Vanished  

COVER_Vanished_smAbout Vanished:

Thought he didn’t want me. I couldn’t have been more wrong.

Joey Mason
Once upon a time we were supposed to be together. He was the mysterious outsider, and I fell in love with him.
He wasn’t a jock, he wasn’t the most popular guy in school, but he saw me for who I really was — for who I really am.
But we never got a chance to explore our love. He ran away from home, and didn’t even say goodbye.
And he was gone for six years.
Six years I spent wondering where he was, whether I’d ever see him again.
There was nothing left to do but move on, move on, but not forget.

I got a boyfriend, Ian, and he’s ready to propose, but I’m not sure I want him to…
I have a job at a local bar, but I put my dreams of painting and travel aside…
I did my best to put Joey out of my mind…

I was about to get my perfect life.
Then Joey showed up, older, hot as hell, and hiding a dark secret.
And I realized I didn’t want perfect. I wanted him.

Vanished is a full-length, standalone bad boy/second chance romance with a MYSTERIOUS ALPHA-MALE, heart melting romance, and a HEA!

Set against a palette of relentless grey winter, eventually the breadcrumbs lead him to the Gingerbread House, the source of her childhood nightmares and the reason for her disappearance. But even Thomas’s creative mind could not have imagined the world of pain he is about to uncover.
In the heart of a family void of humanity, how do you solve the secrets of childhood nightmares when all your dreams are of monsters and dragons? And where do you hide when those dreams become reality?

Author Bio:
I am an Oxford based artist/writer, who in the last couple of years, has become drawn to the medium of writing.

After working for many years as a fine artist, I stumbled upon an idea for promoting my art which involved characters within a story based setting. With the Scandinavian thriller as my model, my idea suddenly took on a life of its own.

As the book took shape, I rediscovered some forgotten memories as I looked deeper into the characters, adding my own dark past to bring the story to life. But this time, as I revisited those memories, I found to my surprise that it was more therapeutic than uncomfortable.

After taking two years to complete the book, I can now say that I am completely hooked on my new medium.

College-bound Lexi Adams leads no ordinary life. Premonitions dictate her every move, compelling her to rescue strangers day and night. After years of self-sacrifice, she decides to ignore one, but innocent people die. Her punishment arrives when a premonition depicts her own death and she must decide the fate of her future.

Further complications arise when a series of strange illnesses and murders devastate her small town, and her co-worker, Jessica Nelson, insists Lexi can help. According to Jessica, everyone is born with an inner energy called Essence. Only a select few, Amethysts, can control Essence and heal people. Jessica claims to be an Amethyst and asks Lexi to join her and a group of her friends as they track the murderers. Except Lexi discovers Jessica’s friends harbor extraordinary abilities and a hidden agenda, and she questions why they have connections with the Ray-pacs – the sadistic killers who are preying on human Essence.

Ultimately, Lexi must decide if life, not death, equals salvation. And if so, is she willing to make sacrifices and help eradicate the Ray-pacs?

Author Bio:
I’m a full time author living in Victoria, British Columbia. I grew up on Dragonlance and probably spent way too much time playing video and role-playing games (particularly Rifts and AD&D). Much of my youth was spent exploring dungeons. Now my cat likes to keep watch from a customized Lego castle near my desk. My favorite sagas are Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Game of Thrones.

I love to bike camp with my amazing wife, who is my biggest supporter. I play tennis, leisure chess, and once wanted to become a pilot. When I was a kid, I dreamed I could jump off the ground and fly. My head was in the clouds, and in some ways, still is.

The Arinthian Line is my first series, currently consisting of ARCANE, RIVEN, VALOR, and CLASH. It was inspired by youthful adventures as a boy scout. Each of the books was a #1 Amazon Fantasy Coming-of-age bestseller at one time or another.

Oh, I was also a musician at one time, having released three albums with my industrial-rock music project Tribal Machine, including the full-length concept album The Orwellian Night. One of my songs can be heard in the feature-length film The Gene Generation.

I know how lucky I am to be a full time author. I am grateful for it every day.

Colony One Mars  

COM-new-2About Colony One Mars:

Three years later, a new mission sets down on the planet surface to investigate what remains of the derelict site. But, it’s not long before they realise the colony is not as lifeless as everyone thought. Someone is still alive — hiding out somewhere.

Yet, before they can find the elusive colonist a strange illness starts to affect the crew. Pressure now mounts on Biologist, Dr. Jann Malbec, to locate the source of the illness and find a way to fight it. However, as she investigates she begins to suspect a dark and deadly secret lurking within the colony. A secret that threatens not just the crew but the entire population of Earth.

With limited resources and time running out, they must find some answers and find them fast. Because if they don’t, none of them will ever see home again.

Author Bio:
G. M. Kilby grew up on a diet of Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clark and Frank Herbert. This developed into a taste for Ian M. Banks, Stephen R. Donaldson and everything ever written by Michael Creighton.

Understandable then, that he should choose science fiction as his weapon of choice when entering into the storytelling fray .

REACTION is his first novel and is very much in the ‘old school’ technothriller style. Whereas, COLONY ONE MARS, is more of a pure scifi feast, and is his first book in the Colony Mars series.

He lives in the city of Dublin, Ireland, in the same neighbourhood as Bram Stoker. And can be sometimes seen tapping away on a small laptop in Bram’s Cafe, with his dog Loki.



Rooter  

Rooter-ebook-cover-smallAbout Rooter:

At twenty one, Sophie has already endured enough pain and heartache to last two lifetimes. All she wants to do is create a normal, comfortable life for herself. She goes to college, works part-time, and leads a quiet, ordinary routine.

So why is she so obsessed with Rooter, the alleged “vicious criminal” next door? She watches as he comes and goes. Watches him play with his pit bull. Watches him hang out in his backyard with other alleged criminals.

When Sophie’s roommate, Mike, attacks her in a fit of jealous rage, Rooter comes to her rescue. Sophie quickly falls for Rooter, but he makes it clear she’s better off without him. He’s the worst kind of guy—Dangerous—and she’s a good girl.

When she’s attacked yet again, Rooter swoops in and saves her and finally admits his feelings for her. They embark on a passionate romance, but his secrecy, controlling tendencies, and crazy ex-friend-with-benefits threaten to tear them apart.

Just when it seems things can’t get any worse, Sophie is accused of a brutal crime that pits Rooter against her. When Mike’s infatuation turns into a deadly obsession, will he be there to save her?

Author Bio:
Teiran is obsessed with the written word. When she’s not writing, she’s reading. She can get so lost in a story, be it one of her own or someone else’s, that she won’t even break away to eat, drink, or sleep. By the time she gets up from a story, she’s usually dizzy from low blood sugar and suffering blurred vision.

Whenever she’s not writing or reading, you will find her trying my hand at landscape photography, dabbling in abstract painting, and spending time with her husband, Scott, and their four legged child, Lada.
