About A Standard Journey – 5 horses, 2 people, and 1 tent:

99 cents/ pence from 22nd July – 27th July – I donate 50% of all profits to horse charities

They rescued five horses from an unknown fate.
They sold everything they had.

They trained the lost and confused horses, and their own unfit bodies to meld into one team.

Life became horses, trail, and endurance: all seven reliant on one another as they trekked along part of Australia’s majestic Bicentennial National Trail.

What started as a dream adventure turned out to be more than they had ever imagined. The beauty of the trail didn’t lessen its dangers; with all their worldly possessions on horseback, they made mistakes and with humour learned the hard way.

They were amateur horse-handlers, tackling a challenge, but they created something special, unique, and incredibly endearing.

Fears were faced, healed, and conquered. Bonds were forged.

Did the team of seven that started together, finish together?

Saddle up and take a ride along life’s natural trail of trauma, fear, pain, and loyalty.

About 2012: The Fifth World:

By now, we all know the world didn’t end in December 2012 as the ancient Maya predicted. What exactly could have happened? The answer to that is the tale of Simon Gray, a former soldier to whom the CIA makes an offer he can’t refuse. And the tale of Guatemalan arms dealer Yum Cimil, a self proclaimed Mayan prince and Simon’s former friend.

Simon knows all too well the damage Cimil is capable of. This time, it’s stolen nukes and a presidential kidnapping. Decades earlier, it was more . . .personal. Now he’ll get his chance for revenge, but stopping Cimil won’t be enough. Homo sapiens isn’t the only hominid with skin in this game, and Simon must prevent an attack that threatens the very existence of the human race.

Author Bio:
Edward G. Talbot is the pen name for the collaboration of two authors: Ed Parrot and Jason Derrig. They have created a brand of thriller that keeps the stakes high while not taking itself too seriously. They met at a cross country running race in 1987. We won’t tell you here how it turned out, but Jason is far more likely to recount the results of that day than Ed. They discovered a lot of common interests, including sports, politics, and thriller novels. They also share the ability to talk for hours on end about absolutely nothing, a trait not fully appreciated by either man’s wife.

Ed has been an avid runner and cyclist for many years. In addition, he took up the discipline of racewalking in 2002, and represented the United States team in the 50 km (31.1 miles) event at the Pan-American Racewalking Cup in 2005. He lives in Massachusetts with his wife and daughter. Jason no longer runs, but is still an active skier and cyclist. He also enjoys listening to an eclectic collection of music, from jazz to classic rock to hip-hop. He lives in Massachusetts with his wife and daughters

The question they get asked the most is how do two people write a book without killing each other. That’s easy. They don’t own any weapons and they stink at unarmed combat.

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 Her Soldier’s Touch by JM Stewart:

Experience has taught single mother Rachel Madison that the only person she can truly rely on is herself. But what she wants most in the world—to give her son the life she never had growing up—means she must put her faith in a man who once walked out on her.

Retired from the service, U.S. Army Sergeant First Class Colten Taylor makes a detour to Phoenix to bury his brother. Nobody is more surprised than he is to see Rachel waiting for him at the airport. He regrets the morning he walked away from her, but coming from an abusive home taught Colt to put limits on all his relationships—especially this one.

So when he discovers he has a son, Colt knows this is a chance to prove to himself he’s not a chip off the old block. Turning his life around doesn’t come naturally, though. Then a drug dealer crops up from his brother’s dark past, threatening their son and forcing Colt and Rachel to face their demons … and each other.

About Eternal Service by Regina Morris:

A covert team of sexy vampires protects the President of the United States.

Heartbroken widower, and vampire coven master of the covert vampire group that protects the President, Raymond learns that the human director for his team is retiring. The replacement is a human female operative who has no idea that vampires exist. Due to a threat against the President, Raymond is forced to quickly indoctrinate her into vampire culture. He struggles with reborn romantic feeling even though he has sworn never again to pursue a human woman.

The female operative, Alex, accepts the Director position, all while battling her past baggage of not trusting men, let alone large immortal ones. Passion emerges within her, but to remain the Director of the team, and keep the dream career position she has fought for many years to attain, she must remain human with no romantic ties to the team.

My name is Regina Morris and I enjoy reading and writing paranormal romances. The style of stories I enjoy are light-hearted and a bit humorous, not dark and gory.

