Ben Langdon Potential indie BOTM: Superhero/urban fantasy.

The Miranda Contract by Ben Langdon

Setting: Melbourne, Australia
Premise: 17-yeard old Dan was a teenage supervillain for less than an hour, but now he has to deal with the label for the rest of his life. It doesn't help that his grandfather is the raving Mad Russian and expects Dan to follow in the family supervillain business.

The novel moves between Dan and a number of other characters including Miranda Brody, a visiting popstar who finds herself caught in the middle of Dan and his grandfather. Both Miranda and Dan have to come to terms with the labels society has thrust upon them, as well as struggling to become the people they really want to be.

Leah Sung describes it as: "A Wayward Percy Jackson cast adrift in the underworld of the X-Men."

message 105: by Janet (new)

Janet (janettait) I'd like to suggest my new release, a new adult urban fantasy called Cast into Darkness.

Here's a short description: The last thing Kate Hamilton wants is to be dragged into her spell-caster family's war against the rival Makris clan. But when an innocent favor pulls Kate into a perilous contest with ancient, deadly magic, she must either trust the enemy who betrayed her or lose herself to the power's dark embrace.

Thanks for letting me suggest a book.

- Likable strong yet insecure heroine
- Hot dirty sex and lots of it
- a hot pack of alpha males
- HEA

Read the blurb here - Bound By Her Scent

Rodney Carlson (rodneycarlson) | 4 comments I would Like to nominate my own book please

Misaligned
Aliens are among us.
Illuminati are involved with their plan.
There’s a government conspiracy to cover the truth.
This has been hidden from the civilizations of earth.

The truth is out.
Over five thousand one hundred years ago the earth received creatures from another planet. Today we hardly know they still exist. They are not hiding from us, they are hiding from each other. Two alien races are struggling for dominance in a huge galactic war and earth is caught in the middle. A computer engineer discovers plans to use humanity in the battle. Can he stop it? How can one human possibly fight against an advanced civilization? With some reckless luck the planetary alignment on December 21, 2012 won’t mark the end of mankind.

When his Brother's Soul is ripped out by the enemy, Taran must travel the paths of Time to locate the one man, an enemy officer, who can find and restore him.

Missy Fleming | 13 comments I'd like to recommend my book, Happily Never After Happily Never After by Missy Fleming


The good news is it is going to be free through the end of May in order to hype up book 2! It is young adult paranormal, a bit of fairy tale retelling and hauntings.

Here's the blurb:

There's no such thing as happy endings.

Savannah, Georgia is rumored to be the most haunted place in America. Quinn Roberts knows it is. She's felt the presence of spirits her entire life, investigating and photographing them with her best friend. Only none of those encounters ever turned violent, until now. The menacing darkness feeding off her stepmother has promised she won't live to see her eighteenth birthday.

After a chance meeting Quinn reluctantly allows actor Jason Preston into her life, which has complications of its own. She's not used to letting people get close. Falling for him while fighting for her life, and her family's legacy, only complicates things more. Jason shows her exactly what she stands to lose, especially when she's being attacked by the mysterious entity. Each attack is more violent and terrifying than the last.

With Jason's help, she dives into the Roberts' family history, searching for a link between a woman who went missing a hundred and fifty years ago and what's happening now. What they find is a brutal murder and that the ghost doesn't just want to hurt Quinn, it wants revenge.

It wants her life.

message 118: by Charles (new)

Charles Cornell (charlesacornell) My novel, DragonFly is a sci-fi / fantasy adventure set in an alternative WW2 with a strong female protagonist and as a bonus includes retrofuturistic illustrations of aircraft that never were but might have been.

DragonFly DragonFly (Missions of the DragonFly Squadron #1) by Charles A. Cornell

In 1942, an unlikely heroine changes the course of history.
A young woman with the fate of a nation in her hands.
An aircraft designed by science, fueled by magic and flown with passion.
A World War re-imagined like never before.
