Vivian Winslow was born and raised in Southern California. Before becoming a writer, she made a career out of moving around the world every couple of years thanks to her husband’s job. She currently lives in New York City with her husband and two elementary school age children, and is grateful to finally have a place to call home for more than two years. New York is the perfect city to indulge her love of shopping, the arts and especially food. If she’s not at home writing or running around the city with her kids, you’ll most likely find her indulging in pizza on the Lower East Side or having a cocktail at her favorite bar in Alphabet City. That said, she’s still a California girl at heart and would gladly trade in her heels for a pair of flip-flops to catch a sunset on the beach.Blue Dahlia by Vivian Winslow is a post from Awesome Gang
- Five Days in May by Ninie Hammon
About Five Days in May by Ninie Hammon:A TWISTER’S COMING. A BIG ONE! A MILE WIDE AND 8 MILES TALL.
The writhing finger of death hurls across the prairie toward Graham, Oklahoma, one Friday afternoon in May, 1963, on a collision course with the lives of 4 people—each of whom has already planned a personal rendezvous with death in some other form that day.
In Jonas Cunningham’s mind, what he’s planning isn’t murder. The handful of little white pills that will free his precious Maggie from the fog of Alzheimer’s is a gift, a final act of unconditional love.
Jonas’s 16-year-old granddaughter, Joy, isn’t planning “murder” either. She’s pregnant and sees only one way to keep from shaming her family. Secrets like that are hard to keep though, in a small town.
Joy’s father, Rev. Mac MacIntosh has lost his wife and his faith and on Friday, he plans to commit professional suicide—not just leave his church, but abandon his call to ministry.
Princess has an appointment with the Reaper on Friday, too, one she’s been staring down for 14 years. At 5 o’clock, the state of Oklahoma will strap her into an electric chair called Sizzlin’ Suzie and turn on the juice.
But as the strange, psychic death row inmate meets daily with the minister during the final 5 days of her life, everything in both their lives begins to change. Princess knows—about Mac’s life and family. And sees—the Big Ugly coming to eat up the world. She sees other terrible things, too, and is determined to carry to her grave an incredible secret about the little sister she confessed to beheading a decade ago.
When the savage tornado roars with a sound like gravel in a blender into their small prairie town on that May Friday, all 4 of the people who’d penciled in “death” on their calendars actually do confront eternity.
But none of them comes to the crossroads of life and death by the path they’d planned or leaves with the result they expected.
In the end, the Big Ugly will decide who lives and who dies that day.

If Ninie Hammon had to choose between telling stories and eating, she would starve to death.
Ninie spent a quarter of a century as a journalist before she tried her hand at writing books and discovered it was a whole lot more fun to design her own armed robbery or add a mystic to a murder investigation than to report the facts. Since then, she has published a biography, God Said Yes, and six contemporary novels: Sudan, The Memory Closet, Home Grown, Five Days in May, Black Sunshine and The Last Safe Place. Her seventh novel, When Butterflies Cry, will be released in the fall of 2014. Her novels are packed with action and tension–suspense, women’s fiction, thrillers and mysteries. Most are unexpectedly inspiring and deeply moving. But however diverse, they all share one characteristic: they are peopled with gloriously complex characters who drag the reader into the story to live it, to take the journey with them. A small town girl from Muleshoe, Texas, Ninie now lives a mildly vagabond life. She and her husband, Tom, travel between their home in Louisville, KY and one in the village of Great Linford in Buckinghamshire north of London where Tom directs Young Life in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Scandinavia. The couple has six children and eight grandchildren.Five Days in May by Ninie Hammon is a post from Awesome Gang
- Doctor, Doctor: A True Story of Obsession, Addiction and Psychological Manipulation by Merry Freer
About Doctor, Doctor: A True Story of Obsession, Addiction and Psychological Manipulation by Merry Freer:All Susan wanted was a divorce. Instead, she moved from a cushy seat pulled out for her in a civilized domestic attorney’s office to an uncomfortable chair pushed under her in an interrogation room. All she wanted was a taste of passion. Instead, drawn in by two doctors, she exchanged the life of an ordinary suburban housewife for a world of obsession, addiction and psychological manipulation.
Doctor, Doctor is the true story of a recently divorced woman who longs for more passion in her life. When Susan meets Mark, a charismatic and charming doctor, she thinks she has found the kind of love she has longed for. But things are not as they appear with Mark, and slowly she becomes aware of the deceptive life he is leading. Seeking counsel and solace in her long time therapist, Dr. J., she encourages Mark to accompany her to her sessions.
The three year odyssey begins with intense therapy – appointments orchestrated by Dr. J., a psychiatrist with a personal stake in the couple’s progress. Secrets, lies, and silent pacts draw Susan deeply into Mark’s treatment plan. The shrewd therapist’s unorthodox and manipulative schemes break all the rules, taking Susan into a world of drama, deceit, betrayal, and an excruciatingly close encounter with the law – an encounter that forces her to choose between saving Mark or saving herself.

