Our Justice by John W. Howell  

Our-Justice-frontAbout Our Justice by John W. Howell

The terrorist leader and financier Matt Jacobs figured out a way to eliminate the President. He is relying on John Cannon’s stature as a hero to help him carry it off. John finds himself walking the fine line of pretending to help Matt while trying to figure out a countermeasure to the plan.

The action begins with John fearing for his life. Clearly, whoever is trying to get him has a mission to accomplish and the elimination of John is at the top of the to-do list. The quest to survive takes John and his love, Stephanie from the beaches of Port Aransas to West Virginia and finally to Matt Jacob’s corporate headquarters at the Embarcadero Center in San Francisco. There John finally understands what he needs to do to protect both he and Stephanie from further mayhem.

The third book in the John J. Cannon Trilogy brings together two strong wills for a showdown. The question to be answered is who will feel the satisfaction that the achievement of justice delivers? John, Matt or neither?

The Darkest Dragon by Anya Nowlan  

51L86yqAz4LAbout The Darkest Dragon by Anya Nowlan

Donovan Silvertip has hidden away from the prying eyes of Shifter Grove for as long as he can remember. Nestled in a mountain that’s barely accessible, he guards his hoard and revels in his loneliness, until one day, everything changes. The most gorgeous and infuriating woman stumbles upon him on Halloween of all nights, and despite all the questions Donovan has, one thing prevails above all – he has to have her. Even if it means giving up everything he’s believed in so far.

Sabrina Corrolie is a woman willing to face her fears. You know, like spooky haunted houses in the middle of nowhere… Why she had to pick Halloween to tackle her phobias, she isn’t entirely sure, though. One thing is certain, she didn’t expect to stumble on a real, live dragon in the process! While this dragon is scary, he’s also hotter than the fire he breathes and sexier than sin… Maybe he’s just what she needs to conquer her insecurities?

Or maybe a fairy tale is just too good to be true, dragon or no dragon.

Shiftless by Aimee Easterling  

shiftlesssmallAbout Shiftless by Aimee Easterling:

Terra is shiftless — a werewolf uncomfortable in her own animal skin.

A decade after learning to squash her wolf and flee the repressive village where she grew up, the packless ache still gnaws at Terra’s insides. But despite her yearnings, she struggles against being reeled back into her old life.

To Terra’s dismay, her father and half a dozen of his henchmen finally ambush her and demand her return. Yet they do offer one way out — hunt down her nephew Keith, teach him to shift, and bring the youngster back into the fold in her place.

Problem upon problem piles up as Terra strives to do her father’s bidding. The female shifter has hidden from her wolf for so long that she finds herself unable to change back into canine form, and she also realizes that her nephew is too good-natured to survive for a minute walking in his grandfather’s footsteps. Plus, there’s an alpha standing in her way who’s equal parts enticing and terrifying.

Will Terra be able to relearn her werewolf abilities — and overcome her morals — before her father steals away her hard-earned independence? And as that tantalizing alpha reels her in closer and closer, the question becomes — does she really want to stay away?

Don’t miss the first book in a series that has been described as a “good choice for Patricia Briggs fans.”

The peacefully Kingdom of Turia awaits the birth of their king and queen’s first child, but a cruel twist of fate and a demon’s intervention destroys their lives forever. When Princess Khione’s beloved father dies, she despairs at ever finding love and happiness again. She finds comfort in her nursemaid Agnes and her friendship with Gerda, Agnes’s daughter. Years later, events orchestrated by her heartless and jealous mother, Queen Eleanor takes away Khione’s freedom and almost her life! She is forced to flee into a nearby forest inhabited by The Fae.

Banished from Turia, Agnes and Gerda try to start a new life in the nearby Kingdom of Agraunia. There Gerda befriends her neighbour’s son Kai. Their close friendship eventually blossoms into love.

Author Bio:
I grew up in Oyster Bay, New York, where my mother worked in a charming bookstore called The Book Mark. As a six-year-old, I enjoyed opening the boxes of the new children’s books that arrived at the store. I’ve been a book lover ever since. I majored in English at Denison University, received a M.S. in library science at Columbia University, and I’ve worked in book publishing for over 25 years.

Reading is still my favorite thing to do. I’m at loose ends if I don’t have a good book to read. But I also enjoy playing the ukulele and piano, riding my bicycle along the Hoboken waterfront, where I now live, singing in a women’s choir, and hiking with my family.



Dawn of the Dreamsmith by Alan Ratcliffe  

DotD_Cover_layoutV2_2About Dawn of the Dreamsmith by Alan Ratcliffe:

The first part of a new epic fantasy trilogy – for a limited time only will be free to download from 4th – 8th November 2016

Synopsis:

Cole is a young man with a unique power – the ability to venture into the dreams of others. Nobody can tell him how this gift came to him, or why. All he knows is that it seems inextricably linked to the mysterious green crystals worn by the Order of Enlightenment and its followers.

When a surprise attack on his home forces him to flee, he embarks on a perilous journey across an empire to free the realm from the grip of an insidious cult seeking to enslave its people.

As he travels through the untamed north pursued by a deadly adversary, he forms an uneasy alliance with Raven, an enigmatic stranger pursuing a decades-old quest for vengeance. Together, their path takes them through the darkest and most dangerous corners of the land, where even the bravest Legion soldiers fear to tread.

Meanwhile, the Empire, still bearing the scars of civil uprising, prepares to make war against a mysterious threat far to the south. Ignoring his own misgivings and murmurs of a fresh northern rebellion, Prince Adelmar, Commander of the Imperial Legion and heir to the throne, leads the invasion and faces the only foe he cannot outmanoeuvre: his own family.

The story will continue in 2017 in Shadows of the Dreamspire, the second book of The Raven’s Tale.

Autism Grows Up  

AGU_EbookAbout Autism Grows Up:

At twenty-one, Suzie has withdrawn from a world she finds alien and confusing. Ability is not the problem, nor is interest – many things fascinate her. But, she has Asperger’s Syndrome and high anxiety. To her, the world is a harsh, scary place where she does not fit.

She spends much of her day sleeping and most of her nights on the computer. Her mother, Amanda, wishes Suzie would get a job, go to school or at least help out around the house. Suzie feels that her time is amply filled with the compelling world lurking within her computer.

Amanda has two full time jobs – one involves working at the office every day, the second involves looking after Suzie. Amanda wants more for Suze, but does not know how to help her move forward. When she tries putting pressure on her, Suzie suffers from paralyzing anxiety, resulting in morose withdrawal or worse, lengthy tantrums. Suzie is most content when alone in the basement with her computer. Staring at her monitor, the rest of the world falls away and she feels at home.

Amanda is torn. She met this gentleman, Jack. It would be nice to spend time with someone other than her brother and daughter but Suzie wouldn’t like it and she needs her mother desperately. Amanda’s brother asks uncomfortable questions like what will become of Suzie if something happens to Amanda.

Jack gently persists and Amanda glimpses what her life could be like. Suzie resents the time her mom spends with Jack and makes her mother pay for the hours not devoted to her daughter.

Then, they have a home invasion. When an intruder breaks into the house, Amanda has only Suzie to rely on.
