Shaman
Two people are
brought together by a force they never saw coming . . .
Shaman
A Talisman Series Standalone
by Tam DeRudder Jackson
Genre: Paranormal Romance, Romantasy
A druid straddles the
line between light and darkness . . .
Renleigh Rogan keeps to herself in her remote Montana cabin, tending her plants
and honing her protection spells. Only occasionally does she indulge her
shape-shifting abilities… Called to Scotland in the middle of the night to help
heal a rogue warrior, her first instinct is to ignore the summons, but danger
lies in disobeying a powerful goddess.
A rogue is caught in a celestial
tug-o-war . . .
Jamie Lennox gave up the warrior community long ago, voluntarily fighting in
the Morrigan’s rogue army. Cocky, and one of the most accomplished swordsman in
the community, he’s the perfect weapon for taking the warriors the Morrigan
covets most. Yet when he loses a pivotal battle, she turns on him, leaving him
injured and lost in a no-man’s land between good and evil, a place no warrior
or rogue can exist for long. Luckily for him, a beautiful druid has come to his
rescue, even if she’s saving him against her will.
Two people are brought together by a
force they never saw coming . . .
The fact Jaime Lennox looks like a fallen angel has nothing to do with
Renleigh’s decision to come to his aid. His sexy come-ons do not intrigue her
either—not even a little bit. Nor does the mysterious past he hides. While the
two of them spar inside an enchanted cottage in the Highlands, overhead, a
celestial storm is brewing, one that will require each of them to decide what
truly matters—their beliefs about themselves and each other or the truth that
will set their love free.

“Jackson works this
admittedly familiar supernatural romance/urban fantasy terrain (readers of J.R.
Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood series, for instance, will feel right at home)
with winning energy, a good ear for dialogue, and a sharp sense of pacing.”
Kirkus Reviews for Rogue
Amazon * Apple * B&N * Kobo * Bookbub * Goodreads
Tam DeRudder Jackson’s love of all things Celtic led her to
write the Talisman Series. Steeped in Celtic mythology, these steamy, fated
mates, paranormal romance adventures are set in the mountains of Tam’s native
Montana and the Highlands of Scotland. Rogue, the most recent book in the
series, was named a best romance of 2022 by the Independent Book Review.
An avid fan of rock music, Tam never misses a chance to see
a live show, especially if it’s Shinedown, one of her favorite bands. Her love
of rock music inspired her contemporary rock star Balefire Series, a sexy fun
ride following the lives and loves of the members of a fictional mega-band.
Readers of this series consistently give the books five-star reviews.
Tam earned her BA in English from Montana State University
and her M.Ed. in literacy from Lesley University. After a short teaching stint
in Bath, England, she settled in the wilds of Wyoming where she taught
adolescents all about the Celts and a bit about writing before she stepped out
of the classroom to pursue her writing career full time.
When she’s not writing, you can find her working her way
through her mountainous TBR piles, alpine skiing, or traveling to some new
place on her ever-expanding bucket list. To stay up to date on her adventures,

