Aberrant - YA Dystopian Romance by Ruth Silver

Aberrant is the story of a young girl, Olivia, who lives in Cabal, where the government provides jobs, housing, food and clothing for everyone. The "perfect" system. In this futuristic society, children are no longer conceived through natural methods, as infertility has plagued the world, and made it impossible to reproduce. As such, the government chooses ones spouse at eighteen and offers a lottery to help repopulate the world, known as "The Day of the Chosen." The first child is considered a blessing, a gift to the family. The second child, and any thereafter are taken far from the city walls of Genesis and handed over to the government.

 

There is an alternative, though the choice isn't much of one. Accept the government's rules or leave the city of Genesis and live in the Gravelands, filled with outlaws that will pillage and rape, in a large expanse of nothingness.

 

On the night after her wedding, Olivia is arrested and thrown in prison, the only crime committed – her existence. With no other choice and fearing for her life, she manages to escape the only home she's ever known, in hope of finding the promised rebel city of Haven and a better life. What she finds instead is a world like one she's never seen. Unsure who she can trust, she has little choice but to try and adapt.

 

--

 

Aberrant was inspired from both novels that I loved reading, The Hunger Games and The Handmaid's Tale. It also is a culmination of ideas in society, personal experience, and of course creativity. In China, there is the one child rule. How far away is our world from saying, "you have one child, that's acceptable but anymore would take away from the resources we need for survival. You must hand over your second child, to take someplace else." One would hope that we'd speak out but if the government was oppressive. However, if there was no free speech, you might quickly fear for you and your family's life. It's easy to see how the world could quickly become Dystopian, especially when that government is giving you everything you need to survive and could just as quickly cut you off and throw you into the Gravelands, or worse – kill you.

 

I started writing Aberrant in early 2011 and finished it the summer of 2012. Within a few short months of searching for a publisher, LazyDay Publishing signed on. I look forward to continuing the Aberrant trilogy. The next installment, Moirai will be released in 2014.

1. "The Avenged" by Charles Prandy is a non-stop, action-packed thrill ride that starts with a bang (literally) and doesn't let up until the very last page. I was totally hooked from the very beginning ... 5 stars! (5 stars). Karen "Readergirl" Matthews, GoodReads

2. I have to say that the plot was brilliant and complex, yet easy to follow. I was never bored, and never once felt lost or confused...It is one of the more interesting ones I've come across as of late, and would recommend for anyone who is a fan of James Patterson or those types of novels. (4 stars). J.T. Thomas, GoodReads

3. I loved this book! I read in in one sitting and couldn't get enough! I loved how the author, Charles Prandy, started the story at the end, (and it's really dramatic), so we want to read more in order to find out how the characters got to that point. It was really creative and well executed, and I loved the short, tight chapters. It made me just want to keep reading and reading, and I had to see how everything fell into place. I was not disappointed by the ending and would love to read more books from this author in the future. (5 stars). Jenna Brewster, GoodReads

Between Two Eternities - a mainstream romance novel by Barbara Brett

http://www.amazon.com/Between-Two-Eternities-ebook/dp/B00ASSEA5U

What would you do if you learned that the person you love more than life itself was destined to die soon—and he or she asked you to help ease the inevitable end? Would you do it? Could you do it?

Between Two Eternities is the unforgettable story of Robert and Marcie Silver. Married ten years, with two adorable children and successful careers, they are more in love than ever. They have everything to live for. But a terrible secret is breaking Robert's heart: he knows that Marcie is about to die of an inoperable brain tumor. The doctor tells Robert the heart-shattering news first so that he can be better prepared to help Marcie when she learns the devastating contents of his report. But Robert cannot bear to let Marcie know the truth. There was so much he had longed to give her, things that will now and forever be impossible. The least he can do is make her last days happy and free from the knowledge that death is hovering over her. Despite the doctor's strong objections, Robert insists that Marcie be given a false and hopeful diagnosis.

