Yesterday the planets decided to play tricks on me. I literally couldn’t stop hurting myself. I am wearing three band-aids on my hands from a cut, smashing my hand in a drawer, and a burn. Sometimes I put a band-aid on not because it’s cut..it just makes it feel better and it’s a Ninja Turtle band-aid so it makes me smile as well.I think I broke my toe getting into the shower, and I tweaked my back lifting my cat (still on his diet). I poked my own eye with my thumb, and I ran my shoulder into a wall that I swear moved. Wednesday is the new Monday! Thank goodness it’s Thursday.

Spiderstalk
D. Nathan Hilliard
Genre: Horror | Science Fiction
FREE for a limited time
New from the author of Dead Stop… . Life hasn’t been kind to Adam Sellars lately. In the past year he has broken up with his fiancee, barely survived a terrible car wreck, and had his brother’s family vanish while he lay unconscious in the hospital. The only thing he has left of them is a frantic call in his cell phone’s voice messages, along with the blurry photo of a spider. Since then he has been a crippled shell going through the motions of life with nothing but the search for his brother to keep him going. But Adam is about to discover that things can still take a turn for the worse. Much worse. His quest for his brother has brushed up against a very dark corner of the world and something has come out of that darkness with an unholy vengeance. Something unbelievable. He can’t fight it, he can’t hide from it, and not even the police can protect him as his world descends into chaos.
His only hope lies in a mysterious pair of strangers who have appeared out of nowhere with an offer of aid. But they have their own agenda, and his survival may not be their top priority. Now Adam must keep his wits about him and learn to believe in himself again as events send him on a collision course with a monster more horrific than he ever dreamed possible.

To Forestall the Darkness: A Novel of Ancient Rome (The Tribonian Trilogy)
Vann Turner
Genre: History | Historical Fiction
FREE for a limited time
To Forestall the Darkness: A Novel of Ancient Rome is the fictional story of a man who almost prevented the Dark Ages. Its setting is the twilight of Antiquity, when the traditions of Rome collided with the customs of the Germanic invaders.
Decades of war in the Sixth Century devastated Italy. The plague depopulated it. Industry, agriculture, commerce and city life stopped. Darkness loomed. The Germanic Lombards held power and the people cowered under them, defeated and despondent.
Through this desolation moves Titus Tribonius. Unlike others, he is not content merely to survive. Instead, he refuses to let slip away everything Rome had built.
With some aiding him, some opposing, and some even betraying him, he struggles to restore what has been lost. He refuses to accept that the coming age will be dark.
Amid the ruination you’ll meet characters who teem with life:
Theodelinda, Queen of the ruling Lombards, beautiful, vain, manipulative, and plotting to murder the King; Bibula, the feisty and gregarious proprietress of a taberna; Stola, Titus’s wife, whose excessive piety has constricted her life; Celer, a youth of mixed Roman-Germanic stock; Decius, a runaway slave from Corsica; Ratold, the Lombard’s dark Master of Horse; and Titus’ aunt, who dances with the shades of the dead. To Forestall the Darkness is a serious historical novel of Ancient Rome, like Steven Saylor’s Roman Blood, or Gary Jennings’ Raptor. The century in which it is set, the Sixth, was the pivotal century. Things could have gone either way and there was still a chance that the accumulated culture of the Roman people–the skills, the technologies, the optimistic world-view–would continue. Titus tries to make it so.
Join Titus in the pages of To Forestall the Darkness and help him as he struggles to prevent the Dark Ages.
