Golden Boys is free from Amazon through October 7. http://www.amazon.com/Golden-Boys-ebo...With his easy laugh and knowing eyes, Jell grew up street, while I was raised to be a pillar of society. When the FBI asked me to betray him—the guy I've crushed on since ninth grade—I went straight to Jell. So we have one less secret between us. Which would be great if we didn't have to escape a psychiatric clinic in the middle of the night, half naked, with people shooting at us. The only refuge we can agree to head for is my crazy cousin Gator's retirement village.
Now we're lost. We're cold. And I've never been so alive.

In a world comprised of three rival kingdoms as different from each other as the families that rule them, Emariya Warren is unique in being a daughter of not one but two of the ruling families.
Sixteen years ago, Emariya narrowly escaped dying on their cold estate floor beside her mother. Now, after learning her father has been captured, Emariya makes the desperate decision to follow in her mother's ill-fated footsteps and journey to marry the prince of a rival land, Torian Ahlen. But when Emariya discovers the secrets of the three families and an ominous prophecy warning the three bloodlines must never be combined, she begins to fear the handsome prince waiting for her may desire more than to steal her heart.
CORNERSTONE is a full length Young Adult fantasy.
From Oct. 11th-15th, Redlisted will be FREE for download!Synopsis:
Kate wakes from a gunshot wound to find herself dependent on the blood of the man who shot her. She can't remember who she is and her own face in the mirror is unfamiliar. As she tries to unravel the mystery of her own identity, she's swept along on a covert mission she barely understands.
Revenants, a vampiric race of post-mortals, maneuver for power in the world of plastic surgery, internet conspiracy theories, and information-stifling media conglomerates. Those who can control dream and memory muddy the waters as the mission converges on a underground bunker and the key to a source of eldritch power. Kate must uncover her past and tease apart clues to her companions' urgent mission so she can take a stand before it's too late to act.

Hi everyone. The first book in the Moon Stealer series is now available in the US for free download for kindle on Amazon.com:http://www.amazon.com/Stealers-Quest-...
The Moon Stealers and the Quest for the Silver Bough, by Tim Flanagan
The Yorkshire town of Parsley Bottom has a problem…
Peter Crisp, a boy with an unusual gift of being able to see things that others cannot, goes missing after spending the night in a graveyard. Two of Peter's school friends, join forces with a Knight of King Arthur to attempt to find him but come across some mysterious engravings which propel them on an adventure beyond their imagination.
Meanwhile MI6 operative Steven Knight is sent from London to investigate a meteor landing site, but Steven is advised by his own boss not to trust the puppeteers that hold the strings to his investigation. Within the core of the meteor is an alien bacteria that evolves at an alarming rate that not only puts Steven's life at risk, but the entire human race.
By unravelling ancient codes and riddles the children journey within the bowels of Edinburgh Castle as they attempt to find the key to Peter’s disappearance. The children not only need to save Peter, they need to save the world while they’re at it.
"One of the Best Science Fiction books I've read…."
This science fiction adventure book appeals to both children and adults and raises the possibility of what impact alien bacteria could have on our planet. Would the inherent characteristic of human survival kick in or could the Earth be contaminated and populated by other forms? The genuine scientific and astrological information gives this novel a realistic edge that will leave you considering the possibility of other life forms and parallel worlds long after you turn over the final page.
What the reviewers have to say.
"A definite must read with its imaginative monsters, realistic main characters, science knowledge, mystery and a unique style which keeps you reading." - Amazon Reviewer.
"It was really well written and had such rich detail that made the book shine and come to life …. an amazing jigsaw that slowly comes together." - Best Books.
"One of the best books I have read on the subject so far! I think it will be a big hit with boys. Great start to this series." - Addicted To Books.
"This is a very entertaining book that anyone can enjoy. I can't wait for the next one." - All My Book Finds.
A personal note from the author.
The idea for the Moon Stealers arrived, quite innocently one morning when myself and my son, James were getting ready in the bathroom. He asked me to tell him a story so I randomly said, 'Have you heard the one about the Moon Stealers?' and the seed of imagination started. Only a wild and exciting story would be good enough for him so during our time in the bathroom, we threw loads of ideas at each other and concocted an early form of the story. Later, as I started to write, I found that the ideas seemed to organically grow by themselves. James went through every chapter with his pencil telling me where I had made errors.
Writing a book for teenagers and young people provides a writer a lot more freedom for ideas and possibilities than an adult one. Children are much more likely to accept things that an adult's methodical and scientific brain would be closed to. With children there is no 'that’s not possible,' or 'he wouldn’t do that,' or 'because of the erratic nature of ion's it would not be physically possible for teleportation to occur when it rains.' In short, to a child anything is possible. And, as a writer, that's exciting. Writing The Moon Stealers has taken me on a journey back to my childhood and the stories of fantasy and imagination I read in books and comics.
I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I did writing it.

