Robbed of Soul by Lois D. Brown  

Robbed-of-Soul-Final-200-x300About Robbed of Soul by Lois D. Brown

**Limited FREE Romantic Suspense ebook** (Aug 22-26, 2016)
Rescued but psychologically damaged from a failed mission, ex-CIA officer Maria Branson takes the job of police chief in the quiet town of Kanab, Utah. Rest and relaxation are the doctor’s orders. She gets neither. Instead, a missing mayor, the spirit of a dead Aztec warrior, and the over-confident-yet-attractive head of Search and Rescue await her in a town whose past has almost as many secrets as her own. As Maria investigates a modern-day murder, she disturbs a world of ancient legends and deadly curses. Yet most lethal of all is Maria’s fear someone will discover just how empty her soul really is.

The Catalyst by CM Raymond and LE Barbant  

V3-Catalyst_CoverAbout The Catalyst by CM Raymond and LE Barbant

A mad scientist fighting the laws of man and nature.
A demon-monster of mythical proportions.
A corporate conspiracy that goes back more than a century.

The Steel City is in desperate need of a hero.

When Sean Moretti’s powers manifested themselves, a lifetime of comic books taught him what to do. Already struggling to make it as a normal college student, his new found ability to sense energy in those around him did nothing to simplify his life. As destructive forces descend upon Steel City, he must learn to channel his potential, or die trying.

Willa Weil has a secret—she comes from a long line of magicians trained to unlock the power hidden within poetry. This skill requires discipline and the Guild demands obedience. Willa has long kept her power to herself, but when a molten metal creature threatens to consume her friends, she can no longer remain on the sidelines.

History professor Elijah Branton moved to Pittsburgh for the job of a lifetime, researching the family history of one of the nation’s wealthiest and most attractive CEOs. But not everything is as it seems in the Steel City. The historian soon unearths a deadly conspiracy that threatens to unravel his world.

Can they save their city, or will they lose themselves in the process?

The Catalyst is Daredevil meets The Dresden Files, a gritty and gripping superhero/urban fantasy story for the 21st century. With magic and monsters, science, and secrets, The Catalyst pushes readers to consider their own path and the ethical compromises we all make—heroes and villains alike.

When Time Stops by Anya Nowlan  

WhenTimeStops-2x3About When Time Stops by Anya Nowlan

Aeon Prevoir is getting swindled. For years, he has been the Alpha of his family, the guardian of all they stand for. He’s more than happy to stay that way, yet his younger brothers have another idea. Tricked, Aeon finds himself thrusts into a predictable world he doesn’t like, or approve of. But if the first woman he meets is the only person who can throw this dragon for a loop, maybe he’s been missing out on something? When one night of passion turns into something much more hot and dangerous, Aeon knows things can’t stay the same any longer.

Isobel Evans has bet on the wrong man. Left at the altar, she does the only reasonable thing to do for a woman in an exorbitantly expensive wedding dress on the supposed happiest day of her life – she runs. Right into the arms of a sexy, mysterious, dashing hero. But when on the very next day she gets unceremoniously abducted and put up as the prize of a dragon tournament, Isobel’s more than ready to give up on mankind for good.

It seems she’ll be stuck with a dragon, whether she likes it or not. That’s not something the curvy lawyer will take without a fight! And when Isobel realizes that her forbidden night resulted in something a lot more permanent than a few hickies, she knows there’s more on the line than just her faith in men, or her future.

With dragons circling the sky like vultures and danger lurking behind every corner, Aeon has to choose his path. The predictability of the future before him, or the wild uncertainty that comes with the most fascinating woman he has ever met? With a baby on the way, there’s no time to waste…

Before she was known as Scarlet, she was dubbed Poison by her allies in the army — a legendary soldier with no equal. No foe that crossed her path lived to see the light of day. Impressed by her staggering body count, Poison is offered a job at Sigma Squad, an elite squad of assassins whose task is the termination of high priority targets. Elated by the chance to eliminate officers instead of mere grunts, Poison takes the job. Everything goes smoothly, until that day. The day her world came crumbling down. Through the death and the lies, a far more sinister plot is unveiled — one that would threaten the very fabric of humanity. If that wasn’t enough, a mystery figure enters the fold with an agenda of his own. Poison is about to have an exceedingly bad day — one which she will never forget.

Author Bio:
Financial maths nerd, movie geek, and dedicated foodie, Peita Diamantidis is a new form of ‘geek’ hybrid. Having co-founded Caboodle Financial Services in Sydney, Australia in 2006, she combined her maths and finance experience with a passion for communicating that now has her on a mission to empower the public to take charge of their finances.”The best place to start seemed to be asking the general public how they currently approach all things financial in their lives” Peita said. “Incredibly, over half of the people we surveyed admitted to being crippled by ‘financial paralysis’ resulting in procrastination or outright avoidance when it comes to the day to day things like paying bills or reading bank statements. This is well before they ever manage to get their head around planning for the future. This is only natural of course, as what we don’t understand we fear, and what we fear we avoid.””Unfortunately, many of the financial literacy efforts to date universally required the public to learn about us, to learn about our world, and somehow become fluent in our strange language and complex products … and when we dug further (and did a little soul searching) we realised … it’s not about us, it’s about them! And that was how Zaptitude was born.

