Here’s the set-up for Keith Remer’s The Hiding Place of Thunder, just $6.99 on Kindle:

Terrible things are happening in Pushmataha County, Oklahoma. A black teen and his white girl friend have disappeared. After an altercation with white ruffians, a Choctaw Indian turns up missing as well. It’s not a good time for a Jewish boy from Boston to spend time in this place where it seems minorities are suddenly unwelcome.

Sheriff Burl Hansen has his hands full even before fate forces him to bond with the boy from Boston. Hansen, though, will not heed the mystical warnings of a Choctaw holy man until it’s too late to save citizens from the terror of good intentions gone awry.

In a Godly community where honorable men have strayed, only a force beyond human comprehension can intervene from The Hiding Place of Thunder.

“No writer has grabbed my attention since I read my first John Grisham novel. If The Hiding Place of Thunder is an example of Keith Remer’s novels to come, America and the world have discovered a great new author. I am hooked, and a Remer fan for life.”  — Steve Bender, producer, director and author, 68 at 40 Retrospective and If I Can Dream

“Keith Remer is truly one of the most gifted storytellers of our time. The Hiding Place of Thunder is a haunting and provocative masterpiece, which leaves the reader no choice but to keep turning its pages. It’s one of those books that will keep you thinking about it long after you’ve finished reading it.” — Stacy D. Shelton, author, Me, the Crazy Woman and Breast Cancer

Keith Remer knows his craft and weaves compelling stories taken from real life. His novels present those kinds of reflective moments we need to take pause with in our own lives. He has inspired and taught me.   —Chris Querry, author, Alat Farad, Eden’s Keys, and A Love Made Real, reviewer, Myshelf.com

Not a cure for insomnia. Are you looking for something boring to help put you to sleep? Well folks this book ain’t it. It’s down home rude and crude. It’s hot just like our beloved Oklahoma in the summer. You start out thinking this is just another who-done-it but soon find out you haven’t got a clue who the bad guy is and you are riding this out to the end.  –  Okie Doc

I have a few favorite authors – Koontz, Cornwell…and Keith Remer! Remer has an extraordinary talent for escorting a reader into the minds and lives of his characters allowing one to “live” the story. His books always leave me waiting for the next one to be published! Please keep them coming!  –  Linda Geier

From the first page to the last, I wasn’t reading the book, I was totally immersed in the book. Most mystery novels are really easy to predict and as a result can get very boring. That doesn’t happen with “Thunder”. I know it’s normally a cheesy accolade to say the author “grabs” you, but not in this case.  –  Captain Billy

International award winning author Keith Remer is a native Oklahoman. As such, he realized long ago there are no better breeding grounds for thrillers than the trailer parks, oilfields, churches, ranches, skyscrapers and meth-labs of the Bible-Belt. Remer fills his fictionalized accounts with the products of the region’s western, Native American, outlaw, and fundamental Christian cultures to produce unforgettable characters who bring his unique plots to life.

Keith is a retired army colonel. He spends his retirement as a small-time rancher and adjunct college professor. In the late 70s and early 80s he took a ten-year break from the army to serve as an Oklahoma City police officer. During those years he policed the roughest precincts of the city. Remer’s specialized military training awarded him opportunities to join the S.W.A.T. team and bomb squad.

Keith was raised as the son of an oilfield roustabout. He spent his formative years in shanties and mobile homes as he was moved from one oil boom town to another. He rubbed elbows with relatives who were outlaw bikers long before putting those types in jail. He’s been in bar fights and shoot-outs and has shaken the hands of two American Presidents. His stories are a product of his background.

To date, Keith has written eight novels and converted two into screenplays. At the insistence of a number of producers and directors, he intends to adapt all his novels for the big-screen.

From the reviewers:

I am hooked!  And I can’t wait to find out what’s going to happen next! Episode One was a great introduction to the characters and set up for the story. The writing is easy and conversational – perfect for this kind of pure, escapist fiction. I love the idea of a serialized novel for the Kindle! — Tracy O’Connor

Amit Verma’s The Lives and the Times is Our eBook of the Day at just $3.65, with 4.8 Stars on 6 Reviews, and Here’s a Free Sample

Here’s the set-up for Amit Verma’s The Lives and the Times, just $3.65 on Kindle:

June is an average man leading an average life, with only his name being somewhat non-traditional. Little does he know, however, that such a commonplace task of moving from Bangalore to Delhi to rise up in the corporate ladder will bring him front and center of some interesting happenings, and in contact with strange people.

