Bob Dylan wrote the classic song Knockin' on Heaven's Door and thereby unforgettably marked the passing of an otherwise insignificant character in the movie Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid.

Brendan Gisby has written this utterly beautiful novella to honour the short life of his father, a man of seemingly as little significance.

The story is narrated with haunting subtlety, rhythm and depth of feeling by his teenage son as he takes a bus ride back to school for the first day of a new term where he will have to announce his father's sudden death and deal with the resultant reactions without bursting into tears.

He also has to come to terms with the fact that, on reflection, there is a huge amount he doesn't know about his father and that all he is really left with are snippets of personal memories.

Make no mistake, The Bookie's Runner is a modern masterpiece and, in writing it, Brendan Gisby has not only honoured his father, he has ennobled him.

What they're saying about it:

"This book is nothing short of gorgeous. It may be one of the most poignant books I have ever read."--Tiffany Harkleroad, reviewer, Tiffany's Bookshelf

"It is too late to read this before Brendan's Dad died and to put things right, and that would somewhat undermine the point of the book, but there is time yet to read it before you do. Yes, it is one of those books for sure."--Tim Roux, author and publisher

Set on a beautiful islet lying in the shadow of the world-famous Forth Railway Bridge in Scotland, this superbly written tale centres on the creatures who inhabit it – a huge colony of rats who have made their home beneath the crumbling ruins of the monastery. ‘Home’ is hardly the word for the native black creatures, however, who live under the cruel dictatorship of the larger brown rats who took over the colony when they first arrived in their masses from a passing foreign ship.

Of the original black rats, Twisted Foot is a rodent on a mission, and one cannot help but feel compassion for our protagonist as he carries us along with him through his trials and tribulations, until finally deciding to take matters into his own hands and make a bid for freedom.

This is a delightful and cleverly constructed story. With his excellent powers of description, Brendan Gisby has produced an enthralling and utterly fascinating book – and one which is an absolute must for anyone who has ever read and enjoyed Watership Down.


What they're saying about it:

“Brendan Gisby, with his cast of larger-than-life furry characters, sheds imaginative new light on a host of lessons societies everywhere need to be reminded of. The principles, motives and actions of his most powerful rats mirror perfectly many of the human beings who manipulate all the rest of us. An outstanding accomplishment!” ~ Tom Winton, author

“Reminiscent of Richard Adams' Watership Down, Brendan Gisby's novel is a mesmerizing tale of conquest, enslavement and yearning for a life of freedom from oppression and harm.” ~ George Polley, blogger and writer

Chaos unfolds as the snow falls, ushered along by the ghosts of the town's previous inhabitants. Acting on orders from some unknown power, it's their duty to see that the town gets the justice it has been lacking. If anyone's alive by dawn, they're either lucky - or innocent.

This is Spring City's last night, but its citizens won't go quietly.

What they're saying about it:

"If you love Stephen King, you will absolutely love Jonathan Face's Catharsis. I started reading this book because it was the next one on the list in my Kindle. I had no idea what it was about. But as i continued to read, i had to stop and actually go back to the beginning of the book and see the name of the author because I truly, truly thought it was Stephen King. The writing styles are very, very similar and the character development is "spot on". This is a "must read" for those out there looking for a Stephen King "fix" -- only this is NOT Stephen King; it is Jonathan Face!!!! I will keep this author on my radar, as i am looking forward to seeing more from him. Enjoy -- I did!!!!!!!"--Amazon Reviewer

For fans of Dean Koontz, Stieg Larsson, and Harlan Coben. Ten years after a tragic clinical trial testing a secret fear-response drug, the research volunteers realize the experiment is still underway.

LIQUID FEAR: A Mystery Thriller
When Roland Doyle wakes up with a dead woman in his motel room, the only clue is a mysterious vial of pills bearing the label “Take one every 4 hrs or else.”

Ten years before, six people were involved in a secret pharmaceutical trial that left one of them dead and five unable to remember what happened. Now the experiment is continuing, as Dr. Sebastian Briggs concludes his research into fear response and post-traumatic stress disorder. He’s backed by a major drug company and an ambitious U.S. Senator, but he also has a personal stake in the outcome.

Only by taking the mysterious pills can the survivors stave off the creeping phobias, sexual impulses, and inflicted madness that threaten to consume them. But the pills have an unexpected side effect—the survivors start remembering the terrible acts they perpetrated a decade ago. They are lured back to the Monkey House, the remote facility where the original trials took place, and Briggs has prepared it for their return.

Now they are trapped, they each have only one pill left, and cracks are forming in their civilized veneer.

After the pills are gone, there’s only one option. “Or else.”

