About Country in Bliss

** This clean/wholesome Hallmark style romance is only $0.99 through ebook retailers through June 2nd, 2021. **
(Blurb)
It’s another stressful day in the life of country star Blaze Shore, and after getting a call that Angel, the boy he mentors, must move in with strangers for the summer, he decides enough is enough.
Almost cold-cocking a woman he assumes to be a crazed fan will come back to bite him as he takes the reigns on his life and whisks Angel away to Bliss Cay for a summer vacation he’ll never forget.
But the vacation comes at a cost; postponing his tour leaves him at the mercy of his label, his manager, and his controlling father’s ire—but this career was never one he asked for.
Blaze pushes it all aside when he sees Angel becoming fast friends with the girl next door, Becca, but the moment he sees who steps out behind her, his heart drops. Her name is Cali Rose, mother to Becca, and the same woman he all but cold-cocked before coming to Bliss.
Cali and Blaze are forced to spend the summer together only through the grace of Angel and Becca’s friendship, yet as they slowly break each other down with amusing banter, their oil and water dynamic begins to shift.
When he reveals his true identity, will Cali go running to the hills? Or will she become the guiding light he desperately needs to face a career and a father that’s slowly taking over what Blaze wants the most in life—marriage, a family, and love, sweet love?

Justin has worked on Marvel and mobile games, and a TV hybrid AI show titled Rival Peak. His books are in such genres as military science fiction, epic fantasy, and thriller. On the screenwriting side, Justin has adapted novels, won contests, and optioned features and a television pilot to both indie and major studios.

Along with his time as a signals intelligence Marine, Justin has worked for the federal government, Federal Reserve Bank, taught martial arts, and can play three songs on the bagpipes. He studied creative writing at the Johns Hopkins MA program, and screenwriting at UCLA.

About Shadowblade

One assassin. One knight. One final choice.

Born and raised in a secret enclave of assassins, Aeryn knows one desire, one duty and one calling: serve the enclave. Her initiation is days away. Once she undertakes it, she’ll be a full-fledged master, devoted to the way of sword and shadow until her last days. She should be honored.

Instead, she can only remember questions that haunted her for years. Desperate for answers, Aeryn breaks the enclave’s highest rule: never leave its walls unaccompanied.

Soon, she collides with the hostile and mysterious Outside world, as well as a young knight who’s as eager to shirk his duties as she is to obey hers.

She may learn that being a great warrior means more than her masters taught her. But at what cost?

A group of teenage students, while exploring deep within the rainforest, barely survive an encounter with a wild, and surprisingly magical boar. In doing so, they discover that events have already been set into motion that threaten to destroy their entire civilization.

The Black Tide, the annual rampage of millions of giant ants through the rainforest, has been coerced by the Demon Queen to take a path that will send it tearing through the farmlands that support the Citadel, their home.

He learns that he’s no longer alone in his own body. His revelations lead the group of teenagers to discover that many of the leaders of the Citadel are similarly possessed.
