Knot in Time - Teen/YA
4.5 stars over 15 reviews
Price: 2.99 0.99
Description: My name is Darius Arthur Heisenberg, but most people call me Dare. If my last name sounds familiar, it’s probably because of my great-great uncle Werner Heisenberg. He was a physicist who came up with something called the Uncertainty Principle. But listen, Uncle Werner had no idea how uncertain things really are.

I work for a group, called the Keepers, that label themselves the custodians of time. And, believe me, time is a mess. It needs all the custodians it can get. Which is, of course, why the Keepers selected me, a nineteen-year-old high school dropout, to join them. I recently worked as a janitor for a couple months. Perfect fit, right?

Okay, it didn’t make much sense to me either, but I wasn’t in a position to turn down a steady job and a roof over my head. Besides, all I’m supposed to do is travel through time and save the universe as we know it, how hard could it be?

Yeah, better hold on. This could get ugly.

Their sharing stopped one fall afternoon when Patrick walked home from school and found something terrible waiting for him there. After that day, what his family had hidden away was out in the open for all to see.

Years later, Renae's father dies suddenly. Staring at his casket in the funeral home, she tumbles back in memories to untangle the connections between herself as a young girl and the woman she has become. Her memories begin with Patrick, and in them she finds that the fearful choices she made when they were childhood friends are the choices she's been making ever since. Because the hidden world inside the house she grew up in has been following her
around.

It is a rare novel that can leave me thinking for so long afterward about my own upbringing, my own life experiences, and how they have shaped me into the person I am today.

Black Hull: Free Kindle Book 5/22

Black Hull is the exciting Sci-Fi thriller from rising star Joseph A. Turkot. In serial form, this series tells the tale of Mick Compton, whose desperate search to find a way out of his criminal record is nothing short of entrancing. Pick up the first episode now for FREE!

Name: Black Hull: Episode 1 (A Lost In Spacetime Thriller)
Rating: 4.5 stars over 11 reviews
Price: 0.99 FREE
Description: Black Hull is a lost-in-space thriller, with strong elements of suspense and mystery. There are also tones of subtle eroticism, minus graphic imagery. It is intended for adult audiences.

This thriller’s edge of your seat narrative keeps the reader questioning: What’s going to happen to Mick next? It’s given up front that Mick Compton is a man with a past: he’s facing thirty years in prison for violence—and he’s lost his once highly coveted position with NASA’s FRINGE outfit. Now, facing a long stretch in prison, with two sons and an ex-wife he wants back, he’s faced with a horrible dilemma—do the time and miss out on his children’s youth, or run one black hull smuggling operation in a distant system, get a meaty reward, and pay off a connection with a standing offer to wipe his crime history from the UCA database.

All is going well until the ride home: Mick finds himself waking up prematurely, long before arriving in Earth orbit. He’s floating in dead space. Not only has he woken from cryo early, but he’s not aboard his black hull vessel any longer: he’s in an escape pod with only enough power for several more hours of life-support. It is Mick waking up that begins the first episode in the Black Hull serial novel.

The fast-paced writing, the mystery of what happened to his crew, and Mick’s panic-stricken quest to stay alive in a strange future and get back home to his family creates an incessant need for readers to devour each new episode in this serialization. The action of the plot is interwoven with riveting flashbacks that depict Mick’s mistakes leading up to the loss of his marriage and the murder of his wife’s lover. Mick’s is a story of a man grappling with regret, clinging to a far-fetched hope that somehow, things can be made right again, despite man’s known laws of physics.

Reader Reviews: "This is a terrific story, the main character is in a dire situation, alone, in the blackness of deep space. The story ends well, with questions unanswered, sufficient for the reader to ask themselves 'what next'? Lots of detail on which the story can grow. You'll be glad you start reading!"

Free Kindle Book: Hurricane Season 5/22

Here's a new mystery unlike any you've ever read before. In Hurricane Season, when a stranger comes to town in the 1950s, Lily Trulock finds herself right in the middle of a bootleg war. Explosions and murder throw her world into turmoil…and there's even worse on the way! A fantastic, thrilling mystery you can get for FREE today! Check it out now!

Name: Hurricane Season
Rating: 3.8 stars over 28 reviews
Price: 3.99 FREE
Description: Miss Marple meets Eudora Welty (with a trace of Erskine Caldwell) -Kirkus

P.D. JAMES said: “(Michaela Thompson) knows how to create that sense of place, which is so important to any novel but particularly to crime fiction; her characters are believable men and women in a real world, her mystery is credible, and in Lily Trulock she has created a middle-aged heroine who is both original and sympathetic.”

