About The Pitcher:

Ricky Hernandez, 13, can hurl a 75-miles-per-hour fastball. If only he could get it near the plate. Scraping by with a single mother suffering from lupus, Ricky is determined to show up the rich bullies, the kids who mock his Mexican heritage—all of them. But it seems like a lost cause until he meets his surly hermit neighbor, who just happens to be one-time World Series MVP Jack Langford. Soon a relationship begins between the Hernandezes and Langford, who begrudgingly agrees to give Ricky a few pointers. Mostly, though, he guzzles beer while forcing the kid to do puzzling things like throw stones at trees for weeks on end. It’s a set-up you’ve seen before—bitter, fallen hero taking on his demons via a brash upstart—but Hazelgrove negates cliché by powering straight through it and embracing the classic nature of the tale, which manages to be both modern and timeless. You can taste the ballpark dust, feel the smack of the ball in your glove, and feel assured that, somehow, these three strongly drawn characters will push on to victory.

About The Gospel According to Duchamp: 10 Shocking Strategies That Work to Becoming a Bestselling Artist by T.D. Hare:

This is not a work of fiction. It is a work of opinion. The Gospel According to Duchamp: 10 Shocking Strategies That Work to Becoming a Bestselling Artist is the manifesto of contemporary art based on relevant case studies and examples. It is a book about creativity in business, as the author sees contemporary art as being eventually a business.

T.D. Hare’s ten shocking strategies that work in contemporary art are more than creative courses. They are, in fact, methods that represent the basis of a solid marketing plan that will help aspiring artists get out of the clutter and make people talk about them.

In no time at all, The Gospel According to Duchamp might become the main, basic guide to anyone trying to succeed as an artist. It may prove to be a silver bullet for success not only in art competitions and art fairs but also on the greater stage of international contemporary art and the creative world.

At first intended for the aspiring artists, the book has earned a larger target, currently being an inspiring text for creative people, copywriters, art directors in advertising agencies, art dealers, gallery owners, curators, art consultants and for thousands of others around the world, all taking an interest in contemporary creations.

The Gospel According to Duchamp was meant to offer a fast reading experience. Many young artists looking and learning to gain recognition will probably get to the last page of the book in two or three hours at most. The author’s literary creativity and the creative quotes and his lively, clear style of writing, reminiscent of a police procedural, trigger the imagination and make you see the contemporary art in an entirely new light.

The Gospel According to Duchamp: 10 Shocking Strategies That Work to Becoming a Bestselling Artist may be a real anger trigger if you love classic art. Anyway, the author warns that accusations of anarchy, oblivion or fabrication are to be expected. He knows that and has no hesitation in challenging his critics:

”Your works must create a fuss. If nobody’s scandalized, you will also remain nobody. If you don’t throw in some ideas that are remarkable and, at the same time, strikingly new and surprising, you’re out of the game. You’re finished. Dead. You’re nobody. Quit art and start something new. Maybe this way, you’ll eventually succeed in being somehow useful to society.”

How can you succeed as an artist? To make things clearer, T.D. Hare makes a ten-step synthesis of his thinking. There are ten down-to-earth, cynical and tough strategies that work, including giving up old media and ancient art canvases and styles (such as painting, drawing or classical sculpture, which are now almost obsolete).

The solution for wannabe artists, claims the author, might be the exacerbation of violence and aggressiveness in art, but mostly, it is finding a new way of thinking and turning their ideas into art (and money).

T.D. Hare’s identity will come as a surprise to those reading the book.

The readers will surely be amazed (hint: T.D. is one of Joseph Beuys’s disciples, and a few years ago, there was a special relationship between them).

His writing style is simple, direct and unadorned. He writes about the most controversial contemporary artists, and while his descriptions of artists’ lives are succinct and precise, the real focus is on the artists’ works, on which he has highly original comments.

For all those concerned, The Gospel According to Duchamp is far from being a banal, insipid book about art. Is virulent, tough here and there, politically incorrect, violent and full of anger mingled with humor.

In no time at all, due to his revolutionary ideas and iconoclastic spirit, T.D. Hare will surely become the leading guru of young artists and creative people that want to get out off the clutter and make people talk about them.

About Broken Realms (The Chronicles of Mara Lantern, Book 1) by D.W. Moneypenny:

Mara Lantern doesn’t believe in metaphysical powers and alternate realities. That’s about to change.

After a jetliner plunges into the Columbia River near Portland, Oregon, everyone survives. So why do crash investigators have a hangar full of bodies, one for each passenger except Mara? Before the plane goes down, she glimpses a new reality, one with scales and snouts, fangs and gills. She sees a boy running down the aisle carrying a ball of blue light, chased by a girl who could be her clone. By trying to help, she unwittingly unleashes dozens of creatures on an unsuspecting world and sparks a series of events that threatens her life, her family and everything she believes. To save them, she has to embrace a power she cannot comprehend.

About The Yellow Hoods – Along Came a Wolf (Book 1) by Adam Dreece:

Three teens come together as The Yellow Hoods when their lives are threatened as someone seeks to get the first steam engine plans in this 1800s-esque world. Someone is on the hunt for the steam engine plans, and believes that master inventor, Nikolas Klaus, has them. Thought dead by most, and forgotten by many, the quiet grandfather has been living for years in the sleepy mountain town of Minette, keeping his inventions mostly to himself and watching his granddaughter grow up.

