As the Sun Turns Black by Barry Crowther @barrycrowther

As the Sun Turns Black (Matt Spears Mystery)


From the very first page of As the Sun Turns Black, it is clear that something is very rotten in the city of Manchester.

Two young girls are missing – then one is found dead, covered in blood and swan-feathers. The murdered child turns out to be the daughter of Matt Spears’ friend, Eddie, who appeals to him to find the killer.

Matt refuses to get involved – he’s having enough trouble trying to stabilize his business and keep his relationships alive. But then, the hated and heartless journalist, Garry Corless arrives back in town, prompting Matt to wonder whether the girl will be found dead or alive before the killer dubbed 'Red' strikes again.

Matt begins to make a series of terrifying connections to a string of murders reaching into the past; driving him into a tangled web of police corruption, violence, blackmail, sexual obsession and fraud. From the upper echelons of high finance to the gritty underbelly of the Lancashire shadows – no one is safe.

Rowena Through the Wall by Melodie Campbell @MelodieCampbell

Rowena Through the Wall: Expanded Edition


When Rowena falls through her classroom wall and lands in an alternate world, she doesn’t count on being kidnapped―not once, but twice―and the stakes get higher as the men get hotter.

College instructor Rowena Revel has a magical gift with animals and a huge problem. Gorgeous tunic-clad men keep walking through the wall of her classroom. If that isn't enough, she's being haunted by sexy dreams in a rugged land. Curious, she checks out the wall and falls through a portal into the world of her dreams.

After years of war, women are scarce. Rowena finds herself in a heap of man-trouble when she 'accidentally' marries distant cousin Ivan. Enter Cedric, who dabbles in black magic and has an even blacker heart. Throw in a Viking, the local wolf-king, a band of brigands and a goth-clad student who follows her through the portal, and Rowena is off on a rollicking adventure.

Unwanted husbands keep piling up, but that doesn't stop her from falling for the wrong brother. Not only that, she has eighteen year old Kendra to look out for and a war to prevent. Good thing she has the ability to go back through the wall. Or does she?

NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: This special expanded edition features an all-new ending based on a sequel I had planned. Due to the overwhelming response from readers who were too excited to wait, here's the entire story, including the thrilling conclusion to Rowena's journey.

CAMILEON: Beyond The Veil by Shykia Bell ‏ @ShykiaBell

CAMILEON: Beyond The Veil

Seeing beyond the veil means seeing beyond what logic dictates and what others believe.

As Camile Leon becomes engulfed in the mysteries on the other side of the veil, she learns the astounding truth of its significance to the world's vitality. Furthermore, she comes closer to understanding her pending role in steering upcoming events to either elevate or destroy humanity as she knows it. As time elapses, the woman in the mirror becomes tinted with a disturbing haze of unfamiliarity. The recent emergence of abdominal scars trigger memories of a past littered with deceit, abuse, seduction and betrayal. This leads Camile to question not only whether she can trust the people appointed to train and assist her, but also her own moral fiber. Doubt is sometimes a paralyzing force, but in Camile's case, it could result in a cataclysmic chain reaction...

...with humanity in its path.

CAMILEON: Beyond The Veil transcends the sci-fi/fantasy genres and infuses a seamless blend of paranormal adventure, psychological thriller and romance. It explores the possibility that while a civilization betrays itself, perhaps the conflict exposes something far more vulnerable than the land and possessions at the source of the chaos.

Review - King Richard by Letter Seventeen

King Richard
I've loved this band since its first release. This album is amazing with a mix of so many influences. The musicians brought in for this album are top notch. Lyrically the songs can speak to your soul and invaded you mind like no one's business. I am glad to be fan and long for more from Letter Seventeen in the future.
This is a great album and a treasured addition to any music lover. The only draw back is the band's notoriety for Donkey Songs in previous releases and no Donkey Song is found on this album. It was a good run. The Donkey Song is dead long live King Richard.

