Get ready to blast-off into a new realm of sci-fi. Author Christopher F. Cobb's The Slant Six seamlessly blends science fiction intensity with NASCAR-style racing, in space!

The audiobook will be narrated by film and television actor Matt Weight. Mr. Weight has worked on the feature film Hell Town (2015) and the television series Rescue Me (2007), among other roles.

​​The year is 2252 and Loman Phin is in trouble. A washed-up channelship racer turned freelancer, he hits pay dirt with his latest mission: a fortune is on the line if he can transport forty-three kilograms of human skin to a remote villa on Pluto's moon, Nix. Little does he know his very life is at stake when he gets caught up in an ancient feud, chased by a space vampire, and forced into a death-race by the king of Ceres. Meanwhile, danger is always hot on his heels in the form of a massive space freighter out for Loman's blood. With just his wits, his friends, and his beat-up cruiser, the Slant Six, Loman sets out on the most dangerous adventure of his life.

New Zealand travel writer and horror author Simon Petersen presents Slasher Sam, a fresh take on horror that's certain to chill your blood.

Beware: this book is not for the faint of heart, the weak of stomach, or the soft of bowels. In these pages are the blog entries of one of the most depraved serial killers of the 21st century—Slasher Sam.

Taking inspiration from several generations of horror films, Sam guts countless victims in creative ways, and posts these exploits to SlasherSam.com for the world to see, putting readers so close to the action that they’re practically in the splash zone when the blood goes flying. And is there ever blood—Sam’s a savvy killer, too well-versed in horror film lore to make rookie mistakes, which is why the kill count scores well into the double digits.

Visit www.SlasherSam.com if you dare, just remember: in cyberspace, everyone can hear you scream...

Today we are pleased to announce Shadows And Teeth, Volume 1 has been recognized as a finalist in the 19th annual Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards.

As part of their mission to discover the best books from small, university, and indie publishers, Foreword Reviews hosts its annual awards program each year. Finalists represent the best books published in 2016, narrowed down by Foreword’s editors from over 2,200 individual titles across 65 categories. A complete list of finalists can be found at: https://awards.forewordreviews.com/finalists/2016/

“Choosing finalists for the INDIES is always the highlight of our year, but the choice was more difficult this time around due to the high quality of submissions,” said Victoria Sutherland, publisher of Foreword Reviews. “Each new book award season proves again how independent publishers are the real innovators in the industry.”
​INDIES finalists are moved on to final judging by an expert panel of librarians and booksellers curated specifically for each genre and who will determine the books who will be named Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Award winners. Winners in each genre—along with Editor’s Choice winners, and Foreword’s INDIE Publisher of the Year—will be announced during the 2017 American Library Association Annual Conference in Chicago on June 24, 2017.

Critical Acclaim For The Gullwing Odyssey

3/7/2017

0 Comments

 
Readers' Favorite has published a brand-new review of our fantasy/comedy The Gullwing Odyssey. As the fastest growing book review site on the Internet, they provide quality reviews for publishing houses large and small, including Random House, HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, and many others.

Below is an excerpt of their review.
I absolutely loved this story! It’s a fantasy, comedy, coming of age, adventure all wrapped up into one hilarious, witty, laugh aloud tale! The writing is superb–Simon has mastery over the English language and knows how to draw readers in with his elaborate storytelling charm. The humor sets the tone throughout.

The characters are full of depth and definition, and the settings explicitly detailed, filling the readers heads with wondrous pictures and fantastical imagery.

While seemingly geared toward the YA crowd, I find the story will appeal to all ages, mostly due to the humorous elements. I give “The Gullwing Odyssey” by Antonio Simon, Jr. a highly recommended five-star rating.
