If I ever need to run from a lion, I will not be able to. They are just too fast. With that in mind I decided I will not try jogging again. Instead I will eat a bowl of Lucky Charms and no lion will try to eat me.
The Prophet Motive: A Cult Thriller
Eric Christopherson
Genre: Action & Adventure | Mystery, Thriller & Suspense
FREE for a limited time
San Francisco Homicide detective John Richetti spent part of his childhood living inside an infamous cult known as the People’s Temple. As a boy he’d lost his parents to cult-instigated mass suicide. The memories come flooding back when he investigates the bizarre suicide of a former member of Earthbound, a New Age cult–and suspects murder instead. To uncover the truth he infiltrates the group, along with police psychologist Marilyn Michaelsen.
The new recruits find themselves pushed to their physical and mental limits by a series of sophisticated brainwashing techniques as well as by a cult leader, known only as The Wizard, who appears to possess psychic and paranormal powers. Even the psychologist’s expert knowledge of cults can’t explain The Wizard’s feats, and it isn’t long before John, like his parents before him, surrenders his independence to another . . .

Steel Joe: An Action Adventure Novel
S. A. Ferkey
Genre: Action & Adventure | Mystery, Thriller & Suspense
FREE for a limited time
Jesse Tolley has been frozen within the womb of a coulee for more than a century, but today he’s going to rewrite history. Or die trying.
A hundred years ago, Owen Dervin wanted something he couldn’t have — Jesse Tolley’s woman. So he framed Jesse for a robbery and murder he didn’t commit, then shot him in the back and left him for dead.
But today, a freak accident has resurrected Jesse from the dead. He breathes his first breath in over a century only to discover that his beloved wife, Emily, has passed from this world, and his land is in the hands of strangers.
That’s not all that’s changed. History has branded Jesse Tolley a thief and murderer, and his sole descendant, Rachil Andrizzi, has changed her name to forever disassociate herself from her infamous great-grandfather.
Jesse’s shock is compounded when he walks into town and finds himself in the middle of the city’s annual celebration to honor its most famous citizen, the hero, Owen Dervin.
Jesse will die a happy man if he can clear his name, but the odds are woefully stacked against him. His body has been ravaged by time, gunshot wounds, and innumerable traumas. And now the mayor, the entire police force of Lupine, Wisconsin, and the FBI are gunning for him.
Can Jesse show Rachil, aka Melinda Tolley, that a man’s name should be a testament to how he lived his life, not how someone else says he lived it — before time runs out?
Jesse’s first day in the 21st century could well be his last in this action adventure thriller about one man trying to do the right thing against all odds.

The Legend of Juan Miguel: The Tale of an Unlikely Texas Hero
Anna K. Sargent
Genre: Historical Fiction | Romance
FREE for a limited time
Equal parts history and mystery, romance and hero’s journey, this Texas tale has more twists and turns than a country back road. In The Legend of Juan Miguel, Anna K. Sargent revisits Texas in the late 19th century, that famed era when the West began and Texas was in a border conflict with Mexico. But in this story, the hero is Hispanic. Sargent asks us to cast aside what we think we know about identity and the history and mythology we’ve been taught. Ride along with the young Juan Miguel as he uses every guise and all the courage he can muster to win back his fortune, his good name, and his lost love. Deprived unjustly of his birthright by ambitious Anglo ranchers, the son of the wealthiest Tejano in Texas is spurred on by a forbidden passion for the woman who is married to one of those ranchers. Handsome, loyal, brave, and cunning, this caballero reinvents himself over and over and becomes a Hispanic hero for the ages.

Winterland
Mike Duran
Genre: Fantasy
FREE for a limited time
Summoned into her dying mother’s coma, recovering addict Eunice Ames must traverse a surreal, apocalyptic dreamscape in search of three generational spirits who have imprisoned her mother’s soul.
Together with Joseph, a crippled drifter who serves as her guide, Eunice treks an abandoned highway strewn with debris from her mother’s “emotional” wars. Along the way, she encounters Mister Mordant, a perpetually whiny grub, Reverend Ash a fragile, supremely self-righteous minister, and Sybil, a beautiful sylph with a knack for deception. Eunice and Joseph endeavor to lead this peculiar brigade into the hell of her mother’s making, through the swamp of Mlaise and the volcanic plains of Cinder, to the Dark Throne where they were forged. Along the way, Eunice experiences, in awful living color, the forces that have shaped her mother’s descent into madness and disease.
Yet a more malevolent power conspires against Eunice. For not only is she forced to relive the psychological terrain of her own upbringing, she must now confront the darkness it has spawned… the one inside her. It seems Eunice has harbored horrors of her own; years of abuse, rejection, and generational sin have taken root. And no amount of psycho-babble and positive thinking can withstand the literal monster that is waiting at the end of this highway. Can Eunice destroy the spirits that have cursed her family and rescue her mother, or will the sun set on their hell forever?
The Wizard of Oz meets Dante’s Inferno in this novella (27,000 words), a dark adult fairy tale about finding faith, redemption, and confronting the monsters of our psyche.
