Books, books, books

I'm going to be out of pocket this weekend. I'll leave you with some reading material recommendations, so you'll have something to keep you busy (heh). 

Also, these are people I know, writing good stuff, and you might have missed the new releases they have! 

First order of business! Fantasy Treehouse Art & Architecture releases today, and I'm looking forward to what everyone thinks of my art book. Secondly, after taking their own sweet time with it, Amazon let the print version of The Deer Shot Back come out, so you can get a paper version to hold and love now. 

Shady Rest Mobile Home Park wasn't anything much... Small, old, and butted up against the Okefenokee swamp, with an 'eclectic' group of tenants, it was the target in a long time feud.

DK Thorne, a medically retired Marine, did his best to keep the place afloat, the tenants happy, and fight off the County. He was managing to do that until the local witch said 'things' were coming from the other side of the 'veil'...

And they did, but country boys and girls know how to survive.

A lost starship’s settlers turn one valley on an alien planet into a terraformed replica of Earth. The rest of the planet offers only hardship and madness. Despite the oasis First Landing provides, the ship's crew fled decades earlier with their fabricators, spacecraft, and knowledge when those controlling the valley threatened their freedoms.

The ship’s crew founded a separate colony on the southern plains. From there they spied on their former passengers, always fearful that the richer valley would come to take what they had. Even after a generation, the loathing persists.

A man in exile—

Peter Dawe faces an arid existence in a brother’s secret northern outpost. His work there has meaning and purpose, but when asked to journey to the southern settlement to help recover stolen weapons his brother needs, Peter has to defeat his own belief he shouldn’t expect too much from life.

A brother’s quest—

Determined to find the missing rifles, Peter works his way through supposed friends and allies to catch the real thieves. But can he overcome the prior generation's ruthless plans to stop him when his own life hangs in the balance?

His Terrible Stall is the fifth book in the gripping science fiction colonization series Martha’s Sons. If you like driven heroes and strange worlds, you’ll want to throw yourself into this one.

Mabel Murkwood has trouble keeping a Familiar. Hugh, a stately raven from England, lost his master in the Blitz. Warm conversation, a shared passion for botanicals, and many cups of tea forge a bond between this unlikely duo. However, life in East Texas isn't always easy, especially after a World War that left scars in the hearts of many of its survivors. While Hugh finds his footing in a new land, he also finds a new purpose helping his East Texas Witch.

Where is home for a Hunter?

Uneasy rests the head upon which rests the leadership of the River County Hunter clan. Arthur Saldovado's older brother grows distant and untrusting. Arthur must balance his duty to the senior Hunter with protecting the shadow mage Hunter in Shadows and preventing strife within the clan. Arthur's adopted daughter, Lelia Lestrang, watches and worries. That is, when she's not trying hard to keep from ordering her children to marry (she wants grandchildren!) and sighing mightily when her much loved husband leaves his clothes lying in front of the laundry hamper yet again.

Then a sorceress discovers the remains of a gate between the worlds, cast with blood-path magic.
