Widow by Billie Sue Mosiman @BillieMosiman

WIDOW

NOMINATED FOR THE BRAM STOKER AWARD FOR SUPERIOR NOVEL.

A novel of feminism taken to the ultimate limit by a woman who no longer has anything to lose.

First her husband killed their children, then himself. Now she's on her own, and she's bent on making sure it never happens to another woman. It's too late for her...she's already damaged. She's already caught in the depths of despair where only taking the law into her hands holds out any sort of relief. Yet when she stops the evil she's felt compelled to commit, the murders continue. Someone is a copycat, pinning crimes on her, stalking her, teasing her with his devious plan. She can't make him stop. There may be no way out of the trap she's created out of loss, out of desperation.

There's another problem--she's falling in love with the detective who is in charge of tracking her down. Life is a complex series of paradoxes, a spiral of fear and murder where nothing is as it seems.

Dive and Fly

Imagine… You were born with a rare condition. Synesthesia. You taste color. You feel sound. Now imagine how that would impact your job. Your love life. Your future.

Billy Shakes is a successful writer whose synesthesia helped him create six killer novels. But he has hit a slump so his agent urges him to get out and take his ‘disease’ on the road. Take some risks. Get those creative juices flowing again. He does.

Billy meets Maureen at a Florida film festival, and to Billy her shimmering bronze skin tastes of crème brûlée. But the barely married Maureen tastes adventure.

Thus begins a kaleidoscope of events involving Maureen’s brutish husband, a feisty best friend, a deadbeat fiancé, two inept hit men, an alcohol-infused Scientist, a riot grrl with a penchant for large automatic weapons…Oh, and Eden, an old friend with her own mysterious condition who longs to take a few risks herself.

Through a series of missteps, close calls and mistaken identities, this dysfunctional group ricochets off one another as they storm into Chicago. After causing a near riot at the Art Institute, Billy and Eden find themselves poised on the edge of the roof. As a dozen security guards rush toward them with guns ablaze, Billy and Eden are forced to take one last risk - with wondrous and surprising results.

Baseball's LOST Tradition by Eric Thompson (author) Bob Costas (Foreword)

Baseball's LOST Tradition: Two Eight-Team Leagues

BASEBALL’S LOST TRADITION: Two Eight-Team League is a chronological history of the turmoil and consequences involved in baseball’s first self-imposed expansion for the 1961 and 1962 seasons- the problems encountered in forming two ten-team leagues, and the struggles players faced as Major League Baseball replaced the traditional two eight-team leagues.

Author Eric Thompson reveals obscure facts regarding baseball’s first self-imposed expansion? For example, which teams were the original expansion teams? Did the American League expansion draft and National League expansion draft use the same format for selections? What did major league baseball promise the Continental League? Was the promise fulfilled? Which league first announced their expansion? Did the American League and the National League expand during the same year? These questions and many more are answered in BASEBALL’S LOST TRADITION: Two Eight-Team Leagues.

In the second half of the book Thompson moves beyond the facts and weaves a compelling story with two eight-team leagues playing a traditional 154-game schedule in the fictional Adirondack Valley League. In the style of “The Natural” and “A League of Their Own” Thompson weaves facts with fiction and presents player transactions and plausible, detailed statistics are presented for the 1961 and 1962 seasons as if expansion had never taken place.

Circle of Bones by Christine Kling @christinekling

Circle of Bones: a Caribbean Thriller

Do you love to read big adventure thrillers packed with tales of gold snatched away from Nazis, chase scenes in steaming jungles, even steamier sex scenes, treacherous waterfalls, coded messages buried in dusty journals, and a secret society conspiring to take over the world?

Christine Kling's new Caribbean thriller, CIRCLE OF BONES, is just such a real page-turner based on an actual true mystery of World War II. The French submarine Surcouf, once the largest submarine in the world, departed Bermuda in 1942 and vanished without a trace. In this pulse-pounding thriller, Kling imagines what might have happened in this unsolved mystery.

