About Kyra Halland
6950045Beginning with the Prydain books by Lloyd Alexander and the Earthsea Trilogy by Ursula K. Leguin, Kyra Halland has always loved fantasy. She has also always loved a good love story. In 1990, as a new stay-at-home mom with a young baby, she finally decided to combine those two loves – like chocolate and peanut butter! – by writing the kinds of romantic fantasy novels she wanted to read.

Complicated, honorable heroes; heroines who are strong, smart, and all woman; magic, romance, and adventure; and excursions into the dark corners of life and human nature mixed with a dash of offbeat humor – all of these make up Kyra Halland’s worlds. She is excited to share those worlds with readers, who she hopes will enjoy her stories and characters as much as she does.

Kyra Halland lives in southern Arizona. She has a very patient husband, two less-patient cats, and two young adult sons. Besides writing, she enjoys scrapbooking and anime, and she wants to be a crazy cat lady when she grows up.

Fangless (Fangless #1)
Bree had always known that her life was not going to be easy, that it would be a hard, but she had never expected for it to be this hard. Hidden away from the world, kept out of sight for her own protection, her anger and hatred has grown. So much so that she no longer feels capable of feeing any other kind of emotion… until she meets him.

A vampire assassin on the hunt, Gabriel expected to find nothing but a soft bed and a place to hide out the day when he walked into Dead Fang, a hotel exclusive for vampires. Instead what he found was a mystery… the mystery of a fangless vampire who he just could not resist.

This book contains a fangless vampire with anger problems and a past as dark as her eyes, an assassin determined to break down her walls, and the fires of passion that ignite when he does. Contains m/f interaction, not meant for the younger reader.

Rating: 5 Stars

Suffer the Children is set in the early twentieth century. A professor of Oxford, whilst conducting research in a library belonging to an acquaintance, discovers a journal written by his associate’s father. In this journal contains a horrifying account of his travels to Sardinia.

This is a short, subtle horror story that reads like it was written in Victorian times. Selwood has mastered this style and the tale leaves you with chills long after you’ve finished reading. An excellent short story that I highly recommend!

About Andrea Waltz
I’m a professional speaker, business author and most recently have added fiction to my resume. As co-author of the best-selling title, Go for No! Yes is the Destination, No is How You Get There I am wildly passionate about this message. I am also proud of our collection of other business fables.

My newest passion along with my husband, business partner and co-author Richard is writing our fiction series, Onyx Webb. Onyx Webb is a paranormal suspense series. We’ re writing almost to read like a t.v. series; you could think of it like a supernatural soap opera. We’ve designed the Onyx Webb series to give readers the jolt of suspense they are looking for from a ghost story, but also to come away feeling motivated to make more of their own lives, long after the goose bumps have worn off.

A paranormal suspense, supernatural romance, with a dash of historical fiction, Onyx Webb is what author Richard Fenton and Andrea Waltz have called creep-spiration. The stories may haunt you, the darkness may disturb you, but ultimately you’ll be reminded to treasure every moment of your life because… If you think life is precious now? Just wait until you’re dead.

A M AlexanderAbout Andrea M. Alexander
I’ve written everything from poetry to newspaper articles, but young adult and new adult fiction are my favorite genres. Writing has been my passion since elementary school. I’m even picky about my pens and pencils — the lead has to be dark and the ink has to be thick. While I will always love the smell of a new book, the digital age has captured my attention in the form of eBooks.

I’ve lived in seventeen states (Georgia right now) and two countries, so I don’t claim to have a home town. I will always love traveling, and if I can’t get there physically, I can always get there in my mind. My imagination always keeps me company, but so do my readers when they send emails…so please feel free to write!

Rating: 4 Stars

2513 is a unique story that depicts dying and the process of collecting souls as a business and Grim Reapers as employees of the corporation.  Due to an error, Matthew Anderson is alive and shouldn’t be. Instead of dying he is offered the chance to choose a different life for himself.

Much of the novel is about Matthew’s choices and the situations that he finds himself in following on from those choices. The banter between the three main characters had me laughing in several places, but as well as humorous this is a thought-provoking read. The end was left somewhat open for a follow up which I’d love to read too.

Overall this was a good, fun read which I enjoyed immensely.
