(A Valkyrie Novel – Book 1)
Now available at Amazon
EXCERPT:
...That day I knew for sure. I'd lost control of my tears then. They fell in huge, mocking drops. I stared at Joshua through those bitter tears, my heart missing beats as I tried to remember to breathe.
I finally knew what the glow meant.
I was a freak and Joshua was going to die....
DESCRIPTION:
Bryn Halbrook had always seen the glow. But it is only when her best friend dies that she discovers the meaning of those beautiful golden auras—Death. Alone, lost in the foster system, she struggles to understand who she is and why she was cursed with the ability to see the soon-to-be-dead.
The new foster kid, Aidan, isn’t helping any. Mr. Perfect seems to fit in no matter what, making her feel even more pathetic. But when his affections turn to her, Bryn finds him hard to resist. Impossible, actually. A mystery himself, Aidan disappears, leaving behind a broken heart and a mysterious book that suggests Bryn might not be entirely human.
Bryn stands at the threshold of a journey of discovery. Will destiny help her find herself, find her purpose and her place in a world in which she’d never belonged?
DEAD CHAOS
(A Valkyrie Novel – Book 3)
Coming Early 2013
EXCERPT:
My wings.
They’d taken my wings.
A sob caught in my throat, but though I desperately wanted to cry out, no sound left my lips. I struggled to take the next breathe and for one hysterical moment I could not breathe. My body held traces of numbness from whatever drugs still swam through my blood.
My vision clouded at the edges, darkness threatening to take over, to take away the pain.
I almost gave in.
Almost.
DESCRIPTION:
Valkyrie Bryn Halbrook is faced with her worst nightmare. With her wings hacked off by Aidan's father, she fights against her worst nightmare – what if she can never get her wings back?
Not only does she have to find a way to get them back, but she has to face the truth about Aidan – Loki's grandson. Bryn struggles to understand her feelings, but even as her relationship with Aidan begins to crumble, she refuses to break her promise to help him find his mother and sister.
The Frost Giants have brought Ragnarok to Asgard's door and Bryn and her team must find Heimdall and his special horn before they can summon the gods to fight for Odin. When a visit to the three sisters of Fate takes Bryn to the Yggdrasil, the Cosmic Tree, she is forced to make a horrible choice.
In the exciting follow-up to DEAD EMBERS, the nine realms are poised on the brink of the great war of Ragnarok- the end of the world as we know it—but will Bryn be able to make the ultimate sacrifice to save the world?

FORBIDDEN FIRE
Book 2 of the Forbidden Trilogy
by Kimberly Kinrade
This YA Paranormal Adventure is now available at Amazon.
She escaped, but she’ll never be free.
"Time held no meaning as my mind darted in and out of memories. Past and present collided to create a full-sensory collage out of my life: playing hide-n-seek with my best friends Luke—who always cheated by walking through walls when he was about to be caught—and Lucy; Mr. Caldrin critiquing my sketches and offering ideas to make them more realistic; targets changing faces, blending into the same person, their thoughts rippling through my mind like waves. Through it all, a demon stalked me from the shadows of my memories, never quite showing its face, but crouching, waiting.
And then I dreamed…."
~~~~~~~~~~
Sam and Drake may have escaped, but they aren’t free—not with a powerful Seeker after them. As Sam struggles with the ethics of her new powers, and embraces a blossoming physical relationship with Drake, Lucy and Luke face challenges of their own.
With forces coalescing inside and outside the Rent-A-Kid dorms, it’s only a matter of time before the fire they started forces each of them to make choices they can’t undo. But will it be enough to save them?
EULOGY
by D.T. Conklin
This Dark, Epic Fantasy is now available at Amazon.
"They’ll stand amongst the corpses of the beloved." That’s what he said at the end, though I never considered myself one of the beloved, not at the beginning. I was simply a terrified woman then, but now… now I understand. Maybe I wish I didn’t.
Void take me, this is so demon-damned hard.
In the beginning, he loved me. Irony, it twists and twirls like a lover’s song, but this is hardly a lover’s tale. It’s one of blades and blood. I wish I could’ve seen it sooner, but that would’ve been too easy. I wouldn’t have learned to love him.
~~~~~~~~~~
5-Star Review: "Conklin writes with a poet's flair, using minimal words to deliver maximum dramatic impact. Visceral, shocking, and deeply imaginative, Eulogy pushes to the edge . . . and then dives right over it. An unapologetic, no-holds-barred descent into madness--yet there is method in it. Readers with the fortitude to take the plunge stand to be rewarded with what may go down as one of the most ambitious, redefining forays into epic fantasy of all time." – Eldon Thompson, Author of The Divine Talisman
5-Star Review: "Some epic fantasies are straightforward tales of magic and adventure, where a band of heroes fights and defeats an evil overlord. Eulogy is not such a tale. Conklin's book overflows with magic and adventure, but the book is a puzzle -- a maze of secrets and wonders, implications and hidden meanings. A treat for readers who love a challenge!" – Tom Crosshill, Nebula-nominated Author
