And she writes in a variety of genres, including romance, contemporary fiction, and nonfiction. She’s won various awards for her essays, columns, editorials, articles, and fiction. She writes contemporary fiction and romances as well as creative nonfiction.

Many of her novels contain stories of Florida and its people and environment, which she credits as giving her a rich base for her storytelling. She says, “Florida’s quirky and abundant wildlife – both human and animal – supply my fiction with tales almost too weird to be believable.” The three novels in her Florida Fiction series explore rural, state, and global politics, address the fight between environmentalists and developers and capture the lives of the people struggling to survive it all. With touches of humor and romance, these novels trace Florida’s history, delve into current events, and imagine future impacts of both.

The novels in her Behind the Love contemporary romance series are also set in Florida. From love at first sight, to giving love a second chance to friends turning to lovers, the novels run the spectrum of the contemporary romance genre.

Ms. Zick’s Smoky Mountain Romances are all set in southwestern North Carolina and filled with sweet novellas perfect for retreating into the lives of people living in the mountains.

Her latest endeavor of sweet romances, Rivals in Love, takes readers to Chicago and the Crandall family as six siblings of a famous politician attempt to find romance.

No matter the genre, her novels contain elements of romance with strong female characters, handsome heroes, and descriptive settings.

Author Bio:
T.G. Neal is a southern born and raised man with his head in the clouds. He’s been a huge fan of high fantasy and science fiction his whole life. His writing started when he was in my early teens by long-form roleplaying on the internet, and then developed it into short stories and fan-fictions as he grew older. He sought a degree in English Lit from the University of Montevallo, but his thick head decided the military would be a better idea (spoiler alert: it wasn’t.) He got married at 19 (best idea of his life), had his first child right before he turned 21, and has been chasing the dream of being published since… well, forever.
His inspirations have been far and wide, from Tolkein to Terry Goodkind, and Christie Golden to Troy Denning. There isn’t a day where he’s not wrapped up in some day dream that usually finds its way to paper.

About Gestation (Project Chrysalis Book 1) By John Gold

To face Death itself, to hide from deadly guards, to conduct dark rituals and to use forbidden death magic? Being sent to Hell is definitely not what 12-year-old Anji would have ever expected from a government orphanage program.

Chrysalis — the project of the century. It is a hyper-realistic fantasy RPG game, set in the Middle Ages. Leveling up, distributing attribute points, and choosing your way of life are only a few ways the players play the game. Chrysalis is the perfect virtual space where every orphan under the care of the government is placed in an in-game family to receive all the love and care of parents they so desperately need. This project helps kids socialize and mold them into the adults of the future. They are in charge of how they grow up in the virtual space, which was built to advance society.

But something went seriously wrong for Anji.

He has lost everything that he had been so happy to finally receive. Now, instead of a loving mama and strict but generous father, he has bloodthirsty demons and flesh-eating worms. Instead of fishing and baking lessons, he has to perform bloody rituals to survive the nine circles of Hell. Instead of the dreams of a happy childhood, his wounded child’s soul suffers demonification.

Betrayed, for the sake of someone else’s master plan, he appeared in the most hopeless place of Chrysalis. It is full of ash, despair and… possibilities? Sagie, Anji’s in-game username, fueled by homesickness and revenge, will go through the Hell to face what is hidden in the darkest corners. The road will be long and difficult, but those who can, do.

Once, long ago, the first wave of Wanderers appeared in the world of Chrysalis. They had proved themselves by killing the ancient gods. Now it is time for the second wave of Wanderers and for new young gods, dreaming about a wide-scaled and deadly war. The beta-test is now open to people. While they are “playing” in Chrysalis, they have no idea about the truth behind the Project.

Project Chrysalis: Book one: Gestation is the first of four books of a brand new LitRPG series. This is a story of a battle for your dreams. It is full of turns, twists, riddles, and revelations; it is a story of… Oh, sorry. No spoilers today.

The story of Sagie has just begun.
But first, one line of advice: do not believe your own eyes.

