   Aloha! My name is Kathy Brooks. I am a proud mother, wife and a researcher at heart. Through my own life experiences, I have become an expert at getting to the core of points on most of my topic of interests. I currently work as a research and implementation profession and have been in the field for several years working for Fortune 500 companies. Like many people, I kind of fell into my profession. Little did I know just how much of an impact it would have on my personal life. My research knowledge was a God sent for my dating life, my marriage and in my journey of becoming a mother.

   I became an author to share my gift with the world. Every topic is one of personal interest that I have been through or helped a very close friend with. I believe that things could be done the easy way if the correct information and tools are provided. I believe in getting it right the first time. I believe that my gift could help a lot of people by providing the correction information whether if its to make a life changing decision or just to stir them in the right direction. The internet provides so much information but it could take days to decipher what is correct or misleading. I have found my research extremely helpful when it comes to health and personal relationships from alternative natural remedies to developing stronger intimate relationships with my friends and family.

   There are new ideas and concepts put out into the world daily. These ideas and concept could hold the key to improving lives drastically, for instance, recent news reported on an optician who learned a technique to remove cataracts within 7 minutes. He traveled to Ethiopia to provide free service to those in need. Hundreds of blind Ethiopians showed up for the treatment not knowing whether it would cure them. But within 2 days several of them regained sight with gratitude. Think of how the patients’ lives improved with one 7 minute procedure. The right information could help so many people. This is how my gift will bless the world. I look forward to contributing excellent quality research.

4. Article V -

   About Article V:

   The year is two thousand and thirteen. The United States is braced for a potential government shutdown and a US default on its debt. Washington is at the height of political dysfunction.

   Renowned Harvard professor, Winston Bernard Huntster II, has just aired a controversial documentary on the History Channel. To the mass of American viewers, it is an eerily striking comparison to the egocentric arrogance of the political landscape of present day. It is, to the millions of Americans tuned in, the fuel that would fire a movement to stop the reckless abuses in Washington D.C.

   Now, the man behind the firestorm is found dead in Boston Common from a gunshot wound to the head. His death has outraged an angry nation and incited its citizens to take to the streets. They will soon learn there is but one weapon that can crack the stronghold on Capitol Hill—the power of Article V.

7. Blood in the Paint -

   About Blood in the Paint:

   Jillian Atford is a successful psychologist with a lavish office in Center City Philadelphia. Despite overcoming past trauma and anguish, she cannot shake loose from the feeling that her newest client reminds her of someone.

   Lyla Kyle, an accomplished artist, lives a rather quiet life–except for nights when she lures married men into her tangled web and murders them, all in a never-ending quest to avenge her mother. Yet, the nightmares of her mother’s death prove unrelenting, leading her to seek professional help.

   Jason Brighthouse Jr. is a young Philadelphia police officer who lives in his father’s shadow and is troubled by the constant ridicule that surrounds his ambition. As he sets out to make peace with his colleagues, he remains confident that the key to their respect lies in his ability to connect the recent spate of suspicious deaths to a certain dark-haired temptress. In a turn of events, he justifiably takes a man’s life while off-duty. Mandatory leave requires him to obtain psychological clearance prior to returning to the force.

   As current circumstances bring them together and the truth of their pasts unfolds, who will be left standing?

   Three lives. Three deaths connect them. The present unites them.

    About Forever Young:

    Forever Young is a fresh, fast paced romance adventure that reads like a Hollywood movie. Part Da Vinci Code, part National Treasure and part Indiana Jones, Forever Young follows the life of Frank Young. A seemingly average guy, Frank falls in love at first sight with a gorgeous and mysterious woman, Jackie, as their plane survives a crash landing on the way to Frank’s ten year college reunion. Separated during the chaos of the emergency landing, Frank fears he will never see Jackie again. At his reunion the following night, Frank discovers he may have a power that could change his life – and the women he encounters – forever. Soon beautiful A-listers who want to tap into his newfound power throw themselves at Frank who instead desperately wants to reconnect with Jackie. Meanwhile, Frank’s start up business is struggling, so when billionaire Ari Kousakas approaches Frank with a proposition that includes funding Frank’s fledgling travel company in exchange for tapping into Frank’s power, he becomes intrigued. As with many of the characters in Forever Young, there is more to Ari than meets the eye. Frank soon finds that the people he loves most are in grave danger when he refuses Ari’s demands. As the power Frank thought of as a gift quickly becomes a curse, Frank decides to return to the place where he thinks it all began. Frank makes a harrowing journey that takes him half way around the world and puts his very own life at risk – all for love. Along the way he must make all but impossible choices that test his character as well his abilities for survival. Forever Young delves deep into issues of love, morality, greed, and the universal quest for eternal youth.

