Title:
Crown of Ice
Publication
date: September 9, 2014
Publisher:
Month9Books, LLC.
Author:
Vicki L. Weavil
Thyra
Winther’s seventeen, the Snow Queen, and immortal, but if she can’t
reassemble a shattered enchanted mirror by her eighteenth birthday
she’s doomed to spend eternity as a wraith.
Armed
with magic granted by a ruthless wizard, Thyra schemes to survive
with her mind and body intact. Unencumbered by kindness, she kidnaps
local boy Kai Thorsen, whose mathematical skills rival her own. Two
logical minds, Thyra calculates, are better than one. With time
rapidly melting away she needs all the help she can steal.
A
cruel lie ensnares Kai in her plan, but three missing mirror shards
and Kai’s childhood friend, Gerda, present more formidable
obstacles. Thyra’s willing to do anything – venture into
uncharted lands, outwit sorcerers, or battle enchanted beasts — to
reconstruct the mirror, yet her most dangerous adversary lies within
her breast. Touched by the warmth of a wolf pup’s devotion and the
fire of a young man’s desire, the thawing of Thyra’s frozen heart
could be her ultimate undoing.
CROWN
OF ICE is a YA Fantasy that reinvents Hans Christian Andersen’s
“The Snow Queen” from the perspective of a young woman who
discovers that the greatest threat to her survival may be her own
humanity.

life was shaped by a wonderful family, the culture of the Blue Ridge

diverse as New York City and rural North Carolina. She’s currently
the library director for a performing an visual arts university.

Fire in the Woods
Publication
date: September 2014

Author:
Jennifer M. Eaton
When
a plane crashes in the woods near Jess’s home, the boy of her
dreams falls out of the sky—literally. But David’s not here to
find a girlfriend. He’s from another planet, and if Jess can’t
help him get back to his ship, he’ll be stuck on Earth with nothing
to look forward to but the pointy end of a dissection scalpel.
But
her father runs their house like an army barracks, and with an alien
on the loose, Major Dad isn’t too keen on the idea of Jess going
anywhere. Ever. So how the heck is she supposed to help the sweetest,
strangest, and cutest guy she’s ever met?
Hiding
him in her room probably isn’t the best idea. Especially since her
Dad is in charge of the squadron searching for David. That doesn’t
mean she won’t do it. It just means she can’t get caught.
Helping
David get home while protecting her heart—that’s gonna be the
hard part. After all, she can’t really fall for a guy who’s not
exactly from here.
As
they race through the woods with Major Dad and most of the U.S.
military one breath behind them, Jess and David grow closer than
either of them anticipated. But all is not what it seems. David has a
genocide-sized secret, and one betrayal later, they are both in
handcuffs as alien warships are positioning themselves around the
globe. Time is ticking down to Armageddon, and Jess must think fast
if she’s to save the boy she cares about without sacrificing
Earth—and everyone on it.

What
kind of power is lurking inside him?
After
a year of training to become a dragonrider, Jaevid Broadfeather has
been sent home to rest during a three-month interlude. But when he
returns to find the king drake has chosen Beckah Derrick as his new
rider, Jaevid realizes something big is about to happen. Every fiber
of his being is pushed to the breaking point as Jaevid battles
through his avian year, preparing for the final graduation test of
the battle scenario. But there is more standing in his way than a few
pushups and fancy sword moves.
Jaevid
must face a new fear as he is tormented by a gruesome nightmare of a
mysterious gray elf warrior murdering the royal family of Maldobar.
It seems obvious to him that this is some kind of message about how
the war started long ago—until Felix assures him the king is very
much alive. With his strange powers growing stronger by the day, and
that violent dream replaying in his mind every night, Jaevid no
longer wonders if he will pass his avian year or not . . . he wonders
if he will even survive it.
The
truth will soon be set loose.

Title:
BRANDED (Sinners #1)
Publisher:
Month9Books
Author:
Abi Ketner and Missy Kalicicki
Fifty
years ago The Commander came into power and murdered all who opposed
him. In his warped mind, the seven deadly sins were the downfall of
society.
To
punish the guilty, he created the Hole, a place where sinners are
branded according to their sins. Sinners are forced to live a less
than human existence in deplorable conditions, under the watchful eye
of guards who are ready to kill anyone who steps out of line.
Now,
LUST wraps around my neck like thick, blue fingers, threatening to
choke the life out of me. I’ve been accused of a crime I didn’t
commit, and the Hole is my new home.
Constant
darkness.
Brutal
and savage violence.
Excruciating
pain.
Every
day is a fight for survival.
But
I won’t let them win. I will not die in the Hole.
I
am more than my brand. I’m a fighter. My name is Lexi Hamilton, and
this is my story.
