Beneath a Blood Moon by RJ Blain

rj blainSara’s life turns upside down when someone leaves her a funerary urn, black roses, and death threats on her doorstep. Fearing her work as a stripper and showgirl has put her in the sights of a demented stalker, she turns to her best friend and fellow dancer for help.

Instead of a safe haven, all Sara finds is betrayal. Hunted by creatures she once believed were stories meant to frighten children, she is given a choice: become one of them, or die.

Forced to share her skin with a voracious carnivore and driven by instincts and desires too strong to resist, Sara must adapt to the changes in her life or be destroyed by them. Finding a mate is her wolf’s top priority.

If she doesn’t want to become another prostitute in a city full of them, Sara must learn to control the beast within. With a hungry wolf to feed and an empty bank account, selling herself to the highest bidder may be the only way she has to prevent becoming a monster driven to eat anything—or anyone—unfortunate enough to cross her path.

Meet the author, RJ Blain:

RJ BlainRJ Blain suffers from a Moleskine journal obsession, a pen fixation, and a terrible tendency to pun without warning. When she isn’t playing pretend, she likes to think she’s a cartographer and a sumi-e painter.

In her spare time, she daydreams about being a spy. Should that fail, her contingency plan involves tying her best of enemies to spinning wheels and quoting James Bond villains until she is satisfied.

Reading is as important to RJ as writing. Here are some of her favorite authors in no particular: Mercedes Lackey, Jim Butcher, Patricia Briggs, Madeline L’Engle, Anne McCaffrey, Lois McMaster Bujold, Grace Draven, Julia Kent, and Jenn Stark.

RJ Blain also writes dystopian science fiction (with a touch of odd humor) under the name of Trillian Anderson.

Take a Walk on the Dead Side by Jada Ryker

macey malloryMacey Malloy and Wikket, her cantankerous cat with a nose for crime, plunge headlong into danger when a stalker targets an innocent college student. Terrified for the girl, Macey tries to help her, only to be trapped in the web of deceit with tangled links to missing women.

Dodging stalkers and investigating disappearances doesn’t allow Macey much time for her love life . . . which is a hot mess. With good intentions, her detective boyfriend crosses the thin blue line from good to evil. The charismatic and dangerous man from her past keeps popping up in her present. Her almost-boyfriend employs his fart machine in matters of life, love, and death. A handsome stranger makes her shiver . . . with both attraction and the fear that he may be following a secret, deadly agenda connected with the cold cases of the women who’d vanished over fifteen years ago.

As if she doesn’t have enough on her plate, Macey Malloy contends with Stan Glee. The popular YouTube host is determined to cash in on her notoriety. Glee is convinced he’s marvelous, while she’s certain that he has issues.

Even with her grumpy cat’s help, will Macey Malloy solve the mysteries before it’s too late?

Sixth Street Bands Series Book 1 Free

If you’re looking for some free romance, here is book one in the Sixth Street Bands series.

Gone for You (Sixth Street Bands Series Book 1) by Jayne Frost

Sixth Street Bands As the guitarist for the rock band Caged, I know the rules: no relationships. No complications. Leave ‘em smiling when you go, but always go. Besides, it’s not like I’m ever in one place for more than a few days at a time. As the next hottest thing out of Austin, the band and I are riding the wave, and the music is all that matters.

Until her…

Lily Tennison has “complication” written across her beautiful face. But I can’t get involved. The timing’s all wrong. But she’s under my skin, and I can’t resist her troubled eyes and sweet smile. And I do have a little time to kill. Not much, just a few days in Dallas.

So I’ll scratch the itch and move on, like I always do.

Simple, right?

Note: You won’t need to turn up the heat—Sixth Street Bands Romances have plenty of steamy fun. This story can be read as a stand-alone but is part of the Sixth Street Bands music scene.

