After The End
!~!~! Launch sale: $0.99 only until March 12th !~!~!
When book characters from our world get a chance to decide their own fates, there is no guarantee of a happily ever afterlife.
Welcome to the After. Please remain calm.
Long ago, a hidden world was formed as a second chance for book characters once they reach the end of their stories. Now, home to many of our world’s literary heroes, the After is changing while those in power fight among themselves for the right to shape the future.
On a day no one can explain, one girl will be pulled into the middle of a conflict she can’t begin to understand.
The last thing Kadie remembers is getting dumped by the man who she thought was the love of her life. One minute, she was standing brokenhearted in her bedroom. And the next, she finds herself in a whole new world as she learns that everything about her life was merely fiction. But Kadie’s arrival in the After signals a shift in the very fabric of her new world that no one saw coming, and some would rather end her new life before it begins rather than deal with the fallout.
This time, Kadie has the chance to write her own future. But she’s going to have to fight for a happy ending.

A wheelchair-bound Army veteran watches the world from his apartment window, and what he sees terrifies him.

But the storm that holds California in its grip also provides the perfect cover for an even greater threat; an ancient and terrible evil that stalks the city’s residents, mercilessly hunting them within their homes and on the flooded streets. Together, the survivors must fight to escape their drowning city and the creatures that now roam freely under the cover of perpetual darkness.
The Darkening is available for $0.99 for a limited time.

Eugenica
1930’s Britain the Ministry of Social Biology (MoSB) is responsible for improving the health of the nation along eugenic principles. Spring Bank opens to take into care the feeble-minded, the dissolute, the deformed of body, from private and charitable hospitals. Brinley Valentine Husher is the newly appointed Secretary of State for Social Biology and he is determined to make Britain a country made strong through Eugenics. He hosts an Extraordinary Eugenics Congress aboard the new R102 airship to promote his new ministry.
For Grace Fielding and Thomas Morrow the reality of Spring Bank and the MoSB is the threat of enforced euthanasia. They are the young disabled, newly arrived in a facility that is already turning inhuman, and they are attracting the vicious attention of the Red Band trustees; if the Red Bands do not kill them then the dysgenic policies of the MoSB surely will!
There is a secret war being fought in Britain, however, between the Verdure, a shadowy cabal of wealth and political power, and the Indivisibles, a disparate group of individuals opposed to eugenics. Grace, Tom, and their friends become unwitting pawns in this unknown war, racing by car, train, and aeroplane across the country to keep one step ahead of their enemies. For Tom it is a fight for life but for grace it is a struggle to discover who she really is and why she is being pursued so resolutely by the beautiful face of the MoSB; Helene Monroe.

Author Bio:
I am a native of East Yorkshire, England, where I was occasionally schooled, grew up, and spent many a happy year or two. I spent two years in Gwynedd, North Wales, studying Philosophy and English Literature at Coleg Harlech. They were also, for the most part, enjoyable years from what I can remember, well I did go to a party or two!
I have a wide range of interests covering the arts, science, football, food & drink, travelling, contemplating the wonder of life and trying to be a successful author. I should perhaps point out that for me success is measured in a total stranger reading one of my books and enjoying the experience, so to that end I have indeed been successful!
After a spell in Wiltshire I have returned to my native East Yorkshire where I live with my wonderful wife, her two cats, and our son. Our daughter has grown up and flown the nest, but she’s always there when she needs us.
Junkyard Druid by M.D. Massey
About Junkyard Druid by M.D. Massey:
ON SALE FOR .99 CENTS FROM 3/10 THROUGH 3/12/2017!!!
A cursed druid, blackmailed by a faery queen to find a missing magic rock. Let’s just hope they don’t hack the druid off… for everyone’s sake.
– – –
Name’s Colin McCool. Folks call me the Junkyard Druid. I hate that name.
Despite my last name, I’m not “cool” like the other hunters in town. I don’t run an occult bookstore, I’ve never owned a Harley, and I didn’t inherit a family fortune passed down through generations of hunters before me.
And I kind of have this curse on me that’s messed up my life.
So, things have gone to hell since I was cursed. I live in a junkyard, my mentor Finn is a heroin addict, I’ve got the Cold Iron Circle breathing down my neck, and the local Fae Queen Maeve is blackmailing me into doing her dirty work.
Now I’m in way over my head trying to retrieve Maeve’s stolen magic rock, all while helping my friend Belladonna solve a series of murders that may or may not involve the local werewolves.
And did I mention that my girlfriend is a ghost?
If I can just get the Faery Queen’s tathlum back, and help Belladonna solve the murders…
Then I just might live long enough to finish my first year of college.

Author Bio:
I write dark fantasy, paranormal suspense, and urban fantasy novels.
My first series, THEM, is a jaunt through a post-apocalyptic central Texas where the dead walk, and vampires, werewolves and other unsavory creatures roam the night. It has elements of the zompoc genre, dark fantasy, and military survival fiction. My goal with this series was to give readers the same excitement I get from reading books by dark fantasy authors such as Larry Correia, Jonathan Maberry, and Neil Gaiman, as well as post-apocalyptic fiction authors like J.L. Bourne and Max Brooks.
On the other hand, my Colin McCool series falls squarely between urban fantasy and paranormal suspense. Colin’s world is full of magic, mystery, and folklore come to life. I wrote this series because I love reading books by authors like Patricia Briggs, Kevin Hearne, Jim Butcher, and Neil Gaiman. And, like most authors, I try to write stories that I would enjoy reading.
I currently live in the Hill Country near Austin, Texas, which is where much of my fiction is set. Most days you can find me in a local coffee shop or in my office working on my next book, or in my garage pummeling inanimate objects.

Author Bio:
I’m David Byrne.
I’m David A. Byrne.
Forgot the “A” the first time. The “A” is important, because some guy with the name David Byrne had to be in a band called the Talking Heads and make the name somewhat famous before I was born. The nerve. Ok, so I do actually like the Talking Heads, but come on!
Writing is my passion. It keeps me up at night. I get incredibly cranky if I haven’t created something in a while, and not the kind of cranky that can be stimulated with a snickers bar.
It’s dogged me since I was in elementary school. Over the two decades since the creation of the comic book Super Simon & Ralphie by a young fourth grader with a broken leg in snowy Pennsylvania, words have poured out of me onto notepads and electronic devices. Many of the stories still pace around my hard drive, raising a hand and screaming “Pick me, pick me!” every time a new session begins.
While life and work always seem to distract and sidetrack us, dragging us away from the passions we so long to make our life’s work, the callings that never dim or fade away, we keep plugging away in solitude thinking maybe one day lightning will strike and everything will just fall into place. Nah, doesn’t work like that.
So I wrote and wrote and wrote, screenplays, prose, comics, song lyrics, whatever came to mind. Even copy for real estate listings; really, really terrific copy…really it was great. Maybe not so much. Every few years I’d have a push and try to do something with something I had written, but something would get in the way, usually me.
Shady Place was my breakthrough. The one I decided I would write and unleash on the world, almost sounds menacing…
The rest of stuff you need to know about me: Born in Germany. Mostly raised in Florida, I’m still there now. I’ve had 8 cats in my life, but never more than 2 at a time, the current one’s have stripes and are terrorists. Sold real estate for more than a decade. Worked in validation for pharmaceutical companies (bonus points if you know what validation is). Spent way too much time on comic books, collectibles, and fantasy sports. I make movies with my guys at 386films. And love my family and friends.
