New Release: Charlie the Cupid: Quarter One by Zack Brooks

Congratulations to Zack Brooks on the release of his short story collection: Charlie the Cupid: Quarter On

Charlie the Cupid: Quarter One
by Zack Brooks
Book 1 of 1: Quarter One
Febuary 28, 2025
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be immortal? Well, let me tell you, it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. Not that I’m technically immortal; I can die after all. It’s not that I’m a god or anything. Though, now that I think about it, gods aren’t actually immortal either… Anyway.

My name is Charles Vefferlin, and I work for a company owned by one of the three Fate sisters, CLA LCC. My branch, located in Boston, is responsible for making beings—human or not—deemed fated to be together to fall in love. Oh, and if you haven’t already put it together, I’m a Cupid. Now, before your sad meat sack of a brain starts building an image right away. No, I don’t look like that. And no, I don’t shoot magical arrows, making beings instantly fall in love with one another. I do look like a normal human being, despite being several millenniums old, and I do make beings fall in love with each other. But it’s nothing like how you would imagine. Hell, it wasn’t until a certain assignment in Maine that things began to get weird, even for me. And that is saying something because, let me tell you, I have seen some crazy stuff in my life. But, I suppose I’ll let you find that out for yourself.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I could really use a drink… You’ll see why


This collection edition of Quarter One includes.

Valentines Day
Fanging with Fate
Hairy Neighbor Hook-up
Drunk Under the Rainbow
Pastor Problems
Nerdgasm
Hired Help

About the Author:
Zack Brooks is a new writer who likes to dabble in the fantasy world. He deals in the generic fantasy realm but also dips his toes in the world of urban fantasy. With his main series being The Amaford Trial, it becomes clear that sarcasm could be considered his first language.

Outside of writing, Zack is a husband and a father of three. All whom he lives to embarrass at every opportunity. Being a nerd and a homebody in New Hampshire it's no wonder he has chosen to spend what little free time he has clicking away and filling in those blank pages that scream to be filled.

Congratulations to Erin Kellison on the release of the romantic fantasy/action adventure The Dark Heart: Indulgence Series Book 4

The Dark Heart: Indulgence Series 4
by Erin Kellison
January 23, 2025
Book 4 of 4: Indulgence Series
The gods need defenders, but Adom and Terah are fighting for a future of their own.

Through desperate trials, Terah and Adom have forged an unwavering partnership, but the secret they discover on their latest quest savagely rips them apart. While Adom struggles to escape the snare of Death's great web, Terah is forced to return to Aranos to confess ancient wrongs.

Disaster looming, Death commands Adom to wed his scion to forge a union capable of battling the menace to come. But Adom's heart belongs to Terah, and he will stop at nothing to reunite with her—even if it means burning Akolan to primeval dust.

Alone and besieged by challenges, Terah must confront her father's treacherous legacy. But the cost of power is high, and to fight her mounting enemies, she must pay with her humanity.

When at last their paths collide, Terah and Adom have become what their gods need: unchained weapons honed for war. As the foretold invaders breach the skies and chaos descends, Terah and Adom urgently need allies. But who can they trust when they suspect everyone, even the gods, of deception?

Would you choose love? Or a throne?

Eighteen-year-old Yakua Roca worries more about her family's meager finances than the emperor who flattens kingdoms on his march toward the border. But when stone giants attack her village, Yakua's ambitious plan to marry a priest turns against her and she finds herself a peace offering to a man with a reputation for cruelty.

Yakua must navigate a dangerous betrothal, accept her shameful past, and stave off the burn of forbidden desire.

Or leave everyone she loves in the careless hands of the monster she has to marry.

For fans of epic fantasies and books like "The Red Queen" and "Hunger Games,” this tale will immerse you in a gorgeous and unique world with steep mountain peaks, forbidden romance, mysterious magic, and unforgettable characters.

New Release: God of Monsters: Bound Gods #8 by Adrienne Wilder

Congratulations to Adrienne Wilder on the release of God of Monsters: Bound Gods #8
God of Monsters: Bound Gods #8

There is nothing stronger than the heart of a Doxie, and at the same time, there is nothing more fragile.
And when it breaks?
The shards cut deep, and the wound never heals.
Just when you thought the betrayal couldn’t go any deeper, it reaches all the way to Purgatory.

Warning: The ending of this installment is HFN but abrupt. And this timeline will not pick up until Bound Gods 10 which is where all the storylines merge for the final apocalyptic battle for the survival of the Doxies.

Georgia born and bred, I am an artist, a writer, and a general pain in the ass.

I spend most of my days working on my next book or designing cover art for other writers. For stress relief, I do Olympic lifting and occasionally run (but hate it). I have been in love with writing since I was very young but it wasn't until recently that I decided to pursue it as a profession.

