    WINNER: Kindle Book Review Best Indie Book of 2012 – Young Adult
    WINNER: League of Utah Writers Golden Quill Award 2012
    FINALIST: The 2012 USA Best Book Awards (sponsored by USA Book News) – Young Adult

    Evolved Publishing presents the award-winning Old West Zombie Adventure in “Wanted: Dead or Undead” (Book 1 of The Zombie West Series) by Angela Scott. (Young Adult, Zombie Western Romance)

    Trace Monroe doesn’t believe in luck. He never has. But when a fiery-headed cowgirl saunters through the saloon doors, wielding shotguns and a know-how for killing the living dead, he believes he just may be the luckiest man alive.

    Trace wants to join Red’s posse, but she prefers to work alone—less messy that way. In order to become her travelling companion, Trace has to agree to her terms: no names, no questions, and if he gets bit, he can’t beg for mercy when she severs his brain stem.

    He agrees, knowing only that Red is the sharpest shooter he’s ever encountered. The fact she’s stunning hasn’t escaped his attention either.

    What he doesn’t know, is that Red has a very good reason to be on top of her game. She not only has the answer for how they can all outlive the plague taking over the wild, wild west, she IS the answer.

    Author Bio:
    Angela Scott hears voices. Tiny fictional people sit on her shoulders and whisper their stories in her ear. Instead of medicating herself, she decided to pick up a pen, write down everything those voices tell me, and turn it into a book. She’s not crazy. She’s an author. For the most part, she writes contemporary Young Adult novels. However, through a writing exercise that spiraled out of control, she found herself writing about zombies terrorizing the Wild Wild West–and loving it. Her zombies don’t sparkle, and they definitely don’t cuddle. At least, she wouldn’t suggest it. She lives on the benches of the beautiful Wasatch Mountains with two lovely children, one teenager, and a very patient husband. She graduated from Utah State University with a B.A. degree in English, not because of her love for the written word, but because it was the only major that didn’t require math. She can’t spell, and grammar is her arch nemesis. But they gave her the degree, and there are no take backs.

  2. Schrödinger’s Dachshund: A Novel of Espionage, Astounding Science, and Wiener Dogs by Petronius Jablonski -

    SD_eBook_coverAbout Schrödinger’s Dachshund: A Novel of Espionage, Astounding Science, and Wiener Dogs by Petronius Jablonski:

    Spy by night, blogger by day, Zelda Alpizar becomes infected by a contagion known to civilians as guilt, forcing her to choose between following orders or intervening to save two watchmen. Their trance-like lethargy makes them the ideal storage drives for a detonation code. Decrypting it could have lethal side-effects. Though the most important thing Zelda will ever find, the boundary between good and evil is of little value in a place where the only legend reads Here There Be Monsters.

    Security guards, harbingers of dawn, are they not warriors? Beneath the polyester Travis and Alex consist of flesh and blood. A predator stalks them, more implacable than skateboarders. Putting your tax dollars to work, the NSA discovers that human storage devices offer greater security than digital ones. Dead drives tell no tales. Like all their secrets it’s soon available to the highest bidder. When Zelda infiltrates a secret society lending this service to terrorists, she sees how the private sector can be almost as wicked and incompetent as the government.

    They should have chosen a more secure password. “Mary Weatherworth” is also an adult actress beloved by security guards, and an urban legend reputed to appear in mirrors when summoned thrice. According to physicist William Werzinski, she’s the sentry between quantum worlds. Busy lady. This ambiguity entwines discrepant parties in strange ways. Connected to them all by one degree of separation, the sausage link in a karmic chain, Maestoso the Dachshund waddles across this remorseless battlefield, observing the chaos, perhaps resolving it.

    Set against the malevolence and entropy of the mortgage meltdown, Schrödinger’s Dachshund prowls the shades of gray separating science from the paranormal, internet memes from philosophy, and unpleasant necessity from evil.

