“We will leave,” Needle said, “but I can’t promise the other.”

That's two great space operas for less than two bucks.
One 5 star review says: Different. And different is good. The characters are engaging, fun. This series had my attention right away, the story is odd, but in a good way. Fantasy and science fiction.
Earth in 2099; a girl stuck in a strange cult;
some very unusual plants, or are they plants?

5 stars from Books for YA: "If I could have my own Red I'd be the happiest person ever!"
"I reach for the velvety sack in my cloak and feel the reassuring give of the Oblivion Powder. It’s diminishing with every dose, and I won’t be able to make more here. I need to ration it carefully. My heart hammering, I flutter into the bathroom, inch open the drawstring and shake a line onto my wrist. I inhale greedily, desperately."

It's a paranormal roller coaster ride with dark twists and heated turns...
I thought it was all good with us. I love him beyond death so it has to be. “At least make me understand why you’d risk this…risk us, to fly off willy nilly!”
Basil rounded on her, his face etched with pain. “Because I didn’t get to say goodbye! Okay? Is that enough? Or not enough? I didn’t get to end things with my parents like you did. No closure. My life got ripped away from me. All because I joked with the devil! A few choice words with the wrong person and I ended up with this!” He slapped his palm against his Harvestor’s mark.
One of the several 4/5 star reviews for They All Fall Down: "Fantastic. Short, action-packed and enough drama to keep the reader to the very end."
1301 - THE MARQUIS
(The 13th Floor series, #1)
Heaven will never grant him absolution, and he refuses to return to Hell.
5 stars from Cherie Reich - "THE MARQUIS is so different from the normal paranormal romances I've
read. The characters are older, yet the romance is still sweet and
passionate. Marc reminds me a lot of Hellboy without the kittens." Bitten by Books - "THE MARQUIS gets three and a half tombstones for overcoming two major difficulties of short fiction: character development and exposition. The Marquis plunks us down in the middle of the action and stays there."
Mae
had seen his demonic side. His fiery eyes and inhuman maw. His
goddamned ugly mug.
There’d be no last
cup of coffee. No sweet smile or comforting touches.
He wanted to smash the
cars he strode by and throw them through windows. The urge to
destroy, to kill, was intoxicating.
Marc had saved her. For
the time being.

Four friends. One monster. Who will get out alive?
“No one will be coming up here.” Cassie laughed, although
the sound held no mirth. She put on her gloves. It was already getting cold in
the truck. “James said the forestry service checks this road once a week. It
could be several days before they make the rounds. The road behind us is
blocked, and very few people will come out here during the winter season, as
well. I’m going with James. I won’t stay here.”
“Cassie has a point.” James shrugged. “We don’t know when
they’ll check the road, but we don’t all
have to go.”
“Well, I’m staying here.” Denise crossed her arms. Cassie
might be a few months older than she was, but it didn’t mean she had to listen
to her, and there was no way she was going to walk out there in the dark.
Besides, Cassie was being childish with that horror movie nonsense. “There
could be wild animals out there and who knows what else.”
5 stars from Aubrie Dionne - "... stark and chilling"
4 stars from Medeia Sharif - "This is one creepy horror novelette."

A woman screams.
A silken voice and a powerful grip to the throat persuades her silence. His classic Russian features, not unlike the minted image of Czar Nicolas II, remain frozen in time. “Please do not disappoint me like the others, my darling.”
The doorbell chimes. He releases his hold and caresses her cheek. “Natasha,” escapes his lips as he ascends the creaky wooden stairs. A calm hand opens the door. The glistening snow on the front porch pales against Aleksei’s skin and charming smile.
The callused hand of detective Danny Fitzpatrick flashes a search warrant. His puffy, bloodshot eyes lock onto Aleksei’s ...
The young woman cries out, but only Aleksei hears. They will never find you my dear. This beaten and hung over man does not have a clue.
Hours later, the detective crosses the threshold and shudders as if encased in a block of ice. The sun drops to sleep and an eerie shadow creeps alongside him. He shakes his head.
Aleksei watches from the peephole. You feel my immortal essence ... do you not? A forceful hand bolts the door. Aleksei probes his elongating eye teeth.
It is time for a new plan ..
Praise for Polar Night
"A great, super fast read. I couldn't put this down. - Lisa Regan, author of Finding Claire Fletcher and Aberration
"This is a real page-turner. The way the book switched back and forth between the villain, the victim(s) and the heroic cop, kept me always wanting to turn the next page, to read one more chapter, then one more. It takes a riveting plot to get me to do that." - Graeme Ing, author of Ocean of Dust

Help solve their murders in the Indigo Eady Paranormal Cozy Mystery Series
A Guilty Ghost Surprised
Book II
By Gwen Gardner
An Angel Among Us
Paranormal happenings at the Eady household are the norm.
Recently, things have become downright peculiar. Childish giggles at odd hours
of the night lead Indigo Eady to her little cousin, Bryan, a guileless cherub
spirit, complete with Spider Man pajamas and a set of faux angel wings. The
problem is that Bryan died nearly three years ago in a hit and run that killed
him and his mum. The driver was never found. Now the gang must solve the
mystery of his death in order to send him back to heaven. But where to
start when the trail is three years cold?
Indigo Eady
Indigo Eady is not clumsy. At least, that’s what she keeps telling everyone. Can she help
that the overactive spirit community of Sabrina Shores causes her psychic
abilities to short-circuit? It’s unfortunate that her cute friend Badger is
often on the receiving end of her mishaps. At times, she is positively
hazardous to his health. Even so, sparks fly in more than one direction.
