Hey, kid, wanna buy a book?

Happy Saturday, friends and neighbors! Apparently I griped so much about having no books to promote last week that you lovely people decided to give me plenty this time! We have several new books from familiar faces and the first from a recent addition to the Hunnish tribe. A quick note: I’ve included TXRed’s first book because it will be on sale to help promote the sequel, which has just been released. So go, oh mighty Huns, and buy books! Read them! Enjoy them! Once you’ve enjoyed them, go leave reviews and mention the books to your friends! If you didn’t enjoy them, well, just keep it to yourself. *grin* You all seemed very generous with your feedback on covers, marketing, etc. a couple of weeks ago, and I encourage you to continue to help your colleagues that way. Money and input, input and money. As always, future entries for the promo post can (and should!) be sent to my email. Happy reading!

Elizabeth of Starland (The Colplatschki Chronicles)

Stubborn as a mule? No, stubborn AND her mule.

Colonial Plantation LTD. abandoned ColPlat XI, writing the planet off as a tax loss after a series of severe Carrington-type events. Now, four hundred years later, Laurence V of Frankonia wants to write Elizabeth von Sarmas out of his kingdom, but like her Lander ancestors, Elizabeth refuses to roll over and die.

To survive, she needs to cross the continent, thread her way through a holy war, and find friends in the Eastern Empire—an impossible task for a sheltered gentlewoman. Or is it? Never underestimate a woman with a mission and a mule.

Elizabeth of Donatello Bend (The Colplatschki Chronicles)

Elizabeth won. Now what?

Elizabeth von Sarmas just thought things would get easier. Now she’s faced with managing her late enemy’s lands and winning its residents back to the Babenburgs, while finding out where all the estate’s money went. While balancing diplomatic duties, her vows as a poltulant of Godown, and learning how to command men in formal battle. The Eastern Empire’s enemies don’t intend to let her rest. And while she makes some new friends, she also earns the hatred of an enemy far more dangerous than anyone can imagine.

No even Snowy the Killer Mule is going to be able to keep her out of trouble this time. Trust in Godown—but keep a loaded crossbow.

Pam Uphoff

Dancer (Wine of the Gods)

A year ago, Rael Withione was one of the elite. A Presidential Guard. Now she’s a handicapped hero, going home to finish her recuperation, and hoping to achieve average. She wasn’t planning on dealing with a new illegal drug nor a murder that is much too close to home.

R. Modena & A.C. Extarian

United Fleet: The Right Place

The year is Ct2293 and humanity’s advancement has started to expand to the stars. Earth’s last military has made a discovery that is deemed impossible – potentially rocking everything humanity has known. United Fleet scientist Ensign Sharyn Cameron is put to the case when she meets Judas Extarian, a guard working in a nearby Ci-Tek building. Extarian’s boredom with his life and work comes to an end when Ensign Cameron comes to him for help with a problem – and both of them end up with more questions that neither of them can answer. Clues point to the building that Extarian is tasked to guard. To get the answers might cost them both everything they’ve worked for in their lives, especially when the only other guard dies under suspicious circumstances. Maybe New Adelaide isn’t as boring as Extarian thought it was.

This book is also available through Lulu.

After the Scythe (Scythefall)

The town’s denizens thought they’d witnessed the worst in humanity when all hell broke loose on the night the president announced the imminent arrival of the asteroid Scythe. Four weeks later, after Scythefall killed almost a third of the nation, they are about to find out just how wrong they were. After the Scythe is the story of every day people’s sacrifice and resolve in a struggle against desperation, violence and lawlessness.

The Seals of Abgal (A Guardians of the Seals Tale)

Bookstore owner and novice antiquarian Sebastian Kaine is proud of his new profession and even prouder still of the collection of antique books on the occult that he keeps locked away in the basement of his bookstore. But his little utopia is shattered one night when he wakes up in that same basement, bound and bloodied, and his prized collection all but destroyed.

Making matters worse are the two strange men responsible for the carnage. They want The Seals of Abgal and insist Sebastian is in possession of it. Though he denies having any knowledge of the book, Sebastian soon finds himself at the receiving end of a brutal interrogation – one, he fears, he may not survive.

As he tries to stay alive, Sebastian discovers that The Seals of Abgal is far more than just an ordinary grimoire. It holds powerful secrets, secrets that are older than time itself, and the men searching for it are no ordinary thugs.

But then, Sebastian is no ordinary bookseller.
