Nightlord: Sunset by Garon Whited

Nightlord: Sunset by Garon Whited

Eric didn’t ask to be a vampire.
To be fair, there are lots of types of vampires–different species, if you like–and his particular type is called a “Nightlord.” But so what? Eric read all about various monsters, but he didn’t believe in any of them.
Then he meets a beautiful woman, wakes up with a hangover, and bites his tongue with his own fangs. That was pretty convincing. The bite, that is. She was more convincing, but until he bit his tongue, he wasn’t listening.

Eric clearly isn’t a typical vampire. He didn’t want to be one, and certainly not without reading the terms and conditions! At least his sense of humor seems up to the task of coping with his new circumstances–or he’s using it as a coping mechanism. Nobody’s sure just how sane an involuntary vampire can be.
So what does one do when shanghaied into being an undead? Is it better to laugh about it and get on with… uh… life? There’s a lot to learn, not the least of which is that these brand-new bloodthirsty urges and predatory instincts can be difficult.

Upside: Eric has the beautiful Sasha to teach him the ropes, including the magic he’ll need to survive.
Downside: it turns out being a vampire is the least of his problems.

Not only are people trying to kill him, but he’s got a whole world of magic and monsters who either want something from him–immortality, power, a little of his blood, his entire head, or maybe some small piece of his heart.

Eric finds himself dragged into an epic battle at the literal edge of the world, as one dark power set against both Darkness and Light to keep a precarious world in balance.

“When you fall off the Edge of the World into hordes of demonic ‘Things from the Outer Darkness,’ you really start to wonder about your life choices.”
–Eric, part-time undead, expectant father, and involuntary astronaut.

Haunted Echoes
A Mystic Dark Tale

Forbidden Love in the Depths of Darkness

Danika Klein shouldn’t exist, but that isn’t her fault. When a mistake leads to her abduction, a cursed human escapes her kidnappers to be rescued by a man who’s more ghostly warrior than his appearance first seems.

Rorik Skog Vættr is an exile, a draugr, sworn to a man doomed to remain part of the godless dark. After battling the torture of a tragic past, he claims a forest preserve as a sanctuary, and facilitates meetings between immortals of the Spirit Realm and those of the Leaindeail.

When Danika falls into Rorik’s life, the dream tilts, and he needs to help her. His own feelings of inadequacy and worthlessness block the romantic feelings between the two until her abductors come looking for her.

Nikolas by Jacob Jacobson

About Featured Book: Nikolas by Jacob Jacobson

The wolf came from out of nowhere, a gleaming white streak suddenly appeared through the people and ran at him with a forward springing leap. In half a breath, there was an angry wolf hitting Nikolas in the chest and bringing him down backward to land with it, snowy white and snarling, on top of him, staring down into his eyes, teeth bared in a lunge.
He stared back and tucked his chin as the wolf lunged and everyone reacted, pulling the furious beast off before it could cause more trouble and damage. Nikolas escaped with a couple of decent slits along his jaw, where he had the good sense to tuck, knowing where those teeth were going. Nikolas blinked up at the wolf and let out a cough.
“Hello Anastasia, how have you been?”

Thalondor Kingdom of Legends by Shane Lege

Thalondor Kingdom of Legends by Shane Lege

As Valaric emerged from his slumber on a sun-kissed shore, confusion gripped his senses. His mind was a jumble of fragmented memories, leaving him with no understanding of his current location or how he had come to be there. Unbeknownst to him, this disorienting awakening heralded the commencement of an extraordinary odyssey, one that would forever alter not only his own destiny but also the lives of the people dwelling in the enigmatic land he had unknowingly discovered.

Thalondor, a kingdom veiled in a shroud of secrecy, held the power to unravel a millennium-old secret that had shaped the lives of its inhabitants. Little did Valaric realize that he stood at the threshold of a revelation that would forever transform their destinies. Nestled within the heart of Thalondor, an ancient enchantment, like the grains of sand slipping through an hourglass, approached its culmination. For a thousand years, this sacred barrier had held the forces of darkness at bay, guarding the realm against their insidious grip. Yet now, as the enchanted sands dwindled, the looming threat of evil’s resurgence cast an ominous shadow over Thalondor’s future.

Self-Publishing Review rates this book at four stars and states; “Thalondor: Kingdom of Legends by Shane Lege, a classic clash of good and ultimate evil.”

Independent book review states: “Shane Lege’s Thalondor: Kingdom of Legends reminds fantasy readers why they love the genre. It’s time to take your imagination elsewhere with this great escape from reality.”

FALLING STARS

About FALLING STARS:

Nine-year-old Tommy Lucas needs a bone marrow transplant to survive. But he’s convinced his disease is a curse on his bloodline, that he’s a vampire. His mother’s an oncologist, but Tommy believes only magic can cure him—or the same synthetic blood substitute developed for urban legend Viscount Claudius Fallon.

Tommy is stoked when he discovers a five-part series about Fallon in an online pulp fiction magazine called Philly’s Argosy. Descended from a ruling class of vampires in Cardiff, legend has it that Fallon traveled to Eureka Springs, Arkansas seeking a cure for his own leukemia during WWII.

Tommy’s quest leads him to befriend local artist and gallery owner Callan Masters, who struggles with his growing affection for Tommy’s mom, June—for he is Fallon, cured in 1939 at the Norman G. Baker Cure-for-Cancer Hospital.

Dedicated to living off-grid, Callan must decide whether he will take the risk involved in helping Tommy or falling in love with June. His bite is no longer capable of turning anyone—or so he thinks.
