Wrong then Right by Jodi Watters  

WTR_FrontCoverAbout Wrong then Right by Jodi Watters

FREE Friday 9-9-16 and Saturday 9-10-16. FREE Everyday with Kindle Unlimited!

Hope Coleson is having a doozy of a day.
Wrongly terminated from her menial waitressing job? Check
Abruptly evicted from her run down apartment with prime views of a graffiti painted dumpster? Double check.
Thoroughly bedded by a smoking hot man with smooth moves and zero communication skills? Triple X check.
And it doesn’t end there. Estranged family members are showing up like bad pennies, her precious savings account has been wiped clean, and she may or may not have a stalker.
So what’s a desperate girl to do, but try her hand at love?

Retired Navy SEAL Beckett Smith doesn’t make mistakes.
Yes, he drinks his way to the bottom of a beer bottle or six, on one too many occasions.
Sure, he’s a well-educated man who prefers to communicate at a level only slighter higher than your average poodle.
And yeah, he lost his legendary control and slept with his boss’s sister, stripping her of more than just her clothes before making a quick getaway.
Only it doesn’t end there. Isolation isn’t providing the peace he’s seeking, the boss he considers a friend is ready to hand him a beat down and a pink slip, and the girl he can’t stop thinking about is suddenly parked on his doorstep.
So what’s a jaded guy to do, but take a chance on love?

Author Bio:
My love for steamy romance began when I was in junior high. A friend and I came upon a dumpster of discarded paperbacks behind our small town’s Ben Franklin store. Covers missing and each book torn in two, split right down the center of the spline, I scanned the pages for any love or lust words—and curse words, too. From that point on, I scoured the public library and our local discount store, devouring anything labeled romance. I said a tearfully grateful goodbye to Judy Bloom as Jackie Collins began ruling my world.

I live with my high school sweetheart turned husband and our three, beloved DVR’s, in the desert Southwest. Otherwise known as the surface of the sun during the summer.

My life long goals are to think before I speak, smile more and swear less, and actually weigh what my driver’s license states I do. And I have been contemplating a hair color change for the last decade. I’m thinking red.

Basically Frightened  

Corrected-1About Basically Frightened:

“Oh no, not another post-apocalyptic chronicle I hear you cry. But wait, where are the lumbering zombies, floppy mutants and crazy survivalists called Huck? No, this is not the glamorous Hollywood vision with exciting weapons and deceptively good teeth (though mine are adequate), this is the husk of a world left behind after one of those pesky pandemics (rather insensitively called ‘The Shakes’ on Social Media). Join my odyssey through looted pound shops and empty supermarkets as I encounter numerous people who range from 1 to 10 on the psychotic survivor scale. Expect intrigue, betrayal, warm fuzzy feelings and references to Pot Noodles.”

Author Bio:
What to say about Vasily Pugh? Well, he’s the kind of bumptious writer who refers to himself in the third person, he thinks he’s funny despite evidence to the contrary and he has exorcised that mythical book that supposedly resides within us all. He has plans to write more books unless the literary authorities step in though he fancies his chances against Thomas Pynchon in a one-on-one fight. Writing has long been a passion as has cinema and indeed writing about cinema; rarely have the two media been combined to such devastatingly mediocre results. Please investigate Vasily Pugh’s work – if he gets enough people to read his work he might even start using the first person.

What happens when you find out all the horror you’ve seen in the world is more than just bad luck? When you find out there is a boogyman?

For as long as Gabe can remember, his life had been plagued by haunting images and tragic events. It seemed like everyone he knew or loved was doomed for a life of misery or death. He was starting to come to the same conclusion everyone else had–he must be cursed. Until one day, in a subway tunnel, everything suddenly changed. A horrific disaster led him to a strange new person named Uri.

Uri introduced Gabe to an exciting new world filled with angels, demons, magic, and best of all, a beautiful girl named Sophie. This chance at a new life had everything Gabe always longed for: a family, friends, and possibly even love. He soon discovered, though, that this life came at a steep price. One he feared might cost him his life.

A prophecy places Gabe in the middle of a choice he could have never imagined he would have to make. He finds out the creatures that have haunted his nightmares are actually real and only the Guardians stand between them and the rest of the world.

Luces en el mar  

Lucesenelmar_MiquelReinaAbout Luces en el mar:

Cuando una fuerte tormenta arroja al mar su casa del acantilado, una pareja de ancianos cuyos sueños quedaron truncados tras la muerte de su hijo, deberá dejar a un lado las frustraciones del pasado para vivir juntos una trepidante e extraordinaria aventura.

«Fue un rayo el desencadenante de todo…» Así empieza Luces en el Mar, una inspiradora novela que cuenta la historia de Harold y Mary Rose Grapes. Un matrimonio que, tras la trágica muerte de su hijo, dejó a un lado sus anhelos de juventud y se resignó a vivir en aquella isla remota, alejados de todo. Ahora, el destino les vuelve a poner a prueba y en los últimos años de su vida se ven forzados abandonar su hogar de una manera que nunca habrían imaginado.
Justo la noche antes de ser desahuciados, mientras duermen, se desata una fuerte tormenta y un rayo hace que la casa se desprenda del acantilado y caiga al mar con ellos dentro. De la forma más inesperada, los Grapes se convertirán en dos náufragos a la deriva sobre una casa flotante. Comienza así un extraordinario viaje en el que deberán luchar juntos frente a las adversidades si quieren sobrevivir. Olvidarse de los fantasmas y frustraciones del pasado es imprescindible. Una aventura fantástica en el mar llena de peligros que abrirá viejas heridas, pero que, a la vez, les hará conocerse mejor y descubrir que nunca es tarde.
En esta novela fantástica de supervivencia, repleta de sensibilidad y emoción en cada párrafo, Miquel Reina convierte a unos atormentados ancianos en unos grandes aventureros que nos motivan a no dejar nunca de perseguir nuestros sueños.

«El lector es engullido desde las primeras líneas y sale de la novela con la sensación de haber vivido una experiencia trepidante.» Escritores.org
