Untreed Reads is proud to announce that they have received worldwide ebook rights for legendary Regency romance author Barbara Metzger’s House of Cards trilogy. The first two titles, Ace of Hearts and Jack of Clubs, are now available wherever ebooks are sold. The third in the trilogy, Queen of Diamonds, will be released in July.

About Ace of Hearts:

A classic work from author Barbara Metzger, now available in ebook format for the first time!

Never did Alexander “Ace” Endicott, the Earl of Cards, imagine himself to be thrice-betrothed against his will by the doings of three desperate debutantes. So he escapes London to his property in the country, where he follows through with his deceased father’s last wish-to find his long-lost step-sister. His search takes a detour and leads him to Nell, who piques his interest. Now, Ace may have to reconsider his rejection of marriage and see if two mismatched lovers can make a royal pair.

About Jack of Clubs:

Years ago, Captain Jack Endicott’s half-sister vanished after a carriage accident. He now sets out to honor his father’s dying wish and find her. Jack plans to open a lavish gaming parlor and hire only beautiful ladies to deal cards, possibly finding his sister. All he needs is a little luck. Instead he finds prim schoolteacher Allie Silver, who needs a guardian for one of her most precocious pupils. With such an unlikely duo, all bets are off in a wild game of romance.

About Author Barbara Metzger:

Post-apocalyptic Science Fiction short stories.



Product Description
An anthology of twenty-six themed episodes set in a post-apocalyptic future, where the population of several continents has been ravaged by a flu-like pandemic. A close-knit group of genetically immune men, women and children battle to survive attacks by marauders. The Families attempt to use their ingenuity and disparate skills to evade discovery and establish a viable, self-sustaining community, only to find it falls under attack by armed gangs.

There are twenty-three named characters. See how Jed, Sylvie, Brian, Jaide and their families tangle with gang members Snake, Rat, Stink and Grease. Discover the roles played by the spirited Nina, airport guy Graham, and the biker horde.

54,000 words (equivalent to 74 paperback pages). Don't let the price put you off... 99 cents/69 pence.

A couple of snippets:

'Like I said, I ain't no lady!' Nina held Snake's gun at arm's length, with the muzzle against the back of his head. She pulled back the hammer on the over-sized, chrome-plated revolver.
'Take it easy,' Snake said.
'Don't 'easy' me,' Nina said. 'You're the one making trouble.' The others saw from her face that she was in deadly earnest. 'Now move that truck, or your boss gets it.'

**

Was Stink's plan just a bluff? Was he really trying to take over from Snake or was he playing a game to throw Nina off guard? While they were distracted, Nina moved again, so fast they didn't see it coming. She drew her own gun and pointed it straight at Stink.
Stink spat on the ground. 'Jeez, she's fast,' he said.

**

Sylvie looked out across the rooftop, sunlight pouring in through the four-sided pyramidal roof.
'You can almost see the beans and tomatoes growing,' she thought.
Her husband Jed, Brian and his wife Jaide, Grandpa Gunn, all the kids, and Christine and Simon were sitting around the dining table with satisfied looks on their faces. It was the second week in a row they'd had roast boar for Sunday lunch.
'We call it Sunday,' Sylvie thought, resting her hands on her own slightly over-filled stomach, 'Who knows what day it is according to the old calendar.'

**

A plume of black smoke jetted out the exhaust ports of a huge battle tank. The tank lurched forward, the sound of its failing engine reaching the roof terrace a second or so later. Its squat, ugly shape was covered in black and brown camouflage and it positively bristled with armaments. The most prominent weapon was the main gun mounted on its top turret. The beast made it the fifty metres from the slip road into the car park, riding straight over the remains of a burnt-out car before the alternately stuttering and over-revving engine finally cut, and the short, stubby gun muzzle swivelled to point directly at the top of the building.

THE HARBINGER OF DOOM SAGA

The Harbinger of Doom saga centers around one Lord Angle Theta, an enigmatic warrior of unknown origins and mystical power. No mortal man is his match in battle. No sorcery can contain or confound him. No scholar or sage can outwit him. But for all his skills, he is but one of us; a man, a human, who shares our faults, our dreams, and our ambitions. He boldly strides across the land, fearless, peerless, and cloaked in mystery; all his will bent on righting such wrongs as he deems fit.

