PULSE – What if You Can Begin Life All Over Again? In Kailin Gow’s novel PULSE, Kalina is the elusive dream all vampires have – to return to their human state.

Here’s the set-up:
17 year-old Kalina didn’t know her boyfriend was a vampire until the night he died of a freak accident. She didn’t know he came from a long line of vampires until the night she was visited by his half-brothers Jaegar and Stuart Greystone. There were a lot of secrets her boyfriend didn’t tell her. Now she must discover them in order to stay alive. But having two half-brothers vampires around has just gotten interesting.

The PULSE Series, starting with PULSE, is the Award-Winning Finalist in two categories – “Fiction: Romance” and “Fiction: Multicultural” of the 2011 International Book Awards, where Pulse’s author Kailin Gow won first place overall in Fiction Horror.

Start reading an excerpt of PULSE here:

She ran like an animal. Her clothes were wet, sopping, clinging to her thighs and to her chest, hollow and transparent around the curve of her shoulders. Her hair shook out droplets of rain; her cheeks were flushed and she was breathless. He could see her heartbeat throbbing at the side of her throat, see it in the rhythmic panting, hear it from across the street, pounding in his ears, intermingled with the thunder bolting from the sky. He could feel it – it felt like an earthquake to him, shaking his ribs, his shoulders, his legs. It had been so long since he had seen a heartbeat like hers – since he had felt a heartbeat at all.

The skies had opened up – as they so often did in North California – without any warning, without any hesitation. It was as if the smooth blue glass ceiling of the world had shattered all at once, letting the primordial oceans pound down upon the pavement. He could see her consternation, her irritation – she wanted nothing but to get out of the rain, to dry herself off, to curl up into something warm and dry.

But Jaegar loved the rain. He loved the energy – the pulse of life beating down upon the earth.

Kindle Nation Bargain Alert: Summer Beach Reads by Kindle Nation Fave Robyn Bradley … and Each of Them at Just 99 Cents!

(Ed. Note: It’s always a treat to introduce a talented writer for a guest post – especially when she has a gift for hitting the sweet spot at intersection of Great Reads and great Prices! — S.W.)

A Guest Post by Robyn Bradley
If you’re a fan of books that fall somewhere between smart chick lit and women’s fiction, you won’t want to miss Forgotten April…a sister story with an edge.
One Amazon reviewer calls it a “great summertime read because it’s smart but also fast-paced and fun.” Another says, “It was very hard to put this novel down. I thought about it when my mind wasn’t otherwise occupied, wondering what was going to happen next.”

If you’re in the mood for something shorter — you know, something to read in between naps while floating around the pool — check out the short story “Crush.” It’s literary and quirky, but consider yourself warned: you may never look at a Cape Cod beach in the same way ever again.
What’s it about? Here’s the scoop: Living a quiet life as a single mother, Louise Gunther is proud to have successfully raised her only child, Teddy, to adulthood. But all that changes one summer afternoon when Teddy dies in a freak accident on a Cape Cod beach. Moved beyond ordinary grief, Louise becomes obsessed with the manner in which Teddy died, determined to recreate his final moments, even if it means dying herself.

Part gothic,

part thriller: 

In Kailin Gow’s Beautiful Beings, the realm of the spiritual world where angels and demons walk the earth is revealed in a captivating story about a girl named Lux, who is gifted with the ability to see the spiritual realm and to use this gift to save souls.

Part gothic, part love story, part thriller; Beautiful Beings introduces a feisty heroine, the hypnotic otherworldly beautiful classmates she meets at an exclusive boarding school, and the love she could never have.

Read an excerpt here:

“A wave of warmth, scented with cinnamon, entered the still darkness of my room. As I sat up in bed, it tickled my nostrils and brought me to a state of semi-consciousness; aware I was in my room, but with the distant knowledge that I wasn’t fully awake.

In the corner, between my clutter filled dresser and my half opened window, I saw his shadow. He’d come again, dark, silent and mysterious as he stood waiting for me to acknowledge him. I should have been filled with fear and the desire to scream out for help. My body should have reacted swiftly to the intrusion, shooting out of bed and clambering to find the comfort of my parents’ room. But I felt safe and longed for him to stay.

