Author You name it Andrew Peterson delivers it in Forced to Kill, book two in his Nathan McBride series. First rate thriller. First rate killer. First rate hero. First rate author. “Absolutely bone-chilling,” “Brilliantly plotted,” are just two of the adjectives NYT Bestseller Brad Thor uses to describe Forced to Kill.
Andrew’s talent to make scenes real and to dig deep into the emotions of his characters by giving them hard choices keeps a reader on the edge of his seat through every action packed page.

FEATURED ARTICLE: Tera Kleinfelter – A Dream Come True
In 2010, Tera’s dream came true. From the time she was a little girl in the farming state of Indiana, Tera immersed herself in books. She would much rather dream of faraway places and magical stories than spend time watching corn grown and cows feed. So Tera studied hard, worked tirelessly and held “evil” jobs as she plotted how she could be the heroine of her own story and make her dreams come true.
Then along in 2005 came an odd knight in shining armor from Georgia called, Samhain Publishing, a little known small ebook/print press with the big dreams of Lady Christina Brashear on his shoulders and girding his loins. Knight Samhain faced the fire-breathing dragons attacking the publishing world and began slaying a path of success through the carnage of a shriveling market and unstable economy. From sexy to suspenseful, Knight Samhain championed all genres of fiction with its talented crew of professionals and emerged as a knight to be reckoned with amid the exploding next generation of publishing gurus. Knight Samhain saw the merit in Tera’s talent and brought her on board to be a full-time acquiring editor, making her dreams come true.

FEATURED ARTICLE: A Modern Day Renaissance Woman – Sheila Clover-English
Where can one possibly begin the tale of Sheila English, the CEO of Circle of Seven Productions which is now part of Reader’s Entertainment Group? Do I start with her as a child growing up in California with dreams of being an author one day. Or tell about a woman whose love of story and writing led her to become an award winning script writer? There is so much to say that almost anything written would fail to grasp the essence of this dynamic woman or the force she has become in book marketing. Yet, I will still attempt to share with you who Sheila is and for what she stands.
She is a woman of brilliant vision. Years ago, Sheila realized that marketing the written word with visual images and well chosen sound bites would revolutionize the way books were sold. She was told her idea had no merit. She was told she would fail, but she quietly pursed her vision and made it happen. Yet, this part of the story doesn’t stop here. Sheila continually expands her multi-media approach to marketing story via new and innovative technology.