21. Juicing: Recipes – 101 Juicing Recipes For Weight Loss, Detox And Overall Health -

    About Juicing: Recipes – 101 Juicing Recipes For Weight Loss, Detox And Overall Health:

    There is an important fact that many juicing books skim over when it comes to losing weight with juicing. You have to be very careful about the other foods you are consuming along with your juices. This is due to the fact that juice whether it is made at home or bought at the store is high in fruit sugars. This means they are also higher in calories.

    While some will want you to believe that juicing is a miracle fat burner the reality is it only works in conjunction with healthy eating. They work great for meal replacements or in addition to a meal that may be lacking a full spectrum of nutrients. The point is if you think you can just add a couple cups of juice a day and the fat will just melt off you have been misled.

    That is why this book provides a practical and easily implemented weight loss plan. It is a simple way to get your weight loss started using juicing and as you will see some smoothies. When using juices to help lose weight ensure you keep an accurate count of the calories you are consuming. Healthy or not a couple extra thousand calories a day from juice plus your regular food will seriously impede your ability to lose weight.

    With the provided weight loss plan you will know exactly how many calories you will need to be putting into your body for maximum weight loss. Juicing when done right can be a fantastic and long term weight loss plan. Done wrong you will just be losing weight due to all the trips to the bathroom and then just gain it back again.

24. THE INFLUENCE OF ZEN BUDDHISM ON THE ART OF GEORGIA O’KEEFFE by Sharon Fitzgerald -

    About THE INFLUENCE OF ZEN BUDDHISM ON THE ART OF GEORGIA O’KEEFFE by Sharon Fitzgerald:

    Long before Georgia O’Keeffe started painting flowers or the great landscapes of the Southwest, she explored total abstraction and monochrome palate beginning in 1912. She delved deep into the world of Zen Buddhist inspired art making to get to the very essence of thing, not an imitation, but the TRUTH…the Zen way of seeing the world…

    There is a plethora of influences that have determined the character of American art, and often, they are propelled by various external cultural influences. The question for this study has been twofold. First, whether within the large fabric of American art’s interrelated influences there has been a transmission of Zen Buddhist philosophy from the Japanese culture? Second and more specifically, did the introduction of Zen Buddhist art making, introduced by Alon Bemont, Ernest Fenollosa, and Arthur Westley Dow, influence the works of Georgia O’Keeffe?

    Or it might be your last flight…

    Ido Barnea, a non-typical Israeli combat pilot, is flying a routine night flight over the Negev desert when suddenly his reliable Skyhawk jet fighter starts to vibrate uncontrollably and finally crashes, forcing Ido to eject at the last possible second. At that exact moment, in the heart of Brussels, a young girl is kidnapped. What is the connection between those two incidents? Who is behind them?

    Accused of betrayal, Ido is forced into a fast-paced dizzying chase in order to clear his name. Naama Sharon, a beautiful Mossad agent is sent after him, and the two encounter powerful arms dealers, cynical terrorists and corrupted army officers. In their struggle, they discover that the two mysterious incidents hide a deplorable crime.

    Aharoni manages to build up an exciting narrative in which sophisticated international hard core criminal network acts as setting for the building up relationship between the main characters.

    In ‘The Ultimate Green Energy’ four short stories have been selected, suitable for humans aged 11-16 years, and for older readers whose sense of wonder is still functional. Translated from the original non-human sources and annotated by senior branch Repositarian, Crustias Scattermush.

    =Collision Course =

    When Alnial jumps out of his second-story bedroom window to join Zovonia and her friends for a night out, her heart skips a beat. Then he lands on his hoverboard and he’s goofing around, showing off in that way that’s so annoying, but kinda cute at the same time.

    Before the night is out, teenage pranks and running curfew are things that Zovonia and Alnial must leave behind forever. When the new dawn breaks on their world, they must stick close together if they are to have any hope of surviving.

    =What Just Happened?=

    The daughter of the poor toymaker used to dream when she was a little girl that one day she would marry a prince, and that she and her father would never go hungry again. Many little girls dream of something similar, but for the toymaker’s daughter that dream is about to come true. Today is her wedding day. The prince is there waiting for her at the aisle. The queen and members of the court are there too. Everything’s perfect… until the arrival of the slavering zombies, the ninja nuns and the lord of the dark dimension.

    Today is her wedding day. Today the toymaker’s daughter must make a choice that will affect everyone.

    For ever.

    =The Cook, The Gardener, and the One-Day King =

    When his father dies unexpectedly, teenage Prince Idirian becomes King Idirian before he (or his mother) think he is ready. Ready or not, he has plans for the Kingdom of Ossiria. What he doesn’t reckon on is that Ossira has plans for him.

    At his coronation feast, Idirian is soon in a fight for his life, and the future of his people. The situation looks hopeless. Will Idirian go down in history as the One-Day King?

