Land of Gods  

About Land of Gods:

Narcel’s enslavers took everything from him: his family, the woman he loves, and his freedom. All he has left is his will to live and a burning hatred for his masters.

Years of living and training with the Mawtu changes Narcel. Once his sworn enemies, he now considers these men friends and brothers-at-arms. He’d be the perfect warrior if he could stop swooning over Kaire, the girl of his dreams.

Battle looms on the horizon and the Mawtu army faces its toughest challenge yet. Will Narcel side with his enslavers and lead their army to victory, or will he go after the girl and betray the army that took everything from him?

Fast-paced action, a love triangle, and bitter revenge. As Game of Thrones is based on the Wars of the Roses, Land of Gods is the first book in an epic fantasy series based on Ancient Greek wars.

Under The Blood Red Sky by William Ellis  

About Under the blood red sky by William Ellis:

August 24th 2010 San Fernando, Tamaulipas, Mexico. A horrific discovery of seventy-two bus passengers, kidnapped from the main highways and murdered in cold blood, their bodies scattered on a deserted farm. The inhuman act shocked the nation, but this was only the beginning, as the following months saw the rise of one of the most powerful and brutal drug cartels in Mexico. With impunity, they swept through the region, while the authorities failed to act.
Felipe ‘Flip’ Hernandez is a handyman who lives with his two young sons in the eastern barrio of San Fernando. Haunted by the disappearance of his wife and wracked with guilt, he is forced to navigate his way through the corruption and violence that blighted his homeland, in the hope of discovering the truth.
The story moves through the killing fields and cartel occupied barrios of Tamaulipas, intertwined with children who bear witness to the bloodshed of Mexico’s drug war, a mother who undertakes a quest for justice when tragedy strikes. The teenagers who seek indoctrination into the drug cartels, a young El Salvadorian survivor, and a psychotic and bloodthirsty child soldier of the Los Zetas.
The story moves toward a conclusion that is apocalyptic and even more shocking than the mass murder that came before it. Based upon true events, the story moves between tragedy, violence but eventually towards hope. The good people of Mexico endure such hardships only 100 miles from the United States and under the blood red sky.

Currently available on Amazon Kindle for $1.23 reduced from $3.99 until March 15th 2017.

Author Bio:
I currently live in the United Kingdom with my wife and children. After college I joined the Royal Navy where I served in operational theatres such as Kosovo and Iraq.
After concluding my service I then went into Law Enforcement making my way to the rank of Detective.
I love writing and especially punchy and thought provoking stories. I am currently in the planning stages (which means pondering) my next book. The subject matter within my first book Under the blood red sky is more relevant than ever. This is my first book and contains certain personal elements to me. It was written from the heart, which I am sure will be conveyed. Much research went into capturing time and place, as well as the dangerous and explosive climate in Tamaulipas at that time. The characters are purely fictitious, but the one thing I sought was originality when committing them to the story. Rather than the stock macho men of old, I can assure the reader that the likes of Maria, the grieving mother who rises up against the Cartels and Rojo, the psychotic and sadistic child soldier will stay with the reader long after they finish the book. As well as being a story about hardship and families struggling under the turmoil, there are a number of twists and turns throughout.
Reading novels that pack a punch, my favourite authors and inspiration comes from the likes of James Elroy and Cormac McCarthy.
Aside from the writing I enjoy keeping myself as fit as anyone who both works and has a young family can. I love being involved with my son’s football (Soccer for my American cousins) which involves assisting with his team and cheering him on from the standard wet and windy sidelines.
I hope you enjoy what is my first novel as much as I did writing it.



Fashionably Dead by Robyn Peterman  

fashionable deadAbout Fashionably Dead by Robyn Peterman

Vampyres don’t exist. They absolutely do not exist.

At least I didn’t think they did ‘til I tried to quit smoking and ended up Undead. Who in the hell did I screw over in a former life that my getting healthy equates with dead?

Now I’m a Vampyre. Yes, we exist whether we want to or not. However, I have to admit, the perks aren’t bad. My girls no longer jiggle, my ass is higher than a kite and the latest Prada keeps finding its way to my wardrobe. On the downside, I’m stuck with an obscenely profane Guardian Angel who looks like Oprah and a Fairy Fighting Coach who’s teaching me to annihilate like the Terminator.

To complicate matters, my libido has increased to Vampyric proportions and my attraction to a hotter than Satan’s underpants killer rogue Vampyre is not only dangerous . . . it’s possibly deadly. For real dead. Permanent death isn’t on my agenda. Avoiding him is my only option. Of course, since he thinks I’m his, it’s easier said than done. Like THAT’S not enough to deal with, all the other Vampyres think I’m some sort of Chosen One.

