Castles: A Fictional Memoir of a Girl with Scissors by Benjamin X. Wretlind
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Genre Fiction, Horror, Dark Fantasy, Literary, Fiction, Literary Fiction
W hat would you do to build your castle in the sky?
When Maggie was six, she hid from desert storms under the sink where the Comet and Windex were kept. Now twenty, she welcomes the storms. Maggie has been abused, torn apart by the sins of others and constantly feels as if she is living on the verge of some grand epiphany perhaps passed down through her Grandmother, perhaps given to her by God.
Then again, she may just be insane.
Maggie doesn’t know if the four bodies she dismembered and placed inside a rusted Volkswagen Bus are the only bricks left to her castle in the sky, but she hopes you’ll understand if they’re not. Castles is Maggie’s story, a literary horror novel about love and redemption, belief and revenge and what brings a person to madness.

Grimm End by S T Cameron
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Genre Fiction, Horror, Science Fiction & Fantasy, Fantasy, Paranormal, Fiction
S ara Cross never knew that her great-grandfather was still alive until an evil creature sent by his enemies burns down their house and sends her family to seek refuge at his estate on the shores of Lake Superior in northern Minnesota.
Arriving in the small, isolated town of Shadow Bluffs in the valley below his estate, they find that they have stepped into a strange world filled with magic wielders, shape shifters, and the living dead. It is also home to the Moira Sisters, three dark wielders who want to use Sara and her family to steal from her great-grandfather a centuries-old chest containing a dangerous power.
Sara’s family, already fragile after the disappearance of her father several years earlier, is brought to the breaking point as Sara, trying her best to hold her family together, sees them torn apart one-by-one by the strange creatures that inhabit the dangerous town.
When Sara learns that she too has an ability to wield magic, will it be enough combined with the developing talents of her two brothers to fight back against the Sisters? Can she rebuild what is left of her family and keep them together and, more importantly, alive?
DREAMS FROM THE DEATH AGE (The Book of Baker) by AFN CLARKE
Genre(s): Humor & Entertainment, Humor, Political, Literature & Fiction
A comedy of cosmic proportions from a best-selling author with a dry, rascally sense of humor and a “nothing-is-sacred” attitude, DREAMS FROM THE DEATH AGE is the first book in the BOOK OF BAKER series. It’s a witty, irreverent, inspirational novel about how the choices we make today, inevitably determine our tomorrow.
It’s 2020 and Sean Baker writes a bestselling book – Dreams from the Death Age – based on the revelations of a mysterious manuscript from an ancient civilization. Its enlightened message resonates with such intensity that it could change the destiny of a planet poised on the brink of destruction. The question is, in which direction?
Sean’s overnight fame creates tens of thousands of cult-like followers who discuss “THE BOOK” in hushed whispers. But as with other prophetic and inspired works of the past, with blind adulation also comes the danger of misinterpretation and manipulation. Especially by campaign managers of desperate presidential candidates who’ll do anything to win an election. Or by misguided fanatics who impose their own brand of spirituality on unsuspecting souls. And that’s exactly what happens! With both hilarious and disastrous consequences!
Full of laugh-out-loud characters, hilarious twists and turns and blinding flashes of insight that only humor can bring, this funny, poignant book takes a satirical yet thought-provoking look at what life might be like in the not-so-distant future.
As Clarke says: “It’s humor that allows us to lighten up about serious subjects, chuckle at life’s absurdities and experience flashes of deep understanding. If you like a good laugh, have an open mind and are willing to look at life through different eyes, I think you’ll enjoy this book.”
DREAMS FROM THE DEATH AGE is the first book in the BOOK OF BAKER series followed by ARMAGEDDON (Part 2) now available on Amazon Kindle and GENESIS REVISITED (Part 3) to be published in 2013.
Book length 134,979 words. Adult readers only.
AFN Clarke is the author of numerous other works of fiction of various genre – thrillers, suspense, intrigue, drama – and the best selling author of “CONTACT”, his first work of non-fiction.