(Faerie Legacy Series Book 2)
El día en que nació Maité, su hada madrina le otorgó un don de cuna. Arma y herramienta a la
vez, el don de sueños lúcidos le
permite a Maité viajar a otros mundos mientras duerme.
A los diecisiete años, el entorno cotidiano de Maité se desgarra con la trágica
pérdida de sus padres. Desterrada del único hogar que conoce y aislada en el
extranjero, la joven lucha por encontrarle sentido a su nueva vida. Ajena al
conflicto en la Soberanía de las
Hadas, que se cierne inexorable sobre su realidad, Maité descubre que ella,
una humana, está en el centro de la gran batalla por el control absoluto de la
soberanía.
A través de su don de cuna, Maité empieza a vislumbrar la magnitud de la influencia feérica en su vida.
Dispuesta a retomar las riendas de su destino a partir del transcendental
descubrimiento, Maité se apoya en Emily, su mejor amiga, y en David, un joven
cuyo interés por la genética ilumina posibilidades que cambiarán la identidad
de Maité para siempre.
**Also available in English! **
On the day she was born, Maité received a cradle gift
from the faery Nahia—a gift that allows her to travel into other worlds while
in a dream state.
At seventeen, Maité’s mortal world is torn apart with the tragic loss of her
parents. Uprooted from the only home she’s ever known and isolated in a foreign
country, the young woman struggles to make sense of her new life. But the
conflict in the realm of Faerie is about to bleed over into Maité’s reality.
She finds herself in the middle of an ancient struggle between Nahia and the
Beautiful One as they furiously clash for control over the realm.
Through her Cradle Gift, Maité uncovers the extent of the Faerie Realm’s
involvement in her life, and in her quest to come to terms with it, Maité has
the help of best friend Emily, and David; a young man whose interest in
genetics illuminates possibilities that will change her identity forever.
“The characters popped out of the pages. Engaging scenes that carried many
themes like loss, friendship, and courage. Cradle Gift sends readers, like

“Bossano’s writing is beautiful and rich with detail . . . A vivid and
intricate fantasy tale about the ties that bind and the conflicts between two

“A novel of truly epic scale . . . With its deep and detailed dive into the

fantasy novel that should not be missed.”

Patricia Bossano has done it again; this latest book in her amazing Faerie
series is absolutely brilliant and her best work yet, in my opinion. Nahia ties
all three books in the trilogy together nicely and once again puts the reader

believe!”

This post is part of a virtual book tour organized by Goddess Fish Promotions. Helene Matheson will be awarding a $10 Amazon/BN gift card to a randomly drawn winner. Click on the tour banner to see the other stops on the tour.
Society may be run by the men of the ton, but six scandalous sisters are determined to take it by storm one gentleman at a time.
Máira Blair married for love, her honeymoon trip with the Earl of Dorset is a dream come true—until reality turns it into a nightmare. Máira wakes up to discover her husband isn’t an earl, but the captain of a pirate ship and what was supposed to be her honeymoon, is a voyage bound for war-torn France. If that isn’t enough to disparage her husband’s character, he abandons her in the middle of a French port where she must find a way to survive as she defends her virtue and her life. Just when she’s convinced of what kind of rogue she married, the pirate transforms into a hero on a quest to save her and the missing Earl of Astley.
Sir Elias Drake married for convenience, he needed a Scottish bride to complete his mission. He can resist his desire for his beautiful wife, especially after she discovers his true identity. Except Máira Blair was more than he bargained for. He needs her skills, cherishes her compassion, and is tormented by her passion, which only makes him want her and the life their marriage represents more.
It will require both of their talents to rescue the Earl of Astley, and it will take more than a war to defeat their hard-won love—if they can escape.
Read an Excerpt
“Máira…” He took a step toward her, wanting to take her into his arms and erase the horrors she’d experienced in the hours since he saw her last. The way she quickly moved to keep distance between them, nearly gutted him and he stopped before he made her run out the door she’d just entered.
“You look as if you fought off the demons of hell and somehow won. Are you alright?” He asked.
The noise she made was decidedly unfeminine and nothing like the woman he knew. Somewhere between a snort and a growl, it was attached to a sneer that only hatred could form. “I’m breathing, if that’s what you’re asking.”
“Breathing?” Holy, bloody hell. What had he done? He was going to kill Peter and every one of his crew for not looking out for her. “I meant, do we need to fetch a surgeon?” He spoke softly, as if that would keep their conversation private in the middle of a tavern with every eye and ear observing them with avid curiosity. If he were lucky, only the barkeep and her henchman, and spoke English.
“Are you worried about my reputation? My virtue? My life? Or are you worried that I still stand on this green Earth?” Her hand rose to her chest in a display of mock distress. It succeeded in drawing every eye in the place to her damned feminine curves.
He glared at the men around him, some looked away sheepishly, others didn’t care. They would look their fill unless he challenged each and every one of them.

