-watches, catching snippets of conversation and extrapolating wildly to invent new characters. She loves travel, reading, and lazy hazy beach days, preferably presented to her as a tropical island holiday combo. (Maggie lives in hope.)

About The Madmen’s City by Cady Vance:

Teen vigilante Gwen Kane uses her fists and a strict moral code to flatten any lowlife who dares prey on the innocents of Towton City. Her rival, Silas Snow, opts for a pistol, a silencer and a shot in the dark. To Silas, death is the only suitable punishment for the iniquitous criminals who prowl the seedy streets. And to Gwen, Silas is just another murderer. Working together would only end in World War III.

When someone frames Gwen’s father for a mob death that Silas actually caused, their paths seem destined for a head-on collision. Silas doesn’t want an innocent man to take the fall, but if he fesses up to the crime, he’ll only land behind bars himself. But Gwen will stop at nothing to discover the truth. The clock ticks down to her father’s date with death row.

It’s time to stop playing nice.

Hi, I’m Cady Vance. I write YA and NA books. Some of them are about girls with crazy-long insomnia. Some of them are about con artists and shamans. And some of them are about evil magical gangs in NYC.

I’m also a PhD student. That combined with being an author means I’m always at my desk. Except when I’m running, which I love to do.

I also love binge-watching cheesy sci-fi shows, re-reading Harry Potter, and pretending I’m a superhero. One day, I want to see the universe.

About Jamie’s Gamble by Gregg Bell:

Not everyone who gambles wins.

Jamie Thompson’s never been good at taking chances. But young, beautiful and from a wealthy family she’s had little reason to. She has it all. Everything but what she values most—her freedom. So she sucks it up and flees her CEO father’s domination to a Texas border town where a friend has set up an accounting job for her. The job falls through but Jamie manages to find work at a bar and grill. But that’s not all she finds. There’s been a string of brutal rapes and murders that have gone uninvestigated by the local sheriff.

Ricky Benson is living the party life in Langston, Texas. His dream of pitching in the big leagues shattered by an injury, he’s killing his disappointment with booze and blondes. Life seems to have passed him by. One more drink and one more one-night stand is about all he can hope for. Then he meets Jamie Thompson.

Jamie and Ricky fall hard for each other—but fate falls even harder. A fellow waitress is murdered and Jamie’s afraid she may be next. Then the sheriff’s son is killed, Ricky is accused of the crime and evidence mounts that he’s guilty.

Jamie can make one call and her father will send the company jet for her—or she can gamble one more time and risk it all for the man she loves.

Jamie’s Gamble is discounted to $0.99 3/2/15-3/6/15. Pick up a copy today.

But appearances can be deceiving. Inside Wyatt is a man torn by love and betrayal. His only need, his one weakness—Chance—a woman from his past he can never have, can never trust. Wyatt will be forced to see her and face the old feelings that have haunted him for years, because something inside him, an entity of violence and lust, is fighting for control of his mind. And his only chance of survival depends on a love that will be pushed to the very edge.

About Dreambones by John R. Patin:

Right now, Eric has more pressing problems, such as running out of air in a deteriorating spaceship and being forced to land on a hostile world he isn’t prepared to deal with. Deepscouts never land, they reconnoiter, but Rice has no choice, at least there is air down there. There is also civilization of sorts, but Rice is about to find out it doesn’t deal with strangers very well.

Author Bio:
There was a time when human beings left the world of their birth to journey to another; the Moon. For a few (all too brief) years mankind stood on the verge of Glory, the whole Universe before us, awaiting discovery. It was a grand adventure our entire species could have joined in. Instead, we gave a collective shrug and turned our backs on that glittering future, reducing our space programs to a shadow of their former selves.

As a kid I expected to be a part of that grand adventure, and devoured every bit of Science Fiction I could lay my chocolate chip-stained hands on to prepare myself. They were stories by the Masters, filling me with that fantastic sense-of-wonder that is all too often missing these days. Those stories promised an unlimited universe of possibilities. I was ready to go! Unfortunately, the rest of the world wasn’t. Yet, a few of us still remember the Dream borne of those heady days.

We are called Science Fiction fans.

So, I invite the rest of you lost and disappointed souls, you fellow stranded travelers, to join me on my vicarious adventures Out There. It is where we belong, and if we can’t embark on the journey in body, then at least we can venture forth in spirit. Follow me, and I will do my humble best to take you to my own corner of that infinitely wonder-filled universe.

Sic Itur Ad Astra!

About The HERETIC by LUCAS BALE:

Earth is gone.

Centuries have passed since life ended on the blue planet. Humanity’s survivors are now dispersed among distant colonies, thousands of light years from the barren, frozen rock that was once their home.

At a time when power means everything, the ultimate power, the imperium, rests with the Consulate Magistratus. In return for its protection, citizens must concede their rights absolutely. The Magistratus controls interstellar travel, access to technology, even procreation. Every citizen is implanted with a device to monitor their location, health and emotions. Freedom, religion and self-determination are anachronisms. Humanity’s true history survives only in whispers of a secret archive.

Yet there are those who preach a new religion and who want to be free.

In the cold of a winter’s night, a small village is the subject of a brutal attack. A fourteen-year-old boy, Jordi, sees armed men approaching and manages to wake his family. He and a handful of survivors flee into the frozen, snow-covered forest to wait for the preacher who told them their way of life was based on lies.

