About The Troublesome Apprentice:

While investigating the death of a friend and client, Maddy Hamilton, Xavier Thorn (reputed to be the greatest sleuth in England) is greatly impressed with Maddy’s nephew, Victor, and offers him a job as his secretary. Aware of Xavier’s history of firing secretaries, Victor garners a promise that for three months he cannot be fired.
Vic then proceeds, in Xavier’s view, to be cheeky and impertinent at every turn. Xavier endures the impudent pup because Victor is most skilled in extracting the truth from clients and intuiting facts with little evidence to assist.
As they solve a string of cases, Xavier discovers a few more important details about his troublesome apprentice, such as her true gender, and the realization that she has awakened his long dormant heart.

About Where the Light Enters by Kathy Miner

Almost a year has passed since a plague wiped out over 99% of the population. In the mountains of Colorado, a group of survivors have made it through their first winter. The world is profoundly changed, and so are the people. Humanity has taken an evolutionary step, and whether the increased intuitive knowing will serve to rebuild or destroy mankind remains to be seen.

Naomi, a housewife in the time before, has spent the winter preparing for a journey she’s terrified of. She knows her daughter is alive and is determined to find her; what she doesn’t know is that Piper has become as dangerous as she is damaged. Jack, formerly a youth pastor, struggles to lead his community through the day-to-day challenges of living, while hiding the dark longings that consume his mind and could destroy his heart. And brilliant young Grace survived the brutal attack she suffered the summer before, but now she’s faced with consequences she can’t think herself out of.

In this sequel to the award-winning “What Survives of Us” the path is difficult and dangerous, and help isn’t coming from the outside. People must look within, and learn that when it comes to survival, courage and hope are the most vital skills to possess.

About The Death Detail:

It begins in Securus, a subterranean facility originally built to protect an elite group of people in case of nuclear war. When a biological weapon known as The Agent was released, Securus was retrofitted to protect from the devastating plague that ensued. It was the only facility prepared in time, leaving its inhabitants as the last survivors on Earth.
There is a Leadership caste that oversees the colony and general workers that maintain it. The story follows the first-person view of Kagen Meldon, a 26 year-old Healer from the worker class. While out in an adjoining cave system, one of his closest friends is murdered. Kagen is unsure of what really happened, but he does know the truth is being covered up. The danger this puts him in becomes all too real when Leadership assigns Kagen to a position on what the workers call the Death Detail. It is a deadly task, especially since it involves going to the surface where the threat of The Agent is ever-present. If Kagen is ever to discover the secret the conspirators are trying to hide, he must first find a way to survive the Death Detail.

About Bloodgifted:

Being unable to age is only the beginning.
Laura Dantonville is shocked to learn her strange genetic mutation, is linked to a dark family secret—a centuries-old curse that turned her Roman ancestor into a vampire. Now that she has come of age, she is the key to breaking that curse. But she’s also the prey of rogue vampires who inhabit the city’s frightening and violent underworld, as her blood gives them the ability to daywalk. For her protection she’s assigned a guardian—the handsome, sexy and dangerous Alec Munro.
And he wants nothing to do with her. If not for her family, Alec Munro would never have been transformed into a vampire. He owes them nothing, yet he also knows his own fated role in breaking the curse, and the unthinkable consequences should he not accept.
To the Brethren, the ending of the curse spells disaster. Among a powerful few malice grows . . .

Author Bio:
I’m a former ancient historian and archaeologist who accidently smashed a 3,000 Egyptian vase while on my first dig! My supervisor made me glue it back together again. It took a week. From there I went on to specialise in late Roman-British archaeology, and the military forts along Hadrian’s Wall, because buildings don’t smash as easily. Now I’ve combined my love of history with another passion—story-telling—to create a dark tale of Roman soldiers cursed by a British witch.

I have always been a storyteller, but it wasn’t until five years ago that I seriously ventured into writing. The result was Bloodgifted. In 2011 it was shortlisted in the Atlas Award and eventually came fourth place. In 2012 it was listed among the top ten in the Choclit Search for an Aussie Star Competition. In 2013, I was offered a publishing contract but declined in favour of going indie, preferring the idea of being in charge of my own creation.

Bloodgifted is just the start of a four-part series I’ve entitled, The Dantonville Legacy. Book 2, Bloodpledge, was released in 2014, and Book 3, Blood Vault, is due for release June 2015. I also intend to satisfy my fans requests by writing individual books on the other characters in the series. So Terens, Cal Jake and Sam will each have their own story.

