Violets Spring: An Ann Kinnear Suspense Short","

Some confessions don't need a priest—just someone who can hear the dead.

Childhood memories flood Ann Kinnear as she enters St. Andrew's on the night before Easter. But this time, she's a hired hand with a mysterious assignment. When she learns what that assignment is, she's pretty sure she's not the person ordained for the job--but she finds her shaky confidence in human nature bolstered by the tale that unfolds against a backdrop of misplaced guilt and the true meaning of faithfulness.

Not a traditional Easter story ... and likely not the right pick for readers looking for Christian lit!

An Ann Kinnear Suspense Short from Matty Dalrymple, author of the Ann Kinnear Suspense Novels, beginning with THE SENSE OF DEATH, and the Lizzy Ballard Thrillers.

An acerbic, entertaining caper of evolution, gangsters, Darwin’s brain, and the Golden Age of Hollywood.

When Sonya Orlova, a successful 1930s horror-film actress, crosses paths with a gorilla whose brain has been swapped for the frozen cerebrum of the late Charles Darwin, the two are inspired to write and produce evolution-themed monster movies—with Sonya in her greatest role, Korgora the Ape Woman!

As this offbeat and controversial Hollywood series finds a devoted cult audience, Sonia’s relationship with her strange simian collaborator acquires an intensity neither could have imagined.

Then disaster strikes, as zealous opponents to Darwin’s ideas contrive to put the Ape Woman out of business.

By turns satiric and romantic, madcap and thoughtful, Behold the Ape is at once an outré love story, a tribute to classic monster movies, and a science-fictional celebration of that beleaguered institution we call public education.

“James Morrow is a wildly imaginative and generous novelist who plays hilarious games with grand ideas.”—New York Times book review

“Watch out for James Morrow: He’s magic.”—The Washington Post

“It’s called satire, and James Morrow does it brilliantly.”—SF Site

"For decades, James Morrow served as one of the great satirists in our field. Behold the Ape shows he's still in peak form … ."—Analog

Illegal guns. Dangerous old-ladies. Now a dead body. Angela’s life is getting more complicated by the minute.

A boring life is not in Angela’s future, with her being a black market guns dealer. Tripping over a dead-body is now bringing a lot more attention from law enforcement than she cares to have.

If only she could get control of the Silver Hair Gang, and their quest to find the killer themselves. Angela is running out of time to secure her next arms deal, and save her family from an unknown killer.

Wes

My life is falling apart.

Which is when we realize.

He’s the something we’ve been missing.

Phe lives a dual life.

Everyone knows Phe as the sickly best friend of Her Grace, Kyra Theonora, the last Water Nymph duty bound by a familial oath to protect the island country of Xafara. Only a select group of people are aware of Phe's shadow side. Trained by General Bastion to be an assassin and Kyra's secret weapon.

Everything changes when Kyra is abducted, exposing Phe's cover and acting as a catalyst to Phe's own bound magic, thrusting Phe into a world she'd thought a fantasy.

As Phe maneuvers the unfamiliar landscape of magic, grappling with one obstacle after another, she tries to figure out how to save her best friend. Will she survive this new magical world? Will she rescue Kyra? Will she sacrifice herself in the process?

Spark is the first book in a new adult fantasy series featuring action packed scenes, compelling characters, and a strong heroine.

It's the beginning of a fierce, character-driven fantasy series where power, loyalty, and magic collide.

For fans of Sarah J. Maas, Elise Kova, and Shelby Mahurin—

Spark is about surviving the unsurvivable and fighting for what matters—even if it feels like a lost cause. Even if everyone seems against you. It's the first in a character-driven series where pain and darkness aren't the end, but the beginning of finding your power.

If Spark leaves you with anything, I hope it's this:

You're not broken. Your pieces are just being rearranged into something stronger.

What would you do if you had nothing to lose?

Angela has reached the end of her rope. Bills are piling up, money is sparse, and her two-timing ex-husband traded her in for a “Barbie” lookalike. Depression and lack of hope put her in a world filled with never-ending pain, and when she loses the one thing she has left—her will to live—she knows there’s nothing left to go back to. Until an unexpected knock on her door wakes her up.

The lonely, sad cat lady comes face to face with a new and exciting opportunity, if only she grabs the bull by the horns and accepts. When she does, she learns of a crazy family secret, but she also finds a way to save herself, and the people she loves most.

The Cat Lady Special is a story of second chances, discovering your inner savior, and of finding hope in the most unexpected places. It will appeal to fans of “How Stella Got her Groove Back” and “Breaking Bad.”

The one he wants is the only one he can't control.

Ravi

When my parents were killed, I went to live with Liam.

When I turned eighteen, I tried to tell him I loved him.

It ended badly. Now, years later, we can't stand each other.

He’s overbearing, controlling, and lately he tracks my every move.

I can’t take it anymore.

I’ve saved some cash working as a companionship escort, but it’s not enough to escape.

I decide to auction myself off. It’ll give me the money I need to leave this town—and Liam—in my past.

Except nothing goes to plan, and my escape goes up in smoke.

Liam

I’m not a good man. I’m certainly not one who should be charged with someone else's care.

But I promised my friend—Ravi’s safety is my priority.

Even if I’m protecting him from me.

But the more I work to keep him out of danger, the harder he rebels.

The harder he rebels, the harsher my punishments.

Then I discover his ridiculous, harebrained auction plan.

If I can’t stop the auction, I have little choice.

Ravi will not become a stranger’s plaything.

Not while I have a plan of my own.

His Father's Best Friend is a dark MM, enemies-to-lovers, kink awakening romance with an HEA. It features a tortured hero who’s met his match in the sunshiny male escort he’s been charged with protecting. This story also contains consensual non-monogamy (after all, sharing is caring).

This book definitely contains some subject matter which will not be to some readers' tastes. Please see the book's about page or the author's web site.

CHILDREN OF ETERNITY IS AVAILABLE NOW WHEREVER BOOKS ARE SOLD!

On the world of Eridu, false gods known as the Baltutu have ruled for millennia. Humans live in a carefully constructed garden of order—free from crime, poverty, and pestilence. A person's place in society is assured from birth but at the expense of art, curiosity, and self-determination. Peace and stability are bought by the sacrifice of the human spirit.

Now, heresy threatens to unravel the Baltutu's meticulously crafted world. Holindrian, under the guidance of the enigmatic Uilliam, seeks to ignite the revolutionary spirit thought long extinguished. Together with his friend and confidant, Maaschuel, he will challenge the tyranny of false gods, and awaken humanity's forgotten destiny.

With echoes of ancient myths and cosmic forces stirring, Holindrian & The Human Revolution offers an intricate blend of science fiction and historical myth, immersing readers in a richly detailed world teeming with complex cultures, powerful revolutions, and a timeless struggle for freedom. This epic adventure challenges the boundaries between fate and free will, power, and morality, and invites readers on a journey of cosmic wonder and profound personal transformation.