THE CHRONICLES OF ORDI
THE CHRONICLES OF ORDI
Alex Zenk
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Fantasy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
In a world where ancient magic is fading and darkness grows, one dwarf mage stands between his realm and destruction.
Ordi, a gifted mage with the rare ability to command all elemental magic, is summoned by his king on a perilous quest. Accompanied by his loyal posh hound Mira and his warrior brother Verdun, Ordi must recover the legendary Otthroite Gems—powerful artifacts thought lost to time.
As they journey through forbidden forests, abandoned dwarven cities, and haunted valleys, they discover these gems are the only hope against the rising threat of the long-banished Dark Lord. With each step, they uncover secrets of ancient magic and face betrayals that test the bonds of brotherhood.
Rich in world-building and filled with magical encounters, “The Chronicles of Ordi” blends classic fantasy elements with fresh perspectives on courage, loyalty, and the price of power.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT
The battle intensified. The witch’s minions—a mix of twisted abominations and resurrected corpses—swarmed the clearing. Galen led the paladins in a valiant charge, striking down skeletal warriors only for them to rise again. Ordi and the mages unleashed torrents of arcane energy, incinerating the dark creatures. Despite their best efforts, the witch’s power seemed endless. She began summoning more skeletons to add to the chaos of the battle. Mira charged in, pounding and ripping bones apart. The skeletons reformed effortlessly, keeping her busy.
The skeletons pressed in, their bony fingers scraping and clawing, as Ordi and Mira fought back to back, the sounds of battle filling the clearing. Ordi summoned bolts of arcane magic that pierced through the skeletal frames, incinerating them to ash, but it was a fleeting victory. The skeletons reformed with unnatural speed, their rattling bones an unsettling soundtrack to the ongoing fight. Read more – link in comments.

Times Change
Joe Mack Shadow Council Files Book 5
by Gail Z. & Larry N. Martin
Genre: Urban Fantasy, Roaring 20’s Monster Hunter
Joe Mack is back,
solving cold cases that eluded Eliot Ness and kicking demon butt.
Josef Magarac was a brave man, a strong man, a hard-working immigrant who only
wanted a better life for his family. Then he was murdered, and an ancient
Slavic god brought him back to life, gave him new abilities, and a mission to
protect those who can’t protect themselves. Now he’s Joe Mack, immortal thanks
to the Slavic god, and a champion against dark magic, demons, and things that
go bump in the night.
Joe’s previous collection of adventures spanned the Roaring Twenties and
Prohibition. Now he’s in the modern era, working with new partners and
adjusting to a whole new century. But old cases have resurfaced, and demons
never die. A supernatural serial killer has returned, and some of the evil Joe
thought was done and dusted has returned to wreak havoc. It will take all of
the supernatural abilities, wit, and will of Joe and his partners—past and
present—to stop the dark forces once and for all. If they fail, it will unleash
a wave of demonic vengeance, blood, and death unlike anything Cleveland has
ever seen.
Times Change is a non-stop thrill ride full of paranormal action,
found family, dark magic, and loyal friends.