He is being actively pursued by an organization that believes he is its leader, and is someone who will take the organization and ultimately India to its destiny.

The organization is facing a nemesis, a part of the government that is attempting to maintain  a status quo. And all this takes place on a stage defined as the Indian subcontinent, which is a land that is alive, quite literally that is.

From the reviewers:

“The humor and satire keep you going, and the suspense keeps you flipping pages. I did not come across a dull moment. Throughout the book there is a blend of the realism, surrealism, the mundane, and the bizarre”.  —  Jets  |  2 reviewers made a similar statement

“I believe it also very accurately applies to the American middle class, and perhaps the middle class the world over. ”  — Traveler Doc  |  1 reviewer made a similar statement

“With a rather surprising mix of mystery, romance and backroom political intrigue, spiced up with a touch of big-brother espionage and a good dose of mystical surrealism, Dr. Amit Verma guides the reader through a captivating power struggle that builds up explosively, chapter after chapter.  The maze of relations between characters unfolds progressively, and unexpected and new connections are always only one page away. ”  —  Lino  |  1 reviewer made a similar statement

Ultimately, Mr. Verma suggests that the story is not about a battle between poverty and affluence but rather that the larger middle class only somewhat perceives this battle and less rarely takes part in it. This is a social commentary of our times with the likes of Upton Sinclair, Salinger, Ralph Ellison   –  MMG

Amit Verma was born in New Delhi, India in 1975. He obtained a Bachelor’s degree from Institute of Technology-Banaras Hindu University, a Master’s degree from Vanderbilt University, and Ph.D. from Georgia Institute of Technology. He currently resides in Texas, U.S.A.

Martin Gibbs succeeds in creating another world while preserving a very tangible connections to our own world in The Spaces Between – A fantastic journey of three strangers looking for a Warlock who lives in far North – It’s Our eBook of the Day at just $2.99, or Free Via the Kindle Lending Library, with 4.4 Stars on 9 Reviews, and Here’s a Free Sample

A gruff mercenary believes he can somehow learn magic from an exiled warlock, and he’s picked up a blundering drunk along the way. Zhy, convinced he is part of some misdirected script, agrees to follow, hoping only for a change of scenery and a new source of ale.

The two men run into a trigger-happy mage and he joins the excursion. It isn’t long before this combination of characters results in calamity and errors in judgment; their “quest” becomes nebulous and uncertain—that is, until it smacks them collectively from the face of the world.

Guided by the spirits of the dead, an idiot man-child is close behind them. He obligingly trudges along a frozen and bitter path to stop Zhy from reaching the warlock, though he himself is only part of a devastating scheme.

From the reviewers:

“This book has all a masterpiece should have: great and clean writing, the fascinating settings, original story and very, very enjoyable characters. ”  –  Andrea Zavodska  |  5 reviewers made a similar statement

“I enjoyed the book very much and hightly recommend it. ”  –  Brian Jackson  |  2 reviewers made a similar statement

I especially enjoy reading fantasy books; I have read many, but I have to say that this one stands out of the crowd. This fast-paced book will take you on a fantastic journey of three strangers looking for a Warlock who lives in far North. You will get hooked up from the first page and the story will keep you interested and entertained until the end. This book has all a masterpiece should have: great and clean writing, the fascinating settings, original story and very, very enjoyable characters. This author is utterly talented and I hope to read more books from him in the future! –Amazon.com Reviewer

Through this fascinating fantasy runs a motif of knots and knot-tying. It’s a fitting metaphor for life and death and the four elements, earth, wind, fire and water. A fearless mercenary and a drunken landowner’s son — a sort of chosen one — set out on a quest to learn the deeper secrets of magic from a warlock who dwells in the far north. Along the way they meet all manner of creatures, magic and mortal, and adventures. The book is elegantly written und carefully edited. With his slightly baroque prose, Martin Gibbs succeeds in creating another world while preserving very tangible connections to our own world. This book is ideal for an escape into a landscape of danger and adventure. –Amazon.com Reviewer

