Dolor and Shadow
The Seidr Cycle Book 1
by Angela B. Chrysler
Genre: High Epic Fantasy
 
A great power has awakened within Princess Kallan.
To keep the princess hidden, she is taken to Alfheim; her abilities
suppressed and her memory erased.
Years later, Kallan inherits her father’s war, and vows revenge on the
one man she believes is responsible: Rune, King of Gunir. But soon, a
twist of fate puts Kallan in protection of the man she has sworn to
kill, and Rune in possession of powers he does not understand.
Lost in the world of Men, the two must form an unlikely alliance to make
their way home and solve the mystery of their past – and of the
Shadow that hunts them both.
 
Praise for Dolor and Shadow:
“…a sweeping, epic novel… highly recommend it to all fantasy lovers.” –
Erin S. Riley, author of Odin’s Shadow
“Angela B. Chrysler has brought world building to breathtaking heights with
‘Dolor and Shadow’” – Jay Norry, Amazon Review
“This is book one in a set that has the potential to become timeless” –
Timothy Bateson, Amazon Review
 
 
 
Fire and Lies
The Seidr Cycle Book 2
 
War rips across the land of Alfheim.
As the Fae gods draw near, Queen Kallan’s strength is tested.
She follows King Rune, but the Shadow Beast caged within Rune’s body is
writhing in hunger. Kallan’s newest companion, Bergen – the
legendary Berserk – is determined to end the conflict in her life.
As the three come together, the truth buried in the past resurfaces.
Now, Kallan must master a dormant power… or watch her kingdom fall
to the Fae, who will stop at nothing to keep their lies.

They are big, strong and silent. Their faces are hidden behind masks and

in the middle of the night and have been holding me in isolation for
months. I don’t fully understand the purpose of my captivity. No one
explains anything to me. No one even talks to me.
Nearly driven to madness with no more hope for freedom,
I no longer care if I live or die.
And then he speaks to me. Just a few words . . . He throws me a lifeline
and helps me find my way back to sanity. He becomes my only

A rebel and a convicted criminal, he has spent most of his existence
suspended between two worlds, in a state his kind call Deep Sleep.
Nearly forgotten by all.
Until I disturb his slumber.
The touch of a demon awaken is always dangerous.
And for me, it turns out treacherous in more ways than one.
I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN.

Thirteen Nocturnes – Book Tour and Giveaway

The Book DragonLeave a comment
Thirteen Nocturnes
by Oliver Sheppard
Genre: Gothic, Dark Poetry
 
Combining lush Gothic lyricism with postmodern experimentation, Oliver
Sheppard’s second collection of verse, Thirteen Nocturnes, presents a
nightmare vision of a world in the grip of apocalypse and shadow–a
world where “a nighttime of years never-ending” becomes “a
darkness severe and unbending,” and where life is relentlessly
“gathered up against the towering shadow of decay.” Taking
cues from the dark Romanticism of Poe, the decadent Symbolism of
Baudelaire, and the apocalyptic tradition of William Blake–as well
as the existential doominess of 20th century cosmic horror–Oliver
Sheppard’s Thirteen Nocturnes presents a verse vision of collapse,
announcing a cold poetics of disintegration in the new dark age of
the Anthropocene. 
“Reading Sheppard’s poetry is a little like listening to a conversation
between Nietzsche and William Blake during a showing of Peckinpah’s
Cross of Iron. Using a wide range of forms and cultural references,
Sheppard illustrates the human condition in ways that take as much
account of its absence as its presence… Given the chance, Sheppard
will lead you down dark and unfamiliar paths, to moments of weird
beauty.” –from the foreword by John Foster
 
 
Oliver Sheppard was born in Nashville, Tennessee, and lives in Texas.
Critical reviews of his poetry collections have been kind: “Like
listening to a conversation between Nietzsche and William Blake while
watching Peckinpah’s ‘Cross of Iron’,” reviews of his first
book, Destruction: Text I, claimed. Garnering accolades from academia
and punk zines alike, Sheppard’s work takes cues from the cosmic
fatalism of Lovecraft and Thomas Ligotti, and combines that with the
lush, Gothic lyricism of the Dark Romanticist tradition.
“Sheppard’s THIRTEEN NOCTURNES is gothic in every sense of the word; from the
writing style, the themes, to Oliver’s own influences. Without a
doubt, this bountiful collection raises the bar for contemporary
gothic poetry. It’s rare in this day and age to find poetry written
in a manner as sophisticated and profound as this. But
here, Sheppard combines a down-to-earth modernism with older styles
that make for a fanciful and unique experience for the reader.”–Sar
Blackthorn, CVLT Nation

Bayou Vows – Book Tour and Giveaway

The Book DragonLeave a comment
Bayou Vows
The Bayou Bachelors #3
by Geri Krotow
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Pub Date: 1/8/2019
 
Not even the wildest Bayou Bachelor of all can resist the right woman.
 

