About The Portal Prophecies: A Keeper’s Destiny by C.A. King
The main protagonist, Willow, is a teenage girl growing up on her own in a magical world where the events of the past are a mystery. A series of events set her and her friends on a journey like no other, leading them to a new understanding of themselves, their feelings and their abilities. As they begin to unravel all that previously transpired, they find themselves the sole opposition to a plot that could destroy all existence. The one clue they have is a book filled with hundreds of predictions called ‘The Portal Prophecies’. Deciphering them however, will not be an easy task. Written by someone from their past, the pages are lined with riddle like poems. Even worse they appear to be in no particular order.
As the books progress, readers will find some new explanations for old tales, myths, legends, folk lore and unusual phenomena.
The Prophecies are the key to their survival. Will they unravel their secrets in time?

The Tale of Gurion Thricebound by Angela Holder
About The Tale of Gurion Thricebound by Angela Holder
Wizard. Father. Prophet. Spy. Traitor. Hero. Legend
Everything Gurion Elero has ever believed is a lie. Like all wizards, he has been granted magical powers by the Mother—powers that give his kind the right to rule over and exploit the Unchosen masses. But when the Oligarchs he serves order him to take part in the violent suppression of an Unchosen uprising, he is forced to confront the brutal truth of the wizards’ reign.
Appalled by their abuse of her gifts, the Mother withdraws her favor from the wizards, leaving them powerless—and helpless to intervene when a deadly plague spreads through Ravanet. Undeterred, Oligarch Darani tightens her vicious stranglehold. Gurion leaves behind his family and way of life to live among the Unchosen, turning spy for the very rebellion he once sought to stamp out.
Darkness is gathering, death is coming from all sides, and Darani will stop at nothing to destroy her enemies and secure her dominion over Ravanet. A reckless attempt to regain the Mother’s favor may be the only way to save wizard and Unchosen alike. As the specter of war looms, Gurion must marshal his courage, rally his people to battle, and face those who have betrayed him—and those he has betrayed.
For a limited time, The Tale of Gurion Thricebound is on sale for only 99 cents. Get it today!

The Arx by Jay Allan Storey
About The Arx by Jay Allan Storey
A year ago, after a mental breakdown, homicide detective Frank Langer was placed on medical leave from the squad he was once hand-picked to lead. Now he spends his days drinking and chain-smoking, and his nights waking up screaming from a horrific recurring nightmare.
Then he stumbles on a conspiracy to kidnap children.
When he shows up at the squad with his story, his former colleagues pat him on the back and tell him to go home. Undaunted, he digs deeper into the mystery, joined by Rebecca, the aunt of one of the missing children. She tries to help Frank confront the horrific event that led to his breakdown.
When he finally connects the pieces, the answer is more deadly than he ever imagined, and telling Rebecca would put her life in danger. Soon even she comes to question his sanity.
If Frank is right the conspiracy threatens the entire human race. But can he find someone to buy his story before it’s too late?

Born in Victoria, BC, Canada, Jay has traveled the world, passing through many places in the news today, including Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and the Swat valley in Pakistan. He has worked at an amazing variety of jobs, from cab driver to land surveyor to accordion salesman to software developer.
Jay is the author of two novels, THE ARX, and ELDORADO, a novella, CHOPPER MUSIC, and a number of short stories. A new novel is due late in 2016, and several other projects are in the works.

He is attracted to characters who are able to break out of their stereotypes (as Jackson Reilly does in CHOPPER MUSIC) and transform themselves.
He loves both reading and writing, both listening to and playing music, and working with animals. He’s crazy for any activity relating to the water, including swimming, surfing, wind-surfing, sailing, snorkeling, and scuba diving.
Jay is married and lives in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
Born to Die by George A Bernstein
About Born to Die by George A Bernstein
KINDLE REDUCED TO $2.99 THROUGH JULY 24, 2016
Too many infant boys of Palm Beach gentry are dying of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Only obstetrics nurse, Casey Jansson, is suspicious.
Al Warner, crack Miami Homicide detective, is inactive, languishing on medical leave from a deadly shootout with the Angel of Death. He’s in the best physical condition of his life, but is struggling to convince the Department’s shrink he is not suffering from PTSD.
Warner meets Casey at a local pub. They are attracted to each other, but misreading the other’s body language, remain reserved. Learning of the SIDS deaths from Casey, Warner concedes it sounds more than coincidental, agreeing to help investigate, hoping romance develops later.
Danny O’Brien, a resident doctor and Casey’s best friend, is researching the deaths and coming to a stunning conclusion.
Casey stubbornly continues her quest for a culprit for these SIDS deaths. Using Danny’s notes, she leaves Warner a message, and then follows her suspect deep into the Everglades. Getting Casey’s message, Warner races after her, sure she put herself in danger. But unlike Casey, who had an unwitting guide, he is uncertain where to look.
Casey’s obsession tangles her in mortal danger. Only Warner can save her, if he can figure out where she went, and get there in time.