And so begins the spinning of the web of love lies. How long will Robert be able to keep Marcie entwined in it? She is a bright and curious woman. As her symptoms intensify, will she search for, and find, the truth on her own? And if she does, how will she react to the truth? And react to Robert, who has been hiding it from her? And how long will it be before Robert begins to feel strangled within his web of deception?

Between Two Eternities is the heartrending story of a young husband's struggle to protect his wife from a terrible truth, and then of their desperate search to find together the courage to live with it. It is the haunting account of their quest for answers to life's most painful questions. And it is the unforgettable chronicle of the breathless romance that comes to mean more than life itself—and that suddenly demands the ultimate sacrifice from both of them.

"The facts are cold; the story that unravels is warm and extremely moving... Brett handles it impeccably."—Publishers Weekly

"From decisions on how to spend last days and how to renew [a couple's] love...to how to face a loved one's moving on, Between Two Eternities provides a gripping saga packed with discussions of life and death's meaning, how to face the inevitable with dignity and wisdom, and most of all—how to preserve lasting love in the face of end times.... Heartfelt, poignant, and—surprising—even uplifting at many unexpected points, Between Two Eternities will captivate any reader interested in life, death, and transition points in between."
—Diane Donovan, Senior eBook Reviewer, The Midwest Review of Books

"This is one book that everyone should read to understand that time is short and we need to live and love life to the fullest because you just never know. Author Barbara Brett presents many issues that so many will debate after reading this heartbreaking and enlightening novel. Some portraits will change and others we know will last for eternity if just in our hearts and minds."

Eternal Vows - a time travel romace and fantasy adventure by Chrissy Peebles.

Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/Eternal-Vows-First-Series-ebook/dp/B007HPDFBC

BOOK TRAILER: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_w-eZwPJbA

Never marry a stranger...even if he is a drop-dead gorgeous immortal king.

Never pretend to be a princess.

And most importantly...never slip on an ancient wedding ring you know
nothing about.

Sarah Larker returns to a cave where her sister disappeared ten years
earlier. She walks through a portal and is mistaken for a runaway
princess on the run by a dangerous immortal king in medieval times.
Her plan is bold as well as daring—become this princess, wed the king,
and slip on an ancient wedding ring that will unlock the portal back
home. Then find her sister and run as fast as she can out of Dodge.
But taking on the identity of Princess Gloria comes along with
dangerous consequences; and slipping on the ruby ring comes with an
even higher price.
***
I have an interesting tidbit to share that most people don't know
about Eternal Vows. It was a NaNoWriMo writing project. Most people
think November is just another month in the calendar year, but for
writers it's one of the biggest writing challenges ever. The event is
called NaNoWriMo and it happens every November! The challenge is to
complete an entire novel in just 30 days. It's not about quality, but
quantity. The word-count goal is 50,000 words. Writers can use a
website to track their own progress, create profiles, upload excerpts
of their novels, and participate in discussions in different forums.

I embarked on my great novel-writing adventure with much enthusiasm,
spending the month of November pounding away on the keys any free
chance I had. I actually wrote 50,000 words! Of course, I spent the
next few months editing and whipping it into better shape. Last year,
more than 36,000 writers reached the 50,000-word goal.

I loved Sarah's story and had so much fun with her feisty character.
This was one of my favorite stories to write. And I can't believe I
did it in a month! (not the editing and fine-tuning, of course)

The Zombie Chronicles - a young adult horror novel by Chrissy Peebles

Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008R53WBO
 
BOOK TRAILER: http://youtu.be/ociUHiL1g70

Val was bitten by a zombie and now she's scheduled for lethal injection. Breaking all the rules, eighteen year old, Dean Walters snags an experimental serum. But it can't be tested until Val turns into a zombie: something authorities won't allow. Her execution is scheduled to happen before transformation is complete, giving Dean only hours to break her out.

When their helicopter crashes straight into the heart of Zombie Land, his rescue mission becomes a fight for survival…and giving up on Val is NOT an option.
 