Sometimes, one voice is all it takes to awaken hundreds.
A New Life
Reflections of Michael Book 4
by L.J. Ambrosio
Genre: Contemporary LGBTQ Fiction, Coming of Age
From America to the streets of Paris, A New Life follows two
friends as they navigate grief, love, and self-discovery in a city filled with
history and hope. A New Life is a story that lingers long after the last page.
What Readers are saying:
“A heartfelt continuation of The Reservoir Man
series, taking readers on an emotional journey through friendship, grief, and
self-discovery. Set against the evocative backdrop of Paris, this novel follows
the touching bond between Ron, a kind and grounded man, and Louie, a young gay
man struggling with his sense of self.
Ambrosio masterfully portrays the evolving relationship between the two,
echoing the mentor-mentee dynamic seen in earlier books. Louie’s vulnerability
and innocence shine through, while Ron’s compassion and strength help guide him
through confusion and loneliness. Their moments together are filled with
laughter, conflict, understanding, and ultimately growth.
The emotional depth of this story is its true strength. From joy to sorrow, the
book invites readers to feel alongside the characters. The final scene is
especially poignant—both heartbreaking and healing.” – Amazon Reviewer
“A New Life continues the journey of familiar characters
we’ve come to love, and yes, we still get that charming bookstore setting and
Paris, which basically makes this the cozy, wanderlust-y read of the season.
Ambrosio knows how to tell a story that pulls you right in and gives you all
the feels. Ron and Louie’s friendship gets deeper, there’s a solid dose of
personal growth, and just when you think things are on solid ground—bam, a
twist. Classic.
If you’re already a fan of the trilogy, definitely keep going with this one.
And if you’re new to it all, start from the beginning—you’ll thank me later.” –

The Heart Scarab
“…an exhilarating and original piece of
fantasy.”
Self-Publishing Review
The Heart Scarab
The Duchy Wars Book 2
by Stella Atrium
Genre: SciFi Dystopian Fantasy
Bybiis has
successfully thwarted her nemesis Ulaya and captured a clutch of serpent
pouches that carry a certain magic. Against her will, the pouches get
distributed among warriors of the Siibabean, so Bybiis goes her own way for
discovering more about her beastmaster powers.
Meanwhile, Stuben el Cylahi has taken a position as police
in the duchy capital of Urbyd where he butts heads with his boss Rufus el
Arrivi. Stuben realizes that he also must strike out on his own and joins a
group of Rundi who are on mission to recover some quarry slaves. His witness of
coming events makes him wish that he had remained nearby Rufus. Can Stuben
regain his tribal status?
Praise for The Heart Scarab:
For fans of speculative fiction who crave rich world building, complex
characters, and thought-provoking themes, The Heart Scarab is nothing short of
essential reading.
The BookViral Review
An elaborate and enthralling fantasy.
Reminiscent of Robin Hobb’s legendary fantasy series, the immersive vernacular
and eccentrically crafted language fully transports readers to. The alternating
narrative structure provides readers with a full picture of this meticulously
constructed realm, while the intermingling plotlines keep the elaborate prose
at a persistent pace. Striking a confident balance between political intrigue,
rich character study, and trenchant but epic dystopian themes, this second novel
of Atrium’s series shines as an exhilarating and original piece of fantasy.
Self-Publishing Review

The Matrix Opal
The Duchy Wars Book 1
From 5X award-winning writer.
Ariseng knew that she was expendable, but she would leave the stone forest and
embrace their mission only if the Matrix Opal was hers, for magic and
protection. She didn’t know that her true enemy lived among her new friends.
This standalone science fiction novel presents a fresh
protagonist and sidekick. Familiar characters from the previous 5-book series
also grow into adult roles, such as Bybiis the Beastmaster who struggles to
find her place among the tribes that populate Dolvia’s city-states. Kristos el
Arrivi meets Ariseng who is from a very different tribe and unwilling to
harness her skills for the resistance. Will the young leaders learn to work
together before their training is overwhelmed by a Ciska assassin group?
Praise for The Matrix Opal:
Stella Atrium’s writing is fluid and her superior
storytelling skills leave a spell on readers, forcing them to keep on turning
the pages. This deeply moving tale is filled with humanity and realism.
-Book Commentary
As always, Atrium builds worlds and cultures with
anthropological rigor… and tour-guides readers through those creations with
such exacting prose and immersive detail that the textures of life and conflict
come to feel real.
-Book Life
… a beautiful masterpiece of worldbuilding with richly
drawn characters, nuanced politics, conflicting cultures, and strange and
wonderful creatures… It would be a shame to miss out on any of it.
– Catherine Langrehr, Indie Reader
