About A Flag for the Flying Dragon: A Captain No Beard Story:

It’s business as usual on the Flying Dragon. Their mission is to find a flag for the ship. Captain No Beard sighs, “Being a captain is hard work,” as he watches the busy crew preparing the vessel for their next adventure.

Polly is giving out pretzels; Linus is polishing a lamp. Matie is cracking coconuts, Cayla is stuffing holes, and Hallie is swabbing the deck. High overhead, trouble is brewing, and it is not the weather.

Mongo does not want any help from the newest crew member, and it is creating a hurricane of a mess on board.

The team must come together and find a task that will fit Zachary without interfering with their own fun. On the way, they acquire a flag that will unite them as both friends and crew.

Join the problem-solving crew of the Flying Dragon as they find a flag for their ship and a job for Zach.

About Taken: The Vampire’s Concubine Part One by Desiree Broussard:

Keely was used to fighting to survive. It was the only way to live in the ruined and ravaged remains of humanity. Never in her wildest dreams did she really believe that vampires were real. At least she didn’t until the night she was abducted.

Taken and held captive with four other women, they quickly learn the reason for their abduction. Due to a genetic fluke, their blood contains the v factor… And the vampires want them to repopulate their world.

Expected to participate in a market and pick a mate, Keely is floored by her attraction to the sexy vampire that guards her. But he’s not the only one that wants her. How can any female choose?

I’ve always had a fascination with vampires. My ideal man evolved from tall, dark, and sexy to tall, dark, and sexy with fangs. And so my fantasy was born.

My first release is Taken: The Vampire’s Concubine (Part One). If you like a safe and neat series, this is not for you. Taken is very dark in nature, with strong sexual themes, dangerous situations, and Gothic undertones throughout it. When you open the pages to my series, you’re stepping into a world ruled by beings that survive on blood. There’s nothing safe about that.

The year is 2050, and Keely has just been abducted from her home in small-town USA. Blindfolded and bound, she is taken into outer space and delivered into a world with three moons and no sun. Almost immediately, she discovers her fate. Due to a rare blood factor she’s been taken and now she’s expected to select a male vampire mate and breed.

The attraction between her and her guard is instantaneous, but where can it lead? Now a concubine, Keely is taken for her grooming. The market is quickly approaching, her future dark and uncertain. She’s destined to be a vampire’s concubine, but which one will she pick?

About Shadowcat: Tales from the Edge of Sleep by Victoria Randall:

There is a misty place between sleep and waking, where if you wander long, you may find yourself lost in a world of strangeness. You may meet the irrepressible Shadowcat, recruiter for the Catmasters Guild, who use cats as weapons. You may hear of a colony of spacefarers who have vanished completely, or encounter a sandwich with a terrifying ultimatum, or meet the last known human being in the universe. You may find that the voice in your mind is not yours at all, or learn that time travel has its drawbacks.
Seven short stories set in the future, and on other worlds, and in this one, which is strange enough when you think about it.

About The Wrath of Jeremy:

“When Darkness Repents, Heaven and Hell Collide”

From the age of twelve, doctors have told Jeremy Daven that his visions of terrifying beasts and bloody revelations are the result of a debilitating mental illness.

If only they were right.

As the adolescent reaches adulthood, his ‘schizophrenia’ intensifies; it seems he can’t even eat breakfast without witnessing apparitions too hideous to bear. All Jeremy wants is a normal life; to be the son his family wants him to be. But just when he thinks his brain is finally dissolving into the darkest pits of madness, small signs appear that hint there might be more to his affliction than meets the eye.

Is Jeremy insane, or is he simply answering the call of fate?

Beyond the bounds of suburban sanity, an unseen war is being waged. As Jeremy stands on the precipice of embracing his destiny, he’s faced with an impossible truth.

Being crazy is unbearable. But to be the only sane person in a world gone mad, is much, much worse.

About Homeowner With a Gun:

It’s the middle of the night. You’re awakened by a noise. Someone’s in your house. What do you do?

When it happens at 148 Maple Drive, homeowner Jeff Shaw gets his gun and goes downstairs to investigate. He finds two men in the kitchen and shoots them both. Dead.

The incident puts great strain on Jeff and his family. He wants to believe they just need to get on with their lives and everything will return to normal. But it’s not that easy. The dead intruders belonged to a gang, ANG, “Ain’t No Game,” that now wants revenge. And one of the gang, an ex-con who goes by the name I-Man, knows more about the break-in than he’s letting on.

It starts with a threatening phone call. Then it gets worse. The police, unable to protect the Shaws, suggest they move away for a while. But Jeff won’t be intimidated from his own house. “Homeowner With a Gun” takes the reader on a suspense-filled thrill ride as this everyman fights to save himself and his family, while something a detective said plays in the back of his mind: “Maybe the intruders broke into the wrong house. Happens all the time. You wouldn’t believe how often…”

HOMEOWNER WITH A GUN–On sale Aug. 12-15, 2015 for 99 CENTS!

Author Bio:
Samuel Hawley was born and grew up in South Korea, the son of missionary parents. After earning BA and MA degrees in history from Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, he returned to East Asia for two decades to teach, first in Japan and then Korea, retiring in 2007 as an associate professor of English at Yonsei University in Seoul.

Hawley launched his second career as a writer with THE IMJIN WAR (2005), a 700-page account of Japan’s sixteenth-century invasion of Korea and attempted conquest of China, reviewed in the South China Morning Post as “magnificent” and on Strategy Page as “like a prelude to Shogun.” After two more other East Asia-themed books, he turned to sports nonfiction with SPEED DUEL: THE INSIDE STORY OF THE LAND SPEED RECORD IN THE SIXTIES (2010), which received starred reviews in both Publishers Weekly and Library Journal, and I JUST RAN: PERCY WILLIAMS, WORLD’S FASTEST HUMAN, named one of the five “Best Sports Books of 2011” by the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation).

Hawley has most recently tried his hand at fiction with his first novel, BAD ELEPHANT FAR STREAM, the life story of a circus elephant, told through her own eyes. The thriller HOMEOWNER WITH A GUN is his second fiction effort—and almost certainly not his last!