Jeb DeVillier has a lot of explaining to
do. True, he did steal millions from the sailboat business he ran
with his partner, Brandon, and disappear to South America. But Jeb
has a good reason—Brandon’s sister, Jena Boudreaux. A decade ago,
she broke his heart when she chose career over their relationship.
Still, when he learns she’s being held for ransom by drug dealers,
he doesn’t hesitate. He’ll save her life, no matter what the danger.
When Jena called Jeb out of the blue, it
was to ask him to give her last words to her family. She knew the
risks when she took one final mission for the CIA. Suddenly, Jeb’s
riding to the rescue like her own personal Cajun knight. Yet now that
they’re both safe in New Orleans, he refuses to give her a second
chance.
That’s not good enough for
Jena. Because when you find someone crazy enough to risk everything
for you, the only sane thing to do is to hang on tight . . .
 
 
Bare  Devotion
The Bayou Bachelors #2
Sweet and sultry, hot and wild…that’s desire, Louisiana-style. And
there’s no one better to explore it with than one of the Bayou Bachelors…
Returning to her
flooded New Orleans home to face Henry Boudreaux, the man she jilted
at the altar, is the hardest thing attorney Sonja Bosco has ever
done—even before she discovers she’s pregnant. Sonja backed out
of the marriage for Henry’s sake. He wants to be part of his
father’s law firm, and his parents will never approve of an
interracial marriage. Better to bruise his heart than ruin his life.

Henry can’t forgive
Sonja, and doubts that he can trust her again. But learning that
they’re going to be parents means there’s no avoiding each other.
Springtime on the bayou is already steamy enough…now they’re
living in the same small space while their damaged house is repaired.
And with each passing day they’re getting a little more honest. A
lot more real. And realizing that nothing—not even New Orleans at
Mardi Gras—glows brighter than the desire they’re trying to deny…
 
 
 
Fully Dressed
The Bayou Bachelors #1
 
There’s nowhere hotter than the South, especially with three men who know how
to make the good times roll. But one of the Bayou Bachelors is about
to meet his match…
New York City stylist Poppy Kaminsky knows that image is everything,
which is why she’s so devastated when hers is trashed on social
media—after a very public meltdown over her cheating fiancé. Her
best friend’s New Orleans society wedding gives her the chance hide
out and lick her wounds…
Brandon Boudreaux is in no mood to party. His multi-million dollar sailboat
business is in danger of sinking thanks to his partner’s sudden
disappearance—with the company’s funds. And when he rolls up to
his estranged brother’s pre-wedding bash in an airboat, a
cold-as-ice friend of the bride looks at him like he’s so much
swamp trash.
The last person Poppy should get involved with is the bad boy of the
Boudreaux family. But they have more in common than she could ever
imagine—and the steamy, sultry New Orleans nights are about to show
her how fun letting loose can be…
“New Orleans serves as a strong supporting character in Fully Dressed as
Krotow gives an inside view on the sights, sounds, and tastes of the bayou.” —RT Book Reviews

Friends List
by Rob Watson
Genre: Suspense, Thriller
 
My friends are being slaughtered one by one. Decapitated. Burned alive.
Chopped to pieces.
The hooded killer has vowed to keep murdering people I care about until
they’re all dead, their profile pics on social media replaced with
photos of their mutilated bodies. The police can’t catch him. They
have no leads.
The horror is making the visions come back—the fire that took my
parents, leaving my twin Alex and me alive, but broken.
The hooded killer won’t stop until I’m completely shattered. He’ll
eat away at my mind, heart, and soul until there’s nothing left. No
one left to love, no one left to trust, and nothing I can be sure is real.
Dr. Cross thinks a trip back to the place my parents died will stop the
visions. Alex is afraid it’s a trap.
But I know the hooded killer won’t hurt me. That’s not his game.
His game is much deeper. Much darker.

The Book DragonLeave a comment
Beyond the Shadows
by Loree Lough
Genre: Romantic Suspense
 
Elice Glasser is a widow with three young children to raise. Cabot Murray
is an ex-cop who returns home to Freeland, Maryland, to deal with the
pain of his own tragic loss: the death of his wife and daughter in a
fiery explosion intended for him.
Grieving, their sorrow brings them together, and a friendship develops that
leads then to explore the possibility of finding love again. But
vengeful enemies and jealous rivals are determined to destroy the
peace and happiness that Elice and Cabot have found in each other’s
arms. Why are their rivals so intent on keeping Elice and Cabot
apart? Loree Lough’s latest suspenseful romance is a page-turner!
 
