  2. Four Mothers -

    front_only_four_mothers_tagline_smallAbout Four Mothers:

    Sometimes, a mother’s flaws are dangerous.

    Nobody is perfect at being a mother, and that is especially true for the mothers featured in this short story collection. In each story, we meet a mother as she deals with a real or perceived crisis and her flaws emerge. In Almost Perfect, Bitsy’s flaw causes her to take a truly horrendous action, proving that it’s not just stepmothers who are wicked. Tilda, the mother we meet in As Luck Would Have It, exudes luck from every pore, but she has flawed expectations that may end up shaping her daughter’s reality. Felicity is relishing her overbearing husband’s absence on a business trip, when her Two-Day Break suddenly turns into a nightmare. In The Beads, Iram is living a nightmare — a child in a coma after nearly choking to death — when something happens that affects her entire outlook. Also included in the collection is a bonus story,Lynch Party, about a mother who has a different perspective on what makes a great party activity.

  3. The Prophet of Amon: The Alien Connection in Ancient Egypt ^ (Secret of the Mummy Book 2) -

    Book-Cover-20-best-sRGBAbout The Prophet of Amon: The Alien Connection in Ancient Egypt ^ (Secret of the Mummy Book 2):

    In ancient Egypt circa 1500 B.C. – the era when the beautiful and noble Queen Hatshepsut rose to power to become the first great female leader in recorded history – a mysterious man ascended from the masses to speak His Word. His appearance on earth coincided with two major planetary events which forever changed Man’s history; phenomena that is well-documented in modern university textbooks across the globe.

    But was this man truly “The Prophet of Amon”… or perhaps the Almighty himself? Or was he a fraud and sham… a delusional, mortal man who thought of himself as a grandiose being with a preordained mission on earth to save the masses from a path of degradation and enslavement?

    This was the quandary facing Her Highness, the eminent Queen Hatshepsut, as well as the entire populace of the Egyptian Empire, now in its height of glory, power and grandeur.

    Based on fact and exhaustive historical research, Bjorn Street’s second historical novel takes dead aim at the very foundation of recorded history, and shakes the dust from the musty annals used by past scholars. Controversial and hard-hitting, the heated debate continues:

  6. Lust and the Storm: A Novel by A.R. Valencia -

    LatS-tCSt-Cover-BoxSetAbout Lust and the Storm: A Novel by A.R. Valencia:

    Caught in a dangerous power struggle, Imogen Bell must give up the loveless lie she’s been living and face the secret of her past before a beautiful stranger’s quest for vengeance tears her heart and the rest of the world to pieces.

    Book 1

    Imogen Bell should be happy. It’s been five years since she escaped her past and things are going well. She’s at university, she has friends, she’s sleeping with an excitingly inappropriate guy, and she’s even learned to control the voices in her head. It’s not saying much but her life is as far from falling apart as it’s ever been. Then the dream that haunted her childhood comes back — the one about the beautiful man with the golden eyes.

    Dreaming about him again is bad enough but things get worse when she finds out he’s real. She tries to stay in control but as her dreams, her past, and her present collide in a storm of lust and intrigue she’s forced to face her insatiable desires for this dangerous stranger.

    Book 2

    The golden-eyed man from her dreams is real. Imogen should know. She just made love to him. But the trouble with dreams made real is they have a habit of turning into nightmares when the sun comes up. It’s a new day and Imogen has to deal with the fallout from getting close to a man more powerful and dangerous than she can imagine. She’ll learn who he is but that means he can never let her go.

    Book 3

    In the epic conclusion to the story of Imogen Bell and Henri Vauquelin, all is revealed and all is risked. Imogen must race against time to save herself, the world, and the damaged man she has fallen in love with. He’s set on a path of destruction and her only hope is to make him see that the love he thought lost forever is standing in front of him right now.

    Lust and the Storm is a thrilling romance that smashes headlong into the limits of love, desire, faith, and sacrifice.

    **Books 1, 2, & 3 in a three part Erotic Romance Serial.**

    Washed from the ocean…identities unknown…who were they?

