About Ember Rising (The Elementals Book 1)by Dana Barksdale

In her first twenty years of life, Ember knew mayhem better than most. Traumatized and tortured as a child, she soothed the pain of her past by keeping a needle close at hand and everything else away. Her self-imposed solitude kept the memories at bay and the world safe from her deepest and darkest secret; she could manipulate fire. When Ember meets Reed however, secrecy is no longer an option. Reed is an Elemental, a person born with the remarkable ability to control one of the four elements found in Nature. Ember is surprised to discover she is the first known female in a world of all male Elementals with an unparalleled affinity for fire, and her family is being hunted by a madman. Faced with an almost insurmountable task, Ember must find her long-lost sisters before they fall victim to their enemy’s quest for immortality all the while learning control over the raging fire housed within her. Ember soon comes to realize with Reed by her side, anything is possible.

About The Juggling Act:

Now that her dating days are finally behind her, Claire is enjoying a blissful life with her new husband and baby boy. Gone are the drunken nights in impractical shoes, and Internet dates with men who lose their hair…and their pants.

Unfortunately, she’s discovering that life as a married, working mom isn’t turning out to be the perfect happily ever after she dreamed about. She adores her little boy, but her husband’s behavior is about to make him eligible for the Most Disappointing Spouse of the Year Award.

His unwillingness to help around the house and his slacker work ethic are frustrating enough, but the constant parade of beautiful, single women in his life has Claire in a constant state of distress. Didn’t she realize that the cute front man of a popular cover band would attract hot, young women with perfect cellulite-free legs? And whose idea was it to hire the curvy nanny with the sexy accent?

When an unexpected business trip pops up – with a super-hot, much-too-young former love interest, Claire’s own loyalty is put to the test. A publishing conference in Key West may be the ideal escape from her troubles, but will she be tempted by the forbidden in a town full of swingers and breakfast alcohol consumption? And why does everyone they meet think the business colleagues are on their honeymoon?

Scrambling to cover up innocent, but suspicious circumstances, the couple struggles with honesty, loyalty and what to share with each other. As they sink deeper into their marital gloom, will they find their way back to wedded bliss, or finally succumb to the enticement of new…and uncomplicated romance?

About The Special by J.E. Pendleton:

Be sure to visit https://youtu.be/CBaGsySuM48 to view the book trailer.

A call from a stranger leads me on a journey I could never have imagined. The caller said he had my uncle’s car. How could this be? My uncle died in WW II when his plane was shot down over the Bay of Biscay off the coast of England. After some questioning I realized I had the opportunity of a lifetime. An opportunity to learn a bit about the uncle I had heard about my entire life, an uncle who died 3 years before I was born, an uncle I had always wanted to know more about. I also was being given the gift of a car that had been built by this uncle’s own hands and the hands of those he had been close to in his final years. The real treasure was the bond I formed with a man and the incredible story he told. The story of my uncle, the building of the car, and the people they both loved.

The Special is a fact based novel; the story of family, love and trust in the face of worldwide catastrophe. In 1941 Billy Pendleton hitch-hiked to California to seek his fortune not knowing what the future held. After encouragement from his new found friend and landlord he is soon building an automobile to set speed records and rubbing elbows with some true legends of motor racing history. Into this heady world walked the woman that would change his life forever. As the car is built romance blooms and the world slips into a war that will touch every person on the planet.
“I can’t recommend this book highly enough,” HopUp Magazine. “First of all, the car on the cover has been in Hop Up, built by a friend of Hop Up; or you may have seen it at Lone Star Roundup.

Jim began to write the story of his ‘Special’ build…and the story got legs, became a smash of a first novel and God knows where it will lead. Don’t miss it: cars, lakes history all the right names of the prewar, wartime and immediate post war, a little bit of sex and intrigue and excellent development of characters and plots that, well, professional writers can do.”