Jetting Away by Teri Heyer ‏ @TeriHeyer

Jetting Away

Priscilla Alexander can no longer take the stress of her job as an advertising executive in San Francisco. In addition, her soon-to-be-divorced mother has permanently moved into Priscilla's small condo. To make matters worse, Priscilla recently split from her dead-end boyfriend. So, after eating a to-die-for hot-fudge sundae at Ghirardelli Square, she decides to get away. Her destination? She'll fly to Australia and venture into the Outback, alone. As Priscilla has come to realize, sometimes escape is the only option.

WARNING: "Jetting Away" is a short story prequel to "Outback Love." It can be read as a stand-alone, but I'm sure you'll enjoy Priscilla's further adventures in my contemporary romance novel, "Outback Love." "Jetting Away" is approximately 5,680 words in length. It's a short, fun read with a touch of romance. You may feel compelled to drink coffee, eat donuts, savor hot fudge sundaes and jet away. Best of all, it's Free!!!

Slow Your Prose: 25 Tips on How New Authors Can Improve Their Craft by James W. Lewis @biglew1971

Slow Your Prose: 25 Tips on How New Authors Can Improve Their Craft

New writers often worry more about how to sell their book instead of writing a polished story in the first place. They have the pedal pressed to the floor when they shouldn't have gotten in the ride at all, so to speak. In "Slow Your Prose: 25 Tips On How New Authors Can Improve Their Craft," we go back to the basics.

Showing vs. telling, passive/active voice, point-of-views ... many writers confuse these key elements for writing a good story. Before rushing a book to market, it's more important to write the best book possible first. But why do so many authors skip this step?

As a bonus, you'll find three proven query letters that have led to deals with a literary agent, a magazine and popular anthology by a New York Times best-selling author.

The plans are made, the date is set, and it should be easy, but trying to dodge a drug lord's right hand man, a moronic former friend, a young wannabe thug, a greedy store owner with a bad toothache, and finding out that you planned the robbery on the same day as a championship parade in Philadelphia can shake things up.

These guys will be the first to tell you: it's not easy rushing the Row.

Gray Area by George P. Saunders @gpsaunders30

Gray Area

Lou Diamond is known for being the best field agent around in the Los Angeles Police Department's elite division, the Office of Special Services. The OSS, quite simply, gets the worst crime jobs on the planet-and Lou Diamond, at one time or another, has seen them all. An ex-tactical assault agent with Special Weapons and Tactics, Diamond has enjoyed a near one hundred percent success rate in solving any crime, anywhere.

But when lawyers suddenly end up mysteriously dying at his brother's prestigious law firm, the evidence to be found is wanting in every way. The suspects in Lou Diamond's book are all dirty in some way, but all clear of the suspicion of murder. As the body count continues to grow at the firm he is investigating, so to does Diamond's belief that the murderer at large is killing with a purpose other than personal revenge.

Things become more complicated still when he meets one of the firm's most powerful partners, the beautiful and alluring, Linda Baylor. Compelled into a bizarre, sexual relationship with Baylor, Diamond begins to have a terrible suspicion that there is a gray area between sex, trust and blood. And that at the end of the day, nothing is as it seems-and no one is who they claim to be.
Lou Diamond comes to understand that the end result of such ambiguity is death.

Let Us Play, A Rock 'n Roll Love Story by Karen Magill @karenmagill

Let Us Play, A Rock 'n Roll Love Story

In an uncertain time in the future, Kaya More uses her gift of second sight to lead LUPO - the Let Us Play Organization - a group of rebels as they fight the unjust laws that ban rock and roll music. In the United States their opponent is Judah Arnold and the People Against Rock and Roll, otherwise known as PARR.

Some of LUPO’s members are descendants of a legendary rock band that were the last to oppose PARR on the fateful night that rock music was wiped out. The band, MYSTIQUE, disappeared, never to be heard from or seen again. Such was the fate of many rock musicians.