Deal with the Devil, part one, by J. Gunnar Grey

Astraea Press
Barnes and Noble (Nook)



Wehrmacht Major Faust has a dangerous secret: he likes England. But it’s May 1940 and his Panzers are blasting the British Army off Dunkirk’s beach, so he keeps his mouth shut even though it hurts. When the Waffen SS try to murder their English prisoners of war, Faust helps the POWs escape. Now it’s treason, with his neck on the line.

Then a friend gets him drunk, straps him into a parachute, and throws him out over Oxford during a bombing run. He’s quickly caught. Because he helped type the battle plan for the invasion of England, Faust cannot allow himself to be broken in interrogation. Two German armies depend on it. But every time he escapes, someone rapes and murders a woman and the English are looking for someone to hang. He’s risking disaster if he stays, someone else’s life if he runs, and execution by the Gestapo if he makes it home.

Major Stoner, professor turned British intelligence officer, sees three possibilities. Faust perhaps was joyriding in that bomber, as he claims. Or he’s on a reconnaissance mission for the German invasion. Or he’s a spy. Stoner must break Faust to learn the truth, no matter how it strains his old heart. He must save England, and his granddaughter.

Their battlefield is confined to a desktop. Only one of them can win. Someone must break. Someone must make a Deal with the Devil.

What they're saying about it:

"I've just finished reading Part One of Deal With the Devil, and I'm counting the days until Part Two is available on Amazon. This story is a winner!
I usually read women's fiction, so a book dealing with World War II, set in 1940s England, and with a male protagonist is a big departure for me. But Grey's skillful writing grabbed me from Page 1 and held me throughout the book's pages. Protagonist Major Faust is one of the most intriguing characters I've encountered in a long time. I like him, but I'm not completely sure I can trust him. The minor characters are interesting as well, and their personalities are revealed through their interactions with Faust. Each character stands alone, distinct from the others, yet they all mesh together to create a plot that kept me reading later than I should have on more than one evening.

I whole-heartedly recommend this book to lovers of World War II history, readers of mysteries, and fans of all-around good stories. Deal With the Devil, Part Two, is at the top of my TBR list!"--Amazon Reviewer

Jake is a NASA pioneer pilot in a newly developed one-man explorer ship who takes to the stars to escape torment. Odds of survival are less than four in ten, and it is believed NASA pads the statistics.

He is forced to crash on an unknown planet that is dying, as its star gets colder in defiance of the laws of physics.

It gets more complex when he rescues a beautiful girl and struggles to overcome the life and death challenges of the planet's inhabitants, mega-fauna, and extreme climate.

Welcome to My World…

I’m an author of chick lit romances and mysteries. In my spare time I’m Wonder Woman! My world is sometimes wacky, quirky, and very accident-prone.

This is a collection of five humorous short stories – what I like to call true fiction. Some are true, some are fiction, and some are a mixture of both. I guess you have to decide which is which!

I often get asked if I’m like any of my characters in my novels, and I have to groan and say, yes. When you read these stories you’ll realize how, and a lot of them have inspired scenes in my novels, although names have been omitted or changed to protect me against lawsuits!

Are you ready to find out “how to dump your boyfriend in the men’s toilets”, why “yoga is bad for your house”, what the “S-Word has to do with your lady garden”, why you need to “follow that goat”, and whether “kismet” does really exist?

(Short stories total 6,500 words. Includes bonus material and chapters from my novels, Fourteen Days Later, My Perfect Wedding, The Fashion Police, and Be Careful What You Wish For)

What they're saying about it:

“Most of these stories are laugh out loud funny, written by a terrific writer who is always capable of engaging her audience. The last story is touching and made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Great job Sibel, can't wait to read more of your work.” -- Mel Comley, author of Impeding Justice

The answer lies with Keats… With these cryptic last words, the man sprawled out on the floor of the rustic cabin expires - murdered. What could he have meant? Why Keats? Which answer? (For that matter, what was the question?)

All this and more passes through the mind of the young householder who discovers the body. If only he knew the guy’s name. Or anybody’s name. Including his own…

From here, our John Doe is hurtled along a path of self-discovery. With the help of Enescu Fleet, retired private detective and (according to some) the world’s most fascinating man, he will delve into an exciting new game show called Deadly Allusions, where trivia and murder compete for top billing. Along the way, he will attempt to figure out the dead man’s clue - and quite possibly nab a murderer who is too smart for his own good.

