Thicker Than Water
by Greg Sisco

Tyr and Loki are not your teenage sister’s vampires. Their skin is not covered in glitter. They do not drink the blood of possums instead of humans. They view humanity as a secondary species; they have mastered the skill of manipulating and seducing women; and if you find yourself in a room with them, don’t expect the opportunity to say goodbye to your loved ones.

Since the Crusades, the Blood Brothers have waged war on all things wholesome. They have terrorized mankind with their hedonistic and brutal theatrics every night for a thousand years.

Thicker Than Water, the first novel in the Blood Brothers series, spans from Tombstone, Arizona in 1893 to Las Vegas, Nevada in 1999. After Tyr sparks a feud with his domineering brother by impaling him to a wall and abandoning their relationship, a story unfolds weaving together vampires, brothel owners, gunmen, prostitutes, and buckets of innocent blood in a twisted orgy of sex, murder, revenge, romance, betrayal, and brotherly love.

Death on a High Floor
by Charles Rosenberg

When the much-despised Marbury Marfan senior partner Simon Rafer turns up dead, with an ornate dagger buried between his shoulder blades, it comes as a surprise to no one. Simon was an abusive boss and had recently been on the warpath, clearing the "dead wood" from the legal firm he treated as his personal fiefdom. Nearly a thousand attorneys and associates, scattered across four continents, had good reason to want Rafer dead, but homicide Detective Spritz has his eye trained on Marbury Marfan partner Robert Tarza, in particular. Tarza and his friend and colleague---and maybe a bit more---Jenna are soon forced to play detective themselves, in a race to find the real killer or killers before Spritz finishes assembling a collection of evidence that will make a very credible case against Tarza.

Containment
by Christian Cantrell

As Earth's ability to support human life begins to diminish at an alarming rate, the Global Space Agency is formed with a single mandate: protect humanity from extinction by colonizing the solar system as quickly as possible. Venus, being almost the same mass as Earth, is chosen over Mars as humanity’s first permanent steppingstone into the universe.

Arik Ockley is part of the first generation to be born and raised off-Earth. After a puzzling accident, Arik wakes up to find that his wife is almost three months pregnant. Since the colony’s environmental systems cannot safely support any increases in population, Arik immediately resumes his work on AP, or artificial photosynthesis, in order to save the life of his unborn child. Arik’s new and frantic research uncovers startling truths about the planet, and about the distorted reality the founders of the colony have constructed for Arik’s entire generation. Everything Arik has ever known is called into question, and he must figure out the right path for himself, his wife, and his unborn daughter.

"Kath Russell weaves three absorbing tales of spectral justice, blending reality with legend to leave readers guessing to the haunting conclusions."
―Rochelle Staab, national bestselling author of Who Do, Voodoo?

"All three stories in Kath Russell’s Ghostly Tidewater Trilogy: The Ghost of John Wilkes Booth, Ghost of a Smile and The Ghost of Lyon Lodge, demonstrate the author’s uncanny ability to place the reader right in middle of the story, feeling the weather, smelling the air, feeling the characters’ convictions—and their turmoil as events unfold. Highly recommended, a marvelous melding of legend, myth and imagination."
—Dennis Berry, author, Mommie Dearest

"An endangered raptor, a greedy developer, a free-spirited artist, and helpful ghosts make these tales of murder and mischief in the Tidewater region a thoroughly entertaining way to pass a few hours.

Book Description:

Ghostly Tidewater Trilogy, by Kath Russell, is a collection of three contemporary stories featuring spirits who haunt the waterways, shores and marshes of the Old Line State and the mortals who encounter them.

The restless shade of John Wilkes Booth wanders his escape route to Virginia in search of the horse he abandoned on the Maryland shore, Moll Dyer, accused of witchcraft long ago, returns to the scene of her tragic death on a stormy winter night and a mysterious spirit watches over troubling events on a tidewater college campus.

Maryland is home to the Poe gravesite, the Blair Witch Project and many other spooky connections and legends. Maryland ghosts are charming and chilly, horrible and helpful, vengeful and protective—apparitions to suit every paranormal taste. When it comes to certain geographies, like the Sleepy Hollow of the immortal Washington Irving tale or the House of the Seven Gables in Salem, Nathaniel Hawthorne's witchy setting, readers just know they are in for a satisfyingly supernatural encounter.

