Genre: Historical Fiction | World Literature
FREE for a limited time
Romance, scandal, and tragedy grip the lives of two families and threaten to destroy them both in Ravenscraig
Nothing is more important to Rupert J. Willows than the image he has built to hide the deep secret of his true identity. A master manipulator, the ruthless and charismatic Rupert buys his way into the upper class when he purchases the opulent mansion, Ravenscraig Hall. It is the turn of the 20th century in one of the fastest growing cities in North America. True power is within Rupert’s grasp as long as his secret stays buried.
Malka Zigman is a survivor. Orphaned in London, she sails to Canada to join her Uncle Zev and his family. With family resources stretched thin, Malka takes a risk. Armed with an English accent that belies her Jewish roots, she reinvents herself as Maisie Rosedale to gain entrance to the exclusive world of “the English” as the new maid at Ravenscraig Hall.
Pitching rich against poor in a brawling, raucous frontier city in the early 1900s, Ravenscraig brings to life the daily challenges of the booming population. Love, anger and the determination to succeed at all costs, fuel the treacherous journey ahead.

The Feedstore Chronicles
by Travis Erwin
(21 Reviews)
Genre: Humor
FREE for a limited time
Welcome to Pearl’s Feed and Seed. Most coming-of-age stories are fraught with symbolism, hidden metaphors, and a heaping mound of other literary devices. Not this one. Not mine. You see, I came of age while working at a dusty Texas feedstore. A place where To Kill a Mockingbird involved a twelve-year-old and a BB gun. Of Mice and Men was a problem easily solved with rat poison. And David Copperfield was nothing more than a dude that made shit disappear. In the spring of 1989, I went to work at Pearl’s Feed and Seed for a man named Doyle Suggs. On the surface Doyle and I had little in common: I was a rosy-cheeked boy of sixteen; he was a twice-divorced, thirty-year-old high school dropout. I had yet to go on my first date; he was trading sex for horse feed in the back room. Sure, Doyle was a lout, a liar, and a lecherous derelict. To this day, he remains the most morally bankrupt man I’ve ever met, yet my life wouldn’t be half as blessed, had I missed out on his misguided education. The Feedstore Chronicles is a mostly true account of those days and when murderous ex-wives, well-hung bulldogs, and feed room fornication were all part of a normal day at Pearl’s.

Do people prove their self-worth by strength, or by character?
A Romany leader confronts the English heritage he has denied when he lands, beaten and powerless, in the path of a high-spirited young widow.

She struggles with her faith, trying to understand why God is not following the plan she had for her life, to be loved and cherished by her husband. After her husband’s unexpected death, her grown stepson charges her with her late husband’s murder.
Luca Boldor, more Gypsy than English, is determined to prove that he is strong and capable and doesn’t need anyone. But once he is forced to depend on Lady Patience Blakwell, a woman who represents all he loathes, he must decide whether he should turn away when she needs him, or risk his most vulnerable, forgiving self to keep her safe.

A mysterious stone… Twenty-year-old Michael Black’s parents are dead; killed in a horrifying car crash that may not have been an accident. They leave him a rather simple looking stone, a “trace” that unleashes a previously unknown ability in him.
An unknown power… The power enables him to bridge into another’s mind and control not only their thoughts, but also their actions.
THE SOMNIBUS… When Michael unwittingly bridges to his dead mother, he is attacked by the Somnibus; guardian wraiths from a shadowy world filled with stench and decay.
But the Somnibus aren’t Michael’s only concern. The ability to bridge also reveals an even greater power trapped within the trace. An ability coveted by the people responsible for the death of his parents. They want the trace, and will stop at nothing to get it.
With the Somnibus and his parents’ killers closing in, Michael must keep the stone from falling into the wrong hands. Michael must distinguish fact from fiction, forcing him to make deadly decisions; choices that may cost him his life…and maybe his soul.

The Hordes of Shashka (The Last Age)
by Kevin Middleton
(7 Reviews)
Genre: Fantasy
FREE for a limited time
The Quest Continues
Months have passed since, “The Battle of the GateHouse,” and the company now finds itself where none have gone before. Happenstance and circumstance have forced the adventurers deep into the thickets of the Elvin people, and put them on a course which will bring them ultimately to a, “face to face,” with their archrival Vahn, the shadowy ecclesiastic of Shashka, for he has survived his induction of fire and even now presses to resuscitate his fallen deity.
Bella and Da-Xia are back, along with their new friends Bernlad De Hautdesert and Ushas. It’s a madcap sprint between Vahn’s sycophants and the companionship in a struggle to retrieve the Dark God’s lost treasures. The golden orb has been won; nevertheless the challenge to locate the scepter has just begun. The enchanter, Eric Darkholme, counseled once that should even one piece of Shashka’s treasures fall into the hands of his adherent’s, creation itself might be undone, a disconsolate and calamitous warning indeed.
Black days are a brewing; evil walks amongst the people and only the foolish saunter the streets at night. Be that as it may through a world of chaos our friends must press, each step taking them farther from all they’ve known, but the final days of, “The Last Age,” are at hand and every now and then heroes aren’t born, but rather forged by the hammer that is need.
“The Hordes of Shashka: Book Two of the Last Age,” continues the quest of our companionship for they’re the offspring of destiny, and providence itself is leading them far from their homes, sweeping them irrevocably toward a distant mountain, and a earth-shattering confrontation with the gods themselves.

EGYPT AND THE TURNCOAT SENATOR (The Egypt Rosen Chronicles #1)
by Pete Palamountain
(6 Reviews)
Genre: Mystery & Thrillers
FREE for a limited time
Egypt Rosen is confronted with the biggest mystery of her career.
Why did someone whack U.S. Senator Zachary Taylor Martin over the head with the bronze gavel presented to him by the opposition party for giving the keynote address at their convention? Was it political revenge, or did the senator’s profligate sex life lead to his death? Was his wife involved? Did her own illicit affairs play a part in her husband’s murder? His tolerance for sexual misbehavior was endless when it came to himself, but severely limited when applied to his wife.
Egypt’s optimistic Jewish father named her for a Muslim country because she was born on the first day of the Begin/Sadat talks at Camp David, Maryland. She has a sister named Persia and a sister named China, an ex-husband with a trophy wife, and a Vietnamese pal who runs the Orange Julius bar beneath her office. She’s tenacious, playful, and dedicated to her job and to her personal code.