About the author of the Sixth Street Bands series, Jayne Frost:

Jayne FrostI guess I should start with the basics. The backstory. I was born and raised in California. At this point I’m usually asked what it was like to grow up near the beach, but sadly, I don’t know. I grew up in the “other” part of California. Perfect for an aspiring writer, if you ask me. You learn a lot about keeping yourself busy when the nearest house is a mile away…and it belongs to your grandparents.

By the time I went to high school, I started writing romance. Why? Because I met my very own prince charming. I wrote love poems in my journal about the green eyed boy that stole my heart. He promised, the way all storybook hero’s do, to sweep me away and take me on a grand adventure. And he did.
We picked up and moved to the Lone Star State, and began the story of us. The best stories begin without a road map or a compass. Veering off course makes the journey so much more interesting.

True to form, just when I thought my life was set, we started the next adventure. I traded in my cowboy boots and followed my green eyed boy to Las Vegas. My home will always be in Texas, but my heart is anywhere that he is.

Writing is what I love. I might stray from the romance every now and then if that is what moves me…but I always come back. Some of the stories don’t seem romantic at all. They are gritty stories about flawed characters that find each other and hold on tight. Those are the stories that speak to me. Because that’s life. I believe that every story should have a happy ending- even the difficult ones.

The Moonstone (Enchantment Book 1) by Evelyne Contant

Enchantment Book 1Fear, love… and betrayal; that’s what I feel about my new life.
It’s a life I never asked for, at least not like that.

I certainly dreamed of adventure, of escaping from my ordinary life, but nothing prepared me for what would happen when my normal life flipped upside down.

On that fateful day, a witch, a real one, revealed to me that I’m not human! That’s right, I, Lou Mills, am an enchanter like her! It seems that I’m the key to an ancient prophecy and that I must save the world from the imminent war between humans and enchanters. What waits makes no sense; in fact, nothing seems to make sense to me since meeting her.

And then there’s this man…dark and mysterious…but so attractive. If only I could forget him. Duality is the way the Earth remains in balance, black and white, right and wrong, love and hate. What side should I fight for when the war finally breaks out? How to choose between my family…and the people who I belong to?

Excerpts from Amazon reviews of The Moonstone, Enchantment Book 1:

“What a great book. I’m still thinking about it and it’s been a few hours. I’m just a huge fan of the world Evelyne Contant created.”

“From the likable, genuine characters to the magical discoveries that just kept coming, Moonstone, Enchantment Book 1 was pure pleasure from beginning to end.”

“Anyone who has ever felt out of place will love this book. I couldn’t put it down. Can’t wait for the next installment.”

 Flight of the Wren by Atthys J. Gage

adventure fantasy“A great combination of fantasy, adventure, and romance…an engaging and enjoyable read.” — Publisher’s Weekly.

“The Arcane Order of Carpet Flyers! The Sublime Society of Scudders! Didn’t you read the contract I sent you, Miss Drake?”

Sure, Renny had read it. Obviously it was some kind of joke. And this guy with the flakes of pie crust in his beard, he is obviously some kind of whacko.

But no. Parnell Florian is no whacko — and Maysa, the ancient silk-brocade carpet now rolled up under Renny’s bed, is no joke. It really can fly, and Renny’s life just got a whole lot more interesting. And when she meets the other members of her flock, life gets more interesting still — particularly a boy called Stonechat, who seems to find her pretty interesting as well.

But when a vengeful rug-rider called Mistral kidnaps Parnell and steals the all-important Orb of Descrying, Renny and the ragtag flock of misfits must ride to the rescue — or else face an adversary who can control their very dreams. One by one, all the people Renny has come to care about fall into Mistral’s hands, and she must find courage and ingenuity she never knew she had.

A fast-moving adventure fantasy, Flight of the Wren is, at its core, a story of family. Estranged from her mentally-ill mother, bounced from one foster home to another, Renny feels no connection to anyone in her life. In her darkest moments she fears that she will never really care about anyone…only to find out that having someone you really care about can be the scariest thing of all.

And that sometimes the hardest part of flying is just learning to hang on.