A fantasy adventure like no other.  –  Legacy

Definitely stands out of the crowd!  –  Andrea Zavodska

Another World Imagined in this Elegantly Written Story.  –  Frederick Lee Brooke

Maria Rachel Hooley’s Romance Novel Summer Sunsets is Our eBook of the Day at just $2.99, with 4.4 Stars on 9 Reviews, and Here’s a Free Sample

Here’s the set-up for Maria Rachel Hooley’s Summer Sunsets, just $2.99 on Kindle:

In October Breezes, Devin Abbott almost lost the one person who mattered most—Skye Williams. Following a rape and an abortion she’d never counted on, she’d believed suicide the only answer, yet Devin saved her, leaving them both struggling to make sense of a future that included Skye and Devin separating for college. Sometimes, however, the past refuses to leave.

After college, the two return home to face fears time has only deepened. For Devin, that fear comes in the form of living without Skye, the one woman he’s always loved.

Skye yet feels the tremors of her abortion—tremors which have convinced her she’s unlovable. Time and again, she rejects him, leaving them both hurt, but inasmuch as Skye cannot see beyond her choice and Devin cannot shake his fear, neither anticipates how the past will shape them and how much power love yet has.

From the reviewers:

“Now that I’ve read Summer Sunsets, I’m so glad there is one. ”
LT  |  3 reviewers made a similar statement

“There was a great plot and storyline and the author does a great job of following them both.”  Catie Vargas  |  2 reviewers made a similar statement

“We should all have one person in our lives like Devin who will always be there for us, to bring us back down to earth and to reassure us when needed. ” Sara Hulce  |  1 reviewer made a similar statement

This is very much the sequel that I had been waiting for. I could not put it down.  –  Catie Vargas

I thought it was a commendable book and I recommend it to anyone who has read the first story in this two-book series, October Breezes. And if you haven’t read October Breezes then I strongly recommend that you do so.  –  “Reading, Eating, Dreaming”

Great sequel to a fantastic novel.  –  “Escape Craver”

I couldn’t put it down. By far one of my favorite books.  –  Taylor

V.V. Aku’s Sci-Fi Fantasy The Fire of Dawn is Our eBook of the Day with 4.3 Stars on 7 Reviews, and Here’s a Free Sample

Here’s the set-up for V.V. Aku’s The Fire of Dawn,  just $2.99 on Kindle:

It’s the last day of the summer holiday in The Hague when Leah Koopmans’s carefree life as a teen is brutally flipped upside down. Her pale skin turns a dazzling gold, her senses heighten, and her muscles possess an uncanny strength. But with these exhilarating new powers comes a thirst that can only be quenched by one thing: human blood

While her body craves for fresh victims and her heart drowns in guilt, she meets inhumanly handsome Max Machiavelli, who claims that Leah is an immortal like him. Infatuation ignites into blistering passion when Leah joins his coven in Amsterdam. But as the mysteries shrouding her sudden change to immortality unravel, she quickly learns that her aversion to taking life isn’t the only thing that sets her apart from this group of herculean strangers.

From the picturesque canals of Amsterdam to Corsica’s limestone cliffs and the untamed Siberian wilderness; from first loves to fierce battles, The Fire of Dawn is an extraordinary tale packed with romance, betrayal, and bloodsucking suspense that will keep you on the edge of your seat till the very last page.

From the reviewers:

“As far as vampire reading goes this was pretty interesting. I found myself immediately thrown into the story, rather than having to wait through two chapters of of the main characters history. The way this story progressed I gained the important information of the characters along the way. This book gives a slightly different take on vampires and giving how fantasy is my favorite genre it was refreshing. I most definitely recommend this story to anyone who wants to lose themselves in a vampire fantasy. It was a thrilling ride of mystery, intrigue, love and loss, action and suspense. I couldn’t put it down.” — Clair, Amazon.com customer

“I found this book very difficult to put down. It is fast paced, exciting and has a very good plot. I highly recommend it. The characters are strong, the plot is great and it is a very well written, memorable story. The strong characters are what make this books so great in my opinion. V.V Aku has a real talent for writing likeable and deep characters.” — Blackbird, Amazon.com customer

