Rough Terrain (Vista Falls #1)
About Rough Terrain (Vista Falls #1):
Wes Davis left Vista Falls when the girl he loved got pregnant and decided they were too young and irresponsible to be parents. He signed the adoption papers, but he never stopped loving the baby he’d never met. Years passed, success found him, but there was a hole in his heart and life that he knew only one thing could fill. His son.
Sage Breville was stunned to learn her ex-boyfriend was back in town. With him came a rush of memories and questions about the kind of life they could have had if she’d been brave enough to stand up to her parents years ago and raise the child she’d so desperately wanted with the man she loved.
There were some wounds time couldn’t heal, and Sage was convinced there was no way back for them. But did Wes see it her way or was he ready to forgive… and move on?

I wrote my first novel in college at the University of Wyoming, played lead guitar in Pinky’s bar as a member of “Suzy Q and the Quad City Ramblers,” Got an English degree, then an engineering degree, worked a lot, got married to Traci (probably the best thing to ever happen), wrote several books with Raymond Dean White, retired recently from said engineering and started writing again.
Now I write cheerfully demented novels about con artists and overweight PIs, play guitar a lot (on a very well used and loved 1954 Martin D-18 (for those of you who have guitar lust—centerfold picture available on request) and generally am having the best retirement ever.
Battlecry by T. Jackson King
About Battlecry by T. Jackson King:
Jacob Renselaer arrives in the Kepler 22 system, carrying a wasp ambassador as a sign of humanity’s hope for an end to its first interstellar war. But that hope crumbles as Jacob, his girlfriend Daisy, ambassador Hunter One and Marine chief O’Connor watch unknown aliens drop thermos-nukes on the wasp colony world, killing wasp larvae and adults. These new aliens pursue Jacob’s ships and a fleeing wasp ship. To Jacob’s horror, the new aliens attack with mobile balls of antimatter! Facing sure death, Jacob retreats to the Kepler 63 wasp colony world where Hunter One demands that he and his fleet defend a colony with 23 million wasps. Where does his duty lie? Must he fight and risk lives and ships to protect their former enemies? Or will help arrive from his father the admiral, or from other wasps? When the shark-seal aliens arrive at Kepler 63, battles happen that threaten the lives of all three peoples—human, wasp and amphibian. Can Jacob and his friends win a fight where they are badly outnumbered? Or will a fight to defend wasp civilians end in the destruction of the Battlestar Lepanto and all of Jacob’s hopes for a future with Daisy? All that is certain is that the amphibian aliens are relentless, their mobile antimatter balls are something no ship can escape and communication is impossible with creatures who talk with skin color patterns! This is a 91,000 word SciFi novel of combat in space between the amphibian Pod aliens and Humans allied with the Swarm, a wasp-like species. New battles happen in the Kepler 22 star system, a place with known exo-planets and site of a wasp colony. The story is told from six point of view characters. Those POVs are Jacob, his girlfriend Daisy, Hunter One the wasp ambassador, Richard the Marine, Rebecca the captain of the cruiser Chesapeake, and Pod Leader, the leader of amphibian aliens who have nuke-bombed wasp civilians in order to claim their world for a place to raise the young of his own species. The conflict begins when Jacob and Hunter One discover the killing of wasp colonists on a world of Kepler 22. Jacob’s fleet barely fights off an attack in which the Pod uses mobile antimatter balls. The fighting continues at Kepler 63, home to 23 million wasp colonists. Jacob faces a terrible choice–must the four ships under his command fight to defend wasp colonists, or should they flee and thereby abandon any chance for ending humanity’s war with the wasps? The decisions made by Jacob, Pod Leader and other members of Jacob’s fleet will determine the future of three species.

Author Bio:
T. Jackson King (Tom) is an Amazon bestselling science fiction author whose popular series include the Vigilante, Assassin, Escape, Aliens, Brother, and Retread Shop series. Opening novels for each of these series are STAR VIGILANTE, STELLAR ASSASSIN, ESCAPE FROM ALIENS, EARTH VS. ALIENS, LITTLE BROTHER’S WORLD and FIRST CONTACT. He is a lifelong reader of SciFi stories and his favorite authors have included Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke and Andre Norton. Outside of SciFi he has enjoyed the novels of Rudyard Kipling, Charles Dickens, Edgar Allan Poe and Arthur Conan Doyle. He has degrees in Archaeology and Journalism.
Tom began writing SF novels at age 38, when he discovered he had read all the Human-Alien first contact or encounter novels in his local library. So he decided to write his own, thanks to an overactive, very visual imagination. Those early years produced FIRST CONTACT and RETREAD SHOP. When the New York City publishing houses ignored his later novels because they had no Hollywood tie-in, he went to several small presses, then began self-publishing as an Indy author in 2011.
Several of his novels have hit Amazon super-bestseller status in Space Opera. They were STELLAR ASSASSIN, EARTH VS. ALIENS and most recently BATTLESTAR, the first novel in his StarFight series. He loves that readers in Britain, Canada and Australia are some of his most loyal readers!
Before becoming a bestselling author, Tom worked as a federal archaeologist and newspaper journalist. Those jobs paid the bills for his three kids and wife Leslee.
However, college years spent in Paris and in Tokyo led Tom into antiwar activism, hanging out with some Japanese hippies and learning how often governments lie to their citizens. The latter lesson led him and a college buddy to publish the Shinjuku Sutra English language underground tabloid in Japan in 1967. That was followed by helping shut down the University of Tennessee at Knoxville in 1968 and a bus trip to Washington D.C. for the Second March on Washington where thousands demanded an end to the Vietnam War.
Temporary sanity returned when Tom worked in a radiocarbon lab at UC Riverside and earned an MA degree in Archaeology from UCLA. His interests in ancient history, ancient cultures and journalism got him several government agency jobs that led him to roam the raw landscape of the Western United States.
A funny thing happened on the way to normality. When RETREAD SHOP was published by Warner Books in 1988, he discovered he could not stop writing. It was off to the writing races and Tom’s many voyages of imaginative discovery have led to 25 published novels, a book of poetry, and a conviction that when Humans reach the stars, we will find them crowded with space-going Aliens. We will be the New Kids On The Block! This theme appears in much of Tom’s short fiction and novel writing.
Tom lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA and hangs with a group of smart and tolerant Westerners. Divorce taught him to smile a lot and to work at being a Nice Guy. Which earned him the love of his wife Sue. Still, he is pretty weird. Has been since fourth grade when he began reading SciFi. Since then, he and Authority have rarely been in agreement.