***
 
Where did my inspiration come from? It came from my desire to share my overactive imagination…to entertain. I really loved the idea of a person trying to survive a zombie apocalypse. There's nothing better than watching a group of survivors trying to race across the countryside fending off hungry zombies. Different ideas bounced around my head for ages. I knew zombie stories were written primarily by men, but I decided to dive in headfirst anyway.

So I took a break from writing paranormal and romance to try the horror route. Some people ask me what my motivation was. I need no motivation because, frankly, I'm addicted to writing any kind of fantasy. I have this burning passion to tell a story. I can't tell you how many times I've lost sleep from 'the voices' in my head. I've read so much fantasy that I completely connect with it. It just feels perfectly natural for me to write what I love no matter what genre it is in fantasy. There's nothing cooler than writing about zombies. I enjoy every minute of it!

Another Space in Time Returns-Science Fiction by Richard Bunning

Okay, so the sequel hasn't got a very original title. This one is standalone, so yes there is a bit of repetition from Another Space in Time. Being a definite continuation, but also making the book self-contained demands this. All I can say is that I hope I got the balance right for most readers. There isn't a third book planned. So what do you need to know? This is very much a speculative fiction rather than hard core SF. The "hero" has been born again as an adult after having been murdered on Earth. The new planet is very earth-like in many respects, as is demanded by the requirements for human survival. We are a fairly fragile biological species. The book is everyman philosophical, exploring alienation on many levels. Rodwell having survived a terrorist plot in the first book, now goes undercover to help the police destroy the terrorist organization. His twin brother has preceded Rodwell into this new life, providing the opportunity for him to play the part of his sibling in order to infiltrate the terrorist hierarchy. So there are many mixed genre elements to this book, which I hope widens its appeal. I leave you all to judge that. I appreciate feedback, positive and negative. If I have had one consistent complaint, it is that I can be a bit longwinded, though most of these comments have also added that they felt the reading was worthwhile. This has resulted in me sometimes losing a star where that crude classification is demanded. The long style of writing in this first person book was deliberate, if inevitably not universally appreciated. I thank all of you that find the time to read my books, especially as we are increasingly spoilt for choice and constrained by time. http://www.amazon.com/Another-Space-Time-Returns-ebook/dp/B008IRHB6S

THE UNFINISHED ; A 1940's Futuristic Thriller book promotion by Patrice Williams Marks

THE UNFINISHED2 (Full Novel) to be released in 2013.  Sign up on my website's newsletter list to be notified of release.

"I really liked this story from screenwriter Patrice Williams. "The Unfinished" centers on a man brought back from the dead for 72 hours in order to identify his killer. It's written in a real conversational style, and builds up to a fun, surprising conclusion. I've already said too much."

Derek Haas, writer of films 3:10 to Yuma, Wanted, 2 Fast 2 Furious, Creator, NBC's Chicago Fire

I've been a writer since age 6 when I pinned the wildly successful (in my own mind) "The Day Snoopy Got Married." After that I was off to the races!

I've written over 10 screenplays; some of which have been optioned. Hoping one will make it to the big screen some day.

After reading short stories from Derek Haas' (bad-ass, big time screenwriter) website, aptly called Popcorn Fiction, where he features short stories from writers, I decided to give it a go.

I came up the idea of THE UNFINISHED from being a sci-fi fan, but also a die-hard TCM movie fan; (watch more b&w films from the 30′s and 40′s than current films). Love the idea of taking a character out of one world and implanting them in another… known as "fish out of water" stories.

THE UNFINISHED: In a future where the Unfinished (murdered) are brought back to life for only 72 hours to testify against their killers before being "put down" for eternity… an Unfinished is resurrected to what he believes is his one chance to point the finger at his accused killer.

He remembers the final details of his life; his boring job as a mattress salesman, the Dame he had high hopes for and the Mug who took his life.

Once brought back from the dead and taken to court, this Unfinished could never have imagined what was awaiting him.

