For those readers interested in 'historical' fantasy, my medieval Scottish epic, THE BLACKGLOOM BOUNTY may be your cup o' tea. One Hollywood producer has already dubbed it, "BRAVEHEART meets THE LORD OF THE RINGS." Available in hardcover and most ereader formats. (First of a five book series.)

http://www.amazon.co.uk/THE-BLACKGLOO...

Birthed into a dark eighteenth century environment, The Wanderer begins to realise that something is very wrong with the world. Endeavouring to learn about his own horrific past, he stumbles upon the mystery of God, the secrets of the soul and the terrible fate awaiting the Earth itself.

Lynne cannot shake her feelings of dread; her dreams tell her she is making a terrible mistake, she must not marry Adam. But, how can she believe the dream? Lynne and Adam have shared their lives for three years now. She is certain she loves him. It is not that love, which her dream warns against. It doesn't matter that she loves this man she will soon marry. If she marries him, the voice in her dream says her soul mate will die. Her true love will perish. Soon, Lynne's world is transformed and becomes almost unrecognisable, except for the déjà vu. Time doesn't seem to mean much anymore, and things are not quite as they seem. As her world spins out of control, Lynne must sort out what's real and what isn't to fulfill her destiny.

Hiya! Check out the first book in my Tallenmere fantasy romance series, A Ranger's Tale

Once upon a time an elven noblewoman longed to leave her gilded cage. A half-breed former pirate wanted nothing more than to escape his guilty past. Easier said than done...

In the fantasy world of Tallenmere, the high elf, Caliphany Aranea, nearly a century old, has never been allowed to travel farther than a few miles out of the capital city of Leogard. Her father, Sirius, leads the Mage Academy, and after losing his only son, he expects Caliphany to take his place one day. The trouble is, she doesn't want to study magic and doubts she'll ever be as good a wizard as her father. She dreams of leaving Leogard to explore the world and strike out on her own--lofty goals for Sirius' daughter, who also happens to be King Leopold's niece.

When two brutes at Leogard Harbor attempt to kidnap her while she dreams of faraway lands, half-elf ship captain and ranger, Galadin Trudeaux, comes to her rescue. From their first chance encounter, to the finale, where Caliphany must decide where her heart truly lies, she and Galadin will face more adventure, more love, more heartache, than they ever thought possible. Through it all, they discover the power of forgiveness and of a love that stands the test of time.

"The difference between a Power and a God is mostly procedural. You worship a God. With a Power, you negotiate."-- Black Kath's Tally Book

When Marta's sorceress mother dies suddenly, it is the young and almost completely unprepared Marta who must assume the debt her mother owed to the Power called Amaet. The debt is bond service, and can only be repaid by a magician powerful enough to perform a Great Work. With her mother's own magical servants in revolt and opportunistic enemies coveting what little power she has, matters go from bad to worse. Armed only with her knowledge of the First Law and her mother's tally book, Marta would count herself lucky to survive, never mind contend face to face with a Power. Yet contend she must, and with one last parting gift from her mother and her own hidden strengths, she just might do what her mother could not. Provided, of course, she can stay alive.

Set five hundred years after the events in The Long Look, Black Kath's Daughter is the story of a different sort of magician in search of her own destiny, and the freedom her mother never had.

Hey people:

"On Dark Shores" is a dark fantasy series, along with a companion series of short stories called "Parallels"

On Dark Shores:
Bk1: The Lady
Trapped in fear and poverty after the death of her parents, the thief Nereia will go to desperate lengths to protect her beautiful younger sister from the brutality of Copeland the moneylender. No-one has dared to attempt escape before; the whole of Scarlock trembles in his grasp. Only Nereia’s cunning and some unlooked-for help give her hope....

In a country still recovering from war, events are stirring, and the little harbour-town will not remain obscure for long; but in Scarlock, right now, Mr Copeland is coming to call - and this time he's not taking no for an answer....

The Lady is available in ebook (various formats) and due out in paperback around New Year.

A Treespeaker is one with his forest, moving with its spirit, inseparably bound to it.

Terrifying visions warn Jakan that a visitor to his tribe is not who he claims to be. As the villagers fall under the spell of the stranger’s mind-bending sorcery, Jakan grows desperate to be rid of him. Events take a sinister turn when he accuses the stranger of sacrilege — and it is Jakan, not the outsider, who is expelled from the forest.

