1. Conspiracy of Silence by Gledé Browne Kabongo

   About Conspiracy of Silence by Gledé Browne Kabongo:

   #1 Amazon bestseller in the suspense and women’s psychological fiction categories.

   She’s a beautiful liar, her doting husband is clueless and a dangerous enemy just breezed into town. It’s time to face the music.

   Boston executive Nina Kasai has been living a lie but she’s about to learn that some secrets are too big to stay buried.

   Years ago, Nina fled her affluent suburban home and vowed never to return. The horrifying truth now lives within the pages of her hidden diary and in the mind of a disturbed woman who will never tell. But Nina’s life is upended when Phillip Copeland, a ghost from her past with secrets of his own makes Nina an offer she can’t refuse: her silence in exchange for his. However, things quickly head downhill when Nina’s diary goes missing, she suffers a devastating loss, and a shocking double-cross sends her reeling.

   To reclaim her life and confront the past she’s been running from, Nina must make a life-altering decision that leaves multiple casualties in its wake.

   Author Bio:
   Gledé Browne Kabongo is the Amazon bestselling author of Conspiracy of Silence. The self-described “strange girl” grew up in the Caribbean where her love affair with books and history began. She was the only kid in her neighborhood who could score an A on a history test where one’s ability to describe the rise and fall of the Mayan Empire was paramount. At age 13, Gledé immigrated to the U.S. and settled in Milton, MA.

   She earned both a master’s and bachelor’s degree in communications from Clark University and Framingham State University respectively. One of her earliest jobs after college was a sales clerk at a lingerie store. Right then she knew she wasn’t cut out for retail when she closed up one night and forgot to activate the store alarm. Luckily, no one made off any with black lace teddies.

   Gledé is hard at work on her next novels of psychological suspense. When it comes to writing, she describes her female protagonists in terms of brains and beauty meet wounds and secrets at the corner of courage and vengeance. She lives in southeastern Massachusetts with her husband and two sons, and avoids pet stores, for fear that her youngest son will throw a tantrum if he doesn’t get a cat.

2. Chasing Fireflies by Paul Seiple

   About Chasing Fireflies by Paul Seiple:

   Set the fireflies free. Send them home before God cleanses the world.

   Homicide cop, Michael Callahan sees death everywhere. During the day, he protects the city from evil. At night — he is the evil. He hears the hopeless pleas, feels the last breath of the victims. He sees life fade away through the eyes of the killer. In his dreams, Michael is the killer.

   But it’s just dreams. Right?

   The internal struggle of protector versus killer refuses to stay hidden when the dreams become reality. A serial killer, who calls himself Murmur, stalks the streets of North Carolina, searching for the “fireflies.” Michael knows the victims all too well — he’s killed them in his dreams.

   Riddled with doubt and growing suspicions from his partner, Bill, Michael is determined to put an end to the terror — even if it means an end to himself.

   Chasing Fireflies is the first book in the James Beamer/Michael Callahan Morning Star trilogy.

3. Fall asleep! It’s Easy…The (miraculous) Kaleidoscope Method by Elli Yeates

   About Fall asleep! It’s Easy…The (miraculous) Kaleidoscope Method by Elli Yeates:

   Are you having trouble falling asleep? Are you waking in the middle of the night and tossing and turning for hours only to drop off just before your alarm goes off? Is your sleep becoming something that you worry about? Then you need to read this book.

   The most common reaction from readers after reading this book is – that can’t work, it’s too easy. But falling asleep is meant to be easy…right? The method described is simple but it does take a definite effort on your part to make it work. It’s called the miraculous Kaleidoscope Method because just like magic the simple process seems to occupy your mind and let your body take over and get what it needs. The next thing you will know is it is morning. Even if you don’t think it will work it still will. One of my friends was recalling her teenage daughter saying that the last thing she remembered thinking before waking up in the morning was, ‘This isn’t working!’.

