Blown by Nolon King

About Featured Book: Blown by Nolon King

She can pay with her life … or she can pay with her crimes.

Alison Tanner thought she was living her best life. Her husband’s seven-figure consulting business earned them entry into the country club crowd and paid for her gifted daughter’s tuition at the best private school in the area. She lives in a gorgeous house, drives an expensive car, and she could afford designer clothes, if she cared about fashion at all.

But when her husband, Tom, is killed in a gang-related shooting, it all comes crashing down. Tom’s consulting agency was just a front for his real business: keeping their wealthy neighbors supplied with cocaine, oxycontin, and every other illegal drug money can buy. Tom died owing the local drug lord a lot of money — and now Alison’s on the hook.

Worse, unscrupulous DEA Agent Banks wants her to be his informant in a sting operation and doesn’t care if she survives, as long as he gets his man.

Desperate to protect her daughter from both a vengeful mother-in-law who wants custody and a drug lord who wants her daughter to work off Tom’s debts in the streets, Alison agrees to go undercover, wearing a wire as she sells drugs to her snobby neighbors and learns more about the drug lord’s operation.

If she ever gets out of this, she vows she’ll take her daughter and disappear forever — but her chances of surviving are getting worse by the minute. Does she have a shot at ever living a normal life again, or is everything blown?

Blown is an intense new stand-alone crime thriller from Nolon King, author of Pretty Killer, 12, and the No Justice series. Fans of Ozark and Weeds will love Blown. Get your copy today.

Compulsion by Jennifer Chase

Compulsion by Jennifer Chase

When Serial Killers Terrorize a California Beach Community, One Woman Stands in Their Way

Emily Stone doesn’t have a badge. But that hasn’t stopped her from tracking down some of the West’s most dangerous child-killers. Armed with a digital camera, laptop computer and her trusty Beretta, Stone uses her innate gift for detective work to identify the perps — and then anonymously e-mail the evidence to the cops.

Now, the hunt for two brazen serial killers on the loose right in her own coastal California town threatens to expose Stone’s identity — unraveling her carefully constructed cover and jeopardizing her life’s work. But when she gets too close to the action, this razor-sharp hunter becomes the hunted. Cooperating with the handsome local police detective could be the only hope for stopping the rampage directed at unsuspecting young women — and saving herself. Can they piece together the clues in time? Compulsion mixes CSI-style investigation with a ripped-from-the-headlines plot and a dose of romance for a keeps-you-guessing, fast-paced and savvy thriller, right up until the shocking finale.

Veronica didn’t mean to fall for a married man but what’s done is done. A bitter, angry Laura is after her for taking her husband, but what Laura doesn’t know is Veronica is not as helpless as she seems.

Maya knew what she was getting into. Side chick – why not? It’ll be fun. Or so she thought. Now Maya is in love. Deeply! But her lover Tina will never give up her career, 2.5 kids and suburban life. But Maya’s love is strong. She’ll convince Tina. Eventually!

Brooke started at the bottom now she’s here. But “here” doesn’t do it for her. “Here” doesn’t scratch that itch. So she goes back to the “bottom” to get what she needs. And she never leaves unscathed. The “bottom” leaves marks. Bruises. Scars. And she wouldn’t have it any other way.

Life is great for Gloria! Money, beautiful home, healthy grandkids, a serial cheater for a husband. Ok, well maybe not so great. But you wouldn’t know it looking at her. Gloria is all about image, so she makes sure everything looks… Perfect. But that takes a toll. Holding it all in, makes her angry. And now, she just might have an outlet for all that anger.

Deepa doesn’t ask for much. Just a little #love and appreciation. Sadly, she never gets it. So she’s through asking. She’s going to find it on her own. Any way she can.

Jessica is a hustler. She works hard. Things are good, but her husband doesn’t think so. He thinks something is wrong with their relationship. He claims he loves her. But she can’t trust his love. She wants to… But how?

It’s not long before the terrifying scenario affects all the women present. Bold truths are spoken. Secrets long kept in the dark are dragged kicking and screaming into the light, and unexpected bonds formed. No one will be the same and maybe not everyone will survive to tell about it.

Silenced: Consent Of The Governed Book One by B.D. Lutz

Silenced: Consent Of The Governed Book One by B.D. Lutz

A new administration sweeps into power, promising unity, promising a fair and just society. They lied.

As the newly elected administration’s incompetence threatens to derail the aspirations of a powerful shadow government. A series of progressively more deadly events are exploited to chip away at the freedom of the American people.

They understand that to achieve complete control, they must answer one question: How do you control free people?
The answer is simple, and brutally effective: you control the flow of information, making yours the only truth. You silence dissenters, critical thinkers, and opponents of your truth. You use fear to limit their movement and destroy their livelihoods, rendering them dependent on their government. Then you wait… wait for them to willingly trade their freedom for safety.

They made one mistake; they underestimated Jack Stinger. Jack simply wanted to run his family business and live the American Dream. He and his wife, Lisa, worked hard to build the life they had. Jack struggles with the reality unfolding around him. He holds tight to the promise of America’s system of government even as that same government attempts to drown him in bureaucracy, break his will to fight, to silence him.

The question they forgot to ask: How far can you push a man before he fights back?

Silenced takes the reader on a hypothetical dive into the allure of power and the corruption it breeds. It explores the question: What happens when you eliminate the concept that government exists at the consent of the governed?
