Linden
In high school, Linden was the unpopular nerd who was never invited to any of the cool parties. She had a few friends and they were ridiculed for being too smart and for not bending the rules and learning to live. She never smoked pot, got high, drank alcohol, or had sex.
Addison was the popular kid who never had to try hard to get girls to like him. Fate lands them at the same college. He often finds himself staring at her during class. When she notices and meets his gaze, he averts his eyes—embarrassed that he was staring to begin with. And he ignores the flirty stares he gets from other girls. The only girl whose attention he wants is hers—and she won’t give him the time of day.

My fifth historical fiction novel Gwenna is available on preorder until release date 24 July.
Please add her to your Want to Read list
Against all odds, the plucky sweet maker refuses to relinquish her dreams.
Amid the bustling vibrancy of Auckland’s Karangahape Road, Gwenna Price’s passion is making sweets. Her pa had great plans for the family confectionery business when they emigrated from the valleys of Wales looking for a new life, but he died all too soon. Gwenna promised she would bring his dreams to life instead - and she would, if it wasn’t for her domineering stepbrother, Elias. With him in charge, it would be a matter of time before the business collapsed.
Falling in love with the cheeky and charming Johnno opens up other opportunities, but every step of the way Gwenna is thwarted. If not by Elias, then by Johnno’s father and the restraints of a society with strict Victorian values, but Gwenna is irrepressible. Nothing will stand in her way.
Throughout the twists and turns of love and tragedy, Gwenna is a young woman with uncommon courage, determination and ambition in an era when women were expected to stay at home. There are people who love her and those who are willing to help her achieve her goal but, blind to anything that distracts her from creating her legacy, Gwenna risks losing the one thing that matters to her the most.
Inspired by a true story, Gwenna is a fascinating insight into life in Auckland at the turn of the 20th century. Winner of a gold Quality Mark from BGS.
From the author of ‘The Cornish Knot’ and ‘The Girl from County Clare’ – a B.R.A.G medallion recipient - whose writing has been compared to that of Catherine Cookson.

Also
https://www.inkitt.com/stories/horror... if you don't mind Satanists, coercion, rape, murder, and the gestation, birth and maturation of a demon child in less than 24 hours, this should sufficiently chill your bones. Please leave a review if you read.

Anyway, some of you may remember our story “A Genesis” which was first published back in February of 2017. The reprint has been doctored a little, but is much the same.
This story takes less than three minutes to read!
This story may offend those who hold strict religious beliefs. What can I say? If I was afraid of offending others I wouldn’t be a writer –- I wouldn’t be me.

Arson to sanitize the murder of partners in a realty firm?
The only thing connecting the victims is the business, Blue Creek Realty. Rookie deputy Kit Kittredge notices something odd at the decommissioned lead smelter when she responds to a lost child report out near Devil's Run. There is something odd about the Devil's Run Plant, extremely odd. And Blue Creek Realty owns the property.
But people aren't killed over real estate--at least not in rural Hawthorn County.
As Richard, Guidry, Kit, and the boss interview the partners' widows, the killer makes it clear that he still has business to take care of. Now all their potential suspects are also potential targets
The murder book gets thicker, yet the team finds no convincing motive--until they uncover something too big for a rural sheriff's department to handle.

Detective Quin Butler is the new guy in the Homicide Division of Foley's 8th District. He isn't in town long when he and his partner, Senior Detective John Filcher, draw their first case together.
A man is found bludgeoned to death and his motel room ransacked. Nothing at the scene suggests what the killer was after. To add to the mystery, his body is riddled with odd-shaped markings. As they work the investigation, new evidence in a cold case comes to light and makes life even more hectic for the pair.
Trouble also abounds for Quin in his personal life when he meets a beautiful woman, who happens to be an old friend (old flame?) of John's. Why is John so protective of her? What circumstances caused her to leave Foley in the first place?
When the answers come, will Quin second guess his decision to pursue her against John's wishes?
Check it out and let me know what you think. BTW, Written in Blood, book one, is also still available
Nathan

When Kyle French's father and clairvoyant mother die in a car crash that he alone survives, the question haunts him. Through his grief and survivor's guilt, Kyle looks for answers and tries to heal with his remaining family.

If you like strong characters, a distinctly Irish setting and a hint of the supernatural, buy THE TRUTH ABOUT TOMORROW and follow Kyle on his quest to find answers and happiness.

