L OW SERIES INTRODUCTORY PRICE
“This book, as crammed with events as any suburban mom’s calendar, shows you what would happen if Buffy got married and kept her past a secret. It’s a hoot.”–Charlaine Harris, New York Times bestselling author
Kate Connor is your average, everyday mom with two kids, a husband, and one very big secret … she used to be a Demon Hunter. Now retired, she’s more interested in the domestic than the demonic. So when she catches sight of a demon in Wal-Mart, she tells herself it’s some other Hunter’s problem. But when that demon attacks her in her kitchen, retirement is no longer an option.
Now Kate has to kick a little demon butt, figure out why the creatures are trying to take her out and take over her home town, and at the same time take care of her 2 year old, deal with a hormonal 14 year old, and try to keep her past a secret from her daughter and her husband.
She’s a little out of practice, but hey … if she can juggle two kids and an impromptu dinner party, ridding the town of demons should be a piece of cake. Like the saying goes, Carpe Demon … and Kate intends to do just that.

Four Days with Hemingway’s Ghost by Tom Winton
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Literary, Mystery Thriller & Suspense, Thrillers, Suspense, Literary Fiction
F our Days with Hemingway’s Ghost is not a story of spooks and goblins. It’s a powerful story about two men from two very different times. One man is mortal, the other is immortal. One is painfully ordinary, the other world famous.
Jack Phelan is a forty-two-year-old underachiever who lives in South Florida. Although he mows lawns for a living, he’s not what you might expect. He’s got an exceptionally sharp mind and is a self-educated Hemingway aficionado.
After Jack gets into an unlikely accident he’s flown by helicopter to the nearest hospital, where he remains in a coma for four days. But somehow, minutes after he blacks out, he finds himself in Key West, Florida–rubbing shoulders with an aged Ernest Hemingway.
Hem has been sent back down to help determine whether or not Jack has what it takes to write a book for “The Main Man above the clouds.” But what Ernest doesn’t know is that the book is to be about him. And that its purpose is to change the world’s perception of the swaggering, hard-knuckled, macho myth he has become.
Over the next four days, Jack Phelan and Ernest Hemingway travel to the legendary author’s old haunts and meet up with many of his long gone friends. Some of these reunions are rollicking good times, others are highly emotional tests of strength. But wait. When their time together comes to an end, the story is still not over. That’s when things really get interesting.

However, he soon discovers another purpose when an extremely talented young psychic enters his life. He devises a project and builds a team to stretch the frontiers of exploration, only to make a reality-shattering discovery…

Molly’s life is back on track, her son has begun college, and she and her husband have finally rekindled their relationship. Their fresh start is shattered when a seven-year-old girl disappears from a local park near Molly’s home. Unable to turn her back on another child and troubled by memories of the past, Molly sets out to find her, jeopardizing the marriage she’d fought so hard to hold together. While unearthing clues and struggling to decipher her visions, Molly discovers another side of Boyds, where the residents–and the land itself–hold potentially lethal secrets, and exposes another side of her husband, one that threatens to tear them apart.

They’re real. And they’ve been haunting him since he was seven years old. Mostly he ignores them.
But when the ghost of his best friend from childhood shows up at the local motel, Wilkin can’t ignore the call of friendship. And when his friend’s killer buys the motel so he can destroy the remains, Wilkin can’t ignore that, either.
Wilkin steals his friend’s skull before the killer can destroy it and is plunged into a hot mess of a supernatural thrill ride.
A death-race pursuit of a child’s skull. A spirit-whispering trucker hauling plush toys to Kansas. Five demonic farm-kids in a housing project. A Dodge City marshal who executes wayward ghosts. A nasty yellow jersey that takes the joy out of living. And a graveyard full of snitches.

