I love the idea of Rabbit Do Press. grin.

I'm not thin-skinned, but I do have a hard time with hard sells. So I'll just say I have 9 ebooks available throughout a variety of platforms:

Kindle at Amazon
Kobo
Nook at BN
All formats at Smashwords
Itunes
Sonyreader

Currently, some books are only available from Amazon, but they will be released from the Lending Library by the end of May.

thanks for taking a peek. And if you do purchase a Thea read, please visit my blog and enter my $50 Haystack gift card contest.

Ben Richards lives for the weekend when he can forget about the boring job and have fun with his eccentric friends at the golf course. A wayward golf ball changes his life in an instant, miraculously transforming him from hapless hacker into a PGA-caliber golfer. This sets into motion a chain of events that alters the direction of his life, both on and off the golf course.

As the story evolves, Ben's new status as a golf prodigy opens the door to the community of golf's elite, and he is befriended by the number-one ranked golfer in the world. He meets a special woman who is not only smart and beautiful but an avid golfer as well. Ben's interest is piqued; she is reluctant to get involved. The plot thickens. Who is this intriguing woman, and how will her past affect Ben's future?

No Place Like Home

When life throws you a curve ball, you have to stand tall and take your cuts, because winners don’t back down.
No Place Like Home is a story that everyone who has ever really loved something can relate to. It's a Story about a young man (Jimmy Matthews) who has his whole life unfolding just as he always pictured it, when life throws him a curve ball. Suddenly everything he worked so hard for seems to be lost and he has to start all over from the bottom. Along his way he meets a young physical therapist (Nancy) who helps him realize that there is more to life than baseball. Together they climb their way back to the top and find each other along the way.

Water Witch: YA fantasy
2.99 on Amazon and Smashwords
Waiting for release to BN

ALAYSHA is a witch who has more power than she can control and her father uses that gift to decimate his enemies. Over her seventeen years, her power has enabled him to become the Emir of a large land, where even as the conqueror's daughter, she suffers the prejudice and fear of those around her. When she is asked to annihilate an entire peaceful village, she doesn't realize it is the last of her own mother's tribe, and only discovers too late that the battle she has won for her father may cost her the only connection she has to her past, and with it the secrets to managing her gift.

She needs to find the one person who managed to escape her power, the charismatic Yenic, a youth who seems to know more than he wants to tell and who has become the target of her father's next campaign. With orders to kill, she sets out on a mission of her own very much in contrast to the one her father wishes her to fulfill. The trouble is, there is someone else out there who would use the water witch for his own gain, and unless she can find a way to consolidate who is the real enemy from supposed ones, her entire homeland of Sarum, the only three people she loves, and countless other innocent people will die.

New book: Legacy of the Highlands

My very well-reviewed (thank goodness!) contemporary romantic suspense novel, Legacy of the Highlands, links a murder in 21st century Boston to an oath made by the victim's Scottish ancestor in 1320.

When Will Cameron's body is discovered in a Boston alley, the only clue to his murder is a pristine Scottish dagger left beside it. His devastated widow, Alexandra, finds refuge in the Miami villa of Will's best friend, Diego Navarro, a handsome and wealthy Argentine who has the means, power and temperament to solve the puzzle and to avenge the senseless killing. He is equally determined to win the grieving widow's heart. The attraction between the two grows as they follow leads from Miami to Buenos Aires and Scotland, unraveling the Cameron family's secrets and the Legacy of the Highlands.

It's available as a 95,000-word ebook ($1.99) on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0062LPAO2 and all other ebook sites and also as a 360-page paperback ($12.95) on Amazon or Createspace. I hope you'll check it out!

Smile WHISPERS OF A LEGEND, PART TWO-THE PATH NOW TURNED

WHISPERS OF A LEGEND, PART TWO-THE PATH NOW TURNED is free today!

The Legend Continues...

The legend, they say, is whispered within the winds along the magnificent Preda Mountain Range, the words and deeds never to be forgotten of the Time of the Nuxvenom, a time when the Sordarins crushed the impending threat, the dreaded Asmeodai, and once more Scarladin was safe. The mighty Sordarins, rulers of the sky! No, the Sordarins have slept well over the years secure in their knowledge the Great One watches over them, knowing the legends holds a mighty warrior will emerge if threatened again, born with a destiny only to defend their world. But subtle changes have emerged. Little by little fear beings to resurface that their world, their very existence is once again threaten. They look to the skies anxiously awaiting their warrior; questioning perchance if the Great One has forgotten them. I know this how? For I am the one born to defend their world. I, Kela Calledwdele, was born a Euchoun. I am their warrior.

So starts this epic fantasy...Whispers of a Legend saga. Kela Calledwdele was born with a destiny, a Euchoun with only one purpose in life...to protect. Torn between two worlds, Kela soon discovers she is the hope of both. Now she must find the courage to face the destiny fate has dictated to her.

Kela has always known what path in life she would follow. She was born a Euchoun. Half Witheleghean, a passive peaceful race where magic runs freely and the other half, Sordarin, a valiant warrior race of hawkmen who rule the sky, she knows well her parents gave the ultimate sacrifice to give her a chance to live. Yet, in so doing, they have left Kela unprepared to face the dangers that await her. Her instincts are to protect and in this she does, but in so doing it leads her into a world where she knows not whom to trust. In time her power matures and grows stronger when she bonds with a Sordarin warrior, Cono. She learns well why she holds the power. An evil as no other before, Asmeodai, has emerged but all is not what it seems as a dark cloak encompasses her family. Betrayal, distrust, treachery leaves Kela alone. She is torn by her desire for Cono and the purpose, the path, she has been given to follow. And when another emerges within her world, one who seemly wants only to help her along her path, she is pulled further away from her Sordarin.

