The Birth of Death (Evorath) by Joseph Macolino


The Birth of Death by Joseph Macolino
Artimus, the head investigator for the elvish kingdom of Erathal, is disturbed when he discovers that the culprit behind a recent string of kidnappings presents the greatest threat the world of Evorath has ever seen. As he develops feelings for Savannah, a beautiful elvish druid hiding a great secret, he struggles to separate his personal feelings from his responsibilities to the crown. Meanwhile, Irontail, a young centaur warrior, endeavors to find his way in a tribe where independent thought is discouraged.

When their paths cross, the entire forest must unite, performing an ancient ritual to combat this new evil. While the world of Evorath deals with this great threat, Artimus and his companions must put their internal conflicts to rest as they work together to combat this harbinger of death. As they work towards this common goal, they find that they each have their own, unique gifts to offer. But, will they be strong enough to survive?

The first of many stories taking place in the world of Evorath, this series gives readers the thrill of an epic fantasy while introducing characters who are struggling to balance the demands of society with their own personal desires. One thing is for sure: at the end of it all, nothing will be the same.

SG - Suicide Game, by Haidji


SG - Suicide Game is a metaphor about the society where persons almost kill themselves to achieve their goals and forget their dreams, but, in the book you will find also real love, friendship, loyalty, hope and an unexpected finale showing the good essence of the human seed.

Eight thousand candidates sign up for the Suicide Game. Only one can win. Their destination is the Night Stadium: a place of makeup and music, fear and adrenaline, blood and romance, celebration and death. Each candidate has his or her own reason for entering the Game.

The Council runs the Game. The outcome of the Game is left to fate...in the laps of the gods. The candidates will jump to their deaths in order to win everything, before capacity crowds in the Stadium. The public follows every jump, live on TV and mobile device screens, choosing their favorite candidates and betting on their lives. Who will win the game?

Candidate 0907 - Moma - the terrorist?
Candidate 1518 - Fabio Giovanni Cristiani - the cyclist?
Candidate 3507 - Anthony Henrik Gustav - the lawyer?
Candidate 4914 - Jens Plaato - the politician?
Candidate 4918 - Sarah Mondstein - the career woman?
Candidate 5151 - Bianca White - just a girl ?
Candidate 7195 - The Scientist?
…Or is it a completely different Candidate?

The Game’s community also includes geeks, mafia, makeup artists, master chefs, models, musicians, spies, terrorists, and many others. It boldly imagines a place where death and denial are interwoven with hope, choices and the innate desire for happiness. Impressive in the totality of its vision, it is an exploration of the best and worst things in our lives, our nightmares, and especially our dreams.

Dawn of the Destined Hero, by Marshall Walls


What does it mean to be a hero? Is it defending the innocent and battling the forces of evil? Or is it something more?

Arimax Holycross has dreamed of being a hero, just like his late father, his entire thirteen years of life. However, living in the peaceful village of Edena at the end of the tenth century, he has no chance to follow in his father's footsteps. Instead, he's sent off to the fields for a rite of passage: harvesting crops with the rest of the village farmers. On his trip, he takes a shortcut through the cursed woods, meeting with a mysterious hermit who introduces him to the power of magic through an enchanted ruby, which can control the element of fire. This encounter begins the boy's journey to uncover his ultimate destiny; a destiny that will reveal to him the triumphs and heartaches of being a true hero.

A Tragic Heart, by S. Elle Cameron


Taylor Caldwell is a sixteen-year-old who’s struggling with her own personal demons. Constantly feeling left out and struggling with depression and self-mutilation, Taylor frequently looks toward the worst in life, with the exception of her high school crush, Mason. When assigned to a project with Mason, Taylor is surprised when their relationship grows much bigger than expected, and the young couple ultimately decides to marry.

Disowned by her family yet saved from her old ways, Taylor soon enters the happiest time in her life…until it all begins to crumble. As her newfound life falls to pieces around her, Taylor must fight to find purpose or succumb to the darkness surrounding her because, as Mason states, "truth is; we are all tragedies waiting to happen; we just have to remember to have the rescue crew nearby when it strikes."

A heart-wrenching story about a young girl trying to find meaning in life, "A Tragic Heart" finds Taylor looking for reason while struggling to conquer her inner demons. Deftly juggling the troubles of love triangles and teenage life while delving into the weighty themes of suicide and self-mutilation, this novel brings a surprising depth to the genre while ensuring readers are captivated from the beginning. Flourishing into a more complete and introspective story, "A Tragic Heart" quickly proves to readers that it can be so much more than a stereotypical tale. An engaging story about freedom and tragedy, this superb novel will keep readers enthralled and guessing until the final page.