Set in a world that is our future, giving homage to 1940′s detective noir stories, "The Unfinished" serves up a twist ending that will leave you wanting to follow his story to the end.

After reading the short story, you can read the first few pages of the full novel on my website for free.

Bombs & Believers - An international thriller by Ken Sonenclar

http://amzn.to/YZN1Bh

Two stories:  one born a thousand years ago, the other just weeks ago, but so deeply entwined they share a single, jolting resolution.   At the center of the whirlwind is the hunt for a priceless treasure that once dominated the heart of the civilized world, before disappearing without a trace.  And along the way:  terror, murder, love, betrayal, courage, envy, political intrigue, and redemption.


 "Read it in one day, as it carries you on a roller coaster from start to finish. Perfect for holidays or to keep you going on a global flight!"

 "Wish DaVinci Code hadn't taken itself so seriously - then it would have resulted in something almost as fun as Bombs and Believers."

 "It reminded me a lot of some of Preston & Child's books with a strong and interesting protagonist, woven together with a good bit of history."

"Bombs & Believers"...


A suicide attack on U.S. sailors in Istanbul leaves hundreds dead, triggering a global manhunt.

Meanwhile, Zander Blake, chief of the LAPD's Art Theft squad, is flying to London to address a landmark UN assembly on saving the world's most endangered treasures. He lands only in time to learn that the conference keynote speaker, a celebrated Harvard archaeologist, has just been coldly executed.

While the CIA struggles to track down the Istanbul terrorists and Scotland Yard conducts its rambling investigation, Penny Theobald, the Harvard professor's beautiful graduate assistant, presses Blake into probing the murder with her. The pair follow a trail marred by secrets, betrayal, and violence that leads them to Turkey and the professor's surprising connection to the terrorist attack, quickly pulling them into a diplomatic intrigue that threatens to ignite a new holy war, should the professor's fatal mission – and rumored discovery – come to light.

Eavesdropping FBI agents, an ambitious American curator, a cunning Oxford don, an antiquities dealer struggling with his own greed, a stunning assassin, intelligence operatives and bureaucrats intent on keeping Blake and Theobald at bay, and mind-bending riddles left by the professor himself – all stand between the pair and their ultimately frantic search for the truth.

"…a breathless ride, loaded with hairpin turns, booby traps, and surprises galore. Great fun to be had as the pages whiz by."


The Heart of Sitnatia - A fantasy novel by Adam Biggs

http://www.amazon.com/The-Heart-of-Sitnatia-ebook/dp/B00B4GVW06

Three ancient talismans have been found by four characters who, apparently, have nothing in common: the ruthless Reginald Catchpole and his sidekick Sid Slug, Amelia, a young gentle girl still at school, and Arthur Pound, a gentleman cat burglar. The adventure begins with an encounter with three mysterious guardians, who will take them to a far away land: the Island of Sitnatia. Little by little, as their journey progresses into the centre of the earth, Amelia, Arthur and Reginald begin to discover the truths and deceptions behind the appearance of what seemed at first an extraordinary adventure. A journey which nearly sees Amelia captured by the Gnarg (frightening people riding rat like creatures) and Reginald and Sid tackle an ancient evil witch who lives in an invisible giant bird-house. Helping the Vendra, a lost Roman legion, to reclaim their home island of Sitnatia by fighting back the hoards of Gnarg marching from the depths of the earth, they will reach the temple, at the heart of the volcano towering the island, where the final battle will take place. All they have to do now is struggle to destroy the talismans…  A wonderful fantasy novel with plenty of humour, for everyone to enjoy!

WEAPON OF FLESH - An action-filled fantasy novel by Chris A. Jackson

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005JS6FW0

 

Average Amazon rating of 4.4 stars with 66 reviews!

 

Sample Amazon customer reviews for Weapon of Flesh:

"Fantastic, everything I could want in a fantasy novel! Love, betrayal, freaking bone-crunching action. Wish the next book was out already, but worth the wait, in my opinion."

