Book Friends,

It is Cheap EBook Time.

If you want $0.99 ebooks (and honestly, who doesn’t?), there are two sales going on right now:

Campfire Indie Sale (4th-13th)

SPFBO Finalist Sale (5th-8th)

Yes, yes, all my ebooks are $0.99 through the 13th as a part of these sales, and Campfire has exclusive bonus art- but it’s not just about my books!

During last year’s sales, I bought 5 books for the price of a coffee. It was thrilling. It was glorious. I am going to do it again this year.

Join me. Peruse the virtual bookshelves. Get yourself a little treat and support an indie author at the same time. You deserve it. 💖📚

Miles went to sleep tucked tightly in bed in his Austin apartment and woke up in the middle of a damp, dark forest in the kingdom of Rompu, a land being torn apart by a civil war between its king and queen. Miles has few companions in this vast kingdom, which is filled with fantastical animals and flora yet sprinkled with familiar items like digital clocks and vinyl records. As he searches for a way to return home, he discovers that certain memories trigger magical abilities: he can shoot fireballs from his palms, heal with nothing but a touch, and more. But as he struggles to make sense of this new world, his thoughts are punctuated by painful memories of his sick grandmother, quarreling parents, and an icy school therapist. When Miles learns that a monstrous entity flying through the countryside and killing for sport was summoned from a portal to another realm, he believes this creature is the key to learning how to open another rift and return home. Tracking down this beast and mastering his newfound magical abilities may be the only way for Miles to help save Rompu and get back to his family in Texas.

Vampires walk among us, using folklore to hide, and relying on superstitions to discredit the very notion of their existence. Lurking in the shadows, and remaining in the background, they have preyed on humanity for thousands of years. Bram Stoker came close, revealing the presence of Dracula, but even he misunderstood the true nature of the vampire.

Hi all ^-^

I've got a question for all you lovely followers. How do you all feel about freebies from (legal and legitimate!) Sources other than amazon? Books from amazon, temporary deals and permanent freebies, will still be posted when I find them as always!

Mama always said so.

Clarence Manning is a working stiff and a borderline alcoholic, whose only solace is gazing out his window at mankind with a drink in his hand. Love and beauty are dead and gone. Yet he smells rose petals on the night wind and sees them falling from the sky. When three sentient beings invade his life, Clarence scoffs at their divine nature. The Blue God, Trujillo, matches Clarence's apathy with divine, razor-like arrogance. Lenore, a god of yellow light, bestows the most beautiful, loving companion. And Donatello, The Red God, offers loyalty and friendship in a way he's never experienced. But Clarence wants no part of divine intervention, and he rebukes the gods with a vengeance. When Trujillo proposes war, Clarence taps into his own god-like power, unleashing an influence born from his sinister past, a creature of shadow that spells annihilation for mankind, the gods, and the very fabric of reality. Author's note: The Divinity Series comprises the story arc of the child, Divinity, beginning with All The Gods Against Me and continuing on with Calliope and Worlds Away. It is a series of darkness to light, beginning with the raw, adult-themed All The Gods Against Me, and becoming more redemptive by Worlds Away. You can read the complete cycle of darkness to and light in order or as stand alones.

 A number of great books were included in the art installation/memorial library, but here are 12 we spotted that we love and we know Poussey would too:

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

Dear Life by Alice Munro

And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie

In a land of fabled kingdoms, once respected truces are at risk of descending into all-out war following a gruesome series of murders in Liefland, the last stronghold of mythical creatures. In an effort to keep the peace, the Western Kingdom summons three valiant knights of the Royal Order to investigate and capture the deadly culprits. The disciplined half-dragon Law, the cloud-headed and whimsical Love, and the legendary Order, accompanied by three lesser protégés, uncover a sinister Necromancer plot to subvert the Fairy King and take a once-in-a-millennia opportunity to question an extra-dimensional being. Unlikely bonds of survival are forged between former foes to keep the entire region from descending into a Necromancer hell of sorcery and savagery. However, such alliances are fragile and easily called into question, as greed for power makes old hatreds bubble to the surface, threatening everything the Western Kingdom and knights hold dear. A battle of good versus evil is at the heart of this twisted fantasy tale. True character and love of humanity will push three veteran knights to the very limits of their creed, cunning, and highly honed skills. You must choose now where your lot is cast...among the undead or with those of the living, but be warned: the night is upon us and the stars will be cold.

A street-weary former cop tracks a mysterious girl through the crowds and crises of a San Francisco Bay area twenty-five years into the zombie era.

Deceased and Residing in Oakland is a mystery thriller in the tradition of American Crime Fiction, set twenty-five years after the beginning of the zombie apocalypse. San Francisco is a city under siege — it’s heaving with refugees and it’s seething with crime — but it’s still a city. It’s got cops and courts and commerce, and it’s got one burned out cop in particular living a careful life a bay away from the rot that still stalks the suburbs, looking for a heartbeat. All he wants is a quiet life, but when he’s hired to track down the mysterious daughter of one of the city’s elite and the case starts killing his friends, he’s forced on a high-velocity ride among the eccentric citizens and dangerous diversions of fortress San Francisco and all the way back to the last place he ever wants to be.