    =The Ultimate Green Energy=

    When the United Nations gave the mysterious Prometheus Corporation a mandate to deliver their new power source to an energy-hungry world, a wave of relief washed over a grateful world. The ultimate green energy doesn’t pollute, is endlessly renewable, and costs just pennies. Global warming solved! Oil wars a thing of the past! Clean air again!

    Sisters Katrine and Laura believe the new green energy is too good to be true. To prove it, they set off on a daring undercover operation to the stronghold of Prometheus at the North Pole.

    There they discover that some truths are best left hidden!

    Author Bio:
    I grew up on a diet of 2000AD, Star Wars and Blake’s 7. Not to mention Heinlein and Asimov and all those great writers. Even so, it was a surprise to me when I started writing and getting published in the early 2000s, and an even greater one when I was recruited by this organisation called The Repository of Imagination. They claim to be aliens come to set up a branch on Earth but they’ve a delay in translating their ‘story spheres’, and could I please tide them over with a few stories?

    So having written adult fiction for a decade, I wrote two YA mini-collections of short stories and novelettes: ‘The Ultimate Green Energy’ and ‘Treasure of the Last Dragon’. The repository editor (who goes by the unfeasible name of Crustias Scattermush) added his own rather pompous commentary and his name on the cover.

    My son loves to read these. He tells everyone at his school that his dad wrote a story called ‘The Snot Wizard’. Now I get some very odd looks from the other parents.

30. The Outback -

    About The Outback:

    When Matt joins the outback harvest trail he is filled with apprehension. Is it really worth doing three months of back breaking work in exchange for another year added to his visa? His new friends certainly think so and it is not long before they convince him of the same.

    Of course, none of them are counting on their new boss. Rhett is cold, callous and delights in watching others suffer. Convinced that the old man is hiding a criminal past, the backpackers begin to do a little digging. Nothing, however, can prepare them for what they find…

    As much a horror novel as a thriller, the author draws upon his experiences as a backpacker to create characters so real that the reader will think they know them. For anybody with an interest in travel and adventure, this story is a must read.

    Author Bio:
    After growing up in the north east of England, studying English Literature at Sunderland University and failing to make it as a rock star, the real story began in 2006, when just days after my 27th birthday, I boarded a plane to Sydney, Australia, with no return ticket.

    I spent 2 years in the land downunder and travelled through every far flung corner of the country, earning my keep by taking up jobs doing everything from pruning grape vines to tractor driving. In my spare time I vowed to try every new experience that was offered my way, no matter how crazy. I climbed glaciers, Swam with sharks, jumped from aeroplanes and pretty much tried to live life as much as possible.

    During this time overseas, I was also fortunate enough to meet the love of my life; Katie. Upon the our return to the UK in 2009, what was originally intended as a birthday present (a travel journal recounting our time in Asia) ultimately led to me finding my vocation in life. The travel journal soon progressed to fiction and I have since completed 3 novels and have several more in various stages of completion.

31. THE SEASONS OF OUR LIVES: How They Alternate From Good to Bad Ones and Vice Versa by George Kouloukis -

    About THE SEASONS OF OUR LIVES: How They Alternate From Good to Bad Ones and Vice Versa by George Kouloukis:

    Another title of this book could as well be FORESEE YOUR FUTURE. Indeed, as soon as they complete reading this book, the readers will learn how their lives’ seasons will alternate in the future – from good to bad ones and vice versa – and how long each season will last. They can act so accordingly.

    So, the book is a manual for living, irrespective of readers’ age, young or old. After finishing the book, the readers will be able to make crucial decisions regarding their career, marriage, family, relationships, and all other life’s issues. If they see that a storm arrives on the horizon, they will get shelter in time, or if sunny days loom ahead, they will take advantage before the opportunity passes.

    What inspired me to write this book? Like most of us, I had too observed in my life that distinct alternations of seasons from good to bad ones and vice versa had occurred. I wondered however, whether these alternations happened according to a specific pattern – and so we could foresee how long each season would last – or irregularly, without any pattern. To find out, I decided to see what happened in the lives of other people. For this purpose, I examined lots of biographies, and many of these I have included in the book. I mention only a few: the biographies of Beethoven, Napoleon, Columbus, Picasso, the Dalai Lama, Elizabeth Taylor, Queen Elizabeth I of England, Greek tycoon Aristotle Onassis, and many others.

    This work took me more than ten years for research. But the results derived from all biographies were amazing: all confirmed that the cycles of good and bad seasons in the lives of these people always occurred according to a certain pattern, as in my own life. That means therefore, that we can foresee how our own seasons will alternate in the future from good to bad and vice versa. This ability radically transforms of course, the way we all live today.

