   Author Bio:
   Jill Shannon has been freelance writing for eight years, mostly covering motorcycle builds for two national magazines. This is her first novel and no, there are no motorcycles mentioned.

   “The first thing friends wonder is if Image of Deceit is about motorcycles, or landspeed racing. The answer seems to surprise them. They’ve gotten used to what I’ve been doing and that’s what they expect.”

   While Jill is passionate about riding and landspeed racing her 1941 Indian, writing gives her the same feeling of freedom.

   “I like to write about the ‘what if’s” that happen in life. Sometimes it takes an emotional roller coaster to find out a person is much tougher than they ever imagined they could be.”

   Look for her second novel to be released in the fall of 2014.

3. So Much Owed

   About So Much Owed:

   January,1918 – Dunderrig House, West Cork, Ireland.

   Dr Richard Buckley returns to his beloved Dunderrig, disillusioned and damaged by the futility of war. At his side is Solange Allingham, his best friend’s widow who has lost everything she ever loved.

After giving birth to twins, she withdraws into a silent world, finally leaving her family for strange new bedfellows. Solange is obliged to overcome her own heartbreak to become the mother Edith’s children so badly need. James and Juliet are inseparable and incorrigible and the life blood of Dunderrig. As they grow up, they come of age into a world where despite the horrors of the past, war looms large yet again.

   Author Bio:
   Jean Grainger is a former university lecturer, a tour guide, a teacher, a writer and a mom to four charming and infuriating (in equal measure) children. She lives with her husband and family in Cork, Ireland. Her first book, The Tour has a 4.5* rating on Amazon with over 90 reviews and frequently reaches the #1 position in its genre. She has a passion for history and her books, while fictional, are largely informed by her knowledge of particular historical eras. Her new book, So Much Owed is a fictionalized version of the research she undertook as part of a PhD thesis into Irish women’s involvement in the Second World War. She was particularly interested in France and the role women played in the French Resistance to the Nazis. She subsequently realized academic writing was not something that appealed to her, so she decided to pour her energies into fiction writing instead. She currently teaches English, History and Drama in a boy’s secondary school which requires a great sense of humor and no sense of smell.

4. Across Great Divides by Monique Roy

   About Across Great Divides by Monique Roy:

   Only 99 cents on Amazon!

   Across Great Divides is a timeless story of the upheavals of war, the power of family, and the resiliency of human spirit.

   When Hitler came to power in 1933, one Jewish family refused to be destroyed and defied the Nazis only to come up against another struggle—confronting apartheid in South Africa.

   Sixteen-year-old Eva and her twin sister, Inge, witness their lives in Berlin change before their eyes. Their best friend, Trudy, betrays them when she becomes a member of the Hitler Youth. A valuable family heirloom, a beautiful emerald and diamond pendant necklace, is confiscated by the Nazis as they continue to harass Jewish families and businesses.

   Their younger brother, Max, a member of the underground resistance, sees even greater danger ahead. Their father, Oskar, a diamond merchant with a thriving business, refuses to leave his beloved Germany and believes Hitler will eventually fail. Their mother, Helene, the elegant matriarch of the family, holds her family together.

   The family is conflicted whether they should leave home. But after the devastation of Kristallnacht in 1938, they finally flee Germany with the help of the underground resistance after hiding many diamonds. They seek refuge in Antwerp, but war follows them as Belgium is occupied by the Germans.

   A young German man, a nun, a countess conspiring against the Nazis, and a winegrower secretly hiding Jewish children, help them to escape Europe. They hike over the Pyrenees Mountains while eluding German patrols and Spanish informers. Then, they spend agonizing days on a ship bound for Rio de Janeiro that is targeted by a German U-boat. As Rio’s diamond business is corrupt, they decide to go to South Africa, another diamond market.

   In Cape Town, Eva encounters an impoverished colored woman, Zoe, who is in need of work. The family hires Zoe as their maid and shields her and her daughter, Zola, from the dangers they face in the slums of District Six and from the horrors of apartheid, which are all too reminiscent of Nazi Germany.

   But, when Max gets into trouble with the South African police over his participation in an anti-apartheid march, will he be subject to imprisonment?

   In a thrilling conclusion, the family comes to terms with the evils of society, both in their memories and current situation in South Africa.

6. American Warrior by James Snyder

   About American Warrior by James Snyder:

   The year is 1961. America has a new president, named John F. Kennedy, and a new era the newspapers are calling the Dawn of Camelot. But for ten-year-old Paul Brett, dealing with an abusive father and the immigrant gangs roaming his slum neighborhood of China Slough, America is only a small, dead-end place he is struggling to survive.

