The Snow Globe
In the four years since breaking off her engagement, Maggie Kincaid has fled from city to city, seeking to escape her ex-fiancé Michael’s relentless pursuit.

Maggie’s dead grandmother keeps haunting her dreams, warning her in cryptic phrases of the future. Or is it the past?
Determined to end her ordeal one way or another, Maggie confronts Michael, and he disappears, seeming to have tired of the chase. Instead, the hunter has decided to make himself the hunted, in a way that no one could have imagined. Knowing both the depths of his psychosis, and the repeated failures of law enforcement to help her in the past, Maggie decides she has no choice but to go after him alone.
What follows is a chase across five states that takes Maggie from New York to Washington, D.C., and into the deepest corners of her mind. Maggie Kincaid is about to learn that you can be stalked by things far worse than a love gone bad.

Author Bio:
I’ve always seen things in the world with a different view. I love spending time with people that can appreciate a laid back atmosphere. One of my favorite things to do is spend time on my porch with some of my favorite people.
I’m an okay writer, I’m working on it. But it truly is my passion so share some of the crazy shit in my head. I’ve always written in some form or another. December of 2012 I started writing the INK: Series and it kind of stuck. Thank you for tolerating me.
I’m the single mother of five amazing children. Thankfully three of them are grown since I’m the sole caretaker of the two littles. They are the light of my life and I enjoy the gift of having them full time!
I also have two pretty awesome fur babies, Misha and Coda (incidentally, my son named Coda and had not read the Wounded Bird Series).
Misha is my 16 year old shepherd/akita mix. She is always by my side and we don’t tell her any differently, but she thinks she’s the wolf on the cover Moon Crossed. Honestly, she’s a dead ringer for him.
Coda is a…well we really don’t know what he is other than a really great boy. They say shepherd – something, but he looks more like a big bulldog, or goofball as it were. He’s new to the family and we’re so happy to have him.
I grew up in a small little town in Massachusetts, my brother and sister, nieces, nephew, great nieces and nephews all still live there. My dad was my best friend I was his pal and he was mine, so of all the issues I have, daddy issues isn’t one of therm. See, and you thought it was the fat ass that kept me from being a stripper.

Her Vampire Protector
If someone has to die in order to save the citizens of Central City from the heinous experiments of Panthera Laboratories, Oswald Addison would gladly volunteer. But a three-hundred-year-old vampire should never have to choose between dying to save those he has sworn to protect or living with the knowledge he is responsible for their doomed existence—especially when the life of the woman he loves is at stake.
For Selene Kittery, having to hold her own in the male-dominated Vampire Guard is enough of a challenge. With Christmas right around the corner and mistletoe hanging in doorways, controlling the impulse to fall into the arms of the sexiest womanizer to walk the earth makes getting through every night damn near impossible. As the iron-clad grip she’s kept on her dignity weakens, Selene must face the truth about Oz.
Realizing Selene is Panthera’s next target, Oz is forced to share the secret about what happened on the night they met and risk losing her forever.