Cloudburst
by Ryne Douglas Pearson

A gripping blend of techno-thriller and detective story, Pearson's first novel is set in an all-too-convincing near future. The American President is assassinated in L.A. by a terrorist suicide squad. Shortly thereafter, an American 747 is hijacked to Libya, and when it sets off on its return flight home, it is carrying a deadly device, the second step in a plot by Libyan leader Muammar Khadafy, who plans to destroy Washington, D.C., in a nuclear holocaust. As Pearson's carefully structured plot unfolds, the FBI hunts down the terrorists' supporters while Delta Force moves to recapture the plane. Only the cooperation of Fidel Castro can save the aircraft and its passengers. FBI agent Art Jefferson, Delta Force captain Sean Graber, pilot Bart Hendrickson and other players are effectively characterized in economical prose. The suspense runs at a high pitch right up to the tense confrontation between Delta Force and the terrorists--at 20,000 feet over the Atlantic, with no room for error or hesitation. Genre fans will find this a must for midsummer reading.

These Hellish Happenings
by Jennifer Rainey

In 1707, hapless vampire Jack Bentley made a pact with the Devil in order to escape a vampire hunt. Dealing with Satan seemed better than your standard angry mob at the time. But three centuries later, Satan is ready to collect His dues, whether the vampire likes it or not. He's taking Jack down to Hell, and He's even got a job picked out for him down below: an eternal position at the Registration Office of the Damned. Jack attempts to adjust to life on the Administrative Level of Hell where fire and brimstone have been replaced by board meetings and the occasional broken copier. But the whiny complaints of the recently-deceased and the legions of suited, cookie-cutter demons are the least of his problems. Try adding to the equation a dead ex-lover, a dangerous attraction to his high-ranking demon companion, Alexander Ridner, and the sticky and distorted anti-vampire politics of a Hell that is surprisingly like our own world.

Kindle Author Interview: Ruth Francisco

2012-01-28T08:40:00.000-08:00

Ruth Francisco discusses her new book, Sunshine Highway.

DAVID WISEHART: Tell us about your book.

RUTH FRANCISCO: My LA friends have been wondering what I’ve been doing in Florida for the past few years. Well, I’ve been writing a book, which portrays the Florida Panhandle with all of its splendiferous beauty, and equally splendiferous political corruption. If you like Carl Hiaasen, I think you’ll enjoy it.

Three sheets to the wind, Sheriff Bill Crocker drives home late at night on a country road, swerving into a woman and her young daughter, who sit in a parked car. He knows the law, he knows what’s right, but in a panic—a moment of supreme stupidity—he takes off into the dark.

When he gets home Crocker realizes how devastating a hit-and-run will be to his career. But he cannot begin to imagine the aftershocks that will ripple through his community. People lose jobs, marriages break down, children commit crimes, homes are lost, schools are disrupted—the community is ripped asunder. He does the worst thing he could possible do—he tries to cover it up.

Enter hotshot investigative reporter, Clive Johnson, an ivy-league educated African American, who finds Southern vestiges of racism and cronyism baffling. He begins to dig around, uncovering corruption, fraud, misuse of public office, and possibly murder.

Crocker fights back, using all his old tricks. But when a human skeleton shows up in a sinkhole, Crocker’s little empire begins to unravel, revealing horrifying secrets from the past.

Evocative and poetic, rich with Southern imagery, deep with emotion and humor, Sunshine Highway is an epic saga about the struggle of the South to shake itself free from a painful past to join the twenty-first century.

DAVID WISEHART: What inspired you to write the book?

RUTH FRANCISCO: Like one of the characters in the book, Summer Dayes, I first drove across the country from LA to the Florida Panhandle in early October. A million monarch butterflies surrounded my car. The next morning I woke up to see herons and egrets diving for fish in the canal, and white squirrels jumping between the pine trees. I was in awe of all the wild life, and it felt like this is the way life should be. At one with the animals.

Then a local sheriff was charged with a hit-and-run, which turned the little community upside down.

So this is the basis of my novel, beauty and corruption, and a small community along the Gulf Coast trying to make sense of the world.

DAVID WISEHART: How long did it take to write the book?

RUTH FRANCISCO: About a year and a half. As I have done in the past, I first published a short story for The Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, which was published in May 2010. That gave me the confidence to make it into a novel. BTW, I suggest this technique to all writers—first write a short story, get the feel for the characters and place, and sell it. Then work on the novel. This creates a ready readership for your novel when it comes out—all those readers want to know WHAT HAPPENED.

DAVID WISEHART: Talk about the writing process. Did you have a writing routine? Did you do any research, and if so, what did that involve?

RUTH FRANCISCO: Usually I do several months of research for a book, develop a story, and start writing, turning out a first draft in four or five months. I set it aside for a while, then do extensive editing. But this book was so much about where I lived. So much of what I have experienced here has made its way into the book. So the book took longer than some because I first had to experience it before I could write about it. A lot of local color.

