The Iron-Jawed Boy and the Hand of the Moon

My Official Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8EC-... Discount Boxed Set: http://www.amazon.com/Guardians-Illyr... Year 2301 One month has passed since the death of Lady Vinya. Since the night sky went black in the sudden disappearance of the Moon. In the aftermath of the vanishing, the scales of the Balance have been disrupted and angered, the dark repercussions felt from the ruined lands of the Outerworld to the floating island home of the gods. Only now do the gods of Illyria stir, their period of mourning coming to a close as they call for a grand tournament. One that will decide the next Hand--a god worthy and powerful enough to pull the Moon back onto this plane. Of the contenders for the Throne, one is a malevolent prince of the Sun, another a twenty-armed inventor, and the third a disgraced father. But when thirteen-year-old Ionikus Reaves--Guardian of the gods and one-third child of the late Lady Vinya--is forced to volunteer as a competitor, Ion discovers this tournament and the gods who called for it aren't what they seem. For as he battles his way through the abandoned cities of the Outerworld, forced to fight for a Throne he doesn't want, Ion soon realizes he's not just a contender. But a pawn in a vicious game of the gods', where at the end, victory could mean death. And the destruction of the Moon itself.

It appears the World Health Organization, the CDC and the U.S. military are all involved.First book in a series.Ebola, one of the most feared of the hemorrhagic diseases, has begun spreading across the borders of West African countries. The CDC and the World Health Organization have admitted they are losing control over the disease. Some hint at a possible worldwide pandemic. At exactly this point in time, Emma Johnson graduates from nursing school. She takes a job in an Ebola treatment camp inside Liberia, West Africa. The camp is state-of-the-art. It's run by the CDC and the World Health Organization, and protected by the U.S. military. Emma uncovers a secret about this facility: medical experimentation is being conducted along with treatment. Whether or not Emma can ever escape the camp, she's determined to get the story out. She has intimate knowledge of a biological horror being secretly unleashed upon the world. NOVELETTE. GENRES: Apocalyptic Science Fiction, Zombie Fiction, Conspiracy Fiction, Horror.MUTATION Z: THE EBOLA ZOMBIES is the first book in a series. In the next book, the zombie virus will cross geographical boundaries and go increasingly out of control.REVIEWS:From Rebecca Engelmann, Sister Sinister Speaks Blog:"It looked like exactly the kind of book that I'm interested in and I was right! I read it in a single sitting, as I couldn't possibly put it down, and it was the realism that hooked me from the start...I am VERY excited to hear that this novelette will be growing into a series! Especially because of the ending that leaves you with buggy eyes and an impressive jaw gape."From Shandy Jo at Mama Knows Books:"The scariest part of the book, is it could happen. Emma goes to Africa to volunteer her services as a nurse at the Ebola camps. The thing is, the camps aren't quite what they seem. With the recent Ebola outbreak, this book really kind of hits home."The plot sucked me in, as it was well done and believable. This take on the pandemic angle was well done, and an interesting to see a zombie outbreak from start. I have to say this kept me on the edge of my seat, and made me want to wash my hands repeatedly. I felt the book played on our fears of sickness and how scientist play God. My only real complaint with the book was that the ending felt sudden. I enjoyed the book and I'm curious as to how the second one continues."From Rachel Dove, Kindle Book Reviewer:"Marilyn Peake is well known for pushing the envelope of sci-fi writing, and this offering is no different. Starkly relevant, this zombie short reads like a case file, a diary of a witness to this apocalypse, plausibly believable as far as zombie fiction goes, and as it is one of my favourite genres, I have read a lot!"From Kristin at Blood, Sweat and Books:"Mutation Z was a Novella I jumped wholeheartedly into. Ebola is one of the scariest, yet most fascinating diseases on the planet for me so combining that with a Zombie outbreak is downright terrifyingly awesome."One of the best parts about Mutation Z was the virus itself. Not only is it scary because it deals with Ebola but also because it only works during the full moon. Any other time of day and those injected with the serum would seem just as normal as you or me making them perfect carriers or weapons to spread the virus far and wide."AUTHOR'S WEBSITE: www.marilynpeake.com

One Night in a Lord's Bed

Inexplicably, Lady Violet Denton has been all but forgotten by her wastrel brother at a boarding school for nearly two years!  She has been stuck there – and without proper funds – for so long that she has been forced to take employment as the school's new French instructor.  She could never have imagined that her once-beloved brother would abandon her in this fashion, but after such a long silence, she has little choice but to accept the truth.Out of all of the Bloody Duke's men searching for the missing Miss Denton, of course it should be Lord Alexander Huffton, the Marquess of Buxton, that stumbles upon her in a remote section of Hertfordshire – to his great misfortune.  A known rake and an avowed libertine, the marquess is more comfortable in a courtesan's bed than in the company of an innocent young woman.  And Violet is about as innocent as they come.  However now that he has found her, Alex is duty-bound to return her,...

To solve the problem, though, they'll have to ask for help from Maywitch - the organization of mages tasked with keeping their peers in check.

She's a decent firecaster who's better at magic than studying, and since her parents aren't around, she could use some help paying her bills.

Demon-summoners and necromancers lurk in the shadows, and some of them seem to be banding together - with potentially dire consequences.

The Surprising Adventures of the Magical Monarch of Mo and His People

I dare say there are several questions you would like to ask at the very beginning of this history. First: Who is the Monarch of Mo? And why is he called the Magical Monarch? And where is Mo, anyhow? And why have you never heard of it before? And can it be reached by a railroad or a trolley-car, or must one walk all the way? These questions I realize should be answered before we (that "we" means you and the book) can settle down for a comfortable reading of all the wonders and astonishing adven-tures I shall endeavor faithfully to relate.