What they're saying about it:

"Zany, fun and amusing read. It's got a bit of Sherlockian pastiche, a bit of romance, a lot of clues, a few dead bodies (some of which don't seem to stay dead), some slap-stick humor (yeah, I gave in and had to laugh out loud a couple of times even though I'm very reserved and do not snicker at just any silly joke. I pride myself on being a humor snob, so I reined myself in before the giggles completely dissolved into tears and helpless laughter.) Great way to spend a lazy weekend. Recommended for cozy fans and puzzle fans."--Amazon Reviewer

"This is a fun mystery book that I think cozy mystery lovers will really enjoy, so I highly recommend giving it a try. It's different, and sometimes that's perfect. Great book for reading by the pool or by a fire! I'll certainly be on the lookout for more Enescu Fleet mysteries."--Amazon Reviewer

The idea that someone would become Edward for someone is such a smart idea! Everyone has changed something about themselves for someone else at some point in their lives, this is just on a grander scale.

What they're saying about it:

"L.j. Charles has a fresh voice that is addictive. I couldn't get enough of her. Nia is in the midst of a crisis, and it only seems to follow her wherever she goes, yet she never loses her sense of humor. The danger is very real, the paranormal aspects are just enough without being over the top, and the story will keep you turning pages way too late into the night." ~ S. McAllen


"The Knowing, by L.J. Charles, is filled with unique, diverse characters whose voices and personalities leap off the page. Her main character, Nia, has an unusual gift and the way Charles introduces it draws you into the story and the character's life.

Charles' writing is fast paced, the story engrossing, and her voice entertaining. The humor she injects into the story had me laughing out loud.

I've already purchased The Calling as well. And I'm looking forward to reading the third book in the trilogy.

The Knowing is a keeper."~ T. Reasor

The dead talk to her. Some would call it a gift. She’s a retired police detective, and he’s a by-the-book FBI agent with a leak in his department. Connected by a terrorist and a murder victim, they partner up—strictly business—until her Grandmamma is abducted and she’s forced to face the truth about her past.

What they're saying about it:

"The sexual tension in The Calling is crazy good. Plus, it's a fun cat and mouse game as the hero and heroine try to outsmart each other. Highly recommend it!" ~ A. Maynard

"L. j. Charles has done it again. This one had me on the edge of my seat throughout, never knowing where the next blow was going to come from. We first met Whitney and Blake in The Knowing, and they're even better here as they work together (or sometimes against each other) to sort out the clues in time to save Grandmamma Boulay." ~ S.

When forest fire threatens the communities near Matt’s small airstrip at Brooke’s Vale, flying fire prevention missions is initially just about being a good neighbour. Unfortunately his primary experience is cropspraying, with firefighting a distant second. Involuntarily grounded, Matt is left to organise the community when communications and power are lost. With the airfield the only connection to the outside world, it is vital to get people out. Unfortunately Brooke’s Vale isn’t the only town under threat. A rash of arsonists, unseasonal winds, and the sheer scale of the fires leave the emergency services stretched beyond the limit.

No one, however - not even Shelby and Shauna - can guess how extraordinary they are until the vice consul of Miriax, a planet from another dimension, asks them to take part in a dangerous mission. From that moment on, Shelby and Shauna Kitt discover that the universe is full of klodians, cities in jungles, giant bats, and tea with mushrooms. Most of all, they discover that it will take more than special powers for them to face - and survive - the evil that threatens the galaxy.

What they're saying about it:

"Cloud Nine deals with the growing relationship between a teenaged girl and her self-appointed spirit guardian, and the many situations she faces as she tries to synch him up into her typical teenager life. These implicit complications include her friends, family and a former boyfriend. Definetively a fine romance to read.
The author seems to possess a keen knowledge of the teen mind, which makes her able to create credible teenagers, quite a difficult deed. Earlier on, the writer manages to pull one of the most dangerous stunts in the English language: switching from one character viewpoint to another while still mantaining the first person narrative... and she succeeds. Usually this is certain literary suicide; some readers will find find these non-standard handling of conventions jarring and confusing. But the author apparently thinks 'Damn the torpedoes' and goes full speed ahead, spinning a very charming tale with a lot of bravado. Highly recommended."--Amazon Reviewer

"Powered by a rich kind of nonlinear anti-narrative, Davidson weaves and cajoles us into believing that reality can be fiction and fiction reality, but more importantly, to stop looking for the border that divides the two."-Jennifer Thompson, Black Heart Magazine

Barnes and Noble (Nook)



Disfigured by the blow of an abusive husband, and suffering her entire life with severe social anxiety disorder, the widow Mary McAllister spends almost sixty years secluded in a white marble mansion overlooking the town of Mill River, Vermont. Her links to the outside world are few: the mail, the media, an elderly priest with a guilty habit of pilfering spoons, and a bedroom window with a view of the town below.