Having proven her ability during the Payelaga Desert battle, she believes herself ready to follow her destiny beside her warrior. Fate has another path for Kela. When she discovers all she has long believed is not as it seems, the betrayal leaves Kela torn by her desire for Cono and the path she has been given to follow.

The Path Now Turned is the second installment of the Whispers of a Legend saga. Follow Kela's battle to embrace her destiny. Whispers of a Legend follows Kela along this conflicting path, where as a young woman unsure of her ability and her confidence in facing the challenges before her to where she emerges as a strong leader who learns to lean upon her own strength, to stand not behind, but side by side with her warrior.

Times of Trial: an End Times novel (Book 2)

This novel is a parallel novel to Times of Trouble.


A preacher and his family, the Tyler’s, have a church that is dying in Arizona, and they take care of the remaining seniors who are members, including the ones in nursing homes or in hospice. The remaining family, the White’s, leave the same church and head to Wyoming to live in a community that was originally started by Doomsday Preppers back in the early 2000′s so they can attempt to escape the increasing persecution of Christians.

Meanwhile, President Collins orders the activation of Camps across the country that will house believers who he thinks are a threat to his rule, while money for the project is supplied by his mentor, Michael Evans. The Tyler’s end up with others in a Camp in Arizona, while the White’s and the community they live in get attacked by the government. Other events happen that also occur in Times of Trouble, while Evans continues to manipulate events as the Rapture takes the Christians, and he gains ultimate power.

I hope I'm in the right place to say this!

Today thru May 20, THE BRO-MAGNET is free on Kindle. Here's the 411 on it:

Women have been known to lament, "Always a bridesmaid, never a bride." For Johnny Smith, the problem is, "Always a Best Man, never a groom." At age 33, housepainter Johnny has been Best Man eight times. The ultimate man's man, Johnny loves the Mets, the Jets, his weekly poker game, and the hula girl lamp that hangs over his basement pool table. Johnny has the instant affection of nearly every man he meets, but one thing he doesn't have is a woman to share his life with, and he wants that desperately. When Johnny meets District Attorney Helen Troy, he decides to renounce his bro-magnet ways in order to impress her. With the aid and advice of his friends and family, soon he's transforming his wardrobe, buying throw pillows, ditching the hula girl lamp, getting a cat and even changing his name to the more mature-sounding John. And through it all, he's pretending to have no interest in sports, which Helen claims to abhor. As things heat up with Helen, the questions arise: Will Johnny finally get the girl? And, if he's successful in that pursuit, who will he be now that he's no longer really himself? THE BRO-MAGNET is a rollicking comedic novel about what one man is willing to give up for the sake of love.

Hi , I'm new to this forum (hence "Hi ") and I'd like to talk to you, my fellow authors and readers, about my book.

First of all, technically it's not a book but two short stories (17-18 pages long) and this weekend they are for FREE on amazon. How much are they? You read correctly. THEY ARE FREE. Awesome.

They both come from my series "Shopping for Ghosts and Other Unusualities" which I hope to release soon. Both stories are about different tasks that Dominic, a young lad with some unusual skills, gets; and he can get you, generally, anything (for a reasonable price and within the boudary of good taste, of course).

In the first one, "Shopping for Ghosts", a customer wants to acquire a - you guessed it! - ghost to scare his neighbour. But it is not that easy to find a proper ghost - the client wants a cut-off head and ghostly chains but at the same time the spectre cannot be a coarse and ill-mannered simple thief but a proper gentleman. Why? I'm not going to say and that's not really relevant - the point is the story is great. In my opinion at least and I hope that you'll come to similar conclusion!

In the second one, Competition, Dominic has to get a unicorn for his customer's daughter - again, not as easy as fairytales made you believe - and at the same time there is a new shop in town, claiming they can get there customers "anything". There's going to be some action and plot twists and oh-my-gods-I-did-not-expect-thats. And if you did expect that and are not satisfied with those two short tales, there are no refunds - SINCE IT'S FREE THIS WEEKEND ANYWAY.

http://amzn.to/LgNnWo "Shopping for Ghosts"

http://amzn.to/J8TrkY "Competition"

Oh, and if you've missed, my poor little thing, this awesome FREE promotion, both stories cost 0.99$ anyway, so it's not that much (amazon won't let me sell it cheaper ;D). And if there are (I hope that, by the time you are reading this, there are) some positive reviews you might consider buying it!

Hoping for some positive reviews,

Adam Betley

Compelling Time Travel Saga May 21, 2012
By James A. Anderson
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a wonderful time travel novella.

You get to go back to some famous events in American and world history: The Wounded Knee Massacre, Sinking of the Titanic, JFK's assassination, and more with some highly original and unique alternative timelines.

This is well written and compelling, page-turning stuff. Ball poses some interesting thoughts about how government could mess up the world if it ever got its hands on such a time device. It's fun to read about it, but let's just hope it never happens.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story, just disappointed it ended too soon.

The Journal

On July 8th, 2010, 26 year-old Sarah Withers went missing. No clues were found relating to her disappearance, and there were no credible witnesses. In December of that year, the remains of a body, believed to be that of Sarah Withers, were found in a shallow grave behind an abandoned home in a deserted strip of mostly condemned and dilapidated houses.
DNA results were inconclusive and all that was found in the area was a journal inside of the abandoned house next door to the lot where the body was found. Little information is known of the man who wrote this journal, outside of his name...

***

This is my first book actually published (Okay, full disclosure: It's more of a short story), so pardon me while I get used to the whore-like nature of self promotion.

I'm very pleased with how it turned out and it's only 99 cents, so there's no risk if you think it sucks. It's a quick read. Even a slow reader like me can knock this thing out in probably an hour and a half.

It's available through Amazon (Kindle-only) right now:
