Can I add a supernatural thriller to the bookshelf?Night Sea Journey, A Tale of the Supernatural
http://www.amazon.com/Night-Journey-T...
There’s no such thing as a dream within a dream. Poe was wrong. Dreams are deep shadows between reality and illusion. In the haunted Abasteron House, artist Kip Livingston dreams of a mysterious winged being, all bone and muscle and greedy teeth plunged out. Until one night when her dreams break through the illusion and the nightmares become reality. These nightmares are so alive and so threatening, they drive her into the arms of a priest Raymond Kera. Ray knows that without the dark angels, there are no bright ones. Romance and supernatural events make this supernatural thriller a fast-paced read.

Young, adventurous and widowed in a new land, Cassandra Courtney Brooks finds her dream of raising a superior breed of saddle horse slipping away with the death of her husband. Left with four horses, living in a tavern attic, and her scant savings depleting, she resolves to see her vision through to fruition by accepting the scandalous position of steward at Varina Farms.
Born in the image of his native ancestry, Colton Rolfe’s savage blood runs through his veins. Scorned by his father, Colt grew into a man of ill temperament whose only interest is the wild equine beasts on his plantation. His desire to breed his horses with the superior Thoroughbreds of the newly widowed Cassandra Brooks leads him to abandon societal rules. Colt’s growing resentment toward the Crown and his assistance to Sons of Liberty missions is complicated by the discovery that Cassandra’s father is a titled English nobleman.
Cassandra is soon forced to question the wisdom of her decision when she finds herself enamored with her employer. As fiery passion grows between them, Cassandra realizes her own spirit of independence, love of the land, and the savage man who is so much a part of it.
As the threat of war comes ever closer, wills are tested through gunfire, treachery, danger, and kidnapping. Does Colt dare trust Casandra with Sons of Liberty secrets? More importantly, can he trust her with his heart? And will Colt ever trust Cassandra enough to love her as she longs to be loved?

Ashes
Anonymous. That was Jennifer’s life. But when she survived a domestic terrorist attack and her last-minute escape became the iconic image of the event, that life was over. Wanting only to disappear and become just another face in the crowd, she cashed in on her unwanted fame and moved to a small town, hidden away and safe.
Retired. That was Sean’s life. A former covert operative – the kind the government denies exists – he’d been pushed unwillingly into a life of suburban peace and quiet. But his retirement ended when he saw Jennifer’s rescue; from then on he only wanted to find those responsible for the attack, even if it meant turning rogue.
What Jennifer and Sean will both find is that nothing goes to plan, and their paths will cross in a way neither could have foreseen.
Ashes is the first in a two-book suspense series.

