Author Bio:
T. Jackson King (Tom) is a professional archaeologist and journalist. He writes hard science fiction, anthropological SciFi, dark fantasy/horror and contemporary fantasy/magic realism–but that didn’t happen until he was 38.

Before then, college years spent in Paris and in Tokyo led Tom into antiwar activism, hanging out with some Japanese hippies and learning how often governments lie to their citizens. The latter lesson led him and a college buddy to publish the Shinjuku Sutra English language underground tabloid in Japan in 1967. That was followed by helping shut down the University of Tennessee at Knoxville campus in 1968 and a bus trip to Washington D.C. for the Second March on Washington where thousands demanded an end to the Vietnam War.

Temporary sanity returned when Tom worked in a radiocarbon lab at UC Riverside and earned an MA degree in Archaeology from UCLA. His interests in ancient history, ancient cultures and journalism got him several government agency jobs that paid the bills, led him to roam the raw landscape of the Western United States, and helped him and his wife Leslee raise three kids.

A funny thing happened on the way to normality. By the time he was 38 and doing federal arky work in Colorado, Tom’s first novel STAR TRADERS was a stage play in his head that wouldn’t go away. So he wrote it down. It got rejected. His next novel was published as RETREAD SHOP (Warner Books, 1988). It was off to the writing races and Tom’s many voyages of imaginative discovery have led to 18 published novels, a book of poetry, and a conviction that when Humans reach the stars, we will find them crowded with space-going Aliens. We will be the New Kids On The Block! This theme appears in much of Tom’s short fiction and novel writing.

Tom lives in Los Alamos, New Mexico, USA and hangs with a group of smart and tolerant Westerners. Divorce has taught him to smile a lot and to work at being a Nice Guy. Still, he is pretty weird. Has been since fourth grade when he began reading SciFi. Since then, he and Authority have rarely been in agreement.

Readers are welcome to visit his T. Jackson King Facebook page. If you Friend him you will get the latest news on his writing efforts! Also, Tom’s Twitter handle is @TJacksonKing. Reviews of his novels, interviews and news of upcoming novels can be found at his author page on http://www.tjacksonking.com/.

About The Book of Daniel by Mat Ridley:

Daniel Stein is having the worst day of his life. The last day of his life, in fact. And things are only going to get worse for him tomorrow.

Death is only the beginning for Dan. Waking up to find that his wife, Joanna, has also been killed is bad enough, but then Dan also finds a sword shoved into his hand, and is told that the only way he’s ever going to get to Jo—and Heaven—is if he does as God tells him and fights against the forces of Satan’s army.

But demons are the least of Dan’s problems in the afterlife. There’s also his hatred of God to contend with.

And Dan is pretty sure that God hates him right back.

Welcome to Purgatory.

The book will be discounted from 21-27 August.

About The Kaleidoscope:

Harold’s a shy computer forensics expert whose world spins from black and white boring to Technicolor danger when he’s given a mysterious kaleidoscope. Forced to become an amateur detective, he’s joined by Pepper, a spunky breast cancer survivor who challenges him to color outside the lines and look at life–and himself–differently. Together they race to solve the riddle of what makes the ‘scope work before the bad guys get their clutches on the valuable future telling device.

Brilliant but socially inept, Harold has distanced himself from any connection to his dysfunctional childhood. Abandoned by a father accused of his mother’s death, Harold trusts no one until the ‘scope forces him to accept a circle of friends he must rely on. To protect all their lives from imminent danger, Harold must discover the source of the ‘scope’s mysterious powers. Just as he is on the verge of learning how it works and why his past connects to his future, he must face disturbing truths he’s run from all his life. Join Harold and his new group of friends, including Rhashan the mailroom guy with his own secrets, to Pepper who’s embracing life for all it’s worth. Keith and his partner Frank are also crucial to the solving, but have some unfinished business of their own. When Harold’s past meets his future, everyone in the gang works side by side to discover who’s behind the incredibly exciting, but scary, advances in technology only dreamt of until now.

About Something’s Gotta Give:

THE COALSON BROTHERS SAGA CONTINUES! BOOK THREE ONLY $2.99!
Chance Coalson loves women. And they love him. Young or old, no woman is immune to his charm.
Except one.
Georgia Haines is the only female volunteer firefighter in Grafton. She’s had a crush on Chance Coalson since he offered her his handkerchief at her momma’s funeral. But she’s smart enough to know that it takes a special woman to tame a charmer like Chance, and there’s nothing particularly special about her.
When fire breaks out at the Coalson’s construction business and Chance is trapped inside, Georgia braves the flames to save him, only to discover her “crush” has morphed into love. And she’s helpless to hide her desire.
Chance awakens to find an angel breathing life into his lungs with a kiss. The woman he wanted more than any other was the one who paid the “Casanova of the County” no mind.
So how does a man with a bad reputation convince a shy firefighter that he’s worth taking a chance on love?
By fighting fire with fire…..

About The Dagger of Aita: Retribution (Book One):

Throughout history we have been here. Born of the union between the Watchers and the Daughters of Men, our human hearts pump the blood of Angels through our veins. Yet, we are neither human nor Angel. We are the Alimentatori, descendants of the divine, and this is just the beginning…

In my two-hundred and sixty three years I have witnessed much, yet nothing could have prepared me for the devastating murder of my brother, Julian. While he lies in stasis awaiting The Release, his killer roams the Lazio region of Italy free to seek other victims. But, all is not right behind the veil of this ancient landscape. Its beauty hides a world of ancient secrets, hidden agendas and political intrigues. In order to extract my vengeance, I must first play a dangerous game according to another’s rules. Playing by the rules has never been my forte; toppling a game-board or two would suit me just fine! Regardless of the dangers that lie ahead, Retribution will be mine. My name is Jacen Trudeau of the House of Samsaveel and I’m about to open Pandora’s Box.

