Matoula’s Echo
Richard Romanus
Genre: Historical Fiction | Women’s Fiction | Action & Adventure
FREE for a limited time
In The Tradition Of Corelli’s Mandolin And Eleni Comes An Epic Historical Fiction Novel Set In Greece.By Richard Romanus, A Nominee For The Writers Guild Of America Award For Best Original Screenplay.
In the hardscrabble villages of northern Greece, strength is the only measure of a girl’s beauty. But Maria Christina is delicate, nearsighted, unmarried at 17 – already a spinster, in a town with few choices– and hopeless. She’s overshadowed by Matoula, the nimble, radiant older sister whom she loves but envies. Worse still, she smolders with shameful desire for handsome, worldly Yiannis, Matoula’s husband, a doctor from sophisticated Athens.
It’s the bitter winter of 1940, war just over the horizon, the Axis Powers massing to invade. All the able-bodied men have gone to defend the border. The women must supply their food and clothing, their bandages and bullets – on foot over mountain trails, by starlight, through deep snow. But only those deemed strong may help. Not Maria Christina. For her that’s just another humiliation.
Defiantly, she joins Matoula on a supply run. And then her worst nightmare comes true: it is strong, deserving Matoula who dies. Yiannis is left a widower, torn between commitment to the resistance, where his skills are desperately needed, and responsibility for Zoitsa, the young daughter Matsoula bore him.
War rages on – against the Italians, then the Germans, and then heartbreaking civil strife among the Greeks themselves. Conflict burns within Maria Christina and Yiannis, too. They are engulfed by passion, separated by duty to country, bonded by common loss and devoured by Maria Christina’s guilt at surviving her more beautiful, capable sister.
A vivid epic of calamity and longing, of modernity vanquishing tradition, Matoula’s Echo makes just one fragile promise of redemption in the form of Maria Christina’s new awakening.

Parcel (Emperium Series)
A. R. Quinn
Genre: Teen & Young Adult
FREE for a limited time
Imagine being frozen through the ages, blind and unaware of the world around you. Your friends and family are distant memories of a life you no longer remember. The present you knew has turned to history, and history has turned to myth.
Enter young Leo, a boy who’s centuries long slumber is disturbed when he’s kidnapped by men looking to make a profit. The awkward teen quickly catches the eye of a rich, eccentric, and silver haired woman, who happens to be the owner of one of the most ruthless gladiator schools in the city.
His new home seems like it’s been plucked from the pages of a twisted history book. Its blood soaked coliseum defies all logic, the sadistic emperor gives narcissism a whole new meaning, and there’s a peculiar pairing of ancient Roman culture with futuristic technology. Years pass as he slowly acclimates to the inner workings of the city, but he never quite fits in with the other slaves.
What is his true name, and where did he come from? Is he in the future or the past? Who is the beautiful girl in the marketplace with the soft green eyes? These are all questions he’s vowed to find the answers to, if he could just break free of his bonds. The only problem is, he’ll be killed if he leaves without permission, and there’s a massive wall surrounding the metropolis that ends in death for all those who try to climb it.
Fate, however, decides to lend a helping hand, and Leo’s life takes a dramatic turn after a horrific accident in his master’s gravity bay. Fighters who can handle its strain are rare, and his bones nearly crack when the gravity unexpectedly increases while he’s cleaning it. After the accident, his master realizes there’s more to him than meets the eye. She sets him on a path that could not only lead to the answers he seeks, but also change the fate of the entire city. The only question is, can he survive training while his body weighs over half a ton?
