The Christmas Spell  

The Christmas Spell Cover (rev 1.)About The Christmas Spell:

Sometimes forgiveness is the most powerful gift of all…

Breens Mist witch, Chloe Ballard, has a Christmas Eve tradition. Leave her little cottage in the woods and head into town to find a man to keep her warm that night, the loneliness at bay. What she doesn’t expect when she encounters Thaddeus Cole, standing in the display window of a storefront from the Victorian Era, is to confront a past that ripped her life apart 130 years before on the Oregon frontier.

Part-contemporary, part-historical, The Christmas Spell weaves a story of seduction, danger, and magical healing from a grief too long put aside.

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Chick Lit  

Christmas-Chick-Lit-Anthology-2016-coverAbout It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Chick Lit:

**FREE Christmas Anthology** A warm, funny, often romantic anthology of stories about all kinds of women at holiday time—perfect to relish with a cup of hot cocoa and a fuzzy blanket by the fire.
In Jax Abbey’s “Jingle Bells and Social Fails,” there’s epic Christmas disaster. Rather than a proposal, Reese MacDowell gets an invitation to accompany her boyfriend of two months to his parents’ annual Christmas party, from which their relationship may never recover.
In S. E. Babin’s “Holly Jolly Heartache,” Jess catches her long-term boyfriend with another woman right before Christmas. On the rebound and in search of her one true love, she accidentally opens Pandora’s Box, unleashing a series of sometimes hilarious, sometimes awful events.
Laurie Baxter’s “A Charlie Brown Christmas” features Ming Leibowitz, who ironically loves Christmas and the movies. Today she’s treating herself to a little of both. Too bad the blockhead who broke her heart in high school just showed up.
Holly Tierney-Bedord’s “The Miraculous Power of Butter Cookies” follows the boisterous Buefred family through thick and thin—a lot of thin. Now, can the estranged Buefred clan bake their way to success, happiness, and reconciliation in time for Christmas?
In Vivian Brooks’s “Christmas Cookies,” Kinsley never liked much of anything in life, except her grandma’s Christmas cookies. Then she started working with Perry. Darn. If she wasn’t so shy and quiet, she might not have such sleek competition to win his heart….
In Geralyn Corcillo’s “It Doesn’t Show Signs of Stopping,” two cross-country flirty texters have a chance to be together this Christmas—if they can weather the thunderstorms, the teen drivers crushin’ on each other, and the unexpected calamities of flaming rum punch.
In Amy Gettinger’s “Deck the Malls with Purple Peacocks,” a hard-working Mexican woman living in California needs help keeping sight of her big dream this Christmas. Can Three Wise Women and a cute, cheeky Cuban come to her aid? With the help of some purple peacocks?
In Tracy Krimmer’s “Candy Christmas,” introverted Candy didn’t ask to host the company holiday party, but that’s exactly what she’s doing. Will she go from sweet to sour when her best friend not only intrudes on her apartment, but meddles in her love life?
Monique McDonell’s “All I Want for Christmas Is …?” features stressed-out ER doctor, Miranda. Home from Sydney for a Christmas wedding, she discovers that in moving away to find herself, she might have gotten horribly lost. Can she find herself again amidst Chameleon Bay’s sweltering heat, a mountain of baby’s breath, meddling relatives and a hunky barista?
In Susan Murphy’s “Mistletoe and Mayhem,” Callie Ashton’s life in the big city implodes, and she has no choice but to return to her home town of Moonta Bay, South Australia and all that she left there. With old wounds to mend and new faces in town, there might be a little mayhem under the mistletoe this Christmas.
Kate O’Keeffe’s “I’m Scheming of a White Christmas” finds Tilly Grayson in New York City. She’s set on a Christmas caper, out to get back at the boy who once humiliated her—Brady McKinnon, her high school crush. But has Brady changed? And will Tilly realize it before it’s too late?

Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper  

GhostTrapperBookCoverAbout Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper:

Ellie Jordan’s job is to identify and remove unwanted ghosts. Part detective, part paranormal exterminator, Ellie operates out of Savannah, Georgia, the most haunted city in the United States.

When a family contacts her to deal with a disturbing presence in the crumbling old mansion they’ve purchased, Ellie first believes it to be a typical, by-the-book specter, a residual haunting by a restless spirit. Instead, she finds herself confronting an older and more powerful evil that dwells within the walls of the house, stalking the living.

Ellie must quickly unravel the secret history behind the haunting in order to remove the ghost. She is aided by her new assistant Stacey, a recent film school graduate with a gift for capturing images and video of ghosts, and Jacob, a reluctant young psychic. Together, they will try to evict the dangerous spirits of the dead, whose threats to the family grow more terrifying every night.

The Battle of Eiglexx 4-Book Boxed Set  

TheBattleofEiglexx4BookBoxedSetAbout The Battle of Eiglexx 4-Book Boxed Set:

Four books. An entire series that has it all: alien invasion, alien abduction, man versus alien species, revenge, betrayal, apocalypse, post-apocalypse, Armageddon, and a pinch of steamy romance. One low price on Kindle preorder. Good reading that will have you sitting at the edge of your seat.