   This book is quick to read – 10 to 15 minutes should do it. It uses no drugs or equipment. Once you have paid for the book you will have the process to use for the rest of your life. It gets easier and faster each time you use it. Knowing you can get back to sleep quickly will stop you from worrying about waking up. You will stop waking up so often. My favorite part – sometimes you can feel your body falling asleep; it’s like receiving a shot of anesthetic and as it spreads from limb to limb they fall asleep. That’s when you know you are just about to drop off. There is a checklist to ensure you are not doing something during the day that is stopping you from sleeping at night. It works even 30 minutes before your alarm is set to go off. It puts you back in charge of your sleep.

   Read the comments from other readers below, then buy the book and remember how it feels to have a great nights sleep!

It is such a simple technique that any one, no matter their age can successfully sleep again if they truly want to.

4. The Mortis Chronicles – Flesh Trade by Alexander Wilkinson

   About The Mortis Chronicles – Flesh Trade by Alexander Wilkinson:

   When Earth is destroyed in a cataclysmic event known as ‘The Reckoning’, all remaining species relocate and begin to populate the planet Eden. The war that raged between humans and the supernatural on Earth continues, but the hierarchy has shifted.

   Mortis is an ancient demon, a hunter of hunters, and he roams the ravaged landscape as a hired gun. With his latest mission completed, he heads to Spring Water to collect his bounty. Once there, Blood Moon–the top Ork military commander–asks Mortis to investigate the murder of a visiting dignitary in the nearby outpost Posideon. With a promised payout four times more than his going rate, Mortis accepts and begins the trek.

   A loner, Mortis’ plans are suddenly altered when a succubus joins him and the pair head to Posideon together. His travel companion, Synclair, is as unpredictable and mysterious as the terrain, but they are inexplicably drawn to one another. Deep undercover in debauchery, Mortis and Synclair find themselves thrust into a realm of slavery where the flesh traders rule.

   As Mortis peels back the layers of deceit in search of a killer, what he finds may prove fatal. Not only to himself, but to thousands of others, too.

   Trials of Eden – Flesh Trade; is the first installment of The Mortis Chronicles series. Book two, Hunters Creed, is now available.

   Author Bio:
   Hi all,

   So i am meant to introduce myself here and not be shy, however i am.

   As an interim, i have popped in a commissioned author bio i had written. But will gladly answer any questions you may have, if you message me = )

   Stamford, UK, 1986. It had to have been a dark and foggy night to give rise to one of the area’s most mystic individuals. Fast forward to present day, and that individual, one Alexander Wilkinson, can be occasionally seen wandering the streets of York and Leeds like some creature of legend. With a Pepsi Max in one hand, a half-eaten cheese pretzel in the other, and an open bag of peanut M&Ms in his pocket, he lurks in the shadows of North Yorkshire like a nocturnal animal only paying the day a visit.
   In the light hours, Mr. Wilkinson can be seen moonlighting as a nine-to-five office drone with a lighthearted composure and a traditional brain. But dusk is when his true self begins to emerge. Seeking to entertain the masses, he dips a virtual pen into a digital inkwell and composes unique prose that has been compared to that of James Joyce.
   Whether it’s a smell, sound, or image that ignites the creative spark in Mr. Wilkinson’s mind, it always turns into a blazing chemical fire incapable of being quenched. Everything from anime and Quentin Tarantino to video games and old samurai films inspires him to create something. A peculiar and invigorating blend of sci-fi, Western, horror, fantasy, black comedy, and straight up attitude permeates the flagship work of his, the Mortis Chronicles.
   His debut, Trials of Eden: Flesh Trade, ventures forth into uncharted waters. Demons, mutants, humans, and supernatural beings clash in a truly otherworldly plot that puts the entire universe at stake. It doesn’t fall into overused archetypes but instead fuses the best parts of classic genres together to make what has been hailed as an instant classic. The flowing, erratic prose will command your attention and make you crave more. Join both the author and the protagonist of the series, Mortis, as they stride the surface of Eden in tales of treachery, debauchery, combat and espionage.
   Mr. Wilkinson’s second book in the Trials of Eden series, Hunter’s Creed, is also now available.

