About A Perfect Curse:

WHO NEEDS A PRINCE, WHEN YOU’VE GOT A HUNTSMAN?

Nevara Wood is desperate to change her life. Plagued by shifting sight, which skews her normal vision and shows her disturbing visions, she’s always felt odd and unlovable. And she greatly wants to be loved-especially by Mark Dimas Alvaro, the man she has hero-worshiped since the day he saved her life. Her only chance at happiness lies in breaking the curse that afflicts her-and all clues to the source of her torment point to a town in Southern Spain. Unfortunately, her every attempt to travel to that war-ravaged continent is impeded by the very man whose love she wants to win . . .

Mark Dimas Alvaro is the last in a line of wizards charged by his ancestor, a magical huntsman, to secretly protect Nevara’s family. But Mark chafes at his role because it has cost him everyone he loves, most recently his beloved brother. He is certain that if Nevara would simply stay in England and not create any unnecessary magical waves, they could both survive for another generation. Instead, his stubborn charge’s persistent investigation into her past lands Nevara in imminent danger. Mark instantly prepares to wage a magical war to protect the woman he has sworn to protect . . . and has come to deeply love.

But Nevara’s innocent probing has awoken an ancient evil that has held a grudge against her charmed family for three centuries. And it will do everything in its power to ensure that this princess never gets to live happily ever after . . .

About Humanesque:

With only hours to go before the robot Skitz is taken out of her custody and moved to market testing, behaviorist Paula Kingsley begins to suspect that the machine she’d been charged to nurture developmentally has chanced into self-awareness. Excited by the Skitz’s nervous “twitching” whenever the machine is placed in dangerous situations, Paula and her colleague Philip engage in a series of increasingly unorthodox experiments meant to demonstrate Skitz’s awareness by capitalizing on his apparent fear of bodily harm. Yet, despite Skitz’s emotionally jarring reactions to their various tests, Paula and Philip are forced to consider the possibility that Skitz’s humanesque gesticulations are simply a curious side-effect of his underlying hazard avoidance algorithm. “Humanesque” asks the question: If modern science cannot properly account for human consciousness, how could it possibly be expected to recognize the advent of artificial consciousness?”

About The Heart’s Journey Home by Nikki Jackson:

It’s summer vacation, and all seventeen-year-old Tori Logan wants to do is hang out with her two best friends, practice her mixed martial arts and go to FBI spy camp. Summer means freedom (mostly from adults) and Tori plans to fill every spare moment of her last summer before graduating from High School with all the fun things she and her best pals can come up with.
Tori, whose mom died of breast cancer when she was young, has always relied on her own strength to get by – especially because her Archeologist father tends to leave her behind with his live-in girlfriend while he gallivants around the world on digs. Thankfully, Tori can take care of herself. She knows exactly who she is and what she wants to do with her life. Her Lakota Sioux grandfather, a former Navy SEAL, trained Tori in self-defense from a young age. Now, as a teenager, Tori excels at mixed martial arts and the use of various weapons. During the summer she will be attending an FBI sponsored Summer Camp which she hopes will lead to her dream job – becoming an FBI serial killer profiler.
With her two best friends at her side, Tori believes she can handle anything. And with summer vacation stretching before them, the trio plans to find plenty of adventure.
But while Tori is determined to be independent, life has other plans for this fierce young teen, and they include coming to grips with some hard – and surprising – truths about both her past and her future.

About Prison of Souls by Xander Gray:

High resolution surveillance footage clearly showed Joshua Briar walking onto the campus of Walton University in broad daylight and shooting neuroscience professor Edward McSorley.

The bullet ricocheted off a metal plate in McSorley’s head and struck an innocent college girl, killing her instantly.

The pundits called it the strangest murder ever recorded. The prosecutor called it an open and shut case. They were both right.

The only problem? Joshua was innocent.

Now, three years into his life sentence, Joshua experiences a powerful occipital-lobe seizure—wild hallucinations flash before his eyes, visions of McSorley conducting strange, frightening medical experiments on him.

McSorley vanishes from Walton University, and a strange new corrections officer named Slaven confronts Joshua with questions: Did you merge with the pivot? Are you working with the enemy?

A vast conspiracy has followed Joshua into prison, and soon he can’t tell the difference between his nightmares and reality.

FROM THE EDITOR

Fans of Wayward Pines take note: you’ll want to check this one out.

Haunting and surreal on one page, achingly wistful on the next, Prison of Souls is a powerful debut by Xander Gray. As Joshua Briar’s trip down the rabbit hole stretches deeper, he reaches the places where science and spirit intersect. The narrative’s questions are suspenseful and introspective by turns, including everything from “What is going on?” to “What does it mean to be human?”

Fascinating, harrowing, and thought-provoking, Prison of Souls is the sci-fi thriller you’ve been looking for.

I do work as a writer since a couple of years, but since now I wrote for the German market only, even hitting the Kindle-Top-Ten in my country.

FERROPOLIS is my first novel published in English language. “Kalte Berechnung” is the German title, published by dotbooks in 2012.

I always loved to play with language and it was an exciting experiment for me, to see, if I can do this in a foreign language too. I translated the novella myself, but got great help from Greg F. Gifune, who worked as a freelance-editor for me. In my opinion he made a huge difference for the book, putting “what the german girl wanted to say” into the right form. Now it comes along sharp as a bullet, and I recommend: Go and see for yourself!

Author Bio:
Lauren Hawkeye/ Lauren Jameson never imagined that she’d wind up telling stories for a living… though when she looks back, it’s easy to see that she’s the only one who is surprised. Always “the kid who read all the time”, Lauren made up stories about her favorite characters once she’d finished a book… and once spent an entire year narrating her own life internally. No, really. But where she was just plain odd before publication, now she can at least claim to have an artistic temperament.

Lauren lives in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta, Canada with her husband, toddler, pit bull and idiot cat, though they do not live in an igloo, nor do they drive a dogsled. In her nonexistent spare time Lauren can be found knitting, making soap, reading anything she can get her hands on, or sweating her way through spin class. She loves to hear from her readers!

About Jane by the Sea: Jane Austen’s Love Story:

Based on a true story: Jane Austen developed a deep mutual attachment to a man she met during a seaside family holiday. But almost no details are known of this man. Only that her sister was later to say that he was a man who was truly worthy of Jane.

This is the story of that pivotal encounter. It is written in Jane’s own voice, as closely as it could be captured. Not the gentle wit of her novels, but the sharp, blunt tongue that she used so freely in her candid letters to her sister.

At the same time, we will watch how her writer’s voice evolved; how she drew from the people and events in her life to create the masterpieces of Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility.

On sale for .99 through Sunday Sept. 20. Regular price 4.99.

About Arena Mode:

In his twenty-nine years, Matthew Moxon had done virtually nothing with his record-breaking IQ and unparalleled problem solving abilities. Until one morning, after a dangerous fall lands him in the emergency room, he discovers that a tumor is pressing against his brain.

Unable to afford experimental but potentially life-saving surgery, Moxon takes drastic action; he volunteers for Arena Mode: 2041’s most vicious sporting event, where thirteen superhumans fight in an urban combat zone for a multi-billion dollar prize.

Moxon is forced to battle opponents possessing ungodly speed, strength, and abilities once thought to exist only across the pages of superhero comics – and he’s armed with nothing more than his rapidly-diminishing brain cells.

With the odds stacked impossibly against him, Moxon fights to not only survive the wrath of the other competitors, but to unlock the mysteries buried within the Arena itself.
