Imogene's Message: A Paranormal Thriller by Chris Sherborne

When extreme religious fundamentalists known as the Phineas Priesthood led by Ezekiel Yates and his three cousins, target Xantara Pembroke because they believe she is a witch, they launch a major conflict between unworldly disciples of good and evil. This 60,000-word, action-packed thriller shows the twists and turns of both sides as they try to destroy or save the souls of earth.

Imogene is the daughter of Xantara, a Guardian of Avebury Circle, an ancient monument near Stonehenge. For over three thousand years, wives of eight village families have performed ceremonies to heal local people, with power handed down from first daughter to first daughter. Will the world believe Imogene’s incredible message?

*****

“I just finished editing a thriller by an Australian writer Chris Sherborne, titled “Imogene’s Message.” I was so impressed with it that I offered to recommend it. This is only the second time I’ve done this in my 50 year professional editing career, so you can see that I’m enthused with her work. She has a good story, tells it well, and knows how to use good hooks and writing to keep readers engaged.” Don McNair

“This book has the potential to go viral!” Mike Smith of Creating Lifestyle.

“Neither of us could put this book down, reading it in one sitting.” June & Peter Phillips

“Imogene’s Message is packed with excitement. I can’t wait for the next one.” Julie Lilley, UK

*****

Xantara is a Guardian of Avebury Circle, an ancient monument near Stonehenge. For over three thousand years, wives of eight village families have performed ceremonies to heal local people, with power handed down from first daughter to first daughter.

Xantara’s first daughter Imogene is “accidentally” killed on the Isle of Angels, and her father Braeden is distraught. Ezekiel persuades him to join him, to ensure his daughter’s home in heaven. The doctor quickly realizes he’s made a mistake, but it’s too late.

Imogene is brought back to life by the Light Beings at Avebury Circle. Ezekiel’s family commit several atrocities in the name of God, and vow to destroy Imogene to stop her delivering a message from the Council of Elders.

The fast-paced battle which follows pits the Phineas Priesthood against the Pembroke family, and the evil entities against the Light Beings.

An explosion demolishing a church apparently wipes out the Priesthood. But did it, really? Will the world believe Imogene’s incredible message?

Seekers: A World Within a World by Liz Morris

Life is not a game of chance … It is an encounter. The answers are sealed within the journey. Only a few will find them.

Everything around Nettle Gray and Tommy Jones is not what it seems. They are being watched. While every other college student is living a normal life, they are being enticed into a mystifying realm that uproots their core beliefs, and sends them on an explosive chase that unravels the supernatural. After being stretched to their limits, messages from an unidentified source plunge them into a riveting game of cat and mouse, finding corruption at every turn. Trying to identify the source of these mysterious messages, they decide to disappear in the dead of night, searching deep into the Arizona desert. What they find is spellbinding. They are paralyzed… a terrorizing drama unfolding right before their eyes.

Then Redimir, the most brilliant, attractive, yet beguiling mortal on the face of the earth, changes the game drastically. Seduced by his power and captivated by his charisma, they move in to find out more. Life might be easier if they played by the rules…but they can’t. Not now…not ever. What in the world is going on? What else will they uncover?

Throwing caution to the wind, they enter the cave. The consequences of failure unimaginable. They will never be the same again.


Highly encouraged! There's more than meets the eye! ~Trish

On a recent trip to Vegas, Katrina Parker really crapped out. Married, widowed, and with no memory of either event, Kat suddenly develops the ability to communicate with comatose people. But what happens in Vegas doesn't always stay there — especially when it comes to the supernatural. Even back in Houston, trouble still haunts her.

After agreeing to try to help the coma-stricken daughter of a mob boss, Kat discovers the assault that placed the poor girl in the hospital was only the beginning. Aided by her amnesic vampire housemate, a former Vegas detective, a spunky turtle, and a man who may or may not have a neck, Kat vows to discover who is behind it all … before she becomes the next victim.

HIDDEN DOORS, SECRET ROOMS, by Jamie Eubanks

HIDDEN DOORS, SECRET ROOMS - a paranormal suspense novel.

"Superbly crafted and flawlessly executed, Eubanks doles out both plot and back-story in small doses, expertly keeping readers turning page after page...This is a phenomenal first novel; an excellent read for anyone who loves mystery, and would-be writers who want to learn exactly how it's done." - KIRKUS REVIEWS

Jillian Braedon possesses a secret so explosive that she must be silenced. On the run with her five-year-old daughter, stranded in the middle of a blizzard and critically injured, Jill sends little Valerie off into the raging storm alone. The child stumbles onto the property of retired musician-turned-recluse, John Mills, begging for help. John soon finds himself caught up in their torment, and face-to-face with the pursuing covert agents, who will do anything to destroy the secret, and silence everyone involved.

