About Awen Rising, A Near-Future Pre-Apocalyptic Urban Fantasy by O. J. Barré

FREE from 10/21 thru 10/25/21

A secret society of Druids.
An ancient Reptilian foe.
Earth teeters in the balance.

Bankrupt and broken, Emily would give anything for a safe place to hide from the witch Shalane. But when her long-lost Druid family tracks Emily down and offers her haven, she balks at the “Must Save Earth” clause. As fate in the guise of crappy luck reveals her to her witchy stalker, Emily is forced to accept the Druids’ proposition despite its blatantly outrageous terms.

At their headquarters in Atlanta, Emily learns several shocking secrets. She was kidnapped by the mother who raised her on the run. Her real father and his Druid followers believe Emily is Earth’s only hope. And a dark, forgotten foe lurks beneath Humanity’s feet.

As these Reptilians engineer a plan to breach Earth’s unsuspecting borders, Emily desperately seeks to unleash the powers the Druids swear she possesses. Can a sexy druid priest, his teenage nephew, and their animal Elders tilt the odds in Emily’s favor?

Author Bio:
O.J. Barré hails from the lushly forested, red-clay hills near Atlanta, Georgia. From birth, O.J. was a force of nature. Barefoot and freckled, headstrong and gifted; she was, and is, sensitive to a fault. Books became her refuge as a young child, allowing O.J. to escape the confines of her turbulent alcoholic home on adventures to untold places and times. Her daddy’s mother was a Willoughby, making O.J. a direct descendant of William the Conqueror. Her Awen series is a love letter to that distant past.

Many of O.J.’s favorite novels are those with animal characters. In the early 2000s, Terry Brooks’ Magic Kingdom for Sale/Sold leapt off the racks of her local Barnes & Noble and into her hands, changing O.J.’s life forever. With its quirky dog-scribe Abernathy and the other talking animal and earth characters, this series became one of O.J.’s favorites. Brooks’ juxtaposition of a fantastical world within our day-to-day one directly influenced the creation of the Awen trilogy. O.J.’s love of meditation, natural healing, nature, and cinema can also be found in the pages of her novels.

About Split City: A Jesus Spares Mystery

MEET BILLY GILLS, AN AMATEUR SLEUTH FOR THE AGES…OR AT LEAST FOR THE NEXT 300 PAGES.

Murder sees double in the Catskills when former pro bowler Billy Gills finds himself summoned to the Partridgeberry County morgue to identify the body of his identical twin brother Bo. Billy is the proprietor of Split City Lanes, a classic hometown bowling alley, located in the charmingly rundown, lakeside town of Twin Strikes. Partridgeberry and Twin Strikes are peopled by a hearty band of upstaters and oddball characters—an unlikely setting for murder. But Bo is the founder of TreadBo, a successful specialty bowling shoe manufacturer; he is famous for his quirky sense of fashion, fitness fanaticism, and unusual hobbies, which may have gotten him into trouble. Not to mention, Billy has some demons of his own to slay. Fortunately, Split City Lanes is also home to “Jesus Spares”, a church service, bowling, and social gathering where almost anything can happen. Billy may need every ounce of faith he has to discover the truth about himself and his eccentric twin brother.

The first hint of Andy Straka’s future as a mystery writer came at the age of four when he appeared at his small-town neighbor’s back door carrying a butcher’s knife. Thankfully, the neighbor called Andy’s mother instead of social services.

Featured by Publishers Weekly among a group of “rising stars” in crime fiction, Andy is a past finalist for the Agatha Award and the Anthony Award and the author of the Shamus Award-winning Frank Pavlicek private eye series. His books have sold over 400,000 copies, including the #1 bestselling A Witness Above. Andy is a former college basketball player, a licensed falconer, and longtime husband and father.

About The Greatest Gift

Thirty-something Kallie Molloy enjoys a nice life in sunny San Diego, California, but when her world begins to unravel quickly and very unexpectedly, she’s left flailing. Out of the blue, an old contact reaches out with an unlikely job offer from a professional soccer club in Minnesota. It stirs up some old emotions, and moving halfway across country wasn’t her ideal plan, but she has few options. Will a leap of faith provide the fresh start she needs?

