About Evanthia’s Gift: Book One in The Gift Saga by Effie Kammenou

On sale through kindle countdown deal from June 28th – July 4th! Readers Favorite Award finalist for women’s fiction in 2016

This Greek American family saga follows a multigenerational story of love, loyalty, and culture. An emotional novel about family bonds and the difficult pull between home and heritage.

From Greece to New York. From the 1950’s to the 1990’s. Two generations of passionate woman overcome life’s struggles to chase their dreams.

In the year 1956, Anastacia Fotopoulos finds herself pregnant and betrayed, fleeing from a bad marriage. With the love and support of her dear friends Stavros and Soula Papadakis, Ana is able to face the challenges of single motherhood. Left with emotional wounds, she resists her growing affection for Alexandros Giannakos, an old acquaintance. But his persistence and unconditional love for Ana and her child is eventually rewarded and his love is returned. In a misguided, but well-intentioned effort to protect the ones they love, both Ana and Alex keep secrets – ones that could threaten the delicate balance of their family.

The story continues in the 1970’s as Dean and Demi Papadakis, and Sophia Giannakos attempt to negotiate between two cultures. Now Greek-American teenagers, Sophia and
Dean, who have shared a special connection since childhood, become lovers. Sophia is shattered when Dean rebels against the pressure his father places on him to uphold his Greek heritage and hides his feelings for her. When he pulls away from his family, culture and ultimately his love for her, Sophia is left with no choice but to find a life different from the one she’d hoped for.

Evanthia’s Gift is a multigenerational love story spanning fifty years and crossing two continents, chronicling the lives that unify two families.

About Love, Actually (Red Meets Blue) by Ashlyn Mathews

My remorse is skin deep.

I live paycheck to paycheck, call the apartment on the scary side of the city my home, and have no life outside of working two jobs. When given the chance to crash a masquerade party in the rich part of town, I readily agree. What I didn’t expect is to be escorted to the party by Jaxson McCallister, a man from my past who holds a dark grudge against me. A man who doesn’t have a clue it’s me beneath the mask. Or does he?

I’m unwilling to forgive her.

The law was too soft on her, and she knows it. I can’t forgive or forget Tavi Gabriel for her role in my little sister’s death. When she drops into my life again after going MIA, I’m determined to make her pay for getting off easy.

But when I see the pain and remorse etched on her face as a deep scar, can I forgive and forget her? Or will I demand a different penance that will test my long-buried feelings for her?

Fidelity by Eva Caye  

About Fidelity by Eva Caye

Prince Richard Sinclair is his brother’s right-hand-man and go-to guy, who excels as the Emperor’s Fireman because he can’t deal with his personal life. He only plays the Imperial Bad Boy because that’s what makes the dukes respect him, despite his age, intelligence, education, and birthright. Delightfully intrigued by Lady Meredith Lauder, his virtual Cinderella, he rescues her from her burdensome family life at the first opportunity.

Scarred by ridicule and neglect, Merry gleefully abandons her family, but she feels she has to work at the Imperial Palace to compensate for Richard’s generosity. Even as he entices her to his bed, she believes she’s being true to her core principles, to never be dependent upon a man, and to pursue a relationship of equals.

But when the Emperor disappears, they realize just how fragile their world really is, both personally and politically. Richard desperately throws himself into governing as Imperial Steward while demanding that everyone search for Matthieu. And Merry plays the part of the ‘supportive girlfriend’ in his hour of need… until two men jeopardize the emotional balance they’ve gained in their lives!

How can Prince Richard deal with the frightful political situation without losing his lover?

Author Bio:
I was born in Geneva, Switzerland. As my surname suggests, I have Greek roots and often dream of life in Greece. The rest of the time, I plot space operas and fantasy stories at home in Switzerland.

I have always been fascinated with space and Science Fiction in general. As a teenager, I was forever imagining stories, enjoying video games, and creating various art projects. With my sight always set towards the stars, my novels reflect many of my favorite things, like Star Wars, Star Trek, Babylon 5, and Stargate. I have fond memories of playing games like Wing Commander, a fact that should be apparent in my depictions of dogfight scenes.

