Acclaimed horror writer, Christopher Denmead gives an incredible new take on the legend of Dracula!! 

Illustrations by Ken Hunt and a foreword by NY Times Bestseller, Jonathan Mayberry!

 

We take the entire cast of Dracula and Gender Swapped the cast, Its the classic story with new twists and turns. This is a prose novel. Very akin to Bernie Wrightson Frankenstein with 24 black and white illustrations by Ken Hunt.

   Amazon.com:  Vlada a Dracula Tale: Denmead, Mr Christopher David, Hunt, Ken: 9798718583601: Amazon.com: Books

Christopher Denmead has both updated and gender-swapped Bram Stoker’s life-impaired Transylvania nobleman. Vlad is now Countess Vlada Dracula, and she is now pitted against a female Harker and -of course – a new take on Van Helsing. It’s both a re-telling of the story and an original take, bringing freshness and a dark sense of fun to a story we only think we know by heart. 

It’s a quick read -pause through to drink in the wonderful artwork-and a thoroughly entertaining one. Scary and smart, fast and very furious. It is -pun entirely intended – something to really sink your teeth into.

 Turn the page. Take the bite.

 Jonathan Mayberry, NY Times Bestselling author of V-Wars, Ink, & Rot & Ruin

Angel Maker

The Award-Winning Novel by Barry B. Wright

Meet evil that is impossible to forget. This historical espionage adventure novel, which begins on the eve of World War II, invites you for a journey inside the murderous mind of a psychopathic killer.

The gruesome murder of a young child, Rebecca Grynberg, pushes Inspector Alexander Collier into a treacherous investigation—and places his own family in jeopardy. Propelled into a world of seemingly unconnected murders, he soon learns that the lives of his son, his son's fiancée, and her Jewish family in Nazi Germany all hang in the balance because of his involvement.

For help seeking justice for the murdered child, Collier joins forces with an unlikely group of people that includes a psychic medium, a NKVD Soviet agent, and a British agent with a prosthetic leg she calls "Cuthbert."

Will Inspector Collier save his son and his fiancée’s Jewish family among the turmoil of Nazi Europe, or will the Gestapo win the day? This historical spy thriller delivers suspense, revenge, romance—naughty bits and all—and plenty of sharp turns as Inspector Collier races to bring a killer to justice.

Angel Maker is an exciting crime investigation and action adventure thrill ride that will take you from the shores of Bournemouth, England, across the English Channel to Paris, France, and into the heart of Berlin, Nazi Germany. 

Hold on to your pages, things will go bump in the night.

When You Least Expect It, a new novel from Lorna Schultz Nicholson

 

When You Least Expect It 

A change in direction for critically acclaimed Children and Young Adult author, Lorna Schultz Nicholson 

Released on November 15th in Print by Red Deer Press 

How long can Holly keep her secrets?  

Avid competitive rower Holly is seventeen. There is nothing she wishes for more than to compete in the Olympics. When she fails to make the rowing team that is going to Europe she is shattered. Her dream has exploded, and she is left dealing with the disappointment. She is also confronting a new reality at home: she and her mother have moved in with her mother’s annoying new boyfriend, Super Stew, and his two sons.

This move is a blow to the close relationship Holly thought she had with her mother.

Holly’s not a quitter. She lands a summer job, and then she is handed an unexpected lifeline in the person of a man who offers to coach her in a single rowing boat. For a girl raised without a father, the coach’s generosity – and rigorous demands – are a gift. But where did he come from and who is he, really? Discovering the answer plunges her into sadness – but then he inspires her to work beyond her comfort zone. Holly feels her mother won't support her so she secretly trains. And when Holly starts seeing someone from work who could become a significant romantic partner, she hides that from her mother as well. How long can you keep secrets like this? This page-turning story is enhanced by fascinating detail of what it means to be a competitive rower — as well as an emotional core that is powerful and compelling.

The Tattoo Murder by award-winning author and broadcaster, Bob Brill

 

The Tattoo Murder

A novel with a new direction by

Award-winning author and broadcaster, Bob Brill 

Released and published by Tuscany Bay Books

The book is available worldwide digitally

“The Tattoo Murder” is the story of a U-S Army combat veteran who became a police officer back in his home town after he’d seen enough injustice in the world.