Until the day the Gateway opened and turned the world on its head. On that fateful day, Korrgonn came and washed away our dreams. And his outre' realms of chaos set their unholy mark upon our world and claimed it for their own.

Only Theta and his companions see the enemies aligning against us. Only they foresee our end coming -- the end of civilization, the end of the world of man. Only they can hope to turn the tide of madness and preserve all that we hold dear.

But no man, not even our greatest hero, can stand against the Lords of Chaos and the dark armies of Nifleheim at their command. Fiends that infiltrate unseen within our ranks, that tear down our temples and our traditions; that devour us from within, unseen, unknown, unheralded, and unopposed until the hour grows far too late.

Through the murk and mist that hangs before our eyes, one man only sees true. One man pierces the veil of magic that blinds us all and marks the world as it truly is, revealing secrets, secrets of Angle Theta, so horrifying as to shatter a man's mind and call into question the very nature of good and evil.
Join us now on our journey back to the days of high adventure.

He checks Julia's messages and finds just one. It says 'help me'. It comes with a strange, old image of a woman being seduced. It's all he has to go on. That and the fact that someone is trying to kill him.

But he will find Julia's killers, no matter what it takes.

Hello! I was just notified from Smashwords about the Summer/Winter 2011 Sales – (Summer in the northern hemisphere, winter in the southern hemisphere). From what I can gather, Forge of Stones was automatically enrolled because it’s free, and it will be made specially available on sale at Stanza on the iPhone/iPod Touch, and on Aldiko for Android phones.

I don’t think I can provide any special links or whatnot, so here’s the book’s page on smashwords


I guess books on sale will be available on a special section somewhere in these two mobile apps, so if you are a happy user of one of those, happy downloading and enjoy reading “Forge of Stones”!

[Lucid_Dreamer]

I posted on here a month or so ago about my book, On Dark Paths. I've since made some changes and the book is much higher quality now. So, in honor of said changes, here is the revamped product description with links. Enjoy! (Note: the books only on Kindle for the moment)


Now and then a person brushes up against something they can’t explain, something so far outside the norm that in a sane world it ought not exist. Enclosed here are thirteen stories about this unholy interaction of the Mundane and the world Beyond:

- A mysterious stranger and horrible sounds from the night give the briefest glimpse into the horrors “Beyond the Veil”

- Is it merely a dream? Or is it a horrific glimpse into Outer Darkness? “Plop!”

- A mysterious video wends its way through the digital world, leaving nothing but madness and destruction in its wake in “…And the Truth Shall Make You Free ”

“Where the Darkest of Dark Things Dwell” – Sometimes it isn’t the monster outside that gets you. Sometimes it’s the one inside.

- A modern day Frankenstein learns the price of hubris in “Murphy’s Law“

- Nothing can save you now. You’ve been bitten… in “The Bite”

-A sleepy little mining town conceals a horrible truth beneath its feet in “Benton’s Station”

-The nighttime fancies of childhood sometimes turn out to be all too real in “It Came At Midnight”

- A paranormal enthusiast gets much more than he bargained for in “Death At a Train Crossing”

- It lurks in the woods. Watching. Waiting. What is it? No one knows. “The Thing That Smiles”

- An eccentric author receives a pair of strange visitors one rainy night in “Black Eyed Kids”

- A mysterious box reveals Everything…but for a price… in “The Spirit Box”

- A journalist learns the truth about a devastating plague that has swept the world in “Pandemic Hysteria”

There you have it. Thirteen stories to chill the blood. Thirteen stories that lay bare the strange reaches of our world and the dark ways beyond it.

Won’t you walk with me On Dark Paths?

Stephanie Laymon of
http://fivealarmbookreviews.com/ says " I enjoyed reading a book that is hard to classify. The genre really could be romance, suspense, or chic lit. I found Where Dreams Are Born to be a fast and fun weekend read that will probably be enjoyed by many. I look forward to reading more from this author.

I would recommend this book to those who like women’s fiction, romance and suspense, and who want to keep it light."

Available at all online bookstores.
