My new short story, Emily Smiles for April, will be free for download on Amazon Kindle this weekend (4/20-4/21). It’s a young adult/chick lit story, but the themes are universal. Anybody can read it. No, scratch that. Everybody should read it.
Here’s the breakdown:
Emily receives a bouquet of violets for her sixteenth birthday. She thinks they remain in a vase on her nightstand, but they keep showing up in the most unusual places.
In a perfect world, this mysterious phenomenon would elicit a bewildered smile from Emily, but Emily doesn’t doesn’t smile much anymore. Then again, Emily’s world is far from perfect.
If you like this story, check out my other ones too. And please feel free to leave a review.
Thanks, Jay! I'll going to download it now. I'll try to have your review on goodreads and amazon by Monday.

Here's the synopsis:
A secret lies buried beneath the haunting statuary in Old Willow Cemetery. In Concord, Massachusetts, the surrounding woods are alive with the spirits of transcendentalists Emerson, Thoreau, and Alcott. Elias Hatch, the cemetery keeper, is the last of modern-day transcendentalists. Does he know the secret power buried in Old Willow Cemetery? Would he ever reveal it?
Next door to this cemetery is a lovely gabled house. When the Brooke family moves in, the secret of Old Willow strikes. On a cold afternoon in March, five-year-old Henry Brooke does not arrive home from the school bus stop. Antonia Brooke is frantic her child is missing, or—the unspeakable—stolen. Adam Brooke spends a harrowing night searching the Concord woods, fear gripping him as hours pass with no leads.
Finally, a police dog tracks Henry’s scent inside Old Willow Cemetery. Detective Mike Balducci suspects that Elias Hatch knows the truth about what happened to Henry. Balducci knows Hatch’s metaphysical beliefs. What Balducci discovers buried in the cemetery is beyond the grave, beyond apparitions or shadowy drifts rushing through the pine trees.
There are the dazzled faces in the darkened air � and their secret.

Book Description
We left feather-phobic demon Azarial inadvertently breaking rules by helping her Nightchild friend, Kalesh, through his coming-of-age, and trying to come to terms with her Mom being a Fallen Archangel.
Still wanting to find out her Father’s identity, Azarial, and her sidekick Tonk the imp, battle Harpies, encounter Cupid, meet the Creator and even endure a trip into Prime Lord Jarath’s mind. But worst of all...
Well, to find out what that can be, you’ll have to join her and her friends in the next episode of Azarial’s story � Hell is Where the Heart is.
Hopefully she will find the answers to the questions niggling away in her mind - Where (and what) is her Father? Will Kalesh become a Stealer of souls? Can she find the reason why the people she loves have turned away from her? Will she be successful in an attempt to get back at them for rejecting her?
Only time, and a little ancient, forbidden magic will tell.

Just joined the group, and looking forward to connecting with fellow members and your work.
My YA sci-fi/adventure, "The Seeedbearing Prince: Part I" is available on Amazon:

The title is currently free. Part II is expected out this summer, so if you enjoy Part I enough to continue on with the series, send me a message and I'd love to send you a preview copy.

My latest novel, The Seer's Daughter was released this week, and I would love to offer a free copy to anyone who wants to review a steamy (adults only) romantic suspense/thriller.
A sexy Aussie Detective. A witch who doesn't know her power. A demon who could destroy them both.
To save her, he must let go of everything he ever believed.
Details and excerpts on my website, athenadaniels.com
Blurb:
Upon returning to her hometown for her grandmother’s funeral, Sage Matthews is terrorized by a series of strange events. She dismisses each eerie occurrence as a by-product of her overwrought emotional state, until it becomes chillingly clear that something not of this world is desperate to get a message—or is it a warning?—through to her�
Detective Sergeant Ethan Blade comes to Cryton, South Australia, to catch a serial killer. When Ethan meets Sage—the latest victim’s beautiful granddaughter—his attraction to her is explosive and inconvenient. He knows she’s not crazy, but Sage’s theory about the murders is unbelievable.
With the handsome detective rejecting her ideas, Sage embarks on the supernatural journey that her grandmother started. What she discovers shatters everything Sage ever knew about herself—and who she really is.
Ethan’s routine case quickly turns personal when he discovers Sage is the killer’s next target. For her, he’ll break all the rules and cross every line. But how can he protect Sage from an evil he cannot even conceive of?
