FROM THE EDITORS

I promised that we would get this newsletter on an actual schedule, and this is me pushing forward with that. Our subscriber base is not huge (yet) but that is probably attributable to my not getting it out there regularly. Please, share the newsletter, send it to those you believe might want to subscribe. There will be notes on releases in paperback, audio, and eBook, pre-orders, review copies, as well as some recommendations from the huge catalog of books we have already published.

Whenever possible, the links below are Universal, giving all of the possible options for eBooks. Our Audio is all through ACX and available on Audible, iTunes and Amazon, and our paperbacks are available on Amazon.

NEW RELEASES

DUALITY – by Roger Dale Trexler, a Detective Frank Powell Mystery. The Harlot was the most unpredictable serial killer he had ever come across. For The Harlot was both killer and victim in a compassionless society, and Frank Powell would come to understand that some monsters are not born but created. And he had to stop her before it was too late!

The Southern-Fried Horror Trilogy - (Kindle and KU Only) All three of the Southern-Fried collections from author Ronald Kelly in one eBook. Below the pale orb of a full moon, a lone boat navigates the dark channels of the Louisiana bayou, moving between ancient cypress and the heave mats of Spanish moss that dangle from their gnarled limbs. This box set contains a heap ‘o southern-fried horror. Who are the two who brave the swamp at night? One is a lanky Cajun man by the name of Pierre, while the other is his visiting cousin from Tennessee. The man folks call... THE OLD STORYTELLER.

COMPLETE SERIES RELEASES

This is something new for this week’s newsletter. We have released all three books in eBook format everywhere (It’s a universal series link) and in paperback on Amazon. These will (hopefully) soon be in audio as well. We have horror, urban fantasy, science-fiction, mystery, submarine thriller, young adult and just about every type of series you can imagine. We will feature one a week.

The Nemesis of the Gods Series – by Catherine Cavendish. Gothic horror at its finest. A mysterious house, ancient enemies at war, and a heroine whose fate is inextricably linked to all of it… 4.3 Stars on Amazon

RE-RELEASES – These include Universal book links to all available eBook markets

A Romantic Way To Die – Book 11 in the Sheriff Dan Rhodes Series by Bill Crider. When Vernell Lindsey, Clearview's newly published romance novelist, decides to hold a romance writer's convention, residents think this will finally get their town on the map. They are even more excited when they learn that former Clearview resident Terry Don Coslin will headline the event-Terry Don is now the most sought after male cover model for these very novels. Dan Rhodes doesn't understand why so many people are interested in writing, but this becomes the least of his concerns when a local aspiring novelist is found dead in her room at the college.

(The Sheriff Dan Rhodes novels by Bill Crider are in the midst of a rebirth, with new covers, audiobook and print to follow).

NEW PRE-ORDERS – including universal links to all pre-order outlets

The Raven’s Shadow – Michael P. Spradlin – This mashup of history, famous characters, and the fate of the nation is perfect for fans of books like “Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter”. Washington DC, 1824. A new president is about to be sworn in after a contentious election. Among the celebrants who descend upon the city, are three young men from different backgrounds, arriving there for different reasons. Unknown to them, an evil presence has also made its way to the capital. A presence that will one day be revealed to the world as a powerful and ancient evil. And he aims to destroy the young republic. His name is Count Dracula.

These three young men, Edgar Allan Poe, Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln must join together and stop the count before he wreaks havoc on the new nation.

NEW AUDIO

We have new audiobooks coming out all the time. This week we have The Winnowing by Gherbod Fleming – Trilogy of the Blood Curse – Book 2, narrated by a young Welshman named Dylan Thomas… Book three of this trilogy is in the works and due soon.

FREE AUDIOBOOK DOWNLOAD CODES FOR AUDIBLE

Here is our second list of books we are offering free download codes for.  We are trying to build reviews, and while we don’t require a review for a free download, even just a rating on Audible or Amazon can make a huge difference in visibility. Beneath the new books are those from last week, because all still have some codes available for US and UK listeners. We will offer them to the first five who request them, and only one title per requester.

This week’s titles are:

Calamity: Being an Account of Calamity Jane and Her Gunslinging Green Man - By J. D. Jordan. This is narrated by Naomi Rose-Mock, and it is a personal favorite. It’s one of the best sci-fi western books I’ve ever read, and easily the best audio.

Blood Kin by Ronald Kelly, performed by Gary Noon – Southern horror from a master, and narrated by one of the best new voices in audio.

Burning Bright by Melissa Scott – performed by Naomi Rose Mock – Sci-fi adventure and showing off the talents of an award-winning author and very versatile narrator.