“This story hits it off from the first page to the last. This is up there with twilight with sprinkling skin.In this you have to believe in yourself plus trust the friends & family even if they are very older then you. The characters in this are amazing & very with real feelings about life & death. After the first few pages I could not stop reading until my low battery was flashing at me. This was wonderfully entertaining & burning from the inside out. I loved this book I need more stories about the character’s & cant wait for more books,keep up the great work V.V.Aku.” — Annabelle Amazon.com customer

From the Author:

I just wanted to drop a note to everyone who has read or is reading The Fire of Dawn. I hope that you may find yourself wandering around the streets of Amsterdam and sloshing through the snow of eastern Siberia. Get lost in the maze of twists and turns The Fire of Dawn has to offer and fall in love with the characters, the way I did.

It was an absolute honor creating such diverse personalities, which such different backgrounds, nationalities, and ages. I think that Leah, our heroin, is an inspiration to all eighteen-year-old girls who discover that their lives are changing and that the choices they have to make about their future aren’t easy. Like, Leah, they shall have to find the courage to follow their heart and stand up for what they believe in. For there is nothing more important. Live your life the way that you want it. Enjoy!

Victoria Danann’s My Familiar Stranger is Our eBook of the Day – Paranormal/Fantasy Romance novel that also sets up the foundation for the Black Swan series – Just 99 Cents, or Currently Free Via the Kindle Lending Library, with 4.7 Stars on 63 Reviews, and Here’s a Free Sample

A secret society, hot guys, and vampires come together for a once in a lifetime adventure and a once in a lifetime opportunity proving that true love can find you in the strangest places, even far, far from home.

Minutes ahead of inevitable assassination, Elora Laiken is forcibly transported to an alternate dimension similar, but not identical, to her own. She is stranded. Alone. Far from home. A stranger in a “strangish” land.

Of course a girl could suffer worse problems than having gorgeous suitors. Perhaps more importantly, in the midst of an epidemic of vampire related abductions, can she stay alive long enough to choose between an honor debt, true love, or the breathlessness of single-minded passion?

My Familiar Stranger is a full length, stand alone, Paranormal/Fantasy Romance novel that also sets up the foundation for the Black Swan series. It is loved by fans of paranormal romance, fantasy romance, and urban fantasy.

Erotica quotient: Some steamy scenes. No menage. No BDSM.

From the reviewers:

Victoria Danann is one of the hottest new talents in paranormal romance, emphasis on romance. A kiss of literacy climaxes in true love. Think Anne Rice meets Kresley Cole. – The Paranormal Romantic

This book is not the usual paranormal story that I am used to reading. It is way better. … There are many surprises and in this reviewer’s opinion this book had it all. – The Paranormal Romance Guild

My Familiar Stranger was a wonderfully engrossing paranormal romance with just a dash of science fiction that grabbed me from page one and didn’t let go! Ms. Danann absolutely knows how to get a series going. – Bitten by Paranormal Romance

My Familiar Stranger is a very complex book that is beautiful and heartwarming. There are numerous laugh out loud moments, as well as several nail biting edge of your seat moments. The adventure quotient is high, but not too much so. The romance in the novel is built in seamlessly, exquisitely enhancing the story. – Night Owl Reviews

Go sneak off to your reading nook, get comfy and get ready to dive into a new dimension with horrors, villains and true love that will keep the pages turning till the very end leaving you wanting more, but satisfied! – Addicted to Reading

Paranormal romance isn’t a genre I usually read but after reading the plot, I was intrigued by this book and decided to broaden my reading horizons and give it a try. I’m so glad I did because I devoured the book in less than two days! – Book Nympho

Though works of fiction are a departure for me, I have had this series simmering on the back burner of my mind for a few years. In addition to authoring and illustrating Seasons of the Witch calendars and planners, I play rock music and manage Houston’s premier variety band.

This series will include details of my education in the paranormal (formal and experiential) and anecdotes from the years when I was a practicing metaphysician, but much of the material is fantasy.

As the series develops I will begin interweaving more and more references to esoterica, real and imagined and hope you will come along for the ride. At present, seven books are planned for The Order of the Black Swan.
