Dark Moon Seasons Goes Live

Dark Moon Seasons, a Dark Horseman Novel, by Valerie Griswold-Ford went live today. The Free-Read(tm) is here, and copies are available for purchase through regular channels. Of course, we'd appreciate it you'd hop on over by our links to Amazon.com for your copy :^) We're a struggling publisher... every bit helps!

Dark Moon Seasons is the second installment, and resulted in the first, Not Your Father's Horseman getting a new cover. And a bit of an interior facelift. That resulted in the interior italics randomly disappearing... so we're working on that. Those who get copies with the italics missing on the occassional line, well, you've got a cursed, collectors edition. See not ALL of them are missing, and it seems to vary from book to book... truly a one-of-a-kind book. Val and I've decided it's a plot by the shhhh... "other side".

Last Rites, the final book in the trilogy is well under way and should be out next year. Barring incidents.

So what is Dark Moon Seasons about?

The Cleansing has begun.

Nikki, the Horseman Death, is lost in the Chaos storm that is sweeping through the world. No one knows where the other three Horsemen are. The Council of 9 is in tatters. And the StarChild has sealed herself off in a corner of Vermont for unknown reasons.

She has to find the other three, or the World Walls will completely disintegrate. Alex Masterson, the renegade billionaire geneticist who created her, has the key to find them.

She’s just got to find him first.

Sounds like fun, doesn't it?

We thought so, but just so you know we're not entirely biased, we went out and got a blurb/review:

Dark Moon Seasons is an apocalyptic marvel and an explosive read that gallops though a multifaceted web of lies, treachery and hope.

Tamara Siler Jones, author of the Dubric Byerly Mysteries

There, if you need any more reasons to get a copy, let me know! I think you'll enjoy the read. And of course, you can always try it for free first. (and apparently, in cursed fashion, line-breaks disappear in Blogger... be very carefull where you read the book!!)

Solomon's Grave, Live!

From our Free-ReadTM program, Solomon's Grave by Daniel G. Keohane will be heading to the printer's shortly. You can enjoy the book now by downloading an electronic copy. But please do go and preorder your copy today!

Solomon's Grave, by Daniel G. Keohane
Nathan Dinneck's new role as pastor may be shorter than he expects.

For thousands of years a secret has been hidden from the world and protected from those who covet its power. Popes and Kings have sought it. Theologians and historians have debated its very existence. In every generation since the days of Solomon, one person is chosen to keep its secret, protect it from an ageless group claiming the treasure for their own dark god. After millennia of searching, they are finally closing in on their prize.

Evil has followed Nathan home to Hillcrest, Massachusetts.

Nightmares of temples and blood sacrifice, visions of angels and cemeteries foreshadow a dark battle to come. In the balance hangs the lives and souls of those chosen to protect history's most holy relic, perhaps even the gateway to heaven itself.

The German edition received great reviews, and you know it will be just as good, if not better in english! (Yup, it was published in Germany first)...

"A fascinating occult suspense novel, fluent to read, for all those who prefer subtle suspense and finely woven characters over bloody murders and hardcore action..."

~Media Mania, (German edition)

Nina Working Cover

It's been a while since I posted anything, and figured you might all think I wasn't actually doing anything, but I have been working hard! We have a giant list for this year and to get them all out and more-or-less on time (and get the day job done) it's head down and clatter clatter on the keyboard.

Solomon's Grave and Dark Moon Season are also in mad production mode and are very close.

But here's the working cover for Nina Kimberly -- we're NOT done yet (rather obviously by the fake text) but we're getting closer.
