Hell’s Dodo by Tamara Lowery

July 29, 2016 By Charlotte Holley Leave a Comment

Author Tamara Lowery has a taste for roughness in Hell’s Dodo, the 5th in the {Adult Only} Waves of Darkness series – the saga of the pirate turned vampire Viktor Brandewyne. If you’ve followed the series, Viktor is venturing farther afield in his mission to visit the seven Sisters of Power and continue to exist. If you’re a vampire/pirate/mythical fan, this series is for you!

Check out Hell’s Dodo by Tamara Lowery at

http://gypsyshadow.com/TamaraLowery.html#Dodo

Viktor Brandewyne finds himself tasked with finding the most flighty of the Sisters of Power. He tracks her from New England to the ends of the earth. She sets him the task of retrieving three things as the price for a portion of her magic: a dragon’s egg, a dodo’s egg, and a drop of blood from the Daughter of the Dragon, one of the few beings capable of killing him.

Lady Carpathia has her own agenda concerning Viktor. Though she comes to realize just how dangerous he is, she still hopes to seduce and use him to overthrow her master before she ultimately destroys the pirate-turned-vampire.

Fraught with danger, Viktor’s chances of surviving this quest are almost as slim as those of him completing it. How can he acquire the eggs of a mythical beast or of a creature that has been extinct for nearly a century?

July 29, 2016 By Charlotte Holley Leave a Comment

S. R. Jaborsky spins this tale Ti, the first in the Seron Ti series (the second, Ti Hypershear will be released in the fall of 2016), by taking the reader back in time to the 1940s, the time of World War II, and forward in evolution to a race whose development has paralleled Earth’s humans in many ways. If you like Sci-Fi, venture into this one!

Ti by S. R. Jaborsky

http://gypsyshadow.com/SRJaborsky.html#Ti

Seron Ti’s military prowess was equaled only by her achievements made in the areas of science. However, her Travels for the advancement of The Chronicles of Dahr and the veneration of All were unsurpassed by any other Dahren Traveler. On this day she was to be celebrated by the Encyclopedians and indeed the entire Citizenry. But Seron held a secret. She must openly defy the Encyclopedians and institute chaos in the Hall. And she must escape Dahr.

Blain had been through hell. Employed by Worldwide Newsgroup, he was recovering at home from injuries while covering one of the damned wars. He glanced at his Pulitzer Medal for Journalism. Did it really mean anything? He was cynical and burned out. He didn’t know that 3 golden discs were about to lead to the most incredible journey of his life. And he would be unable to report it to anyone.

After the Martians by Steven R. Southard

July 29, 2016 By Charlotte Holley Leave a Comment

Some authors have a special talent for taking the reader on a journey across space and time – in After the Martians, a tale from the What Man Hath Wrought Series, Steven R. Southard takes the reader to a world of science fiction, an alternate reality where Earth is in the midst of the first world war – with the added twist of an invasion by the Martians being inserted into history.

Check out After the Martians by Steven R. Southard

http://gypsyshadow.com/StevenSouthard.html#Martians

In 1901, the Martians attacked Earth, but tiny bacteria vanquished them. Their advanced weaponry lay everywhere—three-legged fighting machines, heat rays, and poison gas. Now, in 1917, The Great War rages across Europe but each side uses Martian technology.

Join Corporal Johnny Branch, a young man from Wyoming, as he pursues his dream to fight for America. Follow magazine photographer Frank Robinson while he roams the front lines, hoping to snap a photo conveying true American valor. Perhaps they’ll discover, as the Martians did before them, that little things can change the world.
