Description:

Start your adventures with Malja in this action-packed, post-apocalyptic fantasy!

In a parallel world destroyed by magic, one woman fights all odds to survive and find the answers behind her mysterious past.

Malja searches for the two magicians who stole her at birth, trained her to be a killing machine, and then tossed her away at ten. She wants to know why this happened and most importantly, who she really is.

But facing unrelenting challenges - crazed magicians, guitar-playing assassins, mutated beasts - she pushes through with a single-mindedness that may destroy all she holds dear.

Find out why Fictitious Chronicle called The Way of the Black Beast "incredible and impressive" and Workaday Reads called it "a great start to a series, and I can't wait to see where it goes next."

Interview with the Author

Q - So, what makes The Malja Chronicles special?

A - I’ve been a published writer for almost 20 years, and the most exciting time has been in the last few years. The doors have been blown wide open, allowing writers like me to mix and mash genre in ways that weren’t acceptable a decade ago. So, when I set out to write this series, I wanted to create something that hit upon what I like most in reading. Fantasy, science fiction, wild monsters, a kick-butt heroine, fast-paced style, all rolled into one! Basically, I didn’t let old genre conventions get in my way.

The Malja Chronicles books are a great mix of these genres and more. You won’t find the old fantasy tropes here. No, sire. You'll find the series starts off more in the post-apocalyptic end -- sort of a Xena meets Mad Max vein -- and then later moves into a multiverse which really open up the possibilities!

Overall, The Malja Chronicles is meant to keep you turning the pages - and I've made sure there's never a dull moment.

Q - What order should I read the books in?

A - I’ve written the series in two story arcs. Each book is a full story in itself, but if read in order, you’ll get the bigger story arc as well. In order, they are:

- The Way of the Black Beast
- The Way of the Sword and Gun
- The Way of the Brother Gods
- The Way of the Blade
- The Way of the Power
- The Way of the Soul

Q - So, why should readers give these books a try?

A - Because The Malja Chronicles is a fast, action-packed, thrill-ride adventure! Book 1 has reached the Top 10 on several lists while the series has a whole is my bestselling series.

Ultimately, readers who enjoy high action, cool magic, strange monsters, and new wonders will get a kick out of this series.

And thanks for reading!

Description:

I don’t like new people. They don’t know the rules of my town. They poke their noses in places they shouldn't and mess things up.

That’s why when James Maddock walks into my bar, I keep my distance. He might act like a nice guy, but he spells trouble.

And that’s the last thing I need when I’ve got my life on track.

But I might not have a choice. Suddenly the tentative peace in our small town is exploding. War threatens between the gangs, and slavers and raiders lurk at our doors. To protect myself, I might have to do things I swore not to. Like trusting gang members.

Maybe even working with them.

Just so long as I don't fall in love with them, I'll be fine.

But the future is never certain--the world has ended once and it could end again.

RISE is the first book in a four-book slow burn post-apocalyptic romance series. The series ends with a happy ending.

The infected aren’t the only ones who should be feared.

Dr. Lucilla Castillo was never supposed to leave Sanctum Medical.

Accompanied by Alejandro Ramirez, a soldier with too many scars and Luna, the dog who’s followed him through hell, Luci must journey west to the only facility left that might help mass-produce the cure. But freedom has a price, and trust is a currency no one parts with easily.

Prometheus, the institution that raised and educated her, claims to serve the greater good, but as Luci digs deeper, she begins to realize that not everything is as it seems and sometimes the greatest threats come from the very people who swore to protect you.

???????????

The Hollowed is a heart wrenching tale of love, resistance, and what it means to fight for something bigger than yourself, even after everything’s already been lost.

Description:

Zombies, zombies, zombies! How does it feel to be one of the walking dead? Hunted? Not free? Never allowed to live the life you choose? Charlie Dunlap, newly infected with the zombie virus, fears he is about to find out. Charlie doesn’t want to become one of the mindless corpses at Norwood High School, where his few friends include the zombified Emma Fletcher. In this post-apocalyptic Armageddon, undead hordes are part of the horror of daily life. Just as Charlie is losing hope, though, a mysterious government agent appears at the door, raising questions about the boy’s late mother. How was the vanished scientist connected to the origin of the virus? Why was this terrible plague unleashed on the world? And who is now targeting zombies for persecution? Charlie, recruited to aid in the investigation, faces each new adventure with a dose of gallows humor and fading hope for a cure. But Charlie knows there’s more than his own fate on the line. At stake is the power to control the whole human race. Will Charlie survive? Who can he trust? In a world at war with the living dead, it’s not always easy to tell who the real monsters are. From author Geoff Camphire comes this high-flying, pulse-pounding zombie novel series, a new kind of dystopian science fiction. “CHARLIE DEAD and the So-Called Zombie Apocalypse” is Book 1 of the acclaimed CHARLIE DEAD series. PRAISE FOR ‘CHARLIE DEAD’: ‘I only put it down, temporarily, when absolutely forced to. I’m looking forward to the next installments!’ - Scott Leonard ‘A great read! Geoff Camphire puts a unique spin on the genre with fascinating characters - both of the living and zombie kind. He’s a great storyteller with writing and a plot that keeps you hooked.’ - Mary Tamberrino ‘I am fifteen. I really liked the books. I am ruthless when it comes to reviewing books and movies on my favorite subject. This more than held my interest, and that is no easy feat… I will pass the word on to my friends.’ - L. Hartley ‘In the first of Geoff Camphire’s CHARLIE DEAD young-adult zombie-lit series, life returns to a new kind of normal in a post-apocalyptic world… Camphire’s writing is crisp, and the plot and pacing are fresh and focused… I’m hungry for more!’ - Kevin S. ‘Irresistible. The story flows, the characters are vibrant, and the prose is witty!’ - Sarah ‘Never miss a ‘Walking Dead’ show? Here is the book to tide you over during those long breaks. Camphire pulls you in like the master of ghoul Stephen King and never lets you go.’ - Paula Kay ‘Light-hearted and creepy all at the same time, CHARLIE DEAD weaves through a world where zombies are a way of life, for the living and the non-living. Forget prom dates and pimples, Charlie and his friends have a zombie apocalypse to grow into.’ - Michael T. Gabriele ‘It’s as wonderfully fresh and different from any zombie literature as ‘Shaun of the Dead’ is from any zombie film!’ - T. Riordan ‘Attention YA Librarians: Geoff Camphire has written a YA-Lit book with chops. The main character, Charlie, is nicely ‘fleshed out’ as a teen with both smarts and doubts... reflective, yet quick-acting when needed. The overall scenario in which the teen finds himself is unenviable - infected with a zombie virus, and unsure of who his true allies are. The portrayals of friendships are well-crafted, and the adventures well-paced. Along side the adventures, Camphire interweaves some political and cultural themes within this new zombie world, ranging from the subtle to the profound to the laugh-out-loud-funny. I can see this being a great book-discussion book.’ - Kathryn