Once she identified what we felt people needed to get on top of their money stuff – some Zaptitude – she then did some digging into what stops people from finding this magical ingredient themselves. And her research identified that the single biggest barrier to being completely on top of all things financial was … ACTION … or the lack of it. Just like losing weight, quitting smoking or any other major life changes we attempt, it is all for nothing if we don’t take that first step, and then the one after that.

Whether it’s Peita’s Finance Action Hero series of books, or the recent research into Gen Y’s hopes and dreams for the future, the Zaptitude HQ team have come up with a framework to ensure that people feel empowered, inspired and supported to act. We figure that the next wonderous creations, magical art and innovative employers are going to come from people who can not only imagine their next great adventure, but also have the financial understanding or ‘zaptitude’ to take the leap.

As sidekick to the Zaptitude Tribe, Peita sees herself as the Robin to her members’ Batman – taking control of their goals through education and inspiration (and a healthy dose of fun!)



Errant Spark (Elemental Trials, Book 1) by Ronelle Antoinette  

cover-new-sizeAbout Errant Spark (Elemental Trials, Book 1) by Ronelle Antoinette:

In Egalion’s Imperial court, there is splendor and luxury, but it’s also a realm of treachery. Cloak-and-dagger political maneuvering threatens to destroy the peace of two thousand years.

Battlemage Jex Xander has a mouth that gets him into trouble; while in contrast, Enari Namelum speaks not at all. Amidst the mounting chaos, passion and romance should be the last thing on their minds, but life and the Goddess seem to have other ideas. They say to keep your friends close and your enemies closer, but at court you can’t tell one from the other…and they change at the flip of a coin.

Passion, danger, and magic collide in this romantic fantasy. The flint has been struck and the whole world may just go up in flames.

The Drift  

The-Drift-Final-CoverAbout The Drift:

In the quaint little town of Crystal Falls, surrounded by the majestic Rocky Mountains, a storm is brewing….

As the tightknit community fights to survive a blizzard like no other, more sinister threats, dark and duplicitous, lurk just out of sight.

Embarking upon his first official mission, Ra sees himself as a rescuer, a hero, a man whose selfless efforts will save untold lives and ensure a future where his people will flourish for generations to come.

As he carries out his duties, he’s forced to face the cruel duality of good and evil. Firsthand, he witnesses that actions, no matter how noble the intent, can trigger disastrous outcomes, some irreversible.

Struggling to undo what he’s done, Ra finds in himself a surprising capacity for empathy and discovers an emotion he’s willing to die for – love.

In this electrically charged page-turner, David Maxwell, author of the highly rated Rebirth, takes us into an all-too-possible dystopian world where one group’s solution for survival threatens to destroy the lives of another.

The Drift is a heart-pounding science fiction thriller where evolutionary decline and technological advancement collide with social justice and the innate desire for self-preservation.

Oughta Be a Movie: a Sugar-&-Spice romantic comedy by Susan Hammond  

oughtabeamovieebook-small-192-KBAbout Oughta Be a Movie: a Sugar-&-Spice romantic comedy by Susan Hammond:

Take Ben Harrison . . .
One easy-going, drop-dead gorgeous, Hollywood screenwriter—who might be just the teensiest bit alpha in the bedroom. (Okay, a bit more than teensy because there’s nothing teensy about him.)

Mix with Ali McKenna . . .
One sweet, slightly geeky, very vanilla, chemistry teacher with a “head made for science and a bod made for sin”—who might be just a little too curious for her own good.

Toss in two secret crushes, a friendship that goes back to when they were kids, a wedding weekend, a problem ex-boyfriend, and one very protective (and meddling) older brother.

It’s a recipe for trouble . . . with enough sparks to make your e-reader smolder. And so much fun it oughta be a movie.

What’s a Sugar-&-Spice romantic comedy?
A standalone novella or short novel with sweetness and laughs and love and heat—lots of heat. And always a Happy Ever After.

I believe . . .
(1) An elevator ride can change your life
(2) Red wine and dark chocolate have medicinal properties
(3) Flip flops and Sunday afternoon naps are the secret to a happy life
(4) Country music, chick flicks, and sparkly things are the best guilty pleasures
(5) True love lasts (See #1 above)

The man in the elevator and I are still in love, laughing together and living in Texas, just south of the piney woods and north of the rice paddies. If I’m not writing romance or reading romance or making up new imaginary friends who fall in love, I’m probably out-and-about searching for just one more pair of perfect flip flops.

I loved writing a romantic comedy because after all
(6) Falling in love is one funny, crazy ride.
