Book Description:

When a religious sect settles north of Fort Dougan in an abandoned city called Ruin, it doesn’t take long for stories to spread that something’s not right about the place. Charismatic preacher Thaddeus Blackwell has promised his flock a better life, unsullied by the decadence of Scraper society and the immorality of life on the border. With an army of cured Reapers under his command, Blackwell is determined to build a godly society…even if he has to use ungodly means to do it.

Working the ranch with the horses she loves, Ellie hasn’t paid much attention to the rumors about Ruin until her sister is charged with Blackwell’s murder. Ellie drops everything to ride to Lu’s aid, only to find that her sister has fled town with a Ranger hot on her trail and Thaddeus’s son, Mordecai, out for her blood.

Ranger Garrett Landry believes Lu is the key to getting his family out of Ruin alive, and he needs to find her before Mordecai gets to her first. Reluctantly accepting Ellie as his partner in the search, Garrett doesn’t expect to fall in love with the brave but in over her head rancher. And he never imagines that Ellie might be the one to save him instead.

Regular Price: $4.99

Click Here to Buy!

Book Description:

XGeneration is a teen paranormal thriller series inspired by classic superhero comics and the 1980s. This 900-page boxed set contains the first three books: You Don’t Know Me, The Watchers, and Silent Generation.

Book 1: You Don’t Know Me

In the fall of 1984, Cold War tensions between Washington and Moscow are close to breaking.

But in sleepy Gainesville, Florida, fourteen-year-old Janis Graystone is mainly worried about starting high school, earning a spot on the varsity soccer team, and keeping her older sister from running her life.

And then there are her paranormal experiences. Experiences where she awakens in her backyard — out of her body — with the disturbing sense that someone is watching her.

For Scott Spruel, the start of high school means the chance to start over. And he’s willing to ditch everything — computer hacking, Dungeons & Dragons marathons, even his comic book collection (well, except for his X-Men) — if it means getting closer to Janis, the secret love of his life.

But what about the eavesdropper on his telephone line, a presence he senses through powers he is only beginning to understand?

As clocks tick down, Janis and Scott will need the other’s help. But first they’ll have to find one another and that means traversing Thirteenth Street High’s caste system — a system that can be as brutal as it is unforgiving.

Book 2: The Watchers

Being a telepath is no picnic, something Janis is learning firsthand. In the wake of a brutal attack and new warnings of a group with dark designs on her powers, Janis finds herself withdrawing from those closest to her, even the friend she’s falling for.

Scott senses Janis’s growing distance, and he’ll do anything to help her. That’s what friends are for, right? But will using his supernatural abilities only cement his deadly fate — the one Janis is trying to protect him from?

Bad boy Tyler Bast has a secret. A few of them, actually. But what if someone else knows What Happened? The answer could destroy him. After all, some deeds are best left buried.

As menaces converge and choices dwindle, Janis, Scott, and Tyler must decide: hide their powers or risk everything to confront … the Watchers.

Book 3: Silent Generation

It’s decision time for the teens of Oakwood: join the Champions and develop their supernatural abilities or be expelled from the neighborhood — and each other’s lives — forever.

For Janis, there are no clear answers. It doesn’t help that she and Scott disagree over the Program’s intentions. Janis just wants to know what happened to the last team. Is that so crazy? And why does Director Kilmer seem determined to keep that information a mystery?

Flashback to 1961 Washington, D.C., where shapeshifter Reginald Perry is struggling with his own questions. Namely, who’s assassinating his fellow Champions? His quest will carry him deep inside the nation’s power centers, but can he resurface before becoming a target himself? Or has someone already marked the last Champion from that era for death?

Past, present, and the pervasive peril of nuclear war merge in this explosive installment.

Ace FBI Agent Sidney Braman slams against the most challenging case of his career: a bloodless body discovered in a burning house in rural northwest Pennsylvania. But what happened to the victim’s blood? And the evidence points to dozens of mysterious, blood-emptying deaths occurring there.

Is a modern-day vampire is on the loose?

Sidney is a confirmed rationalist, the last person in the world to be drawn in by a nonsensical legend. But as the bloodless corpses pile up, and every clue points to an answer impossible to accept rationally, Agent Braman begins to question his own disbelief. More alarmingly—more eerily—buried in the mysterious murderer’s digital trail, he discovers the FBI’s unsolved secret file detailing his own wife’s decade-old brutal murder. Is there a link? Could there be? Sidney will risk his very life in finding out.