As the rebels race from the streets of New York City to the tops of the Canadian Rockies to the beaches of the California they find adventure, music and love. Yet the story doesn’t really explode until the rest of the world takes a stand and joins in the struggle.

Premature Eradication - Part 1 by James W. Lewis @biglew1971

Premature Eradication - Part 1

Way too often, the fire flickers out in a relationship. Many men become lazy, striving to get quick-draw, “drive-by” satisfaction from their partners. That leaves wives and girlfriends frustrated and wide awake, while their male companions lay satisfied and meeting the Sandman within minutes. Just another uneventful night of “dip, dive, and doze” that has become the routine.

Robert Johnson is no different with Tosha, his wife of five years. The marathons of the past have long become 50-yard sprints. When introduced to a new pill called Erectz, the mindless humping doesn’t improve; they just become more frequent. Fed up with the "male species," Tosha bands together with other like-minded women to expose men for what they really are—vile, selfish, lazy, and completely unnecessary. But they are good for one thing.

Premature Eradication is a two-part suspense series that has a unique spin on the age-old tale of a woman scorned, and a man unknowingly chosen to endure the greatest of all nightmares. As the saying goes, “when a woman’s fed up, there ain’t nothin’ you can do about it” ... except run.

How To Sell A Gazillion eBooks In No Time by Russell Blake @BlakeBooks

How To Sell A Gazillion eBooks In No Time

How To Sell A Gazillion eBooks In No Time (Even if Drunk, High or Incarcerated) is a parody of all things related to writing, self-publishing and self-promotion. Featuring 59 Writer’s Tips running the gamut from selecting a blockbuster title to creating compelling narrative and dialog, Russell’s relentlessly evil humor mocks everything sacred to the writing profession. Described as “…the literary equivalent of Ebola” and “vicious, demented, reprehensible brain poison,” Blake’s book is sweeping the publishing industry and garnering rave reviews. A must buy for authors, friends of authors, and readers everywhere.

Review - Sarah's Dirty Secret by Charity Parkerson @CharityParkerso

Sarah's Dirty Secret

The author offers this synopsis:

Sarah has been married for ten years, and she couldn't be more bored. However, Sarah is keeping one little secret. She can't stop fantasizing about her sexy boss. 

This book comes with a warning: This book contains graphic depictions of sexual activity including oral sex and masturbation. It is intended for mature audiences not offended by explicit representations of sexual activity between consenting adults.

That in a nut shell is my review. If you are not offended by explicit sexual situations then this is for you. The open scene starts with Sarah fantasizing about her employer. She's married with kids yet still has a hard body. Her employer, Charlie, is extremely handsome. He has some concern that she is married with kids but that concern doesn't last long.
What Parkerson describes is an explosion of immense sexual tension. Some folks long to witness that and this book will satisfy that need. The writing is done well but the story itself is very short and will definitely leave you wanting more. That is assuming you want more story.

Howl of the Wolf by Diane Rapp @DianeRapp

Howl of the Wolf (Heirs to the Throne (Book 1))

Drako is a planet on the fringe of civilized space suitable for colonization, but a society of telepathic wolves already occupies the world. When a colony ship lands on Drako, the wolves try to communicate but find no intelligent creatures to mindspeak with them. The wolves watch as colonists develop Drako into a recreation planet for wealthy tourists. Settlers became feudal lords, desert sheiks, oriental samurai, and ordinary peasants depending on their level of investment. After several generations of catering to tourism, the monarchy revolted against technology and closed Drako to offworld visitors. Distaste for technology mutated into superstitious hatred, and anyone caught with spacer tools or weapons could be executed.

In civilized space scientists invented Transfer, a means to insure immortality by moving a human mind into a clone—free of hereditary defects. Every fifty years (a span) an individual qualified for Transfer but the tradeoff was large debt to the Institute. Governments toppled and war left the Institute in total control. Individuals were virtual slaves to Institute rules, but the inventors of Transfer became a threat.

