THE MISSES BRONTË'S ESTABLISHMENT, by AMY WOLF
Price: $13.75 $2.99 (save 78%)
329 pages, with a 4.7-star rating from 12 reviews

" I have loved the Brontes for years, and now I really feel like I know them. When Maria is there for the writing of WUTHERING HEIGHTS & JANE EYRE, it is really exciting! I never knew that these books were so reviled when they 1st came out. I love the happy ending, and all of the romance. I want to marry Branwell! Recommend to anyone who loves the Bronte’s books.

I love historical fiction, and this book is one of the better ones. The author really pays attention to detail, and you feel like you’re in the period. I am really glad I didn’t live during Victorian times! I liked the way that Maria’s character developed: she goes from being kind of an idiot to someone who really loves to learn. I never knew that much about the Brontes, but now I really feel that I do. Excellent. " -- Amazon Reviewer

Meet Maria Shelby, the spoiled – and rich – daughter of an English knight. She has a habit of getting into trouble: at eighteen, she’s already been sacked from six schools. No one else will have her, except: The Misses Brontë’s Establishment in Haworth, a remote Yorkshire village. With time, Maria comes to appreciate the genius of her teachers: Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Brontë.
Part suspense, part Victorian novel, this novel takes the reader on a profound literary journey along with young Maria.

Enter a novel dreamscape. You'll never be the same.

  

It is 2020 and oligarchs control science and religion.  A team of researchers from Silicon Valley are in Prague searching for dark energy. Exiled by a scientific and religious establishment dedicated to slowing innovation to a crawl, they work with graphene sensors and DMT to discover a new and more powerful source of unlimited energy.

The future collides with ancient Rome as the leader of the team, a controversial biologist, dreams of a past life in 48BC Alexandria. In his lucid dreams he falls in love with a priestess who serves Cleopatra and teaches him long lost secrets about ancient civilizations, the rise of monotheism and powerful interests who rewrote history and controlled the ancient world.

This is the first book in a series about the struggles between innovators and entrenched, powerful interests intent on protecting their empires. It is the second edition released July 2015 with edits/updates/corrections based on reviews pus two extra chapters.

"Fire and Dust," by Christopher Datta

This highly-praised historical novel vividly depicts characters and events of the Civil War. Read on!

Fire and Dust (The Fire Trilogy Book 2), by Christopher Datta
Price: $0.99
384 pages, with a 4.6-star rating from 9 reviews

"This is a gripping story, beautifully told. Set at a moment when the Confederacy, despite Gettysburg and Vicksburg, was not yet finally defeated but instead still had a chance to inflict major strategic damage on the Union, Datta's narrative, regarded from a Southern viewpoint, depicts how that chance was lost. Datta's characters in the Army of Tennessee wrestle with their consciences and their own demoralizing realization that the war, which will still go on for another year and a half, is already probably lost. Relying on archival material, Datta reconstructs the futile struggle of senior commanders, at this perilous moment, against the incompetence and willfulness of the Army's chief, while his subtly complex characterizations of ordinary soldiers -- simple and uneducated men who nevertheless show both tactical sense and insight into the nature of what they are continually asked to do -- is masterful." -- Amazon reviewer

Special Winter Sale!
Book II of the Fire Trilogy

In the fall of 1863, there is still a chance to prevent a Union victory in the Civil War.
Robert E. Lee’s most trusted senior commander, General James Longstreet, takes two Virginia divisions west to unite with General Braxton Bragg’s Army of Tennessee. Longstreet arrives just in time to join in the Confederate attack on the Union army at the battle of Chickamauga.

As the fate of the Confederacy is decided, this epic saga plays out against the backdrop of the love stories of Mexican war veteran Sergeant Sam Davis and the recently widowed Sally O’Grady, and of the young, poor and naive private Harry Kolb and Rachel Shaw, the daughter of a wealthy plantation owner. Their tales bring to vivid life the forgotten watershed moments of September, October and November of 1863, a period that more than any other determined the outcome of the war.

Fire and Dust narrates the history of the Civil War as it really was, and makes you a front row witness as the destiny of the Confederacy unfolds.

If you thought you knew the Civil War, think again. In Fire and Dust, Christopher Datta takes you beyond the clatter and gore of the battlefield to reveal the very hearts and minds of the Confederacy. His characters will haunt you like a rebel yell, sounding down through the years to touch you with their sacrifices, their struggles, and—most of all—their humanity.