Join Jakan on his perilous journey across a blighted land as he searches for the secret that will save his people — and himself.

Treespeaker is suitable for all ages 12 and up.

Treespeaker is an intricately woven book that reads like an old oral history. It flows beautifully; with the story so deeply rooted in nature, the writing seemed to take on a life of its own and bloom in its own right. Sift Book Reviews

Hi fellow Goodreads readers and writers!

I have a paranormal/urban fantasy romance series you might be interested in. The protagonist is half-demon and has the ability to send evil souls to hell. There is a noble vampire, a bad boy demon, and a hot Alpha, along with a few other creatures. I have 4 books published in the series. Don't let the "erotic" wording on the cover fool you. In my opinion, my romance is no steamier than what's on the market (J. Frost, Keri Arthur, etc, for examples). In fact, some readers have complained because they expected erotic and didn't get it. (Sorry)

Blurbs and excerpts are on my website. First chapters are free reads on Amazon, Noble Romance, and All Romance Ebooks. I have some great reviews from the Paranormal Romance Guild and Romance Junkies. (listed on my website)

I have giveaways going on just about every week for my ebooks in the series. Dates and locations are on my website http://www.maryabshire.com

I tweet about them too @maryabshire http://www.twitter.com/maryabshire

Have a great day!

Hello all! I have two science fiction/fantasy novels of the series Guardians of the Word. I hope you'll enjoy.

Chosen

For everyone else in the world, getting stabbed in the heart means instant death. What it does for Dynan Telaerin is send him to hell.

In Chosen, the world is on the cusp of destruction, caught in a thousand year cycle of ever repeating time, trapped between the warring Gods and the demon, Belial, with one young hero chosen to save not just the world, but the Gods themselves.

He finds himself on a corpse-strewn hillside, uncertain if he's dead or alive, charged with saving the soul of his ancestor, the most powerful telepath to ever exist. Dynan has telepathic powers of his own, only he doesn’t know how to use them. With monsters and minions trying to eat his soul, the demon’s lair isn’t a place conducive to learning anything - except how to run and how to hide.

Can Dynan find his ancestor before the fabric of time is torn beyond repair? Will courage alone be enough to face the greatest evil to exist? Will he lose his soul to save everyone else?

The running starts, and doesn't stop to the end of this action packed adventure of a young man coming to terms with his life while he's barely a spirit, through horrors he thought existed only in dreams.

Chosen is the first book of a 7 book series, entitled The Guardians of the Word.


Where truth and lies mingle among friends and enemies alike.

Behind the veil that separates the living from the dead, awaits the teaming horde. Evil bides its time, probing for weakness. It slithers across the divide, searching for the weak, the insane, the criminal mind, and even the average citizen of Cobalt, commanding them. The order is to kill. The target...

Seventeen-year-old Dynan Telaerin's biggest challenge is keeping the woman he loves and the brother he adores from being in the same room at the same time. Liselle Tremault and Dain Telaerin despise one another, forcing Dynan to choose between them, but a murder plot against him abruptly trumps other concerns. Visions of the destruction of civilization follow, turning shadowy dreams into the possibility of terrible reality. The lines blur between what is evil and what is good as one seeks to destroy him and the other seeks to delay his future. The methods each side employs to attain their goals are remarkably similar, leaving Dynan in a desperate race for his life.

MYTH, the second book of the Guardians of the Word fantasy series considers the complications of truth and intention, where one may not be conducive to the other and where some evil is necessary to negate others.

This Brilliant Darkness

From Amazon reviewers:

This is labeled as a dark fantasy. As such you would expect it to be dripping with imagery and poetic devices - and it is. There is horrific cleverness in the plot and in the characterization. You will find no better use of language and symbolism throughout the prose. It is well done. In addition to the dark fantasy, there's a flip side to the coin which is that this could also be labeled Sci-fi. There are aliens, a new star, physicists, and "end-of-the-world" fanatics. All of this is done artfully well and is believable.

The quick, snappy dialogue moves the story fabulously, and with the many change of POV's (each chapter), the story kept building in momentum into a tangled web of darkness, mystery, and paranormal terror. The fast pace was refreshing and I kept on reading, wondering what was going to happen to Christine and how all the characters twined into the bigger picture.