I have always been drawn to imagining my stories in which my utopian aspirations for a better world where humanity shines and evolves towards a higher level of civilization often find their way into my novels. After trying to become a mangaka, a video game creator, an illustrator, and a cd cover artist, I realized along the way that the best medium to express myself was simply through the written word.

I began my career as a system engineer and understand technology very well even though I am more than happy never to have to fix a server again for the rest of my life! With that old life behind, and now living my dream, I am thoroughly enjoying creating storylines and characters that entice the reader to reflect and to ask themselves what if? What if we did things differently? What if we challenged our beliefs? But I won’t imply that I am right with my questioning. I just have these questions and like to share them with my readers. In the end, I write, first and foremost, to entertain. So for a little while, the reader can be transported to other worlds, and I hope they enjoy the ride.

Thank you for reading my books.



Lustre (A Witchlight Novella) by Jaime Munn  

About Lustre (A Witchlight Novella) by Jaime Munn

Looking for some witch work?

Witching for a living is hard. Witching after your werewolf girlfriend opts for ex is harder. Witching as an escape, now that’s impossible. Just ask Nilla Hayes.

It takes a special kind of very bad day to break the one rule that every witch has. Never—and I mean never, never—work for angels. If breaking up is hard to do, try it while hunting down a dream thief with a mean streak. Add in a very tight deadline courtesy of your unfriendly, neighbourhood supernatural, and even if the job is all expenses paid, it still amounts to a very, very bad day. You can’t cash anything from the other side. When you witch in haste…your regrets might make the obituaries.

Author Bio:
I am an American author. My father was Romany and my mother was Jewish, When I was very young I learned about the Holocaust. I couldn’t understand how something like this could happen. So, I began to research and learn more. I met with survivors. I even met with children and grandchildren of SS officers. But I still had no answers. I cannot say that I have all of the answers to all of my questions even now. But what I do know is that soon all of the survivors will be gone. Their message must be remembered, the sacrifices that they made must not be forgotten. And so I humbly and with the utmost humility try to tell their stories. It is painful, but I must convey the darkness and horror of the time, but I also want the world the know and celebrate the unsung heroes. Because there were many ordinary people who acted in heroic ways. I realize that writing these books is a great responsibility. I pray every day that I am able to do this correctly. I am trying to reach out and touch many people, not with the message of the horrors but with the promise of hope. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for considering my work. It is an honor that I never take lightly.

About Walk-In Investigations: A Parnormal Detective Mystery by Joyce Kostakis

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?

Author Bio:
I grew up in Minnesota where I spent many long, cold winters making up stories and dreaming about being a writer and traveling the world. But saner people urged me to attend the University of Minnesota where I studied behavioral science. But my dream of writing persisted, and after a move to Arizona, I earned a degree in journalism from Arizona State University. Since then, I’ve worked in a plethora of jobs from social services to magazine editor, and teaching novel writing at Bootcamp for Novelists. And writing lots of books…nineteen novels, with over a million sold worldwide in over a dozen different languages. I also wrote two non-fiction books on how to write a novel.

Since my first sale my books have won several awards, including the Daphne du Maurier Award, and most recently, the Holt Medallion Award of Merit. I love to read thrillers, suspense, mystery and romance, and I try to write the types of books I like to read, complex stories with deep characterization…the kind you think about long after turning the last page. I write to entertain, but if I can enrich a few lives along the way, all the better.

When not writing or spending time with my family, I love to travel, take photographs, play tennis, and spend time researching my books. Or I’ll grab my camera and head for a hike in the Arizona mountains, the best place on the planet to dream up new stories. I love to hear from readers and invite you to join me on Facebook and Twitter and visit my website at www.LindaStyle.com.

Her death, an unprecedented event in Heaven’s history, has thrown a once docile world into unfortunate chaos. Because of the new uneasy alliance between angels and citizens, a freshly-arrived detective in the rock & roll town has been tasked with investigating the prime suspects, the members of the 27 Club – Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison.

So, with time running out, the PI and his newly acquired sidekick, both aided by rock legends such as Eddie Cochran, Mama Cass, Kurt Cobain, Karen Carpenter and others, must quickly uncover the mystery that threatens not only to close Heaven’s doors forever, but promises to send a ripple effect through the entire universe that can rip it apart.

