Hi Everyone ♥ My name is Tamara and I am the owner of Tamara's One Stop Indie Shop (http://theindieshop.blogspot.com/). Not many of you know me, but I was hoping some of you would be willing to help me out! I am an avid blogger, reader, and service provider for Indie Authors who is preparing to head off to college. What many of you don't know, is that every cent I make with The Indie Shop goes towards college. With that being said, I had this crazy idea and I'm hoping all of you will find it just as wonderful as it is crazy! Throughout the month of May, I will be holding a Feature Freak-out, which is where I will feature as many Indie Authors as possible. In order to be featured, I ask that you make a donation to The Indie Shop, thus helping my college fund grow a little bit with each spotlight!! I'm not telling you an amount, or a minimum- every dollar counts! So, Here is how it will work:

1) Each author who wants to be spotlighted will e-mail me at tamara_beard@yahoo.com with subject line: 'Feature Freak-out'
2)When they get a response approving their request, they will send their donation via paypal to the same e-mail.
3) Their spotlight will be posted on the next available date
4) A link to the spotlight will be e-mailed to them.

Thank you so much for your interest and support, and I hope to hear from many of you soon!!
~Tamara

Award-Winning Saga Has It All: Riveting Action And A Free 3D Comic App With Music By Celldweller

 

The Bane of Yoto, by Joshua Viola, is a trans-media experience that offers many ways to explore its rich storyline. From paperback or eBook to a free 3D interactive comic mobile app, this attention-grabbing novel was recently released by independent record label and music publisher FiXT – and promises to transport readers to a sinister world of cosmic drama and action they will never forget!

 

Formerly a professor of Game Art and Design, and now Art Director for Leviathan Games, Viola’s astounding vision is unmistakable in this perfect blend of science fiction and fantasy that comes together in a breakneck paced, action-packed plot where creatively original characters battle for their very existence in a brutal world.

 

Drawing rave reviews for its originality and vision, The Bane of Yoto has won awards from both the 2012 New York Book Festival and the 2012 Hollywood Book Festival, and is the first installment in a trilogy of science-fantasy novels by Joshua Viola.  

 

…Some say the Arbitrators existed long before the world was born. Others believe their dark powers spun the fabric of time itself. They are mystery. But this is truth. After ages of formless existence, the Arbitrators craved physicality once more and in their search for a worthy body to inhabit, they destroyed Ajyin – home to the gentle, blue-fleshed Numah and the combative, carapaced Olokun. But not all was lost. General Vega and his vile warriors enslaved the remaining Numah and they relocated to Ajyin’s thriving moon, Neos.

Under the general’s imperious rule, the Numah toiled to extract minerals for a defensive barrier called the Aegis Shield that the general vowed would protect Neos from the Arbitrator’s return. But the Arbitrators’ hunger sparked a great fire – a blaze of revenge and revolution that soon found its home in the heart of a weak and cowardly Numah named Yoto, transforming him into a powerful and dangerous being beyond the general’s control. Will Yoto use his new-found power to free his people – or will he annihilate them? Once again, the Arbitrators’ dark presence haunts the world of Numah and Olokun.

 

Always looking to break new ground, FiXT (owned by cyber-rocker Klayton of Celldweller), recently entered the book publishing business with The Bane of Yoto. Staying with the book’s theme, Viola has merchandise available ranging from PlayStation 3 Dynamic Themes, Sculptures and T-shirts, to posters and more, that are available through FiXT.

The Dead War Series: Book 1

The US Army doesn't run from any enemy, living......or dead!

In the year 2053 the dead walked. Mankind was caught off guard at first but within six years mounted a massive military assault on the dead.

These are the stories of some of those men and women that fought back. These are the stories of some trying to find a “cure”. These are the stories of those that are just trying to survive the nightmare of the walking dead. These are the stories of those that caused The Dead War.

The Omega Files:The Military-Industrial/Nazi/Alien Connection And The Infiltration of America by the Fourth Reich

Authored by Mr. Robert K. Teske Jr.

 

THE OMEGA FILES 
 
If, as the late J. Allen Hynek claimed, over 1 in 40 people have been abducted and 'processed' by the 'alien/secret government' agenda -- or 1 in 10 according to more recent sources -- then you are bound to know SOMEONE who is an abductee and KNOWS it. This information is for THEM.  
 
For those who are not "UFO Abductees", the information in this file is nevertheless vital and applicable, and may one day save your life!!! If you believe that information about "Aliens" is only for those who have lost all touch with reality, then PLEASE accept that information in this document that you CAN accept, and pass over the rest, at least for now. Your future may depend on it. As I have said, this information may save your life.  
 
This file contains the most intricate and intimate details of a global conspiracy which seems to be rooted in an alien - military - industrial collaboration which is intent on bringing all freedom-loving peoples of this world under its control, through the implementation of a global government which has commonly been referred to as the 'New World Order'.  
 
We have pulled no punches and are laying everything out on the table in regards to the New World Order agenda as I and those who have contributed to this document perceive it. If you are one who is easily offended, then be warned. Most of you who read this will realize that you may have personally supported in one form or another -- albeit unknowingly -- certain religious, economic, or political organizations which are on various levels being controlled by those forces that are working towards the implementation of the New World Order.  
 
Those who have contributed to this file have not compromised nor held back on what they perceive to be the truth in regards to this conspiracy. We make no apologies, since we feel that this agenda has already been responsible for damaging this American Republic in ways that most cannot even begin to comprehend, and will continue to be a threat to its very existence and prosperity until this 'enemy' is forever purged from our nation and those traitors responsible for violating our national security and 'selling out' this Constitutional Republic of the United States of America are brought to justice.  
 
Consider this a declaration of WAR against those eco-political forces and their draconian backers who would destroy our prosperity and freedom for their own fleeting material gain. So with no further introduction, we repeat the words of Louisiana District Attorney and JFK assassination investigator James Garrison, who boldly stated before leaving this world...  
 
"LET THE TRUTH BE TOLD, THOUGH THE HEAVENS FALL!"

The Dulce Protocol

Authored by Mr. Robert Teske

 

This is the "Grandfather" of all conspiracy theories in regards to Ufology, ET, and everything "Alien". The famed "Roswell Crash of 1947" is just the "tip of the iceberg". 
 
The Prophesies of Revelation, Daniel, and Ezekiel are playing out before our eyes today, before the eyes of THIS generation TODAY!  
 
In view of the current environmental, social, political, and economical atmosphere that permeates every culture of this world, you must be able to see the BIGGER picture; the entire spectrum, if you will, not just one color.  
 
And that spectrum goes far beyond what anyone could have ever perceived possible. It goes beyond science fiction. Hollywood couldn’t even have conceived the reality of Hell ON, BENEATH, or ABOVE Earth. But rest assured, they will damned sure try to convince you otherwise.  
 
With that said, don’t even try to imagine what is between the covers of this manuscript. You have to read it for yourself. There will be many who will discard any and all notion that any of this could remotely be true.  
 
Are the words between these cover true? I don’t know. I pray to God that they’re NOT. But I will tell you this much, I have definitely gone through an Attitude Adjustment, and I have seriously begun to question my concepts of reality.  
 
We are living in very dangerous and very treacherous times. So read on and see if any of this makes as much sense to you as it does to me. Open your hearts, open your minds, and question EVERYTHING! – Bob Teske – April, 2012
