The Tower of Blue


Synopsis:
Welcome to my world.
Meet sixteen-year-old Jessie Connelly. She lived a normal life until she witnesses a horrifying attack on a student at her high school. No one but Jessie could explain what happened, but who would believe her when she tells them she didn’t see what attacked another student? Jessie’s parents believe it would be good for her to spend the summer with her Grams in Weston, Florida until the suspicions cool down.
Life seemed chill, at least for the first day or two, but it’s not until she meets Jacob, Gram’s best friend’s grandson, that Jessie’s world turns upside down.
After a planned camping trip goes wrong, Jessie’s faced with something she hadn’t anticipated- Life and Death. Jacob’s decision to save Jessie sealed their fate together forever.

Plump, lazy, and spoiled, Nigel enters an unwelcome new world, starve or work - go to an orphanage or become an apprentice on the mule train. Which is worse?

The Blurb goes like this:
After completing his college, Sahil, the son of chieftain Thakur Pratap Singh, returns home to his native village, Ratnagiri. But what promises to be an idyllic holiday rapidly devolves into a situation fraught with danger. Unknown to Sahil, a series of ghastly murders has targeted the village for years—corpses mutilated, organs missing, and the mastermind at large. Then, Sahil stumbles upon a truth that’s darker than he could have ever imagined.
The boundaries separating good and evil collapse as Sahil joins hands with the racketeers. Things go for a spin when Khan, a cop, indulges in a cat-and-mouse game to nab him.
The Curse To Ashwathama is a gripping crime thriller and a modern-day take on the tragic tale from the Mahabharata—a story of revenge and redemption, love and loss, myth and truth, you will be left wondering: Can Sahil change fate? Will he come out unscathed? Will the curse to Ashwathama strike?

Hazel's Shadow
Would you lock yourself in a haunted house to escape the clawing hands of the undead?
17 year-old Hazel Conners has to face both. Before the Lockdown, her life was simple: look out for her younger sister, make the wrestling team, hide her crush, keep her ability to see ghosts a secret, oh, and forget that her childhood was haunted by an evil shadow-figure. But now that the undead have forced her and her classmates into the very house where the shadow lurks, Hazel may be the only one who can save them all—if she can survive long enough to discover the shadow's more sinister purpose. The pressure is on, but Hazel can only juggle so many secrets in a haunted house surrounded by the dead.

Description:
Alaina Mathers - ordinary girl, not famous as some would believe. Oh yeah, she has depression, at least according to her mom, therapist, and the rest of the medical industry. Does anyone else know about this though? No. Not her best friend. Not her school. But maybe the boy who also frequents the counseling center, a boy with his own problems. When the counselor gives advice to reach out of her circle, her rather small circle, it starts a turn of events. It brings the two together in a way she didn't anticipate, a way that shocked herself. As they try to help each other through their situations, it opens a whole new group of people to Alaina's life in the form of volunteer work. But will that be enough to help her?

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0842F1GK7
Blurb
Roommates, love them, hate them, loathe them, but we can’t survive without them.
Now you think living with three other roommates would be difficult, especially when you’re the only female, living with three males. I am also the only one who also happens to buy all the food, uses the bathroom for those particular moments, or use the heating, or anything that is remotely normal.
Trying not to get eaten and is thrusted into an unfamiliar world, all Valeria has to keep sane is a laptop, a blogging site and the passion for the written word. All the while completing uni and working a part-time job, she writes her experiences living with vampires, and talking to her audience of the events when living with them. Valeria hopes she can survive living with three bloodthirsty vampires.

I've set up a website to promote the book, which I'll be keeping updated as I head towards launch day.

About the book:

She pushes off his charming and secretive personality, but finds that he wants her above anybody in this world. Even the thought of his first born child didn't cringe him for a split second and he falls in love with this beautiful irresistible lady.
Kristina doesn't want him because she loves Smith too much. She hesitates but she couldn't step aside from the affectionate and passionate physical affair that she and Smith never had.
Intimidating and arousing, the Gamed trilogy is a story of a common woman who wasn't common in infinite ways.
This book series is meant for adults.

