This was the aunt who raised Lark from infancy after the tragic deaths of her parents in an auto accident. Yet what unfolds for Lark in the coming days is a dark and twisting mystery into the sinister circumstances of that awful day so long ago. Lark's desperate search for the truth reveals secrets that are about to put her life in great peril. “I was so interested in what happens with Lark I couldn't put it down. It’s an awesome book—a fun read. Intrigue, humor, emotion—what more do you need?” Carol Costello Anchor, CNN Daybreak “John DeDakis has penned a story so real it rivals real-world scenarios. As a psychiatrist, I have seen and treated many Lark Chadwicks— complex, heroic women who somehow reach down through their traumas to find a foothold of resilience in their shrewd intellect—one that saves themselves, then saves the day for those around them. I wouldn't be surprised if Lark is a real person whose identity John is protecting with journalistic ethics. Nobody writes like that without it being real, and the film is sure to follow in short order.” Paul Dobransky, MD Author of Bathsheba, national public speaker, Expert commentator on the psychology of crime, and CEO of mindosoft.com It's a fast read. The story is gripping—just when you think it may get predictable—there is an unforeseen turn of events. The writing is smart, crisp—and visual (I can see it all); the characters likeable. It's a book you'll want to keep on reading. Kelli Arena CNN Justice Correspondent PRICING: Retail (ea.)

In Indianapolis, he lost his wife and small son to divorce. That was the too-late wakeup call that landed Nathan on the beautiful Hawaiian island of Oahu, working for the laidback, tourist-focused Waikiki Times with its office-window view of the beach to prevent Nathan's ever falling back into his old discarded ways. For four years on Oahu, Nathan has puts in time at the Waikiki Times, covering luaus and farmers meetings and the boring local police beat. Jael Duncan, news photographer at the Times, is both antagonistic yet attracted to the enigmatic Nathan Brewster. For his part, Nathan has overlooked something in the framing of his strict new code of living: WOMEN. Jael is gorgeous, she makes a great confidante and sparring partner, but a potential lover? It hasn't crossed Nathan's mind. However, Nathan and Jael are about to be thrown together hard, along with Tommy Wagner, the reckless but lovable scion of the biggest farm on Oahu. The island's second biggest industry, after tourism, is farming. Both industries are threatened with annihilation, along with the entire island populace, by a sudden infestation of crop-destroying, pesticide resistant, man-killing insects called THRIPS. Dr. Lanahino at the University of Hawaii believes the new thrips have been bioengineered, and Lanahino thinks he knows who is responsible: Philip Wei, a brilliant North Korean madman, who is using the farms of Oahu as a testing ground for his discovery of what promises to be the most destructive bioweapon of all time.

With the help of police detective Joe Vensure, Angie meticulously hunts Anthony down, following his trail of broken-hearted and devastated victims.

Sam Givens yearns to possess them, as does his friend John Petit called in from Thailand to help him. Yet so does the mysterious Oxeye Cult of assassins leaving a trail of bodies with a long hatpin imbedded into each of their victim’s left eye. But will either contingent manage to gather the diamonds and escape before Prince Sulayman, the warlord who claims the forbidden island as his own lands, take them for himself? Immerse yourself into a rare glimpse of the desert culture and customs of a rich and exotic land, where the tales of Arabian Knights and scimitar wielding warriors have never ceased.

While making repairs, one in their company, the former Admiral Varn Tarl Sogan, War Prince of the Arcturian Empire, is none too welcome. Conspiracy is afoot to bring harm to Capt. Sogan and his comrades. Yet the greatest danger on Elaine of Avalon may not be its human inhabitants, but the monstrous creatures of its seas: the Barracands, two to three meter eating machines; and the over one-hundred foot Leviathan with teeth the size of sabers.

Islaen Connor, Capt. Jake Karmikel, Sgt. Bethe Danlo, and their faithful mascot, the Jadite, Bandit. Returning to their home base on Horus, the Commandos encounter old friends, and new enemies. An alliance is in the works between the Federation and The Arcturian Empire. Former Arcturian Admiral and War Prince by birth, Capt. Varn Tarl Sogan, is called upon to present to the entire Federation Security Council concerning the grave threat of the marauding Pirate Stars and the benefits of an alliance with the Empire that bore him and then betrayed him, condemning him to death. Yet there are dark forces that don’t wish to see any such alliance forged, as all the members of the Council soon become targets for murder—treacherous and foul. Yet, in this thrilling conclusion to the STAR COMMANDOS saga, discovery of murder and conspiracy is but the beginning of the devastating truths the War Prince is to learn about his people, his family, and himself. This is a heroic tale of the greatest of courage, loyalty, love and faith.

