About The World Without Crows

In 1990, the world ended. A disease turned people into walking shells of themselves. Zombies. Most of them were harmless, but some were broken by the pressure of the disease. The cracked became ravenous killers whose bite infected.

To escape the apocalypse, Eric, a young, overweight boy of 16, sets off on a journey across the United States. His plan is to hike from Ohio to an island in Maine, far from the ruins of cities, where the lake and the fierce winters will protect him from both Zombies and the gangs that roam the country.

Along the way, Eric finds friends and enemies, hope and despair, love and hatred. The World Without Crows is the story of what he must become to survive. For him and the people he would come to love, the end is only the beginning.

About And Then He Kissed Me by Melinda Curtis

The chocolate wars…

Botanist Dr. Aubrey Summer has two goals for her trip to Ecuador – fulfill her bridesmaid duties and confront billionaire Marcos Alfaro about his efforts to steal her work. The wedding is being held at a hotel owned by Marcos and he’s rumored to be a guest. But along the way, Aubrey is distracted by a handsome man named Nino, a former employee with a crush, and Grandma Dotty, who’s got romance on her bucket list.

More at stake…

Marcos “Nino” Alfaro didn’t accumulate his wealth playing by the rules. Yes, he hired Dr. Summer’s assistant, but the principled young man won’t divulge the secrets to growing a richer strain of cocoa. When Nino meets Dr. Summer, it’s clear what he needs to do – use romance to learn more about her research. After all, he’s got to turn around the chocolate company he just purchased. There are millions at stake, not to mention his pride and – surprisingly – his heart.

Can he pass The Kissing Test?

Prior to writing romance, award-winning, USA Today Bestseller Melinda Curtis was a junior manager for a Fortune 500 company, which meant when she flew on the private jet she was relegated to the jump seat—otherwise known as the potty. After grabbing her pen (and a parachute) she made the jump to full-time writer. A hybrid author, Melinda has over 60 titles published or sold, including 40 works to Harlequin and five to Grand Central Forever, mostly sweet romance and sweet romantic comedy. One of her books – Dandelion Wishes – is a soon to be released TV movie. She recently came to grips with the fact that she’s an empty nester and a grandma, concepts easier to grasp than movies made from her books or jet-setting on a potty.

War of the Staffs (Book One) by Steve Stephenson

War of the staffs takes place on a world called Muiria, where a powerful vampire wizard named Taza is brought through the void, space between the planets, by a vengeful goddess named Adois.
Taza slowly convinces the Illanni, a race of dark elves, to take on the cloak of vampirism.
Nearly two thousand years pass before the scheming wizard makes his move. But his careful planning is jeopardized when Prince Tarquin is born to fulfill a prophecy and confront the evilest creature Muiria has ever known. The Prince, however, cannot succeed alone, and when Morganna, an Illanni noble woman, threatens Taza’s plans by starting an underground movement against him, she strikes her severest blow when she saves Tarquin’s life.
He is also championed by the wizard Celedant, and the young man is sent to the dwarvan army to learn combat skills. Then the wizard begins his search for the Staff of Adaman – the only object capable of defeating Taza.
Tarquin and Celedant’s epic journey spans the continent where they face not only a vampire wizard, but orcs, demons, liches and other monstrosities. War of the Staffs begins the search for the first of two pieces of ancient staff as Taza’s assassins hunt the Prince to thwart the prophecy. Tarquin, however, is not the only target. Celedant must confront not only assassins, but powerful and dangerous creatures that Taza brings through the void to destroy the wizard as well as the growing resistance among the dwarves and Wood Elves.
By the end of the epic tail Celedant collects a piece of the Staff of Adaman, while Tarquin transforms from teenage boy to a commanding officer.

About Halo Of Ashes by Gavin Ashside

Centuries after the Old World has crumbled, an immortal king’s perennial quest to annihilate an ancient superhuman brotherhood is given fresh life when the existence of a new member is discovered. An elite force of soldiers is dispatched to the city of Magran, crown jewel of the Western Lands, on a mission to conquer them and capture him.

In this new world of drudgery and hardship, morals and decency have taken a backseat to wanton greed and violence. Amidst the decline of humanity after the cataclysmic event which destroyed the world, a prophet had emerged to lead the people back into faith. A century after his disappearance, few pockets of civilization continue to follow his teachings and the uneasy peace is only ever just shy of descending into chaos.

A youngster with troubling occultist gifts who fights to gain control over them.
A fiercely spirited but disreputable young woman who struggles with independence in a world controlled by men.
A kindly healer with guarded secrets who attempts to manipulate love into his coldly logical existence.
A stoic lawman, in over his head, who is saddled with the task of uniting a country.

They must each step up to face the seemingly insurmountable threat confronting their domain. The lost prophet’s words must be spoken again:
“There is no wall so strong that it cannot be broken by will. There is no enemy that cannot be vanquished by faith. There is no victory without struggle.”

Fledgling friendships are forged into bonds of steel and unlikely heroes are born from the fires of war as the Western Lands unite in arms against an empire built on tyranny and fear.
