Apocalypticon (The Apocalypticon Trilogy Book 1)by Clayton Smith

“Equal parts Mad Max and Monty Python…one hilarious, harrowing and heart-wrenching tale.”

“…[Smith] deftly balances humor, suspense, action, and sorrow (sometimes all within the same passage).”

Clayton Smith’s astounding debut novel has redefined the post-apocalyptic genre.

Three years have passed since the Jamaicans caused the apocalypse, and things in post-Armageddon Chicago have settled into a new kind of normal. Unfortunately, that “normal” includes collapsing skyscrapers, bands of bloodthirsty maniacs, and a dwindling cache of survival supplies. After watching his family, friends, and most of the non-sadistic elements of society crumble around him, Patrick decides it’s time to cross one last item off his bucket list.

He’s going to Disney World.

This hilarious, heartfelt, gut-wrenching odyssey through post-apocalyptic America is a pilgrimage peppered with peril, as fellow survivors Patrick and Ben encounter a slew of odd characters, from zombie politicians and deranged survivalists to a milky-eyed oracle who doesn’t have a lot of good news. Plus, it looks like Patrick may be hiding the real reason for their mission to the Magic Kingdom…

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (A Song of Ice and Fire)by George R. R. Martin

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Taking place nearly a century before the events of A Game of Thrones, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms compiles the first three official prequel novellas to George R. R. Martin’s ongoing masterwork, A Song of Ice and Fire.
 
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY LOS ANGELES TIMES AND BUZZFEED
 
These never-before-collected adventures recount an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne, and the memory of the last dragon has not yet passed from living consciousness. Before Tyrion Lannister and Podrick Payne, there was Dunk and Egg. A young, naïve but ultimately courageous hedge knight, Ser Duncan the Tall towers above his rivals—in stature if not experience. Tagging along is his diminutive squire, a boy called Egg—whose true name is hidden from all he and Dunk encounter. Though more improbable heroes may not be found in all of Westeros, great destinies lay ahead for these two . . . as do powerful foes, royal intrigue, and outrageous exploits.
 
Featuring more than 160 all-new illustrations by Gary Gianni, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a must-have collection that proves chivalry isn’t dead—yet.

The Billionaire Offerby Ali Parker

I’m thinking it’s finally got to be my turn.

I’ve got no man and no money. Nothing but a personality and a smile.

But maybe that’s enough this time.

The richest guy in New York is looking for a secretary, and lucky for me, he’s young and as hot as sin.

Too bad he’s an alpha asshole rich boy who’s stuck on himself. Nothing I do is right.

Throw in a crazy ex and a father that can’t stand anything that breathes in his personal space, and I. Am. Out.

He can find someone else to take notes and get his coffee.

I’m fine being broke and single. I’ve gotten good at it.

Besides, I’m not interested in a billionaire affair.

Or am I already in too deep to leave?

Sure as hell feels that way.

This is book 1 of a 3 book series. You will need to read book 2 and 3 to complete the story.

Ryderby Ali Parker

A life of darkness only pays while the sun stays hidden.

The shadows of the past follow me no matter where I turn. Mistakes I thought were long dead and gone seem to nip at my heels and tear at my soul.

I’m not a good man. Not worthy of redemption.

As President of the Lost Breed MC, I fight, take what’s mine.

But everything changed in the blink of an eye, and now I got a kid, my brother’s kid. The teenage bastard is just like me.

And he’s gone missing.

My only hope is that the pretty cop down at the station is willing to help a criminal like me out.

My focus should be on the kid, but I can’t stop thinking about owning her, marking her, making her mine. She thinks she’s going to be able to resist me forever. She’s wrong.

I’m driven mad with the desire to gain her affection, to be the one that wakes her up in the dead of night to take advantage of her softness and remind her who’s King.

But what cost would the reaper require to give me such bliss?

And am I willing to pay it?

You bet I am.

Ryder is a 55,000 word standalone novel in The Lost Breed MC series. No cheating, lying, but maybe a bit of stealing. It’s an MC – come on! Hope you enjoy the opening novel in my new stand alone series.

His Many Rulesby Ali Parker

Never Again…

Love almost stole everything from me. My career being the worst possible loss.

I never should have bent the rules and dated a student.

And now finally, after years of being alone, a pretty nurse has my attention.

Caring, curvy, and so damn smart.

She has me pacing the floor at night and wishing for things I thought were long since gone.

Every part of me aches for a chance at stealing her breath, her heart, her body–forever.

But the joke’s on me.

She’s not just a nurse. She’s a student at the college where I work, and the past seems to replay itself over again before my eyes.

Only this time, it’s so much worse than before.

I put restrictions on myself to make sure I don’t have to suffer ever again.

Too bad she wasn’t aware of my rules.

Or maybe she was…