Mended
She aches for what she lost.
Four years after her husband’s tragic and traumatic end, Ashley remains heartbroken and yearning for the man who left her behind. Desperate for healing and to break her teenage son’s newfound cycle of crime, she leaves the city for a small, sleepy town in southern Alabama hoping for a fresh start. There, she finds Wade, the charming, ever-genuine contractor who’s more than she bargained for.
He is haunted by failure.
Plagued by guilt when his younger brother goes to prison, Wade is consumed by his brother’s bleak future and his own personal demons. There’s no room for love and happiness in his world. That is, until the beautiful widow with sad eyes and a troubled teenage son moves to town.
If only her heart didn’t belong to her past.
If only his past didn’t torment him.
One great love can transform their lives.
They need only to open their hearts.
Witty and heartfelt with just enough suspense and sizzle,
Mended is a story of hope amongst tragedy and the amazing ability of love to heal the deepest of wounds.
Mended is the first book in the contemporary romance series, Sweet Home Dixie.
A story of hope, healing and love in all forms. Critics call it: “heartwarming, genuine, and utterly captivating.”
A Review from The Reader’s Favorite Awards:
When an author’s first novel is as well-written as Kayla Marie’s Mended, you can be sure she’s going to develop a legion of fans just waiting for her next book. What a wonderful, engaging and touching story this is…and that coming from a reviewer who is not a fan of romantic fiction!
So what makes Mended a cut above most romances? It’s the author’s skill at bringing her characters to life so well that readers can see and feel everything they are experiencing, be it the rush of a new love, the heartache of past trauma, or the difficulties of dealing with current issues and people in their lives. In this case, readers meet Ashley, a widow of four years, and her troubled young son, Emmett, who have just moved into the small town of Mason, Alabama. Ashley has moved here in hopes of keeping Emmett on the straight and narrow after some stints in juvenile detention in the big city.
Enter into their lives, Wade…handsome, rugged and kindly but troubled by demons he doesn’t want Ashley or Emmett to know about. It doesn’t take long for Ashley and Wade to be fiercely drawn to each other, but both are too afraid to tell the other how they feel. Finally getting to what they both desire takes up most of the book, but in the meanwhile, Wade’s entrance into Emmett’s life is the best thing that could happen for that boy.
In Mended, Kayla Marie has crafted an excellent story, with realistic characters, life-like dialogue and beautiful descriptions. Emotions run deep and readers identify with the introspection of the two protagonists. Mended is romance, but it’s a lot more: it’s deep, rich with homey values, and raises issues readers may well be dealing with in their own lives. Well done, Kayla Marie. Now, how long before we get to read your next book?
A Review from Sandra’s Book Reviews: (WARNING: CONTAINS SOME SPOILERS)
Ashley misses the sweet boy her son used to be–before the “incident.” Now, “he was a 13-year old boy heading toward a life in prison if she didn’t take drastic action.” (5) What happened that changed him so suddenly? Perhaps the death of his father.
Now, Ashley is forced to leave the city life and move to the country side of Alabama, hoping to keep her son out of trouble and away from the criminal activities. After all, “country life had its benefits: fresh air, wide-open spaces, and less opportunity for hoodlum-induced trouble, all things that could do a boy like Emmett some good.” (9) Still, that may not be enough.
Meanwhile, Wade is also struggling with guilt over his brother’s incarceration.
Ashley and Wade both have the same goal: to knock some sense into their loved ones and save them from their pain, their anger, their life.
One day, Wade catches Emmett rummaging in his garage, and, suddenly, it’s like he can see his brother’s life all over again. He can see the young boy’s bubbling anger and unwavering resentment toward his father. Instantly, the two boys sense a comfort around each other and realize they share the same emotional turmoil. The same goes for Ashley, who feels drawn to the husky, southern gentleman with a ravenous appetite and skilled hands.
I liked how Wade was able to be a strong role model for Emmett. That male bonding can really motivate and enlighten someone. The romantic aspect between Wade and Ashley was also heartwarming, especially when Ashley is still haunted by the final frightening moments of her husband’s life. These characters showed great strength and compatibility, meandering through their inner qualms against the backdrop of luscious country scenery infused with the southern aromas of chicken-fried steak and home-style apple pie.
Warm, touching, and charming, this well-written novel captivates readers with its endearing characters and emotional plights. Mended is all about breaking and repairing; it’s about getting lost and finding your way. Story is enriched with a delicious cornucopia of guilt, pain, and love– powerful ingredients blended for the perfect combination of a sweet and savory tale. You’ll want to eat it up!

