Author Bio:
A native of the south, Glenn Trust was born in Columbus, Georgia in 1951, the first of five children.
His father’s work as a salesman filled his early years with moves from the banks of the Chattahoochee River in Georgia to Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Petersburg, Virginia and Baltimore, until finally returning to the Atlanta area in 1965. From then on, he remained a Georgian, going to school and growing up in the Atlanta area.
Varied work and life experiences have given him an appreciation for the virtues and faults of people at all levels of society.
He says about his work, “For the record, I love people, the humanity that populates the world. People are infinitely interesting, all of them. I may not like certain individuals and I may hate the things they do, but as a group, I am fascinated by people.
“I do work at trying to understand human strengths and frailties, and try above all else in writing to bring life and reality to the characters in my stories. The white hats the heroes wear are intentionally spotted and grayed by their own demons and struggles. The bad guys are not always misunderstood Robin Hoods. Sometimes they are just truly bad with no possibility of social redemption.
“In the end, the stories are fiction, about fictional people. I believe that through fiction, some of the greatest truths may be discussed and discovered about our humanity, or the lack of it.
“Finally, like real people, the characters I try to paint are not completely good and rarely completely evil. Like most of us, they lie somewhere in between.”
To date, Glenn Trust has authored eight novels including The Hunters series of mystery/suspense thrillers and the Blue Eyes mystery/romance series featuring the exploits of Alice Trent, a woman making her way in a difficult world.
The work he considers his most important is Dying Embers, a novel about friendship, coming of age and overcoming the societal failings of the past. It is set during the turbulent days of the 1960’s in the south during desegregation, a time that he personally experienced.
Lightning in the Clouds, a collection of short stories dealing with “end of life” events was published in February 2015. Others are planned.
While writing is his passion, he is also an avid RVer, walker, guitar player and reader, he resides with his wife in Nevada where they make the most of every opportunity to get outdoors and enjoy this beautiful world.

Early One Morning by Aubree Lane
About Early One Morning by Aubree Lane:
He was the dark haired deity with a salacious smile… he was the one the girls gossiped and giggled about for months… 2,600 miles away, Terence Javier didn’t have a clue his high school yearbook was being passed around an all-girl choir and that he had been voted, as one of the more experienced girls put it, the one she would ‘most likely do.’
Thirteen years later Marissa Crandall, while on a romantic island vacation celebrating her ten year wedding anniversary, is shocked and surprised to find their dive master was none other than her old high school crush. Seeing the chance to fulfill an old dream, Marissa sets out to kiss Terence.
Stuck in San Diego, dealing with unreasonable clients, and babysitting Marissa’s kids, a jealous Annie Harper catches the red-eye out of LAX wanting to intercept Terence and foil her best friend’s plans.
This envious act uncovers a scandalous affair, and in that one pivotal moment, none of their lives would ever be the same.

When the two finally meet in person, sparks fly. Their chemistry is beyond explosive, and emotions reach a boiling point. Their brief love affair ignited the fuse, but Paxton is shocked when his young son fans their fire. His sweet four-year-old boy immediately falls for the loving, meek, demurred woman in Alissa, and she starts to change both their lives. Then, she becomes their salvation – in ways no one could see coming.

Down Will Come Tiger
Tiger Shifters, Book 6
He’ll stop at nothing to get revenge…until he meets her.
Ten years ago, tiger shifter Joseph Bennett lost everything to a human serial killer. His only thoughts now are of revenge and death, his emotions shut down so he can stalk his prey. Then she appears in the dead of night and changes everything. Joseph hates the changes, hates the returning feelings, and most of all, he hates the woman who started it—even as he can’t stay away from her. She cracks him open, and after all these years, he has no idea what monster will emerge from his black soul. He only knows that keeping her safe matters.
Socialite Paige Williams has remained silent about her brother’s crimes for years. When she meets Joseph, she knows she can’t keep her secrets any longer. But going after her brother comes with huge risks, because if he catches her, she’s dead. Her only hope is the emotionless tiger shifter whose presence sooths her battered soul and helps her find her inner strength. She never expects to fall in love with him.
As a killer stalks them, passion ignites a fire between them, fierce and hot. And when the flames part, they’ll either emerge whole…or dead.
Note: This book can be read as a stand alone, but it does contain potential spoilers for Along Came a Tiger (Tiger Shifters 2). If you don’t like spoilers, please read Book 2 first. If you don’t mind spoilers, please enjoy Down Will Come Tiger now.

