Launch Day! HER SHADOW SIDE by Jennifer West

When eighteen-year-old Josephine flees her abusive mother and the third-floor bedroom she was locked in, she hopes to start a fresh, simple life with her boyfriend Ben and their unborn child in a quiet northern town. But some wounds don't stay buried for long.

Though hopeful, Jo continues to see shadows no one else can see—hear whispers only she remembers from her childhood: the stories her beloved grandmother once whispered to her in the dark about the Fae.

After a devastating loss, Jo spirals. Reality bends. The shadows whisper. And the line between grief and madness begins to blur. As her mind fractures under the weight of old stories and new trauma, Jo clings to her grandmother’s folklore like a lifeline—until she can no longer remember where the stories end and where she begins.

"This book was born in the in-between — between naptimes, moon phases, and customers at the coffee shop.

It is my first novel, shaped in the quiet hours, in the margins of motherhood, and it carries the vulnerability and the chaos of a beginning...

I experienced two pregnancies and births during the writing of this book and since completing it, I’ve become a birth worker, honored to walk alongside people through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. With this knowledge, I would have written parts of this story differently. But I’m leaving it as it is: a snapshot of where I was then, a reflection of what I knew, felt, and feared most of all.  It is a reminder that we are always becoming. Always learning. Always deepening into our work.

And to anyone out there who picked up this book hoping for a little scare, this story is meant to be extreme. It’s folklore and fear, identity and unraveling, the weight of motherhood, and the shadows we’re told not to look at too closely. But beneath the fiction lies a very real truth — postpartum depression and psychosis are real — and they are not rare.

If you know someone who’s recently had a baby, check in on her. She probably won’t become murderous, but there’s a good chance she’s not totally okay. The postpartum period is deeply important to a woman’s experience as she integrates becoming a mother. It should not be ignored. She should not be ignored. Check on her. Care for her."

Jennifer West lives in British Columbia, Canada with her husband and three daughters. When she’s not painting glitter onto little girls’ eyelids or reading, she is cohosting the In Her Good Books podcast and hiking the mountains of the Okanagan.  In 2018, she opened her own coffee shop so that she would have a place to write and that’s where you can usually find her - writing horror and pouring latte art.

Launch Day! The Blight on the Deep Woods by Dale W Glaser

KELLAN OAKES is a private investigator just trying to make it through each day, working enough cases to keep his agency afloat. It pays the bills, barely, but beats having a real job.

KELLAN OAKES is a man who has spent time in two different worlds, and knows just enough about both to be helpful, or dangerous, depending on which side he’s on.

KELLAN OAKES is the son of Foltchain of the Oak, an immortal druid priestess revered throughout the mystical realm known as the Deep Woods.

And Foltchain of the Oak is missing.

The timing is bad, as his college buddy Juvie has just arrived in town to ensure Kellan enjoys a long-overdue vacation, while Phoebe, a hamadryad and childhood friend who now works as the receptionist for Kellan Oakes Investigations, needs help that only Foltchain can provide. 

As the three of them work together to locate Kellan’s mother, they must also unravel the true nature of the Deep Woods’ new affliction and its connection to Foltchain’s absence. 

The fates of at least two worlds, and countless lives, hang in the balance …

Available now in eBook, Audiobook and Paperback from Lycan Valley!

The special pre-order package deal is extended through Earth Day, April 22 ~ get all three and join Kellan, Juvie and Phoebe as they navigate through the Deep Woods.

Johnny Headcase's Birthday

 

Johnny Headcase's Birthday by Ken MacGregor

Johnny took deep, calming breaths and shifted into a shooter’s stance, not for a moment taking his eyes off the wolf.

It was a huge animal, standing almost five feet at the shoulder. Its eyes caught the moonlight and seemed to glow from within. Its fur bristled with menace.

It was maybe forty feet away, growling, low and hungry.

It sprang.

Johnny drew his pistol from his shoulder holster, lightning fast.

The wolf ran alarmingly quick, closing the distance.

Johnny shot it, putting all fifteen bullets in its head, shoulders and chest.

It dropped, unmoving, at Johnny’s feet. Johnny reloaded and pointed the barrel down at the supine lupine. He waited.

Fifteen seconds passed. The wolf’s body slowly morphed into that of a naked human man. He opened one eye, grinned, and opened the other. “How was that?” he asked.

“Good,” Johnny said. “Thanks.”

The naked man sat up. “Sure thing. Happy birthday! What do you want to do next?”

Johnny Headcase—big, tough as nails and surprisingly quick, especially with a gun and a roll of quarters. When he finds out vampires have invaded his town, he doesn’t hesitate to fight back. Pretty soon, though, he realizes just how many there are, and calls in reinforcements.

Katya—a healer and an inventor with a big heart. While quick and effective despite the wound or condition, her methods require her to harness and unleash the power of sex.

Lydia—a striking young (not quite human) woman who wears her favorite colors of pink and black shamelessly. She's fast and strong with a heart full of fiery determination and she's out for redemption, one bounty at a time.

Gavin—a wise ass werewolf who ditched his last name with the rest of his history. He lives to fight, loves to joke around and is fiercely loyal to his friends.

The four band together and join forces to take down King City's Master Vampire and his horde of vampires, demons, trolls and other monsters unleashed on the city in an effort to rebuild King City in his own twisted image. 

All four parts combined into one complete novel.

Part 1 — Bad Coffee and Worse Luck 

Part 2 — Coldblooded Hot Demons

Part 3 — Upping The Stakes

Part 4 — Storming The Castle

"A lighthearted, bonkers romp filled with over-the-top violence and casual sex, Headcase is what you'd get if the Underworld movies had a baby with Deadpool." — Patrick Freivald, Bram Stoker Award nominated author of JADE SKY and MURMUR.

“Like the A-Team on steroids, Johnny Headcase and his misfit team of bounty hunters are on the case to bring down a gang of vampires in seedy King City. Funny and fast, and with a great retro vibe, MacGregor and Lipp’s HEADCASE is a riotous and irreverent supernatural crime noir for grown-ups. A ripper of a tale.” — Lee Murray, award-winning author of Into the Mist.