 
At last count, best-selling author Loree Lough had 115 award-winning
books (nearly 9,000,000 copies in circulation and 7 titles that
earned book-to-movie options), 68 short stories, and 2,500+ articles
in print.
An oft-invited guest of writers’ organizations, colleges and
universities, corporate and government agencies in the U.S. and
abroad, Loree loves sharing learned-the-hard-way lessons about the
craft and the industry.
Once upon a time, Loree (literally) sang for her supper, performing alone
and “opening” for the likes of Tom Jones, Dottie West, The
Gatlin Brothers, and more. Though she refuses to share the actual
year when she traded her Yamaha 6-string for a wedding ring, she IS
willing to admit that, every now and then, she blows the dust off her
six-string to croon a tune or two. But mostly, she just writes (and
writes).
Loree and her husband split their time between a home in the Baltimore
suburbs and a cabin in the Allegheny Mountains, where she continues
to hone her “identify the critter tracks” skills. Her
favorite pastime? Spending long, leisurely hours with her
grandchildren…all seven of them!

The Book Dragon1 Comment
Knowing God
by Donald Allen Kirch
Genre: Fantasy Romance
 
Nathan Andrews was a good man.
It came as quite a surprise to him that he wanted to die.
After a “botched” attempt to commit suicide, Nathan is haunted by
the mysterious image of a woman, during a Near Death Experience. She
was “perfect” and everything a man would seek within a life
partner. With the simple utterance “Go back!” she forever
conquered his heart.
Leaving a mental hospital after that, Nathan runs into an odd woman named
Amanda. She barely knows English, doesn’t recognize the simple
things, and finally confesses an all-important truth to him:
She…is GOD!
After some subtle convincing of the claim, and confronted by
a winged man named “Gabriel,” Nathan accepts this fantastic reality.
A reality that will change his world, and the world of
Mankind…FOREVER!

I’m a young author from Chicago, I’m hoping to bring some new heat
and sizzle to the romance genre.
My favorite genres are paranormal and dark romance. I love reading a
good book but I’m so busy in life that I only get to enjoy audio
books. Its the only way I can get lost in a good book nowadays. And
you know what? I half prefer an audio book over print any day! I
have a long standing membership at Audible.com and I plan to
publish audio books for busy bookworms like myself! Yay!
My love of writing started when a friend of mine encouraged me to write
a short story and just see what happens. Turns out I had a knack for
writing because everyone loved my short stories. From then on I have
worked on improving my craft. Growing  from flash fictions
to novellas. I am really looking forward to sharing all the twisty
goodness I have planned!
Thank you & Much love and Sizzle!

Godeena
by Stjepan Varesevac-Cobets
Genre: SciFi Adventure
 
Major Henry Broncon miraculously survives a battle with Ansker soldiers on
the planet Morad. He is found under a pile of corpses, the only
survivor; his best friend and the whole of his brigade remain in the
field of death. Broncon is fully acquitted, receives a medal for
bravery and is promoted to the rank of Brigadier, but he cannot
forgive himself and he feels responsible for falling into the Ansker trap.
Shortly after, the Anskers are beaten and the war ends. The winning
terrestrial colonies receive ownership of a system called Naude,
comprised of various planets including Godeena. On the surface of
Godeena, there is a huge, completely preserved but uninhabited city
that scientists have named the Absolute. Analysis of the city reveals
no signs of life. A team of scientists is sent to investigate what
has happened to the people and animals of Absolute. A few days later
the team is attacked and contact with the scientists is lost. The
General Staff sends two teams of Special Forces to find out what has
happened to the expedition but they also disappear, leaving no trace.
The Commander of the General Staff, General Hensell, is personally
involved with the mystery. He requests Brigadier Henry Broncon to
gather a unit, composed of the worst inmates from the inescapable
prison, Hades, to investigate what is happening on Godeena. Henry
accepts this task and collects 17 prisoners, each with unique skills.
Among them is Maria, who possesses enormous psychic powers and has a
wicked second personality called Kir.
The unusual team of criminals, led by Broncon, travels to Godeena to
discover what terrors await them there.

in over a dozen venues including Tales to Terrify, Strangely Funny,

writer, he also writes science fiction, poetry and satire. 
His writing style has been described as “Darkly cynical” and
“Quirky and highly readable” and David can’t bring himself
to disagree with either of those statements.
Growing up in the UK in the eighties, David’s earliest influences were the
books of Stephen King and Clive Barker, and the films of John

have had a profound effect on his psyche.

David works as a Software Developer and lives in Coventry with his
wife, three cats and an ever-growing beard. David’s wife once asked
him if he’d write about how great she was. David replied that he
would, because he specialized in short fiction. Despite that, they
are still married.