Secret to Changing Your Life by Jason M. Breshears
About Secret to Changing Your Life by Jason M. Breshears:
There’s a ton of self-help books at every trash dump in every major city. You’ve seen them, read them and they didn’t work. There’s a reason for this. A single fact about how we view the world around us that remains unmentioned by these authors.
This explosive book shows exactly what mental practice was employed by the author that fundamentally CHANGED EVERYTHING in his life. From inside a prison cell with no resources, no money, very limited access to anything he needed, he changed a single thing about how he perceived the world around him and suddenly received help from the most unusual places, secured four publishing contracts as a convicted felon still in prison, received not one, but THREE paroles after 26 years and was released at 43 years old. He has only been out of prison 59 days and has already released four more books on Amazon with a California publisher about to release another of his nonfiction works. This man herein shares with you a secret that OPENED EVERY POSSIBILITY in his life, forever altering the dynamics of his existence for his benefit. He claims that he is not special in any way, that ANYONE can do what he did and declares that what he reveals in this book will PROVE IT.

Author Bio:
All my life I thought myself independent from the masses, a rogue, tough guy making my own way. How deceived I was. After decades of living the wrong way, in a passive state of reactive impulses I was shocked into being STILL. For the first time in my life I observed what was occurrring around me, what had been transpiring all around each one of us our entire life. I WOKE UP and this simple act CHANGED MY FREQUENCY. No longer in resonance with the negative, and requiring NO EFFORT ON MY PART, I broke through the condition of bondage and entered a realm where EVERY DAY things go my way. Now no one nor any thing stands as a barrier between me and the things I seek to do and experience. So profound is this change that I often infect those I’m closest contact to and they too enjoy the benefits, profiting by my contact. Do not deny yourself that which is rightfully yours. Start LIVING. What I will show you can be found nowhere else. -Jason M. Breshears

Playing The Game, York Bombers #1 by Lisa B. Kamps
About Playing The Game, York Bombers #1 by Lisa B. Kamps
Harland Day knows what it’s like to be on rock bottom: he was there once before, years ago when his mother walked out and left him behind. But he learned how to play the game and survived, crawling his way up with the help of a friend-turned-lover. This time is different: he has nobody to blame but himself for his trip to the bottom. His mouth, his attitude, his crappy play that landed him back in the minors instead of playing pro hockey with the Baltimore Banners. And this time, he doesn’t have anyone to help him out, not when his own selfishness killed the most important relationship he ever had.
Courtney Williams’ life isn’t glamorous or full of fame and fortune but she doesn’t need those things to be happy. She of all people knows there are more important things in life. And, for the most part, she’s been able to forget what could have been–until Harland gets reassigned to the York Bombers and shows back up in town, full of attitude designed to hide the man underneath. But the arrogant hockey player can’t hide from her, the one person who knows him better than anyone else. They had been friends. They had been lovers. And then they had been torn apart by misunderstanding and betrayal.
But some ties are hard to break. Can they look past what had been and move forward to what could be? Or will the sins of the past haunt them even now, all these years later?

Author Bio:
Lisa B. Kamps is the author of the best-selling series The Baltimore Banners, featuring “hard-hitting, heart-melting hockey players” (USA Today), on and off the ice. Her Firehouse Fourteen series features hot and heroic firefighters who put more than their lives on the line. She’s introduced a whole new team of hot hockey players in her newest series, The York Bombers.
In a previous life, she worked as a firefighter with the Baltimore County Fire Department then did a very brief (and not very successful) stint at bartending in east Baltimore, and finally served as the Director of Retail Operations for a busy Civil War non-profit.
Lisa currently lives in Maryland with her husband and two sons (who are mostly sorta-kinda out of the house), one very spoiled Border Collie, two cats with major attitude, several head of cattle, and entirely too many chickens to count. When she’s not busy writing or chasing animals, she’s cheering loudly for her favorite hockey team, the Washington Capitals–or going through withdrawal and waiting for October to roll back around!