In Other Hands by Iain Grant
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Contemporary, Genre Fiction, Urban Life, Fiction, Contemporary Fiction
A rucksack is stolen. It is a simple and unremarkable theft but it will have far-reaching consequences for five disparate, yet equally marginalised, individuals.
The Victim – Karen is grieving over the loss of her little girl, Amy. The theft of a toy rabbit, the only keepsake Karen has of her little girl, leads her to take some drastic actions to retrieve it.
The Thief – Clarke is a failed businessman deeply in debt to the merciless loan shark Michaels and, having run out of friends to take pity on him, is facing life on the streets if he can’t change something in his own life to turn his fortunes around.
The Loan Shark’s Hired Muscle – Danny has recently served a year-long sentence for child pornography offences, and is struggling to cope with life outside. A social pariah, he seeks solace in the insular world of an on-line virtual reality game, i-Land.
The Therapist – Jane has been helping Karen through the grieving process for the last two years and is perhaps the only person who knows that the relationship Karen had with Amy was not a normal one. Jane, like Danny, spends much of her life in the virtual i-Land, an escape from the bone disease that is inexorably killing her.
The Scientist – Nadia has, with Karen’s help, been tracking the progress of a mysterious plague amongst the city’s urban fox population but finds she has more than work on her mind when MI5 agents appear on her doorstep investigating her family’s links to international terrorism.
In Other Hands is a story about people on the margins of society and the ties that bind us all together.

“Wow! Reads like a action film in reeling off in your head!” -By Joanna Daneman –Sub-Human Review
(VINE VOICE) (TOP 10 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
“A Better Read Than Many of the Big Names in the Genre.” -By Michael J. Crow –Sub-Human Review(VINE VOICE)
“Post-Human, a noteworthy sci-fi novel” -Examiner.com –Post-Human Review
“A thought-provoking, energetic sci-fi book, with a robust dose of high-octane exploits.” -A.F. Stewart, author of Chronicles of the Undead –Trans-Human Review
The series started in 2009 with Post-human, followed by it’s sequel, 2011′s Trans-Human, and then leading to the prequel, published in the summer of 2012, Sub-Human. The trilogy can be read in the order of publication or in the chronological order of the entire epic story. The ebook is ordered according to the narrative, but reading it in the order of publication is its own, rewarding experience. It’s all up to your preference.
Readers have taken to calling this the “Human Series,” and why not? It’s the story of humanity’s future, both the possible bliss, the possible torment, and all of the in between. It might expand your view of what “human” really means, it might make you consider the pleasures and pains of immortality, and reflect on the extraordinary benefits and profound danger of strong A.I. All of this delivered in an epic series, paced faster than most novels, with twists and turns around almost every page, and a set of characters with whom you’ll fall in love.

K ayla is a 16-year-old girl who was adopted when she was little. She lives a normal life, with great friends, loving adoptive parents, and well… a not-so-great boyfriend.

Unfortunately for Kayla, it was only a matter of time before she encountered the creatures from the Otherworld, and there is just no running away from the beings that she can now see.
In trying to protect Kayla by keeping her away from the Academy, she may have just been put in even more danger.
Bookworm by Christopher Nuttall
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Genre Fiction, Action & Adventure, Science Fiction & Fantasy, Fantasy, Fiction
E laine is an orphan girl who has grown up in a world where magical ability brings power. Her limited talent was enough to ensure a magical training but she’s very inexperienced and was lucky to get a position working in the Great Library. Now, the Grand Sorcerer – the most powerful magician of them all – is dying, although initially that makes little difference to Elaine; she certainly doesn’t have the power to compete for higher status in the Golden City. But all that changes when she triggers a magical trap and ends up with all the knowledge from the Great Library – including forbidden magic that no one is supposed to know – stuffed inside her head. This unwanted gift doesn’t give her greater power, but it does give her a better understanding of magic, allowing her to accomplish far more than ever before.
It’s also terribly dangerous. If the senior wizards find out what has happened to her, they will almost certainly have her killed. The knowledge locked away in the Great Library was meant to remain permanently sealed and letting it out could mean a repeat of the catastrophic Necromantic Wars of five hundred years earlier. Elaine is forced to struggle with the terrors and temptations represented by her newfound knowledge, all the while trying to stay out of sight of those she fears, embodied by the sinister Inquisitor Dread.
But a darkly powerful figure has been drawing up a plan to take the power of the Grand Sorcerer for himself; and Elaine, unknowingly, is vital to his scheme. Unless she can unlock the mysteries behind her new knowledge, divine the unfolding plan, and discover the truth about her own origins, there is no hope for those she loves, the Golden City or her entire world.