Several years earlier, one tragic night sent Chris Bedford’s life into a tailspin. Overwhelmed by the constant, plaguing reminders of that life, he quietly skips town in the middle of the night with his young daughter, trading small town charm for the anonymity of big city life in Chicago. As Chris struggles with parenting his now teenage daughter, he contemplates moving closer to the only other family she has, nearer to her roots. Will a return to the same place that still haunts him…save him?

Retired attorney and unassuming widower, Stanley Beckham, occupies his days operating The Study, a bookstore-coffee shop inspired by his late wife. He’s managed to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and serving an eclectic mix of customers has kept his mind sharp, but some late night soul-searching has recently brought more questions than answers. Is Stanley honoring his lost love or is he just marking time?

Author Bio:
Reared in Norfolk, Nebraska and currently residing in San Diego, California, I've met people who have had an influence on me at every point in between. The priceless experience of a childhood in Nebraska exposed me to a wealth of character material and a lot of damn nice people.

In addition to the indelible imprint left by midwestern sensibilities, I've been fortunate enough to have spent time in the U.S. Marine Corps, college, and law school, each of which provided unique experiences, interesting observations on life, and at the very least, potential character composites. After several false starts and wanting to write for a long time, I dove in, thanks to a thoughtful nudge from my wife. Unwittingly, she has become the sole beneficiary of my annoying, but hopefully marginally entertaining observations and early-stage ideas, as the quest to unearth the next plot rages on. When I'm not writing, I'm usually reading a rotation of four or five books–strategically placed throughout the house–that range in subject matter depending on my mood and purpose.

Aside from that, I love movies-watching them, quoting them, etc., live music-especially blues, hearing my wife sing, the privilege of being a father and all that that entails, and watching college baseball and football.

About Reflections of JWST: Exploring the Cosmos by Maynard Hurley

One of humankind’s most significant technical achievements was the moon landing from the sixties. But what has NASA been up to lately, you might ask. Well, for the past twenty years, NASA has been quietly building the James Webb Space Telescope. The technical challenges are unrivaled, even by the incredible moon landing, some fifty years ago.

When the “Origami Telescope” unfolds in October 2021, taking on the dimensions of a tennis court, it will be 100 times more powerful than the legendary Hubble Space Telescope. Moreover, it’s a “time machine,” so sophisticated that we can look at the delicate signatures of the past, some 14 billion years ago! This fantastic tool is a product of the skillful hands and ingenious minds of over 2000 talented engineers, scientists, and technicians. Humankind will soon see the universe as never before.

This is a Very short, but thought-provoking look at how our understanding of the Cosmos is about to change and how our place in it will be re-envisioned. There are eight open-form poems with vivid imagery.

Author Bio:
Ever since childhood, I was in preparation as a toolmaker to the Cosmos. I was a telescope mirror maker, to be specific. Dad had always made telescopes even before I arrived in 1957. He was the master optician at Kitt Peak, making the world’s biggest telescope mirrors that collected light for monstrous mountaintop observatories. I grew up with telescopes in my blood. We joined forces after college.

We worked together as father and son partners, making big mirrors in the desert. I learned from the master where he taught me the refined secrets as only he could. After a decade, we separated unwillingly with his early passing, and I was alone to carry on the family tradition. I took this expertise and added a graduate degree to augment myself before joining Kodak for even more, and this time “top secret,” telescope making. By now, I ascended to the next level in both technology and passion. In 2004, after a good seven-year run, opportunity raised its surprising head and enticed me away from the “dark side” with the promise of the James Webb Space Telescope. We called it Webb, the World’s most fantastic telescope project.

The Chief Engineer position at Thompson was the lure that caught this fish. Soon I was transported west to California for more telescope making fun. We were to polish Webb’s mirrors and eventually deliver them to the origami space telescope, which unfolds as it traverses to a solar orbit some million miles from its creators.

When the “Origami Telescope” unfolds in December 2021, taking on the dimensions of a tennis court, it will be 100 times more powerful than the legendary Hubble Space Telescope. Moreover, it’s a “time machine,” so sophisticated that we can look at the delicate signatures of the past, some 14 billion years ago! This fantastic tool is a product of the skillful hands and ingenious minds of over 2000 talented engineers, scientists, and technicians. Humankind will soon see the universe as never before.

