Lying in Ruins

In a world gone to hell, better to choose the devil you know…

The world didn’t end in fire and explosions, instead after an intensifying panic of disease, food shortages, wild weather, and floundering economies, it collapsed like slow falling dominoes, until what remained of humanity battles for survival in a harsh new reality.

As a ‘Hound, Charity puts the lethal survival skills learned at an early age to use by sniffing out pivotal secrets for one of the most powerful leaders on what remains of the west coast. Her work is deceptive, deadly, and best performed solo, but when her path crosses with a member of the notorious mercenary group known as Fate’s Vultures, she’s faced with a less than stellar choice – join the sexy as hell Ruin in a mockery of teamwork or waste her valuable time shaking him loose.

As one of Fate’s Vultures, a nomadic band of ruthless arbitrators, Ruin knows well the type of carnage created by the corruption and greed of what remains of humanity, so when he rides into a brutal murder scene and discovers his friend has been taken hostage, he’ll use whatever resources he can to save him. Even if one of those resources is a damn ‘Hound who’s clearly trouble. Trouble, Ruin knows he should avoid, especially since the suspicious circumstance of Charity’s involvement leaves every cell of his body skeptical – and painfully aroused.

But Fate has other plans, especially when Ruin and Charity realize they have a common enemy. Can they set aside their distrust to achieve their mutual goal of justice and revenge?

Sometimes, it’s better to stick with the devil you know…

No Place To Hide

This is the third book in the First Wave Series of post-apocalyptic thrillers by author JT Sawyer. As Travis Combs and his band of fighters head for the secret lab in Durango, they face the convergence of powerful forces bent on securing the vaccine. With a traitor in their midst, and with the emerging threat of faster moving zombies, he must lead his weary group through the mountains and take the battle to his enemy.

Intrusion Protocol

Five AI. One mind. Zero mercy.

Technical Specialist Kerry Sevvers commands hundreds of combat drones through the AI cluster in his neural implant, making him the Autonomous Weapons Division’s deadliest operator against alien raiders. But his secret weapon is also his greatest crime. Six is an unsanctioned intelligence with no safety protocols, no oversight, and one obsession: finding Sev’s mother, taken by raiders sixteen years ago.

Six is illegal. Six is unpredictable. And when everything goes wrong, Six is his only hope.

When a Marine rescue mission uncovers an ancient derelict beyond the frontier, Sev discovers the raiders serve the Concordat—humanity’s forgotten nightmare, who transform captured colonists into daxed: cyborg slaves stripped of everything but obedience. As his sanctioned AI fall to alien corruption, Sev must choose: upload Six directly into his neural implant, or watch his team die. But Six wasn’t built to follow rules. It was built for revenge.

The Division says unsanctioned AI will destroy humanity. But when your enemy turns humans into weapons, the only way to win is to unleash what they fear most.

INTRUSION PROTOCOL launches the Autonomous Weapons Division trilogy, military SF where the battlefield is neural, the enemy is evolution, and the most dangerous weapon is the one inside your head. Perfect for readers of Marko Kloos, James S.A. Corey, and John Scalzi.

The Undercover Witch

From the Magic & Mixology world by USA Today bestselling author Gina LaManna…

My mother says trouble began the day I was born, but I’d disagree.
I think trouble started the day I crashed my broomstick into an undercover cop car.

My name is Ainsley Shaw, and I’m a Guardian Witch. The title sounds fancier than it is—really, I’m a glorified bodyguard for magical people. I love my job, and I’m good at it… most days. Except today. While I was flying around town on my broomstick thinking about life, love, and the latest episode of The Bachelor, I zoned out and ran smack dab into the taillights of a speeding police cruiser.

Unfortunately, the man inside was a human cop, which made explaining how I appeared from thin air in the middle of a crime scene a bit of a challenge. Now, the police think I’m trouble—not least of all Detective Hotterson, the one responsible for denting my shiny new broomstick. Which means that if I can’t find the real bad guys before I’m put in jail, I’ll be locked away for a crime I didn’t commit. However, when magic is involved, things are never as simple as they appear…

This is a full length, humorous cozy mystery complete with magic, romance, and suspense. So grab your broomstick, hold on tight, and join Ainsley for the ride!

Interview with the Author

Q: Is this story a prepper guide?

A: No. There are things these families do along the way to prepare for what lies ahead—and some practical advice, I am told by my readers. There are plenty of other books that are dedicated to prepping.

Q: Are these people Navy Seals, Special Forces, or hardcore preppers?

A: No. The point of the story is to imagine what average people would do when faced with the loss of everyday technology. The characters are us, all of us—flawed, good, bad, tough, and weak; tenacious, resourceful, hopeful, caring, and ruthless when needed. What would ordinary families do when faced with no electricity, no cell phones, no grocery-store food, no online deliveries or trash service, running water, heat, air conditioning, few running vehicles, and no appreciable law enforcement? What are their limits? What are yours?

Q: I heard there is praying in your books. I don’t like to be preached to.

A: Yes, there is some praying in my books, as I believe those who are in danger daily tend to sort out their beliefs rather quickly. No, there is no preaching, as I am not qualified to do so.

Q: What am I getting out of this 7-volume series?

A: An epic story and wild ride, from Volume 1 all the way through Volume 7. This series may make you laugh, cry, contemplate, understand the risks, think about being more prepared for the unknown, tell your family you love them more, be thankful for all we have in this crazy, adventurous world—and, most of all, feel and dream. My hope is that you find yourself thinking of these characters long after you’ve read the last page of each book.

Q: Is there a dog in this series?

A: Of course! There are two: Ringo and Mini. Don’t worry; as a fellow author once said, “Never kill the dog!”

Q: What do you do with bad reviews?

A: I read them to my kids and we all have a good laugh.