Steven M. Greenberg, author of Adam’s Will, Incantation (IPPY Finalist for Fiction, 2004), and Flocking, brings his medical and scientific background to bear in explaining a persistent legend that has no basis in fact…. Or maybe, just possibly, it does.

But these cities aren’t dictatorships. An election is scheduled to choose a leader for this last exodus of humanity. With twenty-four hours until voting is due to begin, two workers are murdered.

“When Laurence started calling himself Larry,” Olivia muses on her way to the Park Avenue residence she recently shared with her husband, “that should have been my first clue.” The effervescent, blonde mother of two vows, however, to not be undone. Looking forward to a future unweighted with crystal chandeliers and cupboards of china, she tags heirlooms and mementoes, then goes to finish packing her personal things—only to find the new wife’s clothes in her closet, hers rudely tossed aside. Olivia sees red—and not just the red of those slinky dresses. She heads for her ex’s supposedly secret safe. A friend once gave her a set of lock picks during a time of need, which just happen to be in her purse.

Soon open, the safe reveals a staggering amount of cash, bearer bonds and other certificates that Olivia doesn’t have time to assess. By the armload, she transfers everything to her antique Pennsylvania chest.A frisson of fear runs through her.The man she thought she knew so well had secrets—at least one very big secret. Where did this money come from? Why was he hiding it? Then, with a sudden chill, as the movers were carrying the chest away, she wonders: “And what is he capable of doing to get it back?”

About THE ACCIDENTAL MURDERS SERIES:

Neither the slings and arrows of their own misfortunes, nor the outrageous ones they aim at others can permanently damage the friendship among Olivia, Mags and Janine. The three are always in the right place at the wrong time when mayhem and murders happen and back each other up—in their own fashion.

About the Author:

I think I might be able to grab and hold your attention here if I set myself on fire.

That’s probably the only way, though, and since I’m neither that desperate for you to find out about my life nor that mentally unstable, I think I’ll pass.

In truth, my life isn’t really all that interesting. Which is OK because you buy my books to find out about my characters, not me. And my characters are interesting on steroids.

He sees a brilliant flash of light from an oil tanker and changes course to help, only to discover there was no explosion and no one onboard, even though all the lifeboats are still secured to the railings.

The next morning, the crew is found frozen on a mountain hundreds of miles inland. Even more unsettling, the tanker left Valdez, Alaska with a full load of heavy crude, but the oil has mysteriously vanished without a trace. He learns the same thing just happened to another tanker in Houston, Texas, and the oil in storage tanks of refineries along the west coast begins to vanish. Panic grips the nation when the lack of fuel keeps basic necessities from reaching the inner cities.

When he begins the investigation, his only clue is a dollar size crystal found in the hold of the empty tanker, which appears to be alive. The investigation leads him to the remnants of a spaceship at Area 51, and a descendent of the first humans to occupy this planet, 180 million years ago. He has no idea what he is about to discover will change the fate of civilization forever.

Can Alex and his friends find a solution for this dire situation?

Hi, I’m Zara…warrior princess. I don’t usually tell that last bit to strangers, but I say it in my head all the time. It’s one of the many mantras that have helped me to get to where I am today. And believe me when I say that I’ve come a long way.

Besides, if you’re a woman and you happen to have ever struggled with issues of self-esteem, we’re probably gonna be fast friends anyway, so I won’t hold anything (much) back.

Oh, and Zara wasn’t the name I was born with—but you’ll find out more about that in the book.

I don’t know about you, but my own struggle with my weight has held me back a bit in life. And my self-esteem took a real nose dive after my fiancé dumped me—via text, no less. (I know, right? Jerk!…but I don’t usually dwell on things in the past, so let’s just move right along from that, shall we?)

So, I’m still a work-in-progress for sure, but I’m really starting to figure it all out—how to be more of who I’m meant to be every day—including the bumps, the lumps, and my bruised ego along the way.

Oh and I love my sisterhood (more about that later) – the women who join me in believing that we are all capable of being strong, amazing, warrior princesses—just the way we are right now.
