About Deadly Lies by Chris Patchell

Deadly Lies is on sale at $0.99 from 08/07/2015 through 08/11/2015.

“Chris Patchell’s debut novel, DEADLY LIES, is a taut, fast-paced thriller that grabs you from the start and doesn’t let go. Patchell is a master storyteller with a real talent for creating pulse-pounding suspense.” ~ Kevin O’Brien, New York Times Bestselling Author of TELL ME YOU’RE SORRY

Husband and wife stand on opposite sides of a divide created by lies and rooted in a dark and deadly past…

As a teenager, Jill Shannon fell victim to her stepfather’s cruel abuse. Now as an adult, Jill’s made it – she has a successful career and a solid, if not static, marriage to Detective Alex Shannon. Together they live out what seems to be a perfect life in Seattle.

The vow she made as a teenager to never again be a victim lies dormant – until one day a reporter lures her to his hotel room under the pretense of an interview – and suddenly all of it comes rushing back. Jill seeks revenge on the reporter, triggering a series of events that leads Jill down a wormhole of retribution, forcing her to spin an ever-widening web of lies.

Meanwhile, Alex is pulled into a case of a series of murders that began as cyber relationships. There seems to be a familiar fingerprint on these crimes, but Alex refuses to believe the murderer could be someone close to him.

About The Opposite of Living:

Abandoned orphan Carolina Brown wants nothing more than to be left alone with her cookbooks and her vivid imagination. After all, fleeing into an elaborate fantasy world is the only way to endure her existence at the Institution.

Unable to speak, and tormented by harrowing dreams, Cara has no memory of her past and little hope for her future. So when a mysterious couple appears, promising to help unlock the secrets that surround her, Cara reluctantly takes a chance at a new life.

Flung abruptly into a world of riddles, where nothing is as it seems, Cara is led on an extraordinary adventure that forces her to question everything she knows about reality. About her past, her future and the world around her, including what it means to be human.

Alternately funny and heart breaking, The Opposite of Living brilliantly explores the fierce, often tragic, beauty of being alive.

About “Drawn to the Flames” Series – “Charisma’s Song – Part One” by Ariadne:

In the romantic San Francisco Bay Area, Kate Hadley sells a multi-million dollar dream home to the man of her dreams…only to learn he resides in the dreams of a dozen other women, too.

Kate’s a smart, hard working single mom, fighting her way to the top of the real estate profession. Sasha Hadley, her naively sexy daughter, is ready for college but not ready for the men who will pursue her now that she’s turning eighteen. When Harrison Hill, fast moving investments guru, professional bachelor and collector of captured hearts, walks into Kate’s office looking for a celebrity house, he walks out carrying Kate’s hopes and ambitions for herself and Sasha.

But will having one Hadley be enough for Harry? And what of the other women in his over-heated sensual life?

“Charisma’s Song” is a three-part serialized 45K word short novel. Each part is a short story, often with a delicious edge-of-the-bed-hanger ending. Each “Drawn to the Flames” novel tells a complete story as the series progresses.

Author Bio:
With the “Drawn to the Flames” Series, Ariadne, of the red thread fame, returns to weave a new saga of searching and discovery in hidden depths. She invites the reader to join with the tough, beautiful, hard-working single mom Kate Hadley, and her smart, sassy, barely legal daughter Sasha as they find their dreams centering on Harrison Hill, mega-rich founder of Hill Financial Advisers, the top investment company in the romantic San Francisco Bay Area.

No stranger to the inherent comedy of humans in heat, Ariadne tells her tales of sexy exploration through the eyes and actions of the dozens of richly detailed main and supporting characters. Through the stories, Ariadne weaves a yarn of dense and colorful fabric, of sexual awakenings and challenges, of betrayals and loyalties, of secrets and sorrows, of lies that may not be lies, and not always clear truths.