Solo sailor Maggie Riley is cruising aboard her forty-foot sailboat when she rescues a sexy – but crazy conspiracy-spouting treasure hunter/archeologist who is swimming totally nude off the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe. She soon learns he is searching for the wreck of a mysterious submarine. Cole Thatcher claims the sub holds millions in gold coins as well as secret documents from a powerful inner circle of Skull and Bones whose goal is to keep America at war for their own profits. Cole hopes for Riley's help in decoding his father’s journals that are the key to the location of the wreck.

At last, Riley joins the search for Surcouf when she discovers the demons in her own past intersect the inner Circle of Bones, and this conspiracy nut might not be so crazy after all.

A Horse Called Trouble by C.K. Volnek @CKVolnek

A Horse Called Trouble


A troubled teen must overcome her abusive past to save the defiant horse that has taught her to love and trust again.
Abandoned by her mother at the young age of seven, Tara Cumming’s been passed from foster home to foster home; not wanted anywhere by anyone. At thirteen she finds herself skeptic and suspicious, with no family, no friends, and forced to participate in horse therapy.

Horse therapy “will teach trust, perseverance, respect and the value of teamwork,” or so says the program’s instructor. Tara is unconvinced. Trust only got her heart broken, perseverance only gets her put down, and no one respects or wants to team up with the misfit foster kid.

At the stable, Tara meets Trouble, an angry horse bent on destroying everything and everyone around him. When Tara realizes he’s just as misunderstood and untrusting as she is, she pushes aside her fear and a special relationship is formed. Trouble trusts Tara, and Tara in turn finds hope and acceptance as well as the will to love and trust again herself.

But Tara’s confidence is shaken as a great challenge looms ahead. Trouble’s manipulative owner is determined to have him destroyed because of his ‘dangerous’ nature. Tara must overcome her own limitations and fight to save the horse that has freed her heart and given her life value and meaning.

Czechmate by Seth Harwood @sethharwood

Czechmate (Jack Palms Crime)

Once hired by the SFPD to investigate the mysterious murder of a crooked cop, Jack Palms now finds himself in the path of Alexi Akakievich, a cruel drug lord with a ring of sex slaves tapped directly into the city’s political elite. What’s unclear is whether Akakievich wants the power they can give him, or if he just wants to tear the city down. Whether Jack likes it or not, he finds himself in the way. Luckily, in Czechmate we see the return of Vlade, Niki and Al to stand by his side.
Graphic violence, sexual themes and packed with action. Not for the young or faint of heart.

Review - Messages From Henry by Rebecca Scarberry @Scarberryfields


Messages From Henry

The author offers this synopsis:

Henry is special.
When Evelyn Bury becomes the unlikely victim in a random kidnapping, Henry flies to the rescue.
In the process, Henry enlists Tammy, Evelyn’s next-door neighbor and the lackadaisical authorities to assist in Evelyn’s escape.
Henry hurdles many obstacles to the point of endangering his own life in order to save his dear master.
You will find yourself routing Henry on, cheering his progress and praying for Evelyn’s safe return.
Read MESSAGES FROM HENRY and lose yourself in a fun, fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat suspense thriller written for all ages, twelve and above.
But, please…remember one small, feathery detail…
Henry…is a homing pigeon!


A homing pigeon as a hero? I know it sounds strange but true. Henry puts in as much passion into saving his master, Evelyn, as any action hero I know. This story reads very much like an action movie. The use of present tense makes the action and suspense more real. It's like being in the story and watching it unfold before you in real time.
I like the concept of using the pigeon as apart of the story and creating this cat and mouse game. If there was an element that didn't appeal to me was that the chase was too long. The police would eventually arrive on the scene just a split second too late again and again and again.
I liked the detective work of the main character and her observations bring about a great ending to the chase. Henry is a great hero and you will cheer him on through the whole story.
Messages From Henry is a short story that I recommend to read.

FlagShip Science Fiction and Fantasy - Jan 2012
FlagShip is shifting to shorter, leaner issues, and moving to a monthly schedule. That means that in 2012, expect to see a lot of FlagShip and Flying Island Press!

In This Issue:

Finding the Way Forward - The Editor talks about some new directions for the year, including the shift to monthly issues.