As I age and reminisce, I feel obligated to share my story; our story, the Webb mirror makers, the “Webbsters.” I reflect and realize that I too am “out of warranty,” if you will. Here is my story and Welcome to my world.

About Balloon: Altitude by Christopher Keith

Great things never come from comfort zones. In an era of exploration like never before, they must rise to the challenge. And dare to fall.

Fable Sky, the world’s largest zero-pressure helium balloon, embarks on its inaugural flight into the stratosphere.

The space tourism project has taken many years, the assembly of a highly trained crew and a small fortune to get off the ground. If everything goes well, it will be a flight of discovery and transformation, a triumph of the human imagination. Furthermore, the commercial possibilities will ensure a prosperous future, targeting people yearning for a taste of space.

When the mission is turned upside down at 138,000 feet, things quickly spin out of control, putting the crew’s lives in danger. It will need the project leader and captain, Will, to draw on all his experience and pull them together for what will be an event that could change the course of human history – and possibly end it.

Christopher Keith is the author of Lifeline, Clotho and the Balloon trilogy series.

He graduated with qualifications in education, creative writing, editing and publishing, adding to those he obtained during the much-too-distant 90s in business and finance – indecisiveness at its finest right there.

​Christopher has always been passionate about education and creative writing. This perfect combination of disciplines helped him develop his style, and there are no limits to the occasional dark nature of his imagination. Creative at heart, he enjoys videography and graphic design. His true passion, however, is writing high-stakes, action-packed thrillers, the ultimate escapism.

Born and raised in southern England, which serves as the backdrop to his novels, he now lives in Sydney with his wife and two children.

About The Neighbor by Madama X

Neighbours in a small town will do whatever they need to do to earn enough money to get out and make it big. Including making an attempt at writing female erotica.

To help their creative process, they make a friendly wager to see who can survive the longest if they were to stop masturbating until their story is finished. The writing goes nowhere as their frustration builds, while each tries to undermine the resolve of the other by using sexual temptations designed to make the other one break. Who will be the last one left standing? Or the first one lying down?

You will be emotionally invested in the outcome. She wants her readers to be thinking about the story long after they have turned the last page.

So, buckle up and take a Paige Dearth life changing journey. It may take you into a new world of renewed enlightenment to make a difference and change the life of a child.

About The Shikoku Pilgrimage – Japan’s Sacred Trail by John Lander

– Evocative photographs of one of the world’s most famous pilgimages
– All 88 temples illustrated and discussed
– Includes accounts by former pilgrims

The Shikoku Pilgrimage on the island of the same name is one of the few circular pilgrimages in the world. At 1,200 kilometers in length, the trail includes 88 temples and passes through diverse countryside such as idyllic bamboo groves, deserted beaches and ordinary Japanese neighborhoods. There is a long tradition of pilgrimage in Japan, dating back at least to the time of the renowned monk, poet and philosopher Kobo Daishi (774-825) who is particularly associated with this trail. John Lander, long-time resident of Japan, author and photographer, has visited and recorded every temple in evocative images, as well as providing fascinating details about the origin of the trail and what the pilgrimage means to the thousands who undertake it every year. The pilgrimage is undertaken for many reasons – to have a time of reflection away from everyday life, as a spiritual journey or as a healing period after a traumatic life experience. Along the way, pilgrims will encounter ordinary Japanese people and learn to understand the custom of o-settai, or charitable giving

The timid hedgehog finds her hidden courage as she confronts owls and a flooding river. But bravery might not be enough to tackle the wily badger who rules over the largest animal colony in the forest.

“Never go looking for The Furrow.” Father Hedgehog had always warned his children of the dangers hidden in the legendary animal colony in the forest—The Furrow. Heed had no intention of disobeying her father.

However, fate had other plans for her. A raging flood took her to the deepest and darkest part of the forest, where she was given refuge by three friendly hamsters. But they also led her to The Furrow— a place with a long history of treachery and a cunning leader—Furrer the badger. Faced with certain death, Heed scrambled to get back home. Unfortunately, to do so, she had to place her trust in a mad ferret, and her survival depended on finding courage and loyalty in the mysterious glittering tunnels of The Furrow.