About the Author

"When I was a child, the family would go on these long cross-country drives. And believe me when I say it can get very boring, in a maddening kind of way, for a young child to share the backseat of a car with two other children for 8 hours or more, every day, for a couple of weeks. To keep the boredom away, as we drove down the road, I'd stare out through the car window and pick out a house. As I continued to stare at the passing scenery, I'd make up scenarios in my head, invent an entire family to reside in that house, and let my imagination conjure up personalities, conflicts, giving the characters not only a present, but a history, and try to picture what they did with their days, how they lived their lives.

"Writing, to me, is a natural progression of those childhood daydreams that kept me sane on those long trips across country."

The Former World (A Little Forest Paranormal Mystery), by Jessica Grace Coleman

The Former World: Book One in the Little Forest paranormal mystery series.

“Little Forest is the only place I've ever lived, and it's the place where I'm going to die. Tonight.” These are the words of Beth Powers, long-time resident of Little Forest. On the surface, she’s just an ordinary English girl in a typical English village, but appearances can be deceiving… extremely deceiving.

There’s something lurking beneath the picturesque façade of the English village of Little Forest, something dark and disconcerting, something which the vast majority of the residents are refusing to see…

Fed up with living in the tiny, gossip-fuelled village, twenty-one year old Beth resolves to escape to London with her best friend, Veronica Summers. That is, until something throws a spanner in the works. A rather large spanner. A dead body, to be exact. A dead body found early one morning in the spooky surroundings of the Great Specton Woods.

The apparently accidental death of Beth’s work colleague sets off the small community’s well-oiled rumour mill, and Beth soon finds herself in the middle of a bizarre village conspiracy. Potential suspects start appearing in all shapes and sizes – including the handsome new resident, mystery man Connor Maguire, who has conveniently just arrived in Little Forest – and with the police refusing to consider murder, Beth takes it upon herself to investigate. At least it’s a good distraction from the other strange and unusual things that have started happening in her generally boring life; let’s just say that Beth’s work colleague isn’t the only dead person she has to deal with these days. After all, it isn’t always something as innocent as the ghosts of past memories that come to get you…

With the help of rather unlikely ally Will Wolseley, Beth delves into the village’s sinister secrets and, in turn, uncovers a terrifying truth about herself that could change her life forever.

Unfortunately, she might not have much of ‘forever’ left, as when it comes right down to it, it’s not a question of whether or not she’ll decide to leave her childhood home. The question is whether or not Little Forest will let her go.

The Former World is reminiscent of a good old-fashioned English mystery thriller, updated to the twenty-first Century but still relying on the quaint locations of the beautiful English countryside: close-knit villages, local pubs, ancient castles, large, looming forests and magnificent Stately homes. This enchanting rural environment gives Beth the perfect setting to explore the ominous events that threaten to shake up her small village and her life.

“Jessica Grace Coleman is one of the most exciting new writers around. Her stories inspire, entertain and mesmerise. An absolute must-read.” - Adam Croft, English author.

Jessica Grace Coleman brings you the first novel in the paranormal mystery 'Little Forest' series, setting the stage for the follow ups: 'Memento Mori,' 'The Exalted' and 'Carnival Masquerade'. The fifth in the series - The Gloaming - will be released in Spring/Summer 2014.

A fan of mystery books and horror writers, Coleman delves into the world of legends and paranormal activity in this supernatural series, leading her own investigation into the fictional fantasy landscape that permeates readers’ darkest fears. The Little Forest series isn’t just concerned with spirits of the dead or other ghost stories, it’s about how we would react if these terrifying spectres actually did come into our world. How would you react?

About the Author

Jessica Grace Coleman was born in Stafford, England and raised in the nearby village of Little Haywood, a quaint English location that would later be remodelled into Beth Powers' home village in the Little Forest novels.

She studied Film Studies and American Studies at the University of Sussex in Brighton, and attended the University of Colorado at Boulder for a year as part of her course. A big fan of travelling, she has road tripped around North America and backpacked across China, South East Asia, Australia, and New Zealand.

When not writing about ghouls and ghosts, Jessica edits Rock Pulse (www.rockpulse.co.uk), an online UK music zine, and has had the pleasure of interviewing many bands and artists in the past including The Darkness, InMe, Simple Plan, Bowling for Soup, HIM, Sugarcult, Less Than Jake, Yellowcard, Taking Back Sunday and Funeral for a Friend.

Jessica has so far self-published four books in the Little Forest series: The Former World, Memento Mori, The Exalted and Carnival Masquerade. She has also released her first short story collection, Grown By The Wicked Moon, featuring 14 weird and wonderful tales. The Gloaming, the fifth installment of the Little Forest series, will be available soon.

I, Target (Part 1), by Bruce Rousseau

My name is Marko Santana and I have been killed many times.

You see, each time I am killed, my mind jumps into the killer's body and I take over. It's weird but simple: if someone kills me, I get their body.