When the medical spaceship Zebulon flees from an Institute death sentence, the captain doesn’t know an assassin infiltrated his crew. They picked the remote planet of Drako for their exile where a dying king needs an heir, and hereditary lords hate spacers. When the king forces Captain Donovan to compete for the crown to protect the lives of his crew. Faced with superstitions, hatred, and eminent danger, the crew must adapt to a feudal society without using modern tools or weapons. Fortunately the Transfer process enhanced the natural talents of each person and might give them an advantage. When Kriegen, the leader of a wolf pack makes telepathic contact with Donovan, he gains a valuable ally agains Jarrack, the Institute assassin who is determined to kill him.

Cat and Mouse by Tim Vicary ‏ @TimVicary

When her husband returns home to join the Ulster Volunteers and fight the government, she faces an agonizing choice - to end her affair with James Rankin, the trade union leader whom she she thinks can give her all the love her husband has denied her, or face social ostracism and the loss of her beloved son.

United by their cause, Sarah and Deborah combine to fight both male corruption and a German plot to foment civil war in Ireland,

Review - Birdie Down by Jim Graham @jimsgraham

Birdie Down (Rebellion) by Jim Graham

The author offers this synopsis:

The Outer-Rim rebellion stumbles into its second day - and in the wrong direction.

The third generation residents of the resource-rich New Worlds are seeking to throw off the yoke of corporate rule. Ex-Resource War veteran, Sebastian Scatkiewicz and his colleague, Andrew 'Birdie' Goosen, have dared to take on the biggest company of them all. Hot from attacking the Lynthax Corporation head offices on Trevon and then on G-eo they're planning to attack a third. But there's friction in the rebel camp. Scat's ignoring the advice of colleagues. His personal beef with Jack Petroff, Lynthax's head of security, is affecting his judgement; his friends and political masters are doubting his motives; and the loyalty of the newest recruits is far from certain...

 For a book written in five weeks, it ain't half bad. It has all the elements a sci fi story requires, lasers, star ships and rebels. It reminds me of a space opera than anything else. The characters are not developed to a point for me to invest myself in them. They seem to be very stereo-typical.

Graham should be congratulated on writing and publishing this book in record time. I would hope he can keep up the pace and should have a large collection of work in no time. I was not particularly impressed by this story. It did not find it very interesting to me. At some points, I found it very annoying. Within the story is a laser rifle the author calls a PIKL. It stands for Pulsed Impulsive Kill Laser. In the entire story, the term PIKL is overly used. I would hope that in that vast universe there would be other types of firearms.

The story line is done well and resolves in a way that will allowing the characters to continues in other books. I believe a sequel is in the works. I can say that Birdie Down is not a must read but it's not something to avoid. Graham shows potential and talent and will only get better at his craft.

What Would Satan Do? by Anthony Miller @anthonypmiller

What Would Satan Do?

Disgusted with God’s plan for Judgment Day, Satan has quit his job and
abandoned Hell in favor of a quiet retirement in Washington, D.C. But
life on Earth is tricky for an ex-angel with a short fuse and no
impulse control. When a parking attendant mysteriously bursts into
flames and a weight-challenged woman somehow ends up in low-Earth
orbit, Satan finds that he has attracted the attention of several
meddlesome federal agencies. Even worse, there are signs that the
governor of Texas has somehow gone ahead and started up the end of the
world without him.

The Prince of Darkness heads for the Lone Star State, where he tangles
with a megalomaniacal televangelist, joins the Militant Arm of the
American Geriatrics Association, and wields the Flaming Shotgun of
Divine Justice at a guy whose hobbies include invading churches to
denounce ritualized cannibalism. Through it all, one thing is clear:
Someone has to put a stop to Judgment Day. Now, having spent
millennia trying to wreck the place, the Devil may be the world’s only
hope.