 

"Weapon of Flesh is a fabulous tale of medieval fantasy that will leave readers begging for more from author Chris A. Jackson."

 

"Excellent read, highly recommended."

 

 

A weapon is forged from flesh and magic.

 

Tattooed with magical runes to enhance his skills and suppress his emotions, Lad is raised from birth to be the most lethal assassin the world has ever known. He is the pinnacle of his master's magical and martial arts, a true weapon of flesh, all according to plan. Until the plan goes awry…

 

The Master is gone and the weapon is free. And in a dangerous world, a weapon does what a weapon is made to do. Or does he?

 

Alone for the first time, Lad's future is now in his own hands. He knows he has a destiny, but not what it is. Undeterred, he heads out into the world, and the weapon begins to become a person…

 

But a person is not what the Grandfather of Assassins has invested a fortune and nearly two decades to achieve. When his weapon does not arrive as promised, the Grandfather sets loose his hunters.

 

The only problem? No one thought a weapon of flesh would fall in love.


Now only death will release Lad from his servitude and save the woman he loves—the Grandfather's death…or his own.

 

Don't miss Weapon of Blood, the continuation of Lad's story, due out Summer 2013.

Titanic: Answer From The Deep-mainstream fiction by Britt Talley Daniel MD

KDP promotion on May 5-7 2013

Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/Titanic-Britt-Talley-Daniel-M-D/dp/1478105704

When I was in the sixth grade in 1956 I read an article in Reader's Digest about the sinking of the Titanic and I was hooked for life. Later when I wanted to write a book about it, before the Internet, I went to the downtown library in Dallas and read some articles from old yellow newspapers on microfiche but today a lot of research can be done within seconds at home through Google.  I read an article about a woman who was set to sail  from Southampton on the Titanic who had a dream the night before she left and then decided not to go.  I put this dream into my story as a dream by the main character. Anne Elizabeth, dreaming as a child in London about rockets going off on the surface of the Atlantic.  This seemed very spooky and special to me.  And so the whole story seems that way. Women and children first, husbands waiting on deck watching their wives descend in life boats below them to the surface of the water. A story full of what ifs:  no binoculars for the men on watch in the crow's nest, what if they had just gone straight into the iceberg, damaging maybe only 2 or 3 of the compartments but not 5 of them as the ship struck a glancing blow against the iceberg down her side, a nearby ship turned off her wireless too soon and could have saved all passengers if summoned, the same ship ignored the rockets indicating distress.  The whole story fills the mind.  I got the idea of merging a story of a family from London traveling to America on the Titanic with a grandson who later recovers family property from the sunken ship.  What he found on the floor of the Atlantic became Titanic:  The Answer From The Deep.

With an article written in 1956 in an obscure medical journal, Morris Bender, a neurologist at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, first described the temporary syndrome of memory loss.  After this medical articles started pouring in (1000 patients reported in 3 decades).  The key features of the syndrome:  onset of amnesia, the nature of the patient to repeatedly say the same thing over and again in spite of being instructed, "What has happened to me?" "What am I doing here?"  "What is the matter?"; the odd same situations that seem to bring the syndrome on:  swimming in the ocean, after strong emotion, after sexual intercourse; the normal general neurologic exam with testing, have captivated neurologists and patients for half a century.  The recent finding of small dots seen in the hippocampus several days after an attack on MRI scan, which later disappear, has further mystified doctors.  Something like 40% of patients with TGA have migraine.  This is the first textbook in 21 years on the subject and an interesting read for doctors or affected patients alike.

From the beautiful mountains and valleys of the nation that has given the world cheese with holes, chocolate, watches and cuckoo clocks, comes Jeffrey Robinson's Criminal Intent – THE SWISS WASH WHITER, an eBook original investigative tour de force that pulls the Wizard of Oz curtain back on the hypocrisy behind the dirty money headlines.