    What was the hardest part of writing my book? I had to convince the readers that the discovery I came up was indeed true. So, I had to cite in the book lots of biographies confirming the truth, but at the same time I had to divide these biographies in good and bad seasons. So, the writing of the book took me more than two years.

    I must add also that initially I offered the book free on line, so that as many readers as possible could benefit from my discovery. Soon, the book had more than 60,000 downloads, according to Google. At that point, an Australian publisher saw the book free on line, and he sent me an email saying what a fascinating book I have written, he wanted to publish it. So, the book came out also in print format.

    About The Epherium Chronicles: Cruible by T.D. Wilson:

    Book two of The Epherium Chronicles

    January, 2155

    Earth Defense Forces Captain James Hood is on the mission of his life. The Cygni solar system is just one space-fold jump away. One more jump and they’ll have reached the fledgling colony that Earth desperately needs if the human race is going to survive. But a plot to derail him has already damaged his ship, threatened the lives of his crew and cost him time. Time the colonists might not have.

    So much depends on him now, but Hood’s confidence is shaken. It’s self-doubt he thought he’d buried, a brutal mind-killer for all military commanders. Yet danger surrounds his team; a brutal insectoid alien race is still out there, intent on eradicating humans, and a greater threat from an unknown, elusive enemy has emerged.

    The forces at work on Cygni are like nothing Hood has trained for, tactically or emotionally. When put to the test, he must choose to either trust the unlikeliest of allies, or run and seal the fate of the Cygni colony forever.

    About God’s Loophole:

    A Machine turns 18-year-old Gabe telekinetic…for a terrible price.

    Nicknamed the bubble, an astonishing new technology isolates users from reality and lets them directly experience quantum effects. Inside the bubble, humans can even manipulate individual atoms. For the computer industry, it’s a dream come true.

    Except the bubble may have side effects.

    After being inside the bubble for only a few minutes, eighteen-year-old Gabe Rockwell feels a strange desire to go inside again. He has nightmares and wakes up vomiting in the middle of the night with no idea who he is. Even more troubling, the bubble seems to eat through every kind of radiation shielding known to man…whether it’s plugged in or not.

    Now, ever since that first time in the bubble, Gabe has been harboring a terrifying secret-a power, whose addictive pull he finds harder and harder to resist with each passing day: he’s developed the ability to move objects with his mind.

    Combining the genres of young adult, science fiction, and technothriller-and a little romance-God’s Loophole is the first book in a new mind-bending YA action adventure trilogy by Dan Rix. Can Gabe control his telekinesis? Or will his growing power destroy everything he holds dear, including the girl he loves.

37. The Death of the Wave -

    About The Death of the Wave:

    ==Knowledge will set you free==

    Following the fall of the modern world, the State of Eden is divided into two distinct classes that all adolescents must test into. Students with math and science aptitude enjoy a high quality of living and technology in the Palaces, but in the Camps, students with artistic and verbal abilities must scrounge to survive.

    Breaker 256, a policewoman who was born into poverty, had always followed the rules for the sake of her family. But when the unthinkable upends her world forever, she is faced with an irrevocable decision: take down the State, and face defeat, anarchy, and death, or stand idly by to watch the sufferings of all of that she cares for.

    Written in stark, unrhymed verse that reflects the desolate world of Eden, The Death of the Wave asks what is most important – is it the person who tells the tale or the fact that the story has been told at all?

    The Death of the Wave will delight aficionados of dystopian futures and literary science fiction.

    ==The war never ends. Only the enemies change.==

    Here’s the bottom line… I love to laugh, I love to drink and I love to eat.

    I also love writing.

    As a child I had stories going through my head. It took me a long time to realise I should write them down, therefore clearing my mind. Little did I know another one would pop up!

    I wanted to be painter since I was a child. I was told, while being assessed at the end of my art foundation, I should go into drama or be a stand-up comedian. I’m short, so even if I did ‘stand up’ it’d be hard to see me and I realise that was their way of telling me I was rubbish at art.

    I’ve worked in various jobs and I have been extremely lucky to do what I wanted to do… though I have a habit of changing my mind every so often.

    If you want something, go for it. The only thing holding you back is you. You only have one life so don’t say ‘if only’ say ‘well at least I tried’.

    Writing, like anything creative, is an exposure. Not everyone likes what you write, what you say or what you think… but some people do. That’s my focus. On the people who like what you write… what I write.
    The stories are written in British English… and translates perfectly for all!

    Author Bio:
    I just wanted to share my experiences of how I went from being a socially inept loner for over ten years, to now having long-term, passionate and meaningful relationships.

    I was the “quiet kid” for over ten years.