- Kissing the Captain by Kianna Alexander
About Kissing the Captain by Kianna Alexander:
Kissing the Captain: A Roses Of Ridgeway Historical Romance
Ridgeway, California: A fictional, mixed race settlement founded by abolitionists in 1853, after the madness of the California gold rush died down. Located near present-day Oakland, California, the town is home to a little less than 500 citizens. In Ridgeway, everybody knows everybody else- which can be a good thing- or a bad thing.
The Roses of Ridgeway: The feisty, determined female citizens of the settlement. They are intelligent, loving, and know their own minds- but they are far from perfect. The Roses are: Lilly Warren, Prudence Emerson, and Valerie Ridgeway.
**Please Note**: The Roses of Ridgeway series books are SWEET in nature. There is no offensive content that would limit these books solely to mature adult readers. Expect some brief foul language, and light violence, and affectionate moments. However, sexual relations take place behind closed doors and are not portrayed on the page. Therefore, these books are appropriate for readers of all ages, from young, to mature, to young at heart.
From Heartbreak to New Beginnings
In 1879, near the small northern California town of Ridgeway, Lilly Warren is a young woman who has recently lost her father. There is little time for mourning, though, as the responsibility of running the twenty-six acre farm now belongs to her. To make matters even more complex, her father has deeded the house and the land to her in his will with an interesting condition: that she share the land with a person she’s never met, or forfeit ownership.
Leaving the Sea Behind for a New Love
Ricardo Benigno is a Spanish captain of the Anna Juanita, a shipping vessel bringing spices and oils to the shores of California. Seeking out the farm of his old friend Leonard Warren, he discovers that the older man has passed away. To his surprise, Ricardo has also been willed joint ownership of Warren land, as long as he shares it with Lilly, Warren’s only child.
Will There be Romance, or Rebellion?
The attraction between them is instant, and they both agree that marriage is the only acceptable way they can share the land. But can two people from such different worlds learn to love each other, or will Lilly’s heart be broken if she dares to kiss the captain?
This is book #1 in the Roses of Ridgeway historical romance small town series by Kianna Alexander. Below is the series chronology:
Book 1: Kissing the Captain- Lilly and Ricardo’s story
Book 2: The Preacher’s Paramour- Prudence and Derrick’s story

I’ve always loved the written word. For as long as I can remember, I read as much as I could, as often as I could. Cereal boxes, newspapers, product packaging. Ebony, Essence, and Jet Magazine. Billboards. I loved it all. I read the entire Fear Street series, as well as the Sweet Valley Books, from Twins and Friends through Sweet Valley High. Each week I’d bring 15 or 20 books home from the library, and read them all before the due date. Now, my mother owned a pristine, barely touched collection of Harlequin romance novels, and I was not to touch them under any circumstances. Well, as a teenager, you know what that meant. I read some of them, and got my first introduction to romance. When I was sixteen, I picked up my stepmother’s copy of Night Song, by Beverly Jenkins. The cover showed an obviously historical image of a black couple, against a beautiful backdrop, locked in a passionate embrace. With my love of history, I had to crack this book. What I read inside literally blew my mind. I was exposed to a wonderful, touching love story involving people who looked like me! What a thrill. To this day Night Song remains my favorite book, and I credit it with planting the seed of desire to write romance. I didn’t get serious until many years later, but that’s where it all began.Kissing the Captain by Kianna Alexander is a post from Awesome Gang

- Apocalypse Asunder
About Apocalypse Asunder:When zombies show up, the world usually goes to hell. They tend have that effect on, well, on everything. Zombies aren’t good, aren’t bad; they just are. They can’t help themselves. They destroy and consume because it’s what they do. Unfeelingly, unthinkingly, unerringly. But while a hungry corpse will hunt you down and chew you up . . . what people will do can be far worse.
What turns good people bad? It’s really not that hard to figure out. They want something more than you. They need something more than you. Because no one is stopping them. Trust is a casualty of the apocalypse as surely as safety and survival. Not everyone is bad, but apathy and a lack of concern kill the same as malicious intent. An awful lot of people will let a lot of awful things happen if it means they survive. They’ll even do them to you; who cares if they feel bad about it afterwards? Because that’s what it’s all about when everything goes to hell.
Survival.
In the middle of a zombie apocalypse, nothing is routine and nothing is normal. One mistake can be your last. With winter closing in and life stripped of all the things that turn winter from just one more season into something that can kill, Jessica has to decide which is more dangerous for her and her daughter. Do they travel across two states in search of warm shelter, or sit tight and pray for providence to see them through?
One thing Jessica’s learned amid the apocalypse though . . . help comes to those who help themselves.