A Simple Game by Kirk Wolcott

Global terrorism and international sports collide in this riveting debut novel, prompting a crucial question for our time: How far is too far when trying to change the world? A perfect page-turner for your summer reading, “A Simple Game” goes on sale for $1.99 from now until the end of July 2017.

When three of the planet’s top athletes are slaughtered on the same night in Hong Kong, Amsterdam, and Beverly Hills, celebrated peace and conflict resolution expert Rory Crandall spots a golden opportunity. Lured by an insatiable ego and a $20 million reward, Crandall joins a desperate manhunt to catch the perpetrators behind the media-dubbed “Sporting Murders.”

As the world shudders over the attacks, a group of young terrorists gathers in the hills over Sarajevo to choose its next victim, while Crandall starts piecing together clues. Racing from the power centers of Europe and America to an African jungle to an Asian island on the brink of civil war, Crandall encounters mercenaries, warlords, and other waste products of armed conflict, while falling for a beguiling human rights activist with a curious interest in his mission.

With each new murder, the terrorists raise the stakes in a bold effort to hold the world hostage to their demands. But who are these extremists? What do they want? And is it possible the end to their bloody game somehow justifies the means?

From the opening chapter to the shocking final showdown, “A Simple Game” sizzles with suspense, taking the reader on a wild ride through some treacherous territory where nothing is as simple as it seems.

An Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award quarter finalist, Publishers Weekly described “A Simple Game” as “well written, scary and exciting” with “the makings of a taut thriller, definitely a must read.”

Author Bio:
Kirk Wolcott is an American diplomat and former sportswriter and conflict resolution adviser. “A Simple Game” is his first novel.

Born in Highland Park, Illinois, Kirk grew up in and around Seattle, and has spent much of his life crisscrossing the globe. After earning a Bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Washington in Seattle, he launched his career as an award-winning sportswriter, newspaper editor, and columnist in Southern California and North Carolina.

A trip through Europe convinced him there was a much larger world out there in need of exploring. Back to school he went for a Master’s degree in international communication from American University in Washington, DC, before setting off for further shores.

Work as a peace and conflict resolution officer at The Carter Center, former President Jimmy Carter’s non-governmental organization in Atlanta, sent Kirk to a series of global hotspots: from war-ravaged Bosnia-and-Herzegovina just after the Dayton Peace Accord to East Timor during its bloody referendum for independence to Liberia, Nigeria, and Zimbabwe under the violent reigns of Charles Taylor, Sani Abacha, and Robert Mugabe.

Since 2000, Kirk has served as a diplomat for the U.S. Department of State, again focusing on areas in strife. His overseas tours have included Kuwait during 9/11 and the invasion of Iraq, Sarajevo, Tunis, Kabul, NATO Headquarters in Brussels, and most recently Istanbul, where he led a field team providing assistance to the Syrian opposition.

Kirk will be moving next to Dublin with his wife, an international lawyer, and their two intrepid cats. When he’s not busy writing, reading, or traveling, Kirk enjoys nothing more than playing, watching, or talking about soccer (ideally over a pint of beer or glass of fine wine)!

A New F/F Fantasy Romance from the author of Cynthia and Eve. Book 1 of ‘The Fae Souls’.

When I first arrived at the mansion, I couldn’t remember anything. My name, how I’d got there or who the people were around me. I knew I was a woman, and the pink dress and brown ankle boots I wore felt vaguely familiar, but nothing more.

It wasn’t long before I was told my name was Celina. I was given a suite to stay in and encouraged to prepare for the mysterious Prince Eldran’s masquerade party. I found everything I needed in my suite, other than the answers I sought.

Fragments of memory hinted at dark experiences, at love and loss, but there was no context and I was uncertain about my history and what the future might hold for me.

A stranger at the time, Sorcha found me alone as I sought solace in an empty room. I discovered she too had missing memories, and in her I found a person to talk to. A friend and more, but did we have a chance?

A Masquerade in Time is a romantic novella of just over 20,000 words, which contains strong steamy content and language.