The Dame Wore White - She was a long, cool woman in a white dress, and nothing but trouble, but Mackleroy didn't care. He needed something to bring the spark back to his life.

Mercy - He was a man in a woman's world, hired to guide the Mender out to defeat the evil that had killed an entire town. What they found was mercy... of a sort.

Evolution: A Love Story. Shingling the house with old, useless CDs had seemed a good idea at the time. He really didn't mean for it to be a signal for alien spacecraft... and he certainly didn't think it was a marriage proposal!

View from the Poop Deck - Welcome to the End of the World. It's 2012! Finally! (In more than one sense of the word.)

Progeny by Shawn Hopkins @shawnahopkins

Progeny

It has been months since John Carter's estranged brother, Henry, has gone missing. When last heard from, he was sailing off to Bermuda in search of an author whose books deal with the esoteric traditions of past ages.

Reluctantly, John joins Henry's old Special Forces Teammates on a trip to Bermuda, hoping to discover the truth behind Henry's disappearance. But not all is as it seems in Bermuda, and the puzzle that awaits John on the small island paradise will prove to be more sinister than anything the world has seen in a very, very long time.

As the fingers of an ancient evil seek to draw him into another world - a world where all of Hell is trying to break loose - John must confront the truth of his own past... and pray that he might survive its revelation...

...that the WORLD might survive its revelation.

Dark Horseman by Charisse Howard @CharHow

Dark Horseman: a historical romance

When Victoria “Tory” Allen learns her beloved Belmont has gone up in flames, she jumps on a horse and races home to her injured grandfather. Grandall's niece Sally frets: How will such a headstrong belle make any Virginia gentleman a proper wife? Among the young gentlemen who'd like to find out is Sally’s handsome son, Charles, a Charlottesville lawyer.

Grandall shocks his whole household by hiring a gruff, bearded stranger called Ned Finn to run Belmont until he recovers. Tory resents the intrusion, although she can't help admiring Finn’s skill with horses. Charles questions the newcomer's growing influence over the ailing old man. All soon realize that the mysterious Mr. Finn is not what he seems. New discoveries, and some clues from Shakespeare, throw Belmont’s social order into chaos. Tory faces a desperate choice: can she save her beleaguered home, or will this "battle of stallions" destroy it?

A Summons To Perdition by John L. Work @WORK949

A Summons To Perdition (The Detective J.D. Welch Novels)

J.D. WELCH comes back for one last curtain call in this suspense-filled final novel in the series.

Our retired detective receives a phone call from prominent defense investigator Mike Woleski, who has a rather urgent request. He wants to hire the former cop to locate PATTY CURTIS, Woleski’s missing college freshman granddaughter.

Patty has disappeared with her Egyptian lover, HAMID KHAZEMI. He is one of a seven-member terrorist cell that’s been dispatched on a jihad mission which will kill hundreds of Americans.

Patty’s mother, MARY, is a rising star in Colorado politics and doesn’t want the police involved in the search for her daughter.

Welch enlists the help of retired detective JOE BRYERSON, a close friend. Using a clue provided by Patty's college roommate, the two retired cops set out across the country to find the missing girl.

A foreign-born conspiracy based on archaic historically accurate mandates from the founder of Islam, another unthinkable act of large-scale terrorism inside the U.S.A., murder, and some solid investigative work by two aging retired American cops all combine to make this novel a memorable thriller.

Orion Rising by C.A. Masterson @CateMasters

Orion Rising

To the Byrne children, constellations were more than stick figures in the night sky. At their father’s telling, their myths became tales of adventure and romance for Percy, Allie, Mary and Aurie, whose names seem to imbue celestial royalty upon them. When the Orion River floods in 1965, the Byrne children are drawn to it like sailors to a siren’s call. After Aurie disappears in the river, their names seem more like a curse. Though self-imposed, the curse follows them through three decades before each learns the key to breaking it – love, and forgiveness. But sometimes the hardest person to forgive is yourself.

