Here’s the set-up:
A physicist begins a quest to measure the soul but soon founds himself drawn into the world of the enigmatic Max Richardson, where research is sold to the military at the highest bid.  However, he soon discovers another purpose when an extremely talented young psychic enters his life. He devises a project and builds a team to stretch the frontiers of exploration, only to make a reality shattering discovery….

Be prepared for a journey, an expedition that draws together fringe science, psychic powers, alternate dimensions, time travel, past lives, miracles, folklore, consciousness, conspiracy and nostalgia, in a soap opera for the soul.  Welcome to the new paranormal/science fiction series entitled ‘Seven Point Eight’.

 

‘…a twist of sci-fi confusion that asks some interesting questions. If one had special abilities to travel out of body, what would one do with them? What would the government do with it if they could? How far could one go?’ – Kindle Book Review

 

‘…sci-fi meets fantasy in this bar one night, got a little drunk and boom! Nine months later…’ – Amazon review

 

‘Seven Point Eight takes the reader on a journey through time, spanning the 1940s when science was breaking new and glorious boundaries, through the wild and free sixties, and up to the modern age…’ – The Paranormal Romance Guild

 

Written in the style of a TV series, ‘Seven Point Eight’ interweaves the human dramas of love, betrayal, bitterness and above all, courage in a world where everyone must face their own dark shadow. It takes the reader on a wild nostalgic, scientific, paranormal ride while asking some profound existential questions.

This plays out through the lives of five key characters:

  • Tahra – the smart, provocative and psychically talented new recruit.
  • Paul – the boundary-breaking physicist.
  • Max – the enigmatic businessman with military connections.
  • Ava – the intelligent geneticist, bewildered by her surreal experiences.
  • Sam – the bitter artist/musician who, together with Ava, seeks answers to a shrouded past.

Captivating and intelligently written – definitely could appeal to fans of Star Trek, Star Wars, Dan Brown books, fans of the Jodie Foster film ‘Contact’ and anyone who loves X-Men” – Dream Reads

‘an enthralling read from start to finish… this book has real originality and portrays an intricate journey… an intriguing and mind-bending journey that leaves the reader asking themselves huge life questions.’ – BookStackReviews.com

‘Ms Harbon manages to take the threads of an epic story and weave them together with skill… on top of all this, it’s just a darned good story.’ – Supernatural Suspense.com

 ‘I became totally immersed in this story and read it in two days’. – Heather’s Book Nook

‘One of my top reads of the year. This author will go far.’ – Dawn Chapman, screenwriter and script editor.

Warning: One of the most controversial, bestselling thrillers on Amazon.  You can handle an R-rated movie on a difficult subject, right?

READER’S CHOICE REVIEW

“With so many people praising this book, why do you need to hear from me? I’m writing this review because this book meets my 300 rule, i.e. 300 years from now, people will still be reading it, and still hooked page after page. It’s a rare author that does that for me.” -R.Matejek (5/5 stars)
___________________________________________________

PRAISE FOR ENEMY IN BLUE,  A THRILLER (130,000 words long)

“For action, body-count and digging into the underworld of police politics – this is really a great read. However, I think the best asset of the novel is the incredible drawing of the antagonist – the evil Sergeant Shaver really shines.” -K.Hall, author of Red Mojo Mama (5/5 stars)

The plot is as gripping as it is chilling. The story flows smoothly, and each chapter ends with the perfect amount of suspense to keep you wanting more. A fantastic and exciting read, as I could not put the book down.” -B.Burton (5/5 stars)

“The first half of the book is non-stop action, raw, gritty, and suspenseful…I could not imagine what the 2nd half would hold. Turns out it’s a legal thriller, with suspense building more slowly but just as captivating.” -Tx Rose (5/5 stars)

“His clean, uncluttered writing style adds to the nail biting you’re adapt to do while reading this gritty thriller, because Blass doesn’t give you a chance to breathe.” -E.Stokes, author of Cassidy Jones and the Secret Formula (5/5 stars)

Here’s the set-up:

Montana Territory 1867 ~ When Laura Hewett follows her father out of the mountains she never expects to lose him to an avalanche before they reach their destination of Helena, in the Territory of Montana. With the help of her friend Raven Quiver, Laura arrives at the Prickly Pear Ranch on her sixteenth birthday. Her life changes forever when she learns that the man who raised her was not her real father. Daniel Hewett stole her mother and her, leaving behind a twin sister, Lilly.