I have two books. the first is... "Hillbilly Vampire... when friends play a joke."
Jasper is a young man out of school who works at his girlfriend's farm. His world seems to be perfect until one day when Penny (his girlfriend), asks him what is their plan for the next ten tears... believing there is more to life than just milking cows. Jasper doesn't see any need to change anything, which drives Penny up the wall even more. Francis and Morris are Jasper's best friends. The three boys would play pranks on the townsfolk together, but now that they're older... the fun of it seems to be gone. At a picnic, Francis and Morris toss around the idea of tricking Jasper into thinking he's a vampire... which they do! While he's sleeping on the couch, they turn loose a bat... and tase him on the neck. once they got the bat out, Jasper mentions that his neck hurts. After examination, the boys tell him it must have been a vampire bat! Jasper's world is rocked on end, as he breaks up with Penny and tries to stay out of the sun. The boys rig up a pontoon to take Aunt Chelsie fishing on her scooter, with a ramp onto the boat and ratchet straps to hold the chair in place. Having become a bystander in life... when Jasper sees Aunt Chelsie's dream come true, he realizes that helping other people with their heart's desires is what life is all about.
The second is "Orphan Traveler".
In my daughter's senior year...she asked my wife and I to write down our life's story. I said, “...you don't know what you're asking.” Year's later...I finished. I consider this a time capsule for the kid's kids. I finished an audiobook, so they'll hear my voice tell it. I may have to quit my job because I'll be so embarrassed. I wanted to jack the price up so my coworkers wouldn't buy it...but I won't This is not very well written, and it's boring...but it's my story up until I got married. I wrote it how I talk because I was talking to my daughter when I wrote it. If you can stand poorly written, boring books...then this is the one for you. At least a dictionary is well written. :)
My story kind of starts in Nebraska with my four brothers (two older and two younger). Our parents died, and over the course of events...we were split up. When they died...I really didn't have anywhere to call home, so I spent ten years traveling until I got married and had my own family. There was adventure and the freedom to go where I wanted or where the wind blew me.
To anyone who reads this...I hope good comes of it. My daughter liked it anyway.
As a new author... this is all scary. Your characters are like your babies... and you're worried to send them out in the world. Thank you all for your time and consideration, and I hope I didn't write too much in this post... and will get yelled at. sincerely written, robin t. neudeck

Eleanor’s Travels is the second book, in the Love and Friendship trilogy. Eleanor James embarks on a year long world trip, all in the hopes of being inspired, for her next big movie role. She has set her heart to see twenty-one countries, all at the tender age of twenty-one. What will she find? Adventure? Awe-inspiring places? Amazing people? Love?
In the first book, My Dear Ellie, the readers discovered that Eleanor (Ellie) had been keeping secrets from her best friend Cassandra (Cassie), her parents, and perhaps, even herself. The second book explores, what those secrets were.
The past must be revealed, before the readers discover, what lies ahead in Ellie’s fate.


The ultimate story of redemption...
Meet Emer. She's normal. That is, until a chance encounter turns her life upside-down. One minute she's hunting for a job; the next, she's catching bullets and being kidnapped.
Emer discovers that she is actually a reincarnated elf priestess and finds herself involved with Alex, a vampire, and Jesse, the son of the devil himself. Both claim to have loved her in centuries past; Jesse even goes so far as to insist that the salvation of his human soul rests in her hands.
As Emer struggles to harness her new powers, she finds herself torn: between her two handsome kidnappers, between a past she doesn’t remember and a future she’s just starting to figure out, between a man who’s depending on her and her own insecurities. When sinister forces come into play and her magic goes on the fritz, Emer must come to terms with who she is and decide what she wants before it’s too late…

Lets play a small game. Imagine you had this pencil through which whatever you draw comes to life.
But there are rules. The most important rule is; The more unrealistic the thing you are drawing is, the more realistic it should look. So if you are not a pro, don't think about a time machine or something of its sort. You have ten minutes. But there is some bad news, some people are coming to kill you for it so whatever you choose, choose wisely. You can play this game togather with Timothy Omosh which ends with the making of a superhero.

I'm posting it in YA fiction, but it is also intended for parents, teachers, and anyone with a vested interested in teenagers--especially those dealing with bullying and/or depression.
I also write a blog on my website http://brandonellrich.com

"He Came to Me" is an erotic story about an innocent girl who meets an attractive stranger that unleashes her hidden desires.
Through their intimate encounters, he introduces her into his world. They connect in a mad mix of sensual pleasure that none of them has ever felt before, but there is something that holds her back.
The story is a cocktail about romance and submissiveness with just a bit of spanking.
This is part two of the series.

He boards a tramp steamer where he meets Figo, a streetwise ship rat. Figo introduces him to the different exotic cultures, music, and cuisines of the ports they visit along the way.
Despite the odds, they form an unlikely friendship, but will it endure the journey? How will they survive the different perils lurking around every corner? Even if they do, what worse dangers await them in California?

Fifteen-year-old Kenda has always been sure of one thing - getting married young like the other girls in her village wasn't what she wanted to do with her life. Instead, she had dreams of wealth and independence, dreams that earned her the disdain of her family.
So when Kenda is tricked into an engagement, she does what any fiercely independent teenager would do. She stages her great escape to the city, but that's where things get way more complicated than she could imagine.
Kenda uncovers a decades-old curse that has been keeping her village hostage, and learns of her own paranormal powers in the process. In order to save her village and break the curse, she must master her powers. If she doesn't, humanity will cease to exist.
