The House on Sunset
Lindsay Fischer was once a high school English teacher with dreams stretching far outside the classroom. When her boyfriend of a year-and-a-half cheated on her, Lindsay found herself alone, looking online for a replacement. His name was Mike. That’s where the nightmare started. The House on Sunset is a memoir, a collection of reminiscences, scattering the ashes of two broken homes and putting them to rest. Each chapter offers a different glimpse inside the cycle of intimate partner violence, where honeymoon phases and traumas coexist. Everyone could fall victim to abusers. This book bravely displays the reasons a quirky, twenty-something teacher would, and did.

Author Bio:
Lindsay Fischer is a trauma-tested author who writes about her own experiences to help others feel less alone. A former English teacher and dance coach, a domestic violence survivor, and – now – a seemingly infertile Myrtle, she refuses to be silent about the things that change our lives. For her, those issues are domestic violence and infertility.
Lindsay Fischer graduated from Missouri State University with a Bachelor of Science in secondary education, English. Life got messy when she fell in love with a man who would become her abuser, and it pulled her from the classroom. After three years of trauma therapy, she saw an opportunity to use her voice against injustices and shame-filled adversity, blogging under the pseudonym Sarafina Bianco since 2009. She revealed her real identity in 2015 when her memoir, The House on Sunset, was re-released.
She currently lives with her husband and three dogs in St. Louis, Missouri.

On Thin Ice, The Baltimore Banners Book 8 by Lisa B. Kamps
About On Thin Ice, The Baltimore Banners Book 8 by Lisa B. Kamps
Kenny Haskell’s hard work and determination finally paid off last season when The Baltimore Banners called him up from the minors. That doesn’t mean the quiet defenseman is willing to stop proving himself. Each day is a new fight, a new opportunity, to prove to his coaches, to his team—and to himself—that he belongs with the Banners. Kenny is convinced he’ll be able to keep his head in the game with no problems—until he gets thrown out of a youth hockey game by one unforgiving ref who proves to be more of a distraction than he anticipates.
Lauren Gannon approaches life with a single successful mindset: take no prisoners, never give up, and always rely on yourself. At least, that’s what she likes to think. The last year has been a little different. Being saddled with her younger sister who refuses to grow up and take responsibility for anything is turning Lauren’s world into one crazy disaster after another. The last thing she needs to deal with is a professional hockey player who’s too attractive for his own good—or for her sanity.
The one thing Lauren has learned in life is to never underestimate the unexpected, and falling for Kenny definitely fits into that category. Can they really be friends and lovers? Kenny does his best to prove they can. But when a sudden family obligation forces Lauren to choose between what she knows is right and what she thinks is expected, will she find herself skating on thin ice and risking the happiness she really wants?

Author Bio:
Lisa B. Kamps is the author of the best-selling series The Baltimore Banners, featuring “hard-hitting, heart-melting hockey players” (USA Today), on and off the ice. Her newest series, Firehouse Fourteen, features hot and heroic firefighters.
In a previous life, she worked as a firefighter with the Baltimore County Fire Department, then a very brief (and not very successful) stint at bartending in east Baltimore, and finally as the Director of Retail Operations for a busy Civil War non-profit.
Lisa currently lives in Maryland with her husband and two sons (who are mostly sorta-kinda out of the house), one very spoiled Border Collie, two cats with major attitude, several head of cattle, and entirely too many chickens to count. When she’s not busy writing or chasing animals, she’s cheering loudly for her favorite hockey team, the Washington Capitals–or going through withdrawal and waiting for October to roll back around!

Forging of a Knight by Hugo Negron
About Forging of a Knight by Hugo Negron
The first book in the Forging of a Knight series! A battle against the forces of Those That Stand in Shadow brings an end to an old hero and a beginning for a new one. Together with a half-orcne thief named Glaive, a young warrior named Qualtan must battle through undead hordes, shape-shifting maugs, hungry trolls, and more on his journey to become a knight. Along the way, he learns the world isn’t as simple as he first thought. Good and evil are not always what they seem, close friends can be deadly enemies, and loyalty can sometimes be rewarded with treachery. Even if Qualtan can grow from these lessons, a greater one will need to be faced: can an unexpected friendship with a thief of orcne blood, despised by all, support his chance for knighthood, or ruin it altogether?

About Riding Dirty: Luciotti Crime Family (A Bad Boy Mafia Romance):
Hey guys! I have another bad boy that just went live. Can you help me bring this to the top? Also, if you have a new release you’d like me to Borrow and flip, I am happy to do that. Thank you!
Dahlia
Do I want to end up with a guy like Lucas? Hell no. I’m the type of girl who won’t take sh*t from an arrogant gangster like Lucas Luciatti.
When he looks my way, I should be scared. Instead, I’m curious.
I came to this town to escape, not to get pulled into another man’s grasp. If my ex-boyfriend was bad, this guy is drop-to-your-knees and open-wide-for-me, bad…
I will not be a mob wife. That is not in my plan. But I don’t know how long I can keep saying no.
Even if I did, you think he’d really give a damn?
Lucas
My two obsessions? P*ssy and the streets. For a guy like me, women are a dime a dozen. Sure, I’ve been told I’m a prick. The Don thinks I need to settle down. F*ck that.
Then I met her…
When I lay my eyes on that one woman who makes my c*ck harder than I can stand, I don’t f*ck around. I go after her as if she’s already mine. I’m not leaving without her taste in my mouth.
I won’t let anyone stop me, especially not that psychotic ex-boyfriend of hers.
I’ll show her how dirty I can get. I’ll stop when she begs. Maybe.

Author Bio:
I grew up in Hertfordshire where I discovered my love of books. I started writing fairy stories at an early age, inspired by the stories of Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm. I continued writing poems and short stories over the years and then in 2010 I got the idea for a novel. By the time I was halfway through writing it, I realised there was too much story for just one book, and so the Heart Search trilogy was born. My publisher, Myrddin Publishing Group, have been incredibly supportive and I count myself lucky to be with them.
I’m now working on my 5th book which is the first in a seven book fantasy series.
I run a writing group called Writebulb. They have written four anthologies, the proceeds of which support a local hospice. Their 5th book will be launched September 2016.
I’m also principal editor at Eagle Eye Editors.
My daughter and I love making jewellery and have a website where we sell it. We also attend craft fairs.
Currently I live in Suffolk with my daughter.
