About Featured Book: The Dark Secrets of Oliveto by Stefano Giovannoni
Every state in the U.S. has one…that one small town where mysterious things occur unbeknownst to most of its inhabitants…where the veil between the natural and supernatural converge.
Some say these towns are built on mystical ley lines; others say settlers from Europe brought their local superstitions and magic with them.
For Nico and his best friend Sofia, their spring break trip to his hometown of Oliveto will open their eyes to things they never thought existed; an adventure full of mysterious clues, unique beings, magic, and secrets that will change the course of their lives forever.

Gemini Rising (Mischievous Malamute Series, Book 1) by Harley Christensen
There’s a body in your alley…
Arianna Jackson—AJ to her friends—and her occasionally well-behaved Alaskan Malamute, Nicoh, live a normal, uneventful, admittedly mundane existence, where nothing out of the ordinary ever happens.
Until it does.
Early one morning, AJ stumbles upon a horrifying scene—a girl’s body lies broken in the dumpster behind her home, her face beaten and mutilated.
A secret reveals you’re living a lie…
As if that weren’t enough to upset the balance of normal, things go from bad to worse when she learns of her connection to the murdered girl. Suddenly, AJ realizes her entire life has been filled with secrets and lies.
A killer hunts for you…
Together with her trusty sidekick, Nicoh, and BFF, Leah, AJ must search for answers. But can she, when finding the truth proves to be more deadly than living the lie?
Would you search for the truth if you knew it could kill you?
Join AJ and her pals as they race to unravel the mystery of her past, where the pieces of the puzzle bring more questions than answers and the only certainty is the killer’s end game—AJ’s life.
Find your truth…

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I write books about topics and in genres that I enjoy reading. As a lifelong reader, I have always been fascinated by the written word and though I didn't pursue writing as a career until later in life (and several corporate jobs later), I have never looked back. There are always more stories to tell…
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Everyday life. Seriously, there are interesting "characters" all around us, each and every day.

Transit by J.D. Smith |
|
Transit, J.D. Smith’s debut fiction collection, ranges from Central Mexico to the Asian side of Istanbul, with stops in Houston, Chicago and Washington, DC. Working in flash fiction, the traditional short story and a series of linked stories, Smith takes on race, ethnic identity, class and disability, along with the power dynamics of how they play out in everyday life. He also skewers the pretensions of those who think they are—somehow—above the fray.
Heartbreak leads to a drunken foray into vigilante justice, and the stresses that underlie achievement in high school come to light. A brick from a nineteenth-century city hall in Illinois finds a new place in twenty-first century Texas. Commerce shapes character, but not without resistance. Smith’s fictional world has more than a little in common with other parts of the world—what some continue to call the “real world,” with all its sham and venality. Decisions made in a moment, with incomplete information and uncertain judgment, have permanent consequences. The sins of the fathers are indeed visited upon both sons and daughters.
With intelligence and compassion, as well as illuminating flashes of wit, Smith shows us how character, faith and sheer guesswork collide with circumstance. If Flannery O’Connor and Mickey Spillane had spawned a love child—whose godparents included Franz Kafka and Jorge Luis Borges—it would look a lot like Transit.
Targeted Age Group:: Adults
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Since this is a collection of short fiction, it represents a variety of inspirations spanning over twenty years. Coming from a background in poetry, in fiction I am willing to see where an interesting phrase leads me. Now and again I take actual experiences and lead them to conclusions far different from what actually happened.
For all the variety in these stories, they stem from a concern with personal agency and moral choice, as well as a desire to empathize with individuals much different from myself.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
This answer depends on the story or stories involved.
The first section is in some ways autobiographical, though with distance and a bit of self-parody. This section, like the rest of the book, remains from a memoir, though. If I'd done half the things I've written about I'd be dead or in jail. (Not much of a difference, especially since I'm the kind of person whose survival in jail could be timed with a stopwatch.)
Characters in the other sections include archetypes from fables and folklore, or products of media culture, and other characters still are composites and often parodies of categories such as art market hustlers.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
My inspiration for writing my vampire romance came in my dreams. It seems most vampire romances started with a poor girl who meets a bad vampire. For me, that just didn't cut it anymore. I started on a completely different path. A mortal man, meets and falls for a beautiful woman and he did not know that she was a vampire. From there, it just took off. I hope you enjoy my different take on vampire romance.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
It started with a dream. The dream was of a man that had been taken hostage and his girlfriend saved his life. I woke and immediately thought, what if? What if the girlfriend was a vampire? What if the man did not know it? I got up and starting writing down the outline. That was the first book, A Mortal Indiscretion and from there it just grew into Justin and Ambra's love story. The second book, Marzio's Revenge is the development of Justin's character through trials and tribulations. It is a dark, haunting story full of emotion. The third book Zeus, is a dream I have had for both Justin and Ambra. A completion of their love, full of time travel to Ancient Greece.

