Marmalade and Magic Book 1: The Last Witch of Kalhoun Holler
After Jemma Nox’s mother left, what was left of her family’s world fell apart. Jemma knew she and her dad needed a change, but really?
Jemma would follow her dad anywhere. She never would have guessed that anywhere included the likes of Kalhoun County.
Planted squarely in the heart of Appalachia, this new home feels like anything but.
Jemma is strong, adaptable, and smart. She’s not going to let a little culture shock scare her.
But this place is different, and not just because the hottest hangout is the hardware store parking lot. It’s something in the air, in the water, and all those somethings lead to Elloise Brickellwood.
Ms. Brickellwood, or Mama B to those who know her, is a fixture of Kalhoun County. But is she more than just a venerable town elder?
The strange, sometimes sinister events that gather around her are just coincidences, aren’t they?
Jemma finds herself caught in the orbit of the strange gravity of this woman. Soon, she’ll get more answers than she could ever want…

The Progeny Wars Book 1: Daughters of the Watchers
Miracle child, or something else?
Her whole life, Angelica Santos has felt distanced from the rest of humanity by the sixth sense that has dogged her existence. Those she did connect with suffered grisly fates.
Angelica has always wondered about the mysterious circumstances of her mother’s death—which happened before Angelica was born.
The one person who could answer her questions is her father. Two problems with that.
He was the only suspect in her mother’s murder, and he’s been missing since then.
Newly independent after being raised by her abuela, Angelica’s life is small but good. She has a job she doesn’t hate and a studio apartment in the Bronx where she grew up.
Angelica’s ordinary world is shattered when she walks in on her grandmother being attacked by a hybrid worker of darkness.
She is drawn into the world of angels and demons when she is rescued by the Daughters of the Watchers.
Angelica learns she is being hunted, and FBI Agent Daniel Ortega invites himself onto the police investigation into the attack on her abuela.
Will Angelica survive getting the answers she seeks? Or will she be hunted down before the truth about her family drags her into the war between Heaven and Hell?

Roll For Initiative:
Game night will never be the same again for Terry, Jewel, Mandy, and Morgan.
The role-playing gamers thought they were getting together for a gaming session. Now they’ve been summoned into another reality.
One that looks and feels an awful lot like the games they’re used to playing.
But this is no game, and the Power that brought them here has plunged the players into a life or death battle. They must defeat their enemies and escape the dungeon, or die trying.
When the game becomes all too real, it’s time to roll the dice and play for keeps.
Can they forge a strong enough team to win through the challenges to come? Or will the Tomb of Malevolent Evil destroy them and doom this new world to darkness?
Soul Bottles:
Someone has been gathering up the scattered pieces of an ancient tome of magic. If the Codex is assembled, it will unleash the power to summon daemons.
Professor Derrick Watson, expert in daemonic languages, would prefer to remain secure in his ivory tower at a Philadelphia university.
Except, his most talented former students are being set up, and innocent people are dying as a result.
Can Watson track down the pieces of the Codex before more people fall victim to its power? Should he even try?
Watson finds that he has no choice. He is overly protective of his students and he’s the best person for the job. Which sucks for him. He’d rather continue with his pedantic research and play chess with his necromancer best friend.
But even in a world where magic exists, we seldom get what we want.
Watson is forced to navigate a maze of elementals, undead, and rival mages. Can he protect his friends and his community? Or will the other powers at play outwit the professor?

River Runs Red:
The growl came again, at the same time that his dad crawled out from under the leaning rock. The man pawed at the ground, his fingers cutting deep furrows in the hard-packed earth there. When he shook his head, foam and spittle flew in every direction. He stared at them with one eye—the other had been brutalized, liquefied somehow, a hellish soup of blood and eye goop and sweat mixing on what remained of his cheek—and although Wade could tell it was his father, he looked more like a wild thing, a monster, than anything human. The clothing that had been perfectly fine an hour ago had turned into rags and ribbons, barely concealing his skin. And he was strong. He had not only moved the big leaning rock, but his fists closed around smaller stones and pulverized them. He crept toward them on all fours, as if he had forgotten how to walk upright. Finally, for the first time, he spoke words that Wade could understand. “Wade,” he said. “Help…” As teenagers, Molly, Byrd, and Wade faced inconceivable evil in an underground labyrinth on the banks of the Rio Grande. Reunited as adults, they discover that their terrifying experience was only the beginning.