Gelinas ISBN 1-59507-002-8 Something has been found… Deep beneath the desert sands of Saudi Arabia, an oil exploration crew stumbles upon a massive underground complex, filled with ancient artifacts, priceless treasures, and a mysterious and deadly secret chamber. Two men die of severe radiation exposure within minutes of venturing into the chamber. A third desperately clings to life. Dr. Helen Knight, a world renowned nuclear physicist, is brought in to help with both the containment of the radiation danger and to help investigate its underlying mystery. What waits for Helen and her colleagues inside the chamber will not only change her life forever in unimaginable ways, but potentially result in the upheaval of the entire world. Actually, the issue is not what waits for her buried in the heart of the earth, but who—the ancient geneticist who has been trapped in a cryogenic vault for the last 4,000 years, the scientist who originally created the hybrid creatures that modern science calls homo sapiens. What if all of ancient history, all that is commonly believed throughout the world about human origins and the birth of civilization, was all a lie—a deliberate distortion designed to conceal a dangerous but profound truth about mankind? What if many ancient myths, legends, and lore were in fact actual depictions of earth’s true history?

Now, they are covertly usurping the thrones of human-ruled kingdoms to do the unthinkable—building a massive human army to assist them in destroying Danaria's sorcerer bloodlines in an attempt to save their own. Armed with nothing more than meager weapons, untrained sorcery, and mere instinct, a troubled human prince, an inept Danarian sorceress, and their friends, rise up and become the world's last hope to stop the Kersians, and save the sorcerers' dying race.

The Age of Magic draws to its end. The power of the Goddess seeks its vessel. Let the journey begin… Glissenda, daughter of the Clan Chief of the Macowans, keeps her terrifying and powerful visions a secret from her domineering and controlling father. Even as he celebrates another successful raid, he looks to the future and how his children can help him realize his ambition. With the help of Sareih, a captive Breharan lay priestess, Glissenda flees the marriage her father has arranged and the oppressive world of the clans to find The Green Temple. However, the apparent idyll is only a thin veneer for a darker and more terrifying reality. Her powers are far stronger than anyone expected and her very presence disrupts the staid routines of the Temple. The Priestess Mera sees that Glissenda will soon bear the long awaited Chosen One. Sister Brona is therefore forced to seek the aid of the dying former High Priestess Seyna to train the powerful but ignorant Glissenda. Glissenda finds a mentor and friend in the dying woman. Glissenda has not yet mastered her visions when she sees the shocking truth behind Seyna’s illness. Seyna is not suffering from the dreaded wasting disease, but has been slowly poisoned by Namet, her chosen successor. Namet works not only to eliminate the powerful Seyna, but plans to kill Glissenda and prevent the birth of the Chosen One.

The battlefield is Aerth, a place formed of the fears, dreams and legends of Earth where hope, magik and danger are intertwined and the impossible can still be. Hobgoblin hordes charge toward the empires of men, and wood elf forest clans struggle with an evil that has returned from the sky. In the surrounding dimensional planes, the angels of Upper Etherea, demon gods of Lower Etherea and the supreme beings of Astra watch and grow restless. The struggle has reached even Earth, the place without magick—where the Church of the Four Raptures works in the shadows to hasten the end of days. Mord, the only known survivor of the ancient Circle of Warlocks, has spent the past 870 years doing his best to avert Lum's prophecy, but he can't do it alone. His one last hope—and the world's—lies with the Chandler family: four unlikely and unsuspecting heroes who are brought together on the eve of destruction. Rev, Faun, and their estranged parents John and Summer might just make a difference—if they can overcome their personal demons in time to seize destiny.

Being preyed upon by werewolves and fellow human Raiders, the last of the human tribes live a life afraid, and on the run—smelting silver for bullets and knives. How the werewolves came about is a mystery. Yet, there are also stories of dragons laying waste to both humans and werewolves alike. No one knows which of these ancient tales are true. What is known is that humanity may be hunted out of existence. In this struggle for survival, two young lovers fight to have a normal life. An innocent night of passion together could be the undoing of all the tribe has achieved for generations. What lies ahead for them, Dragons or Wolves? This magical, mystical fantasy is not for children or the faint of heart.

