HACKS by Brian Knight

When novelist Jim Eldridge receives an invitation to a writer’s retreat on Washington State’s Mount Misery, it seems like the perfect escape from the last days of his dead marriage.  Jim accepts the invitation to the Hacks Club, and joins the other guests, including the legendary H Casper, and Best-seller Heather Woods, for a week of fun and relaxation.

Someone in those woods is not happy to see them.

The body count rises, and the survivors band together to fight the relentless killer.  Will they escape the nightmare on The Devil’s Tail Ridge, or die trying?

DAUGHTERS by Steve & Melanie Tem

Four diverse characters collide in an ancient world of darkness and magic: the amazon Gwynn, the princess Evonna, the wizard Alden, and the beast Thet. Out of that collision comes an unforgettable novel of endings and reconciliations, the death of magic and the birth of technology, and the eternal struggle between darkness and light.

Highborn Evonna is unhappy with her constricted choices and troubled by her brother Alden’s dabblings in wizardry. In the great city that is her home, where nothing unplanned ever happens, something has gone terribly wrong. Everywhere are signs of chaos and creeping madness, rumors of plague, and intimations of worse to come. But what can Evonna or Alden do? The answer comes unexpectedly, with the terrifying visit of the subhuman Thet and the sudden appearance of the amazon Gwynn, who harbors a shocking secret. Together, the four unlikely companions bring unimagined change to the city… and are themselves changed in unimaginable ways.

Yet the chaos continues to spread. Desperate, our heroes leave their dying home and embark on a hellish journey to the far mountains. There they will come face-to-face with a malignant darkness determined to forever unbalance the world… a darkness as insane as it is evil.
