Emma wants to forget the pain and loss of the past few weeks, finding relief in the company of Ben Parker—a local boy whom she has an instant attraction and uncanny connection with. When Ben seems a little too preoccupied with other responsibilities and has no time for her, Emma turns to the town’s hottest flirt—Lucas Crandon—for affection. Unfortunately, she realizes a little too late that, sometimes, bad boys really can be bad for you. Told from Emma and Ben's alternating points of view, Aftermath is a story about love that lasts more than one lifetime. Aftermath has the essential paranormal romance elements and an interesting take on the afterlife. One thing that really intrigued us about this story is Ben's point of view. To Emma, Ben seems like a normal boy, but he's really an undercover agent for the Afterworld's Bureau of Investigation. He's torn between doing his job—kicking butt and taking down evil immortals— and rekindling his lost love. Ben—who died many years ago, has been searching for his wife in the Afterworld for years. What Ben didn't realize is that his wife isn't in the Afterworld. She's on Earth and Emma just happens to be her reincarnate.

She escapes with the aid of a small, fast-flying little drop of light and is led to a small cottage belonging to Finnegaff the Sorcerer. The little light turns out to be the fairy Belemeriath, a comic relief of the story.Mia learns she has been selected by Saa, the force employed by the wizards of Morrah, to perform a task vital to its replenishing. And that she, too, is a wizard, and can thus execute unearthly feats of magic. Mia cannot return home. She’s stuck on Morrah until she completes this vital task.Finnegaff escorts her to Marigaff’s Farm, a wizard training camp. Mia also learns the task assigned her is to carry the Book of Life to the Glen of Giants to read it and replenish Morrah’s sustaining power. This has happen every four hundred years. On her travels with Finnegaff as her guide, she must select, aided by Saa, one representative from each of the sentient species of Morrah to accompany her. The dark sorceress Eringaff, turned evil by the renegade elf wizard Gaff, seeks to seize the Book of Life which, will cause the balance of Saa to shift and allow Gaff world domination.Embarking on her journey, she is guided by Saa to select each representative as they pass through their respective countries. She picks mostly teens. Finnegaff, though always kind and wise, does not quite know how to handle teenagers and, as teens do, they play on this.Each selected representative possesses particular talents, though most are not wizards. Romessee, a member of a race of nomadic people, can feel other’s emotions as if her own. She is a member of Shadowlight Stand, stand being a synonym for tribe. Romessee refers to their little group as Mia’s Stand. The name sticks. Zim, a three-foot praying mantis, can fly and write very fast. Strongwind the centaur is powerful and fast, and eventually overcomes his prejudices toward mantids. Macca the dwarf is a novice wizard, though she’s very young and untrained. Caithya, a sylph, can broadcast fear and cause hysteria to her enemies. Belemeriath the fairy is a flirt (regardless of species) and a show-off, hyper, talks constantly, and is lots of fun.

Others are a dragon who breathes fire (what dragon doesn’t) named Cwyth, who can telepathically communicate with Mia; Geramel, a tomboy soldier who has defected from the dark sorceress’ army, has attitude, brains, and brawn. She can feel when others are lying. Carameth, the incredibly handsome, kind elf is quiet, knowledgeable and has connections. A gentle romance develops between the two.The romance is squeaky clean, as is the entire writing, and meant to promote good morals. Many other moral issues are addressed and overcome: prejudices, differences, value of life, bullying, abuse of power, compassion, the reality of war, respect for nature and more. Comedy is prevalent; a few parts are sad, and action is frequent.Throughout Mia’s travels, she and her stand are faced with many obstacles. They are harassed by the dark sorceress Eringaff and her minions, the darkhounds. Battles ensue, some large, some skirmishes. Mia often is the key in the turn of battle. They must pass through the Land of Lost Memories, where ghosts can take their souls and make them one of their own. A black cloud falls on the party, making the air thick and not breathable. Mia combats this with extraordinary wizardry. Through magic, Mia defeats a gigantic amoeba-like creature that incinerates everything in its path. Obstacles are around every corner, and Mia, though strong willed and fearless, is none the less modest about being the heroine.

Conner Kressley and Bruce Knight bring you a free preview series for three different books in one. We give you the first five chapters of The Breakers Code and Bell Watkins and The Mistrunners in addition to the first three chapters of The Hourmaker.www.sweetpotatopublishing.comBack in the day, I used to have a favorite show. I can't remember what channel it was on or what the name of it was, but the entire thing was just about showing movie trailers. A guy would come on, give you a snippet of information about an upcoming movie (Which I'm sure no one ever listened to), and then the trailer would come on.My dad caught me watching it one day and, when I explained to him that there was no show; that the coming attractions were the show, he told me that that was "just about the stupidest thing he'd ever heard".I knew he was wrong though. I knew that there were a lot of people like me, who'd gladly give 30 minutes of their lives a week to catch up on what was coming to the local theaters. I never understood the people who'd talk through the previews at the movies. Trailers were great. They got you pumped up. They got you salivating for what you knew was coming. They gave you a peek at the great entertainment coming your way, and let you dip your toe into a world that you would soon be able to dive into headfirst. So, here at Sweet Potato Publishing, we wanted to give you guys the sort of experience that we love so much at the movies. Below are tastes of some of the world’s we have in store for you.First Up:Cresta Karr has been struggling to put her life back together after the sudden death of her father. But, for a city girl like her, moving to the middle of nowhere, Georgia hasn't made it easy. Lucky for her, Owen, the cutest guy she's ever seen is there to help soften the blow.While trying to get up the nerve to tell him she likes him, Cresta inadvertently learns that Owen is harboring a secret that threatens to pull the entire world down around them. Turns out he's been watching Cresta, and his reasons for doing it will shake Cresta, and the future of the world, to their core.Next:Bell Watkins is your typical teenage guy, except of course, for the fact that he's famous. A tabloid staple because of his grandfather's book series, he's less than thrilled with his celebrity status. When his grandfather dies, he learns that the mystical world of his grandfather's books might not be so imaginary after all.When he's attacked by a mysterious creature and saved by a kickass (and pretty cute) warrior woman, Bell finds himself lost in a world that strangely resembles the stories he's ran from his entire life.And Then:Winston Cobb used to be the most popular guy in school. He had it all; a beautiful girlfriend, invitations to the most killer parties, and half the country's scouts drooling over his basketball skills. Unfortunately, an ill-advised joyride smashed his ankle, put his basketball dreams to rest, and catapulted him to the bottom of the social ladder.One night, while revisiting the site of the accident, Winston sees the girl he swore pulled him out of his burning car and saved his life; the girl no one else believed existed. Determined to prove that she is indeed real and that everything that happened that night wasn't his fault, Winston is pulled into a time hopping adventure where he learns that the past isn't always worth repeating.So there you have it. Three worlds we can’t wait for you to sink your teeth into. Read a bit. See what you like.Thanks so much for your interest. We appreciate you more than you know.Conner & BruceSweet Potato Publishing