5. The Clouds Still Hang by Patrick C Notchtree

   About The Clouds Still Hang by Patrick C Notchtree:

   A complete trilogy telling a story of love and loyalty, betrothal and betrayal, triumph and tragedy; charting one gay man’s attempts to rise above the legacy of a traumatic childhood.
   The first book deals with Simon’s childhood friendship and eventually love affair with an older boy and early sexualisation, the second the trauma of his teenage years and early adulthood, the third his struggle to maintain equilibrium and the disastrous consequences of his failure at one point to achieve that and his fight back to self acceptance.
   Based on the author’s own life, it will strike a chord with many who have been through similar things, as well as those with an interest in such matters, either personal or professional, such as police and probation officers, those involved with the gay / LGBT community etc.
   It’s a varied, exciting, demanding, sometimes terrifying life story. Of adult nature in places, it contains some explicit sexual narrative, including sexual violence.

   Author Bio:
   A post war ‘baby-boomer’, Patrick knew within that he was gay from a young age but struggled with that for most of his life, and the book reflects that and how after much trauma, he emerged at last true to himself. He now lives in the north of England with his wife and has his son and granddaughters nearby. Much of his life is reflected in the biographical trilogy “The Clouds Still Hang”, so to repeat too many biographical details here would be something of a ‘spoiler’!

   Author Bio:
   The ideas for several stories came about when my man and I were floating around on a boat in the Mediterranean for 16 months. Plenty of time for the creative juices to flow and undoubtedly the experience of a lifetime, but before any of those ideas became fully fledged books; we returned to Australia and the real world of jobs and in my case, opening a small business.

   Nearly 5 years later, the beloved business has sold and now it’s time to write again.

   Love Me, Love My Sister was a beginning, a taster; until my ‘evil twin’ emerged and wanted to write something edgier with murder, mayhem and mystery.

   I hope you enjoy reading these novellas, while I decide which genre I best like writing.

9. The Commons: Book 1: The Journeyman

   About The Commons: Book 1: The Journeyman:

   “Paul Reid died in the snow at seventeen. The day of his death, he told a lie—and for the rest of his life, he wondered if that was what killed him.”

   And so begins the battle for the afterlife, known as The Commons. It’s been taken over by a corporate raider who uses the energy of its souls to maintain his brutal control. The result is an imaginary landscape of a broken America—stuck in time and overrun by the heroes, monsters, dreams, and nightmares of the imprisoned dead.

   Three people board a bus to nowhere: a New York street kid, an Iraq War veteran, and her five-year-old special-needs son. After a horrific accident, they are the last, best hope for The Commons to free itself. Along for the ride are a shotgun-toting goth girl, a six-foot-six mummy, a mute Shaolin monk with anger-management issues, and the only guide left to lead them.

   Three Journeys: separate but joined. One mission: to save forever.

   But first they have to save themselves.

   Author Bio:
   I tell tales big and small. Life’s magical, but it isn’t always enough for a good story. So I make up the rest.

   To me, it’s not real until I’ve put it into story form, which means I repeat myself a lot. In fact, the phrase that passes my lips most often is, “I may have told you this before, but …”

   I’ve made my living writing about TV, its celebrities, and its past. (I used to pen a column called “Ask the Televisionary” for TV Guide.com.) I’ve also put food on the table reviewing restaurants, writing about travel, and doing SEO and content strategy.

   Only the writing counts in the end.

   I have a godawful memory, so I focus on the written word. I like to think that over time, I’ve gotten better at it–the writing, not the remembering. I forget important dates. I’m pretty good with movie lines. But after several years, I tend to tweak them. I prefer my versions over the real ones.

   Funny goes a long way with me. Probably further than it should.

   I grew up outside Philadelphia and have lived in New York, L.A., and San Francisco. My current home base is Chicago.

   At holiday time, the missus and I terrorize the world via The Little Drummer Boy Challenge. Please join us.