Washington DC, the White House, and the President are merely backdrops to support my romances. I believe in true romances filled with sexual tension, passion, and love… so that is what my books are like.

My COLONY Vampire series has five books, all of which are stand-alone stories which can be read in any order. There are no cliff hangers. They are all full-length novels with complete stories.

My latest novel came in first place in the Houston Writers Guild’s 2015 writing contest.

About The Origin of F.O.R.C.E. The Federal Organization for Response to Celestial Enemies by Sam B Miller II:

As haughty, brilliant, and rat-faced Dr. John Heinbaum would undoubtedly say,

“I’ll be happy to tell you about my discoveries. Explaining my work in such a way that it will be meaningful to a person with as low an IQ as you may be difficult, but I will try my best to make it understandable.”

“You’re a peach, Doc!” Lt. Jerome McPherson, the red-headed Scotsman exclaimed as he baited the egomaniac scientist to provide this brief explanation to my readers.

“Ever wondered about the real purpose behind the polio vaccine? How about what really goes on at the secret military base 135 miles north of Las Vegas, Nevada? Ever met a tall, enigmatic person wearing a dark green trench coat, a fancy sombrero, and dark sunglasses?”

“The Chrysallaman Empire has colonized every habitable planet in the galaxy, ruthlessly exterminating any sentient race that dared object to their benevolent conquest. Now they have completed a six month exploratory mission on Earth and found it to be an ideal colonization planet with a temperate climate, vast water reserves, lush vegetation, and a ruminant population of semi-intelligent animals called humans who pose no threat to the superior technological, mental, and physical strengths of the mighty Chrysallamans. In fact, when ground into a gritty paste, the humans are quite tasty. By sheer luck, the humans disable one of the Chrysallaman spacecraft in 1947 at Roswell, New Mexico, and capture a Chrysallaman youngster vacationing with his father. Now, with only 65 to 70 years until the Chrysallamans return to Earth with an immense invading fleet of warships and millions of colonists, humans have to prepare mentally, physically, and technologically, for the battle that will determine whether every human lives or dies.”

“A special group of men and women are chosen to save humanity from the impending invasion. An eccentric scientist, red-headed hellion specializing in reverse engineering, DNA specialist, Xenobiologist, and an assortment of specialized military commandos are assembled by the Pentagon into F.O.R.C.E., the Federal Organization for Response to Celestial Enemies.

The Chrysallamans just may have met their match!”

About Renew Your Wows: Seven Powerful Tools to Ignite the Spark and Transform Your Relationship:

Is it possible to read a book about relationships and come away feeling like your life, your entire existence, just changed?

Harvard trained psychotherapist and relationship pioneer Jeffrey Sumber says YES!!!
“Your life is meant to be poetry. The way you feel when you just fall in love with someone is the way you’re meant to feel about yourself when you wake up each morning.”

Imagine a pill developed to cure insomnia that winds up being an amazing solution for weight loss?

Renew Your Wows: Seven Powerful Tools to Ignite the Spark and Transform Your Relationship was written to help couples address challenges and yet it also serves to revitalize us as individuals!

With a significant focus on your personal journey to understand life and love, this is less a relationship “diet” book of “do this” and “don’t do that” and more about a creative lifestyle change. A change that comes with helpful ways to shift one’s perception of the “facts” and concrete tools with which to make life work better day by day. However, it is left to the reader to decide where they are and what they want to do in order to create the life and the relationship they long for…

Most of the time, life inside the world of a couple is wonderful. There are beautiful memories full of giggles and winks, passion, and binge-watching afternoons. Still, there are few experiences in life that can leave us feeling as powerless, and as stuck, as our relationships. Whether it’s the silent treatment, the bickering, the months of trekking through the sexual tundra, or, that personal favorite, the “F**k It!” button where we simply say, “what’s the point, let’s just end this here and now,” relationships are not easy work.

Regardless of whether you’ve been together a month or an eternity, we all need a sense of renewal in our meaningful partnerships. But here’s the good news- you don’t have to suffer in the Soup any longer than it takes to read this book. Renew Your Wows takes us on a journey of self-discovery that invites a shift in the way we relate to the people in our lives. Renew Your Wows takes months of intensive individual and couples counseling and offers the highlights!

