A battered journal left by the lone survivor of a plane crash provides a tantalising clue to an ancient mystery…
After years of leading overland expeditions all over the world, Ben Drummond is trying to settle down in England and forget the woman who broke his heart.
But he is summoned to Oxford by maverick archaeologist Dr Sarah Pagan, who believes she has discovered the whereabouts of a lost statue. Pagan believes the statue - of an ancient sphinx - could be even older than the Pyramids.
Proving its existence would turn conventional history on its head –allowing Pagan to vindicate herself and reclaim her lost reputation. Pagan wants Ben to lead an expedition that will take her team deep into the desolate landscape of the Western Sahara.
Their first hurdle is to find the unmarked wreck of the crashed plane – but Ben soon realises they are not the only ones on the trail. A gang of art thieves have got wind of Pagan’s quest and are trying to follow the team so that they can loot the site for themselves.
After The Ending, an adult post-apocalyptic romance is FREE in the kindle store from 3/15 (today) to 3/17 (Sunday).

Description:
The Virus spread. Billions died. The Ending began. We may have survived the apocalypse, but the Virus changed us.
When people started getting sick, “they” thought it was just the flu. My roommate, my boyfriend, my family…they’re all gone now. I got sick too. I should have died with them—with the rest of the world—but I didn’t. I thought witnessing the human population almost disappear off the face of the earth was the craziest thing I’d ever experience. I was so wrong. My name is Dani O’Connor, I’m twenty-six-years-old, and I survived The Ending.
The Virus changed everything. The world I knew is gone, and life is backwards. We’ve all had to start over. I’ve been stripped of my home, my dreams…all that is me. I’m someone else now—broken and changed. Other survivors’ memories and emotions haunt me. They invade my mind until I can no longer separate them from my own. I won’t let them consume me. I can’t. My name is Zoe Cartwright, I’m twenty-six-years-old, and I survived The Ending.
We’ve been inseparable for most of our lives, and now our friendship is all we have left. The aftermath of the Virus has stranded us on opposite sides of the United States. Trusting strangers, making sacrifices, killing—we’ll do anything to reach one another. Fear and pain may be unavoidable, but we’re strong…we’re survivors. But to continue surviving in this unfamiliar world plagued by Crazies and strange new abilities, we have to adapt. We have to evolve.
And more than anything, we have to find each other.

THE OBSESSION (The Truth Beauty Trilogy, Book 1)Free on Amazon: 3/17--21/2013
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008H31AB0
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B008H31AB0
“…both [The Obsession and Gone Girl] are pacy, gripping narratives about love grown monstrous and out of control”--Victoria Best, Tales from the Reading Room
“…not for the literary faint of heart…this is a powerful engaging story…”--Charlene Mabie-Gamble, Literary R&R
"…very exciting. I was hooked by the time I finished the first chapter. It is very well written, fast moving and suspenseful.”--Barbara Juhl, Library Thing
The Obsession, the first entry in the Truth Beauty Trilogy, is a vibrant novel of suspense and murder, by turns intriguing and surprising, as three smart, driven people match wits with their lives at stake. When Stan, an American grad student falls for Lina, a lovely Italian scholar, his unrequited passion turns perverse. When he follows her from a mid-west college town to Bologna’s ancient streets, they are joined by John, Lina’s American lover and Stan’s mentor. Their love-lust triangle re-ignites, and they flee and chase down the storied Italian boot to a shocking conclusion on volcanic Mt. Etna.
“I loved this novel and can't wait to read the next in the trilogy. Fascinating, complex characters, a story full of surprising twists and a genuinely shocking ending. First rate suspense.”—Kate, Amazon Reviewer
“[A] gripping and enthralling story… I hated it every time my train was pulling up at my stop because I knew I had to discontinue reading and all I wanted was to keep my head in the book to discover what happened!”—Uncle Book (on his UK book blog)
“I was blown away…This is a dark mystery full of plot twists and strong, well-developed characters. The ending truly left me speechless…”—Comic Book Nerd, Amazon Reviewer

T.V. LoCicero's SQUELCHED: THE SUPPRESSION OF MURDER IN THE SYNAGOGUE Free on Kindle 3/22--26
"I sat down and read Squelched immediately. It was so absorbing that I could do nothing else until I finished it."—Jack Riemer, known as "President Clinton's rabbi"
"Although non-fiction, this detailed book reads with the speed of a best-selling fiction novel."—Israel Drazin, Amazon Top 1000 Reviewer
A compelling story of corporate deceit and criminality, Squelched: The Suppression of Murder in the Synagogue carefully details how a top Republican fund-raiser and wealthy confidant of Richard Nixon effectively pressured Prentice-Hall, Inc., into withdrawing its support for T.V. LoCicero's Murder in the Synagogue, a true crime account of the assassination of Rabbi Morris Adler. As Squelched opens, a remarkable young woman comes forward to tell the author that his book has been undermined by a powerful man she had grown up calling "uncle." Later LoCicero learns that four years after it sabotaged Murder in the Synagogue, the publisher did the same thing to another of its books, Du Pont: Behind the Nylon Curtain. The story of what Prentice-Hall did to the Du Pont book was first told on January 21, 1975, in the New York Times. The story of what happened to Murder in the Synagogue has never been told...until now.
“Misconduct by a major publishing house? A chain of lies and dodgy maneuvers keep the author's first nonfiction work from ever getting off the ground, despite being well-received by almost everyone who (against the odds) manages to read it? And there is nothing unlikely, bizarre or farfetched about any of it. This conspiracy is as pedestrian as pork and beans, and that in itself makes the story utterly believable.”—Eileen McHenry, Amazon Reviewer
“Squelched is a fascinating story of corruption…riveting…more like a novel...”—Gabe, Amazon Reviewer