“The book is set in 1941 San Diego and follows a young Texan as he builds a dry lakes hot rod before the term even existed. The car is built from scratch, with help and parts from legends such as Harry Miller, Fred Offenhauser, Frank Kurtis, and Tommy Lee, a future founder of the SCCA…It is a Great Read!” Corky Bell, BEGi’s Chief Engineer. http://www.bellengineering.net.

About Pistol Fanny’s Hank & Delilah:

Never fall in love with a bank robber.

Especially if she’s the one who robbed your bank, took you hostage, and dumped you unconscious at the local convenience store. And definitely not if you are the assistant district attorney of Tupelo, Mississippi.

This is the advice Hank Huckleberry Rivers would have given himself, back when he was a man who vowed to always walk on the right side of the law. The same law that had seemed sacrosanct ever since the day he and his friends watched as two men were murdered right below their tree house.

Falling in love with a dangerous criminal can have life-altering consequences, though. And when the past and the present meet head-on, Hank finds himself in more trouble than he ever bargained for. He must run to save his life, daring to find answers to the questions threatening his safety and his heart, as the killer below the tree house comes after Hank—and his pistol-wielding bank robber.

It’s a simple case of love in the first degree.

Author Bio:
Born and raised in New Orleans, Annie has a habit of shortening her words and telling long stories. She speaks with a southern flair and cooks with it too. At the tender age of twenty- one, she hitched up her wagons (took her first plane ride) and moved out west to the big shake (California). Her writing career began one sleepless night when she imagined a gorgeous woman and a man with maniacal hair floating above her like lightening bugs falling from the sky. Curious about them, their story, and why they were floating around in her head, she sat down and penned (typed) her first novel, Marigny Street. A dream come true for her, she hasn’t stopped writing since. She loves a damn good love story, always has, no matter what the genre. She is particularly moved by imperfect love that in its own unique way is perfect, the notion of love at first sight, soul mates, and things that are generally out of the norm. When she’s not writing she enjoys dabbling in photography and finding new, inspirational music to add to her collection. Deciding on a whim to hitch up those same wagons, Annie currently resides in Texas (where everything is bigger) with her husband, daughter, and their two peculiar dogs, Boudreaux and Tabasco (who, call her crazy, bark with an accent). For lagniappe (a little extra), a virtual cup of café au lait and beignets, please visit Annie’s website: www.annierosewelch.com She can also be found on Facebook & Twitter.

When thirteen-year-old Zanna migrates to the Middle East, she sees it not for its exotic beauty, religious diversity and archaeological splendour, but as a formidable life sentence. And she couldn’t be more correct. She too has become one of the anointed; a gifting that could cost her that which she treasures most. Life.

About Silver Wood Coven – The Complete Series Box Set by Hazel Hunter:

Templar Michael Charbon has been watching the young witch for months. Homeless, beautiful, and living in Central Park, she seems to charm everyone she meets. They shower her with kindness, and yet he never witnesses magic. Only when he rescues her from a rapist, does he understand why: Summer has no memory, not even of her real name. Though he barely resists her inexplicable pull on him, he would gladly break his vows to make her his own.

Magus Corps Major Troy Atwater is surprised to hear from Michael. But their long past together puts Michael’s word beyond doubt. Troy collects the beautiful, young witch from the Templar, before her strange attraction drives half of New York wild. A powerful warlock in his own right, Troy manages to veil her seductive appeal, so that he and the coven can help her. But a passionate bond quickly envelopes them that goes far beyond her charms.

For her part, Summer’s head is swimming. With barely a memory, she can hardly comprehend the ancient world of Wiccans and Templars. More than that she finds herself torn between two very different men. But as the extent of her powers reveal themselves and her deadly past returns in painful snippets, she finds that she isn’t meant to choose between Michael or Troy. She must have them both.

Morgan grew up in Alberta, Canada and fell in love with science fiction at an early age. The original Star Trek series was to become the foundation of a lifelong passion, but all the very best science fictions books added to that passion.

