Desolation Run by James Snyder
About Desolation Run by James Snyder:
70-something Oreny “Big” Johnson has a problem. Actually, he has two. Or maybe three. The first is that he’ll be dead from cancer, less than a year, which doesn’t particularly concern him: “The things I’ve been through, dying is just one more page in a long bad book.” But spending his last living days, taking his last living breath, behind steel bars does. That’s the second problem: Inmate #78903 in the notorious level-four Washington State prison known as Horseneck Bay.
Then there’s the money. Two million dollars of stolen military payroll, supposedly buried in some remote and mysterious south-Texas mountain range called Los Despoblados, or The Uninhabited, which sounds to Oreny like one of those places his mama Maybell always told him to avoid. But he’ll worry about that later. He has to get there first. Problem number three.
That’s when he brings those two smoldering dynamite sticks he’s attached himself to—his Luke-boy and Jaime—on board to help his tired old body break out of Horseneck and go dig up that money and then hightail it across the border into Mexico. And when they do break out, and Luke decides to bring his girlfriend Lauren along, and her enraged ex comes after them, and then the manhunt starts multiplying faster around them than those cancer cells inside him, Oreny still thinks he can control them. The problems, that is. At least, until Cade arrives.
Cade, the prison investigator Oreny knows is dangerous and unpredictable as a six-foot-two wolverine on eight gallons of adrenalin gone bad. And who won’t stop until he catches them and does to them what Cade does best.
Cade, Oreny knows better than anything else, is their biggest problem of all.

Author Bio:
James Snyder was born in Memphis, Tennessee and fell in love with the cadence and sound of storytelling as a child, listening to the meandering tales of his Southern grandmothers and great aunts. While still a child, his family moved to Napa Valley, California where he attended middle and high school, and began taking writing classes at the local college. He left after a year to join the military, and was a soldier with a tactical mobile operations unit in Germany when, pulling a Harz mountaintop guard duty one night during a snowstorm, he had the chance encounter with another soldier that ultimately became the genesis for his debut military thriller AMERICAN WARRIOR.
He is also the author of the suspense thriller DESOLATION RUN, the young-adult/new-adult trilogy THE BEAUTIFUL-UGLY, the short story collection TALES OF THE LATE TWENTIETH CENTURY, and other literary works.
“Berlin Diaries” is his occasional blog at JamesSnyder.net where he further discusses the backgrounds of his, and other, writings.
He currently lives in Texas.

Will the worst day of Sarah’s life turn out to be her luckiest?

After Jamie leaves Sarah waiting at the church, she feels that he tossed her aside just as her father did when she was a baby. Now she believes that the only way to understand why men don’t think she’s worth keeping is to find her father and ask him what was so wrong with her that he left and never wanted to meet her.
Sarah’s search exposes lies that prove shocking to her. Will her discoveries help her feel secure enough to recover her sense of self and move on with a new relationship?

About Sold to the Enemy, by Mandy Rosko:
Dex’s new owner is an old enemy…
In the distant future, engineered humanoids are created in labs and sold for pleasure to high paying clients. Dex, an engineered sex slave with intelligence far superior to the rest of his species, is aware that the possibility of a life outside of servitude is out of his reach.
Until Melody comes back into his life. The poor little rich daughter of one of his former owners, Melody’s lie sent Dex back to the labs for torture and testing until he was deemed safe to be sold again. Now she’s back, and she just purchased the rights to him.
Though she seems to have changed and is determined to make amends, Dex demands proof of her sincerity in exchange for his forgiveness.
His conditions are simple. Melody must play the part of sexual servant to Dex’s every need. In return he will not only forgive her, but perform the rare ability he was engineered with.
He will bring Melody to the height of pleasure, again and again, through psychic touch.

Calhoun: Sacrifice by Joe Mansour
About Calhoun: Sacrifice by Joe Mansour:
What would you do to save the life of your child?
Anything, everything.
James Calhoun, soldier until the MOD cutbacks threw him onto civvie street. Back into it as a military contractor, making more money in a week than he had in a year as a squaddie, it seemed like the good times would never end.
Now divorced and living on benefits in a one room flat, rock bottom after a downward spiral of anger and bitterness, his one solace is the weekly visit with his daughter.
He has been told that she will die and only he can save her.
But is the price more than he is willing to pay?

Joe Mansour always wanted to be a writer, but found that life got in the way. OK, fair enough, being a Jack of all trades but a Master of procrastination prevented him from doing much about it. A change in circumstances gave him the opportunity (and the resolve) to actually knuckle down and write a book – the first of what he hopes are many.
A modest man (he has much to be modest about – Churchill), he finds self promotion to be, while not physically painful, moderately uncomfortable. However he does feel that his book(s*) are worthy of merit (he felt a bit dizzy then at such self-aggrandizement). His book(s) are good, his mum has said so and she can’t even read! **
*More to come soon
** She can read.

Only for Him
Grayson Ford and Emma Kinglsey–close since they were kids, opposites in every way. He’s the stuff high school crushes are made of, Mister Popular, and captain of every team. She’s artsy, cute, and not in his league, though fully aware of Summerland’s “I Dream of Dating Grayson Ford” support group.
I can’t say no. The girl’s had my heart since before I knew it went missing.
He hides a life of hell. His father hates him, his mother’s gone. Emma is his only savior, yet she doesn’t know her power over him. She’s the only girl he wants, the only one he could ever tell–though he won’t.
I’m stronger, bigger, more of a man than he’ll ever be, but because I ruined his life, I’ve taken his crap, his attacks, the vulgar nature of his existence.
Until she discovers Gray’s embarrassment, his humiliation. Emma fights for him and for a chance. Theirs is a Cinderella story that she believes impossible. But as the layers peel back, it’s just a guy who needs a girl in order to keep breathing.
My mind is already doodling Mrs. Grayson Ford in imaginary notebooks. He has no clue where my head is at… But, given that I didn’t see what just happened coming, maybe I have no clue where his head is at either.
Only for Him. Only series, Volume One.