Something to Live for by Natalie G. Owens @natalie_g_owens

Something to Live for (Moonlight Dating Series)

Fifteen years ago, one fateful day bound the lives of two perfect strangers...

Melita Saari-Quinn is living the consequences of a traumatizing psychic event that turned her adolescence upside down. Now, disillusioned with her job as a psychotherapist and desiring a change from her lackluster existence, she hopes that something out of her ordinary sphere of existence - something totally uninhibited and spontaneous - will renew her zest for life.

Alex Moncado seems to have it all - good looks, a successful business, and a fun life in "party central" of the Mediterranean: the island of Malta. Except for one day in the year when he can't help but remember a tragedy that never should have been. One day he'd rather forget, because if he doesn't, the guilt will consume him.

Can one passionate night together banish the ghosts of the past and give two lost souls a second chance?

Interview with Morgan St. James @LVWritingExamin

The Digital Ink Spot interviewed Morgan St. James, a former interior designer, Morgan spent many years designing interiors for model homes, celebrities, restaurants and offices.

Her writing career was launched when Designer’s West Magazine approached Morgan and her partner during the time they owned an interior design studio in California and asked them to write an article. Morgan discovered she loved writing. The article was so well-received, she wrote many more published “how to” articles for designers. From there, she expanded her topics to diverse subjects.

Splitting time between homes in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, she is a member of Henderson Writers Group, Las Vegas Writers Group, Public Safety Writers Group, Sisters in Crime/LA, Greater Los Angeles Writers Society.

The Digital Ink Spot: You write stories under your name and with your sister as a co-writer. How do you two divide the work?

I write the Silver Sisters Mysteries series with my sister, Phyllice Bradner. I also write novels, short stories, columns and articles on my own as well as with other co-authors. When I work with my sister, we write long distance utilizing email and the telephone. She lives in Oregon and I split time between L.A. and Las Vegas. We generally meet in person at her home or mine when we plot a book and spend a week or so filled with figuring out who does what to whom combined with a good sister visit. By the end of the week, we have plot notes and a strong sister relationship. What we develop is sort of like an outline, but not exactly the same, but we know the story, twist we’d like to add and where it is going. Then, since I’m a quick writer, I create the draft chapters and send them to her as they are ready. She is a trained editor and massages each and every word, then sends it back to me. If it’s a “wrap,” it goes into the first draft. Otherwise we go through a round of early edits.

When the first draft is finished, we meet for another week or so, print copies of the manuscript and read it out loud to each other and do another edit. We then read it through one more time and it is generally ready for the publisher at that point.


The Digital Ink Spot: Did your mother write Can We Come In and Laugh, Too? herself or did you help her?

I encouraged my mother to write it when she was 80 years old over her protests that she was not a writer. In the beginning, I wanted to be sure we had a record of all of the wonderful stories we’d heard from the time we were kids. My oldest son transferred her handwritten pages to his Mac back in 1990, but I kept the handwritten copy. He also gave me a printout. Then to my dismay, somewhere along the line I lost both and when his Mac went to the computer heaven in the sky, the digitized copy was lost as well. I searched everywhere I could think of but the file was nowhere to be found.

Mom passed away in 2006 as she approached her 97th birthday. In 2010 the file miraculously appeared, tucked away in a place I’d searched years before. It was as though she was sending a signal that she was ready to share her stories. Part I was written by Rosetta and I edited it. At least 90% of that part was written by her. Then I curated the stories for Part II from my sister, my kids and cousins and edited Part II. The result was a book that has delighted all who downloaded it or purchased the paperback. It is her gift of laughter to readers.


The Digital Ink Spot: I've read that you use family and friends as inspiration for your characters. Do they read your stories and try and guess who you have incorporated in a story?

