Here’s the set-up:

Luna couldn’t stand it anymore, so she escaped Grandfather’s house and sought refuge in the backyard. And that’s where she discovered the mysterious hedge-fence gate…

Step with Luna into Spirithaven, a place between places where vibrant emotions become colorful traveling companions, memories are carefully sculpted–and fears grow into daring realities. There, a dreadful gnome strives to fashion Luna’s unhappiest moods into a prison, but several extraordinary (or at least extraordinarily peculiar) new friends reveal that such places can often be reshaped with perspective.  Sometimes the gloomy, lonely place is truly…

…the shadow in the garden.

Blue Fall (The Tournament #1)

by B. B. Griffith

4.8 stars – 19 Reviews
Text-to-Speech: Enabled
Here’s the set-up:

“There was a time…long ago, when whole nations, entire races of people, pinned their hopes and futures on individual warriors. Whole wars were won and lost on the outcome of a single battle between heroes. Entire countries were moved. Empires rose and fell…”

In Blue Fall, that time has come again.

A routine investigation throws a hapless insurance agent down the rabbit hole, into a world where the rich and powerful place wagers on the greatest game on earth. They call it the Tournament. It offers competition without limits. It is beholden to no man, and constrained by no law, and it is extremely dangerous. But where does the true power lie in this World Cup of warfare? With those who place the bets, or with the deadly players themselves? And can one man expose the secret before they find him?

Here’s the set-up:

After a thousand years of peace, the beautiful kingdom of Farner is threatened with the resurgence of magic and the destruction of all that is precious in the realm.

Dahlyn, the shepherd’s daughter, is revealed in the scriptures as the wysberrion, the person charged with saving the land. She is lured away from her unadventurous life on Wonderdown Moor to fulfil her destiny, but the ancient texts are fragmented and misleading, and fail to mention the elusive artefact which will help her achieve her goal. On her long journey, she finds a deep and enduring love which alters her perception of herself and her capabilities. But there is a paradox within the innocent Dahlyn; ostensibly perfect, as her role requires, she is hiding a terrible secret of her own…

Here’s the set-up:

In 1860, Captain Garrett Fitzwilliam is living in the center of American politics, viewing the divisive issues of the day through his nonpartisan lawyer eyes. His life is defined by love of country and faith in the rule of law…until Rachael Hayes Kendrick enters his world. This sassy young widow captures more than the cocky captain’s imagination. She proves to him that love is indeed an act of faith, and Rachael’s faith in Garrett is indomitable. Her faith will sustain him when war divides the North and the South; his misguided sense of duty may cost him her love. But for what exactly did he pay so high a price?In the wake of war, everything Garrett believes in, the core of his existence, is collapsing. The Union army suffers repeated defeats not owing entirely to the brilliance of Robert E. Lee’s command of the Confederate army, and in Washington, a very different enemy has emerged. This insidious enemy poses a threat to the United States that Garrett never thought possible. But this enemy no officer may dare to challenge.So how will Garrett Fitzwilliam defend his country when his country’s survival depends upon an army sabotaged by its own incompetence? Or was his country lost when the man who swore an oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution imprisoned his political foes? Would the answers matter so much to Garrett if Rachael loved him again?

Kindle Nation Daily Sci-Fi Readers Alert! G.T. Denny’s Epic Fantasy DEEP INTO THE HEART OF A ROSE – Now $3.99 on Kindle

4.0 stars – 6 Reviews
Text-to-Speech and Lending: Enabled
*** We announced earlier this week that G.T. Denny, author of DEEP INTO THE HEART OF A ROSE, is the sponsor of this week’s KINDLE FIRE Giveaway Sweepstakes, which ends Monday. Please check out our Facebook page to enter. ***

Here’s the set-up:

On a crisp autumn morning, in his cottage in the idyllic land of the Vale, Mr. Edward T. Cozzlebottom composed the following letter for his secret love, the graceful and lovely Mizz Ezmerelda Wimbish.Dear Mizz Wimbish,

Confessions are something to admire. Don’t you agree? Far more confessors, of the subtle variety, would make this world a place more agreeable for all. It is in this spirit that I concoct this missive and subtle confession.

I have been taken with you for some number of years. I notice that you are quite fond of roses, as am I.

Given our mutual interests, and the proximity of our lives, I think it is time for us to meet fate halfway and talk of things that affect us both. We could discuss your roses, or my books, or any matter that concerns you. There are many seemingly quiet things that happen on our very street that I think could fill an evening, if not a lifetime.