My debut werewolf thriller:
The Clearing
5.0 out of 5 stars A recommended experience of the 5 star variety! March 6, 2013
By O. G. Tomes
Kindle Edition: Instantly, I was captivated by the characters, then Thomas Rydder hit hard with twists, intrigue, suspense, love and blood. A straight to the point ride from every direction. His scenes play out before your eyes and as sharp as the fangs of the werewolves he creates in this ‘monstrous’ tale woven with his own unique take on this ancient lore. I would love to see this as a film and do the whole ‘drive-in nostalgia’ thing on a hot summer night with a full moon shining in a clear night sky, of course.
5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Debut Novel February 28, 2013
By Paula Acton
I was a little unsure reading this after recently reading Anne Rice’s The Wolf Gift however it actually proved to be the perfect book to compliment it, at opposite ends of the spectrum they both contemplate the nature of man and beast and whether good and evil are such easily defined concepts. The story twists and turns with engaging believable characters I highly recommend it.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, Fresh Take on werewolves!, March 15, 2013
By Jenna Roads
Wow, An action packed thriller in the werewolf world! This was a fresh take on werewolves. It was your typical small town where everyone knows everyone and their business. An ordinary innocent thing such as a pet adoption turns into an extraordinary thing. The characters were awesome. I especially liked Beth and Frank. The book kept me turning the pages. It had danger, suspense, intrigue and love. Yes, there was also love between Sheriff Frank Cutlip and a teacher named Beth Lowe.The story was captivating with a great plot. I loved it.
5.0 out of 5 stars New werewolf concept, March 9, 2013
By Cynthia J. Smith
Thomas has produced a werewolf story that is unique in this day and age. He uses some of the lesser known folklore to develop his creatures. The idea of a “King” werewolf protecting his pack is very interesting. Giving the king an enormous intellect is truly scary. The small town setting makes the story flow easily, everyone knows everyone else. It also makes the actions of the people believable. Loved the action, very fast-paced. Well thought out plans of attack. Look forward to the next installment! Nice Job!
4.0 out of 5 stars A great read, March 9, 2013
By H. Johnson
I received this ebook for free in exchange for reviewing it. The Clearing, by Thomas Rydder, was a wonderful book. It centers around Frank, the town sheriff, his brother Adam, Beth, and a handful of other town citizens. Everything starts happening soon after Beth brings home a new dog from the animal shelter for her adopted daughter, Lizzie. Soon, animals are found dead and Frank and Adam begin investigating. They soon realize that they are dealing with a pack of wolves. These wolves, though, are no ordinary wolves. As the investigation moves forward, they discover that they are dealing with a much bigger situation than they could ever have imagined. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was easy to read, and it kept me hooked. I liked the writing style, and the story flowed easily. The characters are great, and you get a chance to get to know them. It really helps to draw you in to the book. I had my ideas about how it may end, but they flip-flopped a few times. I almost wish it was longer because I liked it so much. I am glad I had a chance to read and review The Clearing. It truly was a great read.
5.0 out of 5 stars Bringing an old legend into the 21st century, March 7, 2013
By Abrach
I received a free copy as a member of the Beta team, in exchange for a fair and honest review. The Clearing sees a staple of Eastern European folklore transplanted into small-town America. A pack of ravenous werewolves is wreaking havoc across Western Pennsylvania; at its head `The Elder’, the thousand year old carrier of an ancient virus. Anyone bitten and infected by one of the pack is of course transformed into a werewolf. Carnage ensues as a motley group of lawmen, farmers and other local worthies try to destroy the werewolves without themselves becoming bitten and infected. It takes a skilled author to convince his readers to believe the unbelievable, and in The Clearing, Thomas Rydder does that from the outset. The setting is well described, the characters varied and believable, the ongoing love story between Sheriff Frank Cutlip and university teacher Beth Lowe a much needed counterpoint to the surrounding mayhem. Strangely, I found some of the most effective passages to be those written from the point of view of the werewolves. This adds hugely to the story, although what it says about Mr. Rydder I’m really not sure. If I ever get around to asking him I’ll make sure it’s not during a full moon. Certainly, the change of continent from Transylvania to Pennsylvania has helped bring the old legend into the 21st century. In fact this is a book that I could very easily envisage in film; although not 3-D. Please. I don’t think my nerves could handle that. All in all, `The Clearing’ is a memorable book from a talented author, of whom I think we’ll be hearing a lot more in the future.
5.0 out of 5 stars A fresh take on the Werewolf story, March 7, 2013
By Frank R. Errington
A relatively new voice in horror, Thomas Rydder delivers in a big way in The Clearing, his first full-length novel. Beth and her adopted daughter, Lizzie, live in the quiet community of Hemingway in Western Pennsylvania. And there’s the newest member of their little family, a shelter dog which Lizzie named Flapjack. Rydder does a great job of characterizing the close relationship between Lizzie and Flapjack. But then things begin to change as Flapjack starts hearing creatures within his brain, calling to him to join them, to leave the comforts of his life and to lead the brotherhood. I guess it’s no secret that The Clearing is a Werewolf story, especially since the writer actually wanted to call it “Werewolves and Flapjacks” which I kinda like as a title. Without giving too much away, The Clearing, is a very well-written horror story. One which takes ordinary people and places them in extraordinary situations. There is a body count that includes characters that you might not expect to be torn to shreds. And for romantics, there is a budding romance between Beth and Sheriff Frank Cutlip. When the Sheriff’s brother, Adam is bit and turns, the quest becomes a race to somehow save Adam and destroy the pack. That’s just an outline, there are so many twists and turns and discoveries along the way that it made The Clearing an excitingly original page-turning adventure I just didn’t want to put down. Even though the book is fine as a stand-alone novel, I understand a sequel is in the works and that’s one I’ll be on the lookout for.
4.0 out of 5 stars The Clearing, March 6, 2013
By Carol Carroll
Fantastic story! I don’t usually like werewolf stories, they seem totally impossible to me. But, Thomas actually made this one believable. Great characters, plots, and scenes. I enjoyed the entire read. Write on, Thomas!
4.0 out of 5 stars An intelligently written Scarey Book, March 3, 2013
By LINDA A. ROOT
I saw this on Goodreads today, downloaded it and read it in a sitting. It is not my usual kind of book. but the sample drew me in. I am not into horror stories, (I write historical fiction) and I have a thing about werewolves, but this one was so well crafted that I confess to having enjoyed it. From the first few pages, I was as caught up in the story as Frank and Beth were. I would have given it a five, but I have a ‘thing’ about books that leave the storline dangling. This book almost but not quite stands alone. As to this debut, I found no flaws. I will look for many other books from ThomasRydder in my Kindle Library. I especially thank the author for telling a gripping story without having to put Liz at risk. The story was tense enough without it.
5.0 out of 5 stars beautifully orchestrated combination of fantasy, suspense, and action., March 1, 2013
By Kirstin L. Pulioff
What a refreshing take on the werewolf story! This was a beautifully orchestrated combination of fantasy, suspense, and action. Thomas Rydder did a wonderful job of creating this suspense thriller. The characters were portrayed with great depth and feeling. You truly connected to them and routed with them through their challenges, hunts, and dilemma’s. I found it very refreshing the way the werewolves were portrayed and evolved… I thought the weaving of that fantasy into the thriller aspect very well done. There were enough ebbs and flows to the pace to keep the plot moving smooth, a lot of personal trauma and growth with all the characters, and a satisfying and positive resolution. A great read, and one that I would recommend to anyone. I received a free copy as part of the Beta effort, in exchange for a fair, honest review.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Read, March 1, 2013
By Diane
I was fortunate enough to Beta Read this book. It is an excellent read. If you like a fast paced adventure and werewolves then this one’s definitely a winner. Beth and Lizzie get a new dog named Flapjack, and so the adventure begins. Flapjack turns out to be no ordinary dog. After escaping and being bitten, Flapjack makes an amazing recovery. How could this happen? After some livestock problems in the area soon the Sheriff is involved. I don’t want to give too much away about this well written book. It certainly deserves a read.

