About The House on the Shore by Victoria Howard

Heartbroken Anna MacDonald leaves Edinburgh to find peace at the edge of a Scottish loch. Safely ensconced in her late grandmother’s cottage, she can finally heal her heart and write the novel that has burned inside her for years.

Her peace is short-lived. When debonair artist Luke Tallantyre’s yacht gets stranded in the loch, he seeks help at the nearest residence – Anna’s croft. She finds him annoying. He instantly dislikes the stunning but cranky hermit.

But there’s indisputable evidence that a hit man is on the prowl in the village. Is he after Anna? And what is Luke keeping from her that could deepen the danger? Against their wills, they join forces and embark on an adventure neither ever imagined…including a chance at true love.

About Fatemarked by David Estes

450+ page epic fantasy now only $0.99 for a limited time!

In the spirit of fantasy epics like George R.R. Martin’s A Game of Thrones and Brandon Sanderson’s The Way of Kings, The Fatemarked Epic promises immaculate world building, an ancient prophecy, a mysterious source of magic, a diverse cast of characters, war, political intrigue, and romance.

The Hundred Years War has ravaged more than three generations of kings, queens, and citizens across the Four Kingdoms. Corrupt rulers dominate. Religious intolerance runs rampant. The cycle of vengeance continues to turn with the seasons.

An ancient prophecy by a legendary oracle has been long forgotten. The prophecy promises the return of peace to the Four Kingdoms on the backs of a chosen few, the fatemarked, individuals marked at birth and blessed with specific magical powers. One shall be the Kings’ Bane, and will bring death to the warmongering rulers, using fear to force peace; another shall be the Peacemaker, bestowed with the rare ability to heal. Opposite sides of the same coin, dark and light, death and life, the Kings’ Bane and the Peacemaker are responsible for the fate of an entire continent.

As they fight to achieve their destinies, adversity will hinder them in every realm: in the frozen north, assassination attempts and a brutal power struggle; in the holy west, a vicious queen and her self-righteous army of warriors; in the mysterious iron-clad forest of the east, revenge and glory rule the day; and in the southern empires of Calyp and Phanes, maturing dragons, slaves, and a civil war.

To truly fulfill the oracle’s prophecy of peace, both the Kings’ Bane and the Peacemaker, as well as the other fatemarked, will need to overcome those who seek to destroy everything in their pursuit for power.

The first book in an epic saga years in the making, Fatemarked will sweep you away to another land, another time, when magic and dragons, kings and queens, and courage and valor still meant something.

About The Broken People From God’s Land:

Just like everyone else in that small, remote and beautiful village, Mohammed was living a simple, happy and peaceful life with his wife and eight children. They had their own farmlands, goats and water for themselves and life was good. That was of course until a group of strangers suddenly appeared at the village and nothing remained the same again. With time, more outsiders arrived and before too long, they were almost everywhere. New settlements were built, new jobs were created and the villagers welcomed them with open arms as they were their own people. The outsiders were smart, educated and powerful people with higher connections. As they had come with well-thought-out plans and had no intention whatsoever of leaving soon, they were here to stay permanently. While the systematic schemes worked perfectly as planned, the simple and naive villagers hadn’t even had the slightest clue about it, and by the time they had realized it, it was already too late. It was not only their farmlands, goats and water that were gone but also their freedom too and the next thing the villagers found themselves was being barricaded in a restricted place like caged animals. With time, the resentment, hatred and bitterness between the two sides grew in great deal and the fighting persisted on indefinitely. How the villagers fought with the superior enemy? What happened to their lands and water that were supposed to be a gift from the God? How Mohammed survived through the infighting? What happened to his goats, olive trees and family? And what happened to the hope, dream and future of those innocent villagers? What happened to their dignity? What happened to humanity? This is not only a work of fiction by itself, just take a look around yourself and you will find reality more closer than you can ever imagine! It’s not only Mohammed’s story anymore, it’s our story!

About Migraine Management: How to Reduce Anxiety, Manage Pain and Prevent Attacks by Holly Hazen:

SPECIAL: MY NEW BOOK WILL BE FREE FROM 6/1 – 6/4TH!

Migraine attacks can be frightening, intensely painful and enormously disruptive. They can also be ruthless and soul destroying.

If you’ve been struggling to cope with migraines for years, it’s all too easy to feel completely hopeless, and to despair of ever finding happiness and peace in your life again.

This book will help you. The Migraine Management Book is the complete toolkit you need to reduce anxiety, manage pain and prevent attacks.

Whether you’re newly diagnosed, or you’ve been suffering for years, you’ll find tons of practical, accessible and easy to implement tools and techniques to get your migraines under control, and to change your life for the better.

Migraines add an all too generous extra helping of stress to your life (as if life wasn’t stressful enough already!). Stress and anxiety can fuel the cycle of attacks, and prevent you from making the right decisions and choices.

This book gives you a plethora of sustainable strategies to reduce stress and anxiety. It also offers practical guidance on how to approach and make decisions, and explores the wide range of treatment options available to migraineurs.

