From the reviewers:

… an interesting novel that is actually quite different from the typical vampire-related story, and I was incapable(for the most part)of pulling myself away from the pages of the book and the enthralling beginning of Jason Hook’s tale. – Markusiouse Doherty

I have never felt so much emotion and suspense from a book before and it literally made me scared to sleep at nightm scared that a Dahmshed would come to my house and attack me in the middle of the night! I was so amazed by the wording of this book and so surprised that a 16 year old wrote this! – Lily Rose

If you like vampires and original ideas then you’ll love this book. It’s not a copy cat story like so may others! – Krysta Mcfarland

Daniel Koch has a great imagination and a unique writing style that will appeal to all readers. Once I started this book I could not put it down. – Doreen

My writing interests are a result of being raised on Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings as well as Stephen King and of course Bram Stroker’s Dracula. Like these books, I can see my book from its prologue through the movie credits.

The Protector is part of a four book series and I look forward to continuing the saga of Jason, developing his relationship with Aderes and further exposing the biblical implications that will certainly raise a few eyebrows.

Book One Descendant: The Protector
Book Two Descendant: The Devil’s Minions
Book Three is currently in progress….The Black Wolf.

January 14, 2012 by KND

Here’s the set-up for Karen Cantwell’s Take the Monkeys and Run, just 99 Cents on Kindle:

Film lover Barbara Marr is a typical suburban mom living the typical suburban life in her sleepy little town of Rustic Woods, Virginia.

Typical, that is until she sets out to find the missing link between a bizarre monkey sighting in her yard and the bone chilling middle-of-the-night fright fest at the strangely vacant house next door.

When Barb talks her two friends into some seemingly innocent Charlie’s Angels-like sleuthing, they stumble upon way more than they bargained for and uncover a piece of neighborhood history that certain people would kill to keep on the cutting room floor.

237 pages of laugh-out-loud fun.

From the reviewers:

“This fun if light novel’s quippy, hilarious narrator, Barbara Marr, has so much warmth and genuine gumption, you’d certainly want her on your criminal investigative team.” – Publishers Weekly

“The story is fast-paced, fun and with quite a few twists all rolled into one cute adventure.” – Socrate’s Book Reviews

“It was just plain fun to read.” – Red Adept Reviews

“Take the Monkeys and Run by Karen Cantwell could easily become one of my favorite books of all time.” — Syria Says

“If you like a good mystery but want a refreshing new take with a bit of light fare, enough to make you laugh out loud, then Karen Cantwell’s Take the Monkeys and Run will take you there.” Reviewed by Lee Libro at Literary Magic

From the author:

Welcome!

I’m so glad and honored that you have visited my author page.

I have been writing plays and short stories for many years, some of which were published in various college literary magazines. More recently, my short story “The Recollections of Rosabelle Raines,” was published in the mystery anthology Chesapeake Crimes: They Had it Comin’ available at Amazon.com in print editions only.

My first novel, TAKE THE MONKEYS AND RUN, is a comedy-mystery, inspired, to some degree by a true monkey sighting in my own neighborhood. Because I love to laugh as well as make other people laugh, I have great fun writing the characters Barbara Marr, her friends and her adversaries. When I set out to write this book, I knew I wanted to write something that readers would say, “Now that was FUN.” I HOPE I have achieved that goal. And if I did, please feel free to drop me a line at and let me know! I love to hear from readers. (especially if they LIKE the book!)

I’ve recently released a new book called FOXY’S TALE, co-written with my friend LB Gschwandtner. This is the first in a planned chick-lit series. And your favorite soccer Mom sleuth awaits you in the second Barbara Marr novel, CITIZEN INSANE. You can find out more about these upcoming books at my website, www.KarenCantwell.com.

**Kindle Nation Daily Bargain Book Alert: Ken Pence’s AT FIRST THOUGHT is Our eBook of the Day at just $2.99, with 5.0 Stars on 2 Reviews, and Here’s a Free Sample!**

January 12, 2012 by KND

Here’s the set-up for Ken Pence’s At First Thought, just $2.99 on Kindle:

Robert Thales, an otherwise unremarkable cop in a mid-sized city, is developing an ability to read minds. This ability gets him promoted from a report writing car to a solo car in a high crime area.

His work in the high crime area gets him noticed – not in a good way. The economy of the city teeters except where illicit drug sales and adult businesses are concerned. Criminals can’t launder their illicit monies fast enough and the business leaders can’t get the loans they need.

Financing the new convention center requires billions in municipal bonds and this need is the root of a political takeover. The formerly unremarkable cop is thrown into the middle of the scheme. Everyone is trying to get Thales out of the picture.

How can he get the Feds to prosecute a case that nobody wants — and do something in only one month?

Injured, out-of-work, and hounded by hired guns; he may not live long enough to perfect his talent.

The reader plunges into the mind of a young street cop who is faced with current and developing criminal conspiracies. The criminal leader becomes obsessed with removing this threat. Business leaders are drawn into a criminal web of murder and extortion through their quest for good investments. Reading minds may help in sexual encounters but its not living up to its potential anywhere else.

This 70,000 word novel must be fiction because the D.A. and federal authorities would do anything to stop this type of crime if these crimes were happening today. Wouldn’t they?

From the reviewers:

The idea of mind reading can be tough to pull off, but in At First Thought it is done very well. The protagonist suddenly discovers he can read minds and then goes on a journey to pull down a corrupt crime lord who is running the politics of the city. Set in a future Nashville that is somewhat reminiscent of today. Overall, a great read, but do be warned this book has some explicit sex scenes so it may not be for your 8 year old. — Drew Scoggins

On a given day, any time I started to read this book, I simply could not put it down!!! To me, Thales’ character is kind of an everyman with mental powers…. His reactions made sense for the average Joe who was suddenly given the power to read minds. That includes the ways in which Thales, like any other human being, takes advantage of his new abilities for his own personal Gaines;I don’t know which is funnier: Thales’ reactions to what he reads from people’s minds, or other people’s reactions to Thales’ behavior after he reads their minds…Again, a compelling read and a must-get!!! – Birddog
