Dark Clouds by Phil Rowan @WriterRowan

Dark Clouds

Dark Clouds centres on al-Qaeda terrorists who hope to cause nuclear mayhem in London. The main character, Flynn, enjoys a drink and is empathetic with friendly females ... but is he really up for tackling dangerous Islamic jihadists – people that see Westerners as misguided infidels who need to experience the purifying wrath of Allah?

The bad guys want to irradiate 'decadent' Brits, who are perceived as enemies of Allah. It is scary, but a US/UK Security Service team believe that Rudi Flynn can help them avert disaster. His Muslim American girlfriend, Faria, fell with the North Tower in New York on 9/11 and he is now working as a journalist in London. He is trying to forget what happened in Manhattan on that fateful Tuesday, but he still has some Islamic contacts. One of whom, Rashid, is in the loop with jihadists and wants to cross over.

Flynn is wary about going undercover, but an oil rich Syrian he knows is suspected of funding the bad guys. On the up side, he has just met Ingrid – an artist who invites him to join her on a Greek island where he can write about a fiery Fenian ancestor. This won’t happen, however, unless he delivers for Carla Hirsch: his ice cold and very focused US Homeland Security controller.

Black Flagged by Steven Konkoly @stevenkonkoly

Black Flagged

Book One of the Black Flagged series.

A graduate of the Department of Defense's experimental Black Flag program, Daniel Petrovich carries secrets he'd rather keep buried. Secrets his government has hidden in the deepest vaults of the Pentagon. Unfortunately for Daniel, someone is trying to raise Black Flag from the dead and bring Daniel back with it. Someone who knows all of his darkest secrets.

In exchange for the promise of a clean slate and a chance to keep the life he has built with the woman he loves, he agrees to carry out one final mission.

Daniel's life is about to disintegrate, as he becomes the focus of a relentless FBI manhunt and the target of a vengeful CIA agent. To survive, he'll be forced to release a dark side he fought for years to keep suppressed. A dark side with few boundaries, and even fewer loyalties.

The Jakarta Pandemic by Steven Konkoly @stevenkonkoly

The Jakarta Pandemic


In the late fall of 2013, a lethal pandemic virus emerges from Indonesia and rages unchecked across every continent. When the Jakarta Flu threatens his picture perfect Maine neighborhood, Alex Fletcher, Iraq War veteran, is ready to do whatever it takes to keep his family safe.

With his family and home prepared for an extended period of seclusion, Alex has few real concerns about the growing pandemic. But as the deadliest pandemic in human history ravages northern New England and starts to unravel the fabric of their Maine neighborhood, he starts to realize that the flu itself is the least of his problems.

A mounting scarcity of food and critical supplies turns most of the neighbors against him, and Alex is forced to confront their unexpected hostility before it goes too far. Just when he thinks it can’t get any worse, the very face of human evil arrives on Durham Rd. and threatens to plunge them all into a personal nightmare. Alex and his few remaining friends will band together to protect their families from a threat far deadlier than the flu, as they edge closer to the inevitable confrontation that will test the limits of their humanity.

5 Things You Need Say in Your Book Trailer

I've seen a few book trailers since starting this blog. Surprisingly not many on this blog. I've seen them just about everywhere else: Youtube, Goodreads, author websites, trailer websites. There is a huge curve as far quality. I've found some trailers that are extremely well produced and others not so much. But even the videos of the lowest quality got the job done. They told me what I wanted to know.

1) Who wrote it.
2) What's it about. (genre, synopsis)
3) Where can I buy it.
4) Why should I care. (what are other people saying about it)
5) How can I find out more. (websites)

The trailer doesn't have to cost thousands of dollars and made by a film school graduate. It helps, but it doesn't have to be. Just take care in producing it. Please let it look like you care and you spent some time doing it. It you can make a PPt presentation, I would say you are half way there. Yes, it's a different kind of software but the general idea is the same. I would recommend using your book cover as a template for the whole production. You really want readers to associate that video with your book. 

