About Pursued by a Dragon by Linda K. Hopkins:

Cathryn Forrester is a medieval business woman, the daughter of a successful wool merchant. She has been groomed from a young age to take over the family business, and has been quite content to let her personal life be directed by what is best for the business – including whom she will marry. And as a calmly pragmatic, infuriatingly stubborn and altogether practical young woman, this suits her just fine. She does not believe in love, after all.

So when Cathryn meets Favian Drake, a man who knows that love is worth pursuing, her ideas about love and marriage are put to the test. But Cathryn faces her greatest challenge when she discovers that Favian is not exactly who – or what – he appears to be. Can she learn to trust her heart and allow herself to love a dragon?

This short novel is the second book in The Dragon Archives series, and predates Book I.

About Riptide:

#3 Bestseller….99 Cents today, reg. $3.99

Once again, sinister things are afoot in Apalachicola, FL, and one of them is an actual foot.

When a local fisherman finds a severed limb in his net, it sets off a chain of events that no one can anticipate.

Lt. Maggie Redmond soon discovers that the foot belongs to the friend of another recently dead guy, Gregory Boudreaux, the man she never told anyone about. Gregory’s death was thought to be a suicide. That seems less likely, now that his best friend Sport’s foot has shown up out of the blue, as it were.

When it starts looking like town villain Bennett Boudreaux might be responsible for eliminating Sport, things begin to get a little weird. Especially since Maggie’s started to take a liking to Bennett. She’s also taken a real liking to her boss, Sheriff Wyatt Hamilton, but both her relationship to Bennett and her secret connection to the dead men threaten hers and Wyatt’s relationship.

Is Bennett protecting or avenging Maggie for some reason, or does he have something altogether different on his mind?

Excerpt from review of Low Tide, Book One in the Forgotten Coast Florida Series:
Ms. McKenna is able to introduce you to a character and make them so lifelike and real, that you’re certain she’s telling you about someone she knows very well. As for twists and turns, yeah, you’d better buckle up. Florida writers need to watch out, or better still read Dawn McKenna’s books. She’s the real deal.

About Harbinger of Justice: The Saga of Kel’Atar Malavir: Book 1 by Shane Donovan:

That is, all but a few. Now the Icarri elf Kel’Atar Malavir and his companions must try and halt the orc advance, lest the entire realm fall to the gruesome and relentless orc horde.

Author Bio:
I currently live in Canada and I used to wonder what I wanted to do with my life, work specifically. I always enjoyed writing but never had the stamina to actually sit down and write a novel. Poems, short stories, random thoughts; those were easy. But a novel? Oh boy. Then one day I decided to sit my butt down and just let my fingers go. Next thing I knew a page was filled, then a second, and before I knew it – I had a novel!

Now, that novel is stored somewhere and will probably never be seen by anyone other than my wife, but still. I never felt as alive as I did when scenes were coming together, when characters would find a way to overcome a problem and I found myself thinking “Wow, where did that come from?”

It was really at that moment that I got serious about it, and realized what I truly wanted to do. Write, write, and more writing. So that’s what I do everyday for a few hours before heading off to work, and you know what? I’ve never been happier :).

About Dragon’s Melody:

It was just a simple job transfer interview, but it was far from simple.

After the most mind-blowing ‘interview’ of Melody’s life, she signs a contract with a gorgeous man named Skye, who she believes isn’t really human. Neither is his assistant. The sweet, blond Garen is every bit as enticing as his boss. He’s even more inhumanly gorgeous and just as hungry for what Melody has to offer.

And she’s supposed to work for these two?

The entire endeavor goes south when she finds herself falling for both elusive men and their otherworldly charms. Melody never considered the possibility of love. She rejected romance for most of her life, because love was her enemy. Love left her mother wanting and left Melody nothing but loneliness for two decades.