Fairy-tale elements are inspired by Ring-around-the-Rosie, as real world invents and people, such as a secret society by the name of the Tub (lead by a butcher, a baker and a candlestick maker) and a brilliant, grandfather by the name of Nikolas Klaus (Santa crossed w/Nikola Tesla).

Each book in the series darkens and matures, like Harry Potter and other young adult series that are written with the mature reader in mind. Book 3 releases in mid-April.

Author Bio:
After 25 years of writing short stories that he only shared with friends, Adam Dreece changed his life and direction in 2014 when he wrote and indie published the first two books in his young adult series, The Yellow Hoods. Both books have been repeat Amazon Best Sellers as well as a Calgary best seller (Dec 2014).

His views on young adult fiction are pretty clear from the reviews of his books, they should be stories that are for everyone, young and mature alike. Adults enjoy The Yellow Hoods’ highly layered nature, picking up some more serious as well as humour themes and moments, while the younger crowd can’t get enough of the epic adventure.

A graduate from Canada’s prestigious University of Waterloo, Adam’s career as a software architect has included a silicon valley startup and working as a principal consultant for Microsoft. He started taking his writing seriously after a bout with terrible pain and being hit with severe asthma. These days he’s a full-time author and calls Calgary, Alberta home. His wife and three kids are as much his passion as writing, and he engages with his following on Twitter pretty seriously.

Currently he’s working book 4 in The Yellow Hoods series as well as a Dieselpunk novella, both due to be released in late 2015.

Blurring the Lines by Roni Loren

Her bet is on the latter.
So when her best friend, Burke, offers to sweep her away to a private luxury island for a break, she can’t say no. Maybe if she can be someone else for a few days, the ghosts of the past will quiet. At least for a little while.

Opal Carew

Hi. I’m Opal Carew, a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author. I write erotic romance for St. Martin’s Press and Samhain Publishing, and I self-publish stories. I also write romance as Amber Carew.
So why do I like writing erotic romance? I like being able to push beyond traditional boundaries. I like dealing with a female character who is growing and evolving – questioning her sexual boundaries and pushing past them. My stories usually include menage a trois. It is great fun to write a heroine choosing between two equally appealing heroes… or more.
These aren’t women who just jump into bed with anyone. They find themselves in an unusual situation – something exciting and erotic – but a situation where they have to push themselves beyond their comfort level. As a result, they grow as a person. So often fear holds us back – of what others will think of us, of what we will think about ourselves – and we don’t follow our hearts. These women push past that fear.

Mari Carr

Writing a book was number one on Mari Carr’s bucket list. Now her computer is jammed full of stories — novels, novellas, short stories and dead-ends. A New York Times and USA TODAY bestseller, Mari finds time for writing by squeezing it into the hours between 3 a.m. and daybreak when her family is asleep.

Cathryn Fox

She has two teenagers who keep her busy with their never ending activities, and a husband who is convinced he can turn her into a mixed martial arts fan. Cathryn can never find balance in her life, is always trying to find time to go to the gym, can never keep up with emails, Facebook or Twitter and tries to write page-turning books that her readers will love. Cathryn also writes Young Adult novels under Cat Kalen and co-writes paranormal romance as Taylor Keating.
Eliza Gayle
Eliza Gayle lives a life full of sexy shapeshifters, blood boiling vamps and a dark desire for bondage…until she steps away from her computer and has to tend to her family.
She graduated Magna Cum Laude (which her husband translated into something very naughty) from college with a dual degree in Human Resource Management and Sociology. That education, a love of the metaphysical and a dirty mind comes in handy when she sits down to create new characters and worlds. The trick is getting her to sit still.
…Join her in her world. The door is always open and the next red hot adventure is just a page away.

Growing up as a small town Canadian girl, there wasn’t much to do but ride your bike, hang out with friends on the beach and daydream. I always wanted to write but never dreamed it was something I could do as a career. I love to travel and fell in love with the sheep covered hillside, old castles and romantic history of Scotland and England. I dream about waking up in Tuscany and touring small town shops in the south of France with my husband, of placing my toes in the ocean and experiencing history first hand. As a mother with three daughters, I’m learning that teaching them to pursue their dreams is a lasting legacy. I love to wake up to the Rocky Mountains, will forever enjoy the taste of coffee and chocolate and can’t imagine the day when a story doesn’t unfold in my heart. Living a life with passion and pursuing dreams is a life well lived.

Lauren Hawkeye

New York Time and USA Today bestselling author Lauren Hawkeye never imagined that she’d wind up telling stories for a living… though when she looks back, it’s easy to see that she’s the only one who is surprised. Always “the kid who read all the time”, Lauren made up stories about her favorite characters once she’d finished a book… and once spent an entire year narrating her own life internally. No, really. But where she was just plain odd before publication, now she can at least claim to have an artistic temperament.
Lauren lives in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta, Canada with her husband, toddler, pit bull and idiot cat, though they do not live in an igloo, nor do they drive a dogsled. In her nonexistent spare time Lauren can be found knitting, reading anything she can get her hands on, or sweating her way through spin class. She loves to hear from her readers!