I put this one together as a case in point. I have some experience, so it wasn't that hard for me. But it gives you the general idea of what I'm trying to say. Just jump in there and go for it and if you can't do it yourself, then find someone who can. There are companies that specialize in book trailers and there are websites that will help you build one from scratch.

The best part is the software you need is probably already on your computer and the Internet is filled with free media to help build your book trailer. Just check to be sure it is royalty free or is a creative commons attribution share alike license to be safe.

I hope you dig in there and go for it. If you already have a trailer, please post a link to it in the comments. If you need some help, contact me at thedigitalinkspot {at} gmail {dot} com.

Orange Petals in a Storm by Niamh Clune ‏ @NiamhClune

Orange Petals in a Storm (Skyla McFee Series)

Orange Petals in a Storm: A spiritual, inspirational story to feed the soul. In Skyla's world, we find shelter from every hazard and outlive the longest night.

A bedraggled and bruised eleven-year-old child races through the rain-drenched streets of East London as though the hounds of hell were after her. She tries to reach the home of her childhood, a home that was hers until her mother’s recent death. What becomes of Skyla McFee once she arrives there? From whom does she run?

This is a story about a wonderful child who endures great suffering at the hands of her stepfather. Though she lives in a harsh reality, she evolves spiritually despite, or perhaps because of the hurt she suffers. The magical way she transcends her unbearable life through her inner world transports us into the hauntingly beautiful world of the imagination. Telling you that Skyla triumphs over her situation is not a spoiler – because as you get to know her, you realise there is no other way. She must triumph because of who she is.

Fathoms of Forgiveness by Nadia Scrieva @NadiaScrieva

Fathoms of Forgiveness (Sacred Breath, #2)

There is no divorce in the undersea kingdom of Adlivun. Marriage is a bond that lasts until death—even if death comes in several centuries, and in that time your spouse happens to become your sworn enemy. This is the conflict that General Visola Ramaris faces when she learns that the mighty Vachlan is behind the attacks on her kingdom. She has sworn to protect Adlivun with her life, but long ago, she also swore to love and honor her husband...
Visola must choose whether she will destroy Vachlan once and for all, or attempt the hardest thing conceivable: communication. After two hundred years of desertion, she has no faith in their feeble bond and knows she can never forgive him. When he threatens the person dearest to her, she must take action. Confronting Vachlan on enemy territory would be nothing short of suicide. She knows that if she falls into his custody, the deranged man would relish breaking her down and making her lose her sanity.
Princess Aazuria forbids Visola from taking matters into her own hands; she will do anything it takes to protect her friend from the man who wants to crush her. Alas, Visola is a crazy, uncontrollable warrior woman with the blood of Vikings in her veins. Why would she ever consider doing the safe and predictable thing?

My Temporary Life by Martin Crosbie @Martinthewriter

My Temporary Life

Heroes are not born. They're made.  Malcolm Wilson's strength was forged during harsh childhood days--ugly days when he faced down schoolyard bullies and endured the neglect of a promiscuous mother. It is a strength that he has wielded to defend himself and his friends.  Yet those years and traumas have taken their toll. Somewhere along the way, Malcolm Wilson lost his love of life.  That changes the day when beautiful, tempestuous Heather enters his world. He feels the stirrings of something long dormant. And when he learns of Heather's own abusive childhood--and the daughter that she was forced to leave behind--Malcolm knows one thing:  He must help Heather get her little girl back.  Their harrowing quest takes them from Scotland to a remote corner of Canada. There, Malcolm faces more than he bargained for--from being accused of kidnapping, to being targeted by an enraged psycho. And he discovers that Heather's story is more tragic than he could ever have imagined.  Yet his love for this woman with the flaming red hair--and for a little girl he has yet to meet--gives Malcolm Stewart the one thing he desperately needs: A chance to be reborn.  A chance to become the hero he never dreamed he could be.

Wanted: Dead or Undead by Angela Scott ‏@whimsywriting

Wanted: Dead or Undead

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.

