Dance Like you Mean it by Jean Skartsiaris

dance like you mean itWhat if you wrote a steamy, erotic novel that was so hot bookstores couldn’t keep it on their shelves? What if you couldn’t tell anyone you wrote it?

At night, nurse Cassie Calabria pens a bodice-ripper novel, using an alias. She sends it to a few agents, then forgets about it. She’s more than surprised when she gets an offer for a publisher to include her book, Wild Rose, in a “summer-of-love special.”

Wild Rose becomes a blazing bestseller.

Suddenly she realizes she can't let anyone know that she wrote it. What would her children think? Or her own mother, who “taught her better,” and, worse, her husband who would question her made-up fantasies of sex on the beach.

How could she be thrown into the “red-light district” spotlight and still be a good mom?

Unless she went incognito.

Fatemarked by David Estes

FatemarkedThe Hundred Years War has ravaged more than three generations of kings, queens, and citizens across the Four Kingdoms. Corrupt rulers dominate. Religious intolerance runs rampant. The cycle of vengeance continues to turn with the seasons.

An ancient prophecy by a legendary oracle has been long forgotten. The prophecy promises the return of peace to the Four Kingdoms on the backs of a chosen few, the fatemarked, individuals marked at birth and blessed with specific magical powers. One shall be the Kings’ Bane, and will bring death to the warmongering rulers, using fear to force peace; another shall be the Peacemaker, bestowed with the rare ability to heal. Opposite sides of the same coin, dark and light, death and life, the Kings’ Bane and the Peacemaker are responsible for the fate of an entire continent.

As they fight to achieve their destinies, adversity will hinder them in every realm: in the frozen north, assassination attempts and a brutal power struggle; in the holy west, a vicious queen and her self-righteous army of warriors; in the mysterious iron-clad forest of the east, revenge and glory rule the day; and in the southern empires of Calyp and Phanes, maturing dragons, slaves, and a civil war.

Peace in Kensrik will be short-lived.

Odysseus: Bound by Stephen Logsdon

Knowing it's only going to be a matter of time before it does, it was decided, and at considerable cost, to dispatch ships more qualified to search out and make contact with these unknown civilizations, all in the hope of promoting peaceful coexistence.

It is aboard one of these vessels that we find Lieutenant Barrett Hannom, a navigator who wanted to see more of the universe. With this particular career choice, he would be sitting on a bridge aboard a starship, guaranteeing himself a front row seat on every new star system they entered. Maybe there would be the occasional bit excitement, and maybe it would be intermingled with a whole lot more monotony of the scientific survey, but to Barret it didn't matter. He was out here at the frontier to explore.

But never in his wildest dreams did he imagine being forced into a fight for his life during a far from peaceful alien encounter. In fact, this first-contact thing had gone so bad, all of humanity's representatives aboard didn't know what hit them before it was too late.

Return to Me: God's Heart Cry by N.A. Newlan

Return to me Gods heart cryReturn to Me; God's Heart Cry starts by introducing the prophets, their life, experiences and their messages. It is written in an interactive style that through your imagine allows you to experience what they have and by a series of questions brings their world into yours. For example, how would you respond to being abandoned, found by a king's daughter and raised as royalty or what if you were eaten by a big fish only to be spit out on the beach, how would you feel?

Would you be calm standing before hungry lions with no fear? Would you stand up for what you believed in even if you knew, if you did, you would be thrown in a furnace to be burned alive? How would you feel and what would you do in those circumstances?

Return to Me; God's Heart Cry turns to our beginning and our reconciliation. It takes us back to the very beginning where it all started. It shows us how sin entered the world and puts you in the garden for you to be the judge of the events. After you live the events, you see how God provided the reconciliation necessary by sending His own Son. Jesus, God's Son, lived a perfect life, died on a cross to bear the penalty for our sin, who rose from the dead on the third day and who is now seated at the right hand of the Father. It is through Him and only Him, we have reconciliation with God.

Decline by Jared Kane

 

Decline CoverA whirlpool of crows

Swirls above, justifying

Our murderousness

The world is a quiet place now. The streets are choked with dust and the ruins of civilization; the horizon is bleak in every direction. There are only a few survivors left. Occasionally, the silence is broken with cries of violence as the corrupted remains of humanity feed off the living. There is no longer any distinction between suffering and survival.

The end came suddenly, followed by the agony of slow deterioration that now defines the existence of Kane’s nameless narrator. Along his way, he will meet other survivors with whom he will experience moments of joy, grief, cruelty, and love, all of which merge into greater discoveries about the value of life.

Through beautiful and disturbing imagery and characters who will haunt the reader with their passionate, tortured personas, Kane tells a story of the post-apocalyptic world as it has never been seen before. There is terror and slaughter, and there is stillness and peace that can transcend all pain. From its gripping introduction, Decline is a stunning contemplation of the capacities of the human spirit to endure and make meaning when surrounded by death.

An Uncommon Attorney

An Uncommon Attorney, By Miles Craven

There were three of them that morning, their stockings soaked to the calves as they walked through the sodden meadow. John Eagle didn’t mind; he was using the time well while his patron slept, hoping to find him in better spirits than the night before. That today was the Sabbath and the barometer low made that prospect unlikely: Sir Walter Stanhope Baronet, even in the comfort of his private pew, was not one to relish his religious duty. Do it he would, however, if only for appearances’ sake; and he expected Eagle to do the same. But for now, before the bells of St Mary’s tolled with soul-clanging certainty, the young attorney had a corpse to inspect.

‘Not far now, sir,’ said Sir Walter’s strong-backed keeper, Ely Rhodes, pointing ahead with a gloved hand that covered, Eagle had supposed, some black deformity. ‘I found him just over there,’ he added, pointing next with his good hand, the one that pulled the trigger on his sporting gun and could still fell a poacher twice his size.

The question was, what would they find when they got there? Something heinous no doubt, the unmediated thrill of horror should the keeper’s story be true. And yet despite this, all their talk was of a different horror: the news that the King of France, Louis XVI, had been beheaded – ‘By his cruel and bloodthirsty subjects,’ as Sir Walter had put it the day before when he’d wafted the paper rudely in Eagle’s face and wagged his gold lorgnette. He’d gone on, without apology, to quote Mr Fox who had called the King’s execution ‘a most revolting act of cruelty and injustice'.