Inspired by the events in her own life, author S. Elle Cameron wrote "A Tragic Heart" in an attempt to give readers in similar situations a feeling that someone understands them. Written toward teenagers and young adults who are struggling with depression or who can relate to the feeling of being alone, the story offers an immersive and comforting look into the rigors of coming of age and the complicated feelings that can arise from it.

Kindle Spotlight: "Fated"

"Fated" (Perotti Legends Series)
By: Portia Perotti

FALL IN LOVE WITH "FATED" IN THE PEROTTI LEGENDS CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE SERIES!

Popular Young Adult and Contemporary Romance Author Portia Perotti, introduces you to Rhiannon Drake and Tanner Chadwyck in Book 2 of this fun and emotional contemporary romance Series. Tossing quarters in a well should not have the power to change a persons life, but on a stark, cold winter morning, for Rhiannon Drake, it did just that. Unfortunately, the change was not only unwelcome, but unasked for as well, going against every wish she'd made for the last eight years.

Tanner Chadwyck had come on business -- and ran headlong into a surprising pleasure on his first day in the city. Despite the morbidly uncomfortable cold, the daughter of his potential business partner had his blood (and passions) running hot. He wanted her, wanted to know more about her, but for some reason unknown to him, she hated him and the ground he walked on.

Coincidence brought them together, business forced them apart, but it was destiny which refused to withdraw from her role in the matter, for love and legend conspired and the two were fated to be together.

*****

Love Zombies of San Diego by E.Z. Graves is a young adult zombie story that's a bit different. Josh is a zombie but he knows he's different from the grunting, mindless dead things he sees wandering all over the streets of San Diego. Josh doesn't breathe or have a heart that beats, but he does think, and brains are not his food of choice. He walks the streets, killing zombies with his trusty sword called Rockstar. Josh's concern that he might be the only one of his kind is dispelled when he sees Tasha, who's obviously confused and talking to herself. Tasha's a bit doubtful of Josh's theory that they are both Love Zombies, born of zombies and capable of thought and speech. They team up with other teenage Love Zombies and hatch a plan to find the source of the 'Old School' Zombies and eradicate them.

********************

About Jason Ancona:
​Freakishly nerdy in high school, Jason became a certifiable weakling when he lost an arm-wrestling match to a female cheerleader in class. ​

Never a participant in school activities, he fantasized about being someone else--an athlete, a secret agent, or whatever character he created in the latest role-playing-game.

His imaginary worlds didn't help in the dating department, but they sure were fun to explore.

Born and raised in the Chicago burbs, Jason tended to his father's gigantic garden--​shoveling mulch and steamrolling the rototiller. In 1999, he fled the cold to live in Los Angeles, where he penned screenplays and TV scripts for nearly a decade. ​

In July of 2011, Jason moved to Austin, Texas knowing no one, ready to start his "Second Act Twist" in life.

When Katrina “Kat” Vallia, an idealistic if somewhat naive 20-something American pediatrician travels halfway across the globe to volunteer in a poor African village, she looks at it as a means of closure. Following a bitter breakup with her unfaithful boyfriend, she decides to throw herself into her work without any distractions from a man. That’s until she encounters Dr. Julian Kiron, a handsome, career driven pediatric oncologist. Even though she tries to fight it, Kat finds herself falling deeply for him; until she painfully realizes that they both want totally different things from life. Not willing to compromise for the other, they sadly say goodbye, cutting all ties.

Five years later, Kat’s happy world is turned upside down when she is given devastating news.  She must now confront her past and the secret she’s harbored for years. But will saving the one she loves most also rekindle the love she let slip away?

About the Author
Ever since I can remember, I have always enjoyed Creative Writing. There was always something about being able to travel to a different place or become a different person with just the stroke of a pen - or in today's world a touch of the keyboard. I have been writing poetry for years and finally got the inspiration to write my very first novel about a year and a half ago. Once I started the idea's kept flowing, my fingers kept typing - and here it is! It's a beautiful love story that focuses on so many different relationships: the love of a man and a woman, a parent and a child, friendships and those that are not bound to us by blood but by love. So, I'm hoping all of you get as much enjoyment reading this as I did writing it! 

Oh and here's a little bit about bit me - my life is not as interesting as the story or the characters in it, but then again whose life is? I was born and have lived in New Jersey my whole life. I'm a mom of twin teenage boys, a teenage step-son, a crazy Border Collie and a cat with an identity crisis! I guess you can say writing is my form of Calgon! I am married to a wonderful guy - but we'll keep that between us, I don't want him getting a big head! Thanks for taking the time to learn about my book and me! If you decide to read it (and I hope you do!) please be sure to go on and review it for me - yes, even if you don't like it!