Renew Your Wows teaches us:
• To identify and reclaim the Self
• To determine the relational landscape we have created and see whether our paradigm indeed meshes well with that of our partner
• To learn how to Respond instead of React to a vast array of circumstances
• To learn how to differentiate needs from expectations and establish an effective way to communicate that doesn’t invite a defensive reaction from our partners
• To create a structure for general communication with friends, family, co-workers and yes, our partners, that is conducive to joyful living and mutual respect
• To establish a set of protocols that help us plan our responses and keep exchanges clean and kind
• To separate Facts from Feelings in our daily discourse in order to understand how we need to be heard as well as truly hearing others
• To know when a relationship no longer serves us and to make a change happen with respect, kindness and peace

“Psychotherapist Jeffrey Sumber has written a wonderful, well-informed, and immensely helpful guide on how to realize the full potentials of intimate love. I highly recommend this book for those who are committed to taking their relationship to the next (and then the next!) level of happiness and wholehearted wellness.”
– Katherine Woodward Thomas, Bestselling author of Calling in “The One”

About Paradise Lot: GoneGodWorld – Episode One:

The gods are gone. All of them.

Their last message to humanity was: “Thank you for believing in us, but it is not enough. We’re leaving. Good luck.” At first no one took them seriously. Until, that is, all the denizens of all the heavens and hells started showing up on people’s doorsteps.

Creatures that were once thought of as myth are now refugees striving to adapt to life on earth. Trouble is, after eons of living forever, they’re not very good at being mortal.

Caught in the middle is Jean-Luc, a struggling hotelier who (reluctantly) promised to help these wayward ‘Others’ live in this new GoneGod world. But taking care of his guests, keeping his hotel afloat and dealing with the constant drama of the Others’ lives is figuratively killing him. And now that an unusually strange Other is in town, his figurative demise might soon become more literal.

Paradise Lot is a new urban fantasy series by R.E. Vance that chronicles the adventures of the humans and ‘Others’ alike, as they struggle to navigate this strange, new post apocalyptic godless world.

The Cast:
– The human Jean-Luc;
– The angel Penemue;
– The gorgon Medusa;
– The fairy TinkerBelle;
– The archangel Michael;
– The succubus Astarte;
– The poltergeist Judith;
– The shade Bella…

and many, many more legendary characters from mythology, folklore and fairy tales.

About The Commander’s Club by Honey Jans

Poor little rich girl, Cassandra J. Fox is a tabloid journalist on a mission–to avenge her parents. The man she holds responsible for their deaths, Senator Stringfellow, has thus far escaped her attempts to expose his dirty deeds. Now she has the tip of a lifetime: he keeps a secret office inside The Commanders Club, a Chicago BDSM club and training facility. All she has to do to get the goods on him is to sign up as a submissive. The only problem is she’s a virgin.
Undercover FBI Special Agent Ty Dragon is shocked to see the snoopy socialite-turned-tabloid reporter assigned to be his submissive trainee. The only thing saving her neck and his mission is that the mobsters running the club don’t recognize her. He plans to keep it that way while setting up the Club’s implosion. It’s not like topping the feisty little honey is a hardship.

Cassandra makes a deal: she’ll stay and pretend to be the perfect little submissive as long as he helps her get the proof she’s looked for half her life. Ty agrees, humoring her to protect her, but he’s later surprised to learn her suspicions to be well founded. But will he act on them in time to save the redhead reporter who has stolen his heart?

Author Bio:
Even before she pulled on her first set of combats, Alison Morton was fascinated by the idea of women soldiers. Brought up by a feminist mother and an ex-military father, it never occurred to her that women couldn’t serve their country in the armed forces. Everybody in her family had done time in uniform and in theatre – regular and reserve Army, RAF, WRNS, WRAF – all over the globe.

So busy in her day job, Alison joined the Territorial Army in a special communications regiment and left as a captain, having done all sorts of interesting and exciting things no civilian would ever know or see. Or that she can talk about, even now…

But but something else fuels her writing… Fascinated by the mosaics at Ampurias (Spain), at their creation by the complex, power and value-driven Roman civilisation she started wondering what a modern Roman society would be like if run by strong women…

Now, she writes Roman-themed alternate history thrillers with tough heroines:

About Kissing Frogs:

Warning: May cause happiness and laughter.

Summer is finally here and Geography teacher Sara Larson has exactly one month to find the perfect date for the wedding of a high school rival. The odds seem stacked against her, but the last thing she wants is to sit at the kids’ table again. Or even worse, the singles’ table. While trudging through an assortment of certified losers, Sara fights her attraction towards Ian, the irresistible guy next door.