But she wants nothing to do with her gifts and talents. They almost killed her best friend when she was a child. Yet her gifts are not those of the Crown Council of Mages in the Kingdom of Tuldamoran. She's not a firemage, a seamage, a windmage, nor an earthmage. Yet she has the ability to turn each of the four basic elements of life into another, and wield them with devastating results. That's what frightens her, and makes her run from the power kindling inside her. Yet others in her seaside town of Port Alain suspect she may be the long awaited Crownmage, who appears once every 500 years, gifted with all four talents of the mages. Yet when her childhood friend, Elena, becomes queen and her throne is threatened, Alex must face her greatest challenge: to discover who she really is, and overcome the dark fears and tormenting nightmares that have plagued her since childhood. And she must do it facing the Firemage on a field of battle, which could very well cost her her life. MAGE CONFUSION is a story for all ages. The young and all those still young at heart. It celebrates the loyalty of friends, the bonds of family, and the courage needed to overcome all odds. Alex Keltie is a classic character, guaranteed to steal your heart. Her humor and wit are enchanting, as is everything in this story.

His adoring childhood friend in glasses, Olivia Figaro, can't get Christopher to see her as anything but a kid. His obsession is all he notices. Especially now, because Christopher's mother has a publicity stunt in mind that will finally put her son in contact with a genuine vampire. Countess Della Luna, murdered in Italy nearly four-hundred years ago, is an unsolved mystery and fabulous legend among the truest connoisseurs of vampire lore. Christopher is slated to pose for cameras digging up her grave. Years later, L.A. life and an interest in police work land Olivia in a great job as bodyguard to famed teenage TV star Taylor Stockton. Taylor has an obsession with vampires that plunges Olivia straight back into the forgotten morass she'd shared with her childhood love, Christopher Chagny. But young Taylor's obsession is based in fear, not rapture. No one believes Taylor was kidnapped a year ago by a real vampire, Olivia included. But as a powerful bond develops between these two, Olivia determines to protect Taylor at any cost, even if it means hunting vampires.

What he doesn't know is that the exquisite mansion was made by the forced labor of countless Gypsy peasants, its mortar literally made from their ground bones and blood. It is a cursed dwelling filled with unspeakable horrors. In 1981 Victor DeLensky, Alexei's grandson, journeys to Southern California from his home in England to settle the estate of his recently deceased father. The Dacha has been relocated to California, and rebuilt, stone by stone, timber for timber. Victor has no idea of the nightmare that awaits him. He doesn't understand the sacred Exorcism seals that are never to be removed from certain items, specifically a Karabaugh carpet, consecrated by a Zoroastrian witch a century earlier that allows it to serve as a window to the netherworld, a portal for two deadly demons, one of lust and another of cannibalism, to cross into the world of the living in search of human hosts—and victims. The Dacha is for true Horror enthusiasts who want to be frightened out of their wits. This novel pulls no punches and certainly isn't for children.