    The body of a young woman is washed ashore on a secluded beach. She does not fit the description of anyone on Missing Persons lists. Fingerprints, dental records and DNA provide no leads.

    Detective Adam Bennett discovers a pattern of similar cases – unidentified bodies found along the coasts of Australia and the United States, and he is determined to solve the mystery.

    These are six young men and women who seem to have never existed.

    When her brother meets a terrifying death in the wilderness, Kate Kovacs employs her IT skills to help track the killers. A baffling link is found between these two cases, leading Adam and Kate on a labyrinth trail to a scientific research center, to a Washington power elite, and to a secret reaching back over thirty years to a war-ravaged Vietnam.

    Ruthless forces are gathering, and they will stop at nothing to keep the secret hidden. Adam and Kate just became their targets…

    THE DELTA CHAIN is a suspense thriller and an enigma with a scientific edge,

    combining murder and conspiracy that leads to an explosive climax.

    Author Bio:
    In my childhood, I used to ride water buffaloes and wade in swamps. When I discovered books, I would go adventuring with Anne of Green Gables, the Pevensies, Bilbo Baggins, or Alanna of Trebond. I incurred my mother’s displeasure for reading too many romance novels, so I learned to hide them and read underneath covers with a flashlight late at night. Nowadays, I travel and write dark fairy tales and romantic novels about adventurous women. And I still stay up too late reading, even though I don’t get in trouble for it anymore.

    A century has passed since they arrived. Human history has been erased. Children are enslaved on Alien plantations. Some have heard whispers of the existence of a rebel band of humans who roam free in the forests.

Her bliss fades when she discovers she is the only Savior without a special ability. She is the odd one out, slowly pushing Finn away, defying Damian, the leader of the Saviors, and antagonizing the fierce and beautiful Daphne.

  16. Samson’s Deal -

    samsonsAbout Samson’s Deal:

    Ex-Chicago-cop Jake Samson is tired of the rat race. He’s living in laid back Oakland, California with a couple of cats and just enough savings to eat canned oysters and accept collect calls from his bemused parents, when an old friend–a progressive political science processor–calls with an enticing offer. Seems the professor’s wife was found dead in the backyard of their Berkeley home, and he wants to pay Jake ten thousand dollars (plus expenses) to figure out whodunit.

    The police pick up the usual leads; jealousy, dirty politics, and an estate worth killing for. Naturally, since the professor is the dead woman’s spouse, he’s the primary suspect. Samson doesn’t like the guy much, but the case heats up – quite literally–when the professor’s office is set afire by a radical right wing activist group, of which, it turns out, the wife was a member.

    With his sidekick Rosie, and her justice-dispensing two-by-four, Samson follows a twisted trail leads through the Bay Area’s bizarre cultural labyrinth; from pop meditation ashrams to neo-Nazi rallies, to the startling, but all too human truth.

    Kindle_Cover_Final_smallAbout Laika in Lisan by Maron Anrow:

    Laika Roen has always been strangely attracted to Lisan, a mysterious and isolated country where the citizens worship their despotic leader. When Laika suddenly receives an invitation to travel to Lisan as a visiting scholar, she abandons her career as a private tutor to pursue adventure in Lisan.

    But Laika gets more than she bargained for when her trip is disrupted by violence and she’s forced to set out on her own. As she journeys through forbidden sections of the foreign country, Laika discovers horrible truths about the relationship between Lisan’s leader and his people.

    Can a simple scholar change the course of an entire country? And even if she can, should she? The distinction between right and wrong blurs as Laika explores not only Lisan, but her own conscience.

    Geoffrey Neil, his fabulous wife and talkative son live in Los Angeles with a useless, ungrateful fish that Geoffrey threatens at least once daily. Writing novels has proven to be a grueling process for Geoffrey, but he can’t break the obsession even though he tries to prioritize sleep, TV and people over keyboards. His books provide a satisfying scare with very little blood, a tactic many readers find equally assaulting on the senses. Geoffrey’s overactive imagination and genuine fear of almost everything are tools that help him write novels, but also get him wound tighter than an eight-day clock. His wife calls him the mayor of Stress Town. Go try one of his books. It will make the poor guy feel better … And that could save a pathetic fish.

