You've never, ever read a book like this. When a sexually-transmitted plague breaks out in Ashley Young's small town, leaving its victims with a bizarrely amplified libido, everything about her life changes. DEAD IN BED is partly a suspense thriller with a strikingly unique story, partly a page-turning mystery about a disease that makes people hopelessly crave sexual contact, and partly a neo-western adventure in the American heartland. For readers who can handle a smart, controversial female protagonist who's willing to do anything -- no matter how difficult or morally questionable -- in order to survive, the series pulls them in like an unshakeable addiction. . . . Bailey Simms, teen author of DEAD IN BED, is stuck at home with a rare medical condition. Writing is her only escape, so she's determined to keep her salacious series hidden from her strict father. Soon an older boy starts to secretly help her, and Bailey finds new opportunities for freedom she's never had. But as DEAD IN BED grows in popularity, and Bailey's fans start to clamor for the sequel, she learns that being a successful Wattpad author may come with a terrifyingly dangerous price.

Meet Robert, a West Highland Terrier born in Lockerbie just weeks before Pan Am flight 103 exploded and crashed onto the village. Major world events would continue to punctuate Robert's colourful life as he deals with some unsettling dramas of his own as well as the humans who love him and are loved by him in return. One decidedly opinionated dog, Robert feels no need to keep his views to himself, happy always to share his insights on the people he meets, loves and, just occasionally, loathes. No, Robert is no ordinary dog, not least because he is telling us his tale from beyond the grave, thanks to a two-way psychic hotline to his still-earthbound friend, the sweetly eccentric medium, palmist and astrologer, 'Alternative' Sophie Veron. Once over their surprise at this example of pan-temporal and pan-lingual telepathy, readers will encounter a life fascinating not only for its intriguing characters, their triumphs, joys and tragedies, but also for the light that Robert’s story sheds on those years that precede the Millennium, years remarkable for the emergence of those world-changing issues that dominate our lives right up to today. A century comes to a close. The world holds its breath, and then exhales joyously as fireworks fill the skies and the moment passes without an apocalypse or even a lethal computer virus. Sadly, there are but a few months of joy left for Robert. Away at the Sydney Olympics on business, Steve receives an urgent call. He rushes home to find Robert weak and barely able to clamber to his feet to greet him. Why did Steve shed more tears on that sad day of farewell two weeks later than he had shed at his father’s funeral? Well, dear reader, by then you will know. The bond between man and dog can be forged with remarkable strength. In the case of the very special Robert, that bond has reached beyond time and across worlds. Welcome Robert into your life. Have a treat handy.

Can a natural killer learn to be human again? Regan's unique talent for murder makes her a perfect assassin. After a lethal encounter leaves her broken body washed up on a beach, she finds herself adopted by a group of teenage bodyguards. She doesn't intend to stay for long, but soon Regan finds herself faced with a choice: become a hero or stay a villain? *** The boy played with the flat brim of the cap in his hands and looked around the room. He sat back in his chair, trying to look casual, but the heel of his hi-top sneaker drummed rapidly on the concrete floor. Regan sat opposite him with her legs crossed and her hands folded on her tartan skirt. She watched him without a word and brushed a strand of blue-dyed hair behind her ear. Somehow this seemed to unsettle him more. 'Calm down,' she said. 'It's just murder.' *** Author's Note: Darkness Girl: Trickster God is represented by Louise Fury from The Bent Agency. P.S. The epic cover was made by Paul Kopetko (you can stalk him at paulkopetko.com). Enjoy!

Sam is the most promising swordsman among this year’s crop of Paladin trainees...and knows it. Brash, cocky, and unbeatable with a sword (well, almost), Sam is the kingdom of Thule’s best hope against the violence wrought by demons. The only problem is that Sam is really Lady Samantha, daughter of the seventeenth Duke of Haywood, and if her father has his way, she’ll be marrying a Paladin, not becoming one. But Sam has never held much interest in playing damsel-in-distress, and so she rescues herself from a lifetime of boredom and matrimonial drudgery. Pity that Tristan Lyons, the Paladin assigned to train her, is none other than the hero of her childhood. He hasn’t recognized her as Lady Samantha--yet-- but if he does, he’ll take away her sword and send her packing. Sam is not the only trainee hiding secrets: Braeden is a half-demon with a dark past that might be unforgivable. Sam, Braeden and Tristan set out for the western coast, charged with rooting out an infestation of demons that has made the West unlivable. As they travel, they uncover a deep-seated corruption of power that threatens to derail everything they stand for. Rebellion stirs, led by a rival faction of warriors who tempt Sam to join them with an irresistible offer. A war between men is coming, and Sam must pick a side. Will saving the kingdom cost her life -- or just her heart? Reminiscent of Mulan, but with a medieval fantasy twist, Paladin is a tale of adventure, action, and romance.
