Hazedonya
Zeuhks Voldstrin is the only person in his class who can see a person’s past by touching one of their belongings. He tends to do that often when his Physics class bores him. Not to mention the fact that Zeuhks can feel the racing emotions of those who surround him. That simply annoys him to the extremity. However, there is a reason Zeuhks has such eerie gifts, and the reason is called Hazedonya.
Zeuhks is originally from Hazedonya, a land that was founded by people with special powers much like his own during the medieval period in England. Only now Hazedonya is a different place, a dark land dominated by the evil Queen Barbenia Voldstrin. Despite her classification, Zeuhks is no fan of his crazy mother.
Soon rumors have it that Andromeda Baranova (the rightful heir to throne) has been hidden in the soul dimension. When Barbenia discovers the rumors to be true, she orders Zeuhks to track down the girl and discover her powers before finally terminating her.
Forced into a prestigious boarding school in England, Zeuhks experiences the soul world of technology and societal difference. Yet, Zeuhks finds himself experiencing something much worse in his perception: a magnetic attraction to his family’s enemy. Andromeda, unaware of Hazedonya’s existence, is intelligent and funny and enables Zeuhks to feel emotions for himself. Fighting to resist the bond that slowly forms between them, Zeuhks is faced with the dilemma of detaching himself from the dark society surrounding his family or choosing to finally alienate himself with it forever.

HEROINE BY A.S. BOND
HEROINE by A.S. Bond (A Brooke Kinley Adventures Novella)
In this short prequel to the “mind-blowing” bestseller PATRIOT, HEROINE introduces investigative reporter Brooke Kinley as a young woman. While paddling in their canoe in northern Minnesota, Brooke and her brother rescue a trafficked Russian child. But will the price of Brooke’s heroism be her own life?
HEROINE is an action-packed novella that will appeal to anyone who enjoys adventure, mystery or crime, as well as Brooke’s many fans!
Praise for PATRIOT, now an award-winning bestseller and Finalist at the 2015 Next Generation Indie Book Awards, 2015:
“UNSTOPPABLE thriller…I don’t believe I took a breath the entire time. As a thriller/political espionage aficionado, I rank PATRIOT in the pantheon of the BEST.”
Mallory Heart Reviews.
“A brilliantly gripping novel…Patriot is a real page turner and will have you to gasping to the last page.”Jeremy Craddock, The Mid Cheshire Guardian Newspaper
“Patriot is Brooke Kinley’s first outing and I’m already picturing her adventures on the big screen.” Crime Thriller Hound

