New Release Books

Today’s first Featured New Release is Left To Darkness: The Oblivion #1 ($4.99 Kindle), by Craig Saunders [DarkFuse].

Book Description
A meteor strikes the Earth. Dirt and dust fill the air. Only a few people remain under the setting skies, and those who still live find it’s not God’s England anymore.

It’s the Devil’s turn.

Lines are drawn between the dark and light. For the darkness, James Finley and his cult for the end of days. On the side of light, Paul Deacon, the lost policeman, and Dawn Graves, the last mother.

To survive, they must put their lives in one man’s hands: Frank Liebowicz, a killer with a soft spot for lost causes. Because come Armageddon, God won’t choose his champions.

They’ll choose themselves.

From the Author
Left to Darkness, published by DarkFuse, is the first volume in the Oblivion Series. It is a large, apocalyptic tale, told small – not a story of viral infections or outbreaks of the undead, but the oldest of ends – Armageddon itself.

I hope you enjoy the story. Search for ‘Purple Buddha’ for a bonus short story concerning one of the main characters, Frank Liebowicz. Sign up to the publisher’s site (or mine) for news of the second volume, and find out what happens to those left behind. Thanks, as always, for reading.

Today’s second Featured New Release is Sin and Swoon: Blood and Bone #2 ($3.99 Kindle), by Tara Brown [Montlake Romance].

Book Description
Not even the warning label on the experimental project could have prepared Jane Spears for the nightmare she would walk into when the Ashley Potter case landed in her lap. Deep inside the victim’s mind, Jane finds clues hinting at the worst crimes she has ever come upon. But the bread crumbs don’t lead anywhere, and in the waking light Jane discovers nothing is as she believed. The conspiracy goes deeper than she can reveal, and the crimes are too hideous to leave unsolved. Can she stop it all in time, or will she be sucked in—trapped by the deranged mastermind?

About the Author

In addition to her futuristic Born Trilogy stories and her nine-part Devil’s Roses fantasy series, she has published a number of popular contemporary and paranormal romances, science fiction novels, thrillers, and romantic comedies. She enjoys writing dark and moody tales involving strong lead characters, often female, who are more prone to vanquishing evil than perpetrating it.

Today’s third Featured New Release is The Book of Roads: Travel Stories from Michigan to Marrakech ($9.99 Kindle), by Phil Cousineau and Larry Habegger [Viva Editions].

Book Description
Since graduating from college with a journalism degree, Cousineau’s wanderlust has driven him to visit nearly 100 countries as a backpacker, documentary filmmaker, travel writer, photographer, and art and literary tour leader. For him, travel gives us what his mentor Joseph Campbell called “the key to the realm of the muses.”

As author of the best-selling travel book The Art of Pilgrimage, Cousineau continues to crisscross the world as a travel writer, filmmaker, and host of Global Spirit.

The Book of Roads: Travel Stories from Michigan to Marrakech is the culmination of a lifetime of travel experiences, from the steel factories of Detroit to headhunting villages in the Philippines, the war-torn villages in the Balkans to the river roads of Canada once traversed by his voyageur ancestors. His rhapsodic travel stories place him in the league of fellow travelers who are also masterful writers, such as Pico Iyer, Jack Kerouac, Jan Morris, and Beryl Markham.

All prices current at the time the post is written. Most books remain at their listed price until “midnight” (each store operates on it’s own timezone and schedule), but prices can change at any moment. I have seen prices change within the hour or even minutes after posting.