    Where Melting Crayons and Burning Battleships Come Together – a novel about the salvation of an autistic child

    Frank would like to be successful with women and with writing, but his autistic childhood, visual impairment, dismissive parents, and narcissistic brother are too much to overcome. Then on vacation in Hawaii, Frank has what feels like a paranormal experience on the Arizona Memorial that starts him down a path of psychological and spiritual self-discovery. In making the transitions from weird to respected, awkward to insightful, brainy to wise, his relationships with women shift from fearful to erotic, and through them doors open to unexpected opportunities with his writing. Lifting himself from the purgatory to which his past had banished him, he inadvertently helps free those he connects with from their own shadowed depths, making his story the Memoir of an Unlikely Savior.

  4. End Stress : A practical guide to nondual meditation -

    end_stress_coverAbout End Stress : A practical guide to nondual meditation:

    This highly practical guide shows you clearly and directly how to remove stress, anger, fear and worry by becoming more realistic, using 2,500 year old meditation and therapy tools and inspired by masters of nondual and Buddhist wisdom traditions including Dzogchen, Mahamudra, Zen, Madhyamika, Advaita and Tao. Jonathan Harrison teaches nondual and Buddhist meditation and psychology .

    The guide explains how mental stress is created and how to remove it from your life in all its forms including anger, anxiety, disappointment, discontent, dissatisfaction, dread, envy, fear, frustration, guilt, humiliation, impatience, insult, misery, mistrust, regret, tension and worry.

    It is enough to grasp deeply how things really work. The past has gone, is unalterable, the future is non-existent except as your present expectations, and “now” is already here. Within this realization, true rest occurs naturally. This is non-meditation, natural meditation or “resting in natural awareness” as Longchen Rabjam, the renowned Tibetan yogi and Dzogchen meditation master, put it.

    By recognizing the nature of reality you are able to live, love and benefit yourself and others more easily, as you no longer experience the frustration of trying to grasp at imagined parts of your experience or trying to remove them.

    Author Bio:
    I, Vatali Zinchenko, am a full time writer, life guru and self-help instructor, and I have personally experienced the downward spiral that is addiction. Enthusiastic about the American Dream, I decided to emigrate from USSR to USA during, when I was in my teen years with the help of my parents.
    As my hormones were going in all directions I found myself perusing different goals than I had previously anticipated. Instead of following my dreams, I started searching for different sexual activities and events that I can attend. A teenager, I found the pleasure of masturbating, while watching pornographic content. Although, this seemed perfectly normal, I started going on the downward spiral and lost focus. Everything in my life came crashing down, as I lost touch with my friends and loved ones, while focusing on the pleasures that pornography and masturbation was giving me.
    I didn’t manage to notice how fast time passed me by and a few years later; I had finished high school, but didn’t go into college. Without a job, my days consisted of trying to survive and pay the rent, by getting loans from everyone I could possibly imagine. I had no ambition or drive as the pornographic addiction in my life has taken everything from me.
    The worst part was the fact that I was constantly changing my viewing desires every single week. Starting with soft-core porn, I later began searching for more weird pornographic content that would satisfy my interests. It wasn’t until one moment of epiphany when I was searching the deepest corners of the web for disgusting materials to get me aroused, that my life changed forever.
    As if awaken from a coma, seeing the videos that were on my computer screen I felt truly ashamed of myself. I couldn’t recall when the past few years have gone by. Even though luck stroke me and I found a job decent enough for me to get back on my feet and pay the rent, pornography and masturbation addiction was always there, like a black cloud, following me closely.
    Hopeless, I attended a ton of self-help seminars and read a lot of books on how to deal with self-discipline, but I just couldn’t find the right path. After years of getting knowledgeable about psychology, how the human mind works and the strategies used by hundreds of professors and life-gurus, I finally managed to achieve the self-discipline I craved for and overcoming pornography addiction for me became an easy task.
    Amazed by how combining different strategies for self-discipline and self-improvement results in an easy way out from a pornography addiction, I decided that I should share his knowledge with a few of the friends I got close to, when attending the self-help seminars that were experiencing the same problems. As they’ve experienced the same quick and prompt results as me, I went on to become certified professional in the field of self-improvement.
    Becoming a personal life-guru and a pornography and masturbation addiction expert, I have helped thousands teenagers and young males, as well as adults, to overcome their psychological blockages and addictions and find the true path in their lives.
    However, as I want to be able to help as many as possible and my seminars and meetings are physically and time restricted, I decided to start writing books and share my profound knowledge with a worldwide audience.
    Even though I managed to overcome my pornography and masturbation addiction promptly, I am constantly looking for ways to better myself. Even though, no one can be perfect, I believe that if a person is able to use their self-discipline tactics, then the said person will be able to achieve anything in their life.

