Noteworthy and Upcoming Events

This is usually the day we like to look into the coming month to see what exciting news and events our Lightning Quick Reads authors have for us, but it turns out that we've got two immediate announcements to share first.

JUST RELEASED:

Ghosts of Gannaway by Stuart West.

A ghost story, historical epic, suspense thriller. Love knows no bounds. http://amzn.to/1LxUugo

Ghost whispers echo through the mines of Gannaway. They have a story to tell. It’s the story of a town torn apart by greed, pollution and vanity, by racial discord between the Native Americans and the invading miners, by the Great Depression, by the violent union strikes of the 1930’s. That’s not all that brought Gannaway to its knees, though. Not by a long shot. Because something—else—lives in the deserted tunnels of the mine, something dark and evil. Something that breathes life into the Ghosts of Gannaway.

Ghosts of Gannaway takes the reader on a journey they won’t forget. ~ Paranormal Suspense Writer Gail Roughton

and 

The Boyfriend Project: A Boyfriend Series Novella by Mary Waibel

Samantha Jones’ world revolves around her neighbor, Jordan Kingsley. In fact, her boyfriend broke up with her because of the time she spends with Jordan. Sam longs to move their relationship to boyfriend/girlfriend level but there’s a problem. She’s afraid to ask him out because he’s one of her closest friends.

When her BFF, Emery, suggests using advice from her favorite romance novels, Sam reluctantly agrees. But will she find herself worse off than the heroines of her beloved stories?

It is her decision alone whether or not to bind herself to the Elixir to serve and protect it until it chooses a new guardian.