Author Bio:
My childhood can be simply described in one word: rebellious. Every day, my parents would want me to go outside and play with the other kids. But no. I rebelled. Instead of listening to my mom and dad about getting exercise and some fresh air, I stayed inside doing the most rebellious thing I could think of to exasperate my parents: read. Being an inquisitive child, I spent days reading books and encyclopedias.
I called it expanding my horizons.
My parents called it being lazy.

The first computer in my life appeared when I entered university. It brought entirely new worlds to me. After classes, I would search through breathtaking stories describing unseen worlds, their histories, and characters. The most lasting impression for me was the Fallout series.
I remember everything as if it was just yesterday…

At 22, I went through a pre-midlife crisis. I was finding out my place in the world, trying different jobs and directions for life. Restaurants, websites, freelance, ghostwriting — everything I did, I gave it my all. Life was like a game to me: you earn resources and gold and spend them on armor and equipment.

At the end of 2013, I read my first LitRPG book. I read all of the stories from the first LitRPG wave in Russia. It was a revelation! The two things I liked the most, internet gaming and books, were now seamlessly combined to produce heroic stories. Needless to say, I became a fan of the genre. It was like reading and playing at the same time, a game you could only dream of!

I was full of emotions and energy and purely inspired. I had so many things to say and write that eventually I put pen to paper. The story just wrote itself: a world of mystery, elaborate plot twists, and devious characters. No free hugs, no super luck, no powers and definitely no magic for free. That was the book I ended up writing.

If I’m being totally honest, sometimes I cried when I wrote the traumatizing and dramatic life experiences of Anji. I was with him, side by side, and I felt his pain as if it was my own. And I wanted to share our story with the world.

I am in awe of how fast Chrysalis has been read by readers around the world. I’m forever grateful to the people who inspired me to keep writing and for those that said I should just put a cork in it!

I’d like to thank the Litworld team for doing an amazing job at promoting my book. None of this would have been possible without you guys.

About More Than a Game (Fayroll – Book 1) by Andrey Vasilyev

Step into a future, in which advanced technology creates a virtual world, with superior capabilities that allow players to experience real-world sensations. The popularity of the RPG game Fayroll is growing by the day, attracting millions of users to this alternate reality. What is the secret of Fayroll? What makes it so different from other games?

Our protagonist, Harriton Nikiforov is an everyman – a binge drinking, tabloid column reporter who has settled for the humdrum of the everyday, with a job that pays the wages, a neurotic girlfriend who gives him migraines and a boss that gives him constant grief. Tasked with a new assignment, Harriton suddenly finds himself ripped away from his normal routine of Moscow society life, to a journalistic quest of sorts that leads him deep into the realm of the Virtual Gaming World of Fayroll. Given explicit orders to write a series of fluff pieces on the game and its developers, Harriton grudgingly accepts the assignment, but soon finds himself enthralled by the virtual fantasy world and its amazing quests, unpredictable challenges, and nearly endless possibilities. Harriton is reincarnated as a warrior named Hagen and becomes a full participant in the fantasy world, plunging into the exciting world full of action, quests, humor, legendary weapons and ancient secrets. He meets faithful and courageous comrades and outwits those who are trying to hunt him.

In this world, the thirst for success and vanity of high-level players in pursuit of legendary objects spills into the real world, where high-stakes bets are made on the success of the virtual characters. Harriton, as Hagen, unwittingly enters into the Fayroll world, where events and decisions that he makes in the virtual space starts to affect his own reality. His unpredictable character, perseverance, and excitement attract the attention of powerful gamers and influential Moscow elite with a vested interest in Fayroll’s outcome. It is not long before he realizes that this fantastic world, (created according to the best canons of cult games, Warcraft and Lineage), conceals many dangers. Can he pass all the tests?

Fayroll is more than a novel; it’s a brilliant synergy of fantasy fiction and online gaming. It gives the reader the best of both worlds. The first novel of the 13 part epic series Fayroll, has captivated Russian readers countrywide and was voted the 2014 new fantasy book of the year. Andrey Vasilyev’s masterpiece ‘More Than a Game’ is now available to the English-speaking World. Join us in this breathtaking narrative that takes both its main character and the reader deep into the heart of the Virtual Gaming Universe and explore the Fantasy Series that has captured the imagination of the Slavic world.

