Where Awesome Book Readers Meet Awesome Writers

1. Demon Dance

   About Demon Dance:

   You can run all you want, but the game’s in your blood. And blood never forgets…

   Nick St. James was born different. His extraordinary gifts have saved him time and time again, but they couldn’t save the one thing he loved most: his wife.

   Now he just wants to forget his old life, but more importantly, he wants to forget the magical underworld that lives beneath the “real” world. A place where a man’s faith can determine the very fabric of reality. Where ancient forgotten gods walk hidden among us, and angels and demons fight for our very souls.

   But nothing stays hidden forever. Nick’s peaceful world is ripped apart when a demon slaughters his ex-partner and marks him for death. Now he must use all his gifts to find the one who summoned the nightmarish creature, but more importantly, he needs to find the one thing he lost long ago.

   Himself.

   Author Bio:
   Brian Freyermuth has had a lot of fun over the last 20 years writing video games and novels. His first game, the original Fallout, won countless awards and was featured at the Smithsonian, while his next title had him working with William Shatner, George Takei and Walter Koenig on Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. In 2012, he created a little bit of Disney history with Marv Wolfman by giving Oswald the Lucky Rabbit a voice for the first time in the game Epic Mickey 2: the Power of Two. Now, he is honored to once again be part of video game history, with Lichdom: Battlemage, where the player can become an unfettered, badass Mage.

   Creating the Sundancer series, which Brian co-authors with his wife, Juliet, has been an exhilarating process. In Demon Dance, private investigator turned novelist Nick St. James seeks help from a cranky voodoo houngan, a role-playing vampire, and Norse goddess to find out what killed his sister-in-law before it kills an innocent mother and daughter. In the sequel, Mind of the Beast, available now on Amazon, Nick races against time to find out why the Green Man keeps infecting people, animals and deities.

2. Dreamless by Erin Manbeck

   About Dreamless by Erin Manbeck:

   In the beginning, when the battle for heaven was won and the rebellious angels were cast into hell, not every angel had a place. Those who hadn’t chosen a side were sentenced to exist between the two parallels…earth. The angels who repented were called the Fallen, peaceful angles that existed amongst mankind. Those who rejected their punishment became known as the First, angels that survived by stealing souls.

   Over time, a First and Fallen unite and the Protectors were born.

   Eighteen year old Mira Daly had one goal, get out of Redding,WY and never look back. That was until her best friend goes missing the day before graduation. Chloe’s disappearance brings back haunting memories of her father, and through the help of some unexpected new friends, the story of who he was and what she’s meant to be unfolds.

   With a living, breathing, nightmare determined to destroy her, Mira knows the only way to survive is to accept her fate and meet this demon in battle.

   Author Bio:
   I’m an author in hiding…I still work full time, but don’t ever look over my shoulder to see what’s on my computer screen. Chances are you will find me secretly writing.

   Besides family and friends, I love to laugh. It may be at the expense of those I love, but they get me, so I usually don’t offend to much.

   Honesty…I can’t help it. I usually say way I feel, but with a little guidance I’ve learned to be more tactful.

   I’ve worked in plenty of environments (trucking company, corrections and I was in the military to mention a few) so I guess you can say that’s where my mouth and attitude come from. Either way, as long as I get my morning cup of coffee people are safe.

   I love reading and sharing books with my friends. I’ve made it to 70% of my goal so far of reading 50 books this year, and that’s in between writing. LOVE IT!

3. Kiss Me Dead

   About Kiss Me Dead:

   One curse . . .

   Christian, a nineteen-year-old reaper-human hybrid enslaved to the Other World to harvest souls, earns his freedom by making a bargain with the Goddess of Death. As part of the bargain, he’s been cursed with the kiss of death.

To break her phobia’s hold, Brooke embraces her angelic role and makes it her mission to kill rogue reapers to avenge her brother’s murder.

   Author Bio:
   Dale Ibitz was born in Oxford, Connecticut, grew up in the state of Washington, and then re-located back to Connecticut as an adult where she studied English at Central Connecticut State University. She never left, choosing Connecticut as her permanent home where she’s been writing fantasy for seventeen years.

   Dale’s a fan of hiking and the outdoors, and she never, ever starts the day without chocolate and coffee (preferably together). If you were to visit Dale’s house, you’d meet her husband, 2 kids, their dog Lea (most people simply refer to her as The Beast), their cat Luna (affectionately known as Loony Luna), a gaggle of ducks, and a flock of hens ruled by a tyrannical rooster they call The Stump, or Stumpy. How he got his name is a long story…maybe she’ll tell you sometime.

4. Survival of the Fiercest

   About Survival of the Fiercest:

   Chief Editor Alexandra “Lex” Martine is proud of her success. Her New York based website for multicultural women, thefiercest.com, just earned a spot on the Forbes top 100 websites for women. As an independent, biracial woman herself, Fierce is not just a hub for women of color; it’s a huge part of her identity–and a nice distraction from her floundering love life. But when her San Francisco-based parent company goes bankrupt and her website goes up for sale, her career and her life are turned upside down.

   When Lex meets Evan Cain, she resolves to fight their instant sexual attraction; lust is not on the agenda. Handsome, whip smart, and sexy, Evan has important friends who are professional athletes and in the entertainment industry, connections that could save her website, but it’s hard to focus on work when he is stealing kisses, running his hands over her thighs, and making her want things she shouldn’t want with a perfect stranger.

   Choosing work over play has been the theme of Lex’s career-driven life. But when it’s time for her to give Evan the boot, she discovers it’s not so easy, not even to guarantee the survival of the fiercest.

5. The Man I Love by Suanne Laqueur

   

   About The Man I Love by Suanne Laqueur

   New York author Suanne Laqueur makes her debut with an astonishing novel, The Man I Love: a young man’s emotional journey to reclaim relationships destroyed in the wake of a college shooting incident.

   Erik Fiskare once had the bravery to make a gunman stand down. But now he lacks the courage to confront his own past.

   As a college freshman, is drawn to the world of theater but prefers backstage to center stage. The moment he lays eyes on a beautiful, accomplished dancer named Daisy Bianco, his atoms rearrange themselves and he is drawn into a romance both youthfully passionate and maturely soulful. It is a love story seemingly without end. But when a disturbed friend brings a gun into the theater, the story is forever changed. Six lives are lost and Daisy is left seriously injured, her professional dreams shattered.

   Traumatized by the experience, the lovers spiral into depression and drug use until a shocking act of betrayal destroys their relationship. To survive, Erik must leave school and disconnect from all he loves. He buries his heartbreak and puts the past behind. Or so he believes.

   As he moves into adulthood, Erik comes to grips with his role in the shooting, and slowly heals the most wounded parts of his soul. But the unresolved grief for Daisy continues to shape his dreams at night. Once those dreams were haunted by blood and gunfire. Now they are haunted by the refrain of a Gershwin song and a single question: is leaving always the end of loving?

   The Man I Love explores themes of love and sexuality, trauma—physical and mental—and its long-lasting effects, the burden of unfinished business and the power of reconciliation. Through Erik’s experience we reflect on what it means to be a man, a son and a leader. A soul mate, a partner and a lover. What it means to live the truth of who you are and what you feel. What it means to fight for what you love.