Earthlink: Impact by Sarah Barnard @UKSarahBarnard

Earthlink: Impact

Earthlink:Impact is a short novella, at only approx 20,000 words, a quick read.

Sci fi, with a troubled teenager, aliens and spaceships.

What if they are up there, monitoring us, and the planet? What if the planet has grown, developed, become conscious in some way? What if just one person could hear that consciousness in pain? What if that one person had just crashed a stolen car after a night of drink and drugs?

Sage is eighteen years old and, ever since she can remember, there's been a voice in her head. She'll tell you that she doesn't hear voices, they don't tell her to do anything. It's just a single voice, and it doesn't speak, it screams. She hears an unending scream as if the voice is someone in constant agonising pain.

She's been told she's hallucinating. She's spent time in psychiatric care and on strong drugs that cut her off from her feelings, and she hates all of it.

But she's not hallucinating, the voice is all too real and Sage has been watched for years in the hope that she's not the only one who can hear. When Sage puts her life in danger, and it's clear that she is unique, intervention is necessary.

Stripped Down: 13 Keys to Unlocking Intimacy in Your Marriage by Alisa Michele DiLorenzo @alisadilorenzo, Tony DiLorenzo @oneonfire

Stripped Down: 13 Keys to Unlocking Intimacy in Your Marriage

"Stripped Down is full of practical advice on the most important human relationship we have on Earth. Tony & Alisa are the real deal! Their open and authentic approach to the topic of intimacy in marriage is refreshing in a world that blushes at the thought of having conversations around this gift that God has given to married couples. We believe this is a conversation that all married couples should have and that this book is a great place to start."
-Cliff & Stephanie Ravenscraft, Hosts of Family From The Heart at FamilyFromTheHeart.com

"As a life coach I see many people who have created strategies for business success. But those same people frequently have no plan for success in the most important areas of life. In Stripped Down, Tony and Alisa share clear systems and processes for being as intentional about success in your marriage as you would expect in your business. With no plan in place, your business - or your marriage - will likely fail. Don't take that chance."
-Dan Miller, author, 48 Days to the Work You Love, and Life Coach, 48days.com

Life is moving so fast at times that we lose sight of the romance, passion, and intimacy we so desire in our marriage. After 10 years of marriage Tony & Alisa lost sight of why they got married. Kids, work, family, and everything else were taking priority over their marriage. In September of 2008 they started the 60 Days of Sex Challenge. Little did they know that the experience would change their lives. The lessons they learned not only changed their physical intimacy in the bedroom, but brought dramatic improvement to every area of their marriage. Those lessons are all here in Stripped Down, an easy to read workbook that will help you bring back the intimacy and passion in your own marriage.

Blood Will Tell (Warriors of Ankh #1) by Samantha Young @SYoungSFAuthor

Blood Will Tell (Warriors of Ankh #1)

From the author of the Tale of Lunarmorte trilogy comes a new series with serious attitude...

Eden is a Soul Eater. While that hasn’t meant much to her in the past, she’s pretty sure any minute now she’s going to go all "Carrie" on her eleventh grade class.

Noah is an Ankh. As an immortal Warrior, his purpose in life is to hunt down and kill Soul Eaters.

Eden is Noah’s next assignment. Problem is… this is an assignment with a difference. Eden’s not your average, run of the mill, Soul Eater. Noah’s job? To test Eden for possible redemption.

It’s a risky business.
Especially if Noah awakens Eden’s inner monster.

It would be kind of hard for Eden to listen to the angel on her shoulder when the devil on the other is telling her, her new best friend is a lying, scheming, immortal enemy...

....betrayal is such a bitch.

So is Eden when you get on her bad side.

YA Paranormal fiction for mature teens+ (some content may not be appropriate for younger readers)


Books two and three in the Warriors of Ankh trilogy are also available in Kindle edition.

