Lately Tab Bennett’s life is like a fairy tale. Unfortunately for her, it’s the Grimm kind. The kind where the woods are deep and dark and full of monsters; where a mother’s longing for something forbidden means terrible consequences for her daughter; where the huntsman who takes the princess for a walk in the woods plans to steal her heart – literally – right out of her chest.

Right up until the visions started, Tab would have described herself as normal. But her sisters’ disappearance brought long-hidden secrets into the light, revealing a world she never dreamed existed and a destiny she cannot deny. Now “normal” means wicked subterranean kings and murdered Elvish princesses and clandestine revenge schemes. Suddenly Tab is juggling her fiancé’s broken heart and a handsome prince’s irresistible advances while trying to unravel an assassination plot, and avoid a sociopath with an axe to grind.

As she struggles to hold on to the human world she’s always known and understand her place in the magical one she’s just discovered, dangerous forces have begun gathering around her. If she wants to live to see the happily ever after at the end of the story, Tab will have to figure out who she can trust, who wants her dead, and why. The answers will change everything she believes about herself, the people she loves, and the place she calls home.

An Amazon Contemporary Romance best seller from the author of the best-selling paranormal romance series, The Resistance Trilogy.

Fear is sabotage’s sweetest weapon.

Kate has no time for meaningless romantic charades, and definitely no time for hot college professors who are full of themselves and smitten with her. Constantly battling eviction notices, tuition she can’t afford, and a sick, dependent mother, the last thing she needs is to be distracted with someone else’s complicated baggage.

When she stumbles into Ryan Campbell’s creative writing class, he is only “Mr. Campbell” to her, until Ryan finds himself captivated by her writing and she is forced to face their mutual attraction. His cocky know-it-all syndrome is enough to send her running in the other direction, and his posse of female admirers and playboy reputation are enough to squander any odds in her favor.

But underneath Ryan’s abrasive facade is something to behold, and she can’t stay away for long. Ryan and Kate must decide who they’re willing to become and fight against their former selves if they want to make things work. That’s if academia, vicious vixens, old skeletons, and their own mastery at self-destruction don’t pummel their efforts first.

Lynnie is labeled a “seer” as a little girl but never explores or exploits her gift – she merely uses it to make a home and a haven for her complicated husband, Scott, who spends his time doing solitary and dangerous CIA work in the dusty Afghani mountains. Scott becomes expert in using a technique known as remote viewing – a skill that both helps and hurts him. What happens when a mother’s love ripples on beyond her death? And when her daughter, an archeologist with her own seer skills packs up and heads for Texas and a new life?  Things unravel as Wendell discovers she is being followed and finds notes from a mysterious man who seems to know her.  Scott comes home to look for his lost daughter who is being pursued because of abilities she doesn’t even know she has. As family secrets emerge, father and daughter end up together, on the run, piecing together the painful but redemptive puzzle of grief, love, and loss.

Famed N.Y.P.D. Lieutenant, Dax McGowan, attempts to track down and kill the pedophile priest who caused his daughter to commit suicide. A city-wide foot race soon turns into an international manhunt, taking him to the gates of Vatican City and beyond with startling results. An intransigent and deceitful church hierarchy, a politically weakened D.A.’s response, and mysterious assassins dispatched to “take him down” thwart his every move.
Comments from readers say it’s a mix of
“Law and Order: Special Victims Unit” and “The Da Vinci
Code”.

in its Audible Audio Edition, Unabridged!

MUST LOVE DOGS became a major movie starring Diane Lane and John Cusack. The Kindle version contains an exclusive forward with behind-the-scenes snippets from Claire Cook’s book-to-movie experience, as well as book club questions.

The second novel written by the bestselling author (WALLFLOWER IN BLOOM, BEST STAGED PLANS, SEVEN YEAR SWITCH, THE WILDWATER WALKING CLUB, SUMMER BLOWOUT, LIFE’S A BEACH and more), MUST LOVE DOGS tells the story of life after divorce for Sarah Hurlihy, which pretty much consists of juggling her job as a preschool teacher along with the demands of her large, interfering Irish-American family. Even Sarah knows she should put the past behind her and take a bold step toward a fresh start, but she’s stuck. So her bossy big sister takes matters into her own hands and places the following personal ad for her: “Voluptuous, sensuous, alluring and fun. Barely 40 DWF seeks special man to share starlit nights. Must Love Dogs.” And the wild ride begins!

Sent back in time, Gwen must save her lover’s life. She failed him once before. She can’t fail him again. Dream Weaver was nominated for the CAPA the Cupid and the Psyche Awards.

Strange dreams haunt Gwen’s sleep, of a lonely cabin in the woods and a tall, dark stranger she’s never met. While visiting a restored village, Gwen is flung back in time and meets the man of her dreams!

All Christian wants to do is to practice medicine in the Pennsylvania wilderness. He doesn’t want to deal with a crazy lady who shows up at his doorstep, claiming to be from the future. And the last thing he wants is to fall in love.

But Gwen and Christian can’t deny their past or their future. They must deal with the dangers that threaten them…or die together.

In March 2012 one Canadian author boldly went where few have gone before—into the land of making real money with Amazon’s KDP Select program.

This is her story…

My name is Cheryl Kaye Tardif and I am an international bestselling suspense author who earned over $42,000 dollars in March 2012 selling ebooks via Amazon’s KDP Select program, captured the interest of a major literary agency, and went on to sign with a foreign rights agent. And I’m about to tell you HOW I did all that.

I don’t normally tell people how much money I make, but I believe writers need to know it IS possible to earn a real income from your books. Seriously, if I can do it, anyone can—if you have the right combination of criteria and techniques.

In this book, I’ll share with you what I believe are four key elements you must have in place to see high sales. And I’ll reveal the strategic techniques I used during my KDP Select promotions that resulted in earning over $42,000—with $32,000 of that from ONE title alone.

Not only did I earn over $42,000 in ebook sales, I was contacted by one of the leading literary agencies in New York. The chairman noticed my success when my one title made #4 in the Top 100 Bestselling Kindle ebooks, right under The Hunger Games trilogy. Since then, I’ve signed with another agent for foreign rights.

So, if you’re ready to earn some real money with Select, let’s begin…

“Kindle – the unofficial manual. Guidebook, tips and tricks” – INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER – is currently the most extensive English-language Kindle handbook around and aims to live up to its title. The e-book was Amazon’s official bestseller 2011 in Germany. In France, Italy and Spain it occupied top positions in the Kindle charts for months.

“Kindle – the unofficial manual. Guidebook, tips and tricks” describes Amazon’s successful family of e-readers in plain English. It invites you to a tour through the many functions of the device. You won’t be left alone even in the depths of the configuration and of the file system. The book tells you how to use your Kindle optimally. You learn what to read, hear and watch with the reader and how to adapt the device to your needs so to save time and money.
If you’re interested, we’d like to bring you from entry-level Kindle user up to the level of a pro who can get the very most out of his Kindle, even including programming apps for the Kindle and writing your own books.

The helpful guide stems from the plentiful pool of experience both authors have amassed with all revisions of the Kindle. The English version combines German engineering background with the thorough translation of a native English speaker (and Kindle user himself). All tips and tricks, discovered by the world wide Kindle community, were checked thoroughly before being described in the guide.

You’ll find that beyond the basics we’ve been able to bring together a great deal of true insider knowledge. We’ve also asked for contributions from guest authors from the programmer and hacker scene that will hopefully show you entirely new sides of the Kindle.