Shepherd, a freighter-tramp and smuggler, is commissioned to deliver illicit medical supplies to a hostile border planet near the Wall. He is dragged into a fight he does not believe in and a desperate struggle to protect his life, his ship and the lives of the persecuted few who seek only freedom.

A revolution is coming…

The Heretic is the acclaimed first book in an epic, hard science fiction space opera about the future of humanity and the discovery of the truth of its past. For three days, March 5th to March 7th, this thriller science-fiction series opener is free!

Author Bio:
Lucas Bale writes the sort of intense, gripping science-fiction thrillers which make you miss your train. Stories which dig into what makes us human and scrape at the darkness which hides inside every one of us.

His debut novel, THE HERETIC, is the gateway to the BEYOND THE WALL series, an epic hard science-fiction space opera about the future of humanity and the discovery of the truth of its past.

He wasn’t always a writer. He was a criminal lawyer for fifteen years before he discovered crime doesn’t pay and turned to something which actually pays even less. No one ever said he was smart, but at least he’s happy. He blushes when people mention him in the same sentence as Iain M. Banks or George R. R. Martin, bless him.

About What Survives of Us by Kathy Miner:

Naomi sees her first corpse in a Colorado Springs grocery store, but it won’t be her last. With devastating speed, a plague sweeps first the city, then the state, then the world, leaving less than 1% of the population to go on. Naomi, a gentle and sheltered housewife, finds herself fighting for survival in a world populated by desperate people, where might-makes-right, and mercy and compassion are in short supply. Fellow survivors Jack, a youth minister from Woodland Park; Grace, a 17-year-old high school student from Limon; and Naomi’s daughter Piper, a student at the University of Northern Colorado, all find themselves searching for a safe path forward…because it’s not just the world that has changed.

The plague that decimates the human race also pushes mankind into evolutionary change. Those who survive are different, profoundly so, in ways they are just beginning to comprehend. As Naomi struggles to protect and reunite what’s left of her family, she must also learn to understand and accept the changes in herself. In this strange new world, her survival, and the survival of those she loves, depends on it.

About Kadashan Speaks, Legal Plunder:

Frederic Bastiat, an economist and statesman of mid 1800 century France wrote a book called The Law warned people of his beloved country about the dangers of socialism; France, indeed, was going in this direction during this period. He talks considerably about legal plunder and why it is dangerous to the well-being of the people in his country. He describes legal plunder as a way for the government to make illegal issues into laws, and how the government takes property from one group of people and distributes it to others who didn’t work for it.
This book defines what legal plunder is and how our government is confiscating land from states, how it implemented an income tax bill and the craziness that went on to adopt it; the craziness of passing laws through executive orders and court interpretations; also passing laws without participation of both parties. Healthcare, social security and government shutdown are examples of how these came into being through legal plunder. This book should be read by every true blooded American so they can understand what legal plunder is and how to combat this dangerous movement of government going astray.
Bastiat’s The Law was written over a hundred and fifty years ago and should be seriously read today because America is, like France of old, pointing its compass toward socialism. Kadashan Speaks books should be seriously read today because it feeds off The Law and warns America about the dangers of legal plunder a start to embracing socialism. The printed word is eternal and perhaps a hundred years from now the world will have to be reminded about how our freedom is achieved and what needs to be avoided to keep it.

Author Bio:
Kadashan was given his birth name by his grandmother who named him after her father, John Kadashan, a clan leader from Wrangell, located on the southern end of the southeast panhandle. The elder Kadashan, as a young man, was one of the guides to world traveler and naturalist, John Muir. In his elder years he was known as a “peace-maker” among his native peoples. Kadashan means “red tide coming.”
Kadashan began writing when he was in college. He was encouraged to by his creative writing instructor, who recognized his passion for story-telling. Twenty years later his retired teacher and college mentor visited him, read the stories he had stored in a drawer, and persuaded him to find a publisher. In time his rejection slips were thicker than his manuscripts. Eventually, he was discovered by the publisher of the Alaska Native Magazine who began to feature his short stories and his water color paintings that illustrated his stories. Yaakwdaat Aya is now published as a short story collection.
Shortly after, he began writing essays for the Tundra Times, a statewide Alaska Native newspaper. His commentaries dealt with Indian politics and tribal governments. Eventually he was under contract with the Juneau Empire and wrote a monthly column for the Capital city’s statewide newspaper. He tweaked these essays and self-published The Laws of Nature and Nature’s God in eBook.
His latest, Kadashan Speaks–Legal Plunder clearly demonstrates the adverse signs of the times in America and how the federal system is using legal plunder to fashion illegal issues legal.
When Raven Cries is Kadashan’s first novel. It is out of print however Kadashan is working to have it reprinted in eBook. He is presently occupied with writing another novel and a non-fiction book about the history and culture of his Tlingit clan.
Kadashan received his education from Sheldon Jackson College in Sitka and Brigham Young University in Provo Utah. He is a retired commercial fisherman, a salt water charter boat captain, and tribal government president. He lives in Yakutat with his wife near his children and grandchildren.

My daughter tells me I have the best job in the world and at times I tend to agree with her, but when I have these characters in my head that refuse to leave me until I get them on paper then I don’t. The truth is I do love my job. I get to create a world of my own and most of the time I get to do what I want in my world except of course when my characters decide they know best.

Was this an easy journey to get to this point. No. It took a lot of hard work and believing in yourself when most times you want to give up. But I am really lucky to have had people who believed in me. I was really lucky to have believed in myself. So my advice to you is- never ever give up on your dreams. Life would be too boring if we didn’t dream.