There’s also plenty of advice on preventing (or lessening the severity of) migraines, alongside practical steps to follow to be prepared for the next attack and to take back control of your life.
We may not be able to cure migraines, but we can manage them.

What Do I Know?

I’ve suffered from severe, disabling migraines for over 20 years. For the first 14 years, I had no effective pain relief, and very little in the way of help and support. When it comes to intense, debilitating pain and distress, I’ve been there, done that, and got the T-shirt.

But over time, and with plenty of trial and error, I’ve developed effective methods to manage my migraines, and to inject normality and happiness back into my life. And I know you can do the same – so this book is my helping hand to you, to get you started right away.

Author Bio:
When I was first diagnosed with migraines over 20 years ago, I was terrified. I was in my early 30s, and I felt completely alone. I was given medications that made me worse, and then sent to a psychiatrist and a dietician to sort it all out in just three visits. Medical interventions and resources were scarce, and no one I knew could relate.

My absence was causing trouble at work, and my relationship did not withstand the relentless, disabling pain episodes.

My life was turned upside down. I went from being a super-charged, super-athletic, intelligent woman to feeling so angry at my body and afraid I would die from the unbearable cycles of pain. What followed was both bad and good: 14 years of no effective pain relief and finding meditation.

Years later I was further burdened with more chronic conditions. I was so fatigued I couldn’t get out of bed. The severe pain now included total body pain, everywhere. This put an end to pursuing career opportunities and social activities. I thought my life was over. Again! The life I once knew was definitely over.

It took me many years with the help of a professional team of experts before I started to accept my illnesses and to become well enough to function in life. I then began to create a new life I now love.

After experiencing the true value of service, and food as medicine I set out and accomplished a Master’s degree in Counselling and Applied Psychotherapy (MCAP) and numerous diplomas including nutrition, Shiatsu massage, Chinese Medicine (acupressure and acupuncture) and healing modalities. I became a well-rounded, empathetic and proficient consultant for anyone suffering chronic pain.

I also decided to create the online resource I wished I’d been able to find when I was first diagnosed. A one-stop support system to share all I have learned so others don’t make the same mistakes I did. I wanted to give Migraineurs something to believe in and end needless suffering for others.

In 2009, www.MigraineSavvy.com was born. I now provide people with practical resources, deeply personal experiences, and learned resilience skills. From one little idea grew a big website, a safe place for a community, a newsletter, this book and a pain management course.

About White is the Coldest Colour:

The Amazon # 1 best-seller in five countries. The Mailer family are oblivious to the terrible danger that enters their lives when seven-year-old Anthony is referred to the child guidance service by the family GP following the breakdown of his parents’ marriage. Fifty-eight year old Dr David Galbraith, a sadistic predatory paedophile employed as a consultant child psychiatrist, has already murdered one child in the soundproofed cellar below the South Wales Georgian town-house he shares with his wife and two young daughters. Anthony becomes Galbraith’s latest obsession, and he will stop at nothing to make his grotesque fantasies reality.
The novel is entirely fictional, but draws on my experiences as a police officer, child protection social worker, manager and trainer. During my career I was faced with case after case that left me incredulous as to the harm sexual predators chose to inflict on their victims. The book reflects that reality. The story is set in 1992, a more naive time when many found it extremely difficult to believe that a significant number of adults posed a serious risk to children. The book contains content that some readers may find disturbing from the start. It is dedicated to survivors everywhere.

Author Bio:
I write dark psychological suspense thrillers which draw heavily on my experiences as a police officer and child protection social worker. I guess, given my career, the genre chose me. I’ve written three books to date, and I’m currently working on the fourth, which I hope to finish by the summer. I wrote a multi-agency child protection procedural manual, and articles for local newspapers and a national social work magazine during my working life, but White is the Coldest Colour was my first work of fiction. I had a lot of time on my hands after leaving my post heading up child protection services for the county of Carmarthenshire in beautiful West Wales, and one day I decided to sit down and give it a go. I felt driven to complete it once I’d started, although I have to admit that it was a steep learning curve. I seriously considered deleting the entire manuscript more than once. The book took two years to complete with the able assistance of two professional editors, the second of whom understood what I was trying to achieve and made a valuable contribution to the end result. Writing it was somewhat cathartic in the main, although it did sometimes engender vivid memories that were, perhaps, best left in the past. By far the hardest thing was conveying such a brutal plot line without including any gratuitous or graphic detail. Achieving that end was very important to me, and I wouldn’t have published the book unless satisfied I’d succeeded in that regard. Fortunately, the majority of reviewers seem to agree.

White is the Coldest Colour is intended primarily as an entertaining and tense thriller, but I also hope it conveys an important cautionary message to readers: be careful who you trust. Be very careful whom you trust. It contains content that some readers may find distressing from the very first page, and is dedicated to survivors of child abuse everywhere. It won’t be a book for everybody.