Hello to everyone and thank you for this opportunity! I'm sharing with you THE LOST, the first book in the new paranormal romance SIN HUNTER series from Grand Central Publishing.

4 Stars RT Book Reviews: “Pineiro’s new series will excite readers, new and old…red-hot writing…will have readers counting the days until the second Sin Hunters book is released.”

Just a quick teaser for you:

Adam Bruno is no ordinary millionaire. The heir to an ancient race possessing a dark, powerful magic, he can shapeshift and create energy. His gifts make him a living weapon and have forced him to live in seclusion. But now an inhuman force hunts down Adam-just when he finds someone who makes him feel more human than he ever imagined possible . . .

Home from combat in Iraq, Bobbie Carerra wants only peace, yet soon joins Adam in a terrifying battle against paranormal enemies who hide in plain sight. She’s drawn to his strength of mind and body; he’s attracted to her courage and intoxicating energy. Their scorching passion can either transport them to the heights of ecstasy or-if Adam’s powers rage out of control-destroy them. But when an invisible brotherhood tightens its nets and someone Adam trusts betrays him, only a heartrending decision can save them.

SOUL PROTECTOR

Soul Protector is a fast-paced fantasy/romance that will keep you hooked from start to finish.

After being dragged on a night out, Gracie discovers an unusual talent; one that makes her doubt her sanity. While trying to make sense of what she’s discovered, she gets abducted by Dan, a Soul Protector monitor. Dan explains the rules of this new-found ‘gift’ and encourages Gracie to embrace it. But a secret from the past is waiting to throw her world into chaos once more.

Hello all! I would like to share with you my paranormal romance, Forever Freed, a dual finalist in the Golden Leaf Contest for Best Paranormal Romance and Best First Book!

Here's the description:
A heart can break, even one that no longer beats.

I stalk my new neighbors, a single mother and her child, drawn by the irresistible scent of their joy and love. I crave their blood, starved for some healing respite from my ancient grief. Now to lure them into my grasp.

But they surprise me. Little Olivia accepts me without fear or reservation--talking, smiling, offering innocent affection that tugs at my long-lost humanity. Her mother, Samantha, seeks me out when she should stay away, offering sweet friendship, and calling to the forgotten man within me. They lure me instead.

Ah, Dio, Lucien, run and spare them while you can...

Thanks! And happy reading!

"She could feel the connection between them. It wasn’t as intense as what she felt for the guy from her dream, but there was something unexplainable between her and Cooper Donovan. This kind of feeling didn’t just happen everyday. She met plenty of new people since moving and none of them made her feel this way. There was a quiet spark of recognition that burned inside her. It was as if she already knew him on some level, but that didn’t make any sense to her." - In Dreams

Hello and thanks for this opportunity! I hope you'll check out my fantasy novel, Thief of Hope, which was recently named an EPIC ebook award finalist in fantasy.

Sydney, a street urchin and pickpocket in the town of Last Hope, has managed to evade the oppressive Guild for years, but there is no escaping fate when she's sentenced to death for associating with the resistance. After she's rescued by a wizard, Sydney is forced to accept that magic--long outlawed throughout the Kingdom of Thanumor--still exists, and the Tuatha, a powerful faery folk, are much more than ancient myth and legend. When the wizard offers a chance to fight the Guild and bring Willem, bastard prince and champion of the Tuatha, to the throne, Sydney embraces the cause as a way to find her own redemption. But Sydney's fear of the Guild, distrust of authority, and surprising connection to the Tuatha threaten Willem's success. Can she untangle the strange threads that entwine her life not only to the fate of the kingdom, but also to Willem himself?

Hi all, SNOW WHITE AND THE ALIEN is a YA fantasy romance with 3 five-star reviews so far on Amazon.



Snow White and the Alien

Rude. Opinionated. Dirty. Bug crazy.

That's how folks describe 16-year-old Snow White, who is more interested in studying insects than her own beautiful, anemic face. When her bipolar stepmother sets a price on her heart, which she'd like served with baby potatoes and Chianti, Snow White has no choice. She must outwit every studly huntsman, assassin, city guard and robber baron sent to bring her back, preferably dead, before she reaches Lapland.

