1. The War of the Black Tower: An Epic Fantasy

   About The War of the Black Tower: An Epic Fantasy:

   When a dark power rises, only a doomed prince can stand against it.

   “The Lord of the Black Tower: An Epic Fantasy” is a dark, swashbuckling epic fantasy.

   Baleron is the youngest son of the king of Havensrike, a land eternally at war with the dark empire of Oslog to the south. Ruled by Gilgaroth, the legions of Oslog have continually striven to tear down the works of man and sweep the world in darkness. For eons the dark masses have awaited their lord’s Chosen One, he who will be appointed by Gilgaroth to usher in the next age of shadow.

   That time is now. Baleron, though a womanizer and rogue, the black sheep of the royal family one step from being kicked out of the castle, is loyal to the kingdoms of the north and wants only to redeem himself in his father’s eyes. But as Baleron leads his sister Rolenya’s wedding party through the treacherous Aragst Mountains, they’re set upon by the dark powers, and the thralls of Gilgaroth call out to Baleron in worship, calling him the Chosen One.

   This is just the beginning of Baleron’s epic journey of action, romance, wonder and discovery begun in “War of the Black Tower: An Epic Fantasy”. He’ll know battle, hardship, the enmity of a terrible dragon, and all the terror of Oslog before he can find out what it means to be the Chosen One of Gilgaroth, and what it takes to throw off his dark destiny.

   Author Bio:
   I’m a novelist who has been working for years with a major literary agency. While I’m still working with them, I’ve grown weary of slogging my way through the publishing industry and have decided to take my career into my own hands.

   I’m going to start making certain of my works available through Amazon, both in print and as ebooks. I write epic fantasy, weird fiction and adventure, with a focus on atmosphere and fast pacing.

   I like Breaking Bad, LOST (yes, even Season 6), chocolate, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Mexican food, Star Wars, Casablanca, King Kong, Evil Dead, Lord of the Rings, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly — and pizza. Deep dish.

   I have a wife and two cats (though the cats would probably want me to put them first!).

   I want my readers to have a great time with my writing, no matter the genre. I hope you have as much fun reading my novels as I do writing them.

   I would love to hear back from you, so don’t hesitate to look me up on facebook at facebook.com/jack.conner.98 or just email me at jackconnerbooks@gmail.com .

   Until next time, happy reading

3. The Orphan’s Tale, Book I by Diana Wilder

   About The Orphan’s Tale, Book I by Diana Wilder:

   Autumn is beautiful in 1834 Paris. But to Chief Inspector Paul Malet, raised in a prison by the greatest master criminal in French history the season’s splendor is overlaid by a sense of gathering danger: something is afoot.

   When Malet learns that Victoria, England’s young Heiress Apparent, will be traveling to Paris at Christmas for a state visit, all becomes clear. Her assassination on French soil would shatter the accord between France and England. And war can be a profitable business for those criminals daring enough to mold events to suit their own purposes.

   Malet, sensitive to the workings of evil, embarks on a hunt. The safety of everything he loves is at stake, and he intends to fight this battle on ground of his own choosing.

   Intentions are not necessarily accomplishments. The foes Malet is fighting are formidable. Adding to his problems is the fact that he has succeeded in angering an urchin named Larouche, who is determined to bring him down or, at least, ruin his hat.

   The final complication is that Malet has fallen in love.

   It is going to be a busy autumn.

5. The Witch, The Wolf and The Vampire by A K Michaels

   About The Witch, The Wolf and The Vampire by A K Michaels:

   Peri has been running since she was fifteen – using her magic to stay safe. ‘They’ can track her magic tho, so she has to use it sparingly. In Vegas, for a cash in hand job, and things turn nasty! She knows the amount of magic she would have to use to escape unscathed would bring ‘them’ right to her.

   Before she can use the vast magic required two males appear and aid her. One a wolf, one an ancient vampire.

   Josef, the vampire, and Gabe, the wolf, are more than a little interested in this skinny girl. What ensues shocks both of the strong males – this girl is more than a stray, more than a witch – it looks like she is a mate – for both of them!?

