California Man
Painfully shy bookstore owner, Emily Welland, wishes she were a confident, kick-butt kind of woman, but she just . . . isn’t. And if a man–not that there are many–shows an interest in her, her reactions are predictable, disbelief and panic attacks. For Emily, hiding in the background is her best defense.
Quinn Ramsay, a brilliantly successful celebrity entrepreneur, has some thinking to do about his business and his life. To do that, he needs a break from the tabloids, red carpets, and bright lights. Salt Spring Island in the Pacific Northwest offers the perfect getaway, and it has a great bookstore. Quinn plans to do a lot of reading. Not in his plan is being attracted to the store’s timid, reclusive owner who shuts down even his most innocent overtures.
Quinn doesn’t get why Emily hides behind books, glasses, and big sweaters, but he intends to find out.
It all begins with a bike ride . . .

Die by the Blade by James Mace
About Die by the Blade by James Mace
The year is 77 A.D. On the frontier of the Roman Empire, a Dacian man named Verus is captured and enslaved during an imperial raid north of the Danube. He is sent to a rock quarry known as The Pit, as one among thousands of fresh slaves needed to mine marble for Emperor Vespasian’s new amphitheatre. Funded by spoils taken during the Siege of Jerusalem, the Emperor promises it will be the largest gladiatorial arena ever; his personal gift to the people of Rome. Requiring years of herculean labour and millions of cubic feet in stone, Vespasian’s son, Titus, worries whether his father will live to see its completion.
After months of back-breaking suffering and toil, Verus is taken from The Pit to become a gladiator. Whether by chance or fate, he knows that only by making a pact with death will he have a chance at life. In a savage world of blood, sweat, sand, and steel, his very soul is forged, until he no longer remembers the man he once was. As the Flavian Amphitheatre nears completion, with the possibility of fighting before the Emperor himself, Verus swears to either win his cherished freedom, or ignominiously die by the blade.

Atlas appreciates any good story, but usually prefers alternate worlds that present challenges to test and bring out true characters.
He believes fictional writing is an extension of oneself and a look into the writer’s deepest and most personal thoughts. His blending of east and west is a result of his inclusive upbringing that has encouraged him to see the good (and bad) in different people and cultures.
Atlas hopes not only to entertain you with his writing, but also to have you feel what you might be reluctant to admit you feel in the ever-bustling and demanding reality. So now that you’re here, please sit back and allow him to take you on a journey.
The Namarielle by Julien Jamar
About The Namarielle by Julien Jamar
Only three people in the Kingdom of Lashai know that the youngest Namarielle survived the Midnight Revolution. Her Nanna, who has raised her in hiding, Elian, the Fontre who fell in love with her, and Devilan, the Fontre who tried to kill her. Fourteen years later, her hiding place discovered, Cassai is thrown into an unexpected fight for survival, and to save the kingdom she never knew she was born to rule.
Only $0.99 on Amazon until April 17th!
Excerpt form the the book:
Hollis studied her face in the light of the campfire. “So, how does a shepherd girl find herself in the Forest of Fondair, heading to the Kiatri to lead a crusade against the Fontre?”
Cassai had untied her braid and was unraveling it. The curls tangled themselves around her small fingers. “Not a crusade, war. Lashai belongs to us. We were a free, peaceful people under the Namarielle. The land flourished, and the people had plenty. The Fontre took everything: our herds, our crops, our money, they even burned down our churches. Why would they do that?”
Her gaze had fallen into the darkness between the trees, and Hollis assumed this was a rhetorical question. “So, we’re going to fight them; our small band of Keepers and anyone else we can find to join us will fight for our Lashai. And if no one else joins, I’ll fight them alone. I just can’t live as their slave. I won’t.”

Dragon Lord
The world outside the cities went to hell a long time ago. When pollution got so bad it burned away the ozone layer, humans built protective domes in order to survive. Now, between the radiated air and the fighting among dragons and phoenixes, it’s not safe to go outside.
I’m a transporter. Self employed in a dangerous world, delivering valuable goods from client to recipient. But I never take on the more lucrative dome to dome jobs.
When someone breaks into my apartment looking to hire me, I refuse flat out. One, I don’t like being forced. Two, the job requires leaving the dome. Three, the package is a sun-sick kid. Half-human, half-phoenix and I’m supposed to take him back to his phoenix family. Oh hell no!
But the client reveals he knows my secret, blackmailing me into a job I don’t want with stakes that grow higher each day.
I have to take the kid straight through the Dragon Lord’s territory. Everyone knows that’s suicide. Coming face to face with the dominant, sexy Dragon Lord reveals the truth about my heritage and puts me in more danger than I knew existed.

Murder Over Cocktails
Private Investigator Nicoli “Nikki” Hunter, has recovered from a near-fatal encounter with a multiple murderer, and is happy to get back to her regular bar and restaurant surveillance jobs. Unfortunately, the universe has other plans. One evening, (as she’s acting as a decoy/victim to attract a bartender bent on sexual harassment), Jack “The Cat” McGuire settles on an adjacent bar stool and tells her a story that will alter the course of her life.
Murder Over Cocktails is the second mystery featuring PI Nikki Hunter, a thirty-six-year-old gun-toting brainy beauty who excels at getting into other people’s business. Hunter’s office is in a marina complex in Redwood City, California, where she also lives aboard a forty-six foot Cheoy Lee sailboat.
Jack McGuire is a professional cat burglar who stumbled upon videotapes of five gruesome murders while robbing the killer’s house. In Murder Over Cocktails, Nikki divides her time between the complexities of her regular surveillance work and Jack’s case. He can’t go to the police for obvious reasons and, after their chance meeting in a bar, he hires Nikki hoping she can find a way to stop the predator before more lives are lost.
At Nikki’s urging Jack returns to the killer’s home, steals and copies the tapes, and brings them to her office. Seeing the horror first hand, Nikki commits herself to stopping the monster who is responsible.
Initially Nikki attempts to enlist the aid of her sometimes significant other, Redwood City Homicide Detective Bill Anderson, but he’s a by-the-book kind of cop, unwilling to break the rules, even for Nikki. So without any help from Bill or the police, Nikki must once again play the decoy/victim, this time putting her life on the line to catch a sadistic serial killer in the act.
The author, Nancy Skopin, was a 2015 Beverly Hills Book Award winner for her first novel, Murder On The Menu. She is a native of California currently living on the Oregon coast with her husband and their dogs.