He stepped forward, shadows forever keeping him obscured and allowing me to take in only the breadth of his shoulders, his strong and powerful height and just a hint of glimmer in his eyes. I detected a flash of joy and love in that glimmer.

When he sat on the edge of my bed and reached out to caress my face, I didn’t flinch or back away. It was as it should be, as it always should have been. His touch belonged to me; his hands, his fingers, all so warm, caring, loving. My head suddenly heavy, I leaned my cheek into his palm, wanting more than just a gentle caress…”

But that’s not all!

His muscular body turned my way, and he crossed the room in a few decisive steps.  I noticed with a startling sense of awe that his eye color had changed.  Instead of the crystal-blue hue that I had seen time after time, even in my dreams, his eyes were brilliantly silver and the dark brows arching defiantly over them were creased with tension.  He grasped one of my hands, pulled it towards him, and turned it over.
“Michael…”  I breathed his name like a prayer.
I watched, disbelievingly, as he pressed a fiery kiss into the palm of my hand.  I had never before felt the alarming sensation of Michael’s lips on my flesh.  It was a moment I would not soon forget.  Every other sensation in my body ground to a sudden halt when I felt the warmth of his lips.  It seemed as if every other part of my body had gone numb with the shock of it.  But the palm of my hand was burning.  It was a rolling heat that made me gasp.
When I raised my head to look at him, all I saw was a blur of motion.  He had moved so fast that I had barely realized he was leaving.  I heard the backdoor open and the screen door squeak as he passed through to the back yard.  Then a terribly cold silence fell over the room.

Eileen Schuh’s compelling debut novel THE TRAZ confronts young readers with life’s complicated and unsettling issues, but it also provides a guide to help illuminate these challenges – 12 straight rave reviews, just $2.99 on Kindle

THE TRAZ, a newly released YA novel, is as daring, raw, and spirited as its young heroine. It’s exhilarating entertainment but it also contains a vital message for those on the cusp of maturity and for the adults who guide them. All lessons all deeply woven into the fast-paced action, the superlative characterizations, and the inter-generational relationships that make this book a page-turner.
Eileen Schuh

Eileen Schuh’s debut novel has received multiple 5-star ratings and been honored with superlative reviews from several top authors. THE TRAZ has garnered a 4.8-star rating on 12 straight rave reviews and is currently available on Kindle for just $2.99.

Katrina is thirteen, an orphan, grieving and alone. But she is more than that. She’s intelligent, beautiful, wealthy, and intrigued by the dangers of street life.

Shrug’s a giant of a man with a voice of thunder and eyes of granite. He has tattoos, a leather jacket with The Traz gang patch, and a motorbike. When he asks Katrina if she wants a ride, she makes a decision that will change her life forever.

Katrina quickly discovers the violent and horrifying side of life on The Traz compound. But there is no way for her to escape until she meets Chad—an undercover cop with rich brown eyes, a gentle chuckle, and a plan to get Katrina safely out of the clutches of the gang.

However, there’s a problem…somebody is keeping dangerous secrets from them both.

Praise for THE TRAZ

“The Traz is well written and beautifully set up. The author definitely has a plan for the whole series, and it’s gonna be good.” ―Michelle Latiolais, Reading Lark Reviews

“Schuh creates complex characters and raw dialogue. This is a fast paced novel where redemption is found on the saddle of a Harley.” –Garry Ryan, author of the Detective Lane mysteries.

“Raw and emotional with fast-paced, gripping tension, The Traz is a must-read for tweens, teens and parents.”―Cheryl Kaye Tardif, bestselling author of Children of the Fog

“5-stars! Check out this dangerous ride today…I highly-recommend this book.” ―Donna Carrick, award-winning author of The First Excellence

Schuh’s young readers do not have to face life’s complicated and unsettling issues alone. THE TRAZ is released with a Teaching Guide to give youngsters, parents, educators, law enforcers, and other community leaders an opportunity to discuss and explore the darkness that at-risk teens are both facing and fleeing.