Amazing Heart by Pamela Taeuffer
About Amazing Heart by Pamela Taeuffer
“I’m running to my love. He’s the one I’ve always wanted but was too afraid to tell. I can’t wait to get to him. Finally, after years or fear from being raised in a family battling alcoholism I feel free. And then . . . I’m stopped in full sprint.”
It’s Amazing, but for the first time in my life I have let go of the control. I’ve battled so hard to hold onto the twisted security of my family’s battle with alcoholism—it’s what I’ve known—never risking too much, holding back, so the hurt didn’t cut too deep. Now?
I feel a new life
An unknown.
Vulnerable.
It’s magnificent.
It’s . . . intimacy, being held, letting someone see into my dark places so the light, hidden since a little girl, can finally become brilliant. It’s amazing. I’m about to shout my love for a man who seems to understand me like no one ever has. After I do, will everything fall apart? In my heart of shadows, the fear of being abandoned beats inside my head with regular rhythms.
“Please take me in your arms,” I say silently. “Accept my dark places. Help me understand you won’t leave me.” Maybe I’m dreaming when he says, “Whatever path we choose, whatever arises, we’ll overcome our fears.” Have a finally been set free from generational mistakes that are passed forward in our family?
Dare I ask for what I want and trust myself enough to share my thoughts, wishes, dreams . . . dare I actually hope in another person? Will he break his promises like my parents did to me? Can I really, really, be alive, vulnerable, open and reach for deep, sensual intimacy? Can I take a risk and transition into joy?

Hidden Thrones by Russ Scalzo
About Hidden Thrones by Russ Scalzo
A new award winning series from author Russ Scalzo. A supernatural thriller. A titanic clash between good and evil.
Jack Bennett has an unusual gift. His coveted ability means he is the FBI’s newest hire, serving as a consultant for their new Paranormal Division.
The government is convinced we are not alone in this world. With invisible forces all around, agencies are seeking how to harness that power for their own uses. The mystery swirling around the unseen and unknown has caused much speculation. Some suppose lost souls are wandering the earth, others believe deceased loved ones never truly moved on, and still there are those who are convinced that aliens have infiltrated our world.
Jack Bennett knows better. He knows who and what these powers are. The ancient scriptures talk about a great evil that was conceived in the depths of eternity. There, a great war occurred in a place called Heaven. Lucifer, the ancient serpent, the evil dragon of folklore, was cast out and bound to the earth and confined to its surrounding atmosphere.
Could it be that the evil we see is inspired by a dark kingdom, a demonic spiritual force at war with the human race? Could these princes and rulers of darkness be influencing our world today? Jack Bennett knows this is the truth. He knows because he encounters them every day.
Follow Jack Bennett in the first of a five part series as he battles the realm of Hidden Thrones.
Praise for Hidden Thrones:
“Spirit-filled fiction in a political thriller, what a treat!” David Bergsland of Reality Calling.
“This book was great! Action and intrigue right from the beginning and with a bit of romance thrown in.”
“I loved this book! It was exciting and thought-provoking.”
“What a suspenseful Christian novel this is. It is very much in the category of Frank Peretti’s “This Present Darkness” novel.”

Hail Mary Baby: A Secret Baby Sports Romance
About Hail Mary Baby: A Secret Baby Sports Romance:
I made one big mistake that almost ruined my life — I had the quarterback’s baby.
Laura
Jocks were never my thing. But when the first assignment to hit my news desk is an interview with Liam Conway, I can’t refuse. The scoop is too big, because Liam is the talk of the football world right now — with men and women alike.
Makes sense. He’s tall, dark, handsome… and ripped. Then there are the rumors about his prowess in bed and the size of his c*ck… Not that I pay attention to any of those.
The interview turns into a seduction, as Liam pursues me. Flattered, I agree to one night. One night of panty-dropping, sheet-clenching, oh my GOD he’s good sex.
Only… after we parted the next morning, he doesn’t realize he changed my life… forever.
I had his baby, and he has no idea.
Liam
I don’t give a damn about love. All I care about is scoring… on and off the field. Football and p*ssy are my two passions, and I don’t give a f*ck who knows it.
I’m the player of the century. Groupies, flashy cars, a big mansion… I thought I had it all. That is, until I laid eyes on gorgeous blonde Laura.
Now I can’t get her out of my damned head… and I’m going to claim her. I’ll do whatever it takes to keep f*cking her… morning, noon, night, and every chance between.
She resists me, but I don’t care. I’ll just have to remind her just how much she wanted me, that night she screamed my name…
I will make her want me, make her spill all her secrets, make her stay with me… if it’s the last thing I do.

