Blurb:Every community has a house that people walk by hurriedly, nervously peeking at it out of the corners of their eyes. Bonny Doon is no exception. A bloody double homicide occurred in the Murder House almost twenty years ago and the killer has eluded capture ever since. Recently the house was inherited and the new owner wants to sell.
The problem is no one wants to buy a house with a reputation and reports that it’s home to ghosts. The seller thinks Realtor Regan McHenry would make a perfect listing agent ― after all, with her penchant for playing amateur sleuth, she’s no stranger to murder.
This is the perfect mystery to read if you don’t believe in ghosts — and an even better mystery to read if you do.
Read first first three chapters at http://www.amazon.com/Murder-House-Mc...
to see if you like it.

Seeds of Transition Book One:
The Genesis Project by Carolyn Holland and Kef Hollenbach
First, I’ve would like to add a personal view of the author, Carolyn Holland. I meet Carolyn on Goodreads where I was searching for authors from North Carolina, which is my home state. In corresponding with Carolyn, I’ve found her to be a delightful person with a caring heart for others. She has been very supportive to me as a new author. I appreciate her contribution to the world of writing and also applaud her for reaching out offering assistance to those that need her expertise.
“Seeds of Transition-Book One was an interesting read. It is not the typical reading I engage and therefore I wasn’t sure if this would be something I would actually be interested in reading, except for providing honest feedback on the author’s writing, from my viewpoint. The story encompassing the idea of how our Earth is changing and the supply of food is becoming scarcer; the weather changes add to the story line as lives are affected by the changing factors. I thought about how our community would deal with the variables presented in this book; if people would step up and become heroes in finding ways to solve the shortage of food and find relieve, extend a helping hand to others. The story is very much believable and makes one think deep into the meaning of the intent from the author’s viewpoint(s). Sometimes in trying times the unexpected people rise to take control and this made me “think” about my own attempts to rise up and assist, if my community was in a similar situation; how I would react, help or fold? I think the plot of the story enables the reader to continue reading to find out what happens next, very interesting and thought provoking indeed! As an educator and the push in our public educational systems; we’re taught to promote “global awareness” and this book brings to life the topic of global society in need and how people find answers to solve real life problems; problems that can enable others to work together for the benefit of everyone. There are characters that take the time to reach out when others walk ahead, ignore…and that brings me to this point ~ The book reflects the actions of the author as an individual. She reaches out to help others just like Jarood reached out to the elderly woman…Carolyn reaches out to help others too and this book is one I would recommend to others. I will surely purchase a copy for my shelf!

Book description: Babe Driven
Driving straight out of trouble and into paradise!
Harriet’s crazily successful business idea is under serious threat, and the danger seems to be coming from inside her own family. She whisks her sister and her friends away to an exotic location to try and work out whose side they are on. It’s time to start damage limitation.
When the girls arrive at the glorious villa owned by Harriet’s maverick business partner Nikki, they find a gorgeous band and their sexy lead singer Max staying next door, out to entice their new neighbours into all kinds of trouble.
This isn’t a holiday for Harriet and she can’t afford to be distracted. She has to sell her business idea to the powerful resort owner, the elusive Mr Grant, while she is there, or she may not have a business to go back to. Harriet will have to choose between family and friends, business or pleasure. For someone who stays out of the limelight, even though her new company is the hottest ticket in town, she’s going to have to avoid the front pages of every newspaper if she wants to survive the ride!

"Well of the Elements" is the first installment in the series. It is the foundation for what will turn into a dark, gloomy, race to save the world. The setting is low fantasy and the first book revolves around four adventurers: an eccentric old wizard and his cohort, a battle-weary swordsman with a troubling past; a mercenary whose body, mind, and spirit have been forged into a perfectly balanced weapon; and a hopefully young woman who, being the last of her bloodline, is cracking under the pressure to find purpose.
If anyone is interested, send me a message and an E-mail, and I'll send a pdf. If you could post the review on Amazon, that would be a huge help. Thanks

I'm looking for reviews of my debut novel, "Shutter Speed", that came out a couple of weeks ago.
"Jimmy Tasker is an ordinary child. He loves to take pictures: has an eye for it. When some common bullies take things too far, Jimmy ends up burned… and different. It starts when his father is killed in a mysterious house fire. Him and his mother move away… change names… disappear.
Some years later a group of friends are finding it tough. They are unemployed, short of cash, and one of them comes up with a great idea. A robbery. But they are a rag-tag bunch, and Steve declines, leaving the other three, a misogynist, an addict, and poor, easily led Peter, to pull off the ‘robbery of the century’.
But Jimmy is still in there, somewhere…
… and he’s killing for fun."

