About The Rat by Beth Madden:

Car boot loaded with his wares, Naos Tana leaves his Oshi Daini apartment at dawn, setting a gruelling pace for the Sato Area. With him, he drags his son. No apparent care for the boy, or “rat” as Tana calls him, he is brought only as a disguise, to mask a business trip of malicious intent as a harmless holiday. The rat is good-natured despite frequent humiliation and mistreatment, and is continually crushed by his father’s scorn, at a loss as to why he cares for his car, but not his son. When the rat sneaks from their inn room and unlocks his father’s car in the dead of night, the horrific nature of Tana’s business enterprises is exposed. Caught and with no one to turn to, the rat endures the remainder of the trip in terror, under threat of dire punishment for going near his father’s products. But even such misery fails to blunt the rat’s curiosity when Tana unwillingly acquires a stirring bundle at the conclusion of his business transaction.

Set in the Four Free Areas, a technologically advanced world where Gods watch from rivers and fantastical arts are practiced by wizards and priests, The Rat is the third instalment of Treading Twisted Lines with Darren, Maddi, and Kai, a fantasy story cycle.

Author Bio:
Beth Madden, born in Brisbane, Australia, knew since childhood she was meant to write. She is in the process of writing several fantasy novels which she aspires to publish both in print and electronically. The Rat is Book 3 of her Treading Twisted Lines series. Together with Books 1 and 2 (The Chosen Voice and Under the Bright Water), it was originally released in 2012. With Suddenly Calling’s publication (Book 4) on 16 July 2015 nearly here (it took long enough …), she hopes to share the entire Treading Twisted Lines series with many new and lovely readers.

Studying at university from 2006, Beth received her Bachelors of Science and Arts in 2009, majoring in biomedical science, psychology, and Japanese. From July 2010 until July 2012, she worked in Kyoto, Japan, as an assistant English teacher. Her experiences there lent to the conception of the Treading Twisted Lines series, and continue to influence much of her writing.

A music enthusiast, Beth sings soprano in the Queensland University Musical Society. She also plays piano, though her ability has decreased dramatically since she left school. Her favourite anime is Neon Genesis Evangelion (exposure to this show led to a two-year period focussed on writing sci fi stories, all which resemble the legendary anime), she used to collect porcelain dolls in droves (though sadly, many are now tucked away in boxes until she obtains more shelf space), and her ongoing unrealistic career aspiration, aside from writing, is to run away and join the circus as a singer.

Beth is @BLSMadden on Twitter, and can be found attempting to be proficient on many other exciting social networking sites across the internet.

About Pianist in a Bordello by Mike C. Erickson

What would happen if a politician decided to tell the truth—the whole truth?
Richard Youngblood, aspiring Congressman, is about to find out. He’s running on a platform of honesty and transparency—and against the advice of his friends and advisers he’s decided to start with himself. His autobiography will lay his entire life bare before voters just days before the election.
And what a life he’s had. Born in a commune and named Richard Milhous Nixon Youngblood as an angry shot at his absent father, Richard grows up in the spotlight, the son of an enigmatic fugitive and the grandson of a Republican senator. He’s kidnapped and rescued, kicked out of college for a prank involving turkeys, arrested in Hawaii while trying to deliver secrets to the CIA…Dick Nixon Youngblood’s ready to tell all.
He’ll even tell his readers about the Amandas—three women who share a name but not much else, and who each shaped and defined the man he’s become.
Are voters really ready for the whole truth?
Are you?
Pianist in a Bordello is a hilarious political romp through the last four decades of American history, from a narrator who is full of surprises.

About Journey To A Dream:

Like many of us Craig Briggs dreamt of living a different life, free from the stresses and strains of modern living. But unlike most of us, he decided to pursue his dream.
In May 2002 Craig, his wife Melanie and their dog Jazz left their home town of Huddersfield in England’s industrial north and set off for Galicia: a remote and little known region in the northwest corner of Spain. So began their JOURNEY TO A DREAM
With help from the locals, they quickly settled in to their new relaxed lifestyle but the search for a new home soon changed that. They encounter a freelance estate agent of dubious character and after several failed attempts to buy a house are forced to reassess their goals.
Worse follows; a brush with the law, a builder who refuses to work, a swimming pool that floats, and the mysterious disappearance of their life savings. The spectre of a penniless return to England with their dream in tatters hovers over them.
Join Craig, Melanie, and Jazz along a colourful, bumpy, and sometimes dangerous journey and immerse your senses in the sights, sounds, and tastes along the way.

