Rabbit Moon by Jan D Payne
About Rabbit Moon by Jan D Payne
Everyone says you can’t go back home, but Dinetah, the Navajo Nation, is a place Marin Sinclair feels she has no right to claim as home. There are dark memories for her there, most of them wrapped up in the struggle to reconcile an Anglo worldview with that of the Navajo culture. She doesn’t expect that responding to a plea from a long ago Dineh friend will put her life in jeopardy, but Navajoland was ever a place to hold mysteries. The mystery now is what about her life then would make someone want to kill her?
Sgt. Justin Blue Eyes of the Navajo Nation Police shares a connection with Marin from the past, and he has the same question plus a few, including why the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission would send a top government agent to investigate the abandoned uranium mines on Navajo tribal lands—mines that in the past exposed hundreds of Native American miners to cancer-causing radiation. But first he needs to find Marin, and it looks like she has gone off the grid—on her own in the Lukachukai mountains with a killer close behind.

About Darko: The Sacred Heart of One Johanee Darko
“An amazing and well-told tale…Simply brilliant..” ..” Duff McKagan, Guns N’ Roses Bass Player
If there ever was a time when our world needed healing, that time would be now.
Darko is a perfect parable for the times, offering the promise of hope.

She is the essence of love and innocence.
This epic tale of spirit and faith that will both inform and illuminate. In Johanee, we see the coming of a female messiah who may very well be the last and best hope to save the world.

Cutthroat Cheerleader by Zachary Ryan
About Featured Book: Cutthroat Cheerleader by Zachary Ryan
In the sleepy town of Townsend, Washington, there was an act so gruesome that no one would ever be the same. What heinous crime do I speak of? Skylar Torres thinking she could pull off a crop top with that pudgy body of hers. Oh, did you think I was going to say my murder. Well, I thought it was more sensational than anything else, but the real scandal was who killed me and why.
You should already know my name since it was on everyone’s lips once they found me with my throat ripped out. People thought they should have only feared me, but the Liberty Lion’s cheer squad knew one thing, hunt or be hunted.
No one’s hands were truly clean from all the dirt and blood on them. Be safe, watch your back and always remember, Happy Hunting.
Love

Pandora’s Gardener by David C Mason
About Pandora’s Gardener by David C Mason
There’s a war being waged between two secret factions. At stake is the heart of democracy itself.
The key to victory is a small, seemingly harmless, piece of computer hardware, which in the wrong hands, could bring about a technological Dark Age. The race is on to find it as a trail of death is left in its path.
John Cranston is a gardener. He’s not really interested in global domination, he’d much rather mow a lawn. He’s the current keeper of that harmless looking thing.
The problem is – he’s the last person to know.
Meanwhile, Detective Inspector Sutherland and his sidekick Sergeant Bludgeon are working on the mystery of the missing accountants, little knowing that this will lead them into something darker and more sinister, as their paths cross and diverge from the gardener on the run.

Author Bio:
Born in the East End of London before it became gentrified, or the subject of a well known soap opera, David C Mason spent most of his previous working life climbing a corporate greased pole.
Having become fluent in management speak and able to nod with gravitas while listening to a lot of business twaddle he realised that he was in danger of being too far gone for salvation. He moved to the seaside town of Bexhill-on-Sea and within a few years decided to do something more interesting.
Pandora’s Gardener is his first published work of fiction. Having spent most of his previous life writing plans, outlines, strategies and business cases, he is no stranger to making things up. He thought it would be shame to let all that experience go to waste.
When he’s not writing or wandering around with his camera, he spends a lot of time reminding people that Bexhill-on-Sea is nowhere “near Brighton.”
The Deeper Dark by Michael Allen
About The Deeper Dark by Michael Allen
A fighter pilot endures years in a POW camp in Afghanistan after his jet experiences equipment failure while on a routine mission. By some strange miracle one day after years of incarceration, Captain Haven Kayd finds a way to escape.
Meanwhile, his wife was informed of his death and has moved on with her life. So has his daughter who has been growing up on her own without a father since his disappearance. To their surprise, they are visited one day by two Marines who are there to inform them that Haven is in fact still alive.
Haven’s return shocks the nation and his life is celebrated while he’s simply trying to play catch up in a world that went on without him. It’s not long before he stumbles onto the truth, a scandalous truth that finds him mixed up in the middle of unbelievable corruption. Not only was his plane meant to go down, but he was meant to die. And that just scratches the surface of how evil this scandal gets.
As the truth comes out, he finds himself pitted against an enemy he once thought was on his side. An invisible enemy that reaches quite high and has resources far beyond Haven’s imagination. But they have no idea how far Haven is willing to go once they threaten the one very special person he has left in his life.
There are bad hackers, and then there are some good ones.