Lilly Rolston is spoiled, possessive, demanding, and uncaring; all traits she leaned well from her father, Gerhard Rolston. Lilly is furious to find out not only does she have a twin sister, but she now has a half-Blackfeet brother, Jason Rolston. If it’s true, then she no longer is the sole heir of the Rolston Prickly Pear Ranch as well as the Rolston rich gold-producing Golden Eagle Mine. This is not the sixteenth birthday surprise she was hoping for.

Betrayed by Lilly, Andy Meldrum is bent on revenge and kidnaps Laura. Upon learning he has taken the wrong girl, he goes back and captures Lilly. He’ll trade the pair as slaves to the Blackfeet; putting the high and mighty Lilly Rolston in her place.

The young women quickly discover they are nothing alike. Laura, the rough and wilderness savvy one is appalled by her prim and proper, as well as self-important counter-part. Lilly is likewise appalled by the ill-speaking, ill-dressed, and ill-mannered woman who is now claiming a place in her life.

After sixteen years destiny brings them back together, while fate works against them in the challenges of survival. It quickly becomes apparent the women must learn to trust and rely on each other. Unexpectedly a strong love builds, connecting the sisters and the men destiny chose for them. This is a gripping tale of endurance, growth, and the bonding ties of twin sisters.

Here’s the set-up:

Buried in a hidden chamber beneath the great Sphinx of Giza, lies the most potent secret in history. Older than the pyramids, older than Atlantis, it has the power to change the world. Powerful men will do anything to posses it. There is just one thing standing in their way – the living Sphinx itself.

From The Author

Scarab is a fast-paced entertaining read on a fascinating subject – quantum mechanics, with a dash of fanciful archeological intrigue, suspense, and some graphic content. The story traces the devastating effect of a secret code, found in a hidden chamber beneath the Sphinx of Giza, on the world’s first quantum computer chip – a chip, which exhibits a remarkable side effect: human-like consciousness.

I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of playfully mixing genres to sprinkle a sense of freshness and excitement in the stories we tell, and this has certainly been my intention here. Although I wrote Scarab some time back, and recently updated it for publication on kindle, the notion of multiple universes it draws on is very current. I find the subject endlessly intriguing and intend to revisit it in the future. Thank you for your support of independent writing.

One Reviewer Notes

“From the first page, I was absolutely hooked. I love Egyptian history and intrigue so this book was a perfect fit. In addition, I found the sensual scenes a nice ‘extra.’ Realism is important in a story. This novel gets two thumbs up!” – Amazon Reviewer, 5 Stars

About The Author

Let’s see: I was born in Alexandria Egypt, grew up in Greece, lived and studied in South Africa and in London, taught screenwriting and digital media in Australia, have just completed a PhD in narrative studies, and have recently found creative freedom through publishing on amazon.com. I like stories of all sorts, but I especially love science fiction, horror, and thrillers or any mixture thereof. I’m also looking forward to being the first octogenarian on board that manned mission to Mars. As long as I can upload my next novel to Kindle from up there, that is.

Beautiful Seattle business heiress Gina Fiore has vanished without a trace. Desperate for help, her family turns to Danny Logan, Gina’s former boyfriend, to find her and bring her home safely.

In order to prevail, Logan’s going to need all the skill and luck he can gather, and he’s going to need to confront the unresolved feelings he still has for Gina— feelings that might just get him killed!

Reviews

“This first installment of a planned series has a definite but not unpleasant screenplay style. The story zips right along: straightforward with more action than introspection, explanation over exploration, and just enough rationalizing by Danny to explain away any doubt we might have about his decisions. With two more books in the works and a cast of interesting characters awaiting development, this author is worth watching.” – Kirkus Reviews

“The intensity continues to build. Just when you think you have it solved, Grayson throws you a wild curve. It was an excellent read. I highly recommend it.” – Mack McCormick, Author, Terrorist at the Bus Stop

“Angel Dance was so much fun to read that I completed it in one day in Cape Cod on vacation. In fact, I resented anyone who interrupted my reading time!”  – Bella Luna, Book Reviewer

About the Author:
M.D. Grayson is the author of Angel Dance – the first of the Danny Logan mystery series. He lives on an island near Seattle with his wife Michelle and their three German shepherds. He’s a pilot, a boater, and a former Las Vegas strip piano player.