Craig left fulltime education aged eighteen and began a career in retail. At the age of 28 he found his true vocation after buying into a small printing business. After 13 years of blood, sweat, and holding back the tears, he sold up to pursue his dream.
In May 2002 Craig, his wife Melanie, and their pet dog Jazz, squeezed all their worldly goods into their aging executive saloon and headed off to Spain. Not for them the tourist packed Costas of the Mediterranean coast or the hills of Andalusia, no, they headed for Galicia – a remote and little known region in the northwest corner of Spain.
Craig began writing a weekly column for an online magazine in 2004. Over the last few years he has written a number of articles for the Trinity Mirror Group and online publications such as CNN, My Destination, and Insiders Abroad.
In 2013 Craig published his first travel memoir, Journey to a Dream. It tells the story of a turbulent first 12 months in Galicia.
His latest book, Beyond Imagination, reveals their continuing adventures as they settle in to their new home and surroundings.
As well as writing, Craig and his wife Melanie own a traditional Galician farmhouse which they rent to tourists from around the world. He’s also an enthusiastic wine maker and currently works two small vineyards.

About Saving Babe Ruth:

Abe Lincoln and David Thompson would agree on at least one thing: “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” In 2009, this all rings true to Thompson when he looks at his house, his family, and at his hometown, the Town of Indigo Valley.

Based on a true story, when washed-out lawyer and Civil War buff David Thompson learns that the town’s baseball league is about to fold, he gets in way over his head. He becomes torn between saving the league for his son, Christy, along with his friends and saving his marriage to his wife, Annie.

Christy and Annie want to see David save the league, but the more David passionately tries to save it, the more he ends up hurting them. David desperately searches for a way to heal his family’s wounds while trying to save a league that’s dear to him so that he can live with himself.

David starts to keep secrets from Annie as a means to that end. At the same time, Indigo Valley wrestles to keep its secrets under wraps while it almost bursts with people leading double lives. They want David and the league to fail. And they’ll stop at nothing to get what they want, even if they have to go through Christy and Annie.

With the help of Johnny McFadden–a newfound friend who’s addicted to baseball–David concocts a plan to defend the league and his family. The pair will have to navigate through a maze of backroom politics, corruption, scandal and crime that extends to the professional sports world. David will have to call upon all of his legal and survival skills and then some to get things done.

Saving Babe Ruth reveals the underbelly of youth sports that’s hurting communities nationwide today. It’s a novel so controversial that one of the nation’s top professional sports agents is threatening a lawsuit over it.

New York Times bestselling author Margot Livesey says Swyers “has created a man for all seasons” in David Thompson and calls Saving Babe Ruth “an absorbing and compulsively readable novel.”

Saving Babe Ruth is also the inspiring story about a baseball team full of outcasts struggling to believe in themselves. When the time is right, they’ll face the prospect of having to fight crazy with crazy to save baseball for themselves, their town and beyond.

Amazon readers (4.8/5.0 stars) say you don’t need to be a fan of baseball to enjoy this novel.

If you like fast-paced and humor-laced stories, don’t miss this family’s fight to stay together as it confronts a youth sports underworld so full of characters your head will spin.

Winner of a number of accolades including the 2015 Benjamin Franklin Book Award for “Best First Book: Fiction.”

Author Bio:
Award-winning author Tom Swyers first had an audience on the edge of their seats (and the girls giggling) when his play, “The Great Train Robbery,” made its debut in the seventh grade.

After high school, he worked his way through some of the best colleges in the country. Employed in a variety of jobs ranging from a late-night convenience store clerk to a fine jewelry salesperson, Tom eventually graduated from college and then worked his way through law school in the caverns of Wall Street.

Since then, he’s studied at the New York State Summer Writer’s Institute at Skidmore College. He’s also a member of both the Authors Guild and the Hudson Valley Writers Guild.

Along the way, he married his high school sweetheart and raised a family. With that came baseball, but that’s another story (“Saving Babe Ruth”). Tom is also an award-winning youth sports advocate.

When he isn’t writing or reading, Tom is usually running (literally) away from trouble on the back roads of Upstate, New York where he lives with his family and two cats (really two dogs working undercover).

