The Bite on the Line (Bytarend Book 1)by Simon Cantan

Clinging to the bar running along the front of the platform, Sergeant Osric has a lot of time to think about how he got there. About how he’s shooting through a forest on a rocket powered railcar. About how a grinning thief is clinging to the same bar beside him. Most of all, though, about how he’s heading for Bytarend; a town no-one has heard from in almost a hundred years. There has to be a reasonable explanation for their silence, after all. Osric tries to think of a reason that doesn’t end in his horrible death…

… he can’t come up with one.

The Bite on the Line is the first book in the Bytarend series. Fast-paced fantasy with plenty of humour along the way.

Country Darkby Chris Offutt

“A smart, rich country noir” from the acclaimed author Kentucky Straight and The Good Brother (Stewart O’Nan, bestselling author of Henry, Himself).

Chris Offutt is an outstanding literary talent, whose work has been called “lean and brilliant” (The New York Times Book Review) and compared by reviewers to Tobias Wolff, Ernest Hemingway, and Raymond Carver. He’s been awarded the Whiting Writers Award for Fiction/Nonfiction and the American Academy of Arts and Letters Fiction Award, among numerous other honors. His first work of fiction in nearly two decades, Country Dark is a taut, compelling novel set in rural Kentucky from the Korean War to 1970.

Tucker, a young veteran, returns from war to work for a bootlegger. He falls in love and starts a family, and while the Tuckers don’t have much, they have the love of their home and each other. But when his family is threatened, Tucker is pushed into violence, which changes everything. The story of people living off the land and by their wits in a backwoods Kentucky world of shine-runners and laborers whose social codes are every bit as nuanced as the British aristocracy, Country Dark is a novel that blends the best of Larry Brown and James M. Cain, with a noose tightening evermore around a man who just wants to protect those he loves. It reintroduces the vital and absolutely distinct voice of Chris Offutt, a voice we’ve been missing for years.

“[A] fine homage to a pocket of the country that’s as beautiful as it is prone to tragedy.”–The Wall Street Journal

“A pleasure all around.”–Daniel Woodrell, author of Winter’s Bone

Rich Fake Witchby Weston Parker

The King of Halloween needs a fake date and this girl needs to be a true witch.

He’s got a killer reputation, social status, unfathomable wealth, fast cars, and all the women he wants.

Hell, he even has a video game character made in his likeness. Brother…

But, he’s willing to pay the big bucks for my high-end escort services.

If the boy needs a monster to prance around his annual Halloween Crawl of Horrors experience, then I’m his ghoul.

The only real problem is that I’m terrified of things that go bump in the night.

Halloween is NOT my holiday.

But, I can swallow my fear for a month and play Barbie to his Ken.

The main thing to keep in mind is that the man is a client. None of this is real.

Not the wealth, the heat, the steamy moments where I want to give up all of my candies and stop being a trick… all fake.

And he is completely off limits.

The fact that he keeps making me feel so safe in the swirls of horror around us isn’t helping anything.

He might be looking for a rich fake witch, but I’m starting to feel forever.

Maybe I’ll just put a spell on him. ‘Cause then he’s mine… right?

Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~ Weston

The Dark Conquerorby Kathryn Le Veque

Titan Medieval Houses go head to head in this sweeping and poignant Medieval Romance!

When the House of de Lohr (Rise of the Defender) and the House of de Velt (The Dark Lord) come together through their children, anything can happen – and anything does!

Cassian de Velt came to foster with Christopher de Lohr at a young age. From nearly the first day he arrived at Lioncross Abbey Castle, his gaze was drawn to Brielle de Lohr, Christopher’s second eldest daughter. As children, they shared a friendship that was strong and innocent – enjoying the same things, having the same sense of humor. All of the things that made a strong friendship develop into a love that could not be broken.

Unfortunately, they were only teenagers when Cassian asked Brielle to run away with him so they could be married. That lapse in judgement brought the wrath of Brielle’s father and Cassian was banished. Ashamed and angered, Cassian refused to return home to his family, instead, finding a lucrative position with the elderly Earl of Colchester. When the earl suffers a reversal of fortune at the hands of the king, Cassian is out of a job.

He finds his calling – and his fortune – on the tournament circuit as the knight known as The Dark Conqueror.

Cassian always hoped to build his fortune, and his reputation, and return for Brielle. That has been his one goal. Ten years later, he returns for her, rich and powerful. Brielle is thrilled to see him again, for in all those years, she never married. She refused to entertain suitors. But Cassian returns with a secret, something he won’t speak of, something Brielle only becomes aware of through his odd behavior. When Brielle’s sister, a former spy for William Marshal, begins to probe, an astonishing story begins to emerge. What was thought to be a secret is really, in truth, a duty.

To another woman.

Will Cassian’s duty to one woman be enough to prevent the marriage to the only woman he’s ever loved?

The Dark Conqueror is part of the Battlelords of de Velt series:

A Love Attempt : Your Practical Guide to Loveby Morhaf Al Achkar

Developing your emotional intelligence? Learn simple and practical techniques to cultivate your love competence…

◆ Everyone wants love. We’re so desperate for it that we are frequently willing to take any deformed shape of it. But what if we can bring in the idea in a developed and genuine form to make it available to every person?

Morhaf Al Achkar obtained his Ph.D in education and is currently a practicing family physician at the University of Washington. He was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. Since then, his research has focused on the experience of patients living with cancers. His first book is based on interviews he did with 39 patients who live, like him, with advanced illness. He explored how these patients find meaning, cope, and build resilience. Using his deep understanding of philosophical concepts, Morhaf shares his understanding of love from the perspective of someone aware of his finitude.

◆ By following his easy-to-apply practical exercises, Morhaf invites you on a journey of dialogue and reflection to improve your Empathic Abilities.

Inside A Love Attempt, you’ll learn:

• The Pragmatics of Love
• How to Love by recognizing and capturing the opportunity.
• How to reconstruct what is being and learn about context and biography to communicate with love
• How to become oriented to understanding and agreement to act communicatively with Love
• How to develop a strategy to reinforce and abstract some learning about yourself to Become Authentic with Love
• And much, much more!

◆ A Love Attempt™ is the third book in Dr. Alachkar’s self-help series. The first was on Resilience and Meaning. The second, his memoir, was released only six months before the first draft of this project. In Being Authentic, he wrote ideas about love but did not develop them sufficiently. So he is completing that project here◆

◆ Dr. Alachkar’s elegant but transparent manuscript is packed with thought-provoking insights and concrete action steps to make salient our native competency for loving so we can then orient our next actions toward embracing love. If you want to learn the conceptualization of love and say “My next act is A Love Attempt!” then you can’t afford to miss Morhaf’s essential guide.
