Thanks Mark. Much appreciated. I hope you enjoy them.
Thanks, Mark, and I hope you'll tell us about your stay in the haunted manor. I've never encountered a ghost who takes dance lessons. I expect he's very light on his toes.

Ten For The Devil is a labyrinthine murder/revenge ride from an idyllic English Village to the industrious shipbuilding port of Saint John, NB (then St. John), in the newly formed country of Canada, over a span of fifty years.

Hello, everyone! Great to connect with you all.I have 11 published titles - 10 novels and 1 short story collection. All are within the suspense/thriller genre. I'm happy to provide ebook review copies of any of them. Rather than overwhelm (or, gasp, bore) everyone with details of each, I'll start with my recent release. This one is a little different for me, a supernatural suspense. Some are calling it dark fantasy, which works too. Details:
Eli’s dark legacy holds murder as his rite of passage. They say his ability is a gift. He calls it a curse. A life of violence and heartache leaves him with nothing left to fight for. Or so he thinks.
Amanda steals his heart, but love makes him vulnerable. He must give her up or accept who he is and fight.
Will he risk stepping into the darkness that could consume him?

I can provide the book in Mobi, ePub, or PDF. Let me know if you're interested.
Thanks for reading. :)
This is an interesting forum idea for Goodreads, TC. I'm looking forward to seeing how this develops.
I have a satiric trilogy on Amazon in soft cover.
I have both .mobi and .pdf files for the first book, The Telefax Box, if someone is interested in reviewing it.
Here's the summary I use on Amazon for The Telefax Box. Let me know if it stimulates your interest. Thanks.
Are machines taking over? When societies use machinery to eliminate work, does it free consumers to realize higher callings or merely make them dependent on machines and less able to care for themselves? If each new convenience means greater dependence, is the consumer a slave? "The tool is the slave of the being. The being is the slave of the machine." This is a Samerac saying. Sameracs are against machinery, a stance that makes them outcasts.
The Telefax Box is a social and political satire depicting this clash over technology. No element of modern life, from spy ware to gene pools, is immune from examination, especially as technological development blurs the line between people and machines. When a scientist, developing fully functional, reproducing machinery, is murdered at the most prestigious laboratory under the highest security, a shiver of fear runs through the galaxy. Satire combines with elements of science fiction and mystery to explore a modern Frankenstein.

Hello good people of Reviews! My name is Leo. I'm a Scottish process engineer living in Oslo :) I am eager to review books by other indie authors- just PM me and I'll add your book to my list!Also, I would like to submit my latest novel, "Saxual Healing", for review.
Use this link for PDF, MOBI or EPUB version, or if you prefer just PM me your email and the format you need :)
The narrative of Saxual Healing is constructed from a collection of diary entries and emails written by the protagonist, Billy Medicine. The story is a highly exaggerated account of something that happened to me at school: a boy in my class became slightly obsessed with me, found my saxophone teacher's instant messaging account and pretended he was me and that I was enamoured with the saxophone teacher.
The blurb is as follows:
"How does friendship become obsession?
Why need any romantic love be forbidden?
Does there exist a sound more seductive than the reedy bray of a saxophone solo?
All these questions and more are posed by the diaries, emails and notebook scraps of Billy Medicine, finally made available by an object of Billy's obsessions: Leo X. Robertson. The seedy, hysterical and unforgettable account presented herein tells of a lonely young man whose typical teen angst snowballed from mischievous trickery into the saxophone-related murders of two innocent men, and Billy's disappearance. And yet, Billy's efforts ultimately culminated in the production of the world's most beautiful and unknowable artistic expression of love.
The creation of this stranger-than-fiction narrative was as much Leo's personal journey to discover what it was about him that had so unbalanced a disturbed soul, how much of the fallout he was personally accountable for, and how it was that Billy's unwanted persecution led Leo straight into the arms of his soulmate.
Now, for the first time ever, read Billy's side of the story."

