Human InstinctsAuthor Ioana Visan is pleased to announce the release of her apocalyptic novella Human Instincts:

Dr. Deanna Nichols is a geneticist searching for a cure to save the world. After the war nearly destroyed it by releasing an aggressive virus, it was the vaccine that killed the humanity’s chances for progress and survival. Deanna feels guilty because she has participated in creating the vaccine, and General Mackenzie never lets her forget that.

Their luck changes when they are contacted by the convicts held in a secret military prison hidden in the arctic desert. The C deviance criminals are willing to negotiate and provide unaffected DNA samples in exchange for supplies and a visit paid by the doctor herself. Suddenly there’s hope, so Deanna embarks on a dangerous journey to a grittier reality than she had expected.

Could a woman alone save the world?

Steven Greenberg Announces the Release of His New Book: Enfold Me

Enfold Me CoverAuthor Steven Greenberg has just released his new dystopian suspense novel, Enfold Me. It became available on May 28, 2012 and can be purchased through Amazon.com and may be loaned through the Prime program.

Written by an Israeli, Enfold Me is a dark journey into a chillingly-realistic post-Israel Middle East.

Precipitated by a massive earthquake and an Iranian-led attack, the fall of Israel rips Daniel Blum from his suburban life and scientific career. Alone and scarred, he endures subjugation and terror in Hamas-controlled Northern Liberated Palestine.

Now, Daniel must follow George Farrah, a figure from his past, deep under the Carmel mountain and through Egyptian-controlled, quake-ravaged Tel Aviv. Haunted by tragedy, Daniel strains the bonds of duty and family as he and George uncover a secret that could alter the region’s balance of power.

Dr. Ezra Marcus of the Recanati Institute of Maritime Studies at the University of Haifa says, “The key to this narrative’s success is its verisimilitude: it is too familiar, too realistic and much too uncomfortably believable. The result is engaging and tension-building story that grips you as it disturbs you.”

 

 

eBookit Releases “Tale of the Taconic Mountains” by Mike Romeling

Tale of the Taconic MountainsEveryone had an agenda, and was it only coincidence that they came together in the same village nestled in the ancient Taconic Mountains? Completely involved with their own pursuits, the visitors were unaware of older agendas within the dying town and on the ridges of the brooding mountain with its secrets, dark mysteries, and the seemingly ageless Boudine Sisters.

And if the result could be laced with humor and absurdity, it was always tempered by this truth: sometimes, deep in the heart of the New England mountains, something is going on, both lighter than air and darker than starless night.

Tale of the Taconic Mountains was published in March of this year by eBookit. It is available for purchase on Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble and eBookit.