Most longtime residents of Mill River consider the marble house and its occupant peculiar, though insignificant, fixtures. An arsonist, a covetous nurse, and the endearing village idiot are among the few who have ever seen Mary. Newcomers to Mill River--a police officer and his daughter and a new fourth grade teacher--are also curious about the reclusive old woman. But only Father Michael O'Brien knows Mary and the secret she keeps--one that, once revealed, will change all of their lives forever.

The Mill River Recluse is a story of triumph over tragedy, one that reminds us of the value of friendship and the ability of love to come from the most unexpected of places.

""This book is a must read. The storyline is so well thought out and the characters leap off the page. What I loved best about this book was the message of hope, compassion and community in the face of tragedy. Great, great read..."--Amazon Reviewer

Wearing the Cape by Marion G. Harmon

Price: $2.99

Where to Get It:

Amazon.com (Kindle)



Who wants to be a superhero?

Hope did, but she grew out of it. Which made her superhuman breakthrough in the Ashland Bombing, just before starting her freshman year at the University of Chicago, more than a little ironic.

And now she has some decisions to make. Given the code-name "Astra" and Invited to join the Sentinels, Chicago’s premier super-team, will she take up the cape and mask and become a career superhero? Or will she get a handle on her new powers (super-strength has some serious drawbacks) and then get on with her life-plan?

In a world where superheroes join unions and have agents, and the strongest and most photogenic ones become literal supercelebrities, the temptation to become a cape is strong. But the price can be high—especially if you’re “outed” and lose the shield of your secret identity.

Becoming a sidekick puts the decision off for awhile, but Hope’s life is further complicated when The Teatime Anarchist, the supervillain responsible for the Ashland Bombing, takes an interest in her. Apparently as Astra, Hope is supposed to save the world. Or at least a significant part of it.


What they're saying about it:

"Superhero fiction is so full of tropes that it's nearly impossible to write something new. Wearing The Cape manages that heroic feat, being both a classic superhero story and a new take on the genre all at the same time."--Amazon Reviewer

"If you love comic-book superheroes, you'll love this.
If you hate comic-book superheroes you'll still love this!
The author takes a tired genre graphic-novel superhero concept and tranforms it into a very readable, thought-provoking and throughly enjoyable book that I cannot recommend highly enough."--Amazon Reviewer

1.The Bitter Fruit

3.The Deadly Gift
Asha races to save a prince’s dying wife and confronts a dangerous man from her past.

What they're saying about it:

"I enjoyed reading this little book. While the stories may seem a bit disconnected initially, they work in concert to give you a whole - a picture of Asha's world. You get a real sense of how it is in this time and place: it's mysteries bad and good. I think there is a great deal for the reader to gain from Mr. Lewis' writing. I must agree with the other reviewer who called his style "lyrical and fluid, spare and yet vividly evocative." I couldn't have said it better myself. Somehow, this book seemed to quiet my soul. It seems to say, "Everything's not okay, but that in itself is okay."--Amazon Reviewer

A mysterious letter.

A murderous plot.

An ancient curse.

And an unlikely hero with a lifelong fear of cheese.

Anonymouse: The Exceptional Escapades of Miles Ovalbum is the unforgettable, two-part tale of an intrepid mouse who risks his life to repay a gallant act from the past.

Anonymouse follows Miles on a perilous adventure packed with action, humor and intrigue. Through alternating chapters and overlapping events, the lives of the valiant hero, his friends and associates along with a British couple and their cats intertwine in a series of events triggered by an anonymous letter delivered in the dead of night.

In Part One, Miles writes a letter warning Dwight and Delilah Percival that nefarious forces intend to harm their cats, William and Shakespeare. He hopes the note will spur the Percivals to return to London and avoid a deadly catastrophe. Instead, it initiates a series of increasingly daunting challenges for Miles as well as a puzzling mystery for Dwight and Delilah.

In Part Two, Miles risks everything—his fiancé, his freedom and his future—to stop the murderous plot against William and Shakespeare. As Miles works to save the two cats, Dwight and Delilah enlist the aid of a noted paranormal expert, a local historian and the village constable to unravel the truth behind the mysterious letter.


What they're saying about it:

"I seriously could not put this book down. My wife complained about the Kindle light keeping her awake, but I didn't care. It is a great story for children and adults. The characters are well drawn. The reader understands the fear and honor that Miles Ovalbum (gotta love that name!) displays as he is bound to protect the lives of two cats William and Shakespeare. The story straddles both the human world and Rodentia, a city where rodents of all types live. The chapters link well to each other (England to Rodentia and back again). The wordplay was fabulous. I don't wish to spoil it for you, but a talent agent named Fontina Brie is just too good of a name. I cannot wait to read the sequel. I don't care if my wife complains (don't tell her I said that!)"--Amazon Reviewer