Author Bio:
A.S Bond is an internationally acclaimed travel writer and journalist. As the author of seven previously published books, her own adventures have taken her around the world, from the cloud forests of Central America to D.C.’s corridors of power.
PATRIOT, the first in the Brooke Kinley Adventures series, was a bestseller in both the USA and the UK and won several awards, including FINALIST in Next Generation Indie Book Awards, 2015 and
One of Shelf Unbound Media’s ‘Notable Books 2014’.
When writing Patriot, A.S. Bond drew on her experience of leading an award-winning canoe expedition in Labrador, later the subject of Lost Lands, Forgotten Stories; A Woman’s Journey to the Heart of Labrador published by HarperCollins in North America and Eye Books in the UK (written under the name Alexandra Pratt). This gives Patriot a sense of ‘realness’ that draws readers deeply into the story. And like her heroine Brooke Kinley, Bond has also lived in Washington D.C. and worked as a journalist.
“When I sat down to write my adventure thriller Patriot the old advice ‘write what you know’ came to mind. I realised what I knew was wilderness survival. The first in my new series of ‘Brooke Kinley Adventures’, my novel is, in part, based on my canoe expedition in a remote part of Canada, where I travelled with just a First Nations guide through some of the harshest country in North America.”
Love’s Look @ Ozark Life
About Love’s Look @ Ozark Life:
Love’s Look @ Ozark Life is a compendium of stories providing a taste of his varied literary style. Novels Blue Hole and the sequel River’s Edge have received (600) five star reviews and are enjoyed by all ages.
AMAZON KINDLE —Featured Author Review— Rolland Love “Love’s writing transfigures his stories into a series of fantastic tales Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer could have only dreamed of.”
LOVE’s STORIES:
FISH FRY: Back in the day in rural America there would be celebrations where the residents, dogs included, would turn out for a picnic in the town square. Fish Fry is a story about a dad, uncle and a couple of brothers who are responsible for catching enough fish to feed one hundred residents celebrating 100 years of the towns survival though times good and bad. Fiddle music, square dancing, storytelling, pitching horse shoes and lots of laughter along with homemade ice cream is the order of the day. The story is enjoyed by all ages who want to experience the pure joy of living by those growing up in a simpler time.
A DOG’S BEST FRIEND IS FOOD: “Look at that poor old hound dog,” Sylvester said to his brother Lew when Lucky got up from the dusty street in front of the pool hall and crippled off to lay in the shade of a Hickory nut tree.
MY AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD TRACKER: There’s no doubt about which creature can run fastest a turkey or a dog.
DEATH IN A CAVE: Boys will be boys … Three friends decide to explore a cave in the Ozark Mountains where years earlier a couple of fellas went inside and never again saw the light of day. They were forbidden from exploring the cave so they told their parents they were going fishing. Caves are spooky because of screeching fluttering bats, pitch black darkness and tight crawl spaces. Add a couple of bodies and you’ve got a scary scene.
HILLBILLIES ARE SMARTER THAN YOU THINK! PART’s 1, 2 & 3 prej·u·dice A preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience. I wrote this series because of something my dad told me years ago after I heard someone making fun of Hillbillies. He said, “People who look down on others because they think that they are better than someone else are sadly mistaken. Fact is, the simple life us country folks live might be a best kept secret in the country.”
I could go into a long winded explanation about what’s wrong with making fun of Hillbillies and other ethnic groups, but the video link below featuring “greed” as the main character pretty much says it all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joh5LWr9Chs
COMMENTARY ON SOCIAL NETWORKING: Love wrote this story after a friends grandson was killed by a texting driver. He used a humming bird as a primary source so as not to sound too maudlin. The Kansas City Star and others have published the commentary.
BUYING STUFF: Love wrote a comedy skit for a radio station about compulsive buying and a device he created called a credit card shield. The average American household with at least one credit card has over $15,000 in credit-card debt. “All I want is a little more than I’ve already got and I’ll be happy.”
SPEAKING OF FISH: A story about the life of a 100 pound catfish living in the Missouri River. The photo of the fish is worth a thousand words.
Plus, there is an assortment of information including a couple of interviews where Love talks about what it’s like growing up in the Ozarks Mountains helping his uncle run a fishing camp when I was a kid.
Most of the novels and short stories in the series are set in the Ozark Mountains and a trademark of Love’s stories is they may start scary and strange sometimes but they always end well.

Vanadium Dark
A terrible disaster befalls the United States. It must never be repeated. And so, tomorrow’s light shines in a thousand million million eyes.
Invisible nanobot-based cameras now blanket the cities and the skies, recording data and transmitting it to the Pentagon. Every single event: recorded. Every single incident: captured. It’s the ultimate law enforcement tool, a security feed that spans coast to coast.
But something is going wrong.
The nanocams are transmitting bizarre scenes to the Pentagon – events that have never happened, images that seem to be from another world.
Are the recordings being doctored?
Or is something far more sinister afoot?
A powerful and malevolent intelligence is emerging from the ruins of America, and it might be too late to stop it. An intelligence analyst called Viktor Kertesz now stands at the threshold of a new chapter of human history…and zero has just become one.

Author Bio:
My name is Cheryl Allen. I am 45 years old, and live in beautiful Northern California. When I was younger the last thing I ever wanted to do was read a book (ironic I know) I would have much rather watch a movie. I never really got in touch with my inner reader until after my divorce. Reading became a way for me to escape from my everyday problems that I was going through, and it was new for me to actually have the time to sit and read; though I don’t have any kids my life was just busy with my job and trying to make a failing marriage work. Not going to lie it was 50 Shade’s that got me started, but as time went on I couldn’t find the type of book I was really wanting to read, so I decided to try and write one of my own. I took my manuscript that I started and showed it to my friends to find out that suprisingly they liked it, and the rest is as they say history.
Tempting Me: A Bad Boy Romance
About Tempting Me: A Bad Boy Romance:
Aria:
The only thing I need is him…
It was the night before my wedding. Maybe I cursed it by visiting my fiance. I didn’t expect him to cheat on me with my best friend.
That night I ended up going to the strip club. The same one I went for my bachelorette party. That guy told me to come back if it didn’t work out. I laughed at the thought. Well, it came true, because it didn’t. What was I to do next?
Ryan:
I want her, but I know I can’t…
I had my eye on her the whole night at the club. Usually, I can control myself. But not that night.
She came from a rich family. I came from the trailer. She was educated. I wish I was. There was no way it would work. But maybe if things changed, they could?
This is a full length bad boy novel, with NO cliffhanger and a happily ever after.
For a limited time, includes the full length novel, Entitled: A Bad Boy Romance.