ARCHEBOOKS PUBLISHING CATALOGUE TO ORDER: (800) 358-8101 PAGE 40 Christopher - The Lander Series By Carrie Chesney ISBN 1-59507-073-7 Disillusioned, sick at heart, country star Christopher "Kip" Adams sought the peace and isolation of a remote Canadian island, only to discover it was already occupied-by another wounded soul, who'd also fled there for refuge from the world. “Carrie Chesney writes an amazing story. Suspense, romance and humor all reside in Christopher. Be prepared to cry, laugh, and gasp when you least expect it, for Chesney wields a pen, and she knows how to use it. If romance stories were a bouquet of white roses, hers would be the red rose in the center. A romance by Chesney is a romance worth falling in love with. A must read!” Dora Nevius, Publisher, Runes Magazine Abby Lockner is a revelation—a woman who knows nothing of his celebrity status and isn't interested in his money. She only needs his caring and support as she deals with the death of her husband and prepares for the birth of her child. By giving both, Kip begins to find the healing he so badly needs and a safe place for his heart. “A clever, charming blend of romance and suspense, Christopher ropes you in and won't let go until the final chapter. Chesney's lovable characters, spot-on pacing and mastery of detail make this page-turner sing. A fabulous debut; I'm looking forward to another trip to Lander.” Melissa Macron-Nitolo, Editor and Journalist However, Kip can't escape who he is for long. Someone wants Abby out of the picture—permanently— and his ex-wife isn't satisfied with embezzling from him; she plans to have it all. Kip and Abby's dreams of a lifetime together all depend on whether they can manage to stay alive. “Christopher, the first volume of The Lander Series, is an amazing book filled with realistic characters and breathtaking scenery. While this book is definitely a tear jerker, I choked several times laughing at her many, clever jokes. Carrie Chesney writes with her whole heart. This book deserves to be read by all who enjoy love stories with lifethreatening adventures, hilarious moments and heart-warming scenes.” Jamie Lin, SLAKE.com PRICING: Retail (ea.) $27.99 Rating: Words: Pages: Pub Date: ISBN: Discount (%) 40 Wholesale (ea.) $16.79 PG Adult Situations 133,353 Hardcover 324, eBook 445 (PDF) 06/07/2005 Hardcover 1-59507-073-7 Anticipation By Robert E.

ARCHEBOOKS PUBLISHING CATALOGUE TO ORDER: (800) 358-8101 PAGE 42 If You Only Knew By Laura E. Reagan ISBN 1-59507-051-6 Grace’s Byron’s plan is simple enough— travel from Savanna to Sweetwater, New Mexico Territory, as a mail-order bride and thus preserve the true identity of the man she is going to meet, a man she holds very dear. But she’s reckoned to do so without the twists that Fate is planning. When her stage is held up, the robbers mistakenly think she’s part of their booty, but soon find this Georgia beauty is really a spitting hellcat, one who knows how to use a gun. She wounds one man and kills another before she’s hit on the head. When Cole Pierce mounts his horse and heads to town, his plan is simple enough—to meet the stage and bring Grace Byron back to marry his ailing friend, but without the danger of a stage holdup. After he helps rescue the passengers, he certainly never anticipates having two Graces to choose from: one unconscious, and another with amnesia. Cole decides the one who’s still unconscious, a matronly woman, must be his friend’s mail-order bride, and the firebrand with a flame of red-gold hair has to be the new saloon girl. She simply can’t be his friend’s promised bride. Because from the moment Cole looks into her green eyes, he wants her more than he’s ever wanted a woman. And he knows he’s going to marry her, even if he has to use every trick he knows to convince her of why she should marry him.

On her own from a young age, with no one she could depend on, Sophie got where she was by her own hard work, never asking anyone for anything. Then her plane fell out of the sky. Trapped in a mountain wilderness, injured and unable to walk, she is forced to depend on a stranger’s help for everything in order to survive, whereupon she discovers Jack, with his understanding brown eyes and his unexpected insights, a special kind of man— a man she could trust with her life. And, maybe, even her heart. As Jack Laubreaux looks over the snapped-off wings and other debris scattered over the mountainside, he knows if he hadn’t been on the plane it wouldn’t have crashed. And seven people wouldn’t have died. With that fact weighing heavily on his conscience, his chance at redemption is found in keeping his promise to Sophie—the only other survivor—to get her safely out of the mountains alive. But it won’t be easy. Sophie is badly hurt, and it will take all of his ingenuity to find a way to get down to her. And it will take all of his patience to get past her fierce independence and win her trust. However, the hardest thing of all is meeting Sophie’s green gaze and not falling in love with her—and not making her a target, too. Jack is a marked man. His testimony, if he lives to give it, will put a powerful crime boss in prison. And the mobster’s mole, “Silent Knight”—someone highly placed in law enforcement, maybe even the FBI—will be watching, waiting and ready to use anyone and anything to find Jack and take him out.

Realizing that Alavera is still alive but in great danger, Stiehl fakes his own death, only to reemerge underground—in drag—to locate his long-time friend. When, together with his younger, hipper, college-professor sidekick, he begins finding bodies dropping like flies at a bad delicatessen, Stiehl calls upon the local D.A. and the members of the venerable 12th Precinct to step in to help solve the case—and very nearly ends up a statistic, himself. “Hilariously funny!