DAVID WISEHART: Who are your favorite writers? What are you influences?

RUTH FRANCISCO: Joyce Carol Oates, Ruth Rendell, Stephen King, Michael Connelly. I also think the films of Hitchcock have influenced me a great deal. I guess my tastes run to the dark side, but what I love more is to write characters who yearn for something greater than themselves. Characters who risk everything to discover who they are.

DAVID WISEHART: What do you hope your readers come away with after reading your book?

RUTH FRANCISCO: This is a fast-paced mystery/thriller, so I hope to entertain. But there is much to think about.

What is fascinating about this part of Florida is how close everyone feels to nature. It’s a huge part of their lives—from fishermen to retirees, to artists and conservationists, to worm grunters—you’ll have to read the book to learn about them. So, within the confines of a murder mystery, I wanted to show this almost Native American spirituality that pervades people’s lives here. Even the corrupt sheriff.

And I want the reader to fall in love with the Panhandle.

DAVID WISEHART: What is your background?

RUTH FRANCISCO: I worked in the film industry for many years in production, screenwriting, and promotion. My first book, Confessions of a Deathmaiden was published by Warner Books in 2003, followed by Good Morning, Darkness and The Secret Memoirs of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. After the wild success of my first Kindle novel Amsterdam 2012, I published three other novels, available exclusively on Kindle. It’s been a great ride.

DAVID WISEHART: Thanks, and best of luck with your books.

The Dragon Horn
by Vaughn Heppner

There were no prophecies concerning Ivan, no strange heritages, no noble blood and he had no magical powers. He was Belgorod Holding’s dog boy, a hard-working orphan who took care of the hounds. His greatest gifts were plain common sense and fierce loyalty to his friends.

Then one day, an arrogant, silver-haired knight with a band of ruffians arrived by sleigh. The knight had a letter from the king, allowing him to hire farmers with his bag of gold. He wanted help to dig for treasure in the Old Forest.

Bad luck followed the knight’s arrival. Giant wolves began to appear. A strange flute played in the forest at twilight, luring a calf to its death. Then Yury the Squire almost died while hunting with the visitors. It was an evil time to go into the forest.

Ivan soon knew that the knight was not who he seemed. The treasure was for more than gold and the lives of his friends and the fate of a kingdom rested on him and the courage of his dogs.

The Lion, the Lamb, the Hunted
by Andrew E. Kaufman

From Andrew E. Kaufman, author of the #1 bestseller, While the Savage Sleeps...

SHE ONLY STEPPED OUTSIDE FOR A MINUTE...

But a minute was all it took to turn Jean Kingsley's world upside down--a minute she'd regret for the rest of her life.

STEPPING INTO HER WORST NIGHTMARE...

Because when she returned, she found an open bedroom window and her three-year-old son, Nathan, gone. The boy would never be seen again.  

A NIGHTMARE THAT ONLY BECAME WORSE.

A tip leads detectives to the killer, a repeat sex offender, and inside his apartment, a gruesome discovery. A slam-dunk trial sends him off to death row, then several years later, to the electric chair.  

CASE CLOSED. JUSTICE SERVED...OR WAS IT?

Now, more than thirty years later, Patrick Bannister unwittingly stumbles across evidence among his dead mother's belongings--it paints her as the killer and her brother, a wealthy and powerful senator, as the one pulling the strings.

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED TO NATHAN KINGSLEY?

There's a hole in the case a mile wide, and Patrick is determined to close it. But what he doesn't know is that the closer he moves toward the truth, the more he's putting his life on the line, that he’s become the hunted. Someone's hiding a dark secret and will stop at nothing to keep it that way.

The clock is ticking, the walls are closing, and the stakes are getting higher as he races to find a killer--one who's hot on his trail. One who's out for his blood.

As the two grow apart, Nicole makes decisions that may ultimately shatter her fragile marriage.

Her life changes on the afternoon she receives a phone call from the harbor. During a scuba dive, Truman disappears. No one -- not his diving instructor, not the Coast Guard -- can find him. Is he still alive? Or is grief making her believe the impossible?

A battle of wills leads to love.

AN UNCONVENTIONAL WOMAN

Spirited Savannah Connor is passionately committed to stamping out social injustice. Yet when she arrives in Pilot Isle, North Carolina, ready to take up a new cause, she quickly finds herself on the outs with the town constable. Zachariah Garrett is the most arrogant, infuriating, maddeningly attractive man it's ever been her misfortune to meet. And suddenly, Savannah is fighting a whole new battle—this one against her own yearning for a man who is impossible to resist.