The Nepali Flat
Join Gordon Alexander in Nepal as he drags his ‘heavy arse’ over the Himalayas in this hilarious, adventure-soaked account of the Three Passes Trek, culminating in a visit to Everest Base Camp. The Nepali Flat, littered with Aussie slang (and explanations) and topped off with a dry sense of humour, is your ideal travel companion, or if you’re just looking for a bloody good yarn.
Together with guide Subash and porter Nima, Gordon tackles high passes in excess of 5400 metres (17700ft) and explains how high altitude affects a mildly-overweight road builder from sea level in the tropics. Each part of the journey brings new challenges including sub-freezing temperatures, almost falling into a crevasse, and alarmingly warm beer. Along the way he discovers the local Kukri Rum, traverses glaciers, interacts with eccentric and curious characters, and takes in the most beautiful views on the planet (pictures included).
10% of the profits from this book go to the continued rebuilding effort in Nepal, following the devastating earthquake in April, 2015. More information on gordonalexander.org.

Author Bio:
Born in the mid-1980s in Australia’s Top End, Gordon was plucked from his home at the age of 12 by his chicken-farming father and began moving around the world, from England to Saudi Arabia, Scotland, back to England, Jordan, Bahrain, before heading home to Australia at the age of 24 to reclaim his Aussie identity.
He spent four years at boarding school in Scotland, partook in a brief yet unspectacular stint at the University of London, studying Arabic, before transferring to the University of Jordan to continue learning the language. Six months later he gained his first professional writing experience working as a sports journalist for Bahrain Tribune, a daily broadsheet newspaper in the Gulf. Gordon has travelled to nearly 30 countries in his lifetime, and will not rest until he has ticked every single one of them off his list.
On his return to Australia, he attempted to hitchhike from Brisbane to Darwin, merely to see if it was possible, but hit Townsville where they didn’t like the look of his beard. He slept for three nights in the same spot, cosily nestled between a railway track and a main highway, being awoken intermittently by road trains and train trains. On the fourth day a man picked him up and offered him a job scooping dead barramundi out of a man-made dam. They had perished after heavy fog had suffocated all the fish on the farm.
For days he toiled until the last, rotting fish had been removed. So impressed was the farmer with Gordon’s fish removing skills, that he offered him a job as a house relocator, picking houses up and moving them to different parts of the country. He accepted and spent the next year travelling Queensland extensively, rolling around under houses with spiders, snakes and toads.
When the boss wouldn’t let him eat lunch one day, working in the aptly named Gordonvale, he cracked the shits and moved home to Darwin, literally found work in about 4 hours, and has been in the same job ever since, being paid to build roads and travel the Northern Territory from end to end.
Gordon’s love of writing has never ceased following his exposure to it almost a decade ago, and has written of his adventures in remote areas of Australia, providing honest insight into some deeply troubled Aboriginal communities. In March 2014 he travelled to Nepal and was determined to write a travel book concerning the ‘Three Passes Trek’, which he eventually completed in February 2016. The book is called The Nepali Flat and it’s pretty good, ranking at #1 in Amazon’s Best Seller Travel (free) list.
Time of the Draig

Opening the door in time brings Samantha and Faolan together. Fate, destiny, and responsibility are at odds. The forces that brought them together may be their undoing.
Will their love survive Samantha’s journey back to her world to save time, or will the centuries that stretch between them tear them apart?

Jan Love teeters on the edge of a lofty precipice overlooking the Rio Grande, contemplating how her life might improve if she threw herself into the roiling waters. Or she could just go back to the hotel in the Big Bend and drink herself to death.

When a mysterious stranger approaches her, Jan is terrified, more so as he invites her to accept an invitation from Juan Diego to meet Our Lady of Guadalupe, locally known as the Mother of God. She reacts with belligerence and a panicky sense that she might be hallucinating. Again.
The threat of a sinister and lethal plot by high government officials, who have seduced her husband with an offer of national glory, puts Jan’s life in danger, and she must somehow overcome her fears and accept the invitation to journey to “The Thin Place.”
How hard can it be to believe you are loved unconditionally? To discover your authentic self? To take the first step?
