Crime Bites

by Susan Handley

Today, I'm so excited to be featuring Susan Handley and her release, Crime Bites, Vol.1! If you love crime fiction then Crime Bites is for you.

A pick and mix collection of short stories, each with crime at its heart, designed to be devoured in one sitting. Put them on your phone or tablet and never be stuck for something to satisfy your appetite for crime. 

Some are light-hearted tales, others deliciously dark. No matter what your taste in crime there’s something to suit your palate. 

The stories have been written for people who love to read but are short on time. Read them while waiting for the bus, while grabbing a quick cup of coffee, or if you just fancy ten minutes curled up with a story that will keep you guessing till the very end. 

Recently hitting number 1 in the Amazon free ebook charts, Crime Bites volume 1 is available on Amazon for only 99p, so get it while you can here!

And if you enjoy volume 1, Crime Bites Volume 2 is now available for pre-order at only 99p here! Another eclectic mix of bite-size morsels — some a little darker, others served with a dollop of humour. 

About the Author

Susan Handley grew up in the Midlands, England, and despite a love of literature, and crime fiction in particular, she never dreamt she would one day publish her own stories. But the desire to write never left her and after years of writing by night she has at last been able to achieve that dream. 

Susan now lives in a small village in rural Kent with her husband and three cats. When she's not indulging her love of writing crime fiction, she loves walking (the hillier the better), bike riding (the flatter the better) and tending her veggie patch. 

Books currently available by Susan are: A Confusion of Crows and Feather and Claw -  the first two novels in the DC Cat McKenzie mystery series; The Mystery of Snake Pass -  a novella featuring Sheriff Jesse Cabot (written under the pen name SJ Handley), set in the Californian gold rush; and Crime Bites volume 1 and volume 2 -  an eclectic collection of bite-size crime stories.

Author Spotlight

T.K. Eldridge

I'm very excited to feature T.K Eldridge on my blog today. T.K. writes a mix of Paranormal Murder Mysteries, Supernatural and Urban Fantasy. T.K. started writing a long, long time ago. A few years ago, she wrote as part of her job as an Intel Analyst. Now she writes fiction because she wanted unclassified books that her family could enjoy.

Remembrance

The Descendants: Book One

I was three when I watched my mother die.

Now I'm back in Muckle Cove digging into her murder.

They say coming home is never easy, but what I'm finding goes so much deeper than anyone could have imagined.

Ancient magic, modern politics, and my mother's ghost all point to some truth in the past that could change my present forever.

If it doesn't kill me first... 

Check out the exciting beginning of The Descendants series here!

Revelation

The Descendants: Book Two

For nearly fifty generations, the Descendants of Charlemagne have been protected by the Garda.

Now there are only two living Descendants left - me and my father. He craves more power, and I’m trying to figure out how to access mine.

He’s willing to kill to get what he wants, while I use the dead to try and stop him. Ghostly allies and magical cops aren’t enough as the bodies keep piling up around me.

It's time to claim my destiny once and for all and put an end to his plans.

I’m done being played.

I’m changing the game. 

The Descendants saga continues with "The Revelation"! You can buy it here!  Book 3 of this trilogy will be released at the end of September.

Jericho

The Hybrid Chronicles: Book One

He made the ultimate sacrifice for his country – yet he wasn’t dead.

He signed their forms. He accepted their diagnosis. He welcomed the treatment.

He changed his name and disappeared.

Now he is considered less than human. A pet, held in the Facility until he and his team are let loose on a government-sanctioned target.

Except this next target isn’t some terrorist or criminal – it’s a teenage girl on US soil.

Jericho and his team may be a different kind of soldier, but they still hold to their moral codes and honor. Going against a direct order is not something they would normally consider…

But nothing about this team is normal.

T.K. Eldridge begins another amazing saga with the exciting first installment, "Jericho". It's due out in November and I know I can't wait to get my hands on this one!

Rython Legacy

by Mandy Eve-Barnett

I'm so excited to feature Mandy Eve-Barnett on my blog today. We're featuring a new release, the eagerly awaited Rython Legacy, which is the sequel to The Rython Kingdom.

Juliana held her granddaughter in her arms; it was a bittersweet moment. The child was a delight but also her replacement; she was the new sorceress who would protect the kingdom if called upon. At that precise moment, Maralynn opened her golden eyes - there was such intensity in them that her observers were taken aback at the obvious powers the new little being held. A thin thread of cyan mist floated and twisted above the happy group... unobserved, a portent of things to come. Maralynn's reign as Eldenma would be fraught with challenges, but could her exceptional power ultimately overcome?

Check out Rython Legacy today!

 Soul Scars

by Mary Crawford

Today, I'm very excited to spotlight author Mary Crawford and her new release, "Soul Scars"! If you love suspenseful romances with strong women and nerdy guys with heart, Soul Scars (the third book in the Hidden Hearts – Protection Unit series), maybe just what you're looking for.

Software programmer Toby Payne has tried hard to shed his identity as a child kidnapping victim, but now his extraordinary computer skills are needed to rescue missing teens.
Detective Pauline Lawrence likes to go all in. Her leap-before-you-look style has given her a bad reputation. Can she make up for her past mistakes with the help of a dashingly handsome, but shy computer programmer?
Pauline affects Toby in ways he never expected. Yet, he's not sure he can set aside his terror when the talented young detective volunteers for a high-risk hostage rescue mission.

Toby and Pauline must decide if love is stronger than fear and if they can thrive despite their pasts.

About the Author

He told her on the night they met that he was going to marry her and be the father of their children.

He is across the United States completing his residency, but when he’s done, he is going to come back to Oregon and practice Family Medicine. Their youngest son is in high school where he is an honor student.

A proud graduate of  Western Oregon University and Willamette University College of Law, Mrs. Crawford writes full time now. She has written and published over thirty books and has several more underway. She volunteers her time to a variety of causes and has worked as a Civil Rights Attorney and diversity advocate. Mrs. Crawford spent many years working for various social service agencies before becoming an attorney.

Ashes of Eden

by Mandi Konesni

I'm so excited to feature Mandi Konesni on my blog. Her exciting new release is "Ashes of Eden", a paranormal romance. You can check it out here!

After being tainted by Leviathan blood, an Archangel must collect angelic relics and return them to Heaven before the transit of Mercury to prevent the Undoing… a period where demons can take control of the earth and negate the power of Heaven.

To earn back his wings, he’s tasked with preventing this from occurring by any means necessary. Even if it includes working with a Cambion female who is too nosy for her own good, or getting caught breaking into the Vatican. They did say ‘any means necessary’, didn’t they?

Evil is insidious, and lurks in the most unassuming of disguises. But people are stronger together, and true love is worth fighting for, even if you have to give up everything you thought you needed and wanted in order to keep it. He may be a protector of the world, but he failed to protect something far more important- his heart.

Sometimes, redemption comes in a way you least expect it to. Sometimes, sacrifice is worth the cost.

Mandi resides in Ohio, where she shares her workspace with an ornery bassle pup. In addition to writing, she runs an online storefront, a roleplaying website, and is a 3rd Degree High Priestess. She's an avid reader and blogger, who adores music. Whenever there is a concert in town, you can bet she's taking the night off and cheering on her favorite bands. She can easily be bribed with peanut butter M&Ms, gemstones, hot lead singers, and gargoyles.

You can look up Mandi at her website and say hey!

And be sure to get you a copy of this new exciting release, "Ashes of Eden"
