About Constant Guests by Patricia Nedelea
How would you feel if you found out one day that your mother wasn’t your mother and nobody had a clue who your father might be? This is what happens to Isa, a cynical party girl from Paris whose life is abruptly changed. When Mara, her real mother dies in front of her eyes without saying a word, Isa wants to find out what Mara was searching for in 1991, before she went into a coma. But Isa soon discovers that she is not the only one searching for answers, and that her life is in danger. What is the secret that people are prepared to kill for? As Isa is drawn into a dark labyrinth of mysteries, she uncovers four lost-and-found stories related to a tarot deck from 1389. Four stories have to be told, twenty-four tarot cards have to be united and one great secret has to be revealed. She was looking for her mother’s secret. Instead, she found the world’s greatest secret.

Not only that, you will gain historical knowledge about tarot and see the first tarot deck ever: the book includes images of the twenty-four cards.

Mash Up by Joe Klingler
2016 Finalist Eric Hoffer Book Award
“A classic addition to the noir genre.”–San Francisco Book Review (5 of 5 Stars)
When a suspect dies on his watch, failure pushes Alaskan detective Qigiq to San Francisco–the land of technology–to regroup. His new fast-driving partner, Kandy Dreeson, calls at dawn: a beautiful avant-garde violinist is at the station freaking out about an Amazon box–and her missing roommate. Thus begins the hunt for a killer who leaves behind a torrent of body parts, videos of heinous crimes, and deadly explosions.
Suspenseful and grisly with humor and seduction, Mash Up is a riveting read of intertwined action from the first sentence. High-speed chase suspenseful, exploding with power-struggle intrigue, and awash in Silicon Valley innovation; Mash Up captures the enchantment of the Internet Age, and the deadly power of a file copy.
“Klingler’s new thriller is a ride into the dark side of computers and comedy…definitely has a Quentin Tarantino-feel to it.”–San Francisco Book Review
“A thoughtful, well-constructed tale.”–Kirkus Reviews

Author Bio:
Computers fascinate me, so I studied engineering. Music intrigues me, so I studied piano. Special effects and Silicon Valley are in my past and in my blood. I became an author to examine the mystic dance between modern technology and the way people choose to use it. I saw a friend wearing a Napster T-shirt, muttered the word copyright, and was inspired to write Mash Up by the ensuing conversation.
Mash Up will take you on a rollicking ride through cyber-crime with a detective who is almost overwhelmed by it all, and his partner who wants to kick asphalt.

The Greater Darkness by Eldon Murphy
About The Greater Darkness by Eldon Murphy:
Something powerful is stirring in the darkness. Something so ancient that even creatures who’ve been alive for hundreds of years have long since discounted this new threat as nothing more than myth.
Geoffrey knows even less than most about this rising menace. His memories were all violently ripped away from him, leaving nothing of his past but dreams containing haunting glimpses of a beautiful girl.
A chance encounter offers up a possible link to his past, but forces beyond his control are threatening to push him into the middle of a conflict that could sweep away everything, and everyone he’s been fighting so hard to protect.
This time, saving the girl may very well cost Geoffrey his soul.

Author Bio:
Eldon Murphy is an open pen name for Dean Murray, a prolific author with dozens of titles across multiple pen names and more than half a million copies of his work currently in circulation.
Dean started reading seriously in the second grade due to a competition and has spent most of the subsequent three decades lost in other people’s worlds.
Things worsened, or improved depending on your point of view, when he first started experimenting with writing while finishing up his accounting degree. These days Dean has a lovely wife and three wonderful children to keep him more grounded than he used to be, but the idea of bringing others along with him as he meets interesting new people in universes nobody else has ever seen drags him back to his computer on a regular basis.
After the Sucker Punch
They buried her father at noon, at five she found his journals, and in the time it took to read one-and-a-half pages her world turned upside down… he thought she was a failure.
Every child, no matter how old, wants to know their father loves them, and Tessa Curzio – thirty-six, emerging writer, ex-rocker, lapsed Catholic, defected Scientologist, and fourth in a family of eight complicated people – is no exception. But just as life was finally coming together, the one-two punch of her father’s death and posthumous indictment proves an existential knockout.
She tries to transcend, but his damning words skew everything from her relationship to the truth of her family, even her sense of self. It’s her little-known aunt, a nun and counselor, who lovingly strong-arms Tessa onto a journey of discovery and reinvention, a trip that’s not always pretty – or particularly wise – but one that leads to unexpected truths.
After the Sucker Punch takes an irreverent look at father/daughter relationships through the exploration of family, faith, creativity, love, and the struggle to define oneself against the inexplicable perceptions of a deceased parent. Mixing sass and sensibility, it’s a story wrapped in contemporary culture but with a very classic heart.

Author Bio:
Ugh, the author bio page. You know, where some “guest” says really impressive things about the author.
The writer, in third person voice of course, is supposed to say really cool things about themselves, about their company and their brand.
Here is the deal. I help people stand out.
I say, “Be The Lime Because The World Has Enough Lemons.”
It is not hard to stand out. It is not hard to do things differently. Most people just can’t see the forest through the trees.
Finding that one thing. That one unique angle that raises the bar for everyone else and propels you to the top is the fun part.
After countless requests from my clients, friends, and the guy that sells me pizza, I decided to make some of these strategies public.
You may or may not know me…but I guarantee you have seen my work.
Who I am matters, but not as much as you getting real results. You know, the kind you can measure! But, since this is the bio page, here are a few tidbits about me.
I enjoy writing, traveling, motorcycling, and flying stunt planes. I have built and sold companies; not because selling was the goal, but because it was fun to turn a hobby into a business.
I am a total foodie and wish people would stop posting recipes online (I feel like I need to make them all).
I am pretty sure you won’t beat me in a game of air hockey but you could probably take me in game of bowling without a problem.
I could talk for hours and hours about marketing and love sharing the things I find out.
I want to thank you for picking up the book. I hope you like it and, even more, I hope you put it to good use!
Whether you, your business, or your brand is getting lost in all the ‘noise’ out there, I will help you BE THE LIME.
