BOOK DESCRIPTION
What happens when a workaholic serial remodeler falls in love with an old stone cottage built by an ornithologist and his eccentric Irish wife? If you’re Madison Boone, you kick your budding romance with handsome Psych Professor Coleman Welles to the curb and lose yourself in a new project.

Madison is a skilled property “flipper” who renovates distressed homes in addition to her busy real estate sales career. She struggles with the inability to put down roots years after the sudden death of her beloved parents. Madison and her three wise, hilarious friends all wonder if she uses her busy, work-centric lifestyle as an excuse to avoid connection with anyone but them.

When Madison checks out a probate sale outside Healdsburg, California, she falls in love with the European-style house on a private tract of land overlooking Lake Sonoma. In fact, she likes the place so much she climbs in the window for a private tour. With help from lawyer and friend Genevieve Delacourt, Madison soon learns that the estate’s corrupt attorney has manipulated the sale and is attempting to steer the purchase to an anonymous client in a deceitful plan for personal gain.

Good fortune enables her to purchase the Blackburne’s property, but far more than a new home and lush gardens await discovery during this renovation. As Madison works on the remodel, she’s drawn into an old love story with dangerous consequences. In the process, she discovers herself as she unearths buried secrets. The series of events both endanger Madison and lead her to love – and a permanent home. Mark of the Loon is the skillful combination of history, mystery, and romance in a novel that explores deep friendship, choices, and how individuals cope with loss.

BOOK DESCRIPTION
The elite aren't afraid of laws or regulators or voters. The only thing they fear is an uprising of the people.

That fear is about to be realized.

The man who now calls himself Thomas Paine lived by the rules until he lost everything, including health insurance for his dying wife. Now he's vowed to bring about a Second Bill of Rights using vigilante violence against the "real Public Enemies" -- politicians, banksters, lobbyists, and CEO's.

Can FBI Agent Darren Medlin stop Paine before those for whom the American Dream has turned into the American Nightmare join his "American Insurgency"? Can vigilante tactics spawn a non-violent third party and achieve true political reform, or will government squash that as well?

And what about young talk show host Crystal Dickerson? By using her show to announce his demands, Paine thrusts her into a spotlight she's not yet ready for. What decisions will she have to make, and how far will Medlin go before he draws his own line in the sand?

BOOK DESCRIPTION

The first book in the groundbreaking Chronicles of the Nameless Dwarf.

Nils Fargin reckons he's a big fish in a little pond. After all, he's son of a guildmaster, ain't he? But when he arrives at the brigand settlements in the Outlands, he may be a tad out of his depth.

It had seemed a straight forward enough task, leading a dwarf with no name to the wizard Jankson Brau. Plan was to get some information about a bunch of dwarves who'd headed through the Malfen Pass.

Trouble is, the dwarves are the survivors of the recent massacre at the ravine city, Arx Gravis, and Nils's companion, the Nameless Dwarf, is none other than the butcher they are fleeing from.

Like it or not, Nils's path takes him to the bandit town of Malfen, where the Nameless Dwarf must confront its terrifying ruler, Shent, the Ant-Man.

"I can say with no hyperbole that D.P. Prior is one of the most promising fantasy writers emerging on the scene today. Featuring a style that's intelligent yet accessible, imaginative yet concrete, the books in his Chronicles of the Nameless Dwarf series are a must for anyone hoping to get a sense of what's next in the fantasy genre. All of the books are highly rated and backed by respected reviewers, meaning this should more than tide you over until the next season of Game of Thrones starts." (The Kindle Fire Department)

BOOK DESCRIPTION
WHISPERS OF A LEGEND, VOLUME I
A semi-finalist in THE KINDLE BOOK REVIEW'S BEST SCIT-FI/FANTASY OF 2012!

Whispers of a Legend saga: Kela Calledwdele was born with a destiny, a Euchoun with only one purpose in life...to protect. Torn between two worlds, Kela soon discovers she is the hope of both. Now she must find the courage to face the destiny fate has dictated to her.

Kela has always known what path in life she would follow. She was born a Euchoun. Half Witheleghean, a passive peaceful race where magic runs freely and the other half, Sordarin, a valiant warrior race of hawkmen who rule the sky, she knows well her parents gave the ultimate sacrifice to give her a chance to live. Yet, in so doing, they have left Kela unprepared to face the dangers that await her. Her instincts are to protect and in this she does, but in so doing it leads her into a world where she knows not whom to trust. In time her power matures and grows stronger when she bonds with a Sordarin warrior, Cono. She learns well why she holds the power. An evil as no other before, Asmeodai, has emerged but all is not what it seems as a dark cloak encompasses her family. Betrayal, distrust, treachery leaves Kela alone. She is torn by her desire for Cono and the purpose, the path, she has been given to follow. And when another emerges within her world, one who seemly wants only to help her along her path, she is pulled further away from her Sordarin.