Art teacher Ian McBride has a dream of opening his own gallery, but for now he’s focused on sculpting a gift for his grandparents’ fiftieth anniversary and enjoying a relaxing summer. However, Ian is blind-sided when crazy, beautiful Sara and her giant dog move in next door and rock his world. Too bad she wants nothing to do with him.

How can Sara avoid the attraction that sizzles between them and stick to her rule of not dating neighbors? As far as Ian’s concerned, the prince Sara is looking for is right under her nose. And one kiss just might change everything.

KISSING FROGS is a fun, fast-paced romantic comedy guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Let the fun begin!

About Tangled Up in Blue:

FREE on Kindle!

For a girl named after a bar, serious student Keegan isn’t exactly the wild and crazy type. But now she’s trying to get away from a stalker. She’s desperate and scared. So she moves into an infamous party house just off campus. It’s the only place available in the middle of the semester.

The last thing Army veteran Blue needs in his life is another damsel in distress. Trying to be a hero has already cost him dearly. All he wants is someone to help pay the rent. All he wants is to party like there’s no tomorrow. And forget the past.

But his new roommate–quirky, driven and definitely a distressed damsel–very quickly gets under his skin. He tries to resist; he tries to play it cool. But Blue is wrestling with demons he can barely control, and somehow, Keegan soothes his soul. Soon, he feels like he can’t live without her.

Keegan’s got a high-profile job on campus and no time for a playboy party animal, even if she’s living with him. But Blue–sculpted, sexy, so passionate about his music–fascinates her from the moment she meets him. And as she gets to know him, slowly peeling back the layers and discovering Blue’s heart-breaking secret, she vows to save him, even if it costs her everything.

Secrets have a way of exploding into the light. Sometimes it’s hard to know who’s a hero and who’ll turn out to be a heartbreaker. Is Blue the love of Keegan’s life, her knight in shining armor? Or will he become an agonizing mistake?

Searing and sexy, Tangled Up in Blue explores the cost of courage, deception and sacrificial love.

CLIFFHANGER ALERT: Tangled Up in Blue is Book 1 in the Ikana College contemporary romance series. Book 2, Shelter from the Storm, continues (and concludes) the love story of Keegan and Blue.

The Ikana College series is set in an Oklahoma college town and revolves around a group of students from wildly different backgrounds who find themselves living together in a ramshackle party house known as the Canadian Embassy. Along the way, they have to wrestle with the real-life consequences of not only their own actions, but also those of the imperfect adults around them. Lots of love, lust and drama ensues, accompanied by some damn good music.

About Finally I Left Him by Gwendoline Ewins:

Later she realises how young and silly she’d been, but at the time she was completely overcome by the handsome stranger and his decision to marry her. Within months Sylvia was his wife, living in his lovely house in the new exclusive subdivision, but already telling herself “I am being silly” or “it is just his way” when he said or did something – or didn’t say or do something – that hurt.
Years later she begins to want to change things. Later still she begins to plan.

A lot of people take it for granted that as soon as school is over, or perhaps after the big OE they’ll be off to university. Now And Then Series tells stories of young women who are left behind. A bit like me! I was fifty before I enrolled.
“Finally I Left Him” is Sylvia’s story. Dreams for her future are lost when a handsome stranger decides to marry her.
“Shattered” Fiona was on her way the airport and a brand new chapter in her life when a car accident kills her father and leaves her mother bedridden.
“Double Blessing” Tracey is half right and half terribly wrong about the reaction of her boyfriend.

About Crossed by Evelyn Blackwell:

“Twenty-four years ago, we began our work together, drawing back the veil of ignorance that conceals the world’s cruelties. We hoped to inspire our audience to become less cruel, less harmful. This is not what has happened.”

Su lit a fire.
Rayen taught her friends how to kill.
Julia’s ex started an epidemic.
But the Crosses are greater than the sum of their parts.

Among the jaded youth, a new ideology is gaining popularity, one that poses a threat to all humanity.

The revolution will be global, panlingual, and single-mindedly merciless.

Reviews so far:
“A new and fresh look at humanity’s future.”
“Never a dull moment in this fast-paced, fascinating, and at times heart-wrenching read.”
“A beautiful, controversial and powerful book”
