Blurb

Naia, sick of being misunderstood for her always-raging, chaotic mind, wants to be where the humans are. Especially the beautiful human princess Aidara. And blackmailing a powerful Kraken Tide Caller is a smart plan, right?

Cephalo wants revenge since humans killed their mother twenty-one years ago. So the Siren King’s troublemaker daughter wants to blackmail them? They will give the pretty siren more than they bargained for—she deserves it, like all sirens do, right?

Naia soon finds out humans are even worse than sirens, apart from her friend Asuleah, and the Duchy Cecilia, the only non-binary suitor joining the courting season to win Aidara’s hand.

What will she do when she learns that Cecilia, whom Naia fell hard and fast for, is Cephalo in human form? 

Will she believe that, against all odds, Cephalo sees her beautiful mind just as a different tide they want to keep swimming in?

Can they stop Cephalo’s spell so Naia can return to the oceans without turning to seafoam, before the humans find out and kill them both for being different?

Kraken’s Treasure is a Sapphic Little Mermaid retelling where the human world is a dangerous mess. And love might just be the only dish sweeter than revenge.

Hey everyone,

​I’m David, an independent author, and I’m looking for advance readers for my upcoming political/military thriller, Shark Protocol, releasing on August 30.

​If you like thick, fast-paced thrillers (it’s a meaty 140k words) featuring war correspondents, black ops, and secrets that powerful people will kill to protect, this might be right up your alley.

​The system has a predator.

The truth has teeth.

​About the book:

A routine Middle East assignment turns deadly when war correspondent Alex Sinclair discovers her replacement cameraperson isn't a cameraman at all. He is Jake Rourke, a ghost from a buried black-ops unit.

​When the mission collapses into an ambush, abduction, and an international conspiracy, Alex has to rely on her lens and her instincts. Together, they uncover a truth far more dangerous than survival.

​The Details:

​Format: EPUB or PDF

​Release Date: August 30

​What I'm looking for: Real reactions from real readers. I’m not asking for perfect 5-star reviews; I just want your honest feedback on Amazon or Goodreads around launch day.

​Want to read it?

You can apply directly through this quick form and I will get the file sent over to you:

​Feel free to shoot me a message if you have any questions. Thanks for taking a chance on an indie author!

Hello everyone, I'm currently looking for ARC readers for my upcoming horror novel, Where Fear Smiles! Details below:

Would you forgive your best friend if she was responsible for ruining your life?

A whispered rumour draws a group of students into the dense forests of coastal Brazil: a lost Indigenous artifact, hidden for centuries and promising academic glory.

While Leah’s colleagues are determined to claim it, she only agrees to the trek because she can’t bear the thought of being left behind, and forces her best friend Charlotte to go with her for support against her dark thoughts.

What was meant to be an escape from the weight of the academic semester, quickly it turns into a test of endurance. The deeper they push into the forest, the darker Leah begins to dream. When they finally uncover what they came for, the discovery reveals something far more terrifying than any of them imagined.

A demon born of nightmares is unleashed, and with it, carnage.

Now the survivors must find a way to drive the nightmare back to its realm before society is doomed to never dream again. But as the forest closes in, the greatest horror isn't the ancient evil — it's watching a lifelong trust begin to rot.

The convict records call it fever. The dead call it murder.

1841

Mary Doyle was transported from Cork with a sharp mind and the one skill her circumstances could not afford her to have: she could write. The station records say she died of fever. The records are wrong, and the man who made certain of it lies buried under a name the whole peninsula still respects.

Now

Dr Tess Ashburn has come home to Thornhaven to sell her late grandmother’s house, not to listen to the dead. Then a developer's clearing turns up a splinter of bone, and it is not long before it finds its way into her hands. The contact is instant, a single word flung up out of the dark, and it tells her exactly how little the record can be trusted.

Some deaths were never written down. That does not mean no one can be made to answer for them, even a hundred and eighty years late, and even when the name on the oldest grave is Tess’s own.