Hi Goodreads Authors/Readers discussion/Romance > Authors List Your New Releases Here:
I am new to this group, and wanted to share the release of my debut novel, Last Exit to Montauk, released on May 2, 2017. Below is some insight into my novel along with links.
According to my readers, Last Exit to Montauk had them laughing and crying in the beat of just a few pages. It’s a coming-of-age romantic tale of young love, based in the 1980's and summertime on Long Island.
Though the main characters are in their late teens, this is not classified as a new-adult novel, though it certainly could appeal to readers in that category.
Instead, I see it as a love story for any age. And my readership thus far attests to that, talking about memories of first love, or Long Island, or summertime anywhere, or the icons of the 1980's—or all of the above.
It’s also received endorsements from some heavy-hitters in the book industry as well. (see Goodreads reviews)
The novel is available in digital format and paperback. Also, I am willing to participate in an author interview. Below are links to various sites, including to an upcoming event we're hosting on our Facebook page. It's an online reader's circle, July 15, 2017, from 6 to 8 PM ET.

Synopsis of “Dogmas, Gods and Simulcrons”
The first section is the story of Darg and Lishl. It deals with their early life together on a mediation station where the Progeny from Symmetry and the Chan controlled by man-hating priests have been trying for decades to iron out a peace treaty. Darg, a son of the Progeny negotiator, is allowed on the station because he is a child. Lishl, also a child, is a daughter of the Chan negotiator. However, it is really the story of how the two children fell into an enduring love. It ends with the part their love affair played in starting the war and the impact of the dogma of the Chan women on the inevitability of the war. We learn for the first time how the innocent and well-meaning choices by two women changed the future of the galaxy.
In the second section Magda le Ter returns to the mainland of Europe after the war to find the tribe of her daughter Krissy. To find Krissy and to help her tribe survive, she must dodge radiation that is strong enough to overpower even her redaction and lead them south away from the ice approaching rapidly from the north. From the pages we can see how the classical Greek myths arose, helped by the fictionalization of real events by her descendant Metira. This is also the story of three female descendants of Magda who show incredible abilities. Lokoshim is a genius by any standard and makes spectacular leaps of intellect that defy the environment in which she was raised. Metira is an unparalleled storyteller frequently unconcerned with the truth. Artemy is the wild card with unprecedented abilities including redactive powers untouched by even Magda. During all of this Magda is driven by a need to in some way find a route back to Great Island.
In the third section Maglie tells of the trip back to Origin to find the Box and to find a home for thirty thousand displaced Progeny. They place the Progeny off the coast of Asia. However, a great discovery awaits them at the South Pole. There they find a dome that is completely impenetrable. The walls are not completely opaque and they can see there are people inside moving extremely slowly. On one side of the buildings are columns of writing that they try to translate. They discover that the dome still houses two of the world builders of Lemura, those who create computer worlds that appear to be as real as our own. At the same time they discover the fate of Atlantis. In addition the reader not only finds out the truth behind Lemma, but Jeevra finds out who her childhood benefactor was.

Blazing Ahead: Benton MacKaye, Myron Avery and the Rivalry that Built the Appalachian Trail.
The Appalachian Trail is one of America's most revered resources, a project of near-mythic proportions combining rugged natural beauty and human determination. But few know the story behind the creation of the world's longest hiking-only trail. The proposal could have died in the pages of a journal had it not been for the efforts of many people―including two, in particular: Benton MacKaye and Myron Avery. While the two men shared a common goal, their vastly different personalities meant it was only a matter of time before these sometimes allies, sometimes adversaries had a falling out.
My book tells this story in active, engaging scenes that weave history together and biography, detailing the external forces the trail builders faced: the stock market crash, World War II, and the prevailing opinions regarding wilderness and recreation. Drawing upon never before published sources from the State of Maine Archives, Blazing Ahead delves deep into the historical realities MacKaye and Avery faced. Through extensive research and vivid storytelling, this book tells the true but little-known story of a shared vision, the rivalry it bred, and the legacy of the men behind one of the nation's greatest treasures.

It's available for pre order now, and goes live 27th Aug.

My mother-in-law's a zombie. And she has anger-management issues.
My mother-in-law, Diane Newby, zombified by accident. She still volunteers at her church bake sales and cooks pot roast for her daughter and son-in-law, Ron Yardley. What ticks her off is when people don't treat her like a normal human being-with glowing red eyes and super strength and speed. And if she doesn't get her own way, look out. She explodes and leaves broken plaster and body parts in her wake. Nothing stops her: not brick walls, the federal government, or middle-aged spread.
But the world's most powerful criminal plans to control zombies. His only problem with zombies is that they have way too much free will. He has a solution for that. But will it work with Diane Newby?
The world divides into pro-zombie and anti-zombie factions. Battles break out everywhere. Which side will you take? Who will live and who will die?
You might not survive this book. But at least you'll die laughing.