David Rogers was born in Atlanta and has lived there for over twenty-five years, with the only interruption between birth and Atlanta being a detour of about a decade into Florida. If you’ve never been to Florida, let him save you a trip. It’s very flat and quite tropical. Oddly enough, Georgia is very hilly and quite humid, so maybe there’s not so much of a difference between the two. Also, it wasn’t his fault. His parents made him go.Since escaping childhood, David has been a secretary, file clerk, tech support operator, telemarketer, gopher, FedEx truck washer, and office manager. He loves good stories in nearly all forms, particularly novels and movies, though television is gaining rapidly since some of the quality there has shot up quite a lot in the past few years.
His favorite genre is Science Fiction, because any story is better with aliens or technology added to it. Why tell a mystery in a haunted mansion when you could do it in a haunted space station? Why tell a tale of intrigue set against the nations of Earth when you could set it against the backdrop of a dozen different colonies? In case you’re wondering, zombies sort of qualify as aliens.
He was introduced to zombie fiction by the film 28 Days Later. Everything was going fine, fun little suspense story, until Selena asked Mark if he’d been bitten or cut. When he said “uh”, and she instantly chopped him apart with a machete, David thought there might be something to these zombie stories people kept talking about. Turns out, they were right.
Every Christmas Eve he watches Die Hard and Lethal Weapon, because they’re the best Christmas movies ever made. Family, friends, and beating the crap out of the bad guy with your bare hands . . . what more do you want in a Christmas Story? BB Guns? Please, you’ll shoot your eye out.

- The God Organ
About The God Organ:Immortality is within reach.
In 2063, a biotechnological revolution sweeps the nation. Behind this movement is Chicago-based medical giant LyfeGen. The company leads the biotech industry with their Sustain, an implantable artificial organ designed to grant its recipients near-immortality. But many of those recipients are suddenly dying.
Biomedical scientist Preston Carter developed the Sustain to improve and save lives. Yet there are others that would see him fail. Extreme religious groups, radical movements, and competing corporations would prefer to see LyfeGen collapse rather than allow “the god organ” to fundamentally alter medicine and the human body. In a race against time, Carter must learn to trust resourceful journalist Audrey Cook. She may hold the key to discovering who is sabotaging the Sustain. And with the organ already implanted in his own body, Carter must uncover the truth before he’s killed by his invention.
THE GOD ORGAN is a near-future medical thriller that takes the reader on a suspenseful ride filled with sinister conspiracies, intriguing biomedical science, and rampant corruption that will leave readers wondering just how dangerous becoming a god may really be.Learn more about the author, buy the book, or follow them on social media:

The people of the new world want him to save them from the destruction of the Lorkon. All Jacob wants is to go home, but even that choice has consequences. If he waits too long to decide, the new world and the one he came from will be destroyed.
As Jacob looks for people he can trust, he finds himself in the center of a fight for freedom—both for himself and the people he’s come to know. And when he meets a pretty girl named Aloren, everything he understands about his role on Eklaron is challenged.
Jacob has no idea where the path he chooses will take him, but once the choice has been made—bring on the consequences.

- No Ifs, Ands, or Bears About it by Celia Kyle
About No Ifs, Ands, or Bears About it by Celia Kyle:
The first day of Mia’s new life in Grayslake, Georgia is not going as planned. The house her grandfather left her looks ready to crumble, boxes cover every inch of the floor and–oh–there’s a bear cub in her pantry. It gets worse when the cub’s uncle comes by and busts out his fur and claws while on her front porch. Then it gets loads better because suddenly there’s a hot hunk of badge-wearing werebear on her lawn ready to rescue her. Yum. Of course, he has to ruin things by trying to take the cub out of her hands. Ha! The cub is hers… No ifs, ands, or bears about it.
Werebear Ty can’t seem to get the curvaceous, delectable Mia to understand that, even if she is one-quarter werebear, she isn’t keeping the cub. Ty is the Grayslake Itan, the clan’s leader, and the little werebear is going home with him… Unless it isn’t. It’s her smile. If she’d stop smiling and being gorgeous, his inner-bear would support him and Ty would get his way. But the beast wants to make their woman happy, so it’s perfectly content to let her do as she pleases. Then things change. Threats arise, danger comes close, and Ty demands she return to his den. No ifs, ands, or mates about that.