Here’s the set-up:

IN A WORLD WITHOUT COLOR, ILLUMINATED BY A SILVER SUN…

SHE IS WILLING TO FIGHT FOR ONE MAN UNTO DEATH…

ANOTHER IS WILLING TO DIE FOR HER.

Imagine a world without color, illuminated by a gray sun …

An unrequited love…
War… mystery… exultation…

An epic fantasy of unspeakable wonder…

LORDS OF RAINBOW

Imagine a sudden brilliant flash — an artificial orb ignites, filled with peculiar impossible light…

The nature of this light bears no description. It lingers in dreams, inciting an unrequited love for a goddess.

A corrupt city is shaped like a perfect wheel, and is ruled by a sister and brother, Regent and Regentrix, by perverse desires, and by a secret…

A loyal warrior woman swears to serve a mysterious lord. At the same time, an epic invasion is precipitated by a being of utter darkness, who is the one absolute source of black in a monochrome silver world.

And amid all this, flickers an ancient memory of a phenomenon called Rainbow and of those who had once filled the world with an impossible thing called color…

Lords of Rainbow.

Reviews

“In a world devoid of color, the woman warrior Ranhé swears herself to a mysterious nobleman traveling to the exotic city of Tronaelend-Lis, the City of Dreams, where a decadent brother and sister rule as co-regents in the absence of the land’s true ruler. When an evil being representing true Darkness threatens the safety of the colorless world, Ranhé is drawn into a spiritual journey in search of a legendary phenomenon known as Rainbow in an attempt to find a way to defeat the dark. The author of Dreams of the Compass Rose brings to life a unique fantasy world in which lost colors hold the key to salvation. Nazarian’s fluid storytelling and vividly drawn characters make this unusual fantasy a good choice for most libraries.” — Library Journal

“Nazarian creates a unique civilization and populates it with heroic archetypes who stand on their own. Extravagant language reminiscent of Dunsany and even Tolkien adds to the legendary feel. . . . an innovative premise, consistent world-building, and appealing heroes mark this as the work of an emerging talent . . . readers may find themselves heralding a new star of fantasy fiction.” — Romantic Times Book Club

“To read Vera Nazarian’s Lords of Rainbow is to be immersed in a dream, wandering through a wondrous, shifting landscape where the sun shines silver and the world is rendered in an infinite palette of subtle grays, filled with glimpses of sublime loveliness and glorious color.” — Jacqueline Carey, author of KUSHIEL’S DART

“…like all of Vera’s stories—strange, poignant, and exquisite… her novel about a world without color—strange when what she writes is so colorful.” — Marion Zimmer Bradley

“Vividly described in rich prose that entrances like a magic spell, Lords of Rainbow will resonate with readers like the stories of childhood. It is not only prefaced with a lovely and accessible poem, it also reads like poetry. Thus, when taken as fable, there is much in this book to love. For in the end, we find a twisted Cinderella tale where an ugly, common girl can be elevated by noble spirit, and a city can be transformed by magic.” — Stephanie Dray, Strange Horizons

About The Author

Here’s the set-up:

Sparks fly when Delaney Brannigan and Blake Morrisson meet at the Cedar Cove annual costume dance. Known only to each other as the leopard and the cowboy that night, Delaney soon discovers the cowboy she thought had ridden off into the sunset never to tempt her again, is none other than the man she came from New York to find and discredit. Against her will, she’s drawn deeper into an overwhelming attraction to Blake—an attraction she can’t give in to if she wants to keep the one thing she values more than anything else.

Blake has spent months trying to find the son he never knew existed until a chance encounter with an old friend. Finding the boy has been the only thing he cared about—that is until Delaney Brannigan came to town. Now the bewitching woman has him thinking he might be ready to settle down—but then he discovers Dleaney isn’t who she appeared to be, and Delaney’s hopes and dreams are shattered as the truth threatens to uproot her world.

Will these two lovers lose one another in a web of deception, or will the small town boy and the girl from New York find a way to trust their hearts and discover a once in a lifetime happiness?