“…such an ornate thriller and so fantastically told!”--Uncle Book Blog, UK
"… a worthy follow-up to the great first book in this series…Great suspense"--Kate, Amazon Reviewer
One of the UK's top reviewers preferred the Truth Beauty Trilogy’s opener, The Obsession, to the best-selling smash hit Gone Girl. Now with Book 2, The Disappearance, T.V. LoCicero has followed with another stylish and suspense-laden thriller. In Geneva, Italian scholar Lina Lentini is caught up in the shadowy world of Swiss banking. Schemes of betrayal and murder begin to surface when her friend Clara, a bank employee, disappears. Clara's American lover Marc joins Lina in a desperate search, but they find only mysteries until they head to a quiet island in the Bahamas. There a stunning turn that no one sees coming changes everything.
“just as beautifully written as the first. The character's are well developed and believable, the plot is fast-paced and full of unexpected turns, and the ending will leave you impatient for the third installment of this trilogy.”—Comic Book Nerd, Amazon Reviewer
This author knows how to tell a good story while the plot thickens and the suspense builds…well worth the read…”—Barbara, Goodreads

The Last Stoic e-book is free for download from Amazon, March 27-29. 4+ stars. Ancient Rome meets Modern America - Historical Fiction with a twist.
US: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00A9MKOI2
UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00A9MKOI2
CA: http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00A9MKOI2
"Morgan has written a book that is highly original and beautifully executed. The balance between the Roman world and the modern world is maintained with skill and adroitness, and the narrative is deftly woven through both of these time periods, never faltering or losing momentum.
The Last Stoic is a fascinating, parallel look at two societies who are not, as it turns out, as different or distinct as one might think."
- Helen Humphreys
** Long-listed for the 2012 ReLit Award for Fiction.**
The Last Stoic is a story of appetite and fear, both modern and ancient. Half of the story's narrative occurs in the time and place of the ancient Roman Empire; the other half occurs in the present-day United States. The parallels between the two eras are so strong that the narrative continues uninterrupted as the setting shifts from historic Rome to modern America, alternating from chapter to chapter.
Marcus, a young man from a northern provincial border town, journeys deep into the heart of the empire and witnesses first-hand the excesses that can lead to ruin, both personal and political. His story offers an ancient commentary on the preoccupations of our own turbulent times. Shortly after his arrival, the empire is thrown into a panic by an unprecedented barbarian attack on the capital. Suspicion and paranoia abound. A young Roman/American runaway named Patrick, disillusioned with his own life and the state of his country, becomes convinced that Marcus is a dangerous traitor. Culminating in a public accusation made by Patrick, Marcus is wrongfully imprisoned, exiled and tortured as an enemy of the state. In prison, he confronts the many contradictions he has found in his adopted home, and in himself.
Throughout the story, in both eras, the writings of the philosopher-emperor Marcus Aurelius (The Meditations) insinuate themselves unexpectedly into Marcus' life. In prison, he is saved by a chance meeting with Sextus Condianus, the "last Stoic" of the title, a cell-mate who is able to fully recite Aurelius' words and impart their wisdom. Ultimately, it is this unanticipated and unbidden instruction that gives the young man the strength he requires to survive. It becomes evident that the words of the venerable Stoic emperor have as much relevance to our own era as they did to his.

Demons in the Big EasyFree on Amazon today through Sat. http://www.amazon.com/Demons-Big-Easy...
Adventurous in her youth, Cassandra built gateways between Domhan and its parallel realm of Earth. Now she’s too old for that kind of thing. But something is making it easier for demons to pass into Domhan. Not only that, but their behavior becomes inexplicable: whenever Cassandra banishes one, it laughs at her rather than resists, and it promises it will soon devour her essence and that of every resident of her small village. Cassandra is certain such a thing is impossible, for strong wards protect her village.
But then Cassandra’s granddaughter Aine falls through an unstable gateway. Cassandra is the only one within a hundred miles capable of creating a gateway and bringing Aine back. Despite her aching joints, Cassandra goes after her, and the gateway lands her in New Orleans. But something goes wrong with her tracking spell, which indicates Aine exists in four different places at once. As Cassandra struggles to find the true location of her granddaughter in the Big Easy, she discovers the source of the demons’ confidence. Now, with an unlikely pair of allies—her timid granddaughter and a homeless man who may or may not be crazy—she has to not only save her granddaughter but also prevent both Domhan and Earth from being overrun by demons.