  21. The City of Man: Inferno -

    b2About The City of Man: Inferno:

    Book I of a trilogy based on a true story of the Italian Renaissance, structured on Dante’s The Divine Comedy.
    Florence celebrated its Golden Age during the late 15th century under Lorenzo de’ Medici, the Magnificent. This was the age of artists, philosophers and poets like Leonardo, Michelangelo, Botticelli, and Machiavelli.But a societal crisis was imminent by the century’s last decade. As chaos loomed, an obscure Dominican friar, Girolamo Savonarola, arose to restore order. A charismatic preacher and prophet who advocated religious and political reform, his mission was to transform his corrupt society into St. Augustine’s mythical City of God. At the height of his reign he orchestrated the infamous Bonfire of the Vanities, fomenting a wave of popular discontent to become the most influential religious and political figure of the age. His theocratic republic left its indelible mark on the face of Florence, Italy, and Western history.The City of Man is the dramatic story of this preacher’s fantastic rise and tragic fall. Young Niccolo Machiavelli provides the counterpoint to Savonarola as he develops his new political philosophy. Their momentous clash illuminates the transition from the Age of Faith to the Age of Reason, heralding the birth of our modern age.
    Formatted especially for the Kindle, the digital version incorporates special features to explore the world of Renaissance Florence, including maps, family trees, art images, dozens of internal and external hyperlinks to biographies and historical events, an extensive glossary and selected scene index.

    Book I of The Sentient Prophecy

    When a patient at the birth center begs her to take her baby and keep him safe, Anna finds herself swept up into the affairs of the mysterious Dorn family. The Dorns belong to the Sentient, a clandestine group whose study of alchemy has granted them near-immortality, along with other powers.

    Anna finds herself at the mercy of the Dorns. The patriarch’s health is rapidly deteriorating even though his kind can supposedly never fall ill. The daughter has borne a child to a human man in spite of the prophecy foretelling that such a half-breed will bring about the end of life as the Sentient know it. The sexy younger son can be just as infuriating as he is charming, and the older son thinks Anna knows too much and should be silenced.

    When her world collides with theirs, nothing will ever be quite the same for Anna, or for the Sentient.

    Eric Franklin had his first taste of leadership during a summer job when at age 16, he was appointed supervisor to over 200 peer employees at his local amusement park. He has been on a mentoring roller coaster ride ever since. Although Eric has held a multitude of distinguished positions over the years and is currently CEO/owner of several successful businesses that operate across the U.S., his core values are as basic to the soul as a peanut butter sandwich is to a hungry appetite. Eric’s formal education has earned him a Bachelor’s degree in biology from Hampton University and a Master’s in procurement and acquisitions from Webster University. His family and community have been the most influential in imparting upon him the character traits that have enabled him to be so successful. When Eric isn’t busy with writing, business coaching and running several businesses, his ideal scenario for a day would be he, his wife and 3 kids, eating fresh seafood on a tropical island, with of course, the family dog and cat close at hand. An accomplished musician, Eric would end the day by playing a few of his favorite music selections on the piano. Eric also enjoys the simple things in life, like peanut butter.

  27. The Twelfth of Never by Brenda Ortega -

    coverfinal1About The Twelfth of Never by Brenda Ortega:

    Presley may be smart, but she buckles under pressure – or more specifically, she alphabetizes. In stressful moments her mind grabs words and compulsively sorts the letters, like a frightened guard dog chasing its tail. So it’s no surprise when signs from the universe constantly warn her: stay out of the spotlight.

    That’s hard to do when her Elvis-loving mom, the school secretary, plays embarrassing snippets of The King’s hits on the PA every day. It’s even harder when the school’s biggest goofball nominates Presley for president and her campaign speech turns disastrous. Her greatest refuge from the drama is her adorable nephew. But Luke’s mom – Presley’s teenage sister – has a secret that threatens to tear the boy from the family forever, unless Presley can stop it.

    Maybe the universe is out to get her. Or perhaps it’s whispering a new message: Stay cool. Step into the spotlight. Summon your inner Elvis.
