Uniting Southeastern Authors discussion

I have two books which I hope to bring to market over the next sixty days. Both are being edited at the moment. "Is there something I should know?" is a non-fiction self-help book dealing with the fundamentals of sales and business.
Reprisal! The Eagle's Sorrow is the third book in my series Reprisal! this story is about a new terror attack on Hamburg Germany and its effect on the world. Steven Howard and Chip Clarett did not see it coming and President Starks uses it as another reason to chip away at the Constitution and expand his political control.
I'll provide additional info as the released dates are firmed up. Thanks Cliff Roberts

The Light Who Shines (Urban Fantasy)

magic * murder * mystery * mayhem * vampire * wolf

When Paranormal Investigation Bureau agent Bluebell Kildare (a.k.a. Blue) arrives at the scene of the crime it is obvious the grotesquely damaged body of the deceased teenage boy was caused by far more than a simple hit and run. Using her innate sixth sense, she locates a powerful magical artifact that acts as a key to an ancient Grimiore and is likely the motive for the crime. She soon discovers the Grimiore has a dark past as it was instrumental in the creation of the Vampire breed and still holds the power to unravel the boundaries between hell and earth.

Blue and her faithful wolf Varg follow the trail starting at the Cock and Bull Tap and all through the town of Crimson Hollow, which leads to plenty of dead ends; some more dead than others. Between being sidelined by a stalker that sticks to the shadows, and chasing a perpetrator that vanishes in thin air, things are getting complicated. Dark vampire activity is at an all time high and hate group activity is increasing. However, it's her burgeoning feelings for Jack Tanner, her sexy Daylight Vampire boss, who alternates between warm affection and cool indifference that just might undo her.

While Blue searches for clues to nail the perpetrator, someone seems to be conducting a search of their own and things are getting extremely messy. Who will find whom first?

Danger lurks in every corner and Blue needs all her focus in this increasingly dangerous game or she risks ending up the next victim.

If you buy it before midnight, 5/18, 50% of royalties go to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

Thank you so much@ My photographer Ivan Phillips gets most of the credit though. He did the shoot, and scouted for the alley as the backdrop, and did the photoshopping (eyes, aura, hair streak) And of course the stunning model doesn't hurt. I only did the typography. Well, and write the book. If you get it, let me know how you like it!

The Light Who Shine..."

THE BOYFRIEND LIST is my first New Adult Romance and is now available in both paperback and ebook editions on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iTunes, Smashwords and other distributors WORLDWIDE!

The Boyfriend List follows twenty-year-old Reagan in her quest for the perfect relationship after a somewhat tragic spring break breakup leaves her disillusioned about love... again.

Reagan had always prided herself on making levelheaded, practical, analytical decisions about everything. Everything, that is, except where guys are concerned. Which was proven to her, once again, when her “boyfriend” opts to take another girl on their oh-so-romantic trip to his lake house. In order to prevent future heartbreak, she creates a checklist of all the qualities she wants in a man, and vows not to give her heart away again until she can determine if they fit every last criteria.

After scouring campus with her two best friends in her tricky journey, her detective work returns a pile of unworthy rejects, and it seems as though her choices are narrowed down to only two options: the hot stranger who’s inspired her new project, and her best guy friend Ian, who she’s always kept at bay due to his perceived playboy reputation.

Reagan gets more than she bargained for with her new set of rules, however, and is surprised to find that love, and the perfect boyfriend, may have been within reach the entire time. But will Ian’s reputation ruin his chances to prove his worth? And can Reagan let go of her insecurities long enough to even give him a chance?

The Boyfriend List is a light, New Adult romance about friendship, trust, and learning to let go in order to embrace what real love can offer.

Crazy ass Southern book, Luke's Run ... Amazon Kindle.

The Promise: A Tragic Accident, a Paralyzed Bride, and the Power of Love, Loyalty, and Friendship is my new book with an official release date may 6th. It's a memoir about an accident I had in 2010 where I was paralyzed at my bachelorette party after a playful push into a pool. I'm nervous for my first release!

I'm also new to Goodreads and to this group so I look forward to more discussions.

I have a novel releasing in June. It's called A Romance Rekindled. I'm giving away six copies on GoodReads. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Here's the back cover blurb.
SUSAN HILL ISN'T READY TO FORGIVE

The small-town CPA can't forget how Blake Mitchell jilted her and left their hometown without an explanation. But when her first love returns to Leavenworth, the ruggedly handsome writer evokes conflicting emotions, especially when Susan meets the child she assumes is his daughter.