Though rather silly by today’s standards, Morgan was hooked. Acquiring a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Anthropology occupied Morgan’s academic mind, but the creative side needed release. The study of strange people in foreign places laid a great foundation for vivid writing in far away places with characters that have a psychological depth that brings these stories to life.

About Tunnel 6 by Steve Bartholomew:

When Geraldine Halloran arrived at the Central Pacific end of track in the winter of 1866, she was resolved not to be terrified. After all, she had a right to be there. She was hired on as a regular telegraph operator, though they thought they were hiring a man. She was the only other woman at Tunnel 6, except for Mrs. Strobridge, the superintendent’s wife. Tunnel 6 was said by some to be impossible. Certainly nothing like it had ever been done. It was to be a railroad tunnel linking California with Nevada, over 1600 feet long and dug through solid granite using black powder, nitroglycerin, and more than 10,000 Chinese laborers. Geraldine was to discover many things to terrify. There were explosions, landslides and blizzards. However there were some compensations. She got to run her own telegraph key, without being required to wear corsets. And then there was that nice, funny looking boy, Stetson Applegate, who she might, perhaps, fall in love with. And then a third woman showed up, a strange lady named Georgette Dupriest. Though she claimed to be writing a book, no one could quite understand why she was at a railroad camp. Georgette did seem quite taken by that nice gentleman, Mr. Asa Turner. Geraldine began to have second thoughts when it gradually became clear that someone was trying to sabotage the railroad. And also trying to kill Stetson Applegate.

REVIEWS: 5-star – Richard Sutton Vine Voice – Tunnel 6 is another of Steve Bartholomew’s extremely entertaining presentations of some of the more obscure chapters of California history. I’ve become a real fan, over the years and this book was almost read in a single period. His characters are well-revealed, and the pacing keeps the pages turning. The story focuses upon the railroad camps in the Sierras during the race to create a Transcontinental railway. A female telegrapher, a journalist, a surveyor and a corporate/confederate spy maneuver around each other in a delicate dance. Secrets passed may be truth or lies. Tunnel 6 is as full of compelling facts and historic color as his previous books. If you are a reader of historic American fiction, then by all means, add Tunnel 6 to your reading list.

5-Star Review L. Elkind: An interesting, fast paced read, that is hard to put down once started. A simple plot, with plenty of complexities, and a great deal of humor keep the reader entertained throughout. While humorous and light-hearted, there is a serious picture painted of the era, as the author painlessly threads historical glimpses of the times throughout the book. The mood is not always light-hearted and humorous, as several of the protagonists show their dark side and offer the reader an opportunity to play detective as well as analyst. My timing in reading this was excellent, finishing the book just prior to this season’s first episode of “Hell on Wheels.”

5-Star Review C. Lopez – This book was awesome! I loved the blending of history and story telling. The story had lots of suspense and I appreciated that the characters had their own points of view. I won’t spoil the ending but it was such a great twist! It was fast paced and I’m a pretty slow reader and I just couldn’t put it down. Definitely going to reread this.

About the author: Following a previous life, he has turned his attention to telling stories about the Old West during the 19th and early 20th centuries. He has discovered there are thousands of untold stories to be found in old newspapers, magazines, and sometimes even history books. The stories he writes are mostly made-up fiction, but then so are a lot of history books. He has learned that what people most value are not the bare bone facts of the past, but the stories we tell about them. Steve (whose friends mostly refer to him as “Bart”) derives his idea from listening to people, walking around old neighborhoods, and a lot of reading. As for his previous life, he had an undistinguished career in civil service. His first actual job was in the U.S. Army. Someday he may write a book titled “All I Need to Know I learned in the Army.” He now lives in a rural part of northern California, where he likes to listen to folks and look at trees.