Gallow Hills Academy Year One: Sorrow and Joy
Free bird? Don’t make me laugh.
I’m Mavis Merlini and I want out. Of my shady family, this rowdy school, maybe even the world.
My brother got kicked out of Gallows Hill School for inciting mermaid violence. I’m determined to cut out all distractions and be the first of my six siblings to actually graduate. Which means living on campus and ignoring my extroverted roommate.
All my plans are doomed to failure when a goth lion shifter in a trench coat drops his feather. Of course I pick it up. It’s shiny and I’m a raven shifter. I swear I meant to give it back. But now it’s magically bonded to me and I can’t. Now I’ve got obligations to a Faerie Monarch on top of everything else. And if I shirk them, I’ll spend a hundred years in his dungeon.
Can I soar through this double life, or will I end up failing to launch?

Robin Cutler, President, LMBPN® Publishing, shares her thoughts on working with LMBPN for the last 18 months, what she’s been up to, the launch of the new Marlowe and Vane imprint, as well as a call for submissions.
Publishing with a different hat
By Robin Cutler, President of Worldwide Publishing for LMBPN®
Some 18 months have passed since I joined the venerable LMBPN team. After working for both Amazon and Ingram for the previous 15 years, becoming somewhat of a self-publishing guru (CreateSpace, IngramSpark,) I thought it was time to finally start that long-anticipated retirement. After working for these two publishing powerhouses and literally helping to launch the books of hundreds of thousands of authors all over the world, I felt I deserved a rest.
But Michael Anderle, CEO of LMBPN Publishing, whom I had met at the 20BooksTo50K Vegas conference in 2019, thought I wasn’t quite ready for the pasture. Just two days into that peaceful retirement he summoned me with the offer of becoming the President of Worldwide Publishing for LMBPN®. As they say in “The Godfather,” he made me an offer I couldn’t refuse.
What has been wonderful about working with Michael and the team is that it’s put me squarely back into publishing–finding and working with good authors to tell their stories and connect them to their audiences. The kind of publishing I was doing before joining LMBPN was more about growth strategies, sales projections, and web development and less about the creative work of authors. So I’m thrilled now to be back reading and listening to stories again.
Under Michael’s leadership, LMBPN has excelled in publishing urban fantasy and sci-fi. He and the team are geniuses at online marketing and reader engagement. So building on Michael’s success, we’re expanding our genre mix to include mystery and thrillers under a new imprint we’ve created called “Marlowe and Vane.”
Marlowe and Vane just launched its first series, Heinous Crimes Unit by Daniel Scott, at the beginning of August. You should check it out if you love really scary thrillers. Book 1, The Surgeon’s Scalpel is now available. Book 2, The Priest’s Fire, just released last week and book 3 is available for preorder.
If you’re writing series thrillers and interested in publishing with us, please submit a proposal at https://lmbpn.com/submissions/submissions-form/.
I’m also pleased to welcome these Urban Fantasy and Sci-Fi authors who have recently joined the LMBPN Publishing family. Lawrence Schoen and Brian Thorne (Demon Codex, Adrenaline Rush series); Talia Becket and Andrew Bellingham (The Time of The Dragon series); Cindy Gunderson (Unreal series—just launched and now #1 in its category); first-time book author, Brittany Hester (The Chosen Legacy series); and Alan B. Gibson (Magic at Myers Beach series).
I’m very much enjoying working with these creatives in bringing their works to life and helping them on their publishing journey. From where I sit, no other indie publisher does it better than LMBPN Publishing and the talented team that Michael Anderle has assembled. Life is good and publishing is fun once again.