- Spirit Warrior by S.E. Smith
About Spirit Warrior by S.E. Smith
Allie Whitewater was used to living between two worlds. She embraced both the Native American heritage of her father and the white heritage of her mother. She was happy with both and didn’t have the identity crisis many of her friends had growing up. Growing up on a large working ranch in Montana, she loved every aspect of the life that her twin had left behind. She had no desire to live town, or worse, a large city. She plans on spending the rest of her life on the ranch her father started, running it and making it even better than ever. All of that changes when she decides to take a little vacation to help out her best friend and sister of the heart, Indiana, return to her new home.
Jacob Tucker enjoys building up the ranch he and his twin brother, Jonathan, had settled. Sure, there were dangers – rustlers, the harsh environment, Indians – but he wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. He is happy with life in the Montana territory. He never thinks there could be something or someone out there that could make him change his mind. At least, not until he travels with his brother to rescue his brother’s new bride, Indiana, when she is kidnapped. His idea of life and the world changes when he leaves his ranch in 1867 to travel to 2013. The world has changed a lot and so have the women – namely one called Allie Whitewater. She has the mouth of a cowpuncher, the body of an angel, and the temper of the Devil himself. Now all he has to do is get her back to his time and hold her so tight she won’t miss her fancy metal wagons and flying birds.
Jacob thinks his plan is foolproof. He just needs to kidnap Allie long enough to make her never want to leave him to return to her world. But things change as tension between the red-skins and the white settlers and the army escalate. History won’t stand still for two souls separated by time. How can he hope to keep Allie safe when the whites see her as a red-skin savage and the Indians don’t know what to think of her?
When the two cultures clash, it is up to Allie to show she is capable of walking in both worlds. She will prove to the whites that she is a force to be reckoned with and she will prove to her ancestors that she is a Spirit Warrior who will fight to the death to protect her hasáŋni, her mate.
Can the past handle a modern woman’s view that the two cultures are really not that different when it comes to love and family or will it destroy the very thing that makes her the perfect partner for a man of the past – her warrior spirit?

- Diviner’s Prophecy
About Diviner’s Prophecy:Maea dreams of blood and war centuries old. She is haunted by visions of dire plots that have yet to be hatched. Maea is a diviner, born with the ability to see into the past and future. Her gift, though powerful, cannot regain what she has lost –her memories. Many are drawn to Maea and her power, eager to use her ability to foresee the future to their own ends. Her foster mother pretends to shield Maea from those who would use her, but Maea knows the truth. Her foster mother conspired with a sorcerer to take away Maea’s past and with it a secret that threatens her kingdom.
In her search to break the spell, Maea is guided only by her fractured prophecies which thrusts her into a world of royal intrigue. The visions lead her to Prince Adair, a charming rogue whose intentions for her may not be entirely pure. Though she hesitates to trust him, she knows he is her only chance at breaking free of her foster mother. Without a past, she is at the mercy of the cunning courtiers. Everyone has a game to play and Maea is a convenient pawn. Adair alone sees through her step mother’s charm and is willing to help Maea remove her from power. Together they delve into the mysteries surrounding Maea’s curse, and the secret she was never meant to remember.

- Old World by Oliver Kennedy
About Old World by Oliver Kennedy:
Great Britain, 2014. Civilisation as we know it has been torn apart by war. This once peaceful nation has been transformed into a melting pot of chaos and desolation.
Death stalks the land. The towns and cities are home to the dead who have learned to walk again, driven by a single desire to consume the flesh of the living. The countryside is the abode of marauders, lawless men driven by starvation, fear and evil.
There is talk of worse to come, dark fiends inhabiting the irradiated lands of the south, beings who have risen up from the radioactive ashes of war.
Here and there dwell pockets of innocence, good men and women whose daily mission is living to see another dawn. But the dark tide has not receded, and the dawns are certainly numbered. Welcome to the Green and Pleasant Land.
The Green and Pleasant Land; Old World is a short introductory book that follows the fate of the Locklear family as they deal with the unfolding crisis. Forced to flee the cities they must traverse a nation sliding into Armageddon, along the way they are confronted by cadavers, mutants and even darker horrors that are emerging in the post apocalyptic world.

I was born in the town of Hertford UK where I still live all these years later. I live with my girlfriend, our daughter and our two cats. There is never a dull moment, and where those lulls in the noise of life do occur, I like to spend them writing.There is nothing I like more than to whittle away the night time hours with waking dreams of all that might be. There is a fear that all writers have I think, a fear that all the worlds and characters in their heads, might never see the light of day, that they might die with them. And the only way to fight that fear, is to write, and never stop, so that one day your dreams might become strong enough to live on their own in the world long after you are gone.
I like a good movie, I like to walk the countryside around my home town. I have a favourite kind of pen, and a favourite kind of paper. I think music is a source of power that we as a species are still in the early stages of understanding.
Walk, run, cycle, listen, dream, live and write. That’s me, and you as well, I guess. We are all different enough to be intrigued, but similar enough to understand.
Now it’s a grey afternoon here in Britain, here I sit with a cup of hot chocolate, staring into the cloudy sky where a new worlds born every minute.
I hope you enjoy my writing, and even if you do not, it is my fervent hope that by our lives having touched for these brief moments, you will be inspired to find your own pen and paper, and give birth to your own create legacy.
