Twelve-year-old Aster Wood is weak compared to the other survivors who flock to the cities, the only places where a meal and fresh water can be had.
But when he finds a ragged piece of parchment in the hidden corners of his father's childhood home, he is pulled through the cosmos to a place no one on Earth knows exists.
Here, the grass grows green. The wolves glow like the full moon. The wizards play with ancient knowledge, delighted with the simple spells that can bring dying plants back to life and make invisible that which they do not want seen.
And Aster is healthy again.
The heart condition that has plagued him since he was a toddler is suddenly absent, and Aster finds himself running, no, flying across the countryside as if he were born to do it.
Now, he must chase down the long-lost sorcerer, Almara, to discover the truth about his own family's past. And to learn what is yet to come for Earth's future.
Aster Wood and the Lost Maps of Almara is the first book of five in the action-packed Aster Wood series, perfect for teen adventure readers. Discover Aster Wood, the new series of middle grade fantasy books for middle school and young adult readers alike.

The Hour Between One and Two
AMAZON REVIEWS:
“Personal, sexy, brilliant, believable intrigue on speed. A MUST!”
“The book is easy to read, with interesting details and plot twists. Interesting to learn about whole sale food business and marketing.”
Thomas Timmins has published and performed his fiction and poetry in person and in print across the U.S. and on the internet. He founded Fractals, a literary tabloid and ran Poets and Players, a spoken word and music performance series.
Having had more jobs than most itinerant workers, he turned the experiences into fodder for his literary work and confidence to found create and manage his own projects, for a living and for community service. Thomas developed and taught writing and coaching programs for inmates, published commercial writing, founded, managed, and advised several small businesses ranging from soyfoods to ice cream to telephone fundraising to biological pest control to a video game start-up to energy efficiency retrofits and a media company. (Some might think all of these projects reveal an innate instability, though Thomas believes it’s more about the Crooked Path he and everyone meander.) Blood Medicine, The Special Fruit Company, and Down at the River comprise the three-book series of The Hour between One and Two.

GREED MANIFESTO (Greed Series #4)
by John W. Mefford
On Sale! Everyday price:
Everyone needs a guardian angel—except when that angel is cloaked in vengeance, immune to human qualities of remorse or compassion, seemingly carrying a torch for justice, yet driven by a tenacious indignation.
Set against the awe-inspiring backdrop of San Francisco and all of its fleeting secrets, Michael Doyle attempts to reboot his life, only to see death drop inches from his feet. Awakened from a seemingly catatonic state and emboldened by a spirited friendship from his past, the former journalist is compelled to chase down the truth behind a murder–and the natural beauty connected to it.
But what he uncovers isn’t what it appears to be on the surface. He discovers innocent lives around the globe are marked with a deadly price tag.
Robbed of his memory, beaten to an inch of his life, yet unwavering in his quest to cease an act of terror, Michael races against time to pursue an enemy bound by an unspeakable cause.
GREED MANIFESTO spins a tale so wickedly conceived, you won’t believe what you’ve read. Until you do.
GREED MANIFESTO can be read as a stand-alone novel, or as part of the Greed Series (#4).

Sanctum Angels Shadow Havens Book 1
by Edenmary Black
Warning: The following work contains descriptive material and scenes of explicit sexual encounters between consenting male and female adults. It is intended for adult readers only.
When Priana Grey walks into a bank, she isn’t expecting to be taken hostage by a violent thief; nor, is she expecting Detective Joe Cafaris to offer his life for hers. The stepdaughter of fallen angels of the Sanctum, she has concealed her true nature to move among humans for years, but Joe’s courage astounds her. Although she knows that falling in love with a human is a disaster, she just can’t ignore what she feels.
Joe is a tough loner, cool in the most dangerous situations, but he’s not ready for the scorching desire he feels for Priana. He has a million logical reasons to walk away, but his heart wants something else.
Priana’s stepbrother, Keirc, warns that she’ll find only misery with Joe, yet he guards a perilous secret of his own. His lover, Iridea, is the daughter of Sebastien Galaurus, a ruthless vampire who leads the Demesne, a powerful supernatural haven quite unlike the Sanctum.
When a stunning crisis forces Priana into the heart of the Demesne, a maelstrom explodes in the shadow of supernatural havens on the brink of war, where fallen angels, vampires, weres and daemons call the shots and humans are viewed as critically frail – a place where men and supernaturals can die.
Approximately 83,000 words.
This ebook contains an excerpt from Sanctum Warriors Shadow Havens Book 2 .
“Entertaining and exciting, the story is full of sub-plots that allow for all the characters to become real and have their own very special parts to play as the action unfolds. Complete in itself, Sanctum Angels is a great read but creates the desire to follow the lives of the characters in upcoming volumes.” – Reviewed by Melinda Hills for Readers’ Favorite
“You will love this read and be looking forward to the next book in the series and, thankfully, you get a brief intro into what will be coming next!” – San Francisco Book Review