“Saving Babe Ruth” is his first novel and these are some of the awards it has received:

• Gold Winner, “Best First Book: Fiction,” 2015 Independent Book Publishers Association’s Benjamin Franklin Book Awards.

• Silver Winner, “Best Popular Fiction,” 2015 Independent Book Publisher Association’s Benjamin Franklin Book Awards.

• Reader Views, “Best Regional Fiction 2014/2015: Northeast.”

• Finalist, “Best New Fiction,” 2014 USA Best Book Awards.

About You Can’t Get Blood Out of Shag Carpet:

Wanda Jean Milton discovers her husband, local exterminator Hilton Milton, dead on her new shag carpet with an Old Hickory carving knife sticking out of his chest. Beside herself over how she’ll remove the stain, and grief-stricken over Hilton’s demise, Wanda Jean finds herself the prime suspect in the case. But she is also a member of “the” local Study Club, a bastion of independent Texas feminism 1960s style. Club President Clara Wyler has no intention of allowing a member to be a murder suspect during her administration. Aided by her younger sister and County Clerk, Mae Ella Gormley; Sugar Watson, the proprietress of Sugar’s Style and Spray; and Wilma Schneider, Army MASH veteran and local RN, the Club women set out to clear Wanda Jean’s name — never guessing the local dirt they’ll uncover in the process.

Author Bio:
Juliette Harper is the pen name used by the writing team of Patricia Pauletti and Rana K. Williamson. As a writer, Juliette’s goal is to create strong female characters facing interesting, challenging, painful, and at times comical situations. Refusing to be bound by genre, her primary interest lies in telling good stories.

Five of Juliette’s series are currently available. The best-selling Lockwood Legacy, is a nine-book chronicle of the lives of three sisters who inherit a ranch in Central Texas following their father’s suicide. The first four novels appeared in early 2015: Langston’s Daughters, Baxter’s Draw, Alice’s Portrait, and Mandy’s Father. The fifth, Irene’s Gift, will be published in September 2015.

Descendants of the Rose is the first installment of the Selby Jensen Paranormal Mysteries. The second book, Lost in Room 636, will be available later this year. Selby’s business card reads “Private Investigator,” but to say the least, that downplays her real occupation where business as usual is anything but normal.

And don’t miss the hilariously funny “cozy” Study Club Mysteries, a light-hearted spin off of The Lockwood Legacy. Set in the 1960s, this series takes on the often absurd eccentricities of small town life with good-natured, droll humor. The first book, You Can’t Get Blood Out of Shag Carpet, is already listed in the Amazon store with You Can’t Put a Corpse in a Parade coming soon.

Juliette’s latest creative efforts are in the short fiction arena. Her debut “Before” series is a collection of light, sweet romance stories that can be read in less than an hour. The first installment is Before Marriage with the second, Before the Affair, to be released shortly.

Fermata: The Winter is the first in a four-novella post-apocalyptic survival series. Five years after an unknown virus divided the world into the living and the dead, four survivors stumble into a winter sanctuary. Brought together by circumstance, but bound by the will to stay alive, a concert pianist and a girl from South Boston forge a friendship and a purpose to cope with their new reality.

Juliette is planning other short stories and novellas in the coming weeks and months. These pieces are available for Kindle only and will include companion shorts to her other series as well as stand-alone works.

Pauletti, an Easterner of Italian descent, is an accomplished musician with an eye for art and design. Williamson, a Texan, worked as a journalist and university history instructor before becoming a full-time freelance writer in 2002.

P.C. Zick describes herself as “a storyteller no matter what I write.” And she writes in a variety of genres, including romance, contemporary fiction, and nonfiction. She’s won various awards for her essays, columns, editorials, articles, and fiction.

Many of her novels contain stories of Florida and its people and environment, which she credits as giving her a rich base for her storytelling. “Florida’s quirky and abundant wildlife – both human and animal – supply my fiction with tales almost too weird to be believable.”

Her fiction contains the elements most dear to her heart, ranging from love to the environment. All of her novels contain elements of romance with strong female characters and descriptive settings. She believes in living lightly upon this earth with love, laughter, and passion, and through her fiction she imparts this philosophy in an entertaining manner with an obvious love for her characters, plot, and themes.