Author Bio:
I have been an author since 2003 when I wrote my first novel ‘A Danger to Society.’ Since then, I have written ‘A River in the Ocean’ and ‘The Deeper Dark’ as well as the children’s book ‘When You Miss Me.’ I have always been a writer though. I started when I was six years old and I wrote short stories as well as poems throughout high school. I wrote while I was in the Marine Corps and I kept writing while I put myself through college. In fact, I wrote a grant for the college as well as a guide for tutors while I was there. It’s just something that has come natural to me and I’ve always enjoyed doing.
Through My Eyes: Humanity’s Unwitting Downfall
About Through My Eyes: Humanity’s Unwitting Downfall
If a device capable of letting us experience the world through another person was invented, what would happen to humanity?
A thought-provoking, high-concept dive into human nature in three acts.
Harold has been warning the public for decades. The machines he worked on during his younger years have paved the way to a new addiction. One in which the danger is hidden under the guise of the world’s most sought-out virtue — empathy.
The Empathy Machine is a neuroscientific milestone. It allows an Observer to see the world through the eyes of their Source. They experience the world through others’ senses and emotions — feeling what the other feels and forgetting themselves in the process.
For the first time in history, you can literally walk in someone else’s shoes. This resolves all the disputes mankind has been unable to resolve up to that point. The giant caveat is that the person receiving someone else’s signal becomes catatonic and addicted. Nothing will make them want to get out of the machine. Hence, birthing a generation of zombies.
For die-hard Observer, Ryan, every day is an adventure. Through his Source, Alan, he is able to live the life of a fearless vigilante. But somewhere along the way, Ryan meets another Source, N, who unwittingly shows him just how sinister the Empathy Machines can be.

A cat lover from an early age, Peter Scottsdale wrote his first cat tale, “The Cat and the Dog,” in a grade three creative writing exercise – the story of a cat and a dog lost in the woods, and the police shooting the dog for some reason. Peter drew inspiration for the story from Disney’s The Incredible Journey.
Inspired by such books as Hardy Boys Mysteries, Marvel Comics and Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Scottsdale wrote several published short stories with his grade nine English teacher.
Then life happened. Scottsdale stopped writing, only scribbling bits of story every so often. A family came along which turned into single parenthood. He raised his kids and wrote here-and-there.
Throughout his life, cats have been a welcome and influencing presence. From Tia (a Siamese) to Booties (a Tabby with White) to Rusty (an orange boy with little ears) to Sam the Siamese, Peter has loved all his felines (and still does). He’s loved all his cats so much so he started to write about them. They have inspired and delighted him to create cat stories and to find feline facts for his books.
Cat lover turned author, Peter Scottsdale published his first book, 365 Fascinating Facts You Didn’t Know About Your Cat, in 2012. He followed that with “The Christmas Cat” and “The Christmas Cat 2.” Recently, he released How Do Cats Do That? and Why Do Cats Do That? all online.
An English Major, Scottsdale graduated from Medicine Hat College with an Associate of Arts Diploma in 1995. He continues to research our furry felines and write cat fiction and non-fiction and hopes fellow kitty-cat people will enjoy his work.
Currently, he resides in Medicine Hat, AB with his two cats: Tanzy (the feisty feline) and Alley (the mischief maker).

Raising Good Humans
About Raising Good Humans
A kinder, more compassionate world starts with kind and compassionate kids. In Raising Good Humans, you’ll find powerful and practical strategies to break free from “reactive parenting” habits and raise kind, cooperative, and confident kids.
Whether you’re running late for school, trying to get your child to eat their vegetables, or dealing with an epic meltdown in the checkout line at a grocery store—being a parent is hard work! And, as parents, many of us react in times of stress without thinking—often by yelling. But what if, instead of always reacting on autopilot, you could respond thoughtfully in those moments, keep your cool, and get from A to B on time and in one piece?
With this book, you’ll find powerful mindfulness skills for calming your own stress response when difficult emotions arise. You’ll also discover strategies for cultivating respectful communication, effective conflict resolution, and reflective listening. In the process, you’ll learn to examine your own unhelpful patterns and ingrained reactions that reflect the generational habits shaped by your parents, so you can break the cycle and respond to your children in more skillful ways.
When children experience a parent reacting with kindness and patience, they learn to act with kindness as well—thereby altering generational patterns for a kinder, more compassionate future. With this essential guide, you’ll see how changing your own “autopilot reactions” can create a lasting positive impact, not just for your kids, but for generations to come.

Real Duke, Fake Love by Phoebe Buck
About Real Duke, Fake Love by Phoebe Buck
It was supposed to be easy. One month pretending to be the Duke’s fiancée and I’d walk away with 100 thousand dollars to restart my life.
I get a free trip to the English countryside and a boat load of cash, and he gets a lady on his arm. All I have to do is show up and look pretty. But from the second I arrive, the charming veneer begins to chip away and the Duke seems determined to make my life a living hell.
The one bright spot is his handsome, rugged older brother. The Duke may be a dud, but Ed makes the whole trip worth it. As we get to know each other and the tough guy persona melts, I realize there might be real love for me here after all.
The only problem is, giving into my attraction to Ed means risking the cash. Can I resist his broad shoulders and steely eyes long enough to fulfill the contract? If I can hold out until the end of the month, I just might walkaway with the money and the guy.
“Real Duke, Fake Love” is the first novel in the Wiltshire Aristocrats contemporary steamy romantic comedy series. It is a full-length, stand-alone novel with a HEA and no cliffhangers. If you love sexy royals, romantic scenery, and rugged gentleman, you’ll love Phoebe Buck’s debut novel!