My novel is available for free in exchange for honest reviews here on Goodreads and/or on Amazon where it is available in the Kindle Store.
The story has been described to me as genre bending for several reasons:
1. It takes place in the future but isn't necessarily dystopian (i.e. Hunger Games.)
2. The main character struggles with mental health and medications but it isn't a "druggie" story or a horror story.
3. There are distinct moral elements but the questions aren't easy, not black and white.
I will say the story takes place against a sci-fi backdrop. The main character, Carter Braxton, is on the fast track in a future society that relies heavily on a particular technology. This is the area of Carter's expertise and what should set him and his family up for life, if he plays his cards right.
Carter's problems stem from a violent past and treatments, including a powerful drug, that help him to stay on an even keel and pursue his upward mobility. However; the medications and bad memories may be the least of his problems as he struggles with odd family dynamics involving his wealthy in-laws and old and new friends that draw him into corporate and political intrigue.
We're never entirely certain what Carter will do or if, in his drug addled state, he's lucid enough to see the paths, much less choose the right one.
Free copies in PDF format for your honest review.

Experimental Heart: Pieces is the first book in the Experimental Heart Series that falls under an Urban Science Fantasy genre. This book is of epic length (about 790 pages in length) and not for the fright of heart. The book(s) set in a near future world still trying to hold onto old customs and beliefs in gods while on the brink of war. It's set in the point of view of a human war experiment fugitive named Eira who, after facing death, is saved by an unlikely rescuer, a dragon shapeshifter. The two team up, along with her fellow comrades, to fight against the tyrannical rule that created her and is the major threat in the impending war.
If you're interested, I'm offering .epub and mobi files (sorry no hard copies since those are still in the works). You can contact me privately via goodreads (contacting me on forums can be lost in my notifications some times if I get a lot at one time so I don't want to lose any requests). When messaging me I'd just like to know how long you think it'll take for you to finish. Not because I was to be nosey or pushy, but just for curiosity sake since it is such a long book. I'm curious how long it takes certain types of readers to get through it.

YIKES! CHANGE CAN BE SCARY!
From Go Forward Fearlessly
At the age of 50, I was deeply depressed and no longer able to work full-time due to health problems. I was working in a stressful job. My father had recently died. I had just sold my home and moved to a new one. In addition, I was navigating sometimes turbulent waters as a single parent of teenagers. A few short years later, I am completely healthy, happily self-employed, and enjoying my life. How did I get here? By using the tools in this book!

Hello everyone! My name is Brit Malorie and my first novel is titled Vita Maglia. It's a blend of science, spirituality and adventure.
Synopsis:
Zander Grace never believed in his father's insane scientific experiments, but then he discovers the truth: a new dimension that lies beneath our five senses, the source of our deepest emotions and closest relationships. A place of incredible danger, where millions of lives are caught in an eternal war we can't see.
But another man searches for the discovery. Lynch Katlan is a psychopath beyond mercy or compassion. Tearing through blood and bone, he won't stop until he finds the route to a vulnerable new world.
Similar to The Passage, this book combines rich spirituality with the thrill of an adventure story. From the first page, the reader is nearly devoured by an island paradise that's not what it seems, then pulled even further into a scientific discovery that questions the very nature of the human soul.
If you are interested, I'd love some reviews on both Goodreads and Amazon. You can reach me at britmalorie@gmail.com or just send me a message here on goodreads for a copy. What a wonderful opportunity to gain readers and insightful reviews.
If anyone would like to trade reviews, I'm available for that as well.
