4. Through the Woods by Troy Blackford

   About Through the Woods by Troy Blackford:

   Ben, fresh out of college, is starting his first week of work at a top secret governmental agency that lies deep in the protected woods in the north of the country.

   It’s a place full of freakish experiments, outrageous discoveries, and cloaked in extreme secrecy.

   At first, he can only pick up bits and pieces about the fantastical things that go on at ‘the Agency,’ but he quickly realizes that the team’s current assignment might find them biting off more than they can chew.

   What’s the name of the worst thing in the world?

   The experiment that his team is spending the most time on also has the most potential to go wrong, though only Ben seems to see it at first. What begins as a mundane procedural testing of some seemingly-ordinary house cats quickly flies out of control – for reasons that even the most veteran of the Agency researchers can scarcely believe.

   Packed with Sci-Fi action and Paranormal thrills, ‘Through the Woods’ pits Ben and his coworkers against a diabolical feline menace, puts them up against otherworldly odds, and features the most unlikely of heroes.

   Sharpen your claws and get ready for terror, action, a diverse cast of characters, heart-chilling supernatural shocks, and more crazy cats than you could shake a paw at.

5. Friendly Fire

   About Friendly Fire:

   “I wish I could find a man like the Wilde Brothers.” – Tina

   “Read the whole thing in 1 day. A page turner from start to finish. Makes me wish I lived in Idaho.” – Diane

   In FRIENDLY FIRE, after a roadside bomb ends his career in the marines, Logan Wilde struggles to put his life back together. When he takes a job as a sheriff in a small Idaho town, he expects a quiet, peaceful life that will bore him to tears. However, Logan hides a painful secret: He suffers from sleepless nights and flashbacks that come out of nowhere, and anything can be a trigger.

   From the moment the new sheriff walks through the door of Julia Cooper’s cafe, she fights the attraction between them, especially after Logan shoots a carafe right from her hands when he’s startled by a car backfiring in the street outside. Julia has seen that wild look before: She saw it in her father’s eyes right before he shoved a gun to his head and killed himself.

   Julia decides she needs to meet someone average, someone who has never handled a gun. Everyone is convinced that her daughter’s teacher is the perfect match for her, but when she’s with him, she misses the sparks that always sizzle between her and Logan—and when her daughter goes missing, it’s Logan who’s there for her, Logan who searches with her, and Logan she leans on.

   Worse, Logan suspects that the teacher knows something about the disappearance, and he may not be the safe, dependable guy Julia believes him to be.

   With nothing but a strong back and a heap of ambition, August Wolff finds wealth beyond measure in the frozen goldfields of the Klondike. But success comes at an unbearably high price. Now Gus walks alone and all the money in the world can’t buy him what he really wants.

   In the late 1800′s, when women are largely seen and not heard, Amelia Starling longs for a life limited only by her imagination.

   Fate brings these two wounded individuals together, unleashing a passion far great than any they had ever known. But a cruel and judgmental society is ready to brand them as outcasts, casting a shadow on their future happiness. How much will they sacrifice for love?

In addition to writing, she loves reading and travel, and dabbles in textile art. She also plays a mean game of bocce in a summer league.

   Author Bio:
   I loved reading as a child, and looked forward to my father taking me to Barnes & Noble to buy a new book. At 10 years old, I was obsessed with Nancy Drew and collected over twenty of her books, devouring them in less than four hours, unable to wait for my next one.

   In 6th grade I wrote two novels, I called them The Linda Wells Mysteries. I wrote them in a battered spiral notebook, complete with several hand drawings! It was then that I decided I wanted to write a real novel one day.

   But when I graduated high school, the thought of majoring in English scared me. What would I do when I graduated? Sit home all day and write books? I was afraid, and with no guidance, I chose Nutrition as my major, and received a Masters in Exercise Physiology. My two other loves.

   Although I went on to love activities like weight lifting, rock climbing, white-water rafting and jumping out of airplanes, there was something missing: no real goal, no end point to reach for.

   One boring Saturday evening in September, I sat in front of my computer and decided to write. It became an obsession. Something I buried away for years had finally unleashed. It was my passion. Storytelling. Something I lost sight of as I traveled down my conveyor belt of a life. It was all I wanted to do.

   So here I am today, to let you know that I wrote 2 contemporary romance novels. One is now published and the other I plan to publish at the end of August with the hope that someone will love them as much as I loved writing them.

   Enjoy the Ride!

   Author Bio:
   As an anthropologist, Lesann Berry divides her time between academic interests and professional research. Focused primarily on the American west, she is inspired by the geologic features of empty landscapes. The ancient art and prehistory of those settings often feature in her work. She writes about messed-up people and sinister events, saying her stories often feature paranormal or romantic elements because life is boring without spooky stuff and warm bodies. Crossing genre lines, she pens both contemporary and historical mysteries, romantic suspense, and even a little horror. Visit www.lesannberry.com for information about upcoming releases.