20-year-old Aein is a one-winged cripple from another planet. Passionate, ridiculed, headstrong, and considered hideous in his gossamer, aerial world, he desires nothing more than to prove to his royal family that flight and beauty are overrated. He gets his one chance when he is selected to go to Earth, disguised as a 'Crawler' - who appears to us as a phenomenally handsome human youth. His mission: to pave our world for colonization and, later . . . annihilation.

The first native he stumbles upon is the fugitive Snow White.

Snow White and Aein must choose their allegiances, and fight a forbidden, growing love for each other before their worlds explosively collide.

.Merkabah Rider: Tales Of A High Planes Drifter (Book #1 of a four book series)

A Hasidic gunslinger tracks the renegade master who betrayed his ancient mystic Jewish order of astral travelers across the demon haunted Old West of 1879 in this acclaimed weird western from Damnation Books.

The book is set up like the old Zebra pulp paperbacks, with four sequential novella 'episodes.'

In a town hungry for blood, the Rider encounters a cult of Molech worshippers bent on human sacrifice('The Blood Libel'). A murderous, possessed ex-Confederate sharpshooter descends upon a mountain town, and only the Rider stands in his way ('Hell's Hired Gun'). A powerful ju ju man with powers rivalling the Rider's own holds a fledgling Mexican border town in his sway ('The Dust Devils'). Finally the Rider faces the Queen of Demons and a bordello full of antedelluvian succubi ('The Nightjar Women').

A murder mystery set in a school for wizards.

Be frightened! Be very frightened! Tiny, dragon-like creatures hiding in our homes are going to harm us. They will shrink us to the size of ants, enslave us, and turn our world into their own. But there is hope. Legions of insect robots intent on stopping them have recruited high school sophomore Dan Larson for help. Thrust into danger, Dan risks everything in a desperate attempt to thwart an attack and prevent the end of society as we know it.

A Clear and Feathered Danger-
In the technological dystopia of New Delta, the Avian Syndicate, a criminal empire made up entirely of large purple birds, wants the one thing they can't steal. To get it, they recruit an abused goblin shaman, cast out from her people; with her help, they devise a daring plan that no one sees coming.

Standing in their way is Alfonso Deegan, a grizzled but happily married private detective, and his three associates: Quintanelle Fillion, a young elven mage far from home trying to overcome her racist upbringing; Mordridakon, a red dragon with few social skills and an endless appetite; And Trogg the Genius, the world's smartest ogre.

Together the detectives must work quickly to defuse the situation before the Syndicate destroys New Delta, or long standing prejudices do it for them.

What Lies Within-
New Deltan megacorp Biogenomics sends Alfonso Deegan, Quintanelle Fillion, Trogg the Genius and Eluna across Hominia to a remote city-state called the City of Sands to expose a dangerous blackmailer. Meanwhile, Mordridakon must stay behind to solve a related murder of a private detective.

But when it very quickly becomes clear who the real villain ultimately is, they all turn their focus to stopping Biogenomics. But taking on Biogenomics isn’t like taking on the Avian Syndicate. A megacorp has the political means to stop the detectives without resorting to destruction.

And if those avenues fail, they can really get nasty in order to prevent their horrifying secrets from being revealed…

The Impending Darkness-
The Cromag Underground is in chaos. The Krung, a gang of violent goblins from New Delta have taken over a valuable ore mine, and stabbed its owner, Mitch Harkin. The monarchs of the twin cities of Brocenback and Alkhan are facing constant death threats from various angry factions over their plan to unite the cities under one throne. Worst of all, the Armagdan Acolytes, the followers of the forbidden deity of destruction and disorder, have resurfaced after a thousand years.

Worst of all, the Armagdan Acolytes, the followers of the forbidden deity of destruction and disorder, have resurfaced after a thousand years. The mind controlled legion now led by a twisted shaman named Qub, they seek nothing less than the destruction of the entire world.

Standing in their way are the K23 Detectives. Called to the Underground to deal with the Krung and the death threats, they quickly find the Acolytes can become more powerful the worse situation deteriorates. Forming an uneasy alliance with Mitch Harkin, they must work quickly to find Qub and stop him before the Acolytes can launch a devastating attack on the cities.

But among the giant steam machines, clockwork automatons and twisting tunnels, the detectives find themselves out matched by an enemy with powers unforeseen. This time, not all of them will survive…

They are not alone, however. Joining them are:
The Cybernetic Dragon
The Hidden Chasm

Thanks.