    prairieAbout Prairie Academy:

    It would seem incredible that a house fire in New York City could have ripples around the world. But stranger things have happened. This book launches the five-book Carlile Corners series set in middle America in the late 1800s, where one seventeen-year-old girl with an advantaged background has a sudden opportunity to show the stuff she’s made of… on the frontier of Oklahoma Territory.

    Josie Wheeler and her younger brother Josh are suddenly orphaned when their New York house goes up in flames. Having lived their whole lives in the city, they are suddenly forced to journey across the country to live with their nearest relatives in the just-settled Oklahoma Territory. Fighting snakes, wolf packs and other hazards of frontier living, Josie experiences and learns more than she ever would have thought.

    “Prairie Academy” describes a time on the American frontier where where life wasn’t to be taken for granted — and one’s family and community pulling together was the only means of survival.

    The “Carlile Corners” series stretches from Conestoga wagons and foot-sore travelers to the birth of the tin lizzie. It grows from the bow and arrow to a tail gunner in a stick and canvass flying machine. From jackrabbit stew and venison to chow lines in Europe, and from the spinning wheel to machine-woven wool worsted. In short, it was no life for the weak minded, so come along and check it out…

    Author Bio:
    When I was younger I never stopped writing until I was nine, when one of the girls in my class had enough of me being praised and tore up my newest story. After that I didn’t write until I was eleven and what came out scared me. I never expected myself to write about kidnappings and torture when I was that age. I didn’t write for along time because of that, apart from to get my emotions out. Thankfully I tore up everything I wrote over the next decade and a half. I was extremely depressed and working my way out of it so what came out was not good at all.
    As soon as I was out of it -in the sense that I could stop myself from falling very far when my brain did it’s evil work on me- I wanted to start to write again but didn’t know what to write until I read Noble rot by Holly Black, which is a beautiful short urban horror story. Once I figured out what I wanted to write I thought for a while, putting what would become choice together in my head and then I started to write it. A couple months in I stopped writing because I thought it wouldn’t go anywhere so what would be the point.
    Thankfully the story would not leave my head in peace until I eventually sat down and wrote it almost two years later. I sent it away to a publishers and after four days I had a reply from them saying that they wanted my book. It has now been over a year since I had the email back from them and I also have two more books out in different genres, yet I am still in shock that I am actually living the dream that I had thought was impossible and I don’t know when it will truly sink in. Until then I am going to continue to write and grow in a way I never would have thought I could.

    About Forevermore by Jim Musgrave

    For a limited time until July 31, 2014: $1.99

    First Place in the 2013 CLUE Book Awards for Mysteries, Suspense and Thrillers. Finalist in the Next Generation Indie Book Awards, 2014.

    What if Edgar Allan Poe did not die in Baltimore as a drunk in the gutter? What he were, instead, murdered?

    In post Civil War New York City, Detective Pat O’Malley is living inside Poe’s Cottage in the Bronx. O’Malley is haunted by Poe one night, and the detective finds a strange note. As a result, O’Malley decides to prove that Edgar Allan Poe did not die in Baltimore from an alcoholic binge but was, instead, murdered. O’Malley quickly becomes embroiled in a “cold case” that thrusts him into the lair of one of the most sinister and ruthless killers in 1865 New York City.

    Jim Musgrave’s “Forevermore” is a quick read in four acts that will keep your mind razor sharp trying to solve the mystery of Poe’s murder. Pat O’Malley must first find out how to become intimate with females before he can discover the final clue in this puzzle of wits, murder and romance.