About the author of this adventure fantasy, Atthys J. Gage:

Adventure fantasy author, Atthys J. GageAtthys Gage is a writer with a lifelong love for myth, magic, and books. His second real job was in a bookstore. As was his third, fourth, fifth and sixth. Eventually, he stopped trying to sell books and started writing them. He has always had a fascination for that cloudy borderline between the normal and the paranormal and spends a lot of his time thinking about flying carpets and sentient flecks of alien consciousness and other stuff like that. In the so-called normal world, he lives on the coast of Northern California with his long-suffering wife, strong-willed children, and several indifferent chickens.

Do Anything – A Mysterious Science Fiction Tale (Tales of the Unusual) by Luke Smitherd 

unusualFROM THE AUTHOR OF THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER ‘THE STONE MAN’

In DO ANYTHING, Luke Smitherd brings you two more Tales Of The Unusual:

CLOSURE: A winter walk in the woods seemed like a great idea to Gary and his wife, Carla. But when another version of himself appears and kidnaps Gary’s wife before his very eyes, Gary must decide whether or not to use the strange mechanical devices his duplicate has left him … and then live with the choice.

YOUR NAME IS IN THE BOOK: When John was eleven years old, he came home to find a book he’d never seen before lying on his bed. The cover had been torn off, and inside it were endless lists of names – some of which belonged to people he knew – with a single number behind each one. That was his first glimpse into a darker reality than he could have ever imagined, because even though couldn’t know it at the time, that mysterious book would go on to affect every facet of the rest of his life. And potentially, hold the key to his death.

PRAISE FOR LUKE SMITHERD’S WRITING:

“A novel that intrigues, enthralls, horrifies, thrills, and hits the reader with an emotional resonance as only the best stories can.” Ain’tItCoolNews.com
“Strong characterization, moral quandaries, mystery, and a whole lot of tense moments. Reading the final sentence was truly a bittersweet moment. ” SFsignal.com, Hugo award-winning website

Luke Smitherd again plumbs the depths of his unique imagination to give us two more stories that amaze! This is the freshest, most original writing I have had the pleasure of reading.BSM, Amazon Customer

So tense and totally enthralling. So much going on in this book- the experiences and back-stories, and timeline changes, and the changing views make for a very, very exciting read. This author really knows how to weave a tale using alternate universes to make the reader question everything around them, and every decision they make, right down to the minutia and routine.katrina, Amazon Customer

The Stone Man – A Science Fiction Thriller by Luke Smitherd

Science Fiction ThrillerTHE #1 AMAZON BESTSELLER, SHORTLISTED FOR AUDIBLE UK’S BOOK OF THE YEAR 2015 AWARD
“THE STONE MAN is a novel that intrigues, enthralls, horrifies, thrills, and hits the reader with an emotional resonance as only the best stories can.”
–Ain’t It Cool News

Nobody knew where it came from.
Nobody knew why it came.
When an eight feet tall man made of stone appears in the middle of a busy city centre one July afternoon, two-bit (and antisocial) reporter Andy Pointer assumes it’s just a publicity stunt. Indeed, so does everyone else … until the Stone Man begins to walk, heading silently through the wall of the nearest building, flattening it and killing several people inside as a result.

As efforts by the local police – and soon, the government – to halt the Stone Man’s inexorable progress prove futile, only three questions are on the watching world’s lips:
Where has it come from, where is it going, and what does it want?

Andy is determined to be the first person to answer those questions; after all, he was there when it arrived. Surely the headaches and visions he’s experiencing are proof of a mental connection to The Stone Man? Clearly his dreams of champagne and notoriety are all about to be fulfilled once he uncovers the truth … and the scoop of a lifetime.

In a pursuit that carries him the length of the country and the breadth of the Atlantic, Andy uncovers the jagged pieces of an increasingly terrifying puzzle. As the number of lives lost in the wake of the Stone Man reaches grim figures, the terrible results of Andy’s blind determination force him to confront the savagery of human nature.
When irresistible forces aren’t met by immovable objects, how far is too far? Andy must discover the answer – and find out who he really is – in the shadow of the Stone Man.