He enjoys life in the fast lane, with fast cars and even faster women.

He and Rachel are confused by their attraction to each other. Jake’s ill-mannered, unconventional ways are overshadowed only by his notorious reputation. Rachel’s traditional values and quiet, responsible character are the complete opposite of what attracts Jake to a woman. When their forbidden attraction turns to love, what will happen at the end of the trail?

http://www.amazon.com/Dark-Passage-eb...
Tyson Barrett used to be happy. Used to have a family, a son, a thriving business. Now he has nothing but long sleepless nights broken only by nightmares so terrifying they threaten his sanity. So when he is asked to join an underground drug trial that will "cure" him, he agrees.
But this cure comes with a terrible price. One that will force him to confront a dark past he thought he left buried up at Sunnybrook Asylum. One that will put his soul at risk, and will threaten everything he ever loved.
The mind is full of halls. And some of the darkest passages lead to rooms better left closed.
Some reviews:
"This is truly one of the most terrifying horror stories that I have ever read. I have a long history with Stephen King and Dean Koontz, so that is saying a lot!!!"
"I would definitely recommend this book to true lovers of horror/thrillers and wouldn't mind reading it again, which is rare for me."
"BRAVO!! The characters were wonderful,the story was perfect!"
"At one point it was soooo creepy (and more than a bit gruesome) that I had to stop eating my snack."

Black Friday Free Book Now 11/23 Only! http://amzn.to/Q7FXIp UK: http://amzn.to/SU89mw also DE FR SP IT JP Travel To The G-Spot Top 100 Bestseller Satire Danny Gladstone is a travel writer with a problem; he’s dying.
Determined to make sense out of what just happened to his life, he looks back through some of his stories from around the world to figure out how he reached this disturbing closing chapter. Along the way, he recounts a childhood of coddled captivity in the suburbs and not being allowed to cross the big streets alone, to exotic tales of intrigue, indulgence and debauchery in places from Thailand to Tonga to Times Square. He confesses that he considers travel writing an addiction that he must overcome, and admits that he’s only done it to confront his self-loathing and fear of everything.
He also manages to blow the lid off a secretive world of free trips and professional perks that exposes the dirty underbelly of a filthy business that is obviously not a problem to anyone but himself.
It’s the humorous, dark and oddly hopeful story of a character who was raised to always do his best, learns that’s often not required, and, instead of just getting on with his life like everyone else, continually sabotages his own best efforts by actually questioning why that's okay? It's a line of inquiry he deeply believes more people should be exploring, and though time’s running out for Danny, he can still remember Nana Belle, his grandmother, who made his childhood bed and cooked his soft-boiled eggs, saying, "It's never too late."
How much of the book is realistic?
According to the author, "All of it, I hope. It's a fictional memoir of a guy in our world. He's a writer. He has a family and friends. He travels to some pretty exotic places and writes about it, but he's not a werewolf or a hobbit. It has to seem real, I think. The thing is, I've been a travel writer for a long time. It's a great life, and worth sharing. Although I always strive for the truth, there's a deeper level of truth that isn't wanted in stories that are published. This book is an effort to get closer to those deeper truths by telling a story about what really happens to a writer on one fantastic trip after another that most people can only dream about. There's a dark side to it, sure, but overall it's just supposed to be funny. I hope it resonates for readers who grew up in the 50s, 60s and 70s, and for those who wonder why all those folks are the way they are."
“...combines gritty realism, sharp social satire, hilarious comedy and a smooth, confident writing style.”
-Goodreads
" …kinda like a little Paul Theroux, mixed with some Hunter S. Thompson. Stir in a tad of Philip Roth and shake vigorously.”
-Taos Cowboy
“…a very, very funny book.”
-The Oklahoman
It’s a must read for anyone who travels, wants to, or ever dreamed of being a travel writer.