    ˃˃˃ Mini-Mystery in the Manner of Poe
    “If any literary work is too long to be read at one sitting, we must be content to dispense with the immensely important effect derivable from unity of impression for, if two sittings be required, the affairs of the world interfere, and everything like totality is at once destroyed.” Edgar Allan Poe

    ˃˃˃ Kindle Book Review (Carol Piner)
    I adore Edgar Allan Poe and when I started “Forevermore” by Jim Musgrave I thought, “Oh no…another book about how bad Poe was.” Was I in for a marvelous shock! The author, Jim Musgrave, envisioned a young man who admired Poe, even lived in his cottage, and wished to find out what Poe died of, why and who was responsible for the death of the dark poet.

    Delving into Poe’s life just before he died, Patrick O’Malley began his quest into Poe’s death. The search for the truth led him to many famous writers such as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, who hated Poe. John Anderson, the owner of a tobacco shop, who violated a young woman who worked for him, is another. She was the famous “Mary” from one of Poe’s novels. O’Malley was told Anderson paid Poe to write the tale to avoid suspicion regarding her death. Oddly enough, John Anderson lived in Sleepy Hollow made famous by the tale of the “Headless Horseman”. Other famous names were sprinkled throughout this mystery. Literary references ran rampant and Musgrave was adept at making them fit into his tale.

    You will also be introduced to the low life. McKenzie, who became a protector, was head of the Plug Uglies. I’ll let you read the book to find out what that means. I also met a certain Madame who introduced O’Malley to heights he had never attained before. You will find Joshua Reynolds a person who could have been the subject of Poe’s worst visions.

    There is no generally accepted reason for Poe’s death. Some said alcohol, some dementia and others believed diabetes. We know he died in Baltimore in the gutter, dressed like a bum. Mr. Musgrave weaved a wonderful tale and came up with a perfectly believable reason for not only how Poe died, but also why he died like a bum. He was killed. If you want to know by whom, you will have to read the book.

    ˃˃˃ Portland Book Review
    Most historians uphold that literary legend Edgar Allan Poe died from complications to his crippling alcoholism. But private detective Pat O’Malley believes otherwise. He believes that Poe was actually a victim of murder. In Forevermore, O’Malley sets forth on a mission of danger and romance to uncover the truth behind the demise of his old friend and one of America’s most important authors.

    Adelaide-born David Chattaway has been writing since he was a teenager but only took his passion to the next level when he released his debut novella ‘Singing Sand’ in October 2013. Its sequel ‘Quietus’ quickly followed, released in February 2014 and not long after Chattaway re-released the books as one, complete volume – ‘The Singing Sand Story’.

    ‘Singing Sand’ received warm reviews – even making it into Amazon’s Top Ten thriller list.

    Soon to be released, Chattaway’s newest novella – ‘Blind Servitude’ – is a step above his first books, with hand-drawn custom illustrations by a local artist. The young adults book explores a boy’s search for inner strength in the face of adversity and manages to linger on the magical while pulling at the heartstrings.

    Although his already released works are being well-received, Chattaway views them as a warm-up of sorts to his masterpiece ‘Mal’akh’ which is set to be released later this year. The supernatural-fantasy opens the reader to a new world within our own and the endless battles and psychological warfare that ensues when good and evil collide amongst mankind.

    Chattaway resides in Adelaide.

    Traveling solo as a woman certainly has its ups and downs, but Melissa Burovac will be the first to tell you to embrace the adventure as you encounter it.

    Facing her fortieth birthday as a single woman in a job she was tired of, Burovac decided to do something. Always keen for adventure, she chose to buy a one-way ticket to Mexico—and quit her job, sell her beloved Jeep, and store all her belongings.

    Though she’d gone on trips abroad before, Burovac didn’t feel like she’d ever earned the title of “traveler.” But that was about to change.

    Wandering relates the adventures, and misadventures (she encounters so many major weather events that her friends start predicting where the next disaster will strike based on her next destination), of her nine months traveling through Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, Panama, Cuba, Australia, Cambodia, and Thailand.