She brings her cast of characters to life in realistic settings and circumstances, reflecting her own adventures among the rich and powerful. She has flown on the private jets, has known real-life billionaires, and has traveled to the places and stayed in the amazing inns and resorts she writes about. Kate and Sasha and their romantic lodestar Harrison Hill come to life based upon Ariadne’s wide knowledge and painfully-gained understanding of men and women through the long saga of human history. In sharing the journey, the reader will be sharing the world of one who is a seeker and visionary and historian of human sexuality as much as a storyteller.

Ariadne’s life and her personal triumphs and many disappointments are the best possible qualifications for spinning, weaving these tales. But she also benefits from her collegiate years in Berkeley and New York City, her work as a systems design and development professional, her years as a jet-setting marketer and consultant, and her successful stints as a senior corporate manager and international seminar leader.

Even closer to her stories are her affairs on four continents, her extensive travels, especially in Europe, and her long residence in Tokyo.

About Mash Up by Joe Klingler:

2015 WINNER NATIONAL INDIE EXCELLENCE AWARD – Fiction: Thriller

“A techno-thriller about digital music piracy and the people it affects most…a thoughtful, well-constructed tale.”—Kirkus Reviews

Disturbed by the death of a suspect in a recent case he feels was the result of his own failure to unravel a high-tech crime; Qigiq, Fairbanks detective, motorcyclist and knife-thrower, heads south to partner with the energetic, action-loving Kandy Dreeson of the San Francisco Police Department to be schooled on all things digital.

But when Robina, a violinist from a local college, arrives at the police station with body parts in an Amazon box screaming about her missing roommate, Kandy and Qigiq are soon drowning in a torrent of cyber-clues from YouTube videos to disappearing music files while dodging threats to their lives. With each bit they decipher they grow ever closer to the dangerous forces that would trade money for murder, and secrecy for seduction.

High-speed chase suspenseful, exploding with power-struggle intrigue, and awash in Silicon Valley “innovation,” Mash Up captures the enchantment of the Internet Age, and the deadly power of a file copy.

“Klingler makes supreme use of his tech knowledge in a grisly mystery that strives to address the ethics of content ownership. His effortlessly clever prose makes the subject thoroughly entertaining.”—Kirkus Reviews

Author Bio:
Joe Klingler is a programmer and musician whose first thoughts of writing were sparked by reading The God Machine by Martin Caidin as a boy. The thrills painted by words competed with dreams of the future of digital computing. Computing won out for a time and he became a computer scientist, pursued medical-imaging research, wrote papers, founded a software startup, and received patents and design awards. Eventually he landed in Silicon Valley where he was engulfed by the powers of corporate America. Throughout he continued to be fascinated with the art of storytelling, particularly the interplay of people and the technology they build their lives around.
“I became an author to examine the interplay of modern technology and the ways people choose to use it. RATS, my debut novel, was inspired by the story of a young boy injured by leftover war ordnance. Mash Up was motivated by a colleague’s white Napster logo on a black T-shirt as the transformation of the world by perfect digital copies at zero cost was just beginning.”

Joe currently resides in California with an iMac and a handful of motorcycles.

About The Harlow Hoyden:

Miss Emma Harlow hasn’t earned the reputation as a hoyden for nothing, so when the Duke of Trent discovers her in his conservatory stealing one of his orchids, he’s isn’t surprised—charmed, delighted and puzzled, yes, but not surprised. It is Emma who is amazed. She has naturally concluded that the man reading in the conservatory must be the country cousin (who else in London would actually read?) and is quite vexed to discover that he is the Duke of Trent himself—imagine, stealing the duke’s prize Rhyncholaelia digbyana under his very nose!

But her vexation doesn’t last long. For Emma is a practical young lady with a mission: to end her dear sister Lavinia’s engagement to the villainous (and dreadfully dull!) Sir Waldo Windbourne, and she thinks that the famous libertine is just the man for the job. If he would only seduce her sister away from Sir Waldo…. Well, not seduce exactly, but flirt mercilessly and engage her interest. Perhaps then Lavinia would jilt the baron. The Duke of Trent is resistant, of course. Despite his reputation, he does not toy with the affections of innocents. And besides, it’s not her sister he longs to seduce.