I currently live on the Central Coast, an hour’s drive north of Sydney in Australia. My little house is surrounded by bushland, possums and seed-dropping Rosellas on one side, and waterways on the other.
Between bouts of writing, I can be found in the kitchen baking yet another chocolate recipe. This activity is responsible for forming more gothic, urban fantasy stories in my mind for future books

About The Vital Principle by Amy Corwin

Well-known inquiry agent, Mr. Knighton Gaunt, is hired by Lord Crowley to attend a séance and reveal the spiritualist as a fraud. The task seems simple enough until he arrives at Rosecrest. The séance has barely begun when the sole source of light, a thin taper, goes out, and the séance dissolves into fear and turmoil. Before Gaunt can bring order to the room, Lord Crowley suddenly dies. The lingering scent of bitter almonds indicates Crowley’s brandy may have been poisoned, and Gaunt can only conclude that one of the attendees must also be a murderer.

Confronting the attractive—and suspiciously calm—spiritualist, Gaunt strives to discover if she is simply a charlatan or a murderess.

Miss Prudence Barnard, the spiritualist, has the most obvious motive. Lord Crowley had hired Gaunt to discredit her, an action that would destroy her livelihood. All the other guests are long-time friends of Lord Crowley and seem appalled by the tragedy. But as Gaunt digs deeper into the past, he discovers Crowley’s friends may have had even stronger motives. As the investigation continues, the guests turn against one another, and their relationships crumble under the mounting tension. Not everyone at Rosecrest held Crowley in high regard. Some, in fact, hated him.

Lies and dark secrets from the past soon challenge Gaunt to separate fact from fiction and find the real killer before he, or she, can strike again.

About Earth Vs. Aliens by T. Jackson King:

Jack Munroe grew up in the Asteroid Belt and learned to never take anything at face value. In space, you assume, you die. So when Aliens show up in the distant Kuiper Belt, out beyond Pluto, asking for a First Contact ‘chat’ with his crewmates on the comet hunting spaceship Uhuru, he warns his captain not to trust words but to get the heck away. His evolutionary biology studies have taught him that bright skin colors, shark-like teeth and talons mean these Aliens are star-traveling predators! But that violates the ‘feel good’ society promoted by Earth’s Unity government. A bloody fight ensues and Jack realizes these Aliens are keystone predators aiming to add Sol system to their home territory. Jack leads a battle to ensure Humans will never be slaves to Aliens. If someone has to die to make space safe for humanity, then those dying will be Aliens! This 91,000 word combat SciFi tale tells the story of Jack Munroe, crewman on a comet hunter spaceship that makes First Contact with ‘Keystone predator’ Aliens in the Kuiper Belt beyond Pluto. When his crewmates die in a trap set by the Rizen aliens, Jack and his buddy Max begin an anti-Alien crusade that defies the social orthodoxy of Earth’s Unity government and puts their lives at risk. T. Jackson King (Tom) is a professional archaeologist, journalist and the author of 18 science fiction novels. This is Book 1 in the Aliens series and is a standalone story. Other titles in this five-book series are Humans Vs. Aliens, Freedom Vs. Aliens, Aliens Vs. Humans and Humans Rule Aliens.

Author Bio:
T. Jackson King (Tom) is a professional archaeologist and journalist. He writes hard science fiction, anthropological SciFi, dark fantasy/horror and contemporary fantasy/magic realism–but that didn’t happen until he was 38.

Before then, college years spent in Paris and in Tokyo led Tom into antiwar activism, hanging out with some Japanese hippies and learning how often governments lie to their citizens. The latter lesson led him and a college buddy to publish the Shinjuku Sutra English language underground tabloid in Japan in 1967. That was followed by helping shut down the University of Tennessee at Knoxville campus in 1968 and a bus trip to Washington D.C. for the Second March on Washington where thousands demanded an end to the Vietnam War.

Temporary sanity returned when Tom worked in a radiocarbon lab at UC Riverside and earned an MA degree in Archaeology from UCLA. His interests in ancient history, ancient cultures and journalism got him several government agency jobs that paid the bills, led him to roam the raw landscape of the Western United States, and helped him and his wife Leslee raise three kids.

A funny thing happened on the way to normality. By the time he was 38 and doing federal arky work in Colorado, Tom’s first novel STAR TRADERS was a stage play in his head that wouldn’t go away. So he wrote it down. It got rejected. His next novel was published as RETREAD SHOP (Warner Books, 1988). It was off to the writing races and Tom’s many voyages of imaginative discovery have led to 18 published novels, a book of poetry, and a conviction that when Humans reach the stars, we will find them crowded with space-going Aliens. We will be the New Kids On The Block! This theme appears in much of Tom’s short fiction and novel writing.

Tom lives in Los Alamos, New Mexico, USA and hangs with a group of smart and tolerant Westerners. Divorce has taught him to smile a lot and to work at being a Nice Guy. Still, he is pretty weird. Has been since fourth grade when he began reading SciFi. Since then, he and Authority have rarely been in agreement.

Readers are welcome to visit his T. Jackson King Facebook page. If you Friend him you will get the latest news on his writing efforts! Also, Tom’s Twitter handle is @TJacksonKing. Reviews of his novels, interviews and news of upcoming novels can be found at his author page on http://www.tjacksonking.com/.