    Her stories will crack you up—and they will inspire you. As someone with no sense of direction, no ability to plan, and plenty of social anxiety, her experiences prove that anyone who wants to travel can!

    Truelock Manor is a mansion on the coast of Cape Cod. Its history reflects that of many New England towns until Mercy Pruitt Truelock, the wife of Stephen Truelock, master of the manor, vanished in 1796. Three years later, Stephen also went missing, leaving their small son in the care of Stephen’s half-sister, Leah. Their disappearance is an unsolved mystery that has haunted Esther, a servant at Truelock Manor. One day, as Esther lays dying, she admits that she is responsible for the disappearances and wants to atone. She begs the mistress of Truelock Manor, Felicity, to writer her story in a book. Esther believes Mercy and Stephen will be found one day, and she wants them to know how sorry she is.

    A hundred years later, a nine-year-old girl named Mary Ellen Comstock, the great-great-great niece of Felicity Truelock, is given a diary. It contains Esther’s confession and the story of Mercy and Stephen Truelock. The girl is enchanted by the story. She believes Mercy and Stephen are stuck in purgatory and it is up to her, along with two friends, to set them free. Together, the three girls form a group they call the Daughters of the Evening Star. They meet in the woods to chant the same incantation that Mary Ellen believes sent Mercy and Stephen “away” into the future hoping it will break the spell that keeps them trapped in purgatory.

    Author Bio:
    When I was a teenager, I spent two summers in Cape Cod. My memories of those summers were the inspiration for this series. I stayed at a mansion and during the night, I heard noises that convinced me the ghost of the sea captain that built the house was roaming the halls looking for his lost love.

    I haven’t been back to Cape Cod. Now I live in Florida with my husband and two critters. I began my writing career three years ago and when I recalled that mansion on Cape Cod, the story of Mercy and Stephen Truelock was born. It is the second series I’ve written, and while it has a paranormal flavor, at its heart, it is a mystery waiting to be solved.

    I am working on a new mystery. They seem to fill my head unbidden, and I have to write them down. I like to keep my readers guessing with twists and turns and interesting characters. I hope you will enjoy my books.

    THE-QUESTINGAbout The Questing by Kathryn Le Veque:

    1298 A.D. – Lady Diamantha de Bocage Edlington lost her husband at the Battle of Falkirk. Grieving, she is unprepared for the visit of Sir Cortez de Bretagne, King Edward’s garrison commander at Sherborne Castle. Dark and fiery from his Spanish heritage, Cortez is a knight with sultry good looks and a quick temperament. He has also come on a mission.

    Cortez was the last man who saw Diamantha’s husband alive and promised the dying man he would take care of his wife. He has therefore come to claim her. Horrified, Diamantha struggles to come to terms with what de Bretagne is telling her, but in her heart, resentment and hatred stir: Robert Edlington’s corpse was left upon the fields of Falkirk and de Bretagne, as the last man to see him, is to blame.

    Therefore, before Diamantha will become de Bretagne’s wife, she makes a demand of him: return for Robert’s body and bring him home for a proper burial. And so, the great Questing to find Robert Edlington’s body begins….

    Join Diamantha and Cortez on their great journey from the fields of Dorset to the hallowed grounds of Falkirk, a journey during which they discover great and terrible things about the world, their country, and each other. From the ashes of grief rises a phoenix of great passion, and bonds are forged between Diamantha and Cortez that can never be broken.

    Case File #1 from the Files of Icarus Investigation

    Murphy and Galveston realize there must be more to life than their mind-numbing cubical jobs. Over a barbeque lunch, Galveston attempts to convince his friend to join him in a daring new career as a private investigator. With nothing to lose, Murphy reluctantly agrees. Relying heavily on their humorous wit and questionable tactics, the men employ a creative approach to their investigations. For a time these methods prove successful, until they push too far and find themselves mired in the case of a lifetime.