Follow Heed’s trail in this action-packed tale of adventure, friendship, and mystery.

Author Bio:
J. Roshni never imagined that she would write books. Instead, she dreamed of solving mysteries, traveling to faraway lands, and saving the world. However, being a hero proved to be quite tricky. So she decided to write about heroes—heroes who came in all shapes and sizes. Thus began her career as a children’s author.

The Hedgehog Trail series was shaped up during an underground cave trek. The small animals that she saw in that unlikely setting had their own stories to tell. That became a series of three books.

About A Business Affair

She’s promiscuous and unforgivably French. He’s handsome and a devoted man in uniform. They have an opposites-attract friendship, but he’s hoping a simple business affair can take them from friends to lovers…for the rest of their lives.

Aimeé Baillieu has made a name for herself in the kitchen and the bedroom. The French-born chef has been known to leave people speechless – in both areas of her life. And that’s just how she likes it. After learning her lesson the hard way, Aimeé knows two things to be true: A promiscuous lifestyle is satisfying and safe.

Christopher Finnegan is your everyday, wholesome, cop-next-door. He had the luxury of meeting Aimeé through mutual friends – her best friends, to be exact. Of course, since the day he laid eyes on her, his life has been one of longing and torture. But Chris is in the gut-wrenching, head-over-heels love game long term.

So far, Aimeé has successfully avoided her badgering friends and their insistence that there’s more between her and Christopher. But, when Aimeé plants a single, innocent kiss on his cheek, it changes everything. Aimeé realizes she’s not only lost interest in other men, she also can’t stop thinking about Christopher.

Ever since that soul-stealing kiss, Chris has been blinded by love and that undeniable nauseous feeling in the pit of his stomach. So it’s time he makes a move. And, if Aimeé is a fan of affairs, he’s happy to give her one.

A Business Affair is the laugh-out-loud third book in the Taking Chances contemporary romance series. If you like smart and sexy heroines, wholesome heroes, and comedic dialogue, then you’ll adore Katie Bachand’s playful promiscuous romp.

Hi, I’m Katie. Writer and lover of all things romance!

Here are a few highlights about me:
I’m the author of contemporary and sweet romance novels.
I have a reading obsession that can’t be cured.
I binge bake on the weekends.
I pretend to be Joanna Gaines when I decorate.
I think my husband is basically straight out of a romance novel.
I think my son and golden retriever are immeasurably adorable.
I have a passion for mid-day napping (though this one rarely happens).
We should be best friends! (Just kidding…but also, not really kidding).

Growing up, aside from English being the only class I was good at, and writing my life story in journals, I didn’t stumble upon my career as an author until ten years ago.
Long story short: I went through a breakup and read every romance novel I possibly could. Then I found mysteries, thrillers, and fantasies until those ran out. And one day, I walked into Barnes and Noble and realized I had read all of the books. Well, except for one. Writing Romance for Dummies. ’Twas then and there I wrote my first romance novel…and with heartfelt admittance…it really was for dummies.

Yup, you read that right.

Flash-forward ten years, and what has to be millions of words later, here I am today happily married with children in a beautiful suburb of Minneapolis, Minnesota. I’m doing what I love as an author, and have a reading hobby that’s a required by-product of my job. I’m basically living the dream.

I’d love to hear all about you and your love of romance, too! What makes you pick up a book and not want to put it down? And who you are as an amazing, fascinating person?
(Yes, locking yourself in your bathroom, away from your children, to eat cookies and read a chapter of the latest book you’re devouring just to escape makes you amazing and fascinating.)

If you’re up for it, I’d love to hear from you!

About The Kowalski Protocol: Death Feature by Armin Weber

* Download for Free on Amazon October 21-23 *

A Captain on a mission to save a Martian colony. A creature that shouldn’t exist. A hostile planet that offers no escape.

The year is 2187. Pitt Kowalski, Captain of the Chariot, and his crew, are flying through space to return to their home base on the Moon after completing a fateful mission. Along the way, he receives orders for a new assignment to redirect the ship to Mars, and head to the surface with a special team. Violent deaths have been reported in Ares City, the main colony, and all radio contact has been lost.