Land of the Noble Free by Toliver Dare |
|
The indigenous population of North America (now Vinlandia) has retained its own sovereignty avoiding European conquest. No one speaks English or as even heard of the United States of America. Tom Hathaway from 1976 Virginia finds himself stranded in Kameechee, a large nation on the coast. To survive, he must adapt to the ways of the Vinlandians and become one of them. During the next seven years, he becomes a military hero, marries the Commander’s beautiful daughter, and re-invents the airplane for the alternate history. Will the military versions of his flying machine make the difference in halting a naval attack by the evil cutthroats who bloody the waters off the eastern coast of Vinlandia? If he chooses to return home to his former history, he may never find out. If he chooses to stay, his family back home may never know what happened to him when he disappeared without a trace seven years before.
Targeted Age Group:: 15 and older
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
After learning about the Trail of Tears and watching the outdoor drama, "Unto These Hills," in Cherokee North Carolina, the author was moved to find a way to give the land (of the noble free) back to the original inhabitants. The Indian Removal Act of 1837 was arguably one of the most regrettable and cruel actions in American history. The author wanted to create an alternate history which precluded European conquest of North America.

The Stone of Radnor by Paul R Somerville |
|
The war is over, but the battle begins…
A thrilling and fast-paced story of one boys determination to seek revenge in a war ravaged land. Jaydon Riler lives in a world where the weak are easily preyed upon, but one where gods and magic guide his every turn. If you are a fan of fantasy, celtic mythology and historical fiction alike, then the Stone of Radnor is the perfect read for you.
Fourteen-year-old Jaydon sees his family murdered by warriors led by the feared warlord Landis Thornheart. The land is littered with bandits and mercenaries, and Jaydon’s life is threatened at every turn. When Jaydon finds a sword, his father’s sword, he swears to take revenge on Thornheart. Meanwhile, Thornheart, guided by the fallen god Elokar, seeks a stone, a powerful link to uncompromising power.
Jaydon seeks help, and unwittingly finds it from unexpected sources…downtrodden soldiers from the old wars, a blacksmith and a mysterious servant girl, Raven. Together they take Jaydon on a journey that he never expected, one where he encounters the dark forces in a world of myth and religious conflict, and one where he discovers family secrets kept hidden along with his true birth right.
The Stone of Radnor is a powerful tale and fine debut novel from a promising new author.
Targeted Age Group:: 13-18
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I was reading about Celtic mythology – and came across a small hamlet in Wales, near the English border called, Old Radnor. A mile or so north are four standing stones in a farmers field. No-one knows the true origin of these stones, but one story is that they were connected to the old gods.
However, it wasn't until I got further inspiration from my creative writing group that the story of Jaydon and the Stone of Radnor emerged, grew and took legs. It wasn't by design, maybe I held onto the story and the name of Radnor in my subconscious…some coincidences were meant to be.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I just wrote, the characters became themselves on the page. The more I wrote, the more they developed. I am not a planner – this is my debut novel so I was exploring what worked for me.