    An explosion rocks a New England university lab setting off a carefully orchestrated chain of events. A small device has been stolen, a key to the entire world’s energy problems, and the power that comes with controlling it. The fate of the device and its inventor lies with the newly self-proclaimed private detectives.

    The two men, under the threat of arrest by the FBI, begin to criss-cross the country and the world, picking up clues to the puzzle of the missing device in England, Mexico, and even Brazil. Dead ends seem at every turn, but with the help of an outcast computer expert, a British spy and former flame of Galveston’s, and a new employee whom Murphy can’t seem to keep his eyes off of, the investigators unwind the case using their unorthodox approach, berating each other at every turn.

    Who is looking to control this device and its destiny? Is it the huge multinational security firm, a devious billionaire, or a questionable member of Congress. Murphy and Galveston must find out why something so small is causing problems so large, because the hunters are quickly becoming the hunted.

    In an alternative universe Britain remains an island of mists, populated by Celtic tribes and governed by feudal hierarchy. Evolution has taken a different path and mythical beasts exist. Only noblemen’s sons are recruited into an elite troop known as the Griffin Riders. The best a nameless nobody like Neb can hope for is to become the equivalent of a stable lad.

    But then his fate becomes entwined with the mischievous grey griffin Balkind, who everyone knows is trouble…and sure enough, Balkind disgraces himself on recruitment day and is rejected by Griffin Master Romulus. However, Neb is determined to change Romulus’ mind. Telling himself and anyone who will listen that Balkind deserves a second chance, Neb steals the beast and flies off on the adventure of a lifetime.

    In his quest to re-unite the mischievous gryffant Balkind with the Griffin Master, Neb saves a Chieftain’s son’s life, encounters girls for the first time, and finds himself battling a demon for his very soul. He also discovers why baby griffins are known as cherubs, an alternative name for angels.

    “The Griffin’s Boy” is a young adult fantasy adventure, a coming of age complete with first romance. However, parental guidance is recommended for younger readers, as this story contains some scenes of mild peril, and one of deadly violence.

    Author Bio:
    I come from a long line of storytellers. I remember sitting on the living room floor while the adults told stories, my imagination running gamut over all the possibilities.

    But I didn’t have the same fascination with the written word; in fact, English was my worst subject in school. I wasn’t able to understand grammar and all the rules and exceptions, let alone understand all the spelling rules and exceptions.

    However I loved reading, even though my mind would add words to the pages or miss important words in paragraphs. As an adult working with my children’s homeschooling, I had to deal with their different learning styles. I accidently discovered the main issues I have with “English” are dyslexia. This is self-diagnosed, but it answered many questions I had about learning and why I simply wasn’t able to wrap my mind around grammar and spelling. Coming to the understanding that I really was trying my hardest to do the simple things, the same things others like my mom excelled at, opened my mind to the possibility I was not stupid or lazy.

    That was how our team worked, Mom was the nuts and bolts and I did the research and out of the box thinking. I have a lot to be grateful for in my writing career. My mother was my rock, and was able to take what I wrote and make it into what I meant. During the last year of her illness she spoke with our friends and family urging them to support me when I was able to pick up the pieces and start writing again.

    Apparently my children took her pleas to heart. They kept telling me to keep writing, they believe I still have stories to tell. Mom also contacted our mentor, JoEllen Conger, and asked her to be my editor and whip cracker if needed. She kept her promise to my mom and has helped me fulfill the dream mom and I had of getting our first manuscript usable.

    I have faith that all that has happened was meant to be. I fully believe in a reason, a season or a lifetime. I am grateful for all the support I have from my family and friends and every word I write means success.

    25,000 years ago: today’s Southern France: When a young girl returns to her home in present day Germany she finds her family and clan killed. Greatly out numbered she must flee for her life from the killers who came from the east. She takes to her small boat escaping on the river. With nowhere safe to go she rides the river’s current taking the river into the unknown. She had never felt so alone.

    She remembers a story her tribe’s shaman told around the campfire many times. A story of a young shaman long ago, who had stayed with her clan for a short time, when he was on his sacred spirit journey. The story said he was from a great clan of many people far to the west and south. A clan to the west he called The Lion Tribe.

