But when her family moves to Salem, Massachusetts, and she finds the diary of a young girl named Elizabeth who was accused of witchcraft, she may need some help. Soon, Elizabeth begins to haunt Sadie, first in her dreams and then when she’s awake. As Sadie delves into Elizabeth’s journal, she slowly uncovers the secret Elizabeth needs to reveal, and it’s one that could change the course of history. Sadie needs help, and she wonders who, if anyone, she can tell about it. Worried that her friends and family wouldn’t believe her, or worse, prevent her from continuing her journey to find the truth, Sadie has a choice to make…and it’s not going to be an easy one.

The Bellringer by William Timothy Murray
The Bellringer by William Timothy Murray
For centuries, the Great Bell was silent…
It remained undisturbed, nearly forgotten by history, hidden away in the ruins of an abandoned fortress. The enchantments within its iron slumbered, its secrets protected by silence. Until someone discovered how to ring the Bell, other secrets would remain safe.
One day, while running an errand, a young store clerk took a wrong turn, then another, until he found himself deep within the old fortress where the Great Bell waited.
It waited for him.
And when the hapless clerk rang the Great Bell and released its enchantments, his troubles began.
For he had become the Bellringer.
He claimed it was all an accident, that he did not mean to ring the Bell. Fate, it seemed, thought otherwise, and proof of the Bellringer’s destiny began to emerge just as the world spiraled into war. Revolt and treachery worked to break apart the Seven Realms. Armies were on the march. The faraway King, obsessed with his own power, seemed unwilling or unable to prevent the looming catastrophe.
Perhaps a new King was needed…if only someone could penetrate the secret of the King’s power and take the throne before it was too late. It was foretold that the person who discovered the True Name of the King would become the next King. But who was capable of such a thing?
The Bellringer.
– – – – About THE YEAR OF THE RED DOOR:
244 Days Remain.
That is all.
The Year of the Red Door has begun, and four months have already passed by.
This is the story of the final days of the Second Age.
Uncanny things are taking place in the world, mysterious powers are stirring, and there are signs of coming change. Like pieces on a game-board, ancient forces are moving into position, gathering strength. Many sense the portents and see the signs, but few know their meaning. Fewer still understand what must be done. But who is there to do it?
In only 244 days, six intrepid travelers must cross thousands of miles, to the far edge of the world, to find a place that may not even exist. A legendary place called Griferis where a new king may be prepared, trained, and judged for worthiness. It is their bid to find that place, to discover the secret Name of the King, and to make one of their companions the new King. But hope is thin, and time runs out. Can the Name be found? Can the Usurper use it to take the throne? And will it make any difference? It already seems too late.
In the spirit of J.R.R. Tolkien and Charles Dickens comes a new heroic tale, a story of ageless love and brave determination, of tragic loss and the hope of redemption. During this quest, mythic powers arise from the ancient past, fate collides with destiny, and the world edges swiftly to its final destruction or to its ultimate fulfillment. Only the Bellringer can tip the balance of fate, but the world is almost out of time…

Featured Book: The Hoppernots by Deborah Blake Dempsey
How do you become a hero when everyone thinks you’re trouble?
Around Lake Fibian, Max, Cristobel, and Spyder are notorious. Stories of their pranks and troublemaking ways have followed them all of their lives. When they hear the tales about a creature called the Hoppernot, they believe the Elders are making up stories to keep young frogs (okay, mostly them) in line.
But when frightened Elders announce a Hoppernot sighting, the trio think they know exactly what to do. With a nose for adventure—and because the Elders are all talk and no hop—they sneak off to find out if the legendary creatures are real and discover Hoppernots not only exist, but they are destroying their home and putting lives at risk.
The adventure begins when Max, Cristobel, and Spyder issue a call to action to drive the dangerous creatures away from their beloved home. Along the way, they discover a secret weapon, an unlikely alliance, and they must find a way to make the Elders forget their troublemaking past and trust them enough to follow them into a battle of survival and fight for the lake they call home or risk losing it . . . and their lives.

Defiance: Dragonics & Runics Part I by A. Wrighton
At first, a collective power in the Seven Soleran Kingdoms made sense. United under the Council, they thought it would be the end of years of war and death.
When the Council ordered the systematic murder of those capable of wielding magic – Runics – as reparation for their role in the Soleran loss of the Great War, no one thought twice of the order.
Except a few Dragonics – prestigious dragon riders – who defied the damning orders and instead demanded justice. But, their call for defiance came too late.
NONE SURVIVED.
Now, those against the Council’s oppressive reign have long since been outcast to the fringes of society – their numbers and will dwindling. Alaister Paine, Commander of the Rogue Dragonics – an elite force of Resistance Dragon Riders – leads the quest for freedom and justice with little hope of success.
On the eve of a political victory for the Council, Paine deciphers one of his predecessor’s logs revealing that one Runic – a woman of untold magic – was hidden from the Council’s grasp.
Find the Runic, and the Rogues will finally be able to enact a legendary prophecy meant to free Solera and bring justice back to its people.
Trouble is… they are not the only ones searching for the last Soleran Runic.

How is Writing In Your Genre Different from Others?
I tend to write like I’m actually telling a story to someone who’s sitting next to me. I try and keep things flowing by giving details, but not to the point of boring readers to death. Over all I try and make it fun and interesting without getting too silly or serious.
What Advice Would You Give Aspiring Writers?
Just write. Don’t worry if your first draft is marred by spelling and grammar errors. Just keep going until you have a finished story. Then you can go back and edit the crap out of that thing. Seriously go to town on that bad boy.
Author Bio:
I moved around a good deal as a kid, but being a navy brat is like that. My dad read to me a good deal instilling a love for books and stories. I attended the Art institute of Toronto, where I learned a bit of art, but renewed my love of storytelling. I finished in 2006, and tried my hand at making comics and graphic novels and discovered that I can tell the story better when I don’t have to confine my characters to pictures. Words offer a bigger canvas, and more colors than I could possibly Imagine. In 2010, I wrote my first story “Misfortune” . It sat around until someone read it and said I should just put it on Amazon.com. That takes us to today… where I’m trying to promote my book…. and writing this… and this… and I’ll stop now.
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I always liked the stories about unlikely heroes. If they’re really unlucky all the better. What drove my writing for this particular piece, was that the main character was both, but his misfortune was the thing that gave him an edge. It’s what makes him special and is the driving force behind the whole story.

What Advice Would You Give Aspiring Writers?
Write about what inspires you and don’t let naysayers stop you from pursuing your dreams.