Forbidden Mind (Forbidden #1) by Kimberly Kinrade ‏@KimberlyKinrade

Forbidden Mind (Forbidden #1)
 **Winner of 2011 Forward National Literature Award**

Sam thinks she's months away from freedom. After spending her life in a secret school, rented out to the rich and powerful as a paranormal spy, she is ready to head to college like any normal eighteen-year-old.

Only Sam isn't normal. She reads minds. And just before her big going-away party, she links to the mind of a young man who changes everything.

Drake wasn't raised as a 'Rent-A-Kid.' He was kidnapped and taken there by force. But his exceptional physical strength and powers of mind control make him very dangerous, especially to Sam.

When they meet, Sam is forced to face the truth of her situation, and to acknowledge that not all is as it seems in her picture-perfect world. For what awaits her on her eighteenth birthday isn't a trip to college, but an unexpected nightmare from which she may not be able to escape.

To survive, they must work together.

But will their powers be enough to save them before it's too late?

Overrun: Project Hideaway by Michael Rusch ‏ @ReadOverrun

Overrun: Project Hideaway

The Overrun story continues…

A week following the declaration of war, the U.S. is close to defeat. A failed genocide attempt becomes known to the public and the President must answer to the world for his administration’s sins.

An element still exists that could bring victory to the battered U.S. forces and ease the tensions of a quickly dividing country. On the ship Hideaway, technology to create an artificial ozone floats secretly hidden away in space untouched by the conflict being waged on Earth.

The President launches a covert retrieval mission led by one of his top most-involved generals in the war. The J.G.U as well as separate mercenary forces race to do the same. The quest to obtain the prized technology becomes a final battle for victory in the war as well as an ultimate determination of survival of the planet.

Aboard the Hideaway, a two-man crew is inexplicably awakened from a fifty-year hypersleep without communication from those that launched their mission well before the onset of war. With unidentified ships approaching in the distance, they prepare to forcibly defend their cargo not knowing their actions will decide the fate of the world they float above.

Purely Decorative by Angelina Cabo @purelyangelina

Purely Decorative

What if your Prince Charming turns out to be the Prince of Darkness?

It's the Eighties. Everyone in London's guzzling champagne by the bucketload, snorting mountains of coke and shagging like there's no tomorrow. But for twenty-something Zoe Burns, the party's over... even though she daren't admit it. The bills are piling up, the hangovers are getting worse and the one night stands no longer do it for her.

So when she's offered a gig as an escort to a South American millionaire while he's on "business" in Barcelona, she thinks, "what the hell?"...

But life with Raoul is not all champagne and roses. Raoul's an unreconstructed chauvinist, a macho bully, and a voyeur. But none of these things are the problem.

The problem is, Zoe should run a mile. But she can't. Mesmerised by the seductive Raoul and the high life he's introduced her to, she finds herself falling for him.

By the time Zoe discovers the true nature of Raoul's "business", it's all too late. Little by little, Zoe is drawn into an underworld of
crime, drugs and sexual obsession, a world where the most dangerous addiction of all may be to love itself.

Trans-Human by David Simpson @PostHuman09

Trans-Human (Post-Human Sequel)

In this sequel to Post-Human, humanity will be forced to face a future more advanced than it could have imagined if it wants to survive. Nineteen months have passed since the AI turned against humanity and was subsequently destroyed. In the meantime, James Keats has turned over the AI's powers to a non-intelligent, easily controlled operating system. He and Thel have left the planet and spent six months vacationing on Venus, which has been newly terraformed without the consent or knowledge of the Governing Council. The AI has been deleted, but the message it sent out into the abyss of space in search of a companion has been answered. An alien force dwarfing the Earth is on its way to find out why the AI has stopped communicating. Keats and company can only assume its intentions will be hostile when it finds out the truth. Only one thing is for sure: nothing will ever be the same again. Welcome to the Trans-Human era. Welcome to the singularity.

Review - The Tree of Everlasting Knowledge by Christine Nolfi @christinenolfi

The Tree of Everlasting Knowledge
by Christine Nolfi

The author has this synopsis to offer:

A savage rape on hallowed ground. Secrets buried for decades by the town’s most influential family.

