Detailed Information for each Prize:
Lightning flashes. Another child disappears...
Zorka Circus’s big top roars with laughter and cheers, but
when it moves on, children vanish.
Circus Security Chief Rurik suspects a killer hides among
the performers, but they close ranks—they’ve always viewed lightning-scarred
Rurik as the monster. He must find the culprit before anyone else disappears
and his home is destroyed by the murders.
Into Zorka Circus comes the Skomori clan, despised as
gravedigging ghouls. A one-day truce allows bloodwalker Sylvie to marry. Instead,
she finds a body. Alerting others will defy her clan’s strict code, break the
truce, and leave her an outcast.
When more bodies turn up, the killer's trail becomes
impossible to ignore. Rurik and Sylvie must follow the clues—even if they lead
to something unimaginable…

Veracruz. After a fellow traveler disappears, he can’t concentrate on

No More Heroes - Roo I MacLeod
On the crime ridden streets of Old London Town the law has
been subcontracted and justice awarded to the highest bidder. But from the dark
depths of despair a hero is born.
A murder on the streets of Ostere isn’t headline news.
A vagrant running from conscription is common place.
But this vagrant knew the deceased and was witnessed
fighting with the deceased.
So now the police want a word,
As do the killers.
Ben Jackman, slumbering vagrant by day, hunter of road kill
by night, isn’t the man to take the fall.
Proving his innocence is obvious,
And finding the killer is crucial,
But Ben needs a gun. Ben needs a big mother of a gun with a
bucket of bullets, because the seedy streets of Ostere have a new breed of
criminal and they aren’t looking to take prisoners.
Opening the Veil - C. L. Clark
When Cassie agrees to go on a date with her gorgeous new
neighbor, she doesn’t expect the night to end with a glimpse into eternity. Within
twenty-four hours she discovers not only are young women being brutally
murdered around her beloved town, but an ancient evil is using her new neighbor
like a puppet to do the killing. Knowing the police won’t believe her without
solid proof, she makes it her mission to find the evidence they need. Add to
that how her cat has started talking to her, plus she’s seeing ghosts that want
her help, and it’s no surprise that she’s beginning to question her sanity. Will
she be able to help the living and the dead and not end up another victim? She’ll
need to learn fast if she wants to survive in one piece.
This is the first book in the New Sight Series - a
paranormal mystery series about a young woman whose eyes are opened to the
hidden world around her and her compulsion to help the dead seek answers and
justice.
Helping the dead find answers can be dangerous.
Cassie and Allie are back - helping the ghosts of Kensington
Falls.

rely on the wisdom of Allie, her cat, as well as her own instincts to not only
accept the upheaval, but to use her new abilities to help the desperate spirits
around her. When Zeb enters her life, he already somehow knows her secret, but
he has a secret of his own. With his help Cassie will discover new talents as
she is thrown head first into amazing and sometimes frightening situations in
order to find closure and justice for those without a voice. Is there more to
Zeb than meets the eye? Does it have something to do with the incredibly strong
attraction that seems to be growing between them? Like moths to a flame, the
ghosts of Kensington Falls are flocking to Cassie for help, but can she give
everything she’s got to helping the dead and still keep her own life intact?
Wicked Cries - Michelle Areaux
For 16-year-old Sadie Sanders dealing with the dead is
growing tiresome, especially when they expect her to play
messengertotheafterlife.
Up until recently, Sadie had been able to juggle her double
life without anyone detecting she was not only an average high school student,
but a messenger to the dead as well. When Sadie's dad decides to move the
family to Salem, Massachusetts, Sadie wondered if the move would be the fresh
new start she needed to leave her old, wicked life
behindandbecomeanormalhighschoolgirl.
Only Sadie was wrong, dead wrong. Once in Salem, Sadie finds
a hidden journal from Elizabeth, a once persecuted witch who documented the
last few days of her terrifying life. Desperately wanting to push the journal
aside and begin her new life, Sadie finds herself haunted by Elizabeth, but
thistimeisdifferent.
Sadie Sanders believed her life couldn’t get any worse when
her parents moved her from sunny California, to gloomy Salem, Massachusetts. Of
course Sadie was wrong–dead wrong. After a dangerous and almost deadly first
year in Salem, Sadie’s parents decide to send her away for the summer to visit
her Aunt Morgan in the small town of Nicholasville, Kentucky. Seeking normalcy
from her twisted life as a messenger for the dead, Sadie hopes her stay in the
small Kentucky town will be the break she needs from her paranormal obligations
and a way for her to escape the demons that haunt her. Unfortunately for Sadie,
the dead don’t take a break, not even for summer vacation. Soon after arriving
in Nicholasville, Sadie discovers a murder that’s been haunting the town for
centuries. Refusing to ignore the injustice she uncovers, Sadie sets off on
another wild adventure. In Wicked Lies, book two of the Wicked Cries series,
Sadie's quest for justice just may be the thing that finally ends her career as
a messenger to the dead, and her life.

Welcome to Bascomville, the singular domain of Max Bascom,
the universe he has spun for himself from the raw materials of his surroundings.
This is Max’s journey from friend to lover. From seducer to seduced. From firstborn to prodigal. From betrayer to
betrayed. And finally, from child to man.
In 2016, Mark A Calde publishes his fourth original novel,
Bascomville, a sprawling romantic family drama about first love and the dark
secrets that families keep hidden behind closed doors.
Telling the story from the point of view of young Max
Bascom, who eyes his father with contempt and his mother with pity, the novel
takes the reader on an insightful, absorbing and compelling journey which shows
that despite the turmoil we see in the world today, the biggest wars we fight
are usually confined within our own four walls.
Holding a mirror up to all our lives, the story spans ten
years and follows Max's relationship with his next-door-neighbor sweetheart
Janice, as they navigate their own unique family dynamics, while embarking on
their own emotional journey into adulthood.
“Bascomville looks at the responsibility men have in
romantic relationships and explores the idea that everyone's world really only
exists within their own four walls. Max falls for the girl next door, so her
world becomes part of his world,” says Mark. “If you look for test-tube normal
in any family situation, you will ultimately be disappointed. No such thing
exists. As humans we just have to be adaptable and do the best we can. That's
our legacy."
