Storm Dragon
Storm Dragon Frances Pauli
Is There A Dragon In You?
I never should have let Steph drag me to that Psychic Fair. Metaphysical nonsense doesn’t suit me, Seattle doesn't suit me, and I think I might be allergic to patchouli. I’m definitely allergic to car accidents, to giant elk falling from the sky, and most importantly, to the huge, blue dragon that’s attached its obnoxious tail to my navel.
Just try having a smart-ass dragon nattering in your brain twenty-four-seven. Better yet, don’t try it. I recommend skipping the entire, batshit crazy, ordeal. Avoid black cats. Don’t get that Reiki treatment, and definitely don’t wake up alone, surrounded by other dragons who know way more than you do about what the hell is going on.

Salvage Rat—An excerpt
Salvage Rat—An excerpt Larry N. Martin
Star Force pilot and hero Wyatt McCoy left his medals and career behind after the Rim Wars, disillusioned and bitter when he learns the truths behind the conflict. He takes his converted gunship, the Nellie B, and heads to the Near Fringe, salvaging derelict ships and abandoned mining colonies. Dr. Beth Parker is a space archeologist, documenting the history of planetary expansion and colonization for Kalok Enterprises. A piece of alien technology embeds itself in Beth’s arm, giving her the ability to see the energy impressions of long ago people and events. When Beth uncovers proof of genocide that could bring down the big mining companies, she’s the target of assassins. Wyatt makes a split-second decision to intervene, launching them both into a high-stakes cat-and-mouse game.

The Owl is sought after, but so is Lady Ruth, and making sure that she remains free to pursue her inventions may take every ounce of her cunning.

To be different…
My entire life I’ve always been different from everyone else, and in Lytonia, being different is treated as a crime. In my case, I was granted a pass. I was given a second chance to prove that I could fall in line, but with my lack of power, that would be impossible.
In only a few months, I must present my abilities to the council and prove to them that I am worthy of walking the halls of Monroe Academy, but Artemis, my tormentor and superior officer, will stop at nothing to keep me from excelling. Being powerless and not proving myself means that I could be made a slave, and Artemis would become my master.

No, don't ask me what their names were, darling, I'm not an almanac..."

Un-tameable PREVIEW E Darkwood
A host is a promise of a new life.
A human host, is a valuable commodity. But for Security Subsection 30 Tier 110 Cubicle 350 Enforcer Rank 1, a lone member of the dominant species who at the lowest rank possible isn't dominating anybody, *both* are clearly an unattainable dream.
Until today.
For on this particular day the offer of a lifetime will be made.
However all is not as it seems, for to be offered a host is 'an impossibility for someone like her' or so she has repeatedly been told.
Which begs the question, which is worse? To live out her days floating in the safety of her isolated bubble or risking it all on a host who rumour has it has been branded as hopeless to tame?

But that rule was broken the moment I met Jackie.

BLOODLINES: The League of Twelve
BLOODLINES: The League of Twelve K, Matthews N. Fishfish
What's your sign? What if your birth sign was more than a cliché blurb in the newspaper? What if, instead, you were fated to inherit supernatural powers and the responsibility of safeguarding otherworldly beings?
Sebastian Shea, a new member of The League of Twelve, has always known he would inherit the Cancer astral key from his father and use it to open a portal to another world. What he doesn’t know is what will be waiting for him when he returns home.
Attacked by Marcus, his father’s identical twin, and left for dead, Sebastian knows his only chance to live long enough to regain his key and take revenge is to make it to the City of Radiance.
Will Sebastian survive to get retribution? Will the other league members rally in time or will Marcus take even more from them?

A daunting task of astrology meets speculation, not in abstract, like Aleister Crowley once did, but in everydaylife words we all can understand! K, Matthews and N. Fishfish go for their very own, unique blend of the literal and the symbolical about the 12 astrological houses aka star signs, and embed it into their own alternative reality. There seems to be loads of thrill, the kind, which only proverbial reading between the lines, comparing, if authors and readers come to the same conclusions, can deliver! Splendid idea.
I love this take on the zodiac signs and how they gift magic and open portals! Such an intriguing concept -- can't wait!
Cool premise. Love the cover.
A great way of looking at star signs and turning it into real life adventure
Riveting. A portal to another world. If you like fantasy and magical realism, "Bloodlines" will be right up your alley!

When Venick is caught wandering the elflands, he knows the penalty is death. Desperate, he lies about his identity in hopes the elves will spare his life.
Ellina doesn't trust the human, and not merely because he speaks the language of men. Men lie. In elvish, however, lying is impossible. In a moment of intuition, Ellina decides to give Venick a chance: learn elvish, reveal his truths, and she will set him free.
That is not, of course, what happens.
As Ellina and Venick come to know each other, their feelings start to shift. Then Venick uncovers a dark secret, and suddenly the fate of the elflands seems to rest in his hands. But will Venick risk his life to save an elf he's not allowed to love?

