Remnant by Rob Scott  

feather002About Remnant by Rob Scott

Indians once ruled over all of North America, then Europeans came and weakened them with disease, stole their land and herded them to Oklahoma as the Europeans expanded westward under the theory of Manifest Destiny, a nationalism movement in the 1830’s. Throughout this time period, the Democratic Party ruled developing a set of ideas that formed the foundation of the modern party. Then again in the 1940s through 1960s the nationalism movement became popular again under ruling by the Democratic Party and Indians were again run off their sovereign land, disbursed across America and left seemingly with nothing.

Man & Beast by Michael Jensen  

400x600About Man & Beast by Michael Jensen:

What is the line that separates man from beast?

The year is 1797, and 24-year-old John Chapman is lost on the American frontier with winter falling fast. Near death, he stumbles upon a lone cabin, and the owner, a rugged but sexy frontiersman named Daniel McQuay, agrees to let John winter over.

John and Daniel quickly find themselves drawn to each other, the sex between them unlike anything John has ever known. But as the weeks turn into snowbound months, Daniel begins to change into someone brutish, and the line between man and beast disappears.

With the arrival of spring, John flees, eventually finding refuge in the company of a group of frontier outcasts, including a brash young settler named Palmer. But in the wilds of this savage land, love is not so easily tamed, and John soon finds himself calling upon the raging animal within him to save the man he loves.

Man & Beast, which The Advocate calls “equal parts romance novel and history lesson, heaped with sex and violence,” is the first book in the Savage Lands, a series that celebrates the untold gay history of the American frontier. Man & Beast is for fans of Harper Fox, Jerry Cole, K.J. Charles, and Mary Renault, as well as anyone who enjoys pulse-pounding suspense and romance.

Warriors  

warriors-grayAbout Warriors:

Every wannabe gang banger in a hundred mile radius wants to put the Boppers in the ground after they’re blamed for the assassination of a prominent leader. They have to run, hide, and fight to clear their name and stay alive. Every gang wants them. Gangs that dress like sadistic clowns, gangs that dress like movie serial killers, gangs that dress like cowboys, and gangs that are white but name themselves after Native war-chiefs.

Lex and the Outcasts are responsible for the framing. They discover murder is a slippery slope as they try to finish the job while keeping a dogged detective and competing gangs off their back. But the bodies keep stacking up as they keep getting in the way.

Just for fun, let’s throw in a mysterious cowboy, an ex-drunk backyard brawler, an Irish leprechaun, and the dogged detective that wants to be an underworld kingpin, and see how it all shakes out.

Only Warriors will live through the night.

The Exit Man  

COVER_The-Exit-Man-FINALAbout The Exit Man:

Suicide should come with a warning label: “Do not try this alone.”

If you truly need out and want the job done right, you should consider using an outside expert.

Like Eli.

Eli Edelmann never intended on making a living through mercy killing. After reluctantly taking over his family’s party supply store following his father’s death, he is approached by a terminally ill family friend who’s had enough. The friend, a retired policeman, has an intricate plan involving something Eli has ready access to – helium. Eli is initially shocked and repulsed by the proposal, but soon begins to soften his stance and, after much deliberation, eventually agrees to lend a hand.

It was supposed to be a one-time thing. How could Eli have known euthanasia was his true calling? And how long can he keep his daring underground “exit” operation going before the police or his volatile new girlfriend get wise?

The Underachieving Ovary  

Ovary_FA copyAbout The Underachieving Ovary:

Will there be light at the end of the birth canal?

“Hilarious & heartbreaking”

Part memoir, part dark comedy, and wrapped up loosely as a journal full of TMI and quirk, this personal account is funny, and (sometimes alarmingly) frank. It contains an impressive array of synonyms for ‘vagina’ and it’s certainly NSFW.

If Helen Fielding and Marian Keyes were to go through IVF, and use Caitlin Moran as a surrogate, this book would be their baby.

Dirty Money: A Dark Mafia Romance  

Dirty-Money-400x600About Dirty Money: A Dark Mafia Romance:

Who do I need to con to get HER.

Alex:
I loved being a con man. Especially using my IT background to rig online poker to make money. But my dad got in trouble with the mafia, and now the head of the mafia, Frank Sputafuoco, wants me to do his dirty work. If I don’t get him the millions of dollars he wanted by the end of the week, he said he’ll kill my dad and rat me out to the feds.

He sent Destiny to me to make sure I stuck to the plan and didn’t try to pull one over them.

I didn’t know what she looked like when they first mentioned her to me. But after one look, I knew she had to be mine.

Destiny:
Angelo, the man I was supposed to end up and his ruthless father sent me to Alex to try to squeeze as much money as possible from his clients. I had no intention of doing anything except make sure the job was done.

But then I overheard Angelo talking about having someone be killed by accident. And I knew he was referring to Alex’s dad.

I didn’t know what to do. Or who to trust. I can’t believe he would do something like that!

I got closer to Alex. Closer than I thought I would. But could I really get away from this mafia family I was supposed to join? Would Alex accept me, coming from the mafia? I don’t know. But I knew I was willing to take that chance.

Dirty Money is a full length standalone dark mafia romance novel. There are NO cliffhangers, NO cheating, and a GUARANTEED happy ending!

