noreply@blogger.com (flo) — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 14:21:00 +0000

Heaton's Reunion is for free download at her site and also at Smashwords

About the book,

For the Venia Law Keeper, Marise, returning home isn’t something she wants to do, but duty dictates that she must answer Lord Timur’s call for assistance and investigate the attempt on his life by a vampire. Faced with her old home, she tries hard to suppress the memories it evokes, of happier times in the arms of her ex-lover, Jascha, and of the darker times with him that led to her leaving.
She puts the atmosphere and looks she receives down to fear from the attempt to kill Timur, but when she lays eyes on her lord, she realises that it may be for another reason and that the attacker may not have been a vampire after all. Left with only one other source of information, a guard injured in the attack to a point beyond recovery and left to remain awaiting death, she decides to question him before he dies and then get the hell out of there.
Only when she sees that the dying guard is Jascha, she begins a battle with her heart that will see her struggle to turn her back on Jascha and her family again, and maintain her sense of duty. Is fifty years enough to forgive the one you love for breaking your heart? Will Marise finally confess to everything she’s held inside and kept hidden from him? And can Jascha convince Marise to listen to what he has to say and make her love him again?

Marsha Canham - Swept Away

noreply@blogger.com (flo) — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 15:53:00 +0000

Marsha Canham is offering a free copy of her novel, Swept Away for the ReadAnEbook week.

When a woman who's ready for love meets a dangerous, passionate man, she can easily get Swept Away....
Come to Regency England where a young woman rescues a mysterious man, only to find love, danger, destiny....
"They have to know the truth. Before it is too late." Those were the half-naked stranger's only words as he opened his eyes, looked into her soul, then lost consciousness in the shallow tidal pool. Annaleah Fairchilde, heiress and noblewoman, soon learned the identity of the man she saved: Emory Althorpe, adventurer, accused traitor, and Napoleon's spy. Even as she bound the dangerous scoundrel's wounds, she fell deeper under the spell of a man handsome as the devil, sent to her by fate.
He remembered nothing. Only the need to escape. Emory Althorpe was wanted for treason, yet his only hope was a shadowy memory hovering just beyond his grasp, and beautiful Anna, who aroused unexpected passions. He had no choice but to abduct her, needing her to gain access to London's ballrooms, where he could prove his innocence. Together they raced into the face of danger, determined to find the key to his past and live--or die--together, as destiny decreed....

Brian Keene - Deluge

noreply@blogger.com (flo) — Fri, 04 Mar 2011 13:33:00 +0000

Brian Keene has made Deluge the sequel to The Conqueror Worms available as a free web serial. It can be read on the author's website and the chapters are posted semi weekly. You can follow the serial only if you have read the first book as it takes off from where it ended in the earlier book.

So no blurb guys.. Go ahead and read it without spoiling your fun and enjoy the surprises..

But I can give you the plot summary of The Conqueror Worms

Taken from the Wikipedia,

Teddy Garnett tells this story of a global flood that has left humanity in tatters. Holed up in his mountain home, Teddy and his buddy Carl Seaton struggle through daily life, puzzling over things even stranger than a 40-day rainstorm, including the giant slime-coated holes that keep showing up in Teddy's yard. Before long, Teddy and Carl are fending off man-eating earthworms the size of buses. A helicopter crash nearby brings Kevin and Sarah, the last two survivors of an outpost in Baltimore, into Teddy's story; their tale makes up the even more bizarre second part of the book that explores, graphically, the insanity doom can inspire. It all leads to a slam-bang showdown back at Teddy's house with a creature so monstrous it scares even the killer annelids.

V.J.Chambers - Tortured

noreply@blogger.com (flo) — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 13:16:00 +0000

Tortured is the third book in the Jason and Azazel Trilogy by V.J.Chambers. It is a young adult romance and can be read online at the author's site. You can access the various chapters on the left sidebar.

About the book, taken from the author's website,

Since she arrived in Italy, Azazel hasn’t been able to stop having nightmares. Sometimes her boyfriend Jason is covered in blood, grinning at her like a demon. Sometimes there is a gun in her hand, and she’s shooting the people she loves the most. The only way to stop the dreams is to drown them in liquor.
Azazel can hardly concentrate on anything else. Not the library located in the Sol Solis School. Not the secrets about Jason’s origins they need to discover there. Not the prom. Not the fact that she can’t have orgasms.
Azazel feels like black water is closing over her head. And she doesn’t know if she can breathe anymore.

Scott Marlowe - The Five Elements

noreply@blogger.com (flo) — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 14:41:00 +0000

Hey everyone I have found another ongoing web novel serial. It's a fantasy/a-bit-of-scifi/adventure/young-adult story by Scott Marlowe and it's being serialized a chapter a week. Till date 16 chapters have been completed and 6 more are to be posted. Here you go.

Taken from the author's site,

Aaron and Shanna's friendship transcends social status. But where Aaron's brilliance has all but assured him a respected position amongst Norwynne's scholars, alchemists, and sorcerers, Shanna seems destined for a life of service and drudgery. Both of their lives are sent into a tailspin when, without warning, their home is laid waste by an elemental attack. In the resulting fallout, the two are separated. Aaron thinks Shanna killed, while Aaron himself is forced to flee for his life. For Shanna, the greatest adventure of her life is about to begin. For Aaron, it becomes the worst of nightmares: pursued by dwarves, hell hounds, and a demon who will not stop until he is dead, the only thing keeping him alive is his own resourcefulness and an eslar mercenary whose reputation as a killer might make him the worst threat of all.
Though Aaron and Shanna travel different paths, their purpose is joined when they individually learn of the mysterious Fifth Element. Shanna sees it as the final piece in the puzzle that is her destiny. To Aaron's logical mind, it is an impossible ambiguity. Whatever the answer, the Fifth Element draws them back together and into a final confrontation not as allies, but as adversaries.

About the book,

The Council for Exploration Into Worlds Unseen believed there was more to the world and its history than the empire had taught them. Treating ancient legends as history, they came a little too close to the truth. Betrayed by one of their own, the Council was torn apart before they could finish their work.

Forty years later, Maggie Sheffield just wants to leave the past behind. Memories of the Orphan House where she grew up are fading; memories of her guardians’ murder are harder to shake. When a dying friend shows up on her doorstep bearing the truth about the Seventh World–in the form of a written covenant with evil–Maggie is sent on a journey that will change her forever. Along with the Gifted gypsy Nicolas Fisher, who hears things no one else can, Maggie joins with the last surviving members of the Council and a group of eastern rebels led by a ploughman and a princess to discover the truth.

It won’t be easy. The Seventh World has long been controlled by the Blackness, and its monstrous forces are already on Maggie’s trail.