So does that make me the ultimate crime-fighter? Maybe a cool body-snatcher kind of guy? Or nothing but a freakin' brain parasite? Personally, I prefer to think of myself as the ultimate survivor--with a serious personality disorder.

I am not your father's punch and run superhero. I am a problem in motion--and for better or worse, I am on the road to being seriously mental.

Join me on my quest for purpose and sanity as I journey through life in other people's bodies. For these are the chronicles of one who feeds on killers--my killers. These are the chronicles of Marko Santana.

Born in Texas. Died all over.

"I, Target" is a 5-part ebook serial and each part must be read in order. Each part is approximately 100 pages. "I, Target" will also be released in its entirety as a 500+ page trade paperback novel and as a complete ebook.

Warning: "I, Target" contains no cool graphics. But it does have humor, adult language, and starting in part 2 it contains some humorous adult sexual situations. So don't say you weren't warned.

About the Author

Bruce Rousseau is the author of the paranormal semi-superhero series "I, TARGET" and the unconventional mystery novel "French Tango."

Bruce was born in Fairbanks, Alaska and raised in California where he received a B.A. in Drama from CSUS. He now resides in Texas with his fiancée and the usual literary helper cats.

As a past member of Austin Script Works, his 10-minute play Dark Ink was selected as one of 8 plays produced in their Out of Ink Festival. Plays must be written in 48 hours and incorporate 3 very unusual ingredients.

Vampire Assassin (Jane #1), by Samantha Warren

"More please."

All vampires deal with their immortality different. "Jane" is a series that chronicles the life (and death) of Jane, a young woman who became a vampire through less than desirable circumstances. After which, she decides to make her extra pointy teeth work in her favor.

These are serial novellas, similar to what you may find in a fantasy magazine. In this 15,000 word installment, Jane takes you with her on one of her jobs and through the intriguing tale about how she became immortal.

About the Author

Samantha Warren is a fantasy and science fiction author who spends her days immersed in dragons, spaceships, and vampires. In the name of research, she enlisted the help of her pet dragon Anethesis and together they built a ark-like spaceship. Three trips through a hole in the time-space continuum allowed the pair to explore the universe decades into the past and eons into the future. They discovered how life would be without Earth and were forced to run from alien law enforcement when their ship was deemed unspaceworthy. In the long run, the constant space repairs cut into Samantha's sock fetish fund, so she sold her ark for half-price to a slimy creature that made Jabba the Hutt look like Brad Pitt.

After her years of traveling, she returned to her roots. When she isn't writing or reading, she is milking cows or trying to feed them Pop-Tarts and FiberOne bars (they like neither). She also spends her spare time collecting zombie gnomes, drinking lattes at the Village Cafe, or watching any show featuring Gordon Ramsay. Anethesis remains by her side, sleeping away the day and hunting evil cat-eating coyotes by night.

Book and screenplay ideas come to me in seconds, and I see the whole story in colour like a movie, just like a download to my brain.
One screenplay I wrote for a NY producer, he wanted to call me, to write from the treatment. I didn't think the content was right for me, and was about to say "no!" However in five minutes on the phone, with him talking, I said "Wait! I have it," and saw the whole story clearly, and wrote the screenplay in 5 days.
I don't write for ego or credit! I only write what suits me, and gives me a buzz.
Let me amaze you as you follow my writing career.

Kindle Spotlight: Blood Vengeance (Vengeance Trilogy)

Blood Vengeance (Vengeance Trilogy)

By: Teresa Keefer

The heroine, Abigail Cooper, has a gift. She discovered that she has the gift of mediumship, inherited from her grandmother who visits her from the ‘other side’. When her teenaged sister—Reilly—goes missing with a suspected cult leader, Abigail uses her sixth sense which leads her to steamy, mysterious, modern day New Orleans.

Abigail herself is met with some danger when she is attacked by a serial rapist/murderer but is rescued by a tall, dark and mysterious man and returned to her hotel room unharmed but missing most of her memory of the attack and the events that followed. However, with help from the other side, she soon comes to understand why.

Her rescuer was none other than the wealthy, attractive, seductive and centuries old vampire by the name of Vincent Adcock. Vincent and his group of fellow vampires have been ridding the south of criminal predators in their own way for many years as a means to feed as well as a means to seek solace from what they are.

Knowing the danger of entering the vampire’s lair, Abigail follows him home from a club one night and puts herself at his and his colleagues’ mercy to ask for their help in locating and rescuing her sister. This comes with a price as she becomes a prisoner in his home.

The tale takes Abigail into a world of vampires, the supernatural, drugs, prostitution, and murder as the group searches for the errant teen. But will they be able to rescue Reilly before the psychotic cult leader uses her for his bizarre ritual in which he hopes to conquer mankind? Will Abigail be able to resist the sexual magnetism of Vincent or will she find herself caught up in an attraction that could result in losing her heart and soul to a creature that is doomed to walk the earth for all of eternity?