In a self-serving dystopian society, Mirena’s kind-hearted nature leaves her socially outcast. Daunted by the task of trying to initiate change herself, she tries desperately to conform to the expectations of the cruel society around her.
That is, until she meets Tendro… General to the Panarch’s armies and a rising star in government, no one expects Tendro Seynor to be the prophesied Avatar of the Light, but that’s exactly what he’s become. Alone, he doesn’t have the resolve necessary to follow the path destiny has set before him; but that all changes when meets Mirena and falls in love with her simple faith.
Brought together by fate, Mirena and Tendro must find a way to change their world for the better or risk the consequences of being on the wrong side of an all-powerful tyrant and his unforgiving Generals.

Firstly thank you for inviting me T. Not sure if I've got the gist of how this group works, guessing we have to review each other's books? I am a slow reader/writer due to frequent severe headaches therefore I'm very selective in what I read, it has to be something that really grabs me or it's not worth suffering headaches for. Here is the outline for one of mine, ANGEL BREATHS. I'm happy to say I found some lovely reviews for it on my goodreads page, which I didn't know were there! Angel Breaths
It was inspired by a news item on abortion laws that asked the question, at what point does a baby have a soul? It made me think and I wondered how that soul would feel if it were miscarried or aborted. I have a strong belief in the afterlife from experiences I've had myself and I also wanted a love story with a difference, this one spans two realms, the earth plane and the realm of the angels. Do you believe in angels?
Hi every one! I'm Sarah Greyson. I currently have two books out: Closer and Stronger. I would love some reviews.

Is it on amazon or is it in print only?
Hi Amber, thank you for your interest. Yes it's available digitally from Amazon as well as print. I don't know how to donate free copies other than a free promo, which I did a few months ago. You can borrow it if you know how that works.

Once I read it, it will probably be a couple weeks, I'm kinda booked up right now. I will post to my facebook, me and my brother's facebook author page, as well as goodreads, and amazon.

Thank you Amber. I'll also look yours up when I'm on the laptop.

T. wrote: "Ask for reviews and provide information about your book."Thanks T.C. for inviting me into the group. Hello everyone, my name is M.A.Appleby and I'm a little new to becoming published, although I have been writting various things all my life.
As my son recovers from a traumatic brain injury, (I could write a book about this subject alone) it allows us to regain ourselves, thus writting the stories in my head became my new passion.
One book (The Ancient Whisper) became two (Whispered Dreams), then it morphed into a trilogy (Journey of a Thousand Steps-out in 2016). It follows a fictious family as they go through a life-changing event. They are placed into the Federal Witness Protection Program, relocated to another state - where they discover dark secrets about trusted family members. Then slowly realize the FBI Special Agents who orchestrated the move are not so special anything.
I wanted to write a good, entertaining story but just didn't know how to start. After doing on-line research, (the internet allowed me to do this with the flick of the finger) and it made sense to write in first person. I wanted my books to convey suspense, intrigue, and mystery to keep the reader interested (much as I like to experience when reading). Thrown into the mix is my love of horses, a glimpse into the wacky world of harness racing, and high-stakes wagering.
The books are published by a hybrid publisher so they are not offered for 99 cents...but the first two are available as e-readers as well as paperback. I would love reviews. And as time permits, I will also provide reviews for others.
Please visit (blog.maappleby.com) that introduces our family's journey; and my personal website: www.maappleby.com

Hi All,I first published a week and a half ago, and I'm still anxiously awaiting my first review. My novel is a YA paranormal romance called Confessions of Innocence.
Blurb:
Innocence Cooper was born to rule. She will inherit leadership of the Council of good magic when her father dies or retires. Every witch in the world knows her name. None can ever know her secret.
Her active power - controlling fire - is granted by the evil spirits, not the good ones. A prophecy made decades before her birth declares she will rule over all evil magic.
For seventeen years, Innocence has done the best she can to ignore it. But then the new kid reveals he knows her secret, he shares her power and he came to recruit her.
Her secret is getting out.
Confessions of Innocence
