I used to be a regular kid. I had a best friend and we hung out all the time.
That was before everything happened. That was before… The Monster.
It’s funny how something as simple as reading a book can turn your life upside down. How everything you thought you knew could turn on you.
I always hated nightmares, but at least I could wake up from a nightmare…

EXILE: A NEW BEGINNING by M.L. Dunker

EXILE: A NEW BEGINNING by M.L. Dunker

FREE October 9 -13. All remaining books in series $0.99 October 9-13.

The countries of Kerek, Vikland, and Matasi spent years squabbling like siblings. Royalty and softfoots alike tried to manipulate people and events to bring an end to the social injustice and crimes against those who look different and speak another language. Then the mad king of Kerek declared war.
Ngahuru gathered her Wrens – tailors, thieves, shopgirls, mimics, pickpockets, and beggars from the streets of Kerek City. All between the ages of 12 and 20, all ready to overthrow a corrupt King who has done nothing to make the world safe for them. Because for Ngahuru, revenge is a dish best served cold.
The Softfoots, Bima Ritwik of Vikland and Ngahuru of the West Islands played their spy games with any weapon at hand including the Wrens. But when the war ends abruptly, the network collapses through betrayal and violence. Not all of them will survive. Some will carry scars that will never fade. Vigilantes search for traitors, ragged soldiers look for someone to blame.

Who is still alive and who is not? What does the future look like when the people you love cannot be found? How can you search for someone when you don’t know where to look?

As the world turns upside down, what truths will remain, what promises will be kept?

EXILE: A NEW BEGINNING is part of The Tales of Zren Janin series. The stories are set in an imaginary South Pacific setting. If you like great worldbuilding, strong character growth, adventures and heart-pounding escapes amidst political intrigue, this series is for you!

About Featured Book: The Doctor Who Stole Christmas: A Forced Proximity Holiday Romance by K.C. Crowne

An enigmatic doctor.
His disgruntled nurse.
A wicked blizzard.
And only one bed in sight.
What could possibly go wrong?

I never expected to find myself trekking through a blizzard…
All to deliver “vital documents” to the elusive Dr. Grump’s remote cabin.

When I finally arrive I find a smoldering man,
Nearly a decade younger – with the petulance of an old grouch!

Now I’m snowed in with the impossibly handsome man child,
In a tiny one-bedroom cottage in the middle of nowhere.

But unlike the below freezing weather, his icy stare starts to melt….
And I wonder: Are the rumors about his cold-heart actually true?
Or is there more to this mysterious man than meets the eye?

This Erotica book is available in these Formats: eBook, Print

About Forged in Dragons’ Breath

In a world scarred by the aftermath of the Purging Wars, the struggle for control over the Territories rages on. Little is known about the enigmatic dragons, once companions to mankind. But within the depths of history lies the key to ultimate power—a lost artifact that can heal the world, or corrupt the one who possesses it.

For millennia, the Orb of Power has passed through the hands of countless men, its influence shaping destinies. Legends speak of its mythical companion, the Scepter of Might, whispered to be joined with the Orb only once in the annals of time.

Kheldour and his wife Maryna must unite the Orb and Scepter in a desperate race against time, but Maryna has her own secrets. The winner of this race will determine the destiny of both men and dragons.

Will Kheldour and Maryna triumph over the forces that seek to destroy them, or will their quest for redemption be their undoing?

I’ve recruited people, promoted people, dismissed people, investigated allegations, re-structured departments, written policies and procedures, dealt with real-life disasters and lived to tell the tale.

Crimson Roses by Tess Thompson

About Crimson Roses by Tess Thompson

She can’t outrun the nightmare from her past—

Pepper Chan tried to leave the scars of her abduction behind her when she joined her current veterinary practice. However, a chance encounter with Roddy Eastman, the brother of her former best friend, leaves her shaken and desperate to keep her distance. The last thing Pepper wants to do is relive the terrible ordeal from so many years ago. Her kidnapper was never caught, and Pepper is afraid to trust anyone.

—or avoid the terrifying omens in the present.

Attorney Roddy Eastman is determined to find out why Dr. Chan wants to avoid him. He tries to convince himself that his drive to seek out answers from her is just his concern for his sister’s friend and not something deeper—like his long-standing attraction to her since high school. The sudden murder of her boyfriend makes it clear that a deranged murderer is taunting Pepper, waiting for the right moment to strike. When Pepper reluctantly reaches out to him, Roddy offers her his help. Together, they must dig into her past to uncover the identity of the stalker before his twisted plans can become reality.

Twiceborn: Six Stories From the Future

About Twiceborn: Six Stories From the Future

“I love Kagmi’s characterization, but it’s the worldbuilding which sets her apart. Visions of the future should be shocking, and the unsettling alien world of “After the Upload” is what a very good future looks like.”

—Jamie Wahls, Nebula-nominated author of “Utopia, LOL”

“Kagmi plays out the implications of her imaginative concepts far beyond what most authors could dream up. She makes the unreal feel real.”

—David VonAllmen, Baen Fantasy Award-winning author of “Dragon’s Hand”

We all evolve. Our abilities, our bodies, and our opinions change. For the people in these stories, some changes are more radical than others.

Would you end one life to make way for another?

Would you leave the world you know for one more beautiful and dangerous?

If you could give humans immortality—and the dangerous powers that go with it—would you?

This collection of six stories spans three fictional universes whose citizens have solved the problem of mortality in different ways.

Each solution comes with a price we may someday be asked to pay.

The Legend Is Born

About The Legend Is Born

This faraway, pre-contact story begins with Helkena, a young, still untattooed girl enduring a typhoon crashing over the only island she has ever known. Her home is Wōtto, one of the dry, windswept atolls of the northern Marshall Islands. The newborn infant Ḷainjin has just been entrusted to her care by his mother, who has sailed her fleet of proas into the open ocean to save them from certain destruction.

Helkena, having barely survived the storm, must now travel to Naṃdik, a wet atoll in the southern rain belt of the Rālik Chain. As Ḷainjin’s surrogate mother, she will sail with the infant by outrigger canoe in the company of his maternal grandfathers. These kind men had recently helped the Wōtto Islanders overcome the terrible drought that typically follows a typhoon. With the trade-wind season approaching, it’s soon time to complete their voyage. The grandfathers begin teaching Helkena the traditional navigational arts along the way.

Her goal is to get her tattoos on Naṃdik and, in time, to find a man there to take home to Wōtto. But will she entice a man from the lush south to her barren desert island?

Far from being a simple story, this colorful, romantic tale presents a surprising background to the lovemaking culture of the Marshall Islands. It also reveals the early years of young Ḷainjin, the hero of the Legends of Ḷainjin historical literary fiction series