Now Ourania D’Andre will learn the Great Oak’s secrets as construction begins at the Fagan mansion. She can’t afford to turn down a job that promises to stir up the long-buried guilt—and the passion—she shares with powerful Troy Fagan.

She’s already juggling the most important job of her career with her new responsibilities as a foster mother for young Walt and Emma Korchek. And there’s a hard, older man on the construction crew with eyes void of emotion—cold and killing. The secrets of his brutal past will pose a grave threat to the children in her care. Will she find the courage to face him?
 Everything told in this book stems from the "Great Oak". I was curious about what that could be and Nolfi delivers. This novels is an intricate web of back story that only supports and broadens the entire main story and sub plots. I love it when an author takes the time to create a story where every detail is important and every branch of sub plot is allowed to take its own course and naturally finds its way back to the main story. Nolfi beautifully pulling it all together.

This is what great story telling is all about. I loved the characters and their stories and how they are all intertwined for the benefit of the reader. The main characters of Ourania and Troy have a love/hate relationship that pushed the story forward. In a comical and heart breaking way. Their regret and anger for each other pushed them apart but not for long, circumstances bring them together again and they must decided how their relationship will continue.

The core story line is a quest to find the truth, to find the knowledge about the past. They swear to one another that knowledge and truth are what they value. But when they are faced with the option to either be open or not,  they find out that some decisions aren't so easy.

I really liked the book. The climatic chase and rescue was done well. It is well crafted story. The mystery of the "Great Oak" is incrementally revealed until you are allowed to see the whole picture. I had an idea in my own head what the truth was and I was pleasantly surprised by the ending. Nolfi is a wonderful storyteller.

Leiyatel's Embrace by Clive S. Johnson @Clive_SJohnson

Leiyatel's Embrace

A finely wrought and exquisitely detailed Speculative Fiction Mystery set at the end of a castle kingdom's epoch long history. The arrival of a strange army at the gates marks the end of an era and the unravelling of a mystery. At its heart is Leiyatel – the Living Green Stone Tree - long the preserver of the realm of Dica. What is to be her fate and those who depend upon her?

A highly original and intricately imagined world, the ancient castle kingdom of Dica has slowly declined to a somnolent shadow of its illustrious past but changes are in the wind, heralded by the sudden arrival of a mysterious army.

A complex tale unfolds as Lord Nephril, Dica’s Master of Ceremonies, and his oddly assorted companions strive to uncover not only who is then arrayed at their gates, but how their realm might be restored. What comes to light is a multi-layered fabric of interwoven interests and conflicts, an absorbing rebirth of ancient myth and legend, as alive and immediate now as in its dim and distant past.

At its heart is Leiyatel – the Living Green Stone Tree – preserver of the realm’s fortune and wondrous creation of the ancient Engers of Bazarral. What is to be her own fortune, though, and in whose hands will it finally rest? How will the disparate interests of Dican royalty, of Galgaverre’s Guardian, of the ancient Bazarran Stewards and of Leiyatel herself play out within Nature’s own domain?

The story culminates in a fascinating climax and deeply satisfying conclusion that will particularly appeal to those who like a rich and involving read.

Readers who enjoy this story may like to know that the author’s next work is coming soon. ‘Of Weft and Weave’ is equally original, set in the same world and, strangely enough, at the same time and with most of the same characters.

THE GREATEST short STORY [ies] [I've] EVER TOLD by Jay Squires @jay_squires

THE GREATEST short STORY [ies] [I've] EVER TOLD

DARK REFLECTIONS: Lena loves Robin in that special way a mother loves her child. Only, Robin is her husband! Lena also has feelings for Maretta, who happens to be Robins's sister and the matchmaker who brought them together. Maretta seems to feel the same. But how could anything come of it ... at least while Robin's dying?

WHAT A HUNDRED'LL Do: Are these the rants, ramblings and actions of a demented man? Or are they the net result of love carrying him as far as it can go?

