I'm sorry that it took me so long Tony, but your book is on the list here. I'll ad your name to the "Honor Roll" too while I'm at it.

If anything, I'm also a firm believer in "try before you buy," and you can read 'em for free and "mostly unedited" over at my litblog, The Pen Is My Sword - http://www.thepenismysword.com
I currently have Taboo 1 up over there, which I haven't formatted yet.

Suffice it to say, it kinda caught me off-guard.
Anyway, the blurb for the series followed by the actual links~!
----------------------
It's an action-adventure urban fantasy set in a near-future Neo-L.A. chock full of all kindsa fun. Here's the blurb for the series in general, followed by Taboo 0, the first story.
Action. Adventure. Fist to face. The Generalist is a hard-hitting ride through the Los Angeles of tomorrow, stuffed to the brim with monster-gene humans turned cannibal, Artifacts of enormous strength warping the very fabric of reality itself, secret organizations seeking to out-maneuver each other for ultimate power, and every day a simple miracle just to survive.
And who's standing between the rest of us "mundane citizens" and the myriad forces that seek to devour and conquer this world and those beyond?
The two violence-prone action junkies of the Shop: Frank Todd, the Generalist, and Daniel "Dash" Hopkins, his troll-gened companion and partner-in-crime.
Taking on all foes and challenges no matter how great or small, the Shop will do the job, get the pay, and woe betide any and all who dare to thwart their will!
Magic, martial arts, misfits, monsters and mayhem!
The Generalist! Because you simply cannot read about people getting punched in the face ENOUGH!

Amazong ($2.99, should be $1.50 soon)

Smashwords ($1.50 right the hell now!)

-----------------------
I'm also giving away copies over at Making Connections (and I guess here? Er, all of Goodreads? I'm still a newb here at GR) in exchange for honest reviews. If you think it sucks, cool - if you think it rocks, even cooler.
Hope to hear from ya guys~!

I've got three to add...
Action thriller, The Defector...
http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Defector-...
Follow up, The Wrecking Crew...
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wrecking-Crew...
And historical spy thriller

Sorry I took so long getting them there!"
I'd say that was PDQ :-)


The Hoard of the Doges
When her boss finds an Old Master painting buried under centuries of junk in a Venetian cellar, restoration specialist Rei Quinn is over the moon. When she gets kidnapped and the ransom demand is the painting, her enthusiasm understandably wanes. Along with her husband, security specialist Gideon, and their pilot friend Mac, the Quinns discover and decipher a map encoded in the painting. Taking off for Venice and her bygone territories, they begin the search for a treasure hidden since the Crusades. Hot on the trail are members of an ancient crime family, determined to finally claim the Venetian wealth. Who will be the first to find the hoard of the Doges?
The Hoard of the Doges is a fast paced adventure, whisking the reader back to Venice in the Middle Ages and forward to the Greek Isles and beyond.

SO, ohhhhhh boy. Is it ON!
The Generalist - Taboo 1: Where's the Beef? Now for sale via Smashwords and Amazon at the low price of $1.50!
Get it while it's still at that price~!
Smashwords - https://www.smashwords.com/books/view...
Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/The-Generalist-...
In Taboo 0, we got a glimpse into the fractured world of near tomorrow, a Neo-L.A. teeming with cannibal monstrosities and the secret societies who prey on the populace.
In Taboo 1, the boys get jumped by a catgirl, battle for supremacy in the mean streets of Neo-L.A., and fight back against a hostile takeover from a new unit within the Mob!
And then the Catholics get involved...again.

The Generalist! Because you cannot read about people getting punched in the face ENOUGH!
Did I mention free copies for reviews? :D I'm giving away up to 10 copies of Taboo 1 in exchange for yer review at Smashwords and Amazong!
Now, what was that? You're not in the MOOD for writing? Well then...HOW ABOUT FREE FOREVER?!

The Generalist - Taboo 0: Cliché of Memories, FOREVER FREEEEEEE~!

Congratulations, G! That's really cool. I'm putting your book on my to-read shelf.

I'm a new author in the military/espionage thriller genre. My first novel is titled 'Red Sky at Morning', and is the first in a series. You can read reviews right here on Goodreads. I've just completed the sequel and I am working with the publisher to see it go to press sometime in January.
Naturally, I like to think my book is a little different from others in the genre. You can read the prologue and first chapter free by visiting my website, www.stevewilsonauthor.com.
Glad to be part of the group!

Hi Amy, long time no see, but, you've been busy (lots of books huh?) I'll ad 13 to this list, did you have any others you wish me to add?
(Same to you Steve, I'll ad Red Sky and there were a couple others mentioned on the intro-thread I need to add.)

What kind of horse are you getting, Amy?

I wonder if that's why people keep trying to give me more horses?

I know I'm way behind getting these books on the list. Please forgive me and let me know if your books are not yet on the list and what books they are.
We want to get all of them that are eligible on the poll for the "member-author Book of the Month" (or the Maboom, if you will). PM me or post here, (even if you already have) and I'll try to get your books where ever I remember seeing you post about them.

Have fun.

I'll ad these to the group. Free or pay for copies are up to you anyway, your books could be chosen on the poll either way.

Tommy Scarred Wolf thought he had smelled the powder for the last time ten years ago. Then somebody messed with his family.
With no government willing or able to help out, it’s up to Tommy and his detective brother, Vince, to find Vince’s kidnapped daughter halfway around the world. But rescuing her is going to take funding, firepower, and friends. Fortunately, Tommy knows some shooters just crazy enough to tag along–including survivors from his last suicide mission: retired SEAL team commander Rocco Cavarra; former Delta Force operator Jake McCallum; and the unflappable sniper Leon Campbell.
On the ocean and in jungles both natural and urban, Tommy Scarred Wolf and his warrior brothers will face human traffickers, modern day pirates, a freak typhoon, and an ultra-secret black ops team so dangerous even the CIA can’t touch them. There’s something far more sinister than just “white slavery” going on here, and it’s about to ram these men through a crucible which may never end…except in death.

I'd appreciate if you'd add Heaven's On Hold: An Adam Wolf Thriller (the follow-up to Resurrected) to the list.
Thanks,
Steve

You know, you are already on *my* list. Anything as addicting as these books have been, I'm sure they are illegal and therefore must be on lists somewhere already.
Downloaded the sample, got to the end and immediately bought the book ... and haven't done anything I was supposed to do today and probably won't until I get to the end. This is not good, not when I still have horses to feed and a commission for book illustrations to work on.
Obviously, I have no will power at all.

Thanks, Sharon. Addicting and illegal, huh? Now that's what I call a testimonial. But please, read fast ... for your horses sake.

Heaven's On Hold: An Adam Wolf Thriller

"
Fortunately (for the horses) I am a fast reader ... and they did get fed. Will have reviews up today hopefully.
My only question ... how fast do you write? I'm ready for the next one!


I just decided today to make the first book in the series free via my website, for any interested parties (kindle and epub formats): http://www.ruzkin.com/?p=1742
Thanks so much for your consideration!