    I was just lucky enough to have one extremely outgoing best friend in every city I moved to who became my partner-in-crime. I was often overly dependent on this friend to be noticed by others or even gain some more varied social experiences. When he or she wasn’t around, it was always difficult for me to stand on my own. I was the type who found it challenging to express myself unless the right person got my “better” traits out of me. I also preferred alone time more often than being around too many people, only because it felt more comfortable and I felt less criticism and judgement that way.

    I had challenges building friendships or relationships on my own overtime. I didn’t know how to initiate or continue conversations that could develop to something more, even though I desired a deep connection and was never closed off to it. I was just easily turned off, hurt by and anxious of more assertive personalities or challenging social interactions. Because I didn’t have the natural skill and personality to develop a supportive social circle during my youth, I often just reverted to simply being silent, being a spectator and often times a loner. Instead of being out with friends, I spent most of my time watching movies and gaming online, because that was the only world I had felt some acceptance, confidence and comfort in. These were definitely lonely years of my youth that I wish I had made the best out of.

    Because I felt like I was missing out on so many experiences, I spent several years reading books and taking classes on developing communication skills, in an effort to improve my abilities in building meaningful and long-lasting friendships. However… nothing I learned seemed to effectively manifest itself into my life. All I learned were generic, surface-level social skills that never lead to anything profound except some small talks here and there, and having enough fake charisma to land the occasional retail job. I hated my life! I was depressed, lacked self-esteem, was full of doubt and had no hope that my life would get better. I had bigger dreams, and a hidden personality which I had difficulty expressing for some reason. I wondered… How come no amount of psychological books, personality books, tests, communication skills classes or workshops worked to help me? Was I just dumb or slow? I was still having a hard time coming up with what to say or do. I still had difficulties attracting the ideal life, friends and opportunities I wanted. I even had difficulties emotionally connecting to my own family as I grew older. I felt like something was wrong and missing. I couldn’t find the answer for several years, and instead it was spent video gaming online with other distant players, since that was the only place I could somehow express myself and catch a glimpse of my better traits.

    My mentor entered my life in 2010 and patiently helped me through this struggle, year after year, until everything “clicked” with me.

    It was a very challenging journey of trials and errors, and I often wanted to quit and go back to my comfortable and escapist activities of video gaming, shopping and watching movies (I did it everyday). But because of my desperate situation at the time, I kept my mind open to the specific knowledge he taught for developing social confidence. I discovered that a lot of material that works is often considered “unconventional” and a little “out there” in modern society. But it all actually made sense in the real world as long as you knew how to apply them.

    I dug deeper to understand the foundational concepts and techniques which were actually well designed for those with social anxiety, introverted traits and low confidence. I went out and practiced my social skills with a completely different perspective.

    Life is of course not so simple. I crashed and burned for three straight years before I was able to build up my true core confidence. I completely embarrassed myself several times. I went through a spiral of emotional ups and downs, an identity crisis every few months, run-ins with the law, developed tension with my family, almost burned bridges with one best friend, and got sucked into the world of underground nightlife which made me a bit jaded about people in general. So, what gives? Did I become a bigger social failure?

    Actually, here is the part where things actually clicked and all those years of theory actually internalized for me.

    Even throughout the mess I got myself into, I was finally living. I wasn’t experiencing life through a fictional character anymore, it was my own. I was learning how to maneuver my own life by going through a lot more complex social situations than I had ever imagined I would find myself in. Because of the challenging situations I had to be accountable for, all of my anxieties, discomforts, and doubts about building relationships completely dissolved–out of necessity–and that was when I was able to truly open myself up to building genuine, long-lasting and meaningful friendships. I found passion, drive, openness and acceptance in my life. I really learned about human nature and while I saw some dark sides, I still developed a greater love for people than I ever have before.

    With those years of trial-and-error and selective theoretical research, I wanted to share my own perspective of the simplified, specific and very effective methods that work to help people like me get OUT of their own mental prisons. All I request from you, my peers and readers, is to have an open mind, forget the social conditioning you’ve learned prior to this, drop a bit of ego, and proactively apply these ideas and methods to your life.

    About Sociology: A Practical Understanding of Why We Do What We Do by Jonny Bell:

    You may have always wondered what drives us human beings to do certain things and think of certain ideas. What exactly makes us tick? For many people, the question may have only popped up in their heads from time to time, though it’s not hard to imagine such a question has also led to many a sleepless night as some naturally curious people are very often compelled to wonder.

    Whether you belong to the first or the second group of people, wonder no more as this book will provide you the answer to the question “Why do we do what we do?” Through extensive, detailed, and well-researched facts and other information, Sociology: A Practical Understanding of Why We Do What We Do aims to explain the uniqueness of human behavior as well as the tendency of people to act the way they act under different circumstances—either driven by instinct or after much thought—despite the notion of free will which is perhaps the one thing that separates us from all other living creatures.