My new short story, "The Library," set in the same afterlife as Wander Home, is free on Smashwords (at https://www.smashwords.com/books/view...) and on my website at http://www.karenawyle.net/library.html.Rachel has few memories of love or safety. All her short life, she found refuge in reading. Now, in the afterlife, she is shown a wonderful library, where she can curl up in comfort, and lose herself in books.
But Rachel has other choices. She could be examining the life she left, or exploring places she never had the chance to see. Can a new friend who understands her sorrow help her to leave the shelter of the library, and open herself to the people and places beyond?
The free story introduces the reader to the features of this afterlife, as well as to the character Cassidy from the novel.
My book will be free on the 18th and 19th of April.Title: Two Pair
Blurb: Ashburg, California; the city that's split into rich and not rich, the upper class and the middle class, the snobs and the down-to-earth...that's how the teenagers perceived it, anyway. And it all stemmed from two schools' rivalries. The rivalry has grown now that there are a set of twins that go to Ashburg Arts and a set of twins that go to Ashburg Academy that don't see eye to eye.
Reagan and Ronan Jacoby thought that their only problem was wondering if their cop father, Elijah would make it home from work every day. That is, when he wasn't trying to keep them out of trouble. They didn't think their father dating would complicate things even further.
Savannah and Mickayla Powers thought their only problem lied in the intense dislike they had of each other. They should be classified as fraternal twins rather than identical. The only thing they can agree on is that their mother, famous fashion designer Dallas, was acting strange.
The four girls' lives are turned upside down when they realize that they have something in common, more than just their schools' rivalry and their own problems. There's a family shocking secret that's at play...do they have it in the cards to figure it out?
http://www.amazon.com/Two-Pair-Quadru...
My book will be free on Amazon on 4/5 and 4/6. Thanks for having a look: http://www.amazon.com/As-Luck-Would-H...
Meet Clifford Andrews, a sometimes confused, often cynical, and always entertaining middle-aged baby boomer, whose amazing streak of good luck began when the slightly effeminate but likable Joseph moved in just down the block, right before entering their dreaded three-year prison term called middle school. If having a best friend who was gay would have rattled the typical heterosexual boy in 1973, you are about to learn that Clifford was anything but typical.
Clifford’s luck seems to shadow him everywhere, but he is often forced to ponder the question of whether he has been blessed or cursed by it. Left an orphan at the age of 14, he is forced to move in with his overbearing aunt and somewhat detached uncle. Joseph is regularly bullied in school for being different, but Clifford is determined to protect his friend, and their friendship thrives for more than half a century.
Clifford stumbles into a mundane career as an accounting consultant, but good fortune has seen to it that he never has to work hard or gets into hot water with the insufferable managers. Only later as he nears retirement does disaster intervene and enable him to strike a balance between his luck and the reality of living as an adult in a world that has suddenly and inexplicably shifted.
Narrated from Clifford’s distinct voice of sarcasm and humor, the reader will be drawn into his surreal world of luck, tragedy, and eventual redemption.
My 4th science fiction novel, Brutal Adaptation, will be available for free in Kindle format on Saturday April 6th and Sunday April 7th.An antibiotic resistant bacteria is spreading across Earth. In the midst of this slow but steady plague, Local TV news reporter Wade McDaniel is thrust into an investigation of a conspiracy to hide a new skin disorder in children. But his only source on the story is a doctor who used to be his high-school nemesis. Is the man who beat and tortured him in his teen years leading him into a story with far-reaching consequences, or is he picking up his sadistic routine in a brand new way?
Brutal Adaptation examines the implications of letting fear take control of our actions from both a personal, and a global level. It also takes a fresh and intriguing look at topics from genetic engineering to the nature of the galaxy itself, within a page-turning, science fiction mystery.

My YA novel,
http://www.amazon.com/In-Your-Dreams-...
Sixteen-year-old Zara "Zip" McKee lives for three things: basketball, books, and bailing out of tiny Titusville, Illinois, where the junior high and high school are in the same building and everyone's known everyone else since birth. But when Kieran Lanier moves to town and passes out on her desk on his first day at school, Zip's life gets complicated in a way she never dreamed.
Kieran has narcolepsy, and although he sometimes struggles to stay awake, he has no trouble capturing Zip's heart and trusting her with his most guarded secret--he sees bits and pieces of the future in his dreams.
But just when Zip thinks that maybe she can handle having a boyfriend who sees things before they happen, her budding relationship with Kieran gets a jolt when Kieran's parents reveal that his sleeping disorder is not what it seems and may be putting them in harm's way. And when Zip begins to have unsettling dreams, she must decide if she can live with knowing the future in advance when she's afraid of what might happen.