If my suggestion intrigues you, I will meet you beyond the honeysuckle on the far side of Embry Lane by the fourth gaslight. I will be there Wednesday just before the lamplighter arrives.

I encourage you to consider my offer, as it is filled with gravity.

Most sincerely and with the respect due to a lady of your type,
Edward T. Cozzlebottom

P.S. If it rains, bring an umbrella.

Though these two lonely souls occupy homes separated by a matter of feet and inches, they soon discover that it will take many miles of treacherous travel before they can master the short distance between their hearts and doors.

Each one goes on a separate journey that takes them from the startling beauty of the Many Mirrored Way to the blackest woods of the Great Dorianic Forest. Along the way, they encounter the Trench Systers, the Wicked Tinker, the Walrus King, and the Brothers of the Black Lodge.

Reviews

“Denny’s drama, both jaunty and frightening, is engaging and well-paced, and his characters are wholesome archetypes: deeply lovable, easily feared or anything in between. His airy writing style and sense of whimsy complement the book’s heavy mythology.” – Kirkus Reviews“Well written, charmingly detailed and epic, this truly is a must read for 2012.” – Fantasy Book Review 

“A strong work, rich in detail and character. A blend of Tolkein, Wind and the Willows, and Don Quixote.” – Troy Howell author of “The Dragon of Cripple Creek”  

“4 out of 5 Stars” “Denny has created a charming imaginary world” ” a ripping-good yarn ForeWord Clarion Review

Travis Sentell’s FLUID Gives Readers The Chance to Choose Their Own Ending in This Fiction Fantasy and Readers Are Already Raving – 4.8 Stars on Amazon!

Fluid

by Travis Sentell

4.8 stars – 13 Reviews

Here’s the set-up:

Fluid is an “Active Fiction” title, a new type of e-book from Coliloquy. Readers have the freedom to choose 1 of over 500 possible pathways, influencing the thoughts and actions of key characters. But just as in real life, the choices you make are immutable and you must live with the consequences. You have only yourself to blame as the world burns or rejoices.

A standalone interactive novel, Fluid is both the large story of a cosmic battle between God and Satan, and the small story of two lost teenagers yearning for connection in a greedy, manipulative world. Chastity and Austin are two kids repeatedly thrown into contact with one another, seemingly by chance. At every turn they sense an overwhelming attraction, but fate also conspires to force them apart, time after time. When Austin is “accidentally” thrust into a new job as the receptionist for Chastity’s therapist, Dr. Abramson, the two undergo a series of dramatic therapeutic regressions and begin tapping into past lives and alternate consciousnesses. Dr. Abramson begins to realize that the two souls now under his care have been struggling to find each other since the dawn of time. Life after life, their incarnations have experienced close encounters and torturous deaths. He understands that there is a purpose to their appearance in his office, but doesn’t know whether his role is to keep them together or pull them apart. As God and the Devil watch and plot, conspiring to destroy or create true love, the clock ticks and nothing short of the end of all Creation is at stake. The rains fall, the Earth trembles, and time runs short. About Coliloquy Coliloquy is a digital publisher of active fiction, specializing in reader engagement and serial storytelling. We leverage advances in technology to create groundbreaking new forms of digital fiction. From the very first page of Fluid, readers must make critical decisions that lead them down one of over 500 different pathways through this sprawling contemporary exploration of good, evil, and the fluid core of humanity. Just as in life, readers cannot go back and change their minds once a decision is made. Every choice leads to repercussions, ensuring that every reading experience is completely different.

Please note: Fluid contains content that may be inappropriate for children.

One Reviewer Notes

“FLUID was an exciting and fun read. The fact that I had to decide the fate of the characters from early on and throughout the book drew me into the story. It made me think about free will and choices I make in my life everyday. While the book seemed high-concept at first blush, it’s much more of a traditional love story with very real characters who I quickly and deeply felt connected too.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone with a Kindle who is looking for an enthralling, well-written story about life, love, the choices we make, the beliefs we have and how WE choose to act in our lives. Because the reader must make choices about what happens throughout the story, you can learn a lot about yourself, which I did. I felt like each `choice point’ in the story reflected something about who I am and choices I’ve made in my life. This interactive format is a really fun way to experience a GREAT novel with a lot of heart and a lot of depth.” – Amazon Reviewer, 5 Stars

Kindle Nation Daily Bargain Book Alert! Mainak Dhar’s Post-Apocalyptic Adventure THROUGH THE KILLING GLASS – The Explosive Sequel to Alice In Deadland – Now $2.99 or Free via Kindle Lending Library

4.5 stars – 4 Reviews
Text-to-Speech and Lending: Enabled
Here’s the set-up:

Praise for Alice in Deadland. More than 60,000 copies sold.