Author Bio:
At times, he feels he was meant to be an innkeeper someplace on the outskirts of Bree in J. R. R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth. However, in real life, Andrey Vasilyev is a much-celebrated Moscow-based author, as well as one of the originators of the relatively new, yet insanely popular, LitRPG genre that blends cyberpunk, classic sci-fi, and fantasy.

By his own admission, Andrey started writing in his late 30’s and only “because there was nothing handy to read,” but after his first two books gained nearly instant acclaim, he had to give serious thought to changing his current banking career to that of a professional writer. Fortunately for his readers, who had voted his debut novel More Than a Game the “Best Book of the Year 2014,” he never looked back after that.

Over the next few years, he continued work on his now-bestselling Fayroll series, maintained a blog, and participated in various multiple-author projects. Andrey is also the author of The Raven’s Flock and The Arch series, which will soon be available in English.

When he is not writing his intricately crafted, action-packed stories, he enjoys playing online shooter games with his son or rummaging through second-hand bookshops and bookstalls in search of rare editions or personal favorites.

About Earl of Grayson

Damien Archer, Earl of Grayson and Lady Charlotte Lawson are opposite in every way. Where his coloring is dark, she has blond tresses and blue eyes. Charlotte’s alabaster skin tone is a stark contrast to Damien’s sun-kissed tan. He is tall at six feet three inches while she is short at barely over five feet tall. Furthermore, her cheerful disposition is in stark contrast to his brooding nature. But most bothersome of all is his tendency to flaunt society’s rules while she follows them without fail.

Damien desires nothing more than to spend his time carousing, drinking, and gambling while Charlotte spends hers at afternoon teas, balls, and musicals. She is a true lady and he a determined rake. When their paths cross they have every reason to turn in the opposite direction, and yet they cannot seem to avoid one another. Passions flare, putting them both at risk. They stand not only to lose their reputations, but more importantly, their hearts.

About Where Can I Find Wifi? Work Anywhere, Travel Forever: Tales Of A Digital Nomad

Do you want to join the digital nomad community and live a location independent life by working remotely?

Do you want to travel the world indefinitely, setting up your office in cafes with views of crystal clear seas in Greece, guesthouses with mountain views in the Rockies, next to a mouthwatering bowl of fresh Gnocchi in Italy, or anywhere you can get the bloody wifi connection to work?

In this book, you’ll learn how Kayla has travelled around the world for over five years from the Ashrams of India to the ruins of Greece, teaching herself the skills she needed to start a successful online career.

You’ll also learn:
– How Kayla saved enough to take a one-year backpacking trip when she was making less than 40k a year.
– How the author grows, rather than depletes, her savings account while she travels the world.
– How you can volunteer or work abroad.
– How the author went from being broke in London to starting two successful businesses and how you can apply your skills and experience to a digital nomad career.
– The options for going remote including freelancing, starting your own business, teaching online, and more.
– How the author, a self-described terrible decision maker, chooses where to live & what to pack.
– How to answer questions like, ‘when are you going to get a real job?’

• How to make lifelong friends on the road.This book isn’t filled with empty promises of how easy it’s going to be to work 5 hours a week and become a millionaire while you yacht around the world. It’s a realistic account of a girl who works like 20-ish hours a week… more or less… depending on how many weird festivals are on.

  If you’re serious about starting a sustainable digital nomad lifestyle, this is the book for you.

  The e-book is on sale until the end of July!

About The Secret of the Urns By A.B. Carolan

Set in the same sci-fi universe as A. B.

About In the Lap of the Gods

‘In the Lap of the Gods’ is the true story of an English girl, and her Allies, the Gods. It begins at the point of Silver’s spiritual breakthrough where denial was no longer an option, and follows her journey through varying worlds and the lessons they brought with them. Just Odin, Kali and Ghede alone, all brought through something very different and changed Silver’s life in ways she couldn’t begin to imagine.