Author Bio:
My writing typically has a dark twist. I like to dabble in different genres depending on where the story takes me. I hate having to classify writing into a genre, but “they” say I have to in order to market books. So how about: dark fantasy, mystery, horror, young adult, fable, low fantasy, supernatural, magical realism, speculative fiction, suspense.

My first book, a short novel titled Cracking Grace, is a dark fantasy that explores relationships, loss and spirituality.

In the Graveyard Antemortem is my first full-length novel. It is a mystery and suspense novel with a healthy dash of horror. I never wanted to write a mystery novel (and not sure I ever will again), but I did anyway because the story forced me to. I’m super excited for it’s release. ITGA was a winner of Amazon’s reader-powered Kindle Scout program. The e-book (Kindle) is published exclusively for Amazon by Kindle Press. The paperback is published by JournalStone Publishing and will be available from various retailers.

Despite writing dark fiction, I’m a tree-hugging vegetarian into animal welfare issues. I love Halloween, haunted houses and the 80s.

Lippy Kids volume 1. Aden Baker: Notoriety and Anonymity  

About Lippy Kids volume 1. Aden Baker: Notoriety and Anonymity:

In the first installment of the Lippy kids series, Oscar Zurano, a youtuber and co-host of the Lippy Kids podcast, creates a youtube documentary on Aden Baker, a serial killer responsible for orchestrating the Manchester Massacre.

The deranged young man murdered twelve men and women and ended his life with a self-inflicted gunshot but he also left very important clues to his motives, a 141 page typed manifesto and autobiography detailing his thoughts on women, relationships, and the suffering that he has had to endure during his remarkable and affluent life.

In the “documentary”, Oscar analyzes and answers the question everyone wants to know about this massacre: Was Aden Baker made into a monster by an American popular culture that glorified guns, sex and violence or was there a specific, personal answer?

Patch 17  

51FbcyQ4I6LAbout Patch 17:

A new update arrives to the ultra-popular online game, Realm of Arkon. With Patch 17, the level of immersion experienced by players in their gaming capsules has made virtual reality indistinguishable from the real world. But every gamer’s dream becomes a nightmare for Roman Kozhevnikov after he gets confined to Arkon against his will. And not just to Arkon, but to its deadliest zone–Demon Grounds. Playing, or rather living as his character Krian, it’s not just about survival for Roman. He longs to exact revenge for his banishment to the virtual world where the sensation of pain has reached one hundred percent…

Author Bio:
Georgy Smorodinsky.
44 years old, live in Moscow, married with three daughters. Akella has been my game nickname for almost 17 years. My love affair with the MMORPG genre began with Ultima Online, and I played WoW from its release date. My main classes are Warrior, Rogue and Death Knight. Back in vanilla WoW I made Grand Marshall with my warrior, for those who still remember what that is. Throughout WoW’s existence I was present for the slaying of roughly 70-80% of raid bosses; in those encounters, I was the main tank about half the time. In vanilla, I was the guild master of Shadow Angels on the Executus server. The guild had approximately 250 members, with an average of 80 people online every day. Sometimes I led raids to MC and BWL (for those who remember, in vanilla raid groups maxed out at 40). I also spent some time playing Star Wars: The Old Republic. Presently I’m playing Black Desert.
Patch 17 is my first book. I had never written anything before it. I was inspired to start writing after reading D. Rus, A. Vasilev, R. Mikhaylov and V. Mahanenko. I wanted to create a world that lived by the game’s rules, to write a book that even gamers would enjoy reading. The same gamers who killed skeletons at the Vesper graveyard, stormed castles in Lineage 2, battled in Alterac Valley, and spent months chipping away at Nefarian and the Lich King.
Of utmost importance to me are: the logic of the game world, the immersion factor (for readers to feel as if they’re part of this world), and logical behavior of the book’s characters. So far so good, it would seem. Five of the books in the series are finished. Book three is in the process of being published. The first two books have sold out their initial print run, and more are being printed. The reviews from critics and fan feedback grow better with each new book. I sincerely hope that you will get to read book two of the series, The Cursed Princedom, in February.
Oh, and one day I dream of visiting San Francisco, the city where Patch 17 begins. Thank you, everyone, and happy reading.

This novel is an exciting new adult college romance about best buddies, fraternity parties, new experiences and dangerous secrets that will keep you turning the pages. Colin and Karl are best friends and college sophomores enjoying an adventurous social life at a preppy, Upstate New York college. However, when Colin meets beautiful, green eyed Jasmine from California everything in his life is soon turned upside down.

5* “Fantastic”
5* “Entertaining”
5* “Funny”
5* “Beautifully-written!”

5* “The student life is a great background for the growing up that the characters have to do…The book took me down my own memory lane and astonished me with its authentic feel…A real treat.” – Amazon bestselling author, Christoph Fischer

“Murray draws Colin with immediate emotional pungency, and he doesn’t lose the beat…A coming-of-age story with plenty of sting, where love is not only blind, but it blindsides.” – Kirkus Reviews

“With Colin Preston Rocked and Rolled (Davanna), first-time novelist Bert Murray manages a feat that seems to have escaped many writers, mainly women, who try for a Young Adult readership but wind up delivering predictable, generic, forgettable adolescent chick lit. Murray, who delivers here a kind of hard-core Catcher in the Rye, has a good ear for the lingo and speech rhythms of bright 19-year-olds, particularly young men who, despite their vulnerability looking for love, obsess about scoring.” – Joan Baum, Dan’s Papers