    It was her only hope and she sets out overland on her solitary journey. It would be a journey of nearly two moons across a hostile and dangerous landscape filled with predators like saber cats, lions, and hyenas. And other humans to be wary of.

    Workout routines for women, quick and easy guide to firm bums, tums arms and more

    I know that many of my readers are female so I decided to help out you guys a bit further and get more specific and outline some great workout routines for women.

    In this book we will look at the unique problems that a lot of you gals will face when it comes to weight loss, fitness and aesthetics that are different from us males. Things like:

    How to get rid of cellulite, Cellulite and fat distribution

    Fitness and the menopause

    weight lifting for women

    Also included is a short but effective illustrated home workout, that you can do to target the usual problem areas.

    A different genetic makeup means a different set of challenges!

    Fitness is not just limited to your youth and I believe that there is not an age restriction when it comes to a starting point.

    It is in my opinion harder for females to get the physique and proportions when it comes to body shape than males. This is all down to the genetic makeup. Some ladies are gifted with a great shape and are confident with their body. It does seem however that this is not the majority of the female population.

    This book has been written to help you target the problem areas that you believe you have and I think that you will be surprised at how working towards your goals, before you have seen any results at all will give you a huge confidence boost with my fitness plan for women

    I hope this book helps you on your journey to a healthier, fitter and happier you.
    Good luck and enjoy your training!

    I’m a long-time paper crafter who finally had the guts to take my passion online in 2007. Since then, long sessions spent with tiny little scissors and lots of card stock has resulted in more cupcake toppers and invitation artwork than I knew what to do with. So now I’ve moved the whole kit-and-kaboodle to Amazon, to share it with a whole new audience.

    Once I did that, I started to branch out and now I’ve become a children’s book author too.

    I hope you enjoy my books!

    Ben was perfect.
    His girlfriend Rachel was perfect.
    His apartment was perfect.
    In fact, everything in the world around him was perfect – thanks to the omnipresence of the beneficent Guardians.

    So, why was it that Ben felt that he just wasn’t part of the world he inhabited? Why did the idea of ‘imperfect’ seem so attractive to him?
    Could he change things so that at least a little imperfection existed in the impeccably managed society around him?
    To find out what less-than-perfection meant, he’d need to match his wits against the titanic intellects of the Guardians and hope to win. It was a challenge he was determined to take on against all the odds.
    Of course, even if Ben managed to achieve imperfection, would it yield the result he hoped for?

  52. The EDGE Of Honor (Part ONE) -

    EOH-5x8-300dpi-Part-ONE-SMALL-sizedAbout The EDGE Of Honor (Part ONE):

    With hard-charging, full-blooded characters that leap off the page, terrific writing and a plot that moves at a breathless pace, THE EDGE OF HONOR proves that K.T. Bryan is right up there with the best romantic thriller authors writing today—names like Allison Brennan, J.T. Ellison and C.J. Lyons. ~~ Michael W. Sherer, Thriller Award-nominated author of Night Drop

    When a forensic psychologist warns the city of San Diego about a modern day Jack the Ripper on live TV, she becomes the killer’s next target and must work with her black ops fiancé to catch the Savior before it’s too late.

    When honor becomes disgrace…

    When two boys form an alliance in 1958 Brooklyn, neither realizes that sworn friends will later become bitter enemies. John Edge and Vince DeMeneo live by a code. When that code is broken, it will cost them their children, because inevitably what goes around, does at some point, come around.

    Their honor has created a monster.

    A brilliant madman is watching….

    A serial killer the media has dubbed the “Savior” is terrorizing San Diego. He is a chameleon, a computer hacker who can create and delete his identity at will. He blazes through firewalls, strolls through doors that are closed to millions, and dreams about saving the world against sin. He’s a wizard, a god, a ruthless killer.

    What started as a friendship has become something more…

    When Jessica Bentley’s horrific past rises from the shadows and threatens her life, Jake Kincaid must find the Savior before the Savior finds Jessi.