From discovering she could talk to the dead to the obliteration of everything she knew to be true, Silver walks this path with her eyes open and a brutal honesty usually reserved for those with nothing to loose.

An eye opening and empowering read.

About The Stormy Encounter

This book is FREE for a LIMITED TIME only!

Takeisha is an overwhelmed and overworked high school teacher. One extra stressful evening after work, she decided to take the shortcut home to get there as soon as possible and crash in bed. This decision turned out to be a big mistake as she completely totaled her car when she collided with a deer trying to escape the dreadful storm.

After trying to call for help, she experiences first hand how difficult it can be to find far out on country roads. The last thing she is willing to do, however, is wait for help in her steamy car dripping of sweat and struggling to breathe. So she decided to take the ultimate risk and abandon her car to find help but what she found was something she could never have planned for.

After finding his girlfriend in bed with his best friend, Zack, a Podiatrist, struggled to get over her. That is until one night, in the middle of a bad storm, he finds a mysterious, chocolate beauty sleeping half-naked on his couch. Is she more bad news or just what Zack needs to get over his ex? OR will his ex-threaten to bring him begging to her knees once she reveals some hidden secrets?

WARNING! The weather isn’t the only storm in this quick and tumultuous love story. Lots of soaking wet clothes clinging to sexy bodies, steamy windows and there’s word of a hot mud wrestling frenzy. Grab your umbrella and plenty of towels. Good luck staying dry!

About Moonshine (West Country Trilogy Prequel)

Cornwall, England. 1726.

Isaac Bailey returns home after four years at sea, expecting a welcome from his family. Instead, he finds his parents’ graves and his sister, Scarlett, waiting to be rescued from the orphanage.

Against his will, Isaac is thrust into a world of smuggling, forced into the service of wealthy syndicate boss Charles Reuben.

“Prove yourself trustworthy,” says Flora, the witch’s daughter, “and the chance for escape will come.”

But as Isaac sets about gaining Reuben’s trust, he unwittingly draws Scarlett and Flora into his dangerous world of midnight landings. And the harder he tries to pull them from the smugglers’ net, the harder they are entangled.

Find out where it all began in this short story prequel to the West Country Trilogy, set fourteen years before the events of Book One.

About The Cuba Cage

Laura was a child, a six year old, little girl.
She had no idea why she’d been taken from her mummy, or where she was going.

Her new friend was nice enough, but Laura really missed her home.
Luckily, she was too young to realise exactly what was about to happen to her.

Her mother was distraught. Being told that you will never see your daughter again is unimaginable. That’s not something you can ever recover from.

This is a novel in the acclaimed Hedge & Cole thriller series.

Cole is a tough, ex-military man. He’s the sort of person that trouble and danger seem to follow.

Hedge is a reluctant hero. Plagued with anxieties and haunted by flashbacks, he is not what you might be expecting.

It’s going to be their toughest assignment yet, but getting anything close to a good outcome just doesn’t seem very likely.

About Big Stage for Me

From the moment they begin socializing, children are exposed to bullying, peer-pressure, social hierarchies, and insults. It is essential for children to learn how to separate their true identity and potential from nasty things they hear from their peers. A valuable lesson to learn is how to be confident in your character, who you are, and not to care what other people think. Singing Bird is the story of a bird who loves to sing and wants to sing his tune, but is mocked by a flock of birds into singing alone. The Bird loses his self-confidence and becomes shameful of his singing. He finds a butterfly who encourages him to keep on singing and find his voice, no matter what people say. He is heard by a mighty Lion who wants Bird to sing at his ball. The Bird regains his self-confidence and realizes the Butterfly was right about not caring what others think and to keep following the desires of his heart. The flock attempts to disrupt the Ball and continue mocking the Bird’s singing, but the mighty Lion rejects them and makes them leave. All the animals of the forest have a wonderful time at the Ball, and the Bird learns the valuable lesson of following your dreams and not caring what others think because, in the end, right people will value his determination, effort, and talent. He didn’t need the approval of the mean flock of birds, he just needed to follow his dreams, and better friends and opportunities will come his way because of it.
