Tangled Ties to a Manatee
By: Kalen Cap
Kindle Edition $3.99 now FREE

A pregnant manatee is rare at any zoo, and a first for the Grove City Zoo in Ohio. Ankh is a delight to zoo patrons, a concern to its staff, and the unintentional victim of two con men. She has no idea how many human relationships, problems, and dreams tangle around her.

Jerry is a young developmentally disabled man who happily follows Ankh's pregnancy on the zoo's webcam. He has a shy crush on Janelle, a pretty college student who volunteers for his group home’s outings to the zoo.

Jerry's Aunt Vera also loves nature and runs an environmental retreat center. But all is not well, with Vera or the center. The center needs money and is under investigation as a cult.

Amid their college studies, Janelle and her friend Cecily try to help. Instead, Janelle re-awakens an old obsession in Vera when an innocent tarot reading hints at how the center might be saved.

Two bumbling con men are attempting to sabotage the region’s electrical grid as part of a lucrative scheme. But Jerry accidentally gets in their way and becomes their captive.

When the con men surprisingly succeed in bringing the grid down, it spells danger for Ankh, her unborn pup, and the many people tied to them both. With investigations of their own, Cecily and Janelle try to untangle it all to find Jerry, save a manatee’s life, and rescue Vera from herself.

Tangled Ties to a Manatee is a humorous crime thriller with environmental themes. The novel is revealed through multiple points of view and centers around college-aged characters.




The Godless Land
By: AJ Cooper
Kindle Edition $0.99 now FREE

"The land of Molkoro once had a god, a mighty panther god," the sailor said. "At the time the ettins arrived from beyond the sea in their black-sailed ships, the people of the jungle worshiped the great Jhub-El. He was a mighty god, but he had one weakness: Trust."

Pietro, a young man, has never killed: something rare for the corrupt city of Peregoth and totally alien to the tropics of Molkoro, where circumstances will soon take him. In the sweltering jungle, his purity has become a commodity to the ettin invaders and their lord, the dark Vexor.

But how long can his innocence last in a godless land?



Thieves and Outcasts
By: Dianna Moore

The Crystal Empire is taking over the world. What they never grasped was their greatest threat wasn’t the adults but the kids. Finder is a six-year-old elf that never heard the word impossible. Someone stole her memories, and she plans to get them back. If taking on the full empire is what it takes, well she could use a few good things to shoot. Devin is a human teenage who just wants to do art, and the occasional side job for the thieves’ guild. The empire has other ideas, and they’ve made him public enemy number one. If they want an enemy, he’s willing to provide them with one. The Outcast and the Freedom Fighter are about to join forces, and when they do, no one will stand in their way.