Ericka Martin has the ability to see into the past, present and future. An esper unlike many others on Earth, her senses warn she should be in Blue Trees Mountain on October 17th, 2022. Like always, her gift doesn’t tell her everything, and when she arrives in the wilderness alongside eight others she finds out why. The truth it’s too frightening and too hard to believe. Soon everything on Earth will change, because aliens are real, and have been living amongst us all this time under the protection of our government leaders.

But these aliens had a hidden agenda far more sinister than we first believed.

No one is prepared when the invasion occurs. It happens from the ground and the sky at the same time from the aliens living with us and those that have newly arrived. Within minutes, militaries bases in every country are destroyed, and so are major bridges. These aliens have taken over our electricity. We no longer have cell phones or means of communication. Our government leaders are running like everyone else. Humanity is being slaughtered in large numbers. Where are our loved ones? Are they still alive? Where have all of the children gone?

We have become the hunted and there’s no place safe to hide.

The aliens didn’t come alone. They brought plants and animals from their planet as deadly as they are to change our world to look how they want it to be. Some of us are turning against each other. Earth is first thrown back into the Dark Ages. Soon wild forests thrive in our abandoned cities, deserts and even the ocean. If that isn’t bad enough, some of the aliens are also turning against each other, releasing amongst the rest of humanity a new breed of species that all you can do when you see them is scream and run. Still, some of us refuse to give up. This is our planet, and we intend on getting it back any way we can. The good thing is Ericka has seen the future. She knows the secret for us all to win. Together we are strong, and we have something to teach any alien who come to our planet in an attempt to claim it as their own; and that lesson is there’s another species in the galaxies to reckon with, and that species is known as Man.

The Battle of Eiglexx. Let the war begin, and may Man live to brag about it for all eternity.

Restless – Memoir of an Incurable Traveller  

scaledsmallAbout Restless – Memoir of an Incurable Traveller:

This is the true story of a young woman and her new husband who, against the better judgement of their friends and families, took off to experience the world for a few months and stayed away for almost ten years. From the trekking paths of the Himalaya to the challenges of China when it first opened its doors to individual tourists, this book describes what it’s really like to get down and dirty with the locals across Asia and Northern Europe – on aeroplanes, buses, trains, and even bicycles.

This is not a how-to book, or a guide book. It is a why-to book.

It will inspire you to take action in your own life, and find more value in the ideas you actually live.
Because they are the only ones that count.

Author Bio:
Heather is not just an author. She is also a poet, a traveler, a photographer, a musician, a free spirit, an adventurer, a thrill seeker, a gym junkie, a cycling nut, a wife and a mother.

She has searched for meaning in our often insignificant and trivial lives across three continents, mostly in Asia, and found various forms of spiritual fulfilment, some very powerful and life-changing. She has experienced some awesome highs and some wretched lows, known scarcity and prosperity in not so equal measures, and learned how precious life really is.

Her new book is a memoir of all her experiences, hilarious and pitiful, gained while dragging herself (and her two young kids) up and down the Himalaya, through the monsoons of Asia and along the bike paths of Europe.

Heather currently lives in Newcastle, Australia with her partner, Iain, and best furry friend, Lea, where she writes, cycles and drinks far too much coffee.



Convicted Witch  

JG1REDUXAbout Convicted Witch:

Trinket’s life is on track to be fabulous…until the moment when her mother screws up yet another magic spell and gets them banished from Earth by a sexy mysterious agent of the A.S.S. (Abnormal and Supernatural Security).

Now she’s in Jagged Grove, a town that doesn’t actually exist, to serve out her sentence by teaching a young witch named Maggie how to be a healer. It could be a piece of cake, except for the fact that Trinket once killed somebody trying to heal them and she vowed to never practice her magic again.Oh, and when she gets there Maggie is dead, and it might be murder.

Now, with the help of a too-sexy werewolf, an elegant vampire and her sweet but unhelpful mother, Trinket has to figure out what happened to Maggie and find a way home before her real life crumbles away to nothing.

Author Bio:
I’m Willow Monroe, and I have a reading problem. And a scribbling problem. I spend my time reading, writing, dancing (sometimes by myself), and poking at the characters in my head to see if they have a story to tell. When they do, I write it down. Then I mess with it, because characters are terrible storytellers. They’re too involved. Too close. Too profoundly damaged by their experience to get the story right. So I help:)

My interests are all over the place – I’m one of those people who will talk your ear off about some obscure subject one day, but then, the next time we meet, I’ll talk your ear off about some other, completely different obscure subject. Right now I’m on a history kick. Last month it was magick. Before that, it was…let me think… oh, yeah! Tea! I now have seventy-four different kinds of tea in my kitchen (gunpowder green is my favorite this week).

That’s how I write, too. I love mysteries and paranormal activity and urban fantasy and romance and *gasp* whatever else pops into my head. I can’t help it. It’s a problem, but it’s the very best kind of problem. When I’m writing, I don’t do the dishes or vacuum. I don’t dust. I don’t always remember to eat. I just write and write and live in my own little fantasy world, where everybody knows my name:)
