Excerpt
From Shadows
By Kristy Centeno
“But don’t you see? They can make you forget me.” Tears slide
down my cheeks. “And they will.” I love him. It dawns on me fast and hard. I
love Mason. Loved the warrior before me. This man of power was my one true
love. The only man I ever coveted. However, in allowing myself to love him, I
committed the ultimate sin by falling for the human I was sent to earth to
guard and protect. “They know about us. It won’t be long before we are
punished, but I’m not afraid for myself. I worry about you. I can live a life
of solitude and servitude if I have to, but I can’t go on if something happens
to you.”
Excerpt
From The Boy In The Trees
By Stephanie Keyes
"I'm going home."
"You can't." Owen shakes his head.
"He's not going to stop, Jemma. He'll follow you. He'll kill anyone who
gets in his way. He'll make you think of nothing but him. Just like
Molly."
My face heats. "How do you know about
her?"
"I told you, Jemma. I know things."
"No. You're a stranger. You're probably way
more of a threat than he is."
Owen shakes his head and stalks toward me.
Impatient, gray storm clouds build in his eyes, reeling me in. Once again, I
find myself unable to turn away. Then he's close, so close. This guy has no
concept of personal space.
"Look. I don't want to do this, Jemma, but
you're leaving me no alternative."
Owen leans in, brings his lips to within an inch of
mine. Is he going to kiss me? Better yet, do I want him to? Instinctively, I
part my lips, his intense eyes holding mine hostage.

Next...Release Day for Connie L. Smith!!
Tail Lights & Teardrops
Connie L. Smith
Publisher: InkSpell Publishing
Cover Design: Najla Qambar Designs
Release Day: 10-5-2015
Bruised and battered hearts can
keep beating. But can they heal?
Preston
and Nick endured the breakup of all breakups when Nick accused her of cheating
on him. He insisted, and she denied while the rain pounded against her driveway
and thunder roared in the distance. Then they both ran—Preston to a life of
Rock & Roll, and Nick to a career in the Army.
Four
years later, they’re damaged and broken almost beyond repair. He’s carrying baggage
from his military days, and she bears the scars of living a lifestyle she’s
grown to hate.
When
Preston’s label forces her to take time away from music, their paths cross in a
parking lot not twenty-four hours after her hometown return, anger and sparks
flying in a confusing blend. But regardless of the feelings neither has been
able to shake, too many lies and secrets stand in the way of the one thing they
need in order to recover.
Each other.
About
the Author:
Connie
L. Smith spends far too much time with her mind wandering in fictional places.
She reads too much, likes to bake, and might forever be sad that she doesn’t
have fairy wings. And that she can’t swing dance. Her music of choice is
severely outdated, and as an adult she’s kind of obsessed with Power Rangers.
She has her BA from Northern Kentucky University in Speech Communication and
History (she doesn’t totally get the connection either), and is currently
working on her MA.

And finally...a book just right for the season!!!
Freaksville
Ashley Brooke Robbins
Welcome to Westera, here you’ll find
the most amazing views. This is the mountains, of course. If you look to
your left you’ll find a nice couple cuddling on the park bench. It is
chilly today, oh, wait…why is there blood coming from her neck?
Yes,
here in Westera you do get those interesting views of the beautiful
landscape. The waterfalls, the nice people. It’s a wonderful place to
reside.
What most people don’t know is…that it’s also where the freaks reside.
Hello
all, my name is Nessa and I’m a witch. My friends are vampires. We’re
not evil, at least I’m pretty sure we’re not. And I do like people…for
the most part.
Ashley’s favorite thing to write about is basically anything to do with myths, supernatural, paranormal…but upon occasion she’ll write about normal teenage life. It comes somewhat naturally to her considering she’s nineteen herself.
If the vampires or other supernatural beings still haven’t claimed her, you’ll most likely find her with her computer, working on whatever story plots invaded her mind at that time. Like most teenagers, she’s still unsure of what all she wants to do with her life. Become a marine biologist, graphic designer, editor, fashion designer? Or maybe just stick to writing, we might find out one day.
She hopes to one day travel the world, take her mom to swim with the dolphins, and let her sister finally visit Graceland. She currently lives in North Carolina with her mom, sister, and three crazy dogs who think they’re human.
You can find her on her website: http://purpleunicorns174.wix.com/talknerdytome, or on pretty much any other social media site as AshKat174. You can probably find the links to those on her website.