“ALICE IN DEADLAND is a fast paced, creative zombie tale.” – Reads A Lot Book Reviews

“Alice in Deadland may be a ‘zombie-like’ story, but it is a metaphorical tale of how we tend to demonize that which we do not understand. It is obvious that there are socio-economic and geopolitical undercurrents in the story line and shadows of colonialism, post-colonialism, jingoism, and intolerance. If you can read between the lines and see the deeper meaning to the story, Alice in Deadland is a wonderfully entertaining ebook.” – eNovel Reviews

“Words to live by: Eat all your vegetables. Exercise like a fiend. Sleep a solid seven to eight hours a day. Never, ever read Alice in Deadland before you sleep. Ever. Because if you do make the mistake of idly perusing the first page, you’re going to want to finish the last and that, ladies and gentlemen, is a foul surprise to learn on a work day. An unusual blend of the zombie mythos, conspiracy theories and Lewis Caroll, Alice in Deadland is self-proclaimed ‘cubicle worker by day, author by night’ Mainak Dhar’s most recent offering and one of the best reinterpretations of the childhood fable yet.” – Kindlefu.com

The explosive sequel to the Amazon.com Bestseller, Alice in Deadland.

More than two years have passed since Alice followed a Biter with bunny ears down a hole, triggering events that forever changed her life and that of everyone in the Deadland. The Red Guards have been fought to a standstill; Alice has restored some measure of peace between humans and Biters; and under Alice, humans have laid the foundations of the first large, organized community since The Rising- a city called Wonderland.

That peace is shattered in a series of vicious Biter attacks and Alice finds herself shunned by the very people she helped liberate. Now she must re-enter the Deadland to unravel this new conspiracy that threatens Wonderland. Doing so will mean coming face to face with her most deadly adversary ever- the Red Queen..

Praise For THROUGH THE KILLING GLASS

“This was a thrilling blend of post-apocalyptic zombie devastation and world domination. But the real question is, who are the real bad guys? Alice in Deadland and Through the Killing Glass are well worth reading and you can perhaps learn a little something about survival when dealing with zombies or politicians” – Amazon Reviewer, 5 Stars

Savage Cinderella

by PJ Sharon

5.0 stars – 2 Reviews
Text-to-Speech and Lending: Enabled
Here’s the set-up:

Eighteen year-old Brinn Hathaway has survived alone in an abandoned cabin in the High Country of North Georgia since she was a child. If her life is lonely and less than complete, at least she is safe from the man who kidnapped her, held her captive, and left her for dead in a shallow grave in the mountains. She believes that her parents are dead, the police are her enemy, and that if she returns to the world, her tormentor will find her. With the help of some unlikely friends, she has what she needs to survive, but is surviving enough?

Life takes a turn when a young nature photographer, Justin Spencer—in pursuit of the fabled Wild Child—captures her on film. While chasing the story of a lifetime, Justin is injured and Brinn comes to his rescue. The two build a tentative friendship, but with his own violent past, an abusive alcoholic father, and a mother he couldn’t protect, he must decide if proving himself is worth betraying the trust of the girl he has vowed to help.

Trust is a commodity that Brinn has been unable to afford. Can the kindness and gentle touch of a stranger break through the wall she has built around her heart? After half a lifetime of living in isolation and fear, Brinn must decide if leaving the safety of her remote cabin is worth the hope—and danger—that may await her.

Bleedover

by Curtis Hox

Text-to-Speech and Lending: Enabled
Here’s the set-up:

Dr. Hattie Sterling has dedicated her career to the study of bleedover, a new phenomenon in which parts of fictional worlds cross over into the real one. So far, bleedover’s effects–vandalized billboards, extra scenes in movies, unpublished copy in texts–have been so small and so random many consider the whole thing a hoax.

Everything changes when grad students Ernest Packer and Masumi Yoshida conjure an apple out of thin air. Bleedover is real–and it can be controlled.

Sterling believes she can harness fantastical worlds to make ours a better place. But her college rival Corbin Lyell has other ideas. Obsessed with the pulp horrors of Lovecraft and Howard, he kidnaps Packer and quickly summons cosmic monsters into Riodola University. To fight back, Sterling must conjure up myths and heroes of her own before Corbin overruns the world with the worst horrors of the imagination.
