Knight’s Gauntlet: From Slayer to Shephard by C.E. Knight
About Knight’s Gauntlet: From Slayer to Shephard by C.E. Knight:
Dera finds himself drowning in the tides of war that have flooded the land of Atro with the blood of countless generations, weighted by dark regrets and haunting visions of past mistakes. Lost in a vicious cycle that has raged since time immemorial, he is known only as the Slayer.
The right hand of the twisted and inconceivably cruel Magi, humans with the rare ability to harvest energy from the world itself, Dera travels the realm of their influence enforcing their decrees with death and fear. Pushed to atone for his mistakes, Dera seeks redemption and revenge, taking a stand in a bid to remove their corrupting influence. But, even with the best intentions at heart, a terrifying question hangs unanswered.
Can one man truly make a difference in a broken world, or is it beyond any hope for salvation?

Uvi earned her B. A. in Architecture and Town Planning from the Technion in Haifa, Israel and practiced with an innovative Architectural firm, taking a major part in the large-scale project, called Home for the Soldier.

Then, taking a sharp turn in her education, she earned her M.S. degree in Computer Science from the University of Michigan.

Author Bio:
Pete Kahle has been dreaming about writing novels since his teens, but after flirting with the idea in college, he spent 25 years working in a variety of careers before he finally stopped talking about it and started writing.
He has lived in New York, Arizona and Spain, but now he resides in Massachusetts with his beautiful wife Noemi, his two amazing children Zoe and Eli, one dog, two hamsters, two guinea pigs and two frogs.
Pete is a voracious reader of horror, thrillers and science fiction novels and he writes in the same vein. He is also an insane fan of the New York Jets, despite living deep in the heart of enemy territory near Gillette Stadium.
THE SPECIMEN is his first novel, but it certainly will not be his last. In 2015, Pete founded Bloodshot Books, a small press dedicated to cross-genre fiction that mixes the best of horror, science fiction, mystery and thrillers. In October, the first anthology: NOT YOUR AVERAGE MONSTER: A BESTIARY OF HORRORS was unleashed and set loose. Volume 2 was released in February of 2016. Many more titles are coming.
He is currently working on BLOOD MOTHER, a stand-alone vampiric novel – without vampires – due out in late 2017. On the horizon is THE ABOMINATION, Book 2 in the Riders Saga, and most likely a 3rd book in the series with the tentative title of THE HORSEMEN.
Now that the dark closet in his subconscious has been opened, the monsters are clamoring to come out for a visit.
Near But Yet So Far
She’s determined, hardworking, beautiful and rich.
He’s made like a God and successful as hell.
She noticed him ages ago but hasn’t approached him. Focused on running her business, she uses it as an excuse for why her relationships don’t work out.
Needing a new fitness centre to recommend to her customers, she is brought face to face with the guy she’s been fantasising about. He’s even more gorgeous up close, he smells divine and makes her insides quiver. She wants to get to know him but she’s fighting an internal battle.
Will he be the one to break her trend or will she find a reason why it won’t work… again.
***Snippet.
“Coffee?” Nathan offers, turning to face me as he closes the door behind us.
“Please,” I answer quickly, suddenly experiencing dry mouth. His voice is enrapturing. Husky but smooth and I eye him cautiously.
His gaze meets mine. “How do you take it?”
I hold in a groan. For a split second, I wonder what he’d say if I said ‘right here on the table’, but I settle for ‘white, one sugar’ instead.

A Taste for Jazz: The Seven book 3 by Ciana Stone
About A Taste for Jazz: The Seven book 3 by Ciana Stone:
My name’s Conner – although some people call me Rock, for obvious reasons. When The Seven went to ground I came here to Florida. A little fun in the sun, a whole lot of willing female tourists to bed, and guys itching to be trained for MMA.
I’ll admit it was getting a little boring. Then she showed up. Jazz Boudreaux. Five foot ten inches of bad ass, bounty hunter, warrior woman. I figured to have her in my bed inside of 24 hours and then move on to whoever was next in line.
Only Jazz isn’t just a random woman who has appeared in my life. She was sent to find me. To protect me. Seems like there are people who’d like to take what’s mine and are willing to kill to get it.
Now, with a nick-name like Rock and my Shifter abilities, I’m pretty sure I can take care of myself. But she doesn’t seem to think so. And as it turns out Jazz is more than just a bounty hunter turned body guard.
She’s more like me that either of us realized and maybe that explains the attraction. Or maybe it’s something else. Whatever it is, one (or a few) samples of her is not enough. I’m developing a real taste for Jazz.

I’m a country gal at heart and am pretty keen on cowboy and home-grown heroes. Happily-ever-after is something I believe in with my whole heart. Love may be a bumpy road and there ares bound to be some perils along the way but in the end love should win. I try to take that attitude into my writing and think that love, hope and laughter are some of the best medicine there is. Along with books.
I love to hear from readers and the most important thing I can say is – “thank you. To every reader who has spent his or her hard-earned reading dollars on a Ciana Stone book, thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

Quantum Lace ~ Book One
About Quantum Lace ~ Book One:
Once upon a time… Sounds like a simple enough way to start a story – and particularly a story about time travel, but what does it mean, ‘once upon a time’? What is time?
Clocks can tell us what time it is, but they cannot tell us what time is!
The story of time travel you are about to read, while a work of fiction, is largely based on real science, real people and real events. Where fact leaves off and fiction begins is for you to decide.
Do a search on just about anything in this book and make up your own mind what is ‘real’.
For instance:
> Morgan Robertson really did publish a book on the sinking of an ‘unsinkable ship’ that hit an iceberg fourteen years before Titanic;
> The edition of “The Time Machine” published by Holt, really did misspell Wells’ name as H.S. Wells and his address listed on the letter sent to Bridgit, was Wells’ actual address at the time;
> Lord Brassey really did go off to Australia to become Governor of Victoria and his first wife did die on board the ‘Sunbeam’;
> The quotes from Tesla’s presentation are actually verbatim of the words he uttered in 1892;
> and the quantum physics mentioned is all real scientific fact as we know it today…
In this first book of the Quantum Lace series, Lady Bridgit Darnell’s life in 1895 in England is interrupted with what she initially thought was merely a strange dream – a dream in which she meets present-day Markus in South Carolina who tells her not only that quantum physics has shown time-travel is possible, but he outlines how he himself has already been able to travel through time.
Awaking back in what she recognizes as her own time and place, Bridgit is convinced the vision must have been a fantasy of her own making UNTIL an event occurs that proves the dream was in fact real, and the ripple effect of which alters Bridgit’s life forever…

Let There Be Light – A true story
About Let There Be Light – A true story:
On one of those magically white winters nights, my mother took me in her arms and shut the doors behind her. We left my drunken father in the name of a better life. And the name of that better life was Tom, a local gangster with the face of the devil himself. The next thing I saw was my mother’s bloody face bashed into the ground and teeth scattered around her lifeless body. I looked at him and thought to myself – PLEASE, DON’T KILL ME.
“The intensity, the drama and harsh reality will leave you gasping.”