    Wanted for murder, Jake is the Navy SEAL whose choices could lock him away.

    Jessi must face her worst fear or face certain death.

    How far will a man go to save the woman he loves? The answer is simple–all the way over the edge.

    DISCLAIMER–PLEASE READ: This is SERIAL, not a book, novella, or short story. Each section will be approximately 10,000 words, some more, some less. This serial should be read in the correct order. I am planning on releasing each new section 3-5 weeks apart, This is a Romantic Thriller that contains adult language and violence.

    Meet Walter Ownbey… the biggest prick you’ll ever like. Welcome to the world of Walt Ownbey, a thirty-something recluse who lives in the New Hampshire outback. He lives in a tree house. He drives a vehicle that runs on vegetable oil. He has an Ivy League education. He is articulate and decent looking. And he has all of the social grace of a bull in a china shop. In a politically correct 21st century world, Walt doesn’t discriminate–he hates everybody equally! The ultimate pest, he hates conservatives and liberals, CEO’s and unions, bankers and treehuggers. He lives for ruining public events, whether it’s a beauty pageant, a Star Wars convention, an anglers’ tournament, a gay pride parade, or a bratwurst eating contest. Along the way he manages to meet the quirkiest of characters, such as Crisco, the homeless army veteran, Sheila, his attorney’s gorgeous admin assistant, militant war re-enactors, a hapless bank robber, and a priceless Jesus imposter. After he is condemned to community service, he is assigned to a troubled and rebellious teen, Cesar, who is essentially a younger version of Walt and somebody he decides to take under his wing. Torn between New England and his father’s adopted home of Florida, Walt soon must make a decision in which direction he wishes his life to head… or whether he wishes to live at all in the end. A Hermit’s Howl uses the darkest of humor to depict an outsider who refuses to come to terms with the country he once idolized… but will keep trying.

Used for blood sport their lives are allowed to continue only for the entertainment of the masses. Reviled as savages, they are destined to serve out their immortal lives in the arena, as gladiators.

  59. Catherine Howard: Henry’s Fifth Failure by D. Lawrence-Young -

    CH_E-bookAbout Catherine Howard: Henry’s Fifth Failure by D. Lawrence-Young:

    This historical novel has it all: sex and romance, violence and war, infidelity and intrigue.

    Catherine Howard, the Duke of Norfolk’s niece, is raised in the very free atmosphere of her grandmother’s palace. Here she becomes aware of her own sexuality and the exciting effect she has on the men at court around her. She is also an unknowing part of her uncle’s devious plan to obtain more influence with the king – he pushes her onto the newly-divorced and lovesick King Henry VIII who is looking for a fifth wife.

    Meanwhile, John Butcher has become a guard in the dreaded Tower of London. He guards the king, witnesses the executions of Anne Boleyn and Thomas More and takes part in the fighting in Ireland. However, when he returns to London, his meeting with Catherine Howard, the king’s fifth queen, produces unexpected and dramatic results.

    In D. Lawrence-Young’s second Tudor novel we learn how Catherine Howard’s passionate nature mixed with the murky, deadly politics of the Tudor court and a furious king produce a classic story of passionate love, disappointment and revenge on a royal scale.

    A .38, a nip of gin and sensational legs get Depression-era private eye Maggie Sullivan out of most scrapes – until a stranger threatens to bust her nose, she’s hauled in on suspicion of his murder and she finds herself in the cross-hairs of a crime boss with connections at City Hall.

    Moving through streets where people line up at soup kitchens, Maggie draws information from sources others overlook: The waitress at the dime store lunch counter where she has breakfast; a ragged newsboy; the other career girls at her rooming house.

    Her digging gets her chloroformed and left in a ditch behind the wheel of her DeSoto. She makes her way to an upscale bordello and gets tea – and information – from the madam herself.

    A gunman puts a bullet through Maggie’s hat. Her shutterbug pal on the evening paper warns her off. A new cop whose presence unsettles her thinks she’s crooked. Before she finds all the answers she needs, she faces a half-crazed man with a gun, and a far more lethal point-blank killer.