About One of the Few: A Marine Fighter Pilot’s Reconnaissance of the Christian Worldview by Jason B. Ladd:
Kindle e-book FREE Download November 10-12 only!
A US Marine fighter pilot explores life’s important questions as he prepares for combat, searches for truth, and wages spiritual warfare during his mission to become a better husband and father.
Jason B. Ladd grows up in a military family with loving parents but spends his young life filled with spiritual apathy.
Ladd enters the US Marine Corps, becomes a fighter pilot, and sees combat in Iraq before life events align to nudge him into profound spiritual inquiry. Digging deep into his quest for truth, he realizes the art and science of fighter pilot fundamentals can help him on his journey.
Filled with stories that contrast his spiritual apathy with his post-Christian worldview passion, One of the Few is the compelling life story of a spiritual seeker engaged in a thrilling profession combined with a strong, reasonable defense of Christianity.
For fans of Ravi Zacharias, Lee Strobel, and Frank Turek, Ladd’s remarkable journey shares the transformative power of faith during a time when belief in God is dismissed and religious liberty in the military is attacked.
(From the back cover)
A Marine fighter pilot embarks on the greatest mission of all: the pursuit of truth.
Jason B. Ladd realizes that while he’s ready to defend his country, he is unprepared for his most important decisions as a husband and father.
In One of the Few, Ladd pulls from his extensive military training to offer a compelling defense of the Christian faith as he warns seekers to avoid spiritual apathy and offers effective Christian tactics for withstanding spiritual attacks.
Filled with deeply personal stories, this compelling book comes directly from the spirit of a man with the soul of a marine, the mind of a fighter, the heart of a father, and a commitment to Christ.

The Untold Unlocking Of Secrets
About The Untold Unlocking Of Secrets:
“In an alternate reality I would probably be a murderer, and I feel no shame in saying I would be happy.” – The voice inside my head.
James was the Gullible child who practically grew up without a mother or father, letting his curiosity guide him.
Obsessed and hooked on sex by the age of eight before knowing what it was.
He received no affection from his father, who left Haiti before he was born, or his mother, whom he lived with but never took the time to know him. It’s no wonder he let his curiosity guide him, at least he got answers when he had questions, even if they weren’t always right.
As he got older, his smile became his greatest weapon. No one would ever think to accuse him of having something to hide if he could fake a smile better than a real one.
The Untold is an unusual and entertaining story to remember. Penetrating deep into the darkest and most disturbing corners of the Mind. James takes you inside the head of a boy who plays the role of his own father and mother and shows you what the outcome of finding things out on his own lead to.

Salem’s Daughters
Following the loss of their promising careers, Bob and Debbie Stevens embark upon opening a bed and breakfast. Their savings depleted and desperate for cash, Bob reluctantly allows Debbie’s meddling grandparents to co-sign a three million dollar loan. They purchase a burned down property on twenty five acres in scenic rural southern Michigan and builds Murcat Manor.
Rumors of curses and ghosts haunt the property’s reputation. But the history of two previous houses burning to the ground killing nineteen people do not deter Bob and Debbie from their dream: raising a family while earning a living with one of the few bed and breakfasts in the entire region.
During construction, the Stevens adopt thirteen kittens found in the rubble of the property. The cats are possessed by disembodied souls from daughters of witches put to death during the Salem Witch Trials. Each cat possesses a unique ability, and together they bring terror and death to the guests of Murcat Manor.
With each killing bringing more cancellations, Bob has to get creative. Burdened with massive debt, he devises inventive ways to allure new guests in order to keep up the payments. But the malevolent felines have five previous lives, spanning four centuries, of deviltry and murdering practice to draw on. Their vast experience now enhanced with the use of modern technology, they devise cagey ways to keep killing, including leaving evidence at the scene for detectives to believe Bob and Debbie are the perpetrators.

A Sinister Slice of Murder
About A Sinister Slice of Murder:
Jessie Delacroix leaves the hustle and hassle of a new career as an assistant investigator for a law firm in Savannah to return to her roots in the small tourist town of Whispering Pines. The 25-year-old dynamo is not prepared for the ghosts who await her there in the haunted Bed & Breakfast and Tea Room that she inherited and now must operate.
Not only does she find the spirits of those she loved long ago, but a sinister murder occurs just one day after her arrival. Is this a sign of malicious spirits…or foul play of another sort? The police are stumped, so it’s up to Jessie, and her little beagle, Arthur, to uncover the surprising answer – with a little help from her supernatural Granny and a mystical pawnbroker.
Join Jessie, Arthur, Carlo the short-tempered but lovable chef, Sheriff Muldoon, and a host of other characters as they explore the dark secrets of the Haunted Inn and the ghostly town of Whispering Pines.
You’ll find fun, humor, and an intriguing and detailed mystery with all the clues meticulously laid out, but hidden in plain sight. Only the best sleuths, like Jessie Delacroix, can pick them up. Can you solve the murder and predict the final twist?