Since his parents' deaths six years ago, Blake's been raising his little sister on his own. But he's never forgotten the woman he left behind. Now, he can't undo the past, but maybe he can change the future…if he can convince Susan to give him one more chance.

Synopsis:

Paradise books, #1

Welcome to Naples, Florida! Where the beaches are perfect and every day is a vacation. But in this small town paradise that serves as a playground for the rich and elite, not everything is as beautiful as it first appears on the surface.

Offering an irreverent, and often sarcastic, glimpse into all the sexy scandals that go on behind closed doors, Paradise Coast, delves into the shadows of another way of life and proves that money doesn’t always buy happiness. Following five couples as they navigate their way through love, expectations and revenge, this story explores how different personalities react when faced with unsavory realizations about their current states of affairs.

Authors Note: This is not a romance. There are no alpha heroes who swoop in to save the day, or brooding bad boys who are easily converted into marriage material. If that’s what you’re searching for, then keep looking. Inside these pages is an unparalleled drama with many happy endings, but not so many happily-ever-afters. At least, not in the traditional sense... It’s a story about quick-witted women who find creative ways of empowering themselves and rising above their conflicting situations.

Studied years with Harry Crews. Come to the raw South ... not the cartoon. Luke's Run - Ken MCKennick

My first published book, The Twilight Laird is coming out September 7th and will be published by Amber Quill.

Mindor, a village on the coast of Scotland in Argyllshire, is a community in crisis, and James MacGregor feels responsible. His father, former owner of Mindor, lost his lands and fortune in a whist game. The Englishman who won the game enclosed the property and threw most of the tenants off the land. James earns his living as a physician and tries to make up for his father’s failures by providing medical care to the remaining crofters and villagers for little or no pay.

After the unexpected death of her industrialist father, reformer Mariah Lawrence becomes a wealthy woman. She visits Mindor where her uncle-in-marriage, George Grimes, is the factor. Mariah is shocked at the level of poverty she sees at Mindor. When she seeks to improve the lot of Mindor's people, they receive her warmly. The only person not impressed is the young, handsome doctor, James MacGregor, who accuses her of patronizing the villagers and who belittles her efforts because she is a visitor.

When a typhus epidemic strikes, Mariah and James work together to save the people. They are now forced to fight the attraction that has plagued them since their first meeting. A union between them is unthinkable, for Mariah is engaged to another man. Worse yet, she is the daughter of the man who had won James’s home in the whist game. She is a devout Christian while James will not attend church.

In coming together and putting their differences aside for the benefit of Mindor, James and Mariah discover a love that binds them together and heals the personal scars resulting from the whist game their fathers played long ago.

Fishing on the Brink.
New on kindle eBooks by Leelon Edwards.
This is literally a "beach read" set in the Gulf Coast town of Panama City Beach. While known for Spring Break throughout the states, this is also a great fishing town with a seaside setting and colorful characters.
.
The charter fishing industry is under siege by regulation, by protective interests, and by the economy itself, then someone starts killing a natural predator. When a dolphin turns up killed, more like murdered, Drew Phillips from the Florida Wildlife Commission is called to investigate. With no fingerprints, no suspects, and few clues, Drew and his buddy Mack from the National Marine Fisheries start with motive. Who would want to kill a dolphin?

The mystery takes the reader through a salty community with characters that range from your former roommate to the shady sort that tend to migrate to the Florida climate. When more dolphins turn up dead, the community polarizes around neighbors, nobel causes, and the fishing community that started this town. Fishermen are survivors; a noble profession for centuries but protecting the species is a threat, or is it the only way to save their way of life?

Drew and Mack are chasing a killer but we're all Fishing on the Brink.

Search Amazon for Fishing on the Brink, currently available only on Kindle for $2.99.

Hi - I am an award winning true crime author. Here is the synopsis of my latest book: n the Spring of 1997, a serial killer held Nashville, Tennessee in an icy grip of terror. In February, he murdered two employees at a Captain D's restaurant. In March, he struck a McDonalds just miles away, killing three people and maiming one. In April, he kidnapped and slaughtered two Baskin-Robbins employees.They called him "The Fast Food Killer" but his real name is Paul Dennis Reid, Jr. When he was caught and sentenced to seven death sentences, yet a new chapter began in the saga
of one of the most heinous serial killers in our time, and the people whose lives he cut short.
The victims were reduced to being called "the victims of Paul Reid." Until now. Here, for the first time, and with the approval of the family and friends, are the stories of those innocent, young people whose lives were ended far too soon. It is also the story of how a crime ripped a city apart.