Men found him the best of company and women adored him. People who met him at a party, at work or simply standing in a waiting line with him—anywhere—would come away feeling good about themselves after just a few words with him. Years later, people would suddenly remember something about him and wonder if he were still alive. He is. Come take a first-hand journey through the annals of American History: arriving on a Slave Ship in the new American Colonies, fighting in the Revolutionary War with General Washington; experience the birth of a Nation and its trials and tribulations through Civil War, World Wars, and battles across the Pacific ocean in Korea and Vietnam—all its agonizing conflicts spanning over 200 years. Life of the Eagle is a mystical and magical account, following the life of an ageless wanderer and adventurer—he is literally ageless—a man who seemingly cannot die, but watches generation after generation pass away before his eyes. He struggles to understand his inexplicable longevity, his miraculous gift of healing that saves lives only to see them soon lost in horror and tragedy, and ultimately to discover his mysterious purpose in the world. This view of history is candid and raw, horrifying and shocking, yet heart-rending and inspiring in its candor and honesty. It is a unique perspective seen though the human lives that shaped a nation with blood and perseverance and courage and faith.

Near the settlement of Jamestown they make their lot, learning to set aside their London Gentry ways to gain an intimate knowledge of the land and its prior inhabitants. They overcome many years of hardship and labor, serving initially as bonded indentured servants, working along side the African slaves, making friends—and enemies. Both brothers prosper, but that prosperity is quickly threatened by the marauding Indians, and worse, Governor Sir William Berkeley and his "Tidewater Aristocracy" perverting the justice of the House of Burgesses and pilfering the wealth of the colony for their own gain. The Planters is based upon exhaustive research into the period of the last half of the 17th century. While this story a fictional novelization, many of the characters and events, such as Bacon's Rebellion, are actual historical events that took place a century before the drafting of the Declaration of Independence. This vibrant portrait of American History will transport you to a different place and time, into the cradle of America's birth. Yet it does so through the lives of three-dimensional characters, full of virtue and vice, ambition and greed, freedom and oppression. It takes a candid look at an emerging culture and people, full of opportunity and optimism, yet doesn't shy away from the realities of the plight of Native Americans, the slave trade, and the class structure of the English imposed upon a virgin land.

Yet, for him, tragedies past seem to pale in the wake of becoming involved in a war of mythic proportions between the Norse gods of the Aesir and the Frost Giants, competing for domination of Midgard (Earth) Asgard (realm of the Aesir), and their home dimension. Eric befriends the mighty Thor, his father Odin, and brother Loki, along with the industrious Rock Dwarves and the beautiful Valkyrie to save his uncle, his friends, and ultimately the planet and realms beyond.

McMorrow ISBN 1-59507-067-2 In this thrilling Young Adult Fantasy, Kathren Faralon and her younger sister Reni are the runaway children of a cruel, worthless father. Kathren, dubbed “Krag Firewing” for her quick temper (after the legendary dragon of Chandoria), is taken in by Chase Bannon when she appears on his doorstep with Reni in tow, asking not for shelter, but a job. She becomes a “peacekeeper” at Chase Bannon's inn, called Firewing's Rest. She makes an effective bouncer, thanks to her amazing talent for going unnoticed, enabling her to slip up on unruly patrons without warning. Krag is talented with her dagger also, but soon learns that her talent for “going unnoticed,” becoming invisible, is not a skill but the miraculous gift of magery. Seventeen-yearold Krag becomes insecure when she learns that Chase Bannon has a daughter her own age, a young girl he's never seen. Stranger yet, this girl's mother (whom Chase had married in secret, for love, never knowing her true identity) was Queen of Chandoria, until her death left his daughter, Jaime, heir to the throne. Jaime is now the unwitting pawn of Owen Straystone, the powerful royal mage whose ambition, by virtue of a magic bracelet fastened on Jaime's wrist, has transformed soon-to-be Queen Jaime from a willful, spoiled monster into the Royal Mage's thrall. To doubly ensure the bracelet's effectiveness, Straystone imprisons the younger Faralon sister, Reni, making the gentle twelve-yearold his hostage. Chase Bannon is only an innkeeper; his adopted daughter Krag is only a peacekeeper with a single mage talent. They gather forces to reclaim Reni, and risk their lives bringing about Jaime's rescue from Owen Straystone's overwhelming clutches before she can be crowned.