Shadows of the Past, Book One of the Whispers of a Legend is the first in nine installments of the saga. It is a journey of a young woman’s battle to embrace her destiny. Whispers of a Legend follows Kela along this conflicting path, where as a young woman unsure of her ability and her confidence in facing the challenges before her to where she emerges as a strong leader who learns to lean upon her own strength, to stand not behind, but side by side with her warrior.

The Legend Continues...
Whispers of a Legend, Part Four-Time of the Nuxvenom!

TIME OF THE NUXVENOM

The Nuxvenom—the time declared by the Arachindaens for their ascension to power…the time of their rule…the time for the annihilation of all who do not submit to their authority. Over the years, the Sordarins have slept well secure in the knowledge that the Great One guards over them and protects them from this Nuxvenom. Now, though, our world has once more been targeted; Asmeodai’s evil looms on the horizon and fear lives in the hearts of the Sordarins for our very existence is threatened.


I, Kela Calledwdele, have been trained for one purpose—to protect my people from this evil threat of Asmeodai. I did not ask for this, but have embraced my destiny. The path before me has never been easy, nor do I expect my tribulations to lessen as I continue my journey, but I hold to this destiny for I hold to my faith in the Great One.

With the acknowledgement as King Edulf’s granddaughter, Kela is swept into a world strange to her. Moreover, Kela discovers the world she now walks harbors its own dangers. For not only does Kela face the looming threat of the evil Cyaika and Arachindaens, she is forced to confront deception and and betrayal from within her own ranks. Never have the stakes been greater—never has her world faced a greater danger—never has more been asked of the Euchoun. The time of the Nuxvenom is now!

FREE to download TODAY is Eckhart Tolle and Jesus: The Secret Path)  by A.J. Parr (Click here for UK Download) .  Why not grab a copy before it goes back to full price?




BOOK DESCRIPTION
THIS BOOK REVEALS the essence of the “Private Teachings” imparted by Jesus two thousand years ago, presented under the light of the teachings of Eckhart Tolle and the “hidden symbols” found in the four gospels.

To illustrate this Path, each of its thirty-three chapters of this book is followed by a biblical passage, olden legend, short story or excerpt from the works of the Masters of Mystic Literature, including by St. John of The Cross, Meister Eckhart, Rumi, Gibran Khalil Gibran, René Guenon, Dante Alighieri, Martin Luther, Mark Twain, Lew Wallace, Voltaire, Eliphas Levi, Edouard Shure, and Alan Watts, among others.

Our starting point will be one of the basic principles found in Eckhart Tolle´s “The Power of Now”: “In essence there is and always has been only one spiritual teaching, although it comes in many forms”. If this principle is true, then we must also accept as true that Jesus and Eckhart Tolle imparted the same basic spiritual teaching, although in different form.

Revealing the essence of this teaching, as taught by Jesus according to the ancient scriptures, is the object of these pages.

Now available as a BARGAIN BOOK is Trash Out: Dream wedding or nightmare ending? (Real Estate Diva Mystery) by Catharine Bramkamp (Click here for UK Download or Canadian Download) .  Why not download a copy today?







BOOK DESCRIPTION
Ah, a wedding in the wine country. But Allison's best friend Carrie’s grand event may end less like a romantic comedy and more like a slasher flick. Who is stalking the bride? How did Ben’s former Friend With Benefits turn into Injured With Repercussions? And why must Allison wear 90 pounds of red tulle during the hottest season of the year?
While innocent bystanders fall like flies, Allison copes with selling her own house, scrambling to finance the shower from hell, and wondering if the person responsible for the last murder can be hired to take out her ex-boyfriend before her own nuptials. 

In this fifth book in the Real Estate Diva Mystery series, we live the life of winemakers in the Sonoma County wine country. It’s no mystery how Allison manages to sell her house, but it is a mystery why former office rivals, Rosemary and Katherine work together to actually help a family squatting in foreclosed property. And Allison is so distracted by the bride’s very odd future sisters-in-law that she doesn’t focus enough on strange disappearances (even strange by Claim Jump standards) and suspicious people popping up, driving by and otherwise lurking around an increasingly vulnerable bride. If Carrie is being stalked by her parents, then why hasn’t Allison seen them? Is it someone else? And what is Patrick, Carrie’s fiancé not telling her? Can Allison discover the answers before its took late for Carrie? Let alone her?

This cozy mystery delivers both suspense and readability. The kindle book version has been revised but not updated; Allison is of her time and her time is in the middle of the worst real estate market since the 80s. But she carries on balancing the mystery with open houses, mayhem with sales.

A word from Allison: “I know that some people will look to the author and say, “Oh, is that YOU?” Of course I’m not her. I have twice the listings she does and better hair plus, I already own that orange Coach tote she craves but can’t afford. So I’m here to tell you, I am myself.”

Come and experience life with Allison Little, the biggest realtor in town. Check into the Look Inside feature and start right now!