The Last Elf by George P Saunders @gpsaunders30

The Last Elf

The last elf is over one million years old. He has been awakened to the time of Today, for a great mission: to do battle with the evil Black Elf, with the help of three children and a cowardly beagle named Junkett.

Assisting the elf in his cause, is a wizard named Dellick, and an amazing creature the size of a dragon called a Bandanglesnort. Together, these odd individuals must transport themselves to Other World, where the Black Elf plots and plans to destroy our world forever.

Once in Other World, the last elf, Junket, and friends confront adventures and creatures unbelievable to sight and imagination. Jenny, a friendly ghost, and Therlock, a grumpy vampire, join the group, as they must all face giant brain-eating snakes, Demon Helpers to the Black Elf, goblins, and gigantic scorpions.

The clock is ticking against our heroes, for the Black Elf aims to murder all the children in Other World, and then target our world shortly thereafter. It is up to the last elf, Junkett and company to stop not only wholesale murder in Other World-but the destruction of Earth itself!

The Awakened: Book One by Jason Tesar @JasonTesar

The Awakened: Book One

THE HISTORY: Over five thousand years ago, a renegade faction of angels abandoned the spiritual realm and began their inhabitation of earth. Worshiped as gods for their wisdom and power, they corrupted the realm of the physical and forever altered the course of history.

THE PROPHECY: Amidst the chaos of a dying world, a lone voice foretold the awakening of a warrior who would bring an end to this evil perpetrated against all of creation. But with the cataclysmic destruction of earth and rebirth of humanity, the prophecy went unfulfilled and eventually faded from the memory of our kind—until now!

THE AWAKENED: The physical dimension is fractured. What remain now are numerous fragmented worlds moving simultaneously through time, sharing a common history, connected only by a guarded portal. On a parallel earth, in the city of Bastul, Colonel Adair Lorus disappears while investigating the death of an informant, triggering a series of events which will tear his family apart and set in motion the resolution of an ancient struggle. Kael, sentenced to death after rising up against the cruel leadership of his new step-father, is rescued from prison and trained in the arts of war by a mystical order of clerics. Excelling in every aspect of his training, Kael inwardly struggles to give himself fully to the methods of his new family, or the god they worship. Maeryn, bitter over the disappearance of her husband and supposed execution of her son, fears for her life at the hands of her newly appointed husband. Finding comfort and purpose in her unborn child, she determines to undermine his authority by reaching out to an underground social movement known as the Resistance. After being forced from his home, Kael’s former mentor, Saba, uncovers a clue to Adair’s disappearance. Sensing a connection to his own forgotten past, Saba begins an investigation which leads to the discovery of a secret military organization operating within the Orudan Empire.

In book one of his debut series, Jason Tesar delves into the heart of an ancient legend, embarking on an epic saga that will journey from earth’s mythological past to its post-apocalyptic future, blending the genres of fantasy, sci-fi, and military/political suspense.

Paradox - Progeny Of Innocence by Patti Roberts @PattiRoberts7

Paradox - Progeny Of Innocence

The  Medieval Saga continues...

Two Worlds. One Ancient... still reeling from the ravages of a War that still threatens the lives of millions. A World where powerful Beings from Ancient Civilizations still rule.

A Realm where Gods, Angels, Myths and Magic exists.

And One New... Grace is not a little girl anymore! And as a teenager, Grace's visions become more frequent, urgent, torturing her life further still. The answers she hopes to find in her visions only leave her asking more questions... Who is Juliette?

When the charismatic Damon Draco begins to take an interest in Grace, it doesn't take long before Grace falls for his alluring charm. A charm she doesn't quite understand.

However, when Riley Rivers turns up in Grace's class one day, she starts to question the feelings she has for Damon.

Then death comes knocking...and when three of Grace's school friends are found burned to death, and their parents die in a fatal car accident that same weekend, some start to wonder if it really was just a coincidence, or a contrived plan to wipe out an entire family?

And if so, why, and by whom? And more importantly, will evil strike again?

You can bet your soul on it!