Some do, although many of the characters are composites. My mother’s family was quite zany, as evidenced in Can We Come In And Laugh, Too? so we had a treasure trove to draw from. Then, in a few cases, like some of the stories in my short story collection The MAFIA FUNERAL and Other Short Stories, the real character is used and named. In others, like Devil’s Dance and The Devil’s Due, a pair of romantic suspense books I wrote as Arliss Adams, the character of Jen is based upon someone whose real story I knew many years ago. What happened to her gave me the idea for the first book. The second book is pure fiction. The character of Vince DeLuca was based upon a man I was very close to who passed away at an early age. The Silver Sisters mother Flossie is a composite of our own mother Rosetta and her sister Edna with a little of the Sophia irreverence from the Golden Girls thrown in. Their great uncle Sterling is inspired by our Uncle Sol. And, of course, Goldie is based upon Phyllice who did live in Juneau, Alaska for many years, owned an antique shop at one point like Goldie, and has a “salt of the earth” loving, giving personality. Godiva is my alter ego, although I’m not as selfish as Godiva, but I admit to being manipulative. I don’t have an estate in Beverly Hills but did live two houses from the Beverly Hills city limit at one time, and don’t write an advice column but people always come to me for advice.


The Digital Ink Spot: How do you gather all those tip and tricks you share on your blog and newsletter?

I’m a natural researcher and networker. I also belong to many writers groups in both L.A. and Las Vegas, plus attending lots of conferences and workshops. I hear the things people agonize about, absorb information like a sponge and put a lot of that into my articles. I also say that I’ve learned many things in the “School of Hard Knocks.” Generally when you learn by your own mistakes and those mistakes have consequences, you don’t make the same ones again. However, there are always new ones lurking in the shadows. In addition to solid advice, I try to share what I’ve learned by also including personal anecdotes and examples in both my Writers’ Tricks of the Trade book and columns in the hope of helping other writers. As a last source, when I read another writer’s article that hits home, I’ll do additional research and then write something with the further information I’ve discovered and include my own spin.


The Digital Ink Spot: What can readers expect from you in the future?

Wow. That’s a good question. There is so much always in the works. The funny crime caper I co-authored with Meredith Holland, Who’s Got the Money?, will be released by Oak Tree Press in mid July. It is a clever plot to scam the federal government out of millions. When three employees, former female executives who took jobs with the prison system selling furniture manufactured in federal prisons, discover the nefarious plot, the trio literally goes undercover like bumbling Charlie’s Angels. Lots of twists and turns and many laughs while the plot unfolds. Then in September, my creative nonfiction book, “Confessions of a Cougar,” will be released by Marina Publishing Group. The title and cover are pretty much self explanatory, so I’ll let them stir imaginations. The fourth Silver Sisters book, “Diamonds in the Dumpster,” is currently in work and we’re hoping for a late 2013 release. As if that wasn’t enough, I’m also co-authoring a book with true crime author Dennis Griffin. The story is one that is shocking, amazing and inspiring. The person behind the story endured many of the things my character in Devil’s Dance did, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Her story intrigues me beyond imagination and will be intense. In addition, I’ll continue to write articles, give workshops, talks and participate in panels. Now all I have to do is figure out how to fill the two or three minutes that might be idle each day!

Mmm...No1...Cookbook by Michael Madden @Tumbattle

Mmm...No1...Cookbook
U.K.: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mmm-No1-Cookbook-ebook/dp/B00822CN30

My kitchen is full of cookery books. There are region specific ones, celebrity television chef ones, food specific ones, curry is a particular favourite, and even one that explains how to catch, kill, hang and cook a possum! Added to this are a number of recipe cards that have fallen out of magazines, extracts from newspapers and periodicals, and hand written recipes passed down through the generations. Many of the books have pages stuck together, particularly the messy Nigella ones, whilst many of the magazine pages are torn and faded.

Now, whilst the feel of a 300 page cookery book might initially fill me with excitement at the prospect of new ideas and new ingredients, it is not too long before I realise that, for everyday cooking, I am only ever going to use one or two, and even the one or two are generally adapted to the tastes of my own family as well as the convenience of the ingredients. So, I decided that I would put all of my favourite recipes in one place, on the Kindle, an item that is likely to be treated with a lot more care than a newspaper cutting. I know that there are no pictures to go with the dishes, but I already know what the finished meal should look like. Another advantage of Mmm.No1...Cookbook on Kindle is that it provides a handy method of taking a list of ingredients to the shops!