JOHN D. MACDONALD said: “I enjoyed the book. It has real people in a real place, factors which seem to be ever more rare these days—even though it is the only way to create a real suspension of disbelief.”

The New York Times said: “With the kind of realism that stems from William Faulkner, the author skillfully portrays her inbred, suspicious, nasty people ... Hurricane Season ends up an orthodox murder mystery, but it is more than that. In a way, [Michaela Thompson] has attempted a microcosm of America, carefully dissecting out a single cell under a very strong lens."

The story of a storm, an illicit love affair, and moonshine… (actually, two illicit love affairs)

The 1950s fairly leap off the page in this classic cozy mystery set in northern Florida in the Eisenhower era, complete with Johnny Ray on the jukebox and a Womanless Wedding—this one interrupted by an explosion at a moonshine still. Lily Trulock, owner of Trulock’s Grocery & Marine Supply, leads a pretty quiet life until a stranger comes to town. The new guy’s not what he appears, but then, some of St. Elmo’s residents aren’t either.

Before she can say, “down the hatch,” Lily’s at the center of a vicious murder and a no-holds-barred bootlegging war—and a nasty storm’s on the way. This is a vibrant, atmospheric, powerful novel—as filled with energy, mystery, and motion as a hurricane.

Hurricane Season is as much a richly-detailed, spot-on historical as a mystery, widely praised by masters of the genre and reviewers alike for its pitch-perfect period feel and fine, spare writing.

"A remarkable, compelling first novel ... a storm of a story." -The Washington Post

"This is a remarkable book which deserves readers from far beyond the ranks of mystery fans." -The San Francisco Chronicle/Examiner

Reader Reviews: "Hurricane Season reminded me just how much skill it takes to create a truly different (yet completely realistic) world and weave a mystery through it. No car chases, computer hackers, or explosions here -- just a thoroughly satisfying book."

The Boy Who Lit Up the Sky: Kindle Book of the Day 5/22

Grab your copy of The Boy who Lit up the Sky, an enthralling and action-filled fantasy about a banished infant prince who's raised in a rundown orphanage. When a royal guard finds the boy twelve years later, will he take his throne peacefully or bring about a reign of terror? This is an adventurous and thrilling book you can't miss. Check it out now!

Name: The Boy who Lit up the Sky
Rating: 4.8 stars over 12 reviews
Price: 0.99
Description: Lydia Kalila, the Princess Royal of Mishnah, is forced into marriage with the son of her country's mortal enemy for the sole purpose of producing an heir.  Duty comes before personal choice for a princess especially when her country has been at war for more than a thousand years.  Lydia's pregnancy removes her brother and new husband from their respective lines of succession placing her yet unborn infant at the head of the both queues.  No one is happy about this, especially Lydia who dies during childbirth from wounds caused by the talon-like toenails of her very strange newborn son.

Grief stricken at the loss of his daughter, the Mishnese King hastily sends Senya, his infant grandson off to a decrepit inner city orphanage with the intent to retrieve him much later when things got sorted out.  At the orphanage, Senya is protected by the invalid Sister Meri who instantly falls in love with the little fellow.  She's not bothered at all by his strange telekinetic and telepathic powers, flickering pupil-less silver eyes or wicked clawed toenails. The House Father takes a shine to the lad too and when Senya is six years old, he is summoned to the Father's chamber.  The Father ends up in flames forcing Meri and Senya out into a snow storm running for their lives. 

Thus begins the tale of Senya, a prince created to be king of a planet but then tossed aside until his twelfth birthday when Lt. Taner, a Royal Guard detective is sent to retrieve him.  It is unclear to all whether Senya is the product of something good or something evil but in either case, it is very apparent that he is something more than just Lydia Kalila's son.

Reviews: "This is an amazing 5 star book. I liked the subtle development of the characters, who generate compassion, evil, humor, curiosity, and such earnestness that you feel that you are a part of their world."

Name: Choking on a Camel

Price: 4.99 FREE
Description: "A moving, dynamic debut." --Kirkus Reviews

Alex Ferguson

Compulsive skeptic. Devout believer. At odds with the group-think at her fundamentalist university. Preached at and taken advantage of. Agonizing over the recent death of her brother. Hurting for the larger world she lives in. Wrestling with the God she wants to love but maybe hates and definitely doesn't understand.

"An intriguing, multifaceted portrayal of Alex's spiritual journey."--Kirkus Reviews

About the Author: Michal Ann McArthur's father was an English professor and poet who exposed her at an early age to the love of language and great literature.

