1. Cupid’s Pursuit

   About Cupid’s Pursuit:

   Matthew Malarkey is a man on a mission. To find a soul mate. Matthew is a marketing manager for a health and fitness chain. Following the breakup of his marriage he has searched in vain for a new relationship. Encouraged by his good friend Cecil Delaney, he has done the social scene, trawling bars and clubs, but with no success in finding that meaningful connection. Cecil, a straight talking, cockney Londoner who loves to party, suggests that he tries the world of internet dating. Matthew signs up on line in the pursuit of love and embarks on a series of dating escapades, with a variety of ladies, only to find that Cupid does not make the quest for love easy. As Matthew searches for that elusive spark, he finds himself becoming involved in a succession of entanglements, culminating in a date he doesn’t want – with the law.

   Author Bio:
   I write what I call ‘serious humour.’ That is, a book with amusing characters and situations wrapped up in a serious plot. It is my view that there are already plenty of heavy, weighty works out there to challenge the intellect and perhaps, just occasionally, the reader might like something fun and light hearted. My aim then, is simply to entertain the reader and my style is light and easy on the consciousness but it doesn’t mean the story can’t have some complexities. And when you write ‘serious humour’ the story will have complexities! But, humour gives you licence to go where you choose….and I quite like that freedom.

   Cupid’s Pursuit is such a book….light and fun. However, beneath the comic adventures of the central character, Matthew Malarkey, lies a social comment on the internet dating phenomenon that will appeal to both male and female readers.

   A follow up novel, Vegas Pursuit, has now been released. Vegas takes Matthew on a big adventure to celebrate a big birthday where once more fate conspires to make life anything but straightforward!

   Most of the situations that appear in this series of books are based on real life. Yes, even the most outlandish ones but with the added flavour of poetic licence. My characters are a mix of the most extreme sides of a number of people I have encountered in real life with a healthy shovelful of imagination. I hope you enjoy them all.

2. Sir Edric’s Temple by Thaddeus White

   About Sir Edric’s Temple by Thaddeus White:

   When Sir Edric Greenlock, the Hero of Hornska, is summoned to attend the King in the dead of night he fears imminent execution. Committing adultery is frowned upon in King Lawrence’s domains, especially when it’s with Lawrence’s wife. The King, however, has something else in mind. Priceless royal treasures have been stolen, and the King dispatches Sir Edric to retrieve them in a mission that could optimistically be described as suicidal.

   Along the way he’ll battle rockheaded golems, terrible sorcery and the Ursk: a race of brutal slavers who consider humans to be a sort of edible currency.

   Accompanied by his pathologically loyal manservant Dog, the prudish elf Lysandra, and a man called Colin, he must travel to the Unholy Temple to retrieve the royal treasures from a mysterious thief.

   Author Bio:
   I’m Thaddeus White (actually that’s a lie, it’s a pen name), author of three books to date. Bane of Souls and Journey to Altmortis are full-length fantasy novels, and Sir Edric’s Temple is a fantasy comedy of middling length.

   At the moment I’m working on a short ghost story, and the first part of a trilogy set in the same world as Bane of Souls/Journey to Altmortis. I also plan to write more comedy (following Sir Edric and Dog’s misadventures) in the future.

   As well as reading fantasy I really enjoy classical history, and have recently gotten into medieval stuff (mostly 14th century). Away from books, I’m a big follower of F1 and since 2009 have bet and offered tips on the sport (mostly finishing ahead, although this season’s been a bit ropey).

   I’m an active member of the Chrons forums and Goodreads.

3. Bound to the Highlander

   About Bound to the Highlander:

   Aileana Chattan suffers a devastating loss, then discovers she is to wed neighboring chief and baron, James MacIntosh — a man she despises and whose loyalty deprived her of the father she loved. Despite him and his traitorous clan, Aileana will do her duty, but she doesn’t have to like it or him. But when the MacIntosh awakens something inside her so absolute and consuming, she is forced to question everything.

   James MacIntosh is a nobleman torn between tradition and progress. He must make a sacrifice if he is to help Scotland move forward as a unified country. Forced to sign a marriage contract years earlier binding Lady Aileana to him, James must find a way to break it, or risk losing all — including his heart.

   From the wild and rugged Highlands near Inverness to the dungeons of Edinburgh Castle, James and Aileana’s preconceptions of honor, duty and love are challenged at every adventurous turn.

   Author Bio:
   Kate Robbins writes historical romance novels out of pure escapism and a love for all things Scottish, not to mention a life-long enjoyment of reading romance. Her journey into storytelling began with a short screenplay she wrote, directed, and produced which was screened at the 2003 Nickel Film Festival in St. John’s, Newfoundland. She has also written and directed several stage plays for youth.

   Kate loves the research process and delving into secondary sources in order to give readers the most authentic historical romance possible. She has travelled to Scotland and has visited the sites described in her Highland Chiefs series.

   Bound to the Highlander is the first of three books set during the early fifteenth century during the reign of James Stewart, first of his name.

   Kate is the pen name of Debbie Robbins who lives in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada with her hubby, the man-beast, and her two awesome boys, the man-cubs.