    Yes, we human beings are still free to act as we please, but considering the growing influence of our surroundings, it may be surprising to know just how much freedom we get to exercise in any given situation (though that’s not necessarily a bad thing as this book will also explain).

The only bright spot on her horizon are Ciaran’s e-mails but then she meets David Seagar whom she thinks might just be the ending to her happy ever after but will he prove to be far from perfect too?

    Hi all, my name’s Michelle Vernal. I’m a 42 year old, married Mum of two boys who lives in the pretty little town of Oxford located in New Zealand’s South Island. Writing is something I have always used as a way of expressing myself and my first foray into the romantic and humorous world of chick lit is recorded in my thirteen year old self’s compulsory school journal. In it, much to the delight of my English teacher, I described in minutiae the heartbreak of being dumped after my first school disco. It was a scene I re-wrote into The Brazilian Job my first novel.

    After my first son was born I attended a creative writing course and the first piece I ever penned was published by a New Zealand parenting magazine. I went on to write humorous, opinion styled pieces of my take on parenting but when the necessity for being politically correct got too much I set myself the challenge of writing a novel. The result was The Brazilian Job. The story opens in Dublin where my now hubby and I based ourselves back in the Millennium when the Celtic Tiger was roaring. My second novel Second-hand Jane is also set in Dublin because it provides such a character filled backdrop. We have a love of travel and starting our family in 2004 hasn’t changed that. In 2008 we crossed Argentina, Chile and Uruguay by bus with backpacks and our two boys plonked in strollers – it was fantastic. Last year we visited LA, the Greek Islands, France and Hong Kong with our boys and that has only managed to scratch the tip of the wish list. It has also given me loads of ideas for future stories.

    About Dragon’s Chase (Paranormal Protection Agency) (Paranormal Protection Agency Book 7):

    “He’s found his mate. But can he convince her that he’s her dragon?

    Working for the Paranormal Protection Agency has never been boring, but shadow-dragon Duke

    didn’t expect to meet his mate in the line of duty. He certainly didn’t expect a warrior every inch

    his match, or for her to slap him across the ass with her tail and take off across the city.

    With Baron on a very personal protection detail, Duke has to fly solo on the pair’s investigation

    into the warlock who nearly killed Baron’s mate. Just one problem, his mate is working with the

    warlock. So, dead or alive, he has to bring her in…

    She found the one thing she didn’t want. Her mate. Now she needs to get rid of him before

    he ruins her mission…

    Sleeping for centuries has it’s drawbacks, Chase knew that going in. What she didn’t expect was

    to wake with a Warlock’s spelled collar around her neck and to find her charge, the Queen’s

    daughter, in a cage. Vowing to free them both will take skill and strength and she doesn’t need

    the distraction of a hot as hell male dragon trying to make his claim on her. Even though her

    heart aches to complete their joining, she can’t. Not yet.

    The mission, or her heart. Can she have both? Or will she need one to complete the other?”

    About Flither Lass:

    In a small Yorkshire coastal fishing village, 16-year-old Amy Trott makes a meagre living scouring the shoreline for flithers (limpets) to use as bait on her father’s fishing lines. It is an inhospitable world of deep crevices and rock pools, where the fast-flowing tide can so easily trap the unwary in minutes, cutting them off from safety.

    Wild and unkempt, she is marginalized by the local community, which treats her as slow-witted, a virtual outcast. In those days, flither girls were seen as the lowest of the low; the hard work they did, toiling in freezing conditions, scaling cliff faces, wading out to sea and braving the treacherous currents, went largely unappreciated and undervalued. Amy braves the ferocious conditions without question or complaint; it is all she has ever known.

    One stormy day, her life is torn apart when her beloved father is lost at sea. In her denial of events, she searches the sea and shore, convinced that he will return, but instead of her father she finds another refugee washed ashore. Facing a life-threatening decision, she can either leave him there to perish and save her own life, or she can try to save both herself and this mysterious man. But in doing so, she risks being cut off and suffering a cruel death in the freezing water of the North Sea. The trouble is, it is 1915 and the refugee is German …

60. The Other of One: Book One (Editor’s Edition) by Brian Burke -

    About The Other of One: Book One (Editor’s Edition) by Brian Burke:

    It is the turn of the 20th century, Ireland, when a young boy – William Muldoon – happens upon a friendly Grogoch who shows him to his mythical home underground. There he meets the Dwelvin-Mites; a community of Imps whom he’d always been fascinated by through story.

    His fascination soon wanes when their beautiful guide, Anun the Creator, explains to him how they are in hiding from an evil tyrant – a Wrythunn warrior and Pooka named Drevol Briggun – who has seized their subterranean home of Lythiann and how it is up to William to assassinate him, being the reincarnation of the only other Wrythunn in existence who has the potential to confront Briggun’s power. What’s more, a curse has been placed on William’s home, and the only way for it to be reversed is upon Briggun’s death.