That was a rule that applied to all but Rayah Bardeau. A student of Monroe Academy, branded as a Null because of her absence of Lighter energy. With her mother standing as a slave in her place, Rayah was given until the age of twenty to make level six, but at nineteen-years-old and with only eight months until her twentieth birthday, she was only a mere level one. The same level she’s been since she was ten.

Five years ago, Odelia married a nice noblewoman to keep the shop from going under. She cares for her wife, but it’s hard to feel there is something real between them when Charlotte keeps her distance. Charlotte is nothing like the brave Masked Minotaur vanquishing the bandits across the nation.
When Odelia finds herself held up by a most unexpected bandit, she has to figure out how far she’ll go to protect her family’s legacy, even though all she wants is to be rescued by the Masked Minotaur.

Silver Moon (Preview)
Silver Moon (Preview) Amanda Lynn
Riley has a secret. One that some vampires would kill her for. Problem is...she doesn't know it yet.
Riley was a normal twenty-four-year-old girl. She lived in the city, worked as a private investigator, and went home each night alone.
All that changes with one missing person's case.
On the hunt for a missing girl, she's thrown into a world of supernaturals she never imagined existed. And with the discovery of her unique ability, her life is now in danger.
Luckily, she has two new men in her life who are desperate to keep her safe. Lucian, a vampire with devastatingly good looks and old school charm. And Aiden, her new live-in werewolf bodyguard with his boy-next-door appeal and laid-back attitude.
But will they be enough to protect her?

Cube of Trevalia
Cube of Trevalia L.J. Capehart
Danny knows the metal Cube is magic. Of course, when you're only 13, people tend to doubt statements to that effect. The draw the Cube in Uncle Ethan's home has on Danny is irresistable, causing the boy to take matters into his own hands.
When the Cube's magic is activated, not only Danny, but his entire family are pulled into another world.
Trapped in a society they don't understand, running from a madman who covets the power of the Cube, they set out to discover the way back home, finding adventure, excitement, and danger along the way. The question is, can they even get back home, or will they need to adjust to new lives in this place?

Unleash
Unleash Lauren Harris
Magic Mafia. Sorcerer Police. A girl on the run from both.
Helena Martin doesn't know who she hates more, the sorcerers who fired the magic-laced bullet or the gang-lord master who used her mother as a shield. It's not the price she expected for escaping magical slavery, nor is the unstable power now pulsing in her veins.
Caught between her former master's hunters and the Guild Sorcerers determined to kill them, she finds a safe haven at a dog rescue willing to take in a different kind of stray. But Helena's newly-unleashed power is a beacon for her enemies. And they're threatening the first place she's ever thought of as home.

Witch Mystery: Beth by S. H. Marpel
Witch Mystery: Beth by S. H. Marpel Living Sensical
Fighting off a rampaging troll in the woods just to rescue her milk cow wasn't the first thing on her list today.
Neither was finding a male wood nymph who needed her help.
What didn't help was his attitude of being "Nature's gift to women", but his broken leg meant he was going to perish out there when the next troll came along.
Come to think of it, maybe that troll was after him, and not her Bessie-cow?
Regardless, she just couldn't leave him out there. And in spite of his attitude, he was kind of cute, pointy ears and all.
If only she didn't have to now fend off her farm from other very real fairy-tale creatures, like goblins and witches, and of course, more trolls...
(Warning: contains cliffhanger...)

Grave Voices, excerpt from the Storm & Fury Collection Gail Z. Martin
A Steampunk novella set in the world of Iron & Blood, and an excerpt from the Storm & Fury Collection. The Department of Supernatural Investigation steps in when things go wrong in weird ways. When monsters start prowling the streets of New Pittsburgh, a shady monster hunter charges a fat fee to exterminate the creatures and Agents Mitch Storm, Della Kennedy, and Jacob Drangosavich step in to check things out. Are the new monsters connected to the sudden disappearances of psychics and mediums? And is the notorious Dollmaker behind the mayhem? It's an action-packed adventure full of airships, mad scientists, dark magic, clockwork creatures, carriage chases and plenty of explosions!
She writes stories that you can't put down. A wonderful imagination coupled with a love of history.
You can't go wrong with a story set in the Chronicles of the Necromancer world! I love her characters and you get sucked in from the first chapter!
Gail Z Martin never disappoints. Her books are fast-paced, roiling adventures that leave you wanting more.
I recently had the pleasure of reading Gail Z. Martin's The Summoner, the first installment of the Chronicles of the Necromancer. I enjoyed it so much that I immediately grabbed Scourge, the first book in her Darkhurst series, off the shelf at my local bookstore. Now I have TWO new series to finish reading!
If you enjoy fantasy, give this a chance. Prepare to be entertained for hours by a gripping plot, compelling characters, and a unique world.
A great story for fans of epic fantasy.