The realization that she has to choose between two men she loves beyond all understanding sends her running scared. She refuses to choose, but the only other option is to lose them both and risk even worse heartbreak. Will she follow her heart or lose it all?

When she leaves, Garen and Skye follow, too consumed by love to do anything but compromise for Melody’s sake. In an act of desperation she falls into their waiting arms. Once in their embrace, she makes her choice—the choice Fate intended all along.

Discounted to $0.99 until July 5, 2015

Author’s Note: This is a complete, full-length novel that consists of roughly 40% steamy sex. Chapter 1 has masturbation, Chapter 2 has an FMF threeway, Chapter 3 has M/M, and it doesn’t stop there. There WILL be M/M and MMF and MFM. But be assured, the sex is carefully layered with aching want and cushioned by a beautiful story of how love can grow between three people intent on denying their own desires. Adults only.

About ECHO’s Revenge: A Young Adult Science Fiction Thriller:

The entire gaming community, including top competitor Claire Hamilton, is in awe of fourteen-year-old Reggie King who can take just minutes to destroy the demonic game boss, ECHO-6, in the bestselling video game, ECHO’S Revenge. Reggie can’t wait to test himself against the game’s new and improved monster: ECHO-7. To Reggie, ECHO’S Revenge is more than just a game; it’s his way to escape the harsh reality at home.

But there’s a glitch in the new release of ECHO-7. The game developers release a live version of the monster into the real world and now a 35-foot tall extreme predator clad in impenetrable armor with the power to shape-shift and turn invisible is hunting down every elite gamer who ever defeated it in previous versions. One by one, elite ECHO gamers are disappearing. And now, ECHO-7 is after Reggie.

Reggie fears that the monster will also go after his younger brother Jeremy who’s been steadily racking up plenty of monster-kill points himself. Determined to keep him safe, Reggie hatches a plot to destroy the monster and save fellow gamers. But can he figure out how to use his gaming instincts in the real world? And, can Claire help Reggie understand who he really is, so he can reach the next level?

Echo’s Revenge delivers non-stop, adrenaline-pumping action with a hero who is learning that it takes action to bridge the gap between fantasy and the real world—and that family loyalty is sometimes the trickiest game of all.

About The Heirloom:

Thirty-two year old Dr. Amelia Rimgold is about to testify in a generic drug fraud. Two days before she’s scheduled to go before the House Committee, she’s shot during an intermission at the New York Fowler’s Opera.
The hit man takes the victim’s antique gold locket. He has a collection of such souvenirs, ‘commemorating’ each of his jobs. The locket is an heirloom and once belonged to the victim’s ancestor, Rebecca Taylor, executed on September 22, 1692, in Salem. Rebecca had pressed the locket against the octagonal seal on her death warrant to merge the two and cast one last spell — to protect her female descendants from the kind of persecution and injustice she had suffered at the hands of the cruel and the ignorant.
Unknown to the hit man, a 110-grain steel bullet had rowed through Amelia’s brain and didn’t kill her. The FBI is now hiding a double-witness in a safe house on the Maryland seacoast, under a new identity – Dr. Randi Woolner.
Six months after the Rimgold ‘murder,’ President’s Science Advisor forces travel changes upon Dr. Arlen Littleson, a physicist heading for a conference in Lake Placid. Her team has successfully achieved cold fusion. The family trip ends in carnage on a secondary route through the Adirondacks. The research piracy is determined to be the job of the same hit man.
Ted Bester, an Agency field operative, joins forces with the Bureau’s special exec, Rick Brannigan. Neither agency has much information on the hit man until Brannigan learns that his double-witness is tied to the hit man in more than just an intuitive mental link, through the locket. And that Rebecca’s spell was about justice and retribution. The ancient spell is drawing the locket back to its owner — and the thief will follow, unaware of the forces at play. Suddenly Amelia Rimgold, the protected witness the FBI is hiding on the Maryland seacoast, becomes an invaluable asset – bait.
