About The Sound of the Stones:

The ancient book about the past holds the future. Frankie is the key.

She doesn’t remember stopping at the used bookstore, but there she stands as if drawn by an unseen force. Anticipation wraps around her like a cocoon. When she opens the door, the wind nudges her through, and expectancy turns to purpose. The man inside, and the book he offers, changes everything. Unusual things happen when she begins to read:

In a time long forgotten, people are held captive by half human creatures. Ashra holds a secret close to her heart, and must discover the purpose of her gift before the oppressed human race is destroyed. An unlikely ally comes to her aid. Strangers bring her a message from a far off land. Ashra and her band of misfits set off in search of answers. Together, they find love, uncover mysteries from the past, face ever present danger, and hone powers they never knew they had.

Frankie and Ashra are separated by millennia, by fiction and reality, but in the end the barrier shatters.

About Lethal Lawyers by Dale Manolakas:

TOP 100 LEGAL THRILLER! ~~eBOOK ONLY $2.99 & PAPERBACK AT COST~~
Infighting, carnage, and sexual favors are the real rule of law at the Los Angeles law firm of Thorne & Chase! Complex characters immerse you in the cutthroat culture of big money law firms—firms where partners and associates must win at all costs. They cannibalize each other battling for money, power, love, clients, and ultimately their own survival. With blue-collar idealism and onerous student loans, first-year associate Sophia Christopoulos covets the firm’s money and power. But her new friendships, love, and success come with the shocking price of disillusionment, murder, and betrayal. When Sophia is hurled into a murder investigation, she is torn between ethics and firm politics, as well as love and truth. Fighting to save her career and life, she becomes the star witness—and then a target.
5-STAR REVIEWS! “Warning – don’t start reading until you have time!” “Author Dale E. Manolakas delivers with fully-realized characters who explode off the page. Visceral. Sensual. Alive. Highly recommended.” “A strong, scathingly entertaining commentary on the Los Angeles legal community. Keeps the reader guessing until the end.” “Wow! Powerful look into the law business!”

Author Bio:
TOP 100 AMAZON BEST SELLER’S RANK FOR MULTIPLE BOOKS

After a life time of writing poetry, books, nonfiction, and legal documents, it was author Ray Bradbury’s friendship and encouragement that finally inspired Dale E. Manolakas to pursue writing as a career. He taught her that the characters wrote the book–she didn’t. Raised just outside Los Angeles by a surgeon father and a homemaker-author mother, Dale E. Manolakas had always aspired to an acting career, but also had to make a living.

Dale E. Manolakas earned her B.A. from the University of California at Los Angeles, and M.A., M.S., Ph.D. and J.D. degrees from the University of Southern California. She is a member of the California Bar, had the privilege of clerking for The Honorable Arthur L. Alarcón at the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, was a litigator in two major Los Angeles law firms, and a senior appellate attorney at the California Court of Appeals, as well as an Administrative Law Judge.

Before that she was a teacher, primarily at the high school, adult school, and university levels, and holds a public administrative services credential. In addition, she has pursued her passion for acting, primarily on the stage, but also in film and television. She is a member of both Actors’ Equity and SAG-AFTRA. She also has raised three very independent daughters and lives with her husband, a retired attorney, in an otherwise animal-free environment in California.

About A Rake’s Reward:

A treasure lost…
American Sara Whately came to England with a single goal: recover a long-lost family treasure. Her father had long ago renounced his title and abandoned his country, but desperate financial straits call for desperate measures. Gaining access won’t be easy. The jewels are hidden on an estate Sara’s grandfather lost long ago in an unlucky turn of the cards. And then there’s the vexing, villainous, valiant Viscount Reath…
A jewel of a woman…
Sinclair Stratton, Lord Reath has always gotten everything he wants—money, privilege, and woman. But after ten years in India, he’s returned to England, ready to make amends for his youthful follies. He plans to return his ill-gotten estate to its rightful owner, but the man is impossible to find. And despite still being one of the most sought after rakes in town, the bold American beauty he keeps encountering seems to be immune to his charms and dashing good looks.
While Sara has promised to not just search for her grandfather’s jewels, but make an attempt at fitting into society, it might just be that Viscount Reath is the treasure she actually needs.

About Lexicon Chase: Scrolls of the Harlequin by Jonathan Fore:

For Lexicon Chase a normal day means being shuttled between a vapid squad of bullies at school and her grandmother’s comforting, but still weary bungalow. A great day would mean being invisible to all concerned, but on this day, her grandmother presents her with the chance to start somewhere new, the key to an amazing dream kingdom called Everhope–a world filled with regency and with promise.

However as she settles into her surroundings, the idyllic realm feels ever more remote as an ancient curse looming over the land grows even more powerful, and a kingdom-wide conspiracy demands that her rule must end, by murder or marriage, to save the kingdom from complete destruction. 

Lexicon rallies her forces of Good to confront the dangers and secrets of a magical world and challenge the scheme to see her rule end before it even begins.

Author Bio:
Navy Veteran BM3 Jonathan Fore is familiar with our country’s tormentors, but the soul-crushing conflicts the youth of our nation face from the ‘tormentors within’, as well as the birth of his only daughter, inspired him to create a relevant heroine for young girls in the form of Lexicon Chase.

His first professional short story, “Mid Watch” sold in 2004 to The PowWow Paper. This was to precede a number of short stories, thesis, and even poetry publishing credits over the next two years with periodicals such as The Storyteller, Events Quarterly, Crime and Suspense Magazine and Dystopia Magazine. In 2006, his short story, “Undone”, was nominated for a PushCart Prize by Storyteller Magazine.