The Successful Mistake: How 163 of The World’s Greatest Entrepreneurs Transform Failure Into Success  

About The Successful Mistake: How 163 of The World’s Greatest Entrepreneurs Transform Failure Into Success:

“Too often, stories about entrepreneurship focus on the glamorous upside. Matthew Turner’s book shows what it’s really like in the trenches – the hard things people don’t usually talk about. It’s a valuable reminder that nothing comes easy, but anything is possible with effort.”– Dorie Clark, Author of Stand Out

“Your shortest route to success is failure”

Imagine living in a world where you transform each one of your mistakes into a success story. Just consider what this would do to your business, bottom line, stress levels, growth, and happiness.

After interviewing 163 of the world’s finest business minds, Matthew Turner proposes you can, and in ‘The Successful Mistake: How 163 of The World’s Greatest Entrepreneurs Transform Failure Into Success’ you’ll learn how to bounce back from mistakes quicker and stronger than even those you admire have.

Featuring the likes of Chris Brogan (New York Times bestselling author), Rachel Elnaugh (BBC Dragon’s Den investor), Mitch Joel (Media Visionary and recipient of the prestigious Canada’s Top 40 Under 40 award) and many other inspiring thought-leaders, The Successful Mistake uncovers their biggest mistakes and how they transformed these into successful legacies that continue to thrive.

So if you’ve ever asked yourself what the most important business mistakes to avoid are, and the red flags you need to look out for, The Successful Mistake is for you because Matthew Turner has discovered a Seven Stage Process everyone goes through after making a mistake, but that successful entrepreneurs approach differently to most.

All that’s left to do is dive in and discover how your next (or even your current) failure can become your greatest success yet.

“Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit” — Napolean Hill from Think & Grow Rich

About Thief of the Night Guild

A cunning thief of unrivaled ingenuity, Ilanna is determined to secure her freedom. Nothing will prevent her escape from the Night Guild’s callous cruelty, not even the most powerful man in Praamis, Duke Phonnis.

Author Bio:
I am, first and foremost, a storyteller and an artist–words are my palette. Fantasy is my genre of choice, and I love to explore the darker side of human nature through the filter of fantasy heroes, villains, and everything in between. I’m also a freelance writer, a book lover, and a guy who just loves to meet new people and spend hours talking about my fascination for the worlds I encounter in the pages of fantasy novels.

Fantasy provides us with an escape, a way to forget about our mundane problems and step into worlds where anything is possible. It transcends age, gender, religion, race, or lifestyle–it is our way of believing what cannot be, delving into the unknowable, and discovering hidden truths about ourselves and our world in a brand new way. Fiction at its very best!

The Catch  

About The Catch

After an unexpected twist of fate, All-Star catcher Easton Wylder is left questioning the loyalty of everyone around him.

Even the woman who shares his bed, Scout Dalton.

But if Easton thought being uprooted to the last place he expected was the only challenge life had to throw at him, he was dead wrong.

With an ailing shoulder and his career in limbo, his decision to make an unexpected change leads him to question everything – Scout’s love, family loyalties, and whether he can conquer the one obstacle he’s never been able to overcome. The secret he’s never shared with anyone.

He may be a man pushed to his limits, but he’s hell-bent on proving his worth no matter the cost.

The Following of Christ  

About The Following of Christ

“Enter in by the narrow gate…”

Verses like this one can be confusing to the modern Christian mind. How does this apply to my daily experience? The answer to this question and others lies in a secret truth that the early believers closely guarded. It was the secret of Martyrdom.

In The Following of Christ, Greg Gordon gives us a glimpse of what following the Lord truly meant to the Early Church. Join hands with your nail-pierced Lord’s hand and learn of that great cloud of witnesses (Hebrews 12:1) who have gone before us, some giving their very lives.

Author Bio:
Author Pamela Schloesser Canepa is an instructor of Middle School English. She has enjoyed writing for various reasons ever since childhood, when she realized writing and making up stories would provide entertainment for long trips and keep her company. Her tendency toward fantastic stories was reflected in tales of discovering modern day dinosaurs and talking horses that would give her advice. The writing of poetry provided an outlet for private thoughts and emotions for years until she decided to self-publish fiction in 2016. Pamela’s genres include science fiction, paranormal fiction, and poetry of all types. The Made for Me series is Pamela’s first published fiction series. Her first full-length novel, Detours in Time, is being released in the summer of 2016. Currently, Pamela is working on a sequel to her time travel novel and developing more ideas for the character of Norrie from her Made for Me series.
