Second Sight by J.A. Culican
About Second Sight by J.A. Culican
What if you could foresee death?
Mirela can prophesy the death of whomever she sees. At thirteen, Ela foretold the death of her best friend, only to watch it happen before her very eyes. Ela, now twenty-one, spends her days locked away in her apartment, avoiding the public and the gift she considers a curse.
Until he appears.
Luka Conway is handsome. Charming. And magical. After Ela predicts yet another death, Luka leads her to an underground city hidden beneath Atlanta, populated by empaths, telepaths, and seers. Luka is a Shade, a soldier fighting a secret war against the Wraiths, a deadly group of sorcerers who wish to take over the world. Ela is given no choice; she must prove herself a Shade, and use her powers for the light, or she will be put to death. Resolved to her fate, Ela trains as a warrior, determined to put her curse to good use.
Then Talon Michaels appears. He’s just as dashing as Luka, and even more dangerous. A Wraith, Talon warns Ela that the Shades aren’t all what they appear. Who can Ela trust, if anyone? Should her powers be used for good…or evil? Which should she choose?
Full of action, adventure, and romance, Second Sight is an exciting young adult epic fantasy. It’s sure to please fans of USA Today bestselling author J.A. Culican’s The Keeper of Dragons series.

A Walk on the Haunted Side by Rose Pressey
About A Walk on the Haunted Side by Rose Pressey
The dead want Ripley Van Raden’s attention.
Two of Ripley Van Raden’s favorite things are books and ghosts. Not necessarily in that particular order. Rip, as her friends call her, guides people on a haunted tour through her hometown of Devil’s Moon, Kentucky.
When a famous author comes to town for a book signing, he’s interested in seeing some of the spookier sides of Devil’s Moon. Ripley takes him to a haunted house that’s rumored to be haunted by a woman who places a curse on anyone who has the misfortune of walking through the door.
When the author turns up dead, Ripley must find out if it was the curse that killed him, or a real murderer. At least she has the help of hunky Brannon Landon, paranormal investigator and police officer.

The award-winning creator and screenwriter of ground-breaking BBC television show, Spirit Warriors starring Jessica Henwick (Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Games of Thrones, Iron Fist) brings you an action-packed thrill-ride in her debut novel readers unanimously raved about, describing it as a “MUST-READ” and “UNPUTDOWNABLE”. If you loved Maximum Ride, Dean Koontz’s Watchers and the critically acclaimed Netflix show Stranger Things, you will love The Chase Ryder Series.
It’s so easy to take things for granted. Take, for example, trees.
Oaks provide shade and plenty of foliage to protect against sudden showers and prying eyes, but there was also the added bonus of load-bearing lower branches that someone nimble could scramble onto should trouble come calling… and you should know, trouble had me on speed-dial.
Living on the streets wasn’t a walk in the park, but it was still preferable to what I had to deal with at home, and after some eight months of being on my own I stumbled upon this mangy dog being attacked. It wasn’t a big deal to help him, but then he ended up saving my life which is when I realized there was something special about him: Muttface wasn’t a normal dog – he was crazy intelligent. I’m talking Mensa levels. And he wasn’t an accident either, having recently escaped from a mysterious lab.
We were just getting to know each other when things took a bloody turn. The vet, Sully, a troubled guy who had recently lost his wife to cancer, did what he could and I guess that would’ve been the end of our story if we hadn’t been attacked by a gang of mercenaries who destroyed Sully’s clinic and seemed intent on doing the same to us.
So now here we were, the three of us. On the run across the country against a powerful enemy. Who were they and what did they want with us?
Through the danger, terror, and pain, one thing was becoming clear to me: I had finally found the family I had always wanted and I would do anything to keep them safe – even if it meant risking my own life.

A self-confessed geek and video gamer, and champion of female driven genre stories, Jo creates complex female protagonists that you can root for – if you liked Katniss (THE HUNGER GAMES), Jessica (JESSICA JONES), Ellie (THE LAST OF US) and Eleven (STRANGER THINGS), you’ll like Jo’s books.
A self-taught screenwriter who learnt the craft when she binge-watched BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, Jo’s writing life began when she created the ground-breaking, critically acclaimed CBBC action fantasy television series, SPIRIT WARRIORS, which introduced leading actress, Jessica Henwick (GAME OF THRONES, STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKES, and upcoming Marvel/Netflix show, IRON FIST) to the screen. Granted the biggest budget ever given to a CBBC show at the time, it was nominated for “Best Children’s Programme” at the 2011 Broadcast Awards, with Jo herself, going on to win the Women in Film & Television’s “New Talent” Award in 2010.
Since then, Jo has worked with some of the most acclaimed producers in the world with several television shows and movies currently in development.
Jo lives in London and hopes one day to travel across America in a super kitted out, Zombie-apocalypse-ready RV, with her lovely fella, Matt, and three equally lovely kitties.

The Aberration: Special Edition
About The Aberration: Special Edition
Blood is spilled. A beacon is activated. A threshold opens. Untold horrors emerge. This is what is known as an Aberration. For thousands of years, we have been protected by Wardsmen who give their lives to keep us safe. But over the ages their numbers have dwindled. Now, one man may be all that stands between us and the terrifying world that lies beyond.
This special edition of the terrifying novel by Bard Constantine includes three related short stories, bridging the gap to the sequel, Torment of Tantalus.
When a coworker inexplicably commits suicide on the job, Guy knows it won’t be a normal day. But Guy’s life has never been normal. He is plagued by murky visions of past lives, and bizarre creatures that slink in the shadows and gorge on blood. For a long time, Guy has been convinced those vivid dreams are simply indicators of his obsession with unexplained phenomena and paranormal events.
He will be proved wrong.
When a freak storm engulfs his milling facility, he and his coworkers quickly learn there is much more to fear than just heavy rain. Something else arrives with the storm—macabre beings that alter their shapes and features with every attack. Guy’s coworkers will be forced to rely on him to survive, despite questioning his sanity. For he claims to have faced the same attacks before, over ages of time.
Fear unleashes, and horror evolves. Guy and his coworkers will be forced to the brink of sanity and mortality in order to survive the night and find out the terrifying secret of the Aberration.
This edition includes the original story along with three related short stories: The Blurred Man: Gestalt, Nemesis, and The Blurred Man.

This is where I get the chance to explain myself. Listen very carefully because you can’t hear the written word. If you could, it would sound like keyboard clicks, with the ghostly echoes of typewriter strokes haunted by the soft whisper of pen or pencil intimately caressing the page.
I am a writer.
So I dance between reality and worlds of mist and shadow, where gritty futures and far-flung fantasy await. I have always been a teller of stories, born from a love affair with books. It was only a matter of time before I became an author. I write the stories I love to read, and can only hope you will love to read them as well. Thank you for taking a chance on my work, and please let me know what you honestly think.