Mom and Pop Porn, How Suburban America Nearly Took Over The Adult Industry! - A Biography/Memoir by Andrew Davidson

http://www.amazon.com/Suburban-America-Nearly-Industry-ebook/dp/B00B7PAGWY

    Mom and Pop Porn, "How Suburban America Nearly Took Over the Adult Industry", is my story told over fifteen years. I have spent the past fifteen years running two different home based adult studios. The first was a miserable failure where I was squeezed out by credit card clearing companies and the mob, and the second put out over 800 exclusive titles after starting on a shoe string budget of $2,000 and Walmart bought VCRs. I had the very first "Internet only/started" adult studio that actually crossed over and obtained mass distribution in the real world. This book describes those fifteen years, my battles with the government, the government's assault on the industry through the John Ashcroft years, my search for distribution, and the many funny stories of dealing with the public as they submitted their homemade adult videos to be sold by my company.

    It also tells the story of how the adult industry is no longer the image most people think of. It is not a guy that looks like Ron Jeremy standing at a bus stop in a trench coat waiting for Midwestern girls to get off the next bus so that he can fill them with cocaine and exploit them. It is now moms and dads, regular people, your relatives, friends, and neighbors. I tell how these people worked from spare bedrooms and kitchen tables just to bring people a new "grass roots" style of pornography. We gave the mainstream adult industry and the government a run for their money. This is all true, and I honestly hope you enjoy it! Please keep in mind, I was a pornographer, not a seasoned writter!

Alex Hill is a gifted psychic.  When he was only twelve he was part of a team of paranormal investigators from a university who entered one of the most haunted places on Earth.  Alex was the only one to survive with his sanity.  After that he turned his back on his psychic powers in order to lead a normal life.  

Eighteen years later, as a successful Commercial Real Estate Agent, Alex has a wonderful girlfriend named Veronica Ross.  Veronica is also a police officer who is now investigating a strange accident where she was nearly run down.  The car responsible hit a tree right after missing her and the driver and passenger were pronounced dead a the scene.  But according to the coroner, both victims had already been dead for over ten hours.  And they hadn't died as the result of a car crash, they'd been drowned.

Alex feels his powers stirring once more and since his lady was nearly killed, he cannot ignore them.  Soon he'll discover where the driver and passenger drowned.  It was in a large stream underneath an old stone bridge located on the Graham Estate.  The very place he is now acting as the realtor for.  But this is only the beginning.  Local legend has it that a White Lady haunts the bridge, looking for the infant she lost there over two hundred years ago.  Strangely enough, sixteen years ago a pregnant teenage girl vanished from the estate and was never found. Veronica knew the girl and has never stopped investigating her disappearance.

Soon more bodies appear, all victims of drowning, even in dry empty rooms.  In each case the water used is traced back to the stream beneath the bridge.  And Alex, who has the most access to the estate, is becoming the prime suspect.   

Now he must embrace the very powers he turned his back on so long ago to clear himself.  But in doing so, he'll find a much bigger mystery.  One that dates back hundreds of years to a time before the first white men stepped foot in the new world.  And this will bring him face to face with a being that is, and is not, of this world.

Daughter of the King - historical Biblical fiction book promotion by Carlene Havel and Sharon Faucheux

Daughter of the King - historical Biblical fiction book promotion by Carlene Havel and Sharon Faucheux
Imagine living in an age when there were no automobiles, no electricity, no factories.  Slavery was tolerated, and families arranged marriages.

High-born daughters were traded to strengthen military alliances, gain political power, or appease enemies.  "Daughter of the King" is the story of a woman who lived in those times.

Princess Michal was the youngest daughter of ancient Israel's first king. More than thirty centuries ago, she fell in love with and married a young hero named David.  When Michal helped her husband escape from her insane father, King Saul punished his daughter by forcing her into a bigamous marriage.  Years after being banished, the Princess became a pawn in negotiations between Judea and Israel.  She was shattered to learn her family had been wiped out and David had acquired six additional wives. Michal longed to bear the son who would inherit David's throne.  Yet her rivals were equally ambitious for their sons.  Michal drew on her inner strength to survive disappointment, infidelity, and betrayal.