You’re Not Alone
Whispers Series Book 1
by Nance Newman
Genre: Paranormal Mystery
 
When you’re dead, you’re dead. That’s it. Nothing more. At least
that’s what Quinn O’Reilly thinks until she starts hearing
whispers after losing the love of her life to cancer. Quinn either
has to start believing in an afterlife or admit that her own sanity
is in jeopardy. As a battle begins for her beloved’s estate,
threatening her with financial ruin, the voices intensify. 
To make them stop, Quinn and her best friend Chaz follow an unlikely mix
of characters into the world of spirits, ghosts and specters. What
they must do to unravel the mystery of the whispers tests Quinn’s
belief system in every way. Can the dead really reach out from the
other side? Can Quinn open her mind enough to help her and her dead
lover? Is it okay to commit a crime for a greater purpose? And what
is appropriate attire for a séance or digging up a grave?
 
 
Bad Man, Bad Ghost
Whispers Series Book 2
 
Finding clues in the shoes of a dead man in a coffin wasn’t what Quinn
thought she would do when she became a mortician. She also didn’t
expect the bodies that entered her funeral home to have lived their
lives as bad men or to whisper their requests to her—not only
demands that she has to fulfill to get them to stop, but ones that
might lead her to commit acts on the wrong side of the law.
The spirit of a mob boss has entered Quinn O’Reilly’s funeral parlor
and his whispers drag her into a world of criminals, secrets and
lies. Once again, she enlists the help of her friends—Andjela, a
communicator with the dead, Mr. Princeton, a professor of Egyptian
studies at the local university, Chester, the owner of the town
cemetery and Chaz, her best friend and assistant—to find the clues
that will lead her to what the dead man wants. She realizes that she
can’t answer the whispers alone which force her to put her friends
in danger. 
Soon she finds it’s not only the dead Mafia boss that wants something
from her, but so does his wife, his mistress and strange, dark men in
dark suits.
To make matters worse, Quin is realizing that the whispers of spirits
aren’t going to go away. Neither is the specter that still haunts
her apartment.
 
 
Dirty Wrong
Whispers Series Book 3
 
Eleanor’sspirit is doing a lot of griping in Quinn’s funeral home. She was
the wife of a member of the Mafia who was murdered several years
prior and now she wants something from Quinn. Her best friend
nicknamed her “Mafia magnet” since this is the second spirit to
contact her who is connected to the mob. She knows she is destined to
a life of answering their ghostly requests but she wonders if all the
spirits that contact her will always be on the wrong side of the law.
Once again, Quinn must put her friends in danger to help her decipher the
clues Eleanor’s spirit has communicated to them. It leads them to
the now defunct, dark, and foreboding subway tunnels beneath the city
where they discover they’re not the only one’s searching for
whatever Eleanor has hidden. There’s a war going on in the tunnels
and they can’t tell who’s winning—the ghosts or the Mafia. What
will happen if the war in the tunnel keeps them from finding the
answers to Eleanor’s clues? Will the price they have to pay for
being in the middle of it be too much for Quinn to handle? 
 
 
Sound Travels
Whispers Series Book 4
 
Once again, Quinn hears the whispers of the dead, but when it follows her
on a trip to New York City with Andjela and Chaz to help her parents
find a missing girl, Quin realizes the whisper is that of the missing
girl, Sofia. 
The niece of Eleanor, the last spirit to elicit Quinn’s help, Sofia had
somehow gotten mixed up in her family’s Mafia mess. Now she is
dead. 
Quinn summons Mr. Princeton and Chester to New York City to help them
communicate with Sofia. Together, they must follow the clues to find
Sofia’s body and the cause of her death.
Who is really responsible for the murder of a young girl? What was Sofia
hiding that got her killed? Will Quinn and her friends find her and
what it was she was hiding?
And why are there two different black SUV’s that show up where ever
they are?
Follow Quinn, Andjela, Mr. Princeton, Chester and Chaz into two very
menacing worlds-that of the Mafia and of the dead, and discover the
newest hiding spot—a very large hole in Brooklyn.
 
 
 
I live in upstate New York with my two dogs; a 17 year old Min Pin
(Zeus) and a female dog I recently rescued from the Puerto Rico
hurricanes (I have been learning Spanish and she is learning
English!). Her name is Ela and she is a joy.
I have been writing in some form or other since high school when I
bought my first guitar (a 12 string for $50 from one of those
magazines my mother used to receive in the mail) and began writing
songs. In college, I started my first novel that I hope to go back to
and finish someday.
I currently work for a school district in transportation as a router
and dispatcher where I use software to solve the puzzle of getting
5600 students to many different schools, but my goal is to become a
full time writer of novels and music. I try to fit writing in with my
full time job and hobbies that include biking, gardening, hiking,
kayaking and watching movies (lots of them and all kinds)
I continue to write songs and perform with Dooley(my music partner) We
have a CD of original songs and it is available for your enjoyment.
Visit me at nancenewman.com to check it out.
I am really excited to share my work with you, and some days you might
see me driving a big yellow school bus.