Because when most of the people around you are spirits anyway, DEATH AIN’T BUT A WORD.
Reviews:
“Marks delivers a sixth-sense thriller with a twist…an intriguing tale with an unlikely protagonist, and he may have also created a new urban-fantasy subgenre…Marks’ prose provides a sense of hope and humanity in bleak situations. He also delivers a thought-provoking story, with a high level of creativity and flair…just the right amount of intensity throughout. An imaginative, offbeat urban-fantasy…” — Kirkus Reviews
“Death Ain’t But A Word is a fast-paced, thrilling book that is both hilarious and heartwarming…an off-the-wall book that is impossible to put down and impossible not to love.” — San Francisco Book Review (5 of 5 stars)

All Who Wander Are Lost (Icarus Fell #2) (An Icarus Fell Novel) by Bruce Blake
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Genre Fiction, Horror, Dark Fantasy, Science Fiction & Fantasy, Fantasy, Series
A ll Who Wander Are Lost (An Icarus Fell Novel #2)
“I am SO glad I stumbled on to this author&series! Unbelievably good. I couldn’t put either book down!”
“This book is a top-notch sequel to the trials in the life – or afterlife – of Icarus Fell. Without question, this is a triumphant return to the story of a man reformed as he struggles to survive in the space between spaces. Bruce Blake is fantastic with his ability to weave so many elements, twist and turns, into his work and there is no way any dark fantasy reader would not enjoy this second book.”
If we’re good, we go to Heaven; if we’re bad we go to Hell. No one wants to go to Hell.
Except one man who wishes people would just remember to call him Ric.
In the aftermath of a serial killer’s murderous spree, souls who didn’t deserve damnation went to Hell. The archangel Michael doesn’t seem concerned, but Icarus Fell can’t bear the guilt of knowing it’s his fault they ended up there.
But how can he save them when the archangel forbids him from going and his guardian angel refuses to help?
The answer comes in the form of another beautiful, bewitching guardian angel who offers to be his guide. They travel to Hell to rescue the unjustly damned one by one, but salvation comes at a cost and the economy of Hell demands souls.
Is it a price Icarus is willing to pay?
“Every once in a while a book has a gripping scene that stops me right in my tracks. This book has one such scene and it gave me goosebumps. I probably read it three or four times before continuing on. I highly recommend both of Bruce Blake’s Icarus Fell novels. You won’t be disappointed!”
“All Who Wander is a delightful urban fantasy romp. It has just the right amount of dark and gritty, but the author is careful to feed the reader tiny nibbles of hope to keep you going through the book. I tore through it in an afternoon and immediately went out and bought the prequel.”
Praise for “On Unfaithful Wings (An Icarus Fell Novel #1)
“Bruce Blake’s On Unfaithful Wings is a great urban fantasy novel. I love good character development in a story’s protagonist and Blake nails it with Icarus Fell.”
“This was a very engaging book. Author Blake creates unique and interesting characters that really made the novel come alive in my imagination.”
“The most important part of a book to me, as a reader, is characterization, and I was pleased to find the characters in this book had oodles of personality. The plight of the protagonist is moving and I like the grim, wretched flavour throughout the book.”

Edward Pulaski secretly believes when attorneys start popping up dead all over Washington, D.C. in the thriller, First, Kill All The Lawyers. If reporters could be next on the hit list all his dreams would be fulfilled. An obscure poison, no suspects, and no forensic evidence hinder the investigation until a federal judge is the target and Pulaski’s friend, FBI agent Shawn Cleary, joins the task force.
Shawn, fresh from a shootout that may leave her partner a quadriplegic, throws herself into the investigation to assuage her guilt and stop the horrible flashbacks of the event. As the body count rises and crosses state lines, lawyers from across the country begin to panic and demand action. Patterns emerge as pieces of the puzzle begin to come together.
The breakneck pace accelerates until Sgt. Pulaski reluctantly realizes all the clues lead to Shawn Cleary as the main suspect. She does nothing to dampen his suspicions when she flees instead of turning herself in. Worlds collide when powerful people in Washington seem more interested in a shoot to kill order than capturing Shawn alive. Pulaski is torn when Shawn calls him professing her innocence.
Working both inside and outside the system, Pulaski and Shawn continue to connect all the dots until the killer’s next move becomes obvious. Aware her life hangs in the balance, Shawn tells Pulaski she is determined to save someone she loves and capture the killer before he gets away. Pulaski must choose between trusting a friend and doing what his bosses want. As Shawn races to the historic theater where the climax awaits, she prays she can make it in time while Pulaski wonders if he made the right choice.

