Sand by K W Jordan [Original/Alt/Incomplete]
In a post-apocalyptic world, it’s living that’s hard. Questions go unanswered, needs go unmet, suffering goes unnoticed, and heroes are in short supply. But there’s always someone searching for answers and willing to go the distance—even if it is for a price.

Arena by Sammet [Conqueror/Alt/Incomplete]
As Empress of Greece, Xena has a lot on her hands – two wars to fight at the same time, peasants on the verge of revolting and impertinent noblemen constantly trying to outsmart her. Fearing a slave revolt on top of everything else, Xena finds the solution to at least one of her problems in a blonde slave with angry green eyes.

Darkwood by Sammet [Uber/Alt/Incomplete]
On her monthly visit to her favourite S/M club, Alex witnesses a young slave being sold by auction. On a whim she buys her and soon has to discover that the small blonde is more than she seems.

We're very happy to announce the release of not one, but TWO new titles this month!

In the Works , by Val Brown
Civil Engineer Anne Schneider and her business partner, Patrick Ford, are struggling to make their new business enterprise, Clearly Perfect Water Systems, successful. They land a contract for a major project involving tainted wastewater from the Big Tree Paper Plant near the tiny town of Wood Mill, southeast of San Francisco. The job requires Anne to be on site for six months, under the watchful eye Adehm Trent, from the plant's headquarters office in Detroit.
Anne takes on the job, despite the fact that it takes her away from her parents in Albuquerque. Her mother's health is failing badly, and her father relies on Anne to help with her care. Confident she can handle both her personal and her professional responsibilities, Anne heads to Wood Mill, ready to prove to Mr. Trent that Clearly Perfect Water Systems is equal to the task at hand.
One tiny problem… Mister Trent is really Ms. Trent, and not only that, but she's drop-dead gorgeous, to boot, not to mention a demanding employer.
Anne and Adehm find their way to workable relationships, both as colleagues and as something much more satisfying-until Anne's mother's condition deteriorates, forcing Anne to choose between fulfilling her obligations to Adehm and Big Tree and returning to Albuquerque to help her parents.
In the aftermath of Anne's choice, Adehm must face old demons that have haunted her for years. Like Anne, she too must decide what really matters in her life.
Everything was going so well, but now both Anne and Adehm have to contend with serious derailments of their plans. What will happen to their goals and dreams that were In the Works ?

And, in honor of National Poetry Month, Diminuendo, by Emily Reed:
Aptly named, this poetic composition hints at a rousing, consuming fire of ecstasy that dies down, dwindles, and finally ends, leaving only banked embers. Passion has played its course, and love drifts into a spiral of aching memories.
Not a crashing of cymbals or a beating of drums, Diminuendo is a plucking, strumming, and crying of the poet's heartstrings. Subdued but rhythmic beats coil through the reader, pulling, pushing, tugging, and then touching, with glimpses of a bared soul. One who has suffered any sort of loss will understand and relate to every word.

April Issue of Khimairal Ink is up:
Below was my blurb about the ezine being live. However, April 1st fools hijacked our Bedazzled Book Peddler site and we were worried other places would be compromised so we waited a day to make sure everything was clean and safe. Our Book Peddler site will be back up next week. We will have a special presale for our latest book, Lavender Ink, Ed. Fran Walker, so stay tuned! However, Khimairal Ink is now up!

Join us in welcoming spring with the April issue of Khimairal Ink. Enjoy the mix of new and returning authors, Renee Strider, Fran Walker, Lydia May, Jill Zeller and Tom Olbert, as they share their talents with us. Check out the new page-turning format of the ezine here: http://www.bedazzle dink.com/khimairal- ink/khicurrent.html

Twisted Secrets - Part 1 by Mickey Minner [Original/Alt/Incomplete]
Dorthea Furston is in her mid-50s and troubled. Raised by an aloof aunt, she has never felt wanted. Questions about her parents and the circumstances that separated them from her have gone unanswered. She desperately wants to know about her parents; and to know why she was left in the care of such an uncaring woman.
Kimberly Chadwich has been Dorthea’s best friend since the day they met in high school. Unlike Dorthea, who has never seemed interested in relationships with men, Kimberly has had many suitors over the years. Her most recent has proposed marriage but something is holding her back from accepting. She wonders why she can’t bring herself to agree to something she has always said she wanted.
The two women share an apartment and struggle to make right out of their wrong worlds. Will the anniversary of an event that took place when they were children bring the answers they are seeking?

Roxy by IseQween [Classic/Alt/Complete]