About Lucifer’s Son (The Temptation Chronicles, Book 1):

. Does the Devil exist? Is there really a fallen angel named Lucifer? Are the temptations that beset mankind the products of an evil Satan? Are the fires of Hell a reality? And your answers to these questions are:_____? Lucifer’s Son is a series of temptation, of good vs evil and explores real terror as Russia’s Master of Horror Sergey Mavrodi introduces us to his world… the world of angels and devils, of Lucifer and Lucifer’s son, the world of temptation and seduction in his latest masterpiece of deviltry and suspense. In a world of horror and fear that is almost too realistic to be fiction, Mavrodi’s characters burst forth from the pages, come alive and open up their innermost beings… dark –sometimes vile – revelations that will shock and astound the reader, who–while filled with fear and anxiety–will be unable to put LUCIFER’S SON down until the last terrifying climax.

“…deliciously creepy explorations of the macabre.” Kirkus Reviews

Author Bio:
Sergei Panteleevich Mavrodi was born on August 11, 1955 in Moscow, Russia, where he graduated from both: school # 35 and Serov V.A. art school # 1, simultaneously.

He was a multiple winner of the most prestigious school Olympiads in physics and mathematics, champion of Moscow in combat Sambo in the absolute weight category with his own weight of 62 kg. Throughout his career he did not lose a single fight.

Furthermore, he graduated from the Moscow Institute of electronic engineering, receiving a degree in “artificial intelligence”.

After the graduation he experimented with a lot of professions, thus his latest job was a night watchman of “Sviblovo” metro station.

In 1989, upon the occurrence of the thaw period he created MMM cooperative and soon became one of the most famous and successful businessmen of Russia.

In the year 1993 he was the only one who openly opposed the privatization that started in those times, saying that it was a real robbery of the country, and that he would spare all efforts to prevent it. In the same year, on the basis of the cooperative he created the joint-stock company MMM. The plan was simple: to accumulate people’s money, buy up all state property on the money auctions held at that moment, and distribute among the shareholders. Less than six months MMM encompassed already about 15 million members, and Mavrodi himself controlled more than one third of the country’s budget.

At that point, he was arrested on a completely absurd charge of tax evasion (the criminal case later fell to pieces), and all cash budget of the company was seized and disappeared to an undisclosed location. In particular, only from the head office of MMM authorities took out 17 truckloads of money.

Straight from prison Mavrodi registered as a candidate for Deputy in the State Duma of the Russian Federation at the special election in one of the districts. In this regard he was released. He easily won election with a huge margin and became Deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation. After a year on almost-unanimous decision of deputies he was stripped of his deputy powers (the first case in the history of Russia).
In 2003 Mavrodi was arrested again and placed in the federal special prison #99/1, the gloomiest and obscure institution of modern Russia. Sharing his cell with professional killers, maniacs, terrorists and criminal lords, he went on 15 hunger strikes (one of them was dry and lasted for 8 days) and countless punishment cells (he was even released from the disciplinary cell).

In the year 2007 Mavrodi was released.

The novel “Lucifer’s Son” was written by Sergei Mavrodi while in the federal special prison #99/1.

Eternal Vigilance starts with being forewarned.

Josh Mundi has finally fulfilled his grandfather Felix’s wish to find the NRG. The Aktel is all and more Josh ever could’ve imagined:

Life has meaning, definition and purpose.

Dortmund and Bruce know the Akashic Key: The Tablet of Destinies is crucial to their plans and vital for the Illuminati’s goal of global control, however, they now seem to have other motives and are determined to make sure nothing stands in their way.

To Nicholas Manly, the CEO of the powerful Wall Street firm: Sack-Pillage, Lustre & Lucre; Dortmund’s role is clear: take action on the NRG to ensure the Illuminati’s path to world domination is absolute and irreversible.

The New World Order will herald a new beginning with Manly’s global organization at the forefront of change; so as to impose upon the world their millennia old quest of a:

New World Order shaped by their One World Government reducing 90% of the human population to either eradication or social engineered slavery.

But will it be that simple?

As Dortmund has yet to discover: the Aktel’s ancient origins and power may lead to a major dilemma for both him and the Illuminati of galactic proportions.

Will this new series of events be exactly what Josh needs to stop the Illuminati’s plans or, will it lead to greater problems that even he will be powerless to stop?