KEEPING SCORE: Competition means nothing unless a score is kept -- even when the competitors are 100-plus years-old! On this field the battle can be brutal. Ask 114 year-old Graham Murdoch, listed as the oldest person in the U.S. (but only 3rd on the world-scale)! Or ask his ruthless opponent, in the other corner (so to speak!) at 113, Foster Carmichael. Foster Carmichael craves to be number one. Need more be said?

BENT: Is Johnny Dead or Alive? He was sure he knew once. Or is Johnny merely dreaming he is dead or alive? There have been some bizarre cognitive encounters. He may have been part of them. Perhaps his shrink knows. Unless he is a shard from his shrink's shattered delusions. Why aren't things as simple as when he was a child? At times he remembers his childhood.

Willow Pond by Carol Tibaldi @cat5149

Willow Pond


The Roaring Twenties crumble into the Great Depression, but Virginia Kingsley, New York's toughest and most successful speakeasy owner, is doing just fine. Now that the world is falling apart, bootlegging is a flourishing business, and she's queen of that castle.

Then her infant nephew is kidnapped. Her niece, Laura, and Laura's philandering movie star husband, are devastated. The police have few leads, and speculation and rumors abound in the media circus that follows the celebrity abduction.

Only one reporter, Erich Muller, seems to care enough about the child's welfare and the parents' feelings to report the case responsibly. Over the course of the investigation, Erich Muller and Laura fall in love, but their relationship is doomed to failure since he suspects her beloved aunt Virginia is behind the kidnapping. Laura, jaded when it comes to men, sides with Virginia.
But Virginia has figured out the truth, and she can't tell anyone for fear of losing her niece's affections and having the police ransack her life. So she pursues her own investigation, shaking down, threatening, and killing one petty crook after another during her search.

Little Todd's absence shapes everyone's lives. When he is finally found, the discovery will bring disaster for some and revelation for others.

Review - No One Can Do Anything Worse To You Than You Can by Sam Pink

No One Can Do Anything Worse to You Than You Can

The author offer this synopsis:

Why is it that we're always afraid of our ankles getting grabbed by a hand coming out of the gutter? And why will our lives be completely fulfilled when we look down one day and notice we're wearing underwear made out of a brown paper bag?
Thankfully, you don't have to think about any of that because in his second collection of poetry, Sam Pink has done the work for you.
You will see a crowd of people in your head and the crowd will point at you and say, "Ewww." You will hang yourself from the ceiling with a hook though your bottom jaw. You will feel at home eating your own heart off a commemorative plate featuring a picture of your corpse.
You won't learn anything except that, "No one can do anything to you that's worse than what you're already thought to yourself. No one can do anything worse to you than the things you've already done. No one can do anything worse to you than you can."


This is a collection of four long poems: The Midwest, You Hear Ambulance Sounds and Think They Are For You, Human Beings Are Toys and A Shield Made of Napkins.

I see them as incredible pieces of literature or a turned out bag of mess. For me it's really hard to distinguish. There are some moments in the four pieces I can ease back and emphatically pump my fist in agreement and congratulations of Sam Pink's genius. Then there are moments where I wonder if I had just happened upon a public release of Pink's bizarre and wickedly filthy stream of consciousness. Some of this stuff is out there, man. It's as if Pink has forsaken his quest to convey any meaning or structure. I am assuming that is Pink's goal in the first place. He might be laughing at us all for praising him for his works and all along he knows it is a pile of sick.

But that alone is what attracts me to the bizarro literary world where Sam Pink is a resident. It challenges the rules of society and its norms, morals and even its prejudices. It's an interesting and challenging book of poetry.

In The Shadow of Death by Jeremy Bowen‏ @JeremyPBowen

In The Shadow of Death (Shadow Series)

"He sat on the cliff edge and watched the water smash against the rocks many metres below. It was alive; the sea, continuously pounding like a life giving heart, breaking into huge plumes of spray which erupted between the rocks. Each beat threw up a light mist to dance with the sunbeams and create, in one glorious place, a faint rainbow.