The Love of a Rake by Linda Rae Sande
About The Love of a Rake by Linda Rae Sande:
Everyone has plans … until something—or someone—comes along to change them.
At the age of thirty-five, Randall Roderick, Marquess of Reading, decides it’s time to trade in his life as the ‘Rake of Reading’ for the life of a married man. Trouble is, his reputation precedes him, and he’s not particularly attracted to the milkwater misses who make up the eligible ladies of the ton.
His counterpart, Charles Goodwin, Earl of Wakefield, is only twenty-five and enjoys his life as a rake far too much to consider marriage. Will a visiting prostitute change his mind on the matter, though? If only because he wants to do the right thing?
When the Earl of Norwick’s skittish cousin, Constance, meets Randall in the park, she’s intrigued by the gentleman she thinks is merely a well-to-do cit with a fascination for horse racing, but she’s only in London to find out what’s become of her inheritance. She’s determined to return to her home and horses in Sussex to live the life of an independent woman.
Her counterpart, Eleanor Merriweather, is in London for her come-out with a dream to marry her perfect knight, but having been duped by a brothel’s madame upon her arrival, she suddenly finds herself completely and thoroughly ruined.
When the lives of these four are suddenly upended by their chance meetings, the events of two nights and two days will prove that it takes a bit of horse sense to get on the right track in “The Love of a Rake”.

Shadow of Danger (Book 1 C.O.R.E. Shadow Trilogy) by Kristine Mason
About Shadow of Danger (Book 1 C.O.R.E. Shadow Trilogy) by Kristine Mason:
Beware of what lurks in the shadows…
Four women have been found dead in the outskirts of a small Wisconsin town. The only witness, clairvoyant Celeste Risinski, observes these brutal murders through violent nightmares and hellish visions. The local sheriff, who believes in Celeste’s abilities and wants to rid their peaceful community of a killer, enlists the help of an old friend, Ian Scott, owner of a private criminal investigation agency, CORE. Because of Ian’s dark history with Celeste’s family, a history she knows nothing about, he sends his top criminalist, former FBI agent John Kain to investigate.
John doesn’t believe in Celeste’s mystic hocus-pocus, or in her visions of the murders. But just when he’s certain they’ve solved the crimes, with the use of science and evidence, more dead bodies are discovered. Could this somehow be the work of the same killer or were they dealing with a copycat? To catch a vicious murderer, the skeptical criminalist reluctantly turns to the sensual psychic for help. Yet with each step closer to finding the killer, John finds himself one step closer to losing his heart.

Intentional
FREE – November 10th – 14th
Award Winner! Best Sweet Romance eFestival of Words 2014
I know this has to stop. Something has to give. A person cannot die of a broken heart. Believe me, I know. I’ve been waiting–and it’s just not happening.
Newly engaged and deliriously happy, Mattie, a talented graphic designer, and Jeremy, a successful partner in a law firm, look forward to a lifetime of wedding bliss in their new home in Sedona, Arizona. But their perfect love story disintegrates when Mattie discovers evidence of Jeremy’s massive betrayal. Unable to face the memories that haunt her with every aching step, Mattie flees to Mercer Island, Washington to start over. Unfortunately, she can’t run away from the boundless pain as she struggles to make sense of the life she thought she knew – until she meets Cade.
Tattooed engineer by day, lead singer in a rock band at night, Cade has experienced his own brand of pain with the loss of his college sweetheart. He and Mattie instantly bond over their mutual heartbreak, and as their friendship deepens, it ignites a new flame within Mattie, soothing the constant heartache for her former fiancée.
Just when Mattie thinks she may have found another stab at happiness, Jeremy reenters her life, and with him, all the crushing memories. It’s soon clear, though, that the trauma from her past may not be quite what it first seemed. Will the truth bring closure and a new beginning – or will it mean the end of both relationships forever?
Readers will instantly be swept up in the saga of love and heartbreak that unfolds. Offering a rarely-before-seen glimpse into the heart and mind of a romantic villain, audiences will find a welcome reprieve from the typical romance novel.

MK has always been a voracious reader. After hitting a dry spell of reading material, she decided to write the kind of book she’d like to read. This resulted in the creation of her debut novel, Intentional. (Award for Best Sweet Romance – eFestival of Words- August 2014)
Unintentional, the second book in the series, is based on the life of one of the characters in Intentional (Cade – an engineer/rock star). Unintentional was written as a stand-alone book.
Breaking Braydon, another stand-alone book, is now available on Amazon. Taking Tiffany (A spin-off) is available by pre-order.
When she’s not writing novels, she likes to spend her free time traveling the world, splashing in mud puddles (She lives in Seattle, what can she say?), watching movies and reading (!)

Jackie Weger’s favorite thing to do in the universe after reading and writing is camping somewhere near water. A river, a bay, a creek, an estuary, a swamp–all appeal–and in a pinch even a drainage ditch if it’s home to crawfish and frogs. She lived two years in a tiny jungle village with a creek filled with wildlife only two dozen yards from her thatch-roofed bohio. A five minute walk took her to the Camito River where she swam, bathed and washed clothes. Jackie also enjoys visiting cities with fabulous museums, and even grander theatre. Some of her favorites: Montreal, NYC, London and Paris. Those cities top her list because of their excellent transportation–bus, tram, trolley or tube. But New Orleans and St. Augustine, Florida own special places in her heart–and of course, both have wonderful waterways. When a plot or a story will carry it, she always chooses a place with water flowing through it.