Here’s what reviewers said about this rocketing train ride into darkness:

5 out of 5 stars ~ A Whole New World! ~ What is this all about? My theory is a parallel dimension where the zag happened when we zigged. The Aliment are NOT what you think they may be in the first 2 story pages, I love it!! The Cambiare? I believe we have yet to learn the truth about these magnificent beings. The Devotee? I have my theories about these humans. I don’t know if I will be right or shocked, and am willing to wait almost patiently for SJ to tell me. ~K. Kishel, Avid Fantasy Reader – fan of Robert Jordan, Anne McCaffery, and Frank Herbert

5 out of 5 stars ~ A Fantasy Mystery ~ This book is a fast pace book with lots of mystery and fantasy mixed together. I love the take on mystical creatures. The plots twist and turn leading you every which way wanting more…Can’t wait for the next book in line. So much I wish to say but don’t want to give anything away. ~Kristal Walker, Writer and Indie Film Director

4 out of 5 stars ~ …And…? ~ If I hadn’t enjoyed the characters, the fantasy culture-building, and the storyline so much, I wouldn’t be nearly so disappointed that I now have to wait for the next installment to get back on board this wild and entertaining train ride, (or should I say plane ride?)…I very much recommend this book for its well-developed characters, (even the ones you may not like so much), and the twisty-turny storyline that keeps you surprised, and wanting to know what happens next…a real “page-turner” ~ Cynthia Muratori, Avid Reader

Author Bio:
As a wife, mother of three, and US Navy Veteran. I have spent a great deal of my life in service to others. In late 2008 I realized that the one thing in my life that had not been given its due, was the love of my youth – writing. With the kids grown and my military service in the past, I made a pact with my Muse. I would put writing at the forefront and he would guide me to my ultimate goal, publication.

For the first two years I tried. I dabbled in historical romance. I got a third of the way through a novel before it lost its luster. The struggle frustrated me. I stepped away from the desk and glared at the screen as if it were the problem and not me. And then I met a young woman who wrote in a genre I’d never considered. I picked up one of her Urban Fantasies and within a few pages knew it was something I would like to try my hand at. I immediately sat down and wrote a scene – for the first time ever – in first person. What was created had a life I’d never seen in my writing before. After a lifetime of practicing my art, I’d found a new way to move forward.

Unfortunately, the right angle at fantasy and a good story alluded me. Then one day, while sitting in a workshop where the speaker was talking about her vampire series, my mind wandered. Through a crack, somewhere in the creative, a scene unfolded. Two characters came to life and played out a scene on a rooftop. I wrote the first couple of lines on the napkin next to me. When I got home, I wrote the scene. To my amazement, it was pretty good. I loved the characters. I loved the banter. I loved how writing it made me feel. Finally after so much struggle, my Muse had done it. He’d finally broken down the barrier that had kept the ideas at bay and given me a story which needed to be told. I’d found my niche in a genre known as Dark Contemporary Fantasy and the rest is, as they say, literary history.

About Suicide Forest:

“Surprisingly restrained… An understated horror story that will remind readers what chattering teeth sound like” – Kirkus Reviews

Just outside of Tokyo lies Aokigahara, a vast forest and one of the most beautiful wilderness areas in Japan…and also the most infamous spot to commit suicide in the world. Legend has it that the spirits of those many suicides are still roaming, haunting deep in the ancient woods.

When bad weather prevents a group of friends from climbing neighboring Mt. Fuji, they decide to spend the night camping in Aokigahara. But they get more than they bargained for when one of them is found hanged in the morning—and they realize there might be some truth to the legends after all.

Maria Hardin, a feminine Heathcliff, not the fluffy comic cat, but Emily Bronte’s dark skinned romantic gypsy of the heathery moors, writes books of lost loves. Though life, which hangs on fragile tendrils to those folks in the midst of fate’s cruelty, sometimes groans with grimness, Maria’s books always give you happy endings.

No Yorkshire scenes but bayous and dunes; wiregrass and wild blackberries; no demons, but a lusty ghost or two, populate each novel. But Woe does twine a bit of tragedy until Maria’s words spins another ethereal pirouette. Happily-ever-after is her promise to readers.

About Hot Dreams by Rachelle Chase:

Is it better to live out the best fantasy of your life, knowing it will end, than not to have had it at all?

Born with a port-wine stain birthmark covering part of her face, then the victim of a cruel joke the night her daughter Brianna was conceived, Tina Edwards is done with romantic fantasies. Caring for nine-year-old Brianna and running her business, Plants Alive, are all she needs.

Until she enters Hot Dreams–a male dance company that caters to women. As she stares at the photos dotting CEO Johnny Guerra’s desk, she can’t help but wonder and fantasize about what the real Johnny is like.

But thirteen years ago, the “real” Johnny died when he caused the death of his wife and unborn child. Now, he prefers to be viewed–and to view a woman–as an object. Until he meets Tina and accepts her challenge for a performance like no other.

One simple dance . . . one simple fantasy . . . and unexpected consequences force them to confront the one real thing they’ve been hiding from: Love.