As he sat, he wept. He did not weep for lost love. Nor did he weep for the toils and pains of the life which showed in the creases of his leathered face. Nor indeed did he weep for his loneliness, as intense as it was, or for absent family or friends, or those missing smiles and comforts that loved ones brought. He did not weep for any of those things."

A man with nothing. In a place that is not his own. Thrown into a world of violence and death, desperate to clear the shadows from his memories and remember who he is. Then comes a stranger, but she is not like the others. She promises him the truth, and as the shocking secrets of his past start to unwind he returns to where it all began, a place where he played God. Here, the full horror of what he did is revealed.

This is the first book in the Shadow series.

A great value read at over 100,000 words. Please follow the author on Twitter, he loves to interact and will always reply. @JeremyPBowen

Monster Vice by George P Saunders @gpsaunders30

Monster Vice

The time is tomorrow. A meteor storm has allowed monsters of every order to run free across the planet. Vampires, werewolves, ghosts, demons and other atrocities are the new bad guys on the block. To contend with this prevalent threat, various law enforcement agencies have created special divisions to deal with the monster epidemic. LAPD has created Monster Vice, and its senior cop is Dick Pitts -- a specialist in monster extermination. On a daily basis, Pitts stakes vampires, executes werewolves, and exorcises demons. When his partner is killed, he is assigned a new partner named Curadel -- who is in fact Dracula -- a greatly misunderstood Dracula through the ages and a Dracula who has become a cop to help humanity deal with the vampire plague. Now, Pitts and Dracula must team up and fight a Grand Master - the most powerful vampire in the world - who is hell bent on transforming every child in Los Angeles into a bloodsucking killing machine. Pitts and Dracula create a special platoon of 'fang warriors' -- their mission: to find the Grand Master and shut down his evil plans before the streets of LA are flooded in a sea of blood.

Fatal Exchange by Russell Blake ‏@BlakeBooks

Fatal Exchange

Fatal Exchange chronicles the story of Tess Gideon, a female Manhattan bike messenger with an appetite for the wild side, who becomes embroiled in a rogue nation's Byzantine scheme to destabilize the U.S. financial system.

From the sweltering streets of Seoul to the sex-and-drug-driven underbelly of Greenwich Village, attempts at silencing a leak in an international counterfeiting operation leave a trail of butchery that leads inevitably to Wall Street, pitting a counter-culture heroine against a ruthless state-sponsored assassination team that will stop at nothing to achieve its lethal ends.

As the body count climbs, Tess is assisted by a homicide detective tracking a brutal serial killer whose ritualistic cycle of murder and mutilation targeting bike messengers is escalating to fever pitch.

Tess's battle to survive propels her into a deadly underworld where she must become judge & executioner, challenging her core beliefs about morality, justice & love.

Fatal Exchange is a genre-melding race that's sure to delight readers searching for an exciting new author in the action/intrigue realm.

The Cheat Sheet by Aaron Goldfarb @aarongoldfarb

The Cheat Sheet

From the author behind the hit novel "How to Fail: The Self-Hurt Guide" comes this collection of eleven short stories about the sexes, sex, and sexiness in New York.

"The Boyfriend Trials" -- A fed-up thirty-year-old woman has a most interesting methodology in searching for the perfect partner.

"Health" -- Arthur Lampkin is the sex-ed teacher at a Staten Island high school whose life is a living hell of comical sex-ed tools, oversexed teenagers, and an undersexed home life.

"The Feminist" -- Kelly Meyers is the only male professor at an all-girls college.

"Comedic Romance" -- Love in real life never happens like it does in Hollywood rom-coms.

"He Proposed" -- The day a woman gets proposed to is the most exciting day of her life. And, she can't wait to tell you all about it.

"Born. Again" -- What happens when a sexually promiscuous New York atheist spends a weekend with a chaste Midwestern Christian?

"Gross Humans" -- If you knew what most couples did behind closed doors, you'd be repulsed.

"Ain't Nothing Like a New York Romance" -- There can't possibly be a better place to fall in love than New York City. Can there?