Ever since his wife's death two years ago, Zachariah Garrett has dedicated his life to keeping the peace. And avoiding love. But Savannah Connor isn't an ordinary woman—and she proves hard to ignore. She's a beguiling beauty with the power to awaken emotions Zach thought he'd never feel again, and the tenderness to help him forget his fears. And risk his heart once more.

About the Author:

Tracy’s story telling career began when she picked up a copy of LaVyrle Spencer’s Vows on a college beach trip. A journalism degree and a thousand romance novels later, she decided to try her hand at writing a southern version of the perfect love story. With a great deal of luck and more than a bit of perseverance, she sold her first novel to Kensington Publishing.

When not writing sensual stories featuring complex characters and lush settings, Tracy can be found reading romance, snowboarding, watching college football and figuring out how she can get to 100 countries before she kicks (which is a more difficult endeavor than it used to be with her four-year-old son in tow). After stops in France, Switzerland and Taiwan, she now lives in the south. However, after spending a few years in “the city”, she considers herself a New Yorker at heart.

Tracy has been awarded the National Reader’s Choice, the Write Touch and the Beacon—with finalist nominations in the HOLT Medallion, Heart of Romance, Rising Stars and Reader’s Choice. Her books have been translated into German, Dutch, Portuguese and Spanish. She loves hearing from readers about why she tends to pit her hero and heroine against each other and that great novel she simply must order in five seconds on her Kindle.

Book Excerpt from the Prequel, Tides of Love:

"Oh, heavens, Constable, is that a call for marriage in your world? I've never been kissed well enough to get me in front of a preacher." Covering her mouth with her hand, she gasped, "Must be some—what would you call it—mighty fine kissing to make people take vows."

"Well," he said, feeling a frown bunch his brow, "it could be good. That's not out of the realm of possibility."

"Prove it," she said around another burst of laughter. "Prove it, prove it, prove it."

He rubbed a hand across his chin, debating the wisdom of having any more wine. Had he actually thought he was in control of this situation? "I don't know. This all seems crazy to me. And it was my idea."

She gulped a breath and patted her chest. "My, from the fantastic entertainment I've witnessed in this town, I'm sure it does." Taking a step forward, she held out her hand, as if she were trying hard not to startle him. It was downright insulting. "Rightly, Constable, you asked me first. And I'm willing to go the distance to solve a disagreement."

"I bet you're always willing," Zach muttered, wondering if he'd lost his mind sitting in his backyard on a lovely twilight evening. Gambling with a woman who wouldn't back down if a tiger had her latched in its jaws.

"Are you willing?"

Through the shadows, he found her gleaming eyes, her slightly curved mouth. "No, it's too reckless. Too irresponsible."

"You're sounding like a father. Or a constable, Constable."

"I'm both, Miss Connor."

He watched her lips tilt and flow into a glorious smile. "Rory's in bed, safe and sound. Most of the town is in bed, safe and sound. And you're here, with a pragmatic woman who can take care of herself. Two adults and one magnificent challenge."

"More like a dare," he said and drained his glass.

She took a step closer, until her skirt brushed his knee. "Call it a dare if you like."

"No." His resolve slipped a notch when she crouched before him, the pleasing angles of her face flooding into view. She was much, much too tempting.

"I'll do it all. You don't have to participate. That should be enough to prove my case."

"I wasn't serious when I said that. I'm sure you're not, hell, frigid."

She leaned in, her hands sliding along the arms of the chair, her face fading out of view as it closed in on his. A scent, provocative and earthy, stole in with his stuttered breath. "You see, Constable, I'm always serious. And..."

He watched her moisten her lips, so near he could almost taste her.

"Close your eyes. I've heard that's the way it's done."

Somebody Tell Aunt Tillie She's Dead
by Christiana Miller

A little magic can go a long way -- to really screwing up a girl's life!

Mara is having the worst month of her life. At least, that's what her cards tell her and they've never been wrong. She's evicted from her apartment, loses her job and is banned from Beverly Hills. So when the tarot cards predict her imminent demise, she uses a little magic to make her world right.

Suddenly, an aunt she's never met dies, leaving Mara as her sole heir. But when Mara moves into her inherited home, she discovers Aunt Tillie never moved out. She's still one pissed-off old lady, even post-mortem, and she blames Mara's magical meddling for her death.

When Mara accidentally releases a demon and awakens the spirit of the most powerful witch in history, Tillie's ready to kill her -- literally. It's the only way she can think of to save the girl from herself.

The witch and the demon, however, have other plans for Mara's body!