Author Bio:
I am first and foremost a loving (and sometimes nagging) wife and a mom of a beautiful little boy, but when I’m not wrangling my toddler or covered in messes, I write and try to manage a career as an indie author.
Quitting my job and leaving the world of adults was a life-changing decision for our family, and although it came with its own difficulties, I would make the decision again in a heartbeat. Being home with my son was precious, but being the person that I am, I still felt like I needed something more. Writing became the “more” I was looking for and I was pleased to discover that I had at least one book in me.
For me, writing is a way to escape the everyday stresses of life and it creates a welcome challenge on a daily basis. I hope to make a career out of it, but even if I don’t succeed, I can be grateful that I’ve pushed myself to achieve my dream to publish my first book.
I’m currently working on the second book in my Sweet Home Dixie Series, Survivor, and it’s scheduled to be released later this year. My Sweet Home Dixie series is made up of standalone contemporary romance novels set in a small, charming town in southern Alabama. All of my books have deep-rooted emotions, realistic and relatable characters full of flaws and personal struggles, and happy endings. I want to show readers that it’s okay not to be perfect and that everyone falls down at some point in their lives. But with love and personal reflection, we can become far better people than we ever thought possible and can often achieve the unimaginable.

Walk-In Investigations: A Paranormal Detective Mystery
About Walk-In Investigations: A Paranormal Detective Mystery:
Dying was the break she needed…
Or so she thought. Homicide Detective Katie Hanson prided herself on being an advocate for the dead. She had no idea dying would take that to a completely new level. A near death experience has added a new skill to her crime-solving abilities… she can channel the dead.
When she returns home from the hospital, she realizes the door to the spirit world remained open… wide open. Now she hears voices, sees things that are not there. These aren’t just any voices. The murder victims of her Department’s cold cases are haunting her. They are loud and relentless and will not take no for an answer. To silence them she must solve the case.
Luckily, she has help from her psychic friend Vicky, who helps her navigate the waters of being a medium.
Katie thinks channeling the dead will close out her cold cases in record time. She is dead wrong. Things are not what they seem. In fact, it made matters worse. Now she has two suspects. Nothing about the investigation is clear-cut. It turns out that a dead person’s memory of the events can be as flawed as the living. The testimony does not match the evidence. She wants to believe the deceased, but the evidence doesn’t support the account. Will channeling the dead lead her to the truth or cause her to arrest an innocent man?

Crazy Town by James T. Morrow
About Crazy Town by James T. Morrow:
Free Download on March 31 and April 1
While driving through Nevada, Ginger and her son, Rusty, give a ride to an old cowboy named Timothy Quigley. Things get a little crazy after that.
First, Quigley claims his dog, Bumper, is inhabited by a creature from outer space. Then Quigley’s nephew, Billy Joe, catches up to them and—as a result—they wind up in jail, including Ginger.
Next Rusty finds out that his wealthy grandmother, Abigail Hardwick, is trying to steal him away from his mom. So, at night, Rusty breaks Ginger and Quigley out of jail with the help of Bumper—yes, that’s right, the dog.
Their escape is followed by an insane chase across three states, involving a very determined sheriff, an angry Billy Joe and a very nasty private detective.
The chase finally leads to San Francisco where they meet: an actress who takes care of a wounded skunk, an artist with blue hair, a cat-loving mandolin player, a Hells Angel in his underwear, and perhaps even a space alien.
Join the hilarious chase as Ginger and Quigley struggle to evade the growing number of people chasing them and keep Rusty away from the clutches of Abigail Hardwick. Oh, and find out if Quigley’s crazy stories of an alien inside Bumper are just nonsense or really true.