Two powers, two quests, two fates...two mortals struggling against the very forces with which they might have aligned themselves, had they been given the opportunity to choose. Two mortals, light and dark, locked into one intense battle. A battle of which the end has already been written in blood. A blood not their own, just as the battle is not their own. And yet, they must fight.
The year is 2E739, the second millennium since Euroclydonus, the last epic battle to shake Wundyrr's foundations. Two thousand years of peace--at least between mortal and spiritual elements--and now, the hidden script of a writing called simply "the prophecy" threatens to immerse the world of Wundyrr once more in a hideous battle, the likes of which could very well rival the infamous Euroclydonus.
Tiernan Lebonn is the single last link between Wundyrr and vitality. Should he fail in his impossible quest to seal evil once more within its fiery prison, the shadow will rise up to devour not only him, but also the world he calls home.
His counterpart, Shiloh of Cheokk, has been steeped in darkness since the day she was born and is bent on winning her own glory through the very disaster Tiernan is trying to prevent.
For either one to claim victory, they must completely lose themselves within the essence of their quests and trust that the powers to which they have surrendered will bear them up in triumph.
But as with any battle, only one can claim the victory. Or perhaps neither can.

Their love-lust triangle re-ignites, and they flee and chase down the storied Italian boot to a shocking conclusion on volcanic Mt. Etna.
“…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

Murder in the Synagogue
On Lincoln’s birthday, 1966, a young man stood on the bimah of a multi-million dollar synagogue in suburban Detroit and, confronting his audience of 700 with the Colt .32 revolver he would soon use to commit murder and suicide, he announced: “This congregation is a travesty and an abomination. It has made a mockery by its phoniness and hypocrisy of the beauty and spirit of Judaism..."
“I was absolutely enthralled by it. It’s one of those non-fiction novels that one simply cannot put down.”-–Robert Coles, Pulitzer Prize-winning author

Squelched: The Suppression of Murder in the Synagogue
A compelling true story of corporate deceit and criminality; how a major American publisher was pressured to insure that the author’s book, Murder in the Synagogue, would fail; how a remarkable young Jewish woman came forward to tell the author that a wealthy supporter of Richard Nixon had arranged to “squelch” his book, and how the young writer learned an unpleasant lesson on how the world works.
"It was so absorbing that I could do nothing else until I finished it."--Jack Riemer, known as "President Clinton's rabbi"

Hello all,A previously #1 most-downloaded novel in "Mysteries and Thrillers" - The Black Mile - is free until Sunday. Multiple 4 and 5 star reviews.
London, 1940: the Luftwaffe blitzes London every night for fifty-seven nights. Houses, shops and entire streets are wiped from the map. The underworld is in flux: the Italian criminals who dominated the West End have been interned and now their rivals are fighting to replace them. Meanwhile, hidden in the shadows, the Black-Out Ripper sharpens his knife and sets to his grisly work.
Henry Irving is a disgraced reporter on a Fleet Street scandal rag. Genius detective sergeant Charlie Murphy is a fresh face in the Metropolitan police, hunting corrupt colleagues but blinkered by ambition and jealousy. His brother, detective inspector Frank Murphy, searches frantically for his runaway daughter, terrified that she will be the killer's next victim.
As the Ripper stalks the terrified streets, the three men discover that his handiwork is not quite what it seems. Conspirators are afoot, taking advantage of the chaos to settle old scores. The murders invade the lives of the victims and victimizers on both sides of the law, as everyone is sucked deeper and deeper into Soho's black heart.
'A brilliant debut novel from a very promising writer.' Subject
'Ultra-addictive, super-stylish - a viciously good novel.' Toby Litt.
'A talent to be watched.' Birmingham Post
'This is far and above the best small/independently published novel I have ever had the pleasure of reading.' The Kindle Book Review
'Dawson has shown himself to be a true master of suspense'. Siobian Minish
'This book is worth it for the arcane London slang alone. Fascinating. If want to get a feel for what it was like during the early part of WWII this will knock you out. If you like character development you'll love it. If you like peeking in on the lives of people in a long gone world -- you really love it.' David E Johnson