I have experimented in several genres and found that since I identify as male, male romance has been the most comfortable for me to write. I don't discriminate in my books. All characters are fair game. I do however, prefer a happy ending at some level.

I don't write the standard romance book. Some might even argue that what I write isn't romance at all. Personally I think of them as love stories, where even in a fantastical world, there are realistic outcomes to the obstacles the characters face.

Many of my books have dark turns and twists where the characters fight for the light at the end of the tunnel. I write action, fist fights, gun fights, down right dirty evil people who have to be stopped, things catch fire, blow up, and fall in. My characters come in a unique range. They are not all good guys, but the majority of them have very good hearts. Many of them have been through hell in their lives, and many of them have a laundry list of faults. But hopefully they manage to surprise you with their tenacity and loyalty.

If all goes well, there will be a myriad of different kinds of books available this year. If I am really lucky, you will enjoy them.

New Release: Bound Gods Book Seven: Purgatory by Adrienne Wilder

Congratulations to Adrienne Wilder on the release of Bound Gods Book Seven: Purgatory
Bound Gods Book Seven: Purgatory
by Adrienne Wilder
April 16, 2018
This is a part of an ongoing series and not a stand-alone book. Reading these books out of order isn’t advised.

****

Purgatory is where gods go to die, imprisoned for their violent crimes, sentenced to never see the light of day again. Trapped within the stone catacombs are impossible, dangerous, barely human gods.

Gods of legend.

And with the potent ambrosia Aaron produces, those gods might soon walk free. If they do, blood will rain and hell will be unleashed.

*****

Trigger Warning: This product contains nuts.

Oh, and it’s the second-half of a three-part installment and ends on a ditchhanger.

Or maybe even a gullyhanger.

But definitely, nothing nerve wrenching enough to qualify as a cliffhanger.

Bound Gods: The Claiming Book Six
by Adrienne Wilder
March 30, 2018
190 pages
The Claiming: Book Six in the Bound Gods Series. This is NOT a stand alone book.

What begins as a day of celebration, the Claiming of two Doxies to a single god, transforms into a spiraling path of cataclysmic change.

Hearts will break.

Friendships will shatter.

And betrayal to those closest to the heart of the Association is only a small price to pay for the protection of the gods’ most precious possessions…

Doxies.

Note: This book ends on a cliffhanger to book Seven.

New Release: Bound Gods #5: Crocuta Crocuta by Adrienne Wilder

Congratulations to Adrienne Wilder on the release of Crocuta Crocuta (Bound Gods #5)
Bound Gods #5: Crocuta Crocuta
by Adrienne Wilder
June 2, 2017
For a god, what could be closer to heaven than living in a safe haven like Sanctuary, with an endless supply of ambrosia, delivered by the beautiful bodies of the Doxies in Alton’s harem?

But unlike the majority of the gods in Sanctuary who are less than human, Cerberus isn’t exotic or fantastical. His appearance, his…habits…have become the horror stories whispered on the lips of Doxies.

And while Cerberus might be immortal, his pride is not indestructible. Seeing the love of a Doxie for a monster like the Chimera, shatters it.

A chance encounter with an undocumented Doxie named Owen begins to transform Cerberus’s life. At least until Alton removes Owen from Cerberus’s care, banning the god from training the boy—to protect him from Cerberus’s animal nature.

In reality, Alton's motives are far more frightening. And the truth could kill Cerberus and Owen both.

New Release: Bound Gods (book 2): Chained by Adrienne Wilder

Congratulations to Adrienne Wilder on the release of Bound Gods Book 2: Chained in her science fiction/fantasy series.
Bound Gods (book 2): Chained
by Adrienne Wilder
April 5, 2016
Leo has been sent on a mission to find a missing doxie. And after weeks at Leo’s side, Kaleb is suddenly alone. Free of the cruelty the Chimera, he should be rejoicing. But instead, he becomes aware of a void in his heart, he never knew was there until Leo wasn’t there to fill it. When Leo returns Kaleb is faced with the choice of disobeying Leo—forcing him to take ambrosia—or risk losing him forever.

With a single flower, Leo is back under the control of the Association. And what kind of punishment is suitable for a doxie who disobeys his Master, even though it saves his life? Leo has a list of ideas, starting with Kaleb’s first visit to a Gathering.

At the Gathering of the gods, doxies, and mortal men, Kaleb first lays eyes on Aaron. The beautiful doxie is presented by the god Sol. There he will be fed the ambrosia, Awakened to his journey of immortality, and then serve his god, Sol, for all to see. Only the horror of Aaron’s treatment by Sol makes Kaleb realize monsters come in many forms.

And not all of them hunt doxies.