    With little choice in the matter, William takes to the seemingly empty world of Lythiann to carry out this frightening task, only to discover that it’s not as uninhabited as he first believed.

    Singly joined by a friendly rabble, he learns more about himself, his past, his future, and how his transformation into the great Wrythunn warrior, Mysun Margyle, will not hold true without the Symphogram; a gramophone-like device which performs Mysun’s mighty theme. A composition known as the Banádh.

    For this to happen, he needs to truly understand his cause, which isn’t as easy as he once thought..

    Author Bio:
    Born in Waterford, Ireland, in 1981, I later moved up to Galway in ’88. There I attended St. Pat’s primary school before serving my five year sentence at St. Joseph’s secondary.

    Not all my subjects made me want to rip fistfuls of my hair out and use them for earplugs. English appealed to me very much. Why? Because English involves writing. And the only ingredients writing requires are passion, patience, and imagination. Not foreign languages or algebra (unless you want to include them, if that’s your thing)

    It was only in October 2002, did my little writing hobby really change the course of my life. I’d begun working on a fantasy called ‘Kaddareth’. In the meantime I was doing a creative writing course at Kilroy’s College, Dublin.

    I was asked to present them with the opening pages of a sample novel. Thinking nothing of it, I began…

    I wrote through the night. Red Bull cans scattered about my desk lamp. By the time I was done, I was well beyond the assignment’s word allowance. The idea was just too vast for a simple 1,500 word exercise. But I liked what I’d written so much that I didn’t want to just send it adrift, nor could I edit it because the details were just too damn essential to the plot. So I contacted the college the following morning and asked if I could exceed it, just this once – with sugar on top. As expected, no such permsission was granted, which was perfectly fair (and to this day I’m glad!)

    So I put that story to one side, submitted some other ‘thrown-together’ piece, and straight-away returned to the other.

    That piece was the beginnings of ‘The Other of One’…

    I have since ditched Kaddareth and have continued on this course; adding on further installments to (what has become known as) ‘The Other of One’ series as I go. Best of all, it has been so well received!

    The Boy: Playboy Mark St James has it all; wealth, charm, and luxury. He hasn’t been doing too badly in his personal life either; for the past couple of years he’s been dating someone nearly twenty years older than himself, there’s nothing in it though; it’s just a bit of fun, that’s the mutual feeling between them anyway. However when his parents worry that he’s not mature enough to inherit his fortune and the family business, they decide to test his potential by setting him up with a girl from a respectable family and Mark is nowhere near prepared for the emotional havoc and turmoil that is to follow; particularly when the girl’s family is a little too close to home.

    The Girl: Siobhan’s sure that she’s met “the one” when she’s introduced to Mark, however she soon discovers that this potential romance may not be as idyllic as she’d hoped.

    The…Woman? Thirty-eight year old Christine is a successful business woman and single – At least, that’s what her family thinks. For the past few years she’s managed to keep her family and her personal life separate. However that could all change when her sister and brother-in-law set her niece up with the last person she expects…Or wants!

63. Rise of the Huskers (The Raven Falconer Chronicles) by Dennis Larsen -

    About Rise of the Huskers (The Raven Falconer Chronicles) by Dennis Larsen:

    Episode 2 of The Raven Falconer Chronicles.

    The quaint, little resort town of Banff, Alberta, set against the backdrop of majestic mountains and glacier lakes, is being torn apart by Huskers: virally-altered humans acting on deep, carnal instincts. The surviving populace, including Raven Falconer, her roommates, and RCMP Officer Zygmunt Nowicki, battle for resources, their lives, and a safe place to call their own.

    Nathan Edwards, self-appointed leader of the Husker band, aggressively leads his group on horrific death-and-devour missions throughout the community, instilling fear among the healthy, and destroying any hope of rescue or survival. Episode Two looks inside the murderous horde, their thoughts, actions and the sense of ‘pack’ that develops, as their numbers grow. The once peaceful Biathlon Olympian controls the egregious Huskers with overblown aggression and a gift for carnage. He rules, trying to fill an insatiable void, temporarily satisfying vulgar urges, while dominating the mob – simply because he can.

    As if the girls and Ziggy didn’t have enough to cope with, a new threat emerges, extending an olive branch, tainted with arsenic. Darwin Gladue, visionary and self-anointed chief of a local native tribe, violently takes control of his people and leads them on a desperate errand to restore their tribal lands.

    Diminishing supplies, greed, lust and an unstoppable will to survive will pit the three parties against one another, culminating in a spectacular climax of death and ruination, but for whom?