A different kind of cop, Det. John Potenza travels to the tune of his own drum, the waves which he loves to surf, the women who occupy his life and the music which drives him. All this is secondary to getting it right when it comes to justice. An Italian-American who knows his way around the kitchen, the fit and trim cop with comic book hero good looks catches the eye of almost every woman he meets. If he were British he’d probably be in “her Majesty’s Secret Service” with a Double-O in his name.

Many of the characters in the book are derived from Bob Brill’s own past and acquaintances and friends and while the book is a work of fiction, the people are real – well sort of.

David B. Savage, shares his business expertise in Break Through to Yes

 

Break Through To Yes

Unlocking the Possible within a Culture of Collaboration

 

“A work that couldn’t be more timely.”

Collaboration expert, David B. Savage, brings his business expertise, stories, and processes to the forefront.

 

“Canadian collaboration expert Savage … offers a work that couldn’t be more timely. While it addresses organizational collaboration, this book could be interpreted more broadly as a treatise on building a cooperative culture within families, groups, businesses, and government. In a collection of concise chapters, Savage leads the reader through a discussion of the meaning and value of collaboration. The author supplements his own experiences over more than four decades with extensive quotes from experts and results from surveys that he conducted; in effect, he collaborated far and wide to garner input for this volume… Highly readable, informative, and well-organized, this insightful work acts as a short-form textbook on the best practices in collaboration. A valuable volume for the senior leader of any group, business, or organization who wants to build a collaborative culture.” Kirkus Reviews

Released on October 27^th in Print and ebook by East 26^th Publishing

When a hotheaded DJ is caught in a viral web of vengeance, it’s unlikely he’ll find the wisdom to quiet his inner critic.

Radio jock Aubrey Cortes cares way too much about what others think. After he humiliates himself in front of a listener-turned-love interest, he’s horrified when the explosive episode goes viral. But, after the disaster turns into a first date, he celebrates with a barrage of search-and-destroy tweets aimed at torpedoing his online critics.

Thrilled when his newfound viral fame lands him a nationally syndicated show, he uses his connections to arrange a backstage pass to meet his   new squeeze’s legendary musical idol.

Cue mayhem.

Aubrey’s heart is cruelly betrayed on centerstage, and blows up big time. Again.

And now he wants payback.

Can Aubrey eat humble pie and take a Zen lesson or three, or will he go down in a fiery fit of revenge?

A riotous romp, They Canceled the DJ is an outrageous standalone dark comedy caper packed with over-the-top antics, satirical commentary, and humorous twists.

From the writing duo of Mercedes Lackey and Cody Martin comes Reboots: Undead Can Dance

 

REBOOTS: UNDEAD CAN DANCE

A SPACE OPERA OF WILD PROPORTIONS BY THE CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED WRITING DUO OF MERCEDES LACKEY & CODY MARTIN! 

Released and published by Caezik Notables, a division of Arc Manor Books!

The book will be available in digital and print!

 

"Unfettered oddball entertainment.”—Publisher’s Weekly

Say hello to Humph the Boggart, the principled, down-on-his-luck private detective, Skinny Jim the zombie, and Fred the werewolf, in this film noir style space opera.

Humans aren’t alone anymore—in fact, they share a planet with undead and near-dead beings, living in…semi-harmony, depending on who you ask!

This is the world of Reboots—where zombies, vampires, and werewolves live side-by-side with humans, taking whatever jobs they can in order to coexist peacefully. So, what better job to give almost-dead or dead beings, than one that consists of no air, cosmic radiation, and a lack of life-sustaining essentials?

In comes a cast of interesting, unique, and downright paranormal creatures as they travel through space.

Consisting of four parts, Reboots: Undead Can Dance is a space opera destined to become a favorite, written by beloved and world-renowned fantasy author, Mercedes Lackey, and Cody Martin.

Follow Skinny Jim, a zombie who conceals his ability to speak to avoid being exterminated after an ill-fated war launched by a zombie emperor, leading to an alliance between Norms, the Fangs, and the Furs. And then there’s Humph the Boggart, an ethereal parahuman private investigator who navigates interspecies relationships in claustrophobic extraterrestrial environments with his friends, including Fred the werewolf.

And what happens when you put them all together in a confined space?

Lackey and Martin have created a perfect, witty, fast-paced read that you won’t be able to put down, and will leave you craving more.
