Do you like strange? Does it curl your toes (or your hair), or make your tummy go hollow when you read about alien monsters with an appetite for people - or everything in sight? This is by my SF alter ego, David B. Ross, and it's a collection of four very different short stories about alien life forms who behave in monstrous ways. The theme is disaster, strange ways to die, and the end of the world. Dare I say it, but Ross has quite an imagination ;-) Meet Todd and his shipmates, who encounter the unknown in the dark. Meet the aliens who want to start over on planet Earth. Find out just how strangely a survey expedition might come to grief. Witness the very last gasp of our world. <br />Perhaps this is an odd duck to be pitched here - but hey, maybe it's good to be different!david.rose1958@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05223391476240605670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-961332566292942537.post-52589771792762084232014-12-12T20:09:28.656-05:002014-12-12T20:09:28.656-05:00The Watchers were responsible for keeping the powe...The Watchers were responsible for keeping the power of the dark wizard in check after the breaking of the world. They were from the three major races, and they did their duty for centuries without fail. One day, they stopped.<br /><br />It's been a thousand years since the Breaking of the World. Elves, dwarves and men have gone their separate ways into self-imposed isolation. Evil once again gains power though the machinations of the wizard Khollaran, and the rebirth of a dragon - once thought lost forever.<br /><br />Only through the fulfillment of an obscure prophecy, the impossible birth of half-breed twins and the reuniting of the races will the world stand a chance to survive the coming storm of rage-driven magic.Timothy Bondhttp://www.triadinesaga.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-961332566292942537.post-28752682022654455712014-12-12T19:26:37.228-05:002014-12-12T19:26:37.228-05:00What a wonderful idea - thanks for the fun!
Pitchi...What a wonderful idea - thanks for the fun!<br />Pitching my book DESPRITE MEASURES:<br />Described by one reviewer as an 'eco-urban fantasy' this is the tale of Cassie, a Scottish water sprite - an elemental - who is trying to live a quiet life in her native Highlands. <br />Being kidnapped by a magician who intends using her natural force to power his dangerous experiment doesn't quite fit the bill, and when she falls for her fellow captive, her life and loves spin out of control. Add in a vampire-junkie hedge witch, a powerful but vulnerable druid, and rival covens who see her as a prize to be won, and Cassie's swimming in problems.<br />To add to the fun, if you read on a computer or tablet, this book contains live links to website with pictures and info on the locations that appear in the story, including the infamous Loch Ness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-961332566292942537.post-12240903661264065582014-12-12T16:38:05.858-05:002014-12-12T16:38:05.858-05:00Aw, thank you so much.

Feeling safe inside a psych ward, she fantasizes about one of her doctors sexy voice and nice hands while refusing to face the truth of how she ended up there. This story starts with a glimpse at what sent her there, to present day, and slowly reveals what sent her spiraling to the point she loses her memory. (And again, that's all I can say without giving to much away).<br /><br />However! Today I've decided to throw in a part you can't see in the sample, because I love this, it's one my favorite parts. The chapter is aptly titled "Shut Up" and when I chose the song to go with it, it was perfect. I highly recommend anyone who reads it makes sure they listen to the songs that accompany it, ha.<br /><br />“I know your name, Zee.”<br />At those words, I whip my head to face him, pointing a finger at him, and yell, “No!”<br />He lifts a brow, placing his pen down on the desk, before steepling his fingers and smiling. “Why don’t you want to hear it?”<br />“You can’t know my name. Nobody knows who I am.”<br />“What if I said we do?” Even though I shake my head, he continues with whatever he thinks he has to say. “We were hoping you’d remember on your own. You’ve been through a lot in the last year before the accident, so we thought maybe you simply needed a break. But now I know you’re afraid to know anything at all.”<br />“Shut up!” I stand up and slam my hands down on his desk, glaring at him. “You shut up, right now!”<br /><br /><3 good luck to everyone! I will be checking out all the books posted.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15021248483734515789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-961332566292942537.post-74259088997508876902014-12-12T09:36:31.653-05:002014-12-12T09:36:31.653-05:00I love that cover.

Unable to walk away, Dawn runs toward danger to help the girl. When the group of guys turns out to be a group of demons filled with blood lust, she has to fight for her life.<br /><br />Dawn ends up unconscious and at the hospital, and the nightmares she has about the demons haunt her every night and day. She sees them wherever she goes, and she is not even certain whether they are real or if they are only her imagination. When Dawn meets Angelo, she finds that coping with the horrors haunting her mind is a little easier. Happiness seems right around the corner, until Bonita, the exotic beauty with a dark soul and mind, appears to take what she desires: Angelo. Bonita casts a love spell over Angelo, and suddenly demons become the least of Dawn’s problems. If Dawn can't find a way to break the spell and stop Bonita, she could lose her love, and even her life. <br /><br />ANGELS DAWN is a YA Paranormal Romance that will appeal to fans of Becca Fitzpatrick's HUSH HUSH and Lauren Kate's FALLEN SERIES.<br /><br />Komali da Silvahttp://www.komalidasilva.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-961332566292942537.post-45188598774994453282014-12-12T09:01:01.489-05:002014-12-12T09:01:01.489-05:00STORMY!