Co-authors by Carlene Havel and Sharon Faucheux quoted briefly from the King James Bible at the beginning of each chapter of "Daughter of the King" to guide the story's progress.  If the events of Princess Michal's life were not taken directly from the Bible, readers would never believe one woman's life could include so much drama!

Despite differences between our environment and the customs of centuries past, ancients and moderns are the same inside. Emotions such as love, hate, faith, greed, pride, and joy remain humanity's constants.

Flying Soup - a satire by Bobby Adair

http://www.amazon.com/Flying-Soup-ebook/dp/B00CD02ISW/ref=zg_bs_tab_pd_bsnr_2

Imagine that you're a computer nerd and avid bicycle rider, out breaking in your new $5000 bike. Now imagine that you get nailed by a hit-and-run driver, who only sticks around the scene of your accident long enough to make sure you're not dead.

 So you and the pieces of your former bike get a ride home from a passerby, where you complain to your techie roommates once again about how incredibly rude people are to cyclists. They've heard this from you before, of course, but this time, one of them decides that it's time for you document this shameful behavior.

 Your roommate rigs your old bike and your helmet out with front and rear video cameras, an idea you think is absolutely stupid until you unwittingly find that you've recorded someone throwing a soup can out of his car window at you – on purpose.

 But wait - Why try to imagine any of this?

 It's so much more fun to read about how this happens to Christian Trist, and what he and his zany sidekicks, Buster and Mohamed, decide to do about it.

 What they do in the end, of course, is to get filthy rich.

 But not before they launch a website called (what else?) Flying Soup.com, with the goal of giving a voice to victims of roadway rudeness. As luck would have it, the Flying Soup website goes viral, making the trio instant media darlings, and touching off what becomes a very personal vendetta with a crooked right-wing televangelist with one eye on the White House and another on his followers' wallets, and his presumptive running mate, the local double-dealing preacher who is much closer to the mystery of the flying soup than he would like for anyone to believe.

 Will the forces of techno-savvy good win out over the evils of mindless pop-culture propoganda?

 Stay tuned… And watch out for flying soup.

Pieces of You - a supernatural fiction by Joyce Elferdink

Amazon author page: https://www.amazon.com/author/jelferdink

Mark's son was waiting at the train station when his father was carried out on a stretcher. The doctor's diagnosis: semi-comatose; suspected cause: war injuries; prognosis for recovery: very good.

 While his body lies motionless in a Zurich clinic, his spirit becomes very active, and in a way that no observer could possibly suspect. On a journey through time and space, he is led by a spirit guide to relive three experiences that altered his life. Without the limitations of a physical body, Zachri is able to grant Mark the supernatural insight to draw him into the suffering of people affected by his decisions. He then visits his possible futures, one where a few people have almost total control over the masses, and an alternative future illustrating how the forces of heaven can be focused to intervene in earthly actions. Mark will soon be asked to choose between living out his life with the woman he loves or sacrificing their time together to allow her to survive in horrifying times.

The protagonist is a real person; the story chronicles his life's main events as the author attempts to discover where he now lives—in people she meets, in the heavenly realm, or somewhere in between...

A Good Liar - a historical novel by Ruth Sutton

Link to Amazon

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B008NV359G

'Jessie Whelan had been lying to her mother all her life.' The opening sentence heralds a story about family secrets and the corrosiveness of lies. Jessie is a feminist before feminism, a strong woman battling for her independence in a world where she could lose her job and her home if the secrets of her past were ever revealed.

She knows the risk of a love affair with a younger man, but follows her instinct, realizing too late that the line between passion and violence is very slender.

You may love Jessie, or hate her, or accept and understand her flaws as the inevitable consequence of her life and times. Jessie's world is rural northern England in the 1930s, before adoption, contraception and penicillin, where paraffin lamps lit the houses and horses pulled the ploughs. Women were expected to be dutiful, and disaster could visit those who strayed.