His orders are clear: find out what is happening, prevent more deaths, and save the surviving colonists.

But once Pitt realizes what he’s up against, it’s almost too late—for the colonists, for him, and for Zelinda Moretti, an Earthling that stirs up feelings within him unlike any he has ever had before.

Now, they must all fight for their lives. Can Pitt and the team save the colonists—and themselves?

Author Bio:
Armin Weber has been writing science fiction novels for years. As a child of the 1960s, he was amazed by Star Trek and other science fictions shows of the early 1970s. Since then, the fascination for science fiction has never disappeared.

His novels, which have been published in Germany to date, fluctuate between science fiction thrillers and military science fiction. The stories focus on the effects of technical and social progress on people.

His novels create an atmosphere of tension and fascination. Or, as Weber says: “Where it is not suspenseful, it must at least be interesting; and where it is interesting, it can still be suspenseful. That has always been my claim and it remains so to this day. The only story worth reading is a suspenseful story.”

Weber’s first novel to be translated to English is The Kowalski Protocol: Death Feature. More books in English are to follow soon.

About The Invasion of Heaven by Z.B Winters

“A heart pounding and fast paced story that will keep you turning pages and wanting more.”
“A fascinating and deeply thought provoking book.”

Enter a time where people have lost faith in God and their belief in the teachings of Christianity. A generation that sees the suffering of the world as a direct consequence of God’s excessive punishments and endless cruelty. An age that has risen in defiance and rebellion – clamoring for liberation and spiritual freedom. A world that no longer believes that Heaven is good for Humanity but a force that is extremely harmful to the Human Race.

Through the leadership of one man, Earth sends forth a powerful Army Battle Fleet with advanced weapons and technologies into the Kingdom of Heaven and the land of Angels to do one thing- end the reign of Heaven at all cost. Corporal Rick Brickman provides his personal account of the day the world starts a war of independence like none other in human history. A crusade that will take them across the Plains of Paradise and through the Gates of Hell.

The initial battle appears to progress well for the Attack Fleet as Corporal Brickman plays a major role in their advancements until Heaven sends forth a powerful Angelic Prince with his own armies and they respond with a global onslaught upon the Earth that has never before been seen by human eyes.

About The Crooked Path To A Charmed Life

This true story opens in a rural, strange little town in Eastern Washington, where a young clairvoyant medium, Bernadette Gold encounters real-life demons as her life is taken over by an unsolicited spiritual initiation. In the first chapter alone, she begins having prophetic visions, is face-to-face with a real-life demon living in her root cellar that throws her 1-year-old daughter against a hot woodstove. As her daughter’s hands blistered, Gold learns she has healing gifts, saving the little girl from harm. If that wasn’t enough, she must deliver an unwanted message to the church elders about an evil presence affecting church members, who decide she is speaking to demons and must be a witch.

Returning to Seattle, Bernadette Gold, resistant to exposing her gifts of clairvoyance and mediumship because of the abuse she faced as a child, goes on a harrowing journey. After her 3-year-old daughter is sexually molested, she is forced to face her past and embrace her spiritual gifts, so she can create a stable life for her daughter.

Bernadette faces her childhood traumas, which include; a narcissist mother, a visit from a Catholic priest at 5 years old, trying to exorcise her “imaginary friends,” being exiled to Hawaii, a failed suicide attempt as a teen, being violated at a mental hospital where she voluntarily admitted herself for suicide watch at 18-years-old to healing from rape, an abortion and racism.

In the end, Bernadette learns how to forgive herself and others, finally embracing her gifts as a medium. As she begins her career as a professional psychic, she encounters another powerful psychic who has killed several children in a satanic ritual. When helping a client that has demonic attachments, she finds herself in a dream, in hell, toe-to-toe with Satan, until the fire alarms in her home wake everyone up, including her.

Spanning 50+ years, this story inspires others to keep going even when life is difficult. As an Asian American Pacific Islander, who is Filipino/Portuguese with parents from Hawaii, she overcomes all the challenges of being mix-race as well as being different because of her extra-sensory abilities. No matter what hardship she endured, she remained kind, compassionate, honest, and now FEARLESS.
