Genre: YA Paranormal Romance
60000 (appx) words
Gemma Hart never knows when her father is going to whisk her back in time. Her toes start tingling and she has a few minutes to find a secret haven where she can disintegrate and appear in another time and place. While “across the line,” her training and skills are put to the test as she completes a mission that will change history for the lucky few her father has selected.

Gemma’s parents are adamant that secrecy is paramount to her family’s safety. If people knew what they were capable of, they could be “used and abused”, as her mother always says. Afraid she might accidentally utter the truth and break the ancient oath of her people, Gemma spends her school days as a loner. Only one thing can throw her sheltered life askew… Harrison Granger.

Harrison never expected to talk to the strange Hart girl, but after a brief encounter he can’t stop thinking about her. He begins a campaign to chisel away her icy veneer and is met with unexpected consequences. As he slowly wins this girl over, he enters a surreal world that has him fighting to keep his newfound love and his life.

This title is available from Amazon US, Amazon UK, Smashwords and Barnes and Noble. Continue reading “Book Brief: Golden Blood (Book 1 of Time Spirit Trilogy)”

Antrobus Alert

Author David Antrobus
Police Artist Sketch of Author David Antrobus

Well, he did it. David Antrobus has managed to escape from the Indies Unlimited compound. Don’t worry, he won’t get far with those manacles on.

We’ve had a local police sketch artist do a drawing of our fugitive author, utilizing special proprietary law enforcement “age progression” software. This is what David should look like now that he’s been gone a week. If you see him, please let us know so that we may retrieve him. There was a recent Antrobus sighting in the Vancouver vicinity. He should be considered armed and dangerous.

Meanwhile, if you need your weekly Antrobus fix, please feel free to peruse the unabridged Antrobus literary collection here. And do let us know if you see him. Our tasers are set to stun.

T.D. McKinnon Joins Indies Unlimited

Author T.D. McKinnon

We are pleased to announce that T.D. McKinnon has joined Indies Unlimited as a contributing author.

T.D. joined the British Parachute Regiment when he was just fifteen years old. After spending five years in the British army he worked at a number of occupations including high risk security: event and venue security, close personal protection, cash and gem escort and armed, rapid response for a national bank group. His close personal protection company was responsible for the safety of a member of the Spanish royal family in the late 80’s and was also part of the anti terrorist security team for President George Bush senior’s visit to Australia in 1992.

He trained in the martial arts for most of his life and achieved mastery in several forms he represented at national level, both in Scotland and Australia. He now lives in Tasmania with his wife, professional actor, singer, dancer and editor Zoë Lake. You know, except for all the particulars, this reminds me of my own life.

Hmmm… it feels like I’m leaving something out. Oh right—he’s also a prolific author in the genres of action/thriller, speculative fiction, memoir and historical fiction. Please welcome T.D. McKinnon to Indies Unlimited.
