WHISPER FROM THE OCEAN by Christine Lemmon ~ Free from Amazon for 3 days only (Oct 19, 20th, 21st)

We all hope for peace and happiness in our lives. But as women living in a fast-paced world of productivity, we rarely have time to stop and listen to our inner selves, to the wants and desires we once had for our lives or to new ideas still forming within us--as abundant as the waters of the ocean, but quieted over time--into more of a whisper. A collection of treasured quotes pulled from the pages of Christine Lemmon's novels, Whisper from the Ocean, is more than a book. It's like Lemmon is handing us a pail by the seashore, filled to the rim with revitalizing pearls of womanly wisdom, glistening bits of heart and mind, and thought-provoking illuminations related to solitude and inspiration; spirituality and creativity; passion and productivity; marriage and motherhood; sacrifice and identity; contentment and joy.

THE PERSECUTION OF MILDRED DUNLAP by Paulette Mahurin ~ Historical Fiction.
Free on Amazon

The year 1895 was filled with memorable historical events: the Dreyfus Affair divided France; Booker T. Washington gave his Atlanta address; Richard Olney, United States Secretary of State, expanded the effects of the Monroe Doctrine in settling a boundary dispute between the United Kingdom and Venezuela; and Oscar Wilde was tried and convicted for gross indecency under Britain’s recently passed law that made sex between males a criminal offense. When news of Wilde’s conviction went out over telegraphs worldwide, it threw a small Nevada town into chaos. This is the story of what happened when the lives of its citizens were impacted by the news of Oscar Wilde’s imprisonment. It is a chronicle of hatred and prejudice with all its unintended and devastating consequences, and how love and friendship bring strength and healing.

MARKED by Elizabeth Naughton (Eternal Guardians #1) ~ Paranormal Romance
Free on Amazon

THERON—Dark haired, duty bound and deceptively deadly. He’s the leader of the Argonauts, an elite group of guardians that defends the immortal realm from threats of the Underworld.

From the moment he walked into the club, Casey knew this guy was different. Men like that just didn’t exist in real life—silky shoulder-length hair, chest impossibly broad, and a predatory manner that just screamed dark and dangerous. He was looking for something. Her.

She was the one. She had the mark. Casey had to die so his kind could live, and it was Theron’s duty to bring her in. But even as a 200-year-old descendent of Hercules, he wasn’t strong enough to resist the pull in her fathomless eyes, to tear himself away from the heat of her body.

As war with the Underworld nears, someone will have to make the ultimate sacrifice.

DARKNESS FALLS by Jessica Sorensen ~ YA Fantasy/Dystopian
Free on Amazon

When the disease spread through the world, people had no choice but to go into hiding. The Colony is hidden deep underground, far away from the vampires—humans that were transformed by the disease. The vampires are hideous, starving, and they will kill any human they come across.

Seventeen-year-old Kayla is a Bellator, a warrior that protects The Colony. In order to survive, there are three rules she must follow:

Rule #1—Never go out after dark.
Rule #2—Always carry a weapon.
Rule #3—No matter what, never EVER get bitten.
But what happens when the rules Kayla has always lived by can no longer apply? 

The Highers run The Colony and accept nothing less than perfection. One slip up can mean death. Kayla has always worked hard to follow the rules and strive for perfection. But during a moment of weakness, she lets her imperfections show. Her punishment is worse than death. She is chosen for The Gathering and is thrown out into a world full of starving vampires. 

No one has ever survived The Gathering, at least that’s what Kayla’s been told. But when she runs into a group who insist they were once part of The Gathering, Kayla discovers the Highers have been keeping secrets. Secrets that could lead to a cure.