Solving Religion with Logic: Logical proof that God exists and the Bible is all true by Paul Kasch
Genre(s): Christian Books & Bibles, Theology, Politics & Social Sciences, Philosophy, Logic & Language, Religion & Spirituality, Christianity, Apologetics
C an a religious truth be logically proven, or is religion forever relegated to being a matter of blind faith? If there is a true religion, shouldn’t we be able to prove it by now, using scientific data and higher mathematics? This is exactly what Paul Kasch sets out to do in his latest work. The reader is invited to follow along in the investigation process as we:
• Establish an unbiased, neutral mindset
• Look around at the environment we find ourselves living in, and attempt to solve the question of our existence
• Gather the world’s major religions, logically arrange and dissect them, and require them to present demonstrable truth of their claims
This book would not exist if the quest failed. Using nothing more than the reasoning prowess we are all born with, a solitary (yet timeless) religious truth emerges as the equation of the only sound logical argument capable of producing such a thing. Use your head for something other than a hat rack and join the author on an intellectual journey which renders all other pursuits trivial by comparison.
This eBook has been professionally edited and is specially formatted for all Kindle devices. We promise a smooth and enjoyable electronic reading experience, including a click-able table of contents. Download this gem today and solve the question of religion once and for all in your own life.

The Big Book of Dumb White Husband by Benjamin Wallace
Genre(s): Humor & Entertainment, Humor, Comedy, Fiction, Comic Fiction
I f you’re not him, you know him.
He’s challenged the grocery store. He’s confronted the HOA. He’s even taken on Santa himself. He doesn’t usually win. These are the tales of the Dumb White Husband and they are all available here in this collected edition.
This handsome volume includes:
Dumb White Husband vs. the Grocery Store – John would rather sit and watch the game, but his wife needs some things at the store. Can he complete the list and get back in time to see the end of the game?
Dumb White Husband vs. Halloween – Every Halloween, Chris has the scariest house on the block and gives out the best candy. But, this year, someone is showing him up and he’ll stop at nothing to find out who.
Dumb White Husband vs. Santa – Erik has planned the perfect Christmas for his family. The plan is foolproof, bulletproof and flame retardant. Nothing can undo the hours of planning and preparation. Nothing except maybe odd-shaped packages, ill-timed fruitcakes or an errant neighborhood Santa Claus.
Dumb White Husband vs. the Tooth Fairy – Erik always has a plan and he’s sure he would have figured out the whole Tooth Fairy thing eventually. But, when his three-year-old son takes a frisbee to the mouth, he’s forced to speed things up. Between neighborhood kids with big mouths and unhelpful dentists he’s going to need to improvise. Will he bend to the pressure of inflation? Will he get caught in the act? And, what do you do with those teeth anyway?
Dumb White Husband for President (A novella) – There comes a time in every man’s life when he must stand for the things he believes in. John doesn’t believe in bagging his grass. So, when a new allergy-prone neighbor gets the HOA to require it, there’s only one thing he can do – run for President of The Creeks of Sage Valley Phase II.
John, Chris and Erik put aside most of their differences to run a campaign that they hope will see John elected as President and end the meddling of the rule-loving new kid on the block. Will they succeed? It’s doubtful.
Note: Previously released as Dumb White Husband for President & Other Stories.
The Book of Paul — A Paranormal Thriller by Richard Long
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Genre Fiction, Horror, Dark Fantasy, Mystery Thriller & Suspense, Thrillers, Fiction
“ Everything you’ve ever believed about yourself…about the description of reality you’ve
clung to so stubbornly all your life…all of it…every bit of it…is an illusion.”
In the rubble-strewn wasteland of Alphabet City, a squalid tenement conceals a treasure “beyond all imagining”– an immaculately preserved, fifth century codex. The sole repository of ancient Hermetic lore, it contains the alchemical rituals for transforming thought into substance, transmuting matter at will…and attaining eternal life.
When Rose, a sex and pain addicted East Village tattoo artist has a torrid encounter with Martin, a battle-hardened loner, they discover they are unwitting pawns on opposing sides of a battle that has shaped the course of human history. At the center of the conflict is Paul, the villainous overlord of an underground feudal society, who guards the book’s occult secrets in preparation for the fulfillment of an apocalyptic prophecy.
The action is relentless as Rose and Martin fight to escape Paul’s clutches and Martin’s destiny as the chosen recipient of Paul’s sinister legacy. Science and magic, mythology and technology converge in a monumental battle where the stakes couldn’t be higher: control of the ultimate power in the universe–the Maelstrom.
The Book of Paul is the first of seven volumes in a sweeping mythological narrative tracing the mystical connections between Hermes Trismegistus in ancient Egypt, Sophia, the female counterpart of Christ, and the Celtic druids of Clan Kelly.

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.

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.