   Will Peri stay? Will they keep her safe? Who, if any, of the two will she choose? Just how much power does this stripling of a girl have locked inside her?

   Adult content in this book!

6. “Ablaze” by Nancy Tesler

   About “Ablaze” by Nancy Tesler:

   From Nancy Tesler, author of the bestselling amateur sleuth “Other Deadly Things” series, comes a gripping tale of romance and deception, a love story about two people deeply attracted to each other but whose inability to work through past experiences keeps them apart.

   “YOU’RE GONE LADY. THERE’S NO PLACE ON THIS TEAM FOR HEADLINE GRABBERS”

   Samantha Barron, victim witness advocate for the Bergen County, NJ prosecutor’s office and a Munchausen by Proxy survivor, has her world shaken up when the man who threw her off his elite crisis response team for defying his orders and running into a burning building to save a dog. insinuates himself into a case involving the disappearance of one of her clients. A terrified young girl had shown up at Samantha’s office blurting out a story about having witnessed a horrific stabbing murder at the Greenwich Village Halloween parade; then suddenly bolts crying that she is a Judas, she should never have come. Samantha must put aside her feelings about this man, attorney, Douglas Ruark, with whom she had once been passionately in love. They are forced to work together to find and rescue the girl before the members of the destructive cult that they believe is holding her captive learn that she can identify the killer. In the process they begin to discover valuable truths about themselves, each other and the true meaning of love.

   When another eyewitness is found bludgeoned to death and a prostitute mysteriously kidnapped, Samantha, to Ruark’s distress, agrees to enter the cult house ostensibly as a perspective convert, but in reality as bait. From the relatively safe streets of suburbia to the remote country house of a malevolent sect, Samantha finds herself caught up in a society where power and greed rule, where “love” is given and withdrawn as a brainwashing technique, and life is cheap if you’re a troublemaking outsider…

   “Ablaze” will be on sale for less than half price from 3/14 through 3/20. For details about a current contest running through the end of March, like Nancy on Facebook (www.facebook.com/nancyteslerauthor)

   Author Bio:
   Nancy was born and raised in Worcester, Massachusetts and received a BFA from Carnegie Mellon University. After graduating college she embarked on an acting career that included off-Broadway, summer stock, TV, film, and a road company tour of the NATO bases in Europe. Following a hiatus to raise three children, she began writing for the stage, screen, and the financial community. A second career as a biofeedback clinician helped pay the bills when, suddenly single again and inspired by an overwhelming urge to knock someone off, she found the pen mightier than the sword, and wrote the “Other Deadly Things” series which deals with the murderously wacky world of the newly divorced where biofeedback stress reduction is the order of the day.

   Publisher’s Weekly called amateur sleuth, Carrie Carlin, “a clever, slightly neurotic heroine whose personal life is in disarray, the kind Susan Isaacs might put in a mystery.” Like her protagonist, Nancy admits to being slightly neurotic, to being a mother, a biofeedback practitioner, and a divorcee who has homicidal thoughts about Sirens and their songs but there the similarity ends. She’s squeamish. She would never, as Carrie does, let herself be used as bait in a sting operation or walk into situations where even a cop would fear to tread without backup. Like Thurber’s Walter Mitty, however, she enjoys a rich fantasy life.

   Of her work, one reviewer wrote “Nancy Tesler is the author of one of the most original and brilliant series featuring an amateur female detective. To the format of the traditional detective novel she brings emotional integrity and a deep sense of humor.” From another– “If you like loveable dysfunctional characters and a story that includes mayhem and murder, then you’ll be mad about this series.” And still another raved, “It is amateur sleuthing at its charming, endearing, laughable and surprising best.”

   Three of the five books in the series are set in northern New Jersey where Nancy raised her family. A longtime member of Mystery Writers of America, Sisters in Crime and Romance Writers of America, she now lives in sunny California with her new husband and her three rescue cats. It may be no coincidence that her latest book “Ablaze” is a romantic suspense.