Author Bio:
Scott Burkett is a technology executive and serial entrepreneur who resides in the Atlanta, Georgia area with his wife and two daughters. He is the founder and CEO of Incursus, Inc., an Atlanta-based creative design and software development studio.
He served a tour of duty in the U.S. Army during the late 1980s, attending BASIC training and The Armor School at Ft. Knox, Kentucky. Afterwards, he was stationed in Schweinfurt, Germany with the 3rd Battalion, 64th Armored Regiment, which was a part of the 3rd Infantry Division (Mechanized) at the time.
As the bravest Private First Class in the battalion, he once single-handedly fended off an onslaught of Soviet Matryoshka armed only with his Army-issue P-38 can opener. But you won’t find it in his personnel file, as it was marked classified by The Gipper himself!
Despite repeated efforts and attempts on his part, often involving quite a bit of personal creativity and assistance from his buddies, Scott never received a disciplinary Article 15 while in the Army – a fact that still both haunts and boggles him to this day.
The Last Madam, A Legend of the Texas Chicken Ranch by Joy Jones
About The Last Madam, A Legend of the Texas Chicken Ranch by Joy Jones:
Edna Milton never planned to become a madam, but life dealt her some devilishly rough blows beginning at an early age. With very little education to sustain her, she elected to survive the only way she knew how: exchanging pleasure for hard cash, and in tough economic times, for chickens. Instead of merely surviving, Miss Edna chose to thrive, and her skills at organization and customer service – plus setting strict rules for behavior – built a fortune to match her legendary reputation.
When the tide turned against her again, The Last Madam of the Texas Chicken Ranch reinvented herself one more time.

Eclipse
The science fantasy adventure about aliens invading from beyond our galaxy continues in the second high-octane installment in the Dark Tide Trilogy.
Humanity has colonized thousands of planets on the far side of the Milky Way galaxy. They have formed interstellar governments and can travel “shadow space” to reach distant locations faster than light. Their mages can manipulate matter and energy to create or destroy. A tentative peace reigned in the galaxy…until the alien Krai’kesh came.
Veteran Federation navy captain Martin Rigsby and his fleet, feeling confident after their first engagement with the enemy forces, is in for a rude awakening as the full breadth of the Krai’kesh threat becomes known. Victory turns to ash in the mouths of the Federation’s greatest heroes as the Krai’kesh retaliate, leaving more death and destruction in their wake. Captain Rigsby, along with a marine lieutenant, pilot and intelligence officer, must race against time to stop the Krai’kesh before all humanity is eclipsed.
Join the adventure on the far side of the galaxy today!

Gwendolyn has always had the storytelling bug as a writer and performer. After completing 3 performance-based degree programs in 4 years at Illinois State University (with a minor in English), she started her illustrious career as a saloon girl dancing the cancan in upstate New York.
Since then, she has traveled the world telling stories. She spent a year in Amsterdam writing and performing sketch comedy at Boom Chicago with Seth Meyers (Late Night with Seth Meyers), Allison Silverman (Colbert Report), and Greg Scott Shapiro(voice of the Dutch Trump!).
After returning to the states, Gwendolyn spent a year touring North America with Shenandoah Shakespeare: 11 people in 3 vehicles performing 78 roles in 3 plays, and 5 years touring with Sex Signals in an effort to make sex better for all.
Since kinda sorta settling down, Gwendolyn has written for and performed with various sketch groups in the states, including The Future Dead, Improv International, and G2 Productions. She’s currently expanding the Wyrdos Universe, a series of paranormal webisodes, pop novels, and full-length spin-off triologies, and is always looking for new ways to kill people in her Killer on Call series.
Right now she lives in L.A. and has an Irish Jack Russell in her lap trying to help her type. (This persistence is how he ended up getting his Wyrdos origin story, WereHuman, before anyone else.)(He’s the inspiration for Laylea in the Wyrdos Universe.)

Wanted
I waited ten years for the right guy, then four come along at once.
I wasn’t even looking for my Mr Right. I thought I’d found him and he was just waiting for that perfect moment to pop the question. When the time came it was far from perfect The event left me a humiliated, broken-hearted mess.
Still, a person would have to be batshit crazy to do what I’ve done, or I’m about to do.
I’m Orange County bound with all my worldly possessions crammed into five suitcases and an agreement to marry one of four complete strangers.
I just don’t know which one of the four men it’s going to be.
No need to panic.
I have a whole month to make my decision. Who would do such a thing? No sane woman that’s for sure, but then with a name like Seraphim, I was never going to normal