Holy Hell, if I’m in charge of saving an entire race of blood suckers, the Undead are in for one hell of a ride.

*****
“Uproariously witty, deliciously provocative, and just plain fun! No one delivers side-splitting humor and mouth-watering sensuality like Robyn Peterman. This is entertainment at its absolute finest!” ~ Darynda Jones, NY Times Bestselling Author of the Charley Davidson Series

Mated to the Beast  

About Mated to the Beast:

After two of her brothers are killed in battle with the relentless alien menace that threatens the entire Interstellar Coalition, Sarah Mills volunteers to join the fight in an effort to bring home her last surviving brother. When she is mistakenly processed as a bride rather than a soldier, however, she rejects the match. But her mate has other ideas…

Dax is an Atlan warlord, and like all the men of his race, a primal beast lurks within him, ready to emerge in the fury of battle or the heat of the mating fever. When he learns that his bride has chosen to fight on the front lines rather than share his bed, he sets out to track her down and take what the beast demands.

Sarah is none too pleased when a massive brute claiming to be her mate arrives suddenly in the midst of a battle, and her displeasure turns to fury when Dax’s presence disrupts her mission and leads to the capture of her brother. But after her commanding officer refuses to authorize a rescue mission, Sarah’s best hope of saving the only family she has left is to accept Dax’s offer to help, even if that means giving herself to him in return.

Though he is thrilled to have located his wayward bride, Dax quickly discovers that Sarah is nothing like the meek, submissive women of his world. If he wants her, he will have to tame her, with a firm hand applied to her bare bottom if necessary. But Dax doesn’t just want Sarah, he needs her. Can she satisfy the fearsome beast within him before he loses control completely?

Publisher’s Note: Mated to the Beast is a stand-alone book set in the same world as Assigned a Mate, Mated to the Warriors, Claimed by Her Mates, and Taken by Her Mates. It is an erotic romance novel that includes spankings, sexual scenes, elements of BDSM, and more. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.

Grace hates the snow, loves the mountains (yes, that’s a problem) and wishes she could simply download the stories out of her head instead of being forced to type them out. Grace lives in the western US and is a full time writer, an avid romance reader and an admitted caffeine addict.

HUGH MADDOX:

I’ve had enough of the crap that goes along with being a pro MMA fighter.
After what happened that night – I vowed to leave the hell hole I built for myself and never look back.
Living in the woods in a reclusive cabin was just what I needed and I was doing just fine for years.

SAM WASHINGTON:

After catching my a## hole of a boyfriend with another girl – I had enough and was ready for an escape.

Mysterious. Rugged. And oozing with sex appeal.
His touch ignites a passion in me that I never even knew existed.
While my ex couldn’t find a G spot if it hit him in the face, I have no doubt that Hugh knows just how to use the wood he’s packing.

He plans for peaceful living with his son, but trouble soon finds him as his new co-workers begin showing up dead outside of his classroom.

The Sheriff’s Office is stumped, the teachers are scared, and hidden rifts within the county begin surfacing. The town turns to August for help, which he is compelled to provide after learning that evidence suggests he will be the next victim.

Seeds Of A Woman: Nourishment From The Soil  

About Seeds Of A Woman: Nourishment From The Soil:

This book is dedicated to Women around the world, I believe it’s a time to be reminded of how Women used to be, and to honor the Old Fashion Woman. Somehow, we have became a stereotype, that has been totally turned upside down. We must not forget how significant we are in this world, and how to nurture one another, to uplift each other, to not degrade one another, but to compliment each other. I understand that times have changed, and there’s more Women in the workforce, but there’s so many amazing values we hold

The Game Begins  

About The Game Begins:

“LOVED IT. I love mythology, but not as much as I loved this book. It’s different than any book I’ve ever read.” – Ethan

New York Times bestselling author, Victoria Danann dishes up a stunning new teen/young adult series like nothing else.

When it came to the attention of the old ones that their creations, the Earth gods, had been playing games at the expense of humankind for millennia, they put a stop to it. But the rebellious gods were far too addicted to their games to give them up. After several summit meetings, they voted to use their own children as players and locate the playing field in the most treacherous environment in the known universe… high school.

To make it even more interesting, they would strip their children of their memories and withhold the rules of the game. Like the other players, sixteen year old Ever thinks she’s an ordinary kid until she transfers to R. Caine. When mystery and mystic collide, she’d better wake up to her powers fast.

SUITABLE FOR MOST TEEN and YOUNG ADULT READERS.