Hi all, I'm a nearly published author on kindle store. Its call WEEKEND AWAY. It is romance fiction. Well as I put at the beginning of my book 'It is inspired by life, created in fiction.' It has a few things in the story based on events in my life. Which was fun to remember and write about.Well here is the description;
Holly is eighteen, and has spent the last two years studying to be an electrician. Holly has also been the only girl in the class, so now it's time to leave and face the real world of full time employment.
To celebrate her and her five male friends from college have decided to go to Blackpool for a 'Wild Weekend Away.' The only problem is she is in love with one of her best friends. Will she ever puck up the courage to tell him how she feels, or will she leave Blackpool never knowing what could have been?
It has some rather steamy parts to the story. So if that's not your cup of tea, then you probably won't enjoy it.
I'd love some feedback on how I have done with my first attempt.

THE BLAKE MISTAKE, the last in the Blake trilogy is out. THRILLER/ROMANCE.
The Blake Mistake
Each book in the Blake series can be read as a stand-alone but suggested order of reading; The Blake Soul The Blake Curse The Blake Mistake
Ben Blake; British intelligence agent, intellectual genius, striking appearance, impeccable acting skills and a heightened sixth sense, all concealed behind a solid impenetrable mask.
Jake Snell; the rugged eleventh Earl of Yorkley, the extremely bright cardiac surgeon, the loving husband, the devoted father, the enigma whose criminal past gives British intelligence another perspective from the other side of the fence.
The bombing; Ben foresees it, Jake thwarts it and destiny is rewritten, spewing forth a cataclysmic course of events. Snippets of Jake’s violent and forgotten childhood start to surface his conscious mind and his perfect life begins to break apart before his very own eyes. Women he comes in contact with are found dead bearing a particular signature linked with his childhood. He starts to doubt his hidden suppressed half. He has to unlock his memories and search deep within the bowels of his vast ancestral home if he is to ever save his wife and tame the brutal destiny he himself had unleashed.
The Blake Mistake is all about insecurities, unconditional love and that desperate run against the flowing sands of time.
Contains adult themes
My first book, The Remarkables is over on the Kindle store. (http://amzn.com/B00CB1OPI4)It's an action packed slice of contemporary fantasy wherein a teenage boy discovers he has an extraordinary gift. After his father is abducted, he joins an unlikely group of war veterans, each with unique abilities, who used to be part of the titular Remarkables band of superheroes.
It's aimed at a young adult audience, but there should be enough thrills and spills in there to keep all audiences happy (especially if you're a Led Zep fan).
Cheers

I'd like to add my thrilling YA adventure novel, ELDORADO.
Synopsis:
In post Peak-Oil Vancouver, bookish community college instructor Richard Hampton must make the transformation to street-smart warrior to survive when he jumps the Food Train to the disintegrating suburbs in a desperate search for younger brother Danny and his dog, Zonk.
Branded a criminal by a community of outcasts, imprisoned, and condemned to death, Richard is rescued by streetwise Carrie, who joins in his search.
They trek across the remnants of the sprawling suburbs, facing criminal gangs, renegade militias, and the hardships of the road. Gradually their friendship evolves into something more.
The trail finally unwinds at a deserted complex in the remotest corner of the suburbs. What they discover there will alter their lives and their world forever.
Good Deed.Good Deed is a fast paced crime novel that captures the reader from beginning to end.
Described by one reviewer as “Christopher Brookmyre on speed, with more thrills and less farce”, the gripping story of Good Deed rattles along relentlessly, leaving the reader breathless but enthralled. Good Deed introduces a new Scottish detective hero, DI Ronnie Buchanan, who is certain to quickly attract a legion of fans.
The events crammed into Good Deed take Buchanan from his base in Aberdeen on a frantic journey around all the major Scottish cities as his increasingly deadly pursuit of a mysterious criminal master mind known only as Vince comes to a breath-taking climax back in Aberdeen.
The pace of Good Deed is exceptional and unremitting. It is the kind of book that demands to be read in one sitting, but most readers will be so breathless as the saga unfolds without pause that they will need occasional rests before eagerly returning for more.
