Wanting something a little different for what is a brand new genre for her – and also lured by the attraction of ‘upfront’ money – Blair Bancroft submitted to Amazon’s new Kindle Scout program. And, lo and behold, after the requisite 45 days, her Futuristic/Paranormal REBEL PRINCESS has been accepted for publication. Details remain a bit fuzzy, but from what she’s seen on the Kindle Scout authors loop, she believes Book 1 of the 4-book series comes out next Tuesday, the 24th.

A princess from a peaceful planet, whose inhabitants have paranormal powers, clashes with a militant race determined on conquest, inadvertently sparking a rebellion. Among the lengthy cast of characters are a dashing rebel starship captain (naturally), the princess’s fiancé (a sorcerer) a younger brother who speaks only through illusions, and parents who are strong advocates of non-violence. Yet somehow they must work together to find a way to free the planets conquered by the Empire.

The wonderful Wild Rose Press Artist Angela Anderson has created a fabulous cover for Jeannie Hall’s debut romantic suspense novel, VIOLATION OF FAITH. Jeannie would love to hear what everyone at the KOD thinks! http://jeanniehallsuspense.com/cover-reveal/

Toni Anderson’s fifth book in the award-winning, bestselling Cold Justice Series releases on Tuesday. COLD IN THE SHADOWS features CIA Officer Patrick Killion and frog biologist, Dr. Audrey Lockhart. Someone just met his match! The book is released in digital, audio and print on 11/24!  (All books stand alone). See details on Toni’s website: http://www.toniandersonauthor.com

CIA Officer Patrick Killion is on a secret mission to hunt down the ruthless female assassin hired to kill the Vice President of the United States. The trail leads him to the Colombian rainforest and an earnest biologist, Audrey Lockhart, whose work on poison dart frogs gives her access to one of the deadliest substances on earth—the same substance used to murder the VP.

When Audrey is attacked by the local drug cartel, Killion steps in and hustles her out of harm’s way, determined to find out what she knows. His interrogation skills falter somewhere between saving her life and nursing her back to health as he realizes she’s innocent, and he ends up falling for her. Audrey has a hard time overlooking the fact that Killion kidnapped her, but if she wants to get her life back and track down the bad guys, she has to trust him. Then someone changes the rules of their cat and mouse game and now they’re the ones being hunted—by a cold-blooded killer who is much closer than they think.

And Carolyn Rae’s recently released Witness Protection Series trilogy is now live and the first book, HIDING FROM LOVE, is free. Check it out on Carolyn’s website: http://www.carolynrae.com/
