Scavengers by David J. West
About Scavengers by David J. West
An untouchable gunslinger. A lost hoard of gold. A host of brutal adversaries. What could possibly go wrong?
Deputy Marshall Porter Rockwell can’t be harmed by a bullet or a blade. As long as he never cuts his hair, Rockwell is free to right wrongs and chase criminals without worrying about the consequences. But when he learns about a map to a mysterious cache of gold, he’s embroiled in a battle for the treasure with enemies lining up on every side.
As outlaws, villains, and a surprisingly formidable Ute chieftain stand between the Deputy Marshall and the gold, bullet and blade might not be what finally take Rockwell down. It could be plain old bad luck…
Scavengers is a Western with colorful characters and wit straight out of a Tarantino flick. If you like mixing horror with your pulp, strong and admirable heroes, and weird Westerns, then you’ll love the first book in David J. West’s Porter Rockwell series.

Author Bio:
When Eliott McKay was forced to abandon her dreams of becoming the tooth fairy, pursuing a career as a writer seemed the next logical choice. Her writing quickly started drawing attention and during her university studies, one professor had so much faith in her that he put together a curriculum to allocate time for her to write.
Like all free spirits, she had the desire to travel and spent a number of years exploring the world with nothing but her wits and trusty luggage, living out her personal mantra, “Spreading joy, writing books.” Since returning to the states, she has continued to engage in random acts of kindness and doling out smiles to unsuspecting strangers. Throughout all this, she’s never given up on being a writer, nor shied away from hard work, and can’t wait to bring her work to the world for all to enjoy.

The Bench by Rebecca Morean
About The Bench by Rebecca Morean:
“Funny and sexy, a great read! Perfect after the first book. I love Katie and Biron!”
Katie Wickham is suddenly single with two children, a minivan, and a torn heart. Her cheating husband is having her followed by a private eye in the hopes of placing her squarely in some legal crosshairs. But the PI, Ben Biron, a not-so-happy-with-his-job kind of guy, and doesn’t want the case. He’s sworn off of love. He’s seen it all: broken hearts and broken marriages. His mother just moved back in with him, his life is stagnant, and his partner gets all the gripping cases. But when he makes accidental contact with the target, something in him begins to shift.
From Katie’s point of view, she has just met the perfect man. He seems to know everything about her and their interests are beyond mutual. He’s handsome, sexy, and kind, but she’s too tender from betrayal to begin another relationship.
Katie is not at all what Biron expected, and Biron may not turn out to be what Kate needs. When Katie’s old Peace Corps flame shows up, Biron has to work fast to mend his own heart. And when Katie finds out why he is so “perfect,” all seems lost. Biron knows exactly what he wants, but not who he is. Katie is sure of herself and refuses to be his savior. Can they work it out?

I discovered I love writing about love. I’ve published literary short stories, serious novels, even mysteries (under Abbey Pen Baker), but I never took the dive into romance until last year. I have found the writing fun nad challenging in ways I did not expect. And the readers? Fabulous! I love it when someone writes and says, “I read both your romances in two days…when’s the next one coming out?” As a single mom who raised four children, my heroines are also single moms (at least so far), who live very real lives. Like me, they have kids, pets, jobs, and are ready for something more. I come up with ideas for stories out on my runs, in the shower (yes, it is true), and in the car driving to campus. (I teach writing.) I hope your enjoy my books!

Author Bio:
Well met, fellow reader. I write romance stories set in mid-century (specifically 1930-1970) and my fantasy world, Mirovinia. My work is inspired heavily by American, Slavic, and Indigenous histories. I have an appreciation for mythology, nature, and the philosophical lessons in life. Like most writers, I keep to myself and spend hours creating characters, plots and stories meant to entertain and inspire. I live up a mountain in the Alaskan Chugach, where the wilderness is rugged and the weather temperamental. I look forward to sharing my stories with you.
Happy reading!
Goodbye, Mr. Descartes
Goodbye, Mr. Descartes is a new novel by the author A.J. Walsh. It follows the life of the main protagonist, Carter de Sénse, through a series of twenty-four intertwining chapters. Twelve of these chapters are travel narratives, written in the first person, as Carter journeys around the world with his partner, Ana, visiting a different part of the globe in each chapter. You get a sense of the wonder they feel as well as becoming embedded in the nuances of their relationship courtesy of a series of Platonic dialogues that run the course of each chapter. These conversations that Ana and Carter engage in attempt to get at the heart of issues that face us all, from our destruction of the natural environment, our survival motivations, our ethical decision-making process and our collective purpose as a species. As they travel, Carter becomes emboldened by his own theories and ideas on how to solve some of these issues, even though he is for all intents and purposes a “non-expert”. He does however think that he has discovered a critical flaw in the way society operates and has a truly radical solution, one that would also require an enormous paradigm shift in the way society functions. These travel narrative chapters are also deliberately out of chronological order. The rationale behind this is because of the way they intertwine with the other twelve chapters. Those chapters are written in the third person by an unknown observer of Carter’s life. They are also a chronological description of key events in his life. These chapters become more detailed as we move towards an unknown “present” moment when Carter reaches a crossroads in his life. He finds himself in state of psychological turmoil dealing with dramatic and emotionally devastating events in his personal life. These events also coincide with a shattering change to his worldview. He suddenly starts experiencing strange coincidences and events in his life that he cannot rationalise with his scientific training and materialistic views until one day he has an epiphany that changes everything. The world that he thinks he has lived in all his life isn’t that world at all – it’s a shadow dancing on a wall, tricking him into believing it is real. Carter’s earlier theories about a critical flaw in society pale into insignificance with the true magnitude of what he has discovered. Everything is, as Carter discovers, connected. Yet having this knowledge is a cruel double-edged sword as he comes to realise that he can’t tell a soul.
Goodbye, Mr. Descartes is available as paperback or ebook on Amazon worldwide. You can download it for free from Amazon as an eBook between the 27th and 29th of January 2017.

Author Bio:
A.J. Walsh was raised in a small town on the English coast. Although he displayed a lot of promise in the creative arts during his formative years, he ended up with a science degree – the reasons for which have eluded him ever since. He developed a wanderlust early on, and soon after University he backpacked around East Africa and then somehow ended up on an oil rig in the South China Sea with his arms deep in annulus mud twelve hours a day. This qualification enabled his to escape from the bitterly cold winters of Old Blighty and emigrate permanently to antipodean shores. He then managed to travel the world several times, during which he started to get the idea to write a novel about someone as hopelessly lost as he was trying to figure out what it was all about. Many years later, he finally finished the novel and now happily resides a stone’s throw from The Great Barrier Reef with his marvellous wife and three rug rats. He’s planning to travel again, but needs your cooperation, something which a few good reviews and healthy book sales will enable. He is eternally grateful for all of the gifts of his life so far.