Before she could write her name, she was dictating stories to her mother, who patiently typed them. Although none went on to be best-sellers, her stuffed elephant seemed to appreciate them.

She fell in love with literary fiction at age fourteen when she devoured The Grapes of Wrath. From that point on, she dreamed of creating literature with that kind of raw beauty and power.

The Wednesday Sisters - Women's Fiction/Bestsellers
4.0 stars over 127 reviews
Price: 14.00 0.99
Description: Friendship, loyalty, and love lie at the heart of Meg Waite Clayton’s beautifully written, poignant, and sweeping novel of five women who, over the course of four decades, come to redefine what it means to be family.

For thirty-five years, Frankie, Linda, Kath, Brett, and Ally have met every Wednesday at the park near their homes in Palo Alto, California. Defined when they first meet by what their husbands do, the young homemakers and mothers are far removed from the Summer of Love that has enveloped most of the Bay Area in 1967. These “Wednesday Sisters” seem to have little in common: Frankie is a timid transplant from Chicago, brutally blunt Linda is a remarkable athlete, Kath is a Kentucky debutante, quiet Ally has a secret, and quirky, ultra-intelligent Brett wears little white gloves with her miniskirts. But they are bonded by a shared love of both literature–Fitzgerald, Eliot, Austen, du Maurier, Plath, and Dickens–and the Miss America Pageant, which they watch together every year.

His father belittled his dream of being an artist and tried to beat him into giving it up. The dream wouldn’t die, but Gastien would have had he not left.

He also yearns to become a great lover. After the years of anguish he has endured at the hand of his father, it would be heaven to feel pleasure instead of pain.

However, the city of Paris has a ruthless agenda. Unless a man has money and connections, Paris unfeelingly crushes dreams and destroys souls. With neither of the required assets, Gastien faces living in alleys, digging in trash bins for food, and sleeping where a man is often killed for his threadbare blanket.

Name: Harbour Falls
Rating: 4.1 stars over 37 reviews
Price: 0.99
Description: Best-selling author Maddy Fitch, while researching material for a new novel, returns to her hometown of Harbour Falls to investigate an unsolved disappearance that has haunted the tiny Maine coastal town for the past four years. Although the case has gone cold, Maddy soon discovers that the prime suspect, Adam Ward, is hotter than ever.

The sexy, secretive Mr. Ward now makes his home on an isolated island near the coast, so Maddy takes up residence nearby to find out why this enigmatic man lives in such a secluded place. Is it because the missing person at the heart of the case, a young woman, was engaged to Adam at the time of her disappearance? Did the prime suspect perhaps move to escape the town’s scrutiny, or is he hiding something much more sinister?

As Maddy plunges into the case, she and Adam are drawn together. Should she fight her growing attraction to a possibly dangerous man? The mystery deepens, and the list of suspects, people who all had reasons for wanting to see the missing young woman gone, grows. Maddy hopes that by solving the mystery Adam will be proven innocent of any involvement, and they can then move forward with their relationship. But as she uncovers clues that begin to lead suspicion away from Adam, new secrets emerge that leave her questioning everything. Maddy continues to close in on the truth, threatening to blow the lid off the whole mystery. But what she doesn’t realize is that she’s actually caught up in someone’s very dangerous game.

Lies, secrets, deceptions. In Harbour Falls, nothing is ever what it seems. This steamy novel immerses the reader in an intricate storyline that will keep them glued till the very last page.

Reviews: "My favorite kind of romantic suspense is when you have no idea who did what until the end. That was definitely the case here. This story had so many twists and turns, it constantly kept me on my toes."

Nothing's Changed But My Change - Memoir
4.5 stars over 47 reviews
Price: 9.99 0.00
Description: This world of ours has changed, if you haven't noticed. The way we communicate, consume, shop, swap and date has all changed--we have all changed--because of the internet. But perhaps it has changed one man, most of all. This is the true rags to riches, recluse to extrovert, fat to skinny ShoeMoney Story.

Penned with the same irreverence for authority and grammar as his widely read blog (shoemoney.com), Nothing's Changed but My Change chronicles the journey from a difficult childhood as the fat "dumb" kid to a grown-up place of prominence, wealth, and happiness as one of the world's foremost internet marketers. At times it's philosophical, provocative and downright hilarious and at others it's a cursory how-to manual for making a buck and spending it wildly. Transparent and shockingly honesty, you can't help but like and identify with the brazen narrator and finish his story with a renewed sense of your own self-confidence and hope. In the end, Schoemaker--the man behind the alias--leaves us with a final understanding that anything's possible if you celebrate yourself and embrace your natural talents because--as he's learned--that's the stuff that never changes.
