Hi all, these are my books. I also offer Aunt's Story on Kindle through Amazon Cherished Preserver
Aunt's Story
I have my first book for free here from July 3rd - July 7th 2012:http://tinyurl.com/87qqmbq
It is called Zombie Nostalgia and it is a little bit of several genres. It is also enrolled in KDP select. I would appreciate any feedback on this book, good or bad, because it is my little baby and all. I haven't been marketing it as well as I should. It was like I gave birth and then left the child at the firehouse. :)
My book is Murder in Trabuco Canyon. It is on sale until July 8 for only 99 cents. www.murderintrabucocanyon.com. It is available on Amazon and currently has three reviews (4.7 rating). Hope you like it.A. N. Patel
A prolific serial killer, nicknamed the Rose Collector, who terrorized all of Orange County with his signature killings, has now pleaded guilty. The brutal murders have stopped. The terror is over.
But not for Alec Stone, who is unwittingly thrown into the mystery surrounding the death of his step-sister, Eileen Robertson, an alleged victim of the Rose Collector. And as he uncovers one mystifying clue after another, he becomes convinced that the facts are not what they seem to be. With no help from the criminal authorities, and armed with just his relentless pursuit for the truth, he launches his own investigation only to discover that a dangerous mastermind is still at play, still lurking around to plot the ultimate finale. As Alec marches ahead, he is whirled into a series of chilling events. Gruesome murders, night-stalkers, FBI undercover operations, corporate fraud...
Events that eventually threaten his own life.
TheKeyAuthor A true story, one the Establishment have tried hard to suppress.
The Key? is the literary equivalent of digesting the red pill: some will embrace the brutal truth, others will recoil in fervent denial.
It's pending verification for a giveaway. I've added a downloadable five-page excerpt.
Neat idea. Mine is The Not Exactly Scarlet Pimpernel, by C. P. Lesley, available as of June 2012 from Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, and the iTunes Store. Historical fiction with a contemporary twist and a strong romance component.Ninel Pennington, better known as Nina, has one goal in mind: to finish her Ph.D. dissertation on the French Revolution. But the professor she has chosen to supervise her work has too many students already. To win his acceptance, she must excel in a virtual-reality computer game based on her favorite novel, The Scarlet Pimpernel. When she lands the coveted role of Marguerite, the novel's heroine, Nina is overjoyed. Sure, Marguerite's a beautiful birdbrain, but Nina can ace this assignment in her sleep! Or so she thinks until she realizes that she's committed herself to spend two weeks as the estranged wife of her least-favorite fellow grad student, cast as the Scarlet Pimpernel himself.
The game also pits Nina against Marguerite, a coquettish socialite who wants only to get this meddlesome stranger out of her head. As the Pimpernel's adversary closes in, and Nina figures out that only an alliance with Marguerite's husband will ensure her survival, she becomes ever more desperate to fix Marguerite's life.
But Marguerite, it turns out, also has a few pointers for Nina. And before Nina fully grasps just how much trouble she's in, the Scarlet Pimpernel proves to be a good deal less estranged than she'd ever thought possible.
Thank you for the help!
This book is available on Smashwords.com, B&N, Kobo, Apple, Sony, Diesel, Baker & Taylor

Hi,My name is Mark Holtzen. The Pig War, Kindle version, will be available for free download on Amazon on July 14th and 15th (this Saturday and Sunday). When his parents send him to remote Mobray Island for a summer with his curmudgeonly grandfather, bookish Kell thinks his time is going to be a boring bust. But he and his boisterous sister Grace are quickly drawn into events from the island’s past—The Pig War of 1859. What was The Pig War? Did pigs actually fight? What if Kell and Grace are caught with the buried revolver they've uncovered? And why does their grandfather go fishing without his fishing gear? By summer’s end Kell learns that Mobray Island holds more adventure than he bargained for: shady ancestors, shadier neighbors, and even some discoveries about himself. www.markholtzen.com

My new crime thriller, Copacabana, is now available in Kindle format from Amazon UK: http://amzn.to/MMuSOq and Amazon US: http://amzn.to/Lyx8bM
It's a dark, brooding tale, described by a Top 500 reviewer as 'appealing to readers who like their crime and morality a little on the unconventional side'.
Here is a brief synopsis of the book:
Having retired from the crime world, Pete Murphy relocates from Liverpool to Rio de Janeiro. Here he throws himself into the wild and sordid nightlife of Copacabana in an effort to forget that brutal murder which forced him into exile.
This self-destructive routine is interrupted by the arrival of John Mullan, a young petty thief who has long idolized Pete, and is now on the run from associates back home. A situation further complicated by the £2000,000 of stolen money which John has brought with him.
As the repercussions of this theft become ever more clear, the scene is set for an explosive showdown.
Pete Murphy is about to meet the ghosts of his past head-on.
In Copacabana…

Hey all, loving looking through all of these, L.H. I'm really interested in your "Abigail Deane" story (being from Chicago myself, and interested in all things fantasy, particularly if it's YA... but I don't read things on screen... do you have a print version available on amazon or anywhere?)Would love to add my YA Fantasy novel to this group/shelf:
When the realm of Aom-igh is threatened by the darkness of an ancient enemy that was thought to be only legend, the peaceful nation of Aom-igh stands little chance against the impending storm. A king, whose reluctant rise to power has lead to years of peace and prosperity, is given no choice but to seek desperate measures to defend his people. He calls upon his feisty daughter to venture out into the kingdom to seek the aid of a lost warrior; one who had defended Aom-igh in the past. The princess, who relishes the thought of the adventure, is in for more than she could have imagined as she embarks on the quest with her maid and a young squire. Along the path of their voyage they meet strangers with mysterious secrets, enemies whose wickedness would weaken the knees of the stoutest soldiers and creatures of lore long thought not to exist. However, the marvel of the adventure only just begins when they meet the man they have been sent to find, a man with a past as mysterious and a future as clouded as any they have ever known in life or legend. The hope of their world rests on the steel he wears at his side…

Editorial Reviews
Review
"Planet Janitor does deliver an interstellar romp that hearkens to the best of Robert Heinlein or Philip José Farmer... A rollicking plot-driven adventure... The dangers are intimidating, the wonders evocative and the thread that ties it all together is always just a little more tangled than it seems." --The Canadian Science Fiction Review, December 13, 2010
"An intriguing and exciting cross between Aliens and 10,000 Years B.C. - Stevenson shows us a future filled with proof that we should listen to Stephen Hawking's warnings about alien life forms and what they want to do to us." --Gini Koch, author of `Touched by an Alien' & `Alien Tango', December 1, 2010
"Stevenson's book considers the possibility of an elite industry of environmental cleanup specialists who take on all sorts of bizarre environmental jobs... Clearly, this is a timely topic that hits home in the wake of the Gulf oil spill." --SF-Fandom, September 21, 2010

In a remote compound in Wyoming a geneticist created the first female human-wolf hybrid and adopted her as his daughter. When Melina Salinger discovers who and what she really is she escapes her father's domain and sets out into the wilderness—any other life would be better than the one that was forced upon her.
Seth Anson, a ranger stationed at the Wheeler Ridge watchtower, is trying to get over a bitter divorce—working in the majestic Shoshone forest is the only way he knows how to get on with his life. Consequently, he is unprepared for the strange and mysterious woman he accidentally shoots and then must nurse back to health. As Seth and Melina form a close bond that leads to something deeper—they have no idea that the geneticist’s other creation—the result of a DNA cloning experiment gone horribly wrong—is bent on finding Melina and committing a monstrous act.