   That is, until the night a mysterious stranger comes out of the darkness to his rescue, and initiates a journey–an unforgettable odyssey–beyond his wildest imagination.

   From his unlikely beginnings in a brutal California migrant camp, into the darkest underbelly of a distant and unpopular war, to his final and, perhaps, most deadly struggle for survival inside the bowels of a near-medieval military prison, American Warrior follows one young man’s breathtaking and mesmerizing journey into hell.

   “A fast-paced…thoroughly engrossing story of a journey through pain and violence.” Kirkus Reviews

7. Widow, Virgin, Whore by Deanna Lynn Sletten

   About Widow, Virgin, Whore by Deanna Lynn Sletten:

   Three very different women−one house−one devastating diagnosis.

   When recently widowed Katherine Samuals purchases a home to share with her son, Christopher, and her best friend, Denise Richards, the last thing she expects is to include Denise’s outrageous sister, Darla Richards, into the household. But Katherine agrees because she adores Darla’s daughter, Chelsea, and feels this is a good opportunity to give the young teen a real home.

   Living with Darla is not easy. She parties too much, sleeps around, and speaks her mind without apology. To conservative Katherine and shy Denise, Darla’s behavior is intolerable. Then, Darla is diagnosed with AIDS, and the household is turned upside-down. Katherine finds herself thrown into Darla’s life, first as her caregiver, then as her companion as she explores the devastating lives of AIDS sufferers. Katherine’s fledgling writing career flourishes as she shares the experiences of Darla’s AIDS group in newspaper articles across the country. And Denise finds true love for the first time, but struggles with the inappropriate timing of her personal happiness. Surprisingly, Darla also finds love−real love−in a time when she needs it the most.

   As the household struggles with the stress of living with a terminal illness, Katherine, Denise, and Darla learn just how strong their bond of friendship, and sisterhood, is.

   If you are a sister or best friend, you will love this story.

8. Panic (Wildfire Chronicles Vol. 1) by K.R. Griffiths

   About Panic (Wildfire Chronicles Vol. 1) by K.R. Griffiths:

   Michael Evans is only in rural St. Davids to maintain a low profile after his time spent as a city cop ended in disaster. The town is perfect for him: isolated. A tiny population. Virtually no crime.

   Until the night the strange canisters fall from the sky and the town priest starts killing people with his teeth. To Michael, the bloodbath looks like a murder case that the quiet town’s two police officers can’t possibly handle.

   But this isn’t just a crime scene.

   And the priest is just the beginning…

   ***

   Q & A with the author

   Q. What is Wildfire Chronicles?

   At its core, Wildfire Chronicles is my take on the classic zombie apocalypse tale, but I wanted to put my own spin on it. So what we have is not zombies in the traditional sense, but something more targeted. Something with a little more purpose.

   Q. What was the original inspiration behind the story?

   There are numerous ways to answer that, but the very first idea was quite simple: what if you had one of those James Bond style villains – or even a whole network of them – but no James Bond to stop them? What if nobody knew anything about their plan to destroy the world before they actually implemented it? I thought it would be cool to explore the idea of one story starting where others might end. After that it seemed only natural to tell the story from the perspective of ordinary, everyday people whose lives are changed in an instant, and how they evolve to cope.

   Q. There aren’t too many zombie apocalypse tales set in Wales…

   I felt like the idea of an infection hitting a city has been done, and done very well. So I was interested to set the story in a place where isolation plays a key part. For some people, the virus won’t reach them for a while, and when it does, they won’t have easy access to supplies, or many ways to escape. And then there’s the lack of guns. There are very few in Wales, so few as to render them almost worthless. At least against the Infected…

   Q. What do you hope the reader gets out of Wildfire Chronicles?

   Pure entertainment, and hopefully a few chills along the way. After the initial scene-setting, the books are written in a fast, breathless sort of style. I’d categorize them as action-horror more than anything.

   Q. And finally, what is Project Wildfire?

   I’m afraid that’s classified.

   THE BOOK OF JANE by Susan M. Krauss will be discounted to $1.99 (regular price $3.99) from Friday, March 28, to Friday, April 11, 2014.

   Jane Barrett decides to pen her memoir after a college professor tells her she has had an interesting life, perhaps more tumultuous than interesting. Over a thirty-year period, Jane has to navigate many obstacles, including the demise of her marriage, the death of a child, and a physical assault. The most difficult conflict she faces is with herself; always self-conscious, her quest for happiness must include overcoming her insecurities. Her memoir is sometimes humorous but always painfully honest. The kind of character you think of long after you’ve finished her story, Jane seems an “everywoman” on the outside, but her strength and spirit make her–and her story–special.