A Good Liar is Part 1 of a trilogy Between the Mountains and the Sea. Part 2 Forgiven will be published as an ebook in June 2013, and picks up Jessie's story ten years later in the gloom of post-war Cumberland. Try to read A Good Liar before then, to get the full picture of Jessie's troubled relationship with her son and her continuing struggle for personal survival.

I, Walter a historical fiction, adventure romance book promotion by Mike Hartner

I, Walter a historical fiction, adventure romance book promotion by Mike Hartner
I, Walter is the first book in a saga that will eventually bring readers to the 21st century.  It is as much a memoir as it is a historical fiction, and as I was writing it, I could very easily see certain actors portraying the characters in this book. 

There were also a few scenes that got deleted or heavily worked over before publication.   For instance, there's a scene in which Walter looks for better accomodations for his parents. In my mind, the landlord was an older lady, and when Walter tossed a coin, it spun past her on the ground. In my mind I saw her dive for it like it was a gift that she couldn't let escape.  I actually wrote it like that in the beginning.  In the end, the landlord was a male, and the response was a bit more dignified. 

One of the truly beautiful gems that was deleted in editing was during the conversation between Juan and Walter with Maria present.  In one of Juan's confessions, he mentions the reason that Maria was even on that boat from England in the first place.  MY editor had told me that that portion of the scene was 'pitch perfect' and yet, in the end, we killed that baby in favor of other parts of the conversation.  Now, readers will wonder why Maria was in that boat.

Living Backwards - a chick lit novel by Tracy Sweeney

http://www.amazon.com/Living-Backwards-Tracy-Sweeney/dp/1621371867

If you found yourself back in high school as an adult, could you pretend to be the same person you were at seventeen?  Jillan Cross thinks that she can even though she's found herself back in time with a pink, sparkly flask in her back pocket.  But pretending to be the girl she once was proves to be harder than she expected.

When she escapes behind the school gym for a tiny sip, she's led down a path she never would have imagined all those years ago.  There was no skipping class the first time around.  No sneaking off behind the school gym.  And there definitely wasn't a Luke Chambers.  Don't change the past?  One little change won't hurt, right?

"Exceptionally well developed characters and a well put together plot round this out to be an outstanding read." - Candy's Raves Blog

LIVING BACKWACKS, a debut novel by Tracy Sweeney, is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Virtualbookworm Publishing.

The Rich the Poor and the Foolish - a guide to wealth creation by Paul Liburd

http://www.amazon.com/The-Rich-Poor-Foolish-ebook/dp/B00C5O2U5W

This book will show you how to 'Have Your Cake and Eat It'. In other
words, you will learn how to buy what you need without actually
spending your own money.

The foolish borrow money and constantly live beyond their means. As a
result, they are continually paying off yesterday's debts and
therefore, never have enough money to enjoy today.

The poor generally avoid debt but are only a little better than the
foolish. They save diligently for the things that they need and then
spend all of their hard earned money on the goods and services for
which they have saved, after which they too are broke.

The rich on the other hand, never spend their money; instead they
invest it and only spend the cash-flow that their investments produce.
This little book will show you how to do just that.

No special qualifications or expert knowledge is required and you
don't even need a wage/salary increase. Armed with nothing but the
information found in this book, you can start today with whatever you
have and take your first step towards financial independence.

Take the 'Financial Aptitude Test' at the end of the book and then
strengthen your weak points by re-reading the relevant chapters. This
book will soon become your best friend and mentor. Good luck.

individual will need to know and understand before making this

Most of the information on the market today only talks about "How to

it does not help an individual that is in the decision-making phase.
This eBook fills a VOID for those that have NOT yet made their

hobby.

The sole mission of this eBook is to teach you all about the
advantages and disadvantages of being a Real Estate Agent...from
another Real Estate Agent BEFORE you invest your time, money and

guarantee you that it will: 1). Confirm your decision to pursue this
career; or 2). Keep you from making a costly mistake.
