Book Excerpt: Rose of Anzio by Alexa Kang
Chapter One
It all began in the rose garden.
A dark blue Buick convertible pulled up to the entrance of the driveway leading to a limestone mansion. The mansion itself was barely visible from the street, but from there, the passersby could catch glimpses of the magnificent rose garden in front of the house.
Anthony Ardley got out of the car, said goodbye to his friend who had driven him, and…

Author Interviews: Alexa Kang and Rose of Anzio
My name is Alexa Kang and I have a passion for writing love stories, especially big, sweeping epic tales.
My stories don’t fall neatly into the “R”omance genre because they often involve story arcs beyond the romance, but the heart of my stories is always about love.
My current and debut series, [easyazon_link identifier=”1523253614″ locale=”US” tag=”thiiswri-20″ cart=”n”]Rose of…

Book Excerpt: By the Hands of Men, Book Three: The Wrath of a Righteous Man by Roy Griffis
It was another sailor who was able to help them locate Nikolai. The tar was a sunburned fellow with strongly muscled forearms on which danced inked images of mermaids, dolphins, and sailing ships. He was using a metal tool to chip paint from a bulkhead, a task he readily put aside when approached by Charlotte. “The Russian gent? With a patch over his eye?”
“Yes.”
“He’s below with the lads.…

Book Excerpt: By the Hands of Men, Book Two: Into the Flames by Roy Griffis
Beginning the Great Game
Robert Fitzgerald sat gazing out the window of his second-floor room at the Oxford and Cambridge University Club on Pall Mall. He was playing a game of sorts, hoping he might see someone.
He was looking for a girl.
In the afternoon’s growing twilight, pedestrians hurried along the walk in front of the Club. Fall had arrived, and the evenings could take a sudden turn…

Book Excerpt: By the Hands of Men, Book One: The Old World by Roy Griffis
The Casualty Clearing Station
The new girl was peering about the tent when Charlotte and Kathleen stumbled in at the end of their shift that July day in 1917. The work itself was exhausting – twelve hours of standing, bending, folding, feeding, bandaging, debriding, cleaning, and sterilizing; only to repeat it all again. Add to that labor the effort of presenting cheerful countenances to the…

Book Excerpt: Glacier by Beth Lynn
Chapter 30
I desperately pointed at the alarm clock.
“It’s after curfew.” I said, “Jamie, you should probably get back. I don’t want another gargoyle at our door.”
“Why are you trying to kick me out? Do you have a problem with me or something!” Jamie demanded.
“Yes,” Mel concurred, “you’ve been acting weird all day. Tell us what’s the matter. Did you get in a fight with Will or something?”

Book Excerpt: A Fateful Melody by Megan Rivers
Preface
It was one of those days in May when the trees of New York no longer carried the promise of green buds on its branches, but the beginning of summer leaves instead. It made me smile as I climbed out of the taxi and walked into the airport.
Traveling had become a routine. Every weekend I performed a choreographed dance: e-ticket check-in to the left, slip off my shoes for security to the…