    Episode 3, Vengeance Fulfilled, is available now.

65. Operation Z-Day (The Raven Falconer Chronicles) by Dennis Larsen -

    About Operation Z-Day (The Raven Falconer Chronicles) by Dennis Larsen:

    The year is 2019 and the world is ripe for the next great pandemic. Viral genomes mutate on the fly, casual intimacy is common and travel is easy. These factors and others allow the spread of a caustic invader to overwhelm, then overcome their host organism — us. Calgary, Alberta, known to the world for The Stampede and 1988 Winter Olympics, is home to Raven Falconer, an aspiring author, and her three roommates. The women, fun-loving and educated, are intent on furthering their careers and life’s circumstances. Soon their lives will be tested to the very limits of friendship and human endurance.

    The planet’s history is put on hold as Canada suffers the devastating effects of an out-of-control virus, spawning a worldwide epidemic. Travel, commerce, all day-to-day activities are suspended, but it’s too late. Thousands, then millions fall victim to the infection. The elderly and weak succumb while the survivors lose brain function and ultimately their identity, spiraling into a zombie-like state where only carnal instincts prevail.

    Seeing the writing on the wall, the friends retreat to the mountains of Banff in search of peace and shelter, hoping the worst will pass. They emerge from a secluded cabin to find marshal law instituted and a world turned upside down, where kill or be killed is rampant. Join Raven, her best friends Mick, Bobi, and Hannah for the ride of their lives. Throw in an Olympic Biathlon competitor, Nathan Edwards, infected with the transforming virus and nowhere is safe.

    Episode One traces the roommates’ flight from the city and their face-to-face encounters with an emerging, deadly threat, the Huskers: animalistic post-viral humans who will do anything to survive.

67. Orion Connection -

    About Orion Connection:

    The greatest cover up of all time . . . was orchestrated five thousand years ago . . . this is the continuation of that story.

    ORION CONNECTION is the first installment in the Legends trilogy, in which fiction novelist, S DeGiorgio, offers an eerily plausible connection between Mars and the rise of modern civilization.

    It’s 2050, Earth’s resources are nearly gone, armies guard what precious little remains, and as mankind prepares to set foot on Mars, leaders of an ancient society are forced out of the shadows to protect secrets they’ve guarded for millennia.

    NASA veteran and living legend, Commander Robert Lawson, is having the worst day of his life. On the eve of Earth’s first manned mission to Mars, unknown adversaries have murdered four members of his crew, including his pilot and hand-picked successor, Mitch Reynolds.

    Rumor and espionage threaten to tear the crew apart at a time when America can’t afford to fail. Continuing our way of life requires the world to witness the stars and stripes being plunged into Martian soil, but as the reserve team is pressed into service, fears grow within government circles that co-conspirators may be on board.

    Standing down is not an option. Control of Mars’ mineral rights will reestablish America’s position as the leader of the free world–except we’re not the only country in the race for the red planet.

    No one’s ever gone farther than the moon. Members of the crew only have each other, elite training, and raw instincts to rely on. Not everyone believes they’ll make it home, and some consider them expendable–acceptable losses to advance the cause–but Lawson has no intention of letting that happen.

    Inspired by the real, but highly controversial “anomalies” detected in the Cydonia region of Mars by Viking I in 1976, and the unexplainable technological marvels that predate the rise of Egypt on Earth by thousands of years–this novel is rocket fuel for people seeking answers to the question, “Are we alone?”

71. HAVANA QUEEN -

    About HAVANA QUEEN:

    Political turmoil engulfs Cuba. As the Castros’ rendezvous with mortality finally arrives, FBI Agent Nick Castillo is swept up in a maelstrom of espionage, intrigue and guerrilla war. Amazon Kindle Bestselling author James Bruno delivers another knockout thriller!

    Cuba roils with political unrest as Fidel and Raul Castro sink deeper into dementia and failing health. In a desperate ploy to save the communist regime, sultry Cuban spymaster Larisa Montilla takes on the CIA in a tit-for-tat shadow war of assassination. As the bodies pile up, FBI Agent Nick Castillo defies orders and travels clandestinely to Havana. Nick gets more than he bargained for, falling into a trap set by Montilla, Fidel’s heir to power. But Montilla’s leverage over Nick is matched by his discovery of a deep secret in her past, leading to a war of wits.

    Nick returns to ferret out a web of spies deep inside the U.S. government which Havana has patiently built up over the years — traitors who are hemorrhaging official secrets. But he must navigate a wilderness of mirrors that leads him to an assassination plot against the Castros’ No. 1 enemy – the President of the United States.

    Steeped in the world of government secrets, with service in Cuba and Gitmo, the author makes you feel like you’ve been cleared into a Top Secret program, confident that you have the inside information.