    About Mine To Take:

    ***New York Times and USA Today Best-seller!***

    Sometimes you want someone so much…

    Sometimes you need someone so much…

    Lust can become love.

    And love can turn into a deadly obsession.

    ***

    Skye Sullivan knows that someone is watching her. Not just watching–stalking her. Months ago, Skye was involved in a dangerous car accident. The accident ended her dancing career and sent her fleeing back to Chicago. Skye is convinced that her stalker caused the crash, and she fears that he won’t stop pursuing her, not until she’s dead.

    When someone breaks into her apartment in Chicago, Skye turns to the one man she believes can protect her–Trace Weston. Once, Trace was her lover. Two lost souls, they’d come together in a firestorm of need and desire. But then Trace had pushed her away. He’d joined the military, vanishing from her life. She’d put all of her emotion into dancing, and she’d tried to forget him.

    Now Trace is one of the most successful men in the United States. Rich, driven, and carrying dark secrets, he agrees to help Skye. He’ll protect her from the danger that lurks in the darkness, but Trace wants more than to just be a guard for Skye.

    He wants her. And he’ll take her. The years have changed him, hardened him. He’s not just a poor kid from the streets any longer. Now, he can have anything–or anyone–that he wants. And the one woman he has always wanted has just come back into his life. He won’t let her go again.

    But with the threats mounting against Skye, she suspects that her stalker may be intimately close. He’s a man who knows her too well. As his attacks grow ever more dangerous, she realizes that if she trusts the wrong man, she could be making a fatal mistake.

    Lust. Love. Obsession.

    Just how far would you go in order to possess the one person you want the most?

12. Awaken (Book One) (Fated Saga Fantasy Series)

    About Awaken (Book One) (Fated Saga Fantasy Series):

    Summer fun is coming! And other than turning thirteen, twins, Meghan and Colin Jacoby, are looking forward to a typical summer… well, typical for them. Which means their uncle (and guardian) will pull into the Cobbscott Campground and park his travel trailer for three full months.

    Normally, they’d never spend more than a couple weeks in any one place, their uncle preferring to move around. But only until summer when they’d be Cobbscott bound.

    Why did he do this every summer? Why did he prefer to move around? The twins have never thought to ask.

    Their only concern being that their friend Sebastien would be in Cobbscott as well… the one person who also happens to know their secret- that they can read each other’s minds.

    Arrival at the campground goes as expected and within hours, Meghan and Colin are already making plans to meet up with Sebastien. But before they do, the campground gets some unexpected visitors.

    Visitors with reserved campsites. Sites that have been reserved, but unused, for years.

    The twins always wondered who reserved and never used these campsites and now that they have seen the owners, the twins can’t help but get an ominous feeling.

    These visitors dress strange and act strange, taking hikes into the woods wearing wing tip shoes and overcoats, disappearing into things clearly too small to fit so many people, and they never stop peering into the sky as if expecting to see something terrible.

    And when unexplainable and frightening events follow their arrival, the twins start to realize that this summer, will be their least typical of all…

13. REDEMPTION: The Further Adventures of Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer

    About REDEMPTION: The Further Adventures of Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer:

    What ever happened to those little boys, Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer? They grew up that’s what. In the spring of 1860, General Beauregard fired on Fort Sumter and the now twenty-four year old boys can’t wait to sign up to fight the Yankees.

    In the first battle of the war, Tom is wounded and Huck brings him back to Missouri. Along the way they run into trouble and Huck ends up saving the life of a sixteen-year old Yankee soldier who deserts and travels to Missouri with the boys.

    Once in Missouri the Yankee, whose name is Jed, leaves for California. A month later Huck and Tom set out for San Francisco where Tom hopes to catch a ship headed for China. Huck goes along to keep Tom company. He plans on returning to Missouri when Tom sails.

    Jed never makes it to California, Tom sets sail but never reaches China and Huck never sees Missouri again. Twelve years later, they come together in the town of Redemption Colorado to fight a greedy rancher and his army of hired guns.

    They are not boys anymore. They are now men doing what men have to do. Huck is a famous lawman, Tom a widower and Jed is the infamous Laramie Kid, a notorious gunfighter.

    REDEMPTION is an incredible sequel to HUCKLEBERRY FINN, intertwined stories that take place between 1860 and 1873. They are stories of growth and learning, stories of change as told through the reminiscences of a sixty-year old Huck Finn. They are also adventure stories that dovetail together for the climax.
