Two volumes of the Ryel Saga by Carolyn Kephart are marked down for the month of May: Wysard
and Lord Brother
.The wysard Ryel leaves the great Art-citadel Markul to rediscover the long-lost spell that will release his mentor's spirit from the wraithworld of the Void, but a malignant sorcerer likewise imprisoned has enlisted the aid of Ryel's strongest rival to find the spell first. Amid dangers, joys and temptations, Ryel discovers unlikely allies to help him in his quest, and learns that he may well gain all that he wishes...although perhaps not as he wished it. Wysard and its sequel Lord Brother have been critically acclaimed as lyrical, exotic, archetypal tales of love and magic-fantasy at its highest and most heartfelt.

Ariana's Pride
by Margaret LakeAriana’s Pride is an historical romance set during the Wars of the Roses. The story commences shortly after the Battle of Barnet where Warwick The Kingmaker was killed and Edward IV has just taken his throne back from the mad king, Henry VI. This one decisive battle affected the lives and attitudes of Ariana and Jeremy.
Ariana Devoe is the willful and arrogant daughter of Earl William. What happens when she finds that she has lost her home and family? Will she lose her heart, too, as she struggles to reach the elderly Baron to whom her father has promised her? Or will she throw away her chance to avenge her father’s death and regain her titles and estates to be with the dashing Jeremy?
Jeremy Gowen has lived most of his life in the Earl’s stables, but does not intend to end his days there. Aided by the stablemaster, once a soldier in the King’s service, Jeremy secretly learns horsemanship and sword fighting.
After the attack on her father’s castle, Jeremy finds Lady Ariana, lost and alone. He promises to take her to the Baron, but as their journey progresses, he is no longer willing to turn the woman he loves over to another man. Jeremy holds the secret which could make Ariana his, but he wants her to love him for his own sake.
Are You Still Submitting Your Work to a Traditional Publisher?
by Edward C. Patterson isn't one geared towards the casual reader, but instead to the independent authors out there wanting to be published. I don't know if he considers his sales a success, but I do know he is always changing prices on this books (Bobby's Trace
is back down to 99 cents this week) and is a presence in several forums, actively promoting his books (all seem to have a gay theme or characters, some are set in historical China).
