Daniela, after visiting Greece with her lover and companion, NIcasio, has grown in independence and curiosity about the mysterious goings on centered around the remarkable Amazonian tomb found on the cliffs of Big Sur. While on the Greek island of Andros, she has become inspired to be secretly radicalized and now will participate in the ancient society, the "Penthesilea Sisterhood." Returning to  California, she becomes active  with this growing movement, which is soon to be released upon the world as an international movement.  Reaching the inner workings of the society, Daniela will be made aware of a phenomenal event, orchestrated by the Sisterhood, which is also destined to make history-and radically change the world's attitudes towards females significantly and for ever.All Rights Reserved

The Amazon Triangle (NaNoWriMo 2016 Project) by KartheyM

Best friends Ben, Justin, and Edie are surprised and excited to wind up on the same tropical cruise together. Their parents? Not so much. Ben's father Hank used to be good buddies with Justin's father Frank--but the two men have drifted apart over the years. Unbeknownst to Hank, Frank had been dating Janet at the time, and she ended up dumping Frank just before he met Hank. After graduating, they went their separate ways, and the three never figured on seeing each other again.... Until Janet's daughter Edie meets Ben at college and the two begin dating. Now all six of them are on the same cruise, and things could not get any more awkward. To make matters worse, a freak storm blows the cruise ship through the Bermuda Triangle and the six travelers escape by lifeboat into the Amazon River--where they discover a shocking secret: Mermaids from another dimension, able to shed their scales and walk on land as the freakishly-tall Amazons of legend, have been living in the jungle for several decades. A cataclysm has tangled the two dimensions in a never-ending time loop dating back to the end of World War II--and what is more, the Amazons are being hunted down by Japanese soldiers also trapped in the time warp. Can the six adults set aside their differences and work together to escape before the Japanese soldiers kill them along with the Amazons, or will they need to figure out how to separate the two dimensions before the primitive Amazons decide to sacrifice them all?

Sun Kissed by CocoNichole

"They become like us, but beautiful. Dangerously beautiful. Oh yes. And they can make the sky do their bidding. They cast spells with their music that can take away your willpower. And their hair . . . is the color of blood." *** There's a legend in the Amazon that tells of attractive and dangerous shapeshifters known as Encantados. When Sofia Aguilar meets one in the flesh, her life is turned completely upside down. Can she reunite a legendary shapeshifter with his past without losing touch with her own reality? *** "We call them . . . Encantado." The word was familiar, yet it tickled Sofi's inner ear in a way that only foreign sounds could. It felt like a name from another world. Somewhere far and lost. Somewhere that should have never been or perhaps might never be. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Stunning cover done by the exceptionally talented @LigiaNunes Copyright © 2015 by Coco Nichole

Amazon by cherrie_bomb

"We will never bow to man." For years the Amazons have been living isolated from men, only leaving to find a suitable man to mate with, to produce more girls. They would never bow to a man; they would rather kill a man than marry a man. They have stayed hidden, participating in wars against men, the women have stayed strong in their resolve, and they have never weakened to a man and would rather die than ever become a slave to a man. Rhea is young and has finally come of age; it is her turn to go out into the world to find herself a man to produce a child with. Rhea would much rather get it over and done with, she was wanted to prove she was not the weak link, she just wanted to fulfil her duty and head back to her small village. But Bastian-a Greek warrior-is as stubborn as she is and brings a lot of trouble with him. (this amazing cover on the side was made for me by @Ashihara and @appetence, thank you both so much!)