When Evil Calls Your Name, my second novel, is a sequel, although it can be read as a standalone. The book is written in a very different style to White, as if by Cynthia, the main character, in the form of a personal journal whilst serving a prison sentence. It is again primarily intended as an interesting read, but I hope it also goes some way to communicating the insidious negative effects of psychological and physical domestic violence on its victims. Some reviewers have thought that the book was written by Cynthia herself, one even saying that she was brave to write it given the horrendous things she went through. I find that gratifying. It’s intended to be a raw and realistic book, that while entirely fictional, was inspired by real events, as was the case for White. There are far too many real life Cynthia’s out there in the world, who suffer violence at the hands of men on a regular basis. I hope that the book plays a small part in bringing attention to what is still largely a taboo subject. Not everything is as it seems, and don’t be too quick to judge.

My third book, Portraits of the Dead, is a serial killer thriller full of twists and turns. Like my other two books, it’s set in Wales, which I think makes sense given that I spent the majority of my career working in my home country. I find it easier to write from experience, and I hope it gives the books an authentic air of gritty realism. Like all my books, it’s available as an ebook, paperback and audiobook. It’s also due to be published as a paperback and hardback in Hungarian in the near future.

I’ve been incredibly lucky in that sales of my books have been better than I could have hoped. Each have become Amazon international bestsellers, reaching # 1 in multiple categories in the UK, Spain, France, Australia, Canada and the USA. I’d encourage anyone who’s considering writing a book to give it a go. The publishing world is changing fast and it’s never been easier to make your book available for purchase. Produce a quality product, send it to potential reviewers, and let the reading public decide if your book is worth buying and reading. You may well surprise yourself.

About Color Me Immoral:

Born in North Carolina, Bobby’s prejudice was well entrenched. Coming from a conservative family his racist ideas were all too common in his home town. In fact, Bobby thought his ideas were normal and acceptable, after all everyone else felt the same way about coloreds.

On arriving in Cape Town Bobby’s world turned upside down. Breaking the stereotypes to which he was accustomed, Adrina changed his world and showed Bobby that love conquers all.

A colored woman trying to get by in Apartheid South Africa was no easy task. Even more of an obstacle for Adrina was trying to navigate the intricacies of the Immorality Act, a law which effectively made her and Bobby’s relationship a crime. With the security police in pursuit and a family to consider, Adrina has a difficult decision to make.

This book explores the painful experiences of South Africans and illustrates how an unjust law sought to segregate friends, families and lovers alike. This story is just a microcosm of the experiences of many South Africans whose pain and exclusion continues today.

Author Bio:
Richard Smith’s motto is: Never give up; it can happen. And his first book, Time Trap, is proof of that.
Born in London, the youngest of three children, Richard has loved writing stories since he was nine; and regularly got top marks for his essays at school – where his favourite subject was English. After leaving school, he worked in a succession of dead-end jobs. None brought him as much satisfaction as writing – which he kept up, with his mother’s constant encouragement. Richard credits her father, a taxi driver, who enjoyed writing as a hobby, for his talent with words.
Researching and writing Time Trap took many years of hard work – which Richard describes as a labour of love. One of his proudest moments came when he returned to his junior school to read extracts of the story to 9-year-old pupils, who loved it. He polished up the MS, self-published in 2012, and created the Time Trap Trail for young readers to follow and convinced both the British Museum and the Museum of Childhood to stock the book.
He is happy with his second book: The Darziods’ Stone

Marlene has worked directly with the public since her first job at age 16, perfecting her people skills in ways few have. Her deep compassion to make the world a better place eventually led her to the world of coaching. She obtained a coaching license and certification in the year 2000. As a life coach, her focus was helping her clients have better and healthier relationships. Many of her clients were single women looking for love the second time around. In 2011, she traded her fast-paced Los Angeles lifestyle of 47 years for a quieter for a return to her childhood roots: a more serene life on the beautiful plains of North Dakota. Her inspiration for this book came directly from her single women clients. She experienced firsthand these lovely women’s need to find love again. Attract Love at Any Age is Marlene’s first book and—most certainly, she’ll tell you—is not her last.

About Making Waves:

When my sexy business partner, Jack Fritzi, suggested that we take a vacation together to a resort near a beach under the pretense of bonding and working on designs for our new collection of footwear, I imagined Monte Carlo by the sea.

What I got was a quaint campground with trailers, tents and cabins surrounding a lake which didn’t exactly match the high fashion clothing and delicate sandals created by me, Mitzi Warren, that I had packed in my designer luggage.

The location proved to be a great find, but it was the way that surfer Jack continued making waves in our relationship that was the biggest surprise of all that threatened to end our business partnership.

Can we survive our time together at the Happy Endings Resort?

Author Bio:
Aside from writing, I’m a lover of classic Rock and smooth R&B from the 80’s, and I don’t mind picking up a mike every now and then. I love the open out doors and the smell of the ocean.
My favorite authors are: Jonathan Kellerman, John Sandford, Chelsea Cain, James Patterson just to name a few.
Writing use to be just a dream until I decided to turn that dream into reality. The Twins’ trilogy is just that: a dream come true.
