Sentinel: Archive of Fire
by Betsy Dornbusch
Whiskey Creek Press January 2012
ISBN: 978-1-61160-218-0
E-book $6.99
print versions available at Whiskey Creek

"Twins Aidan and Kaelin didn’t realize until they got to university that most guys don’t learn five ways to kill a man by the age of fourteen. Still, since their estranged father descends from the demon Asmodai, it's probably worth knowing how to defend themselves. But as years pass and threat never materializes, the twins suppose their mom is just paranoid - until she disappears. Their father tells them Asmodai has taken possession of their mother in order to infiltrate Sentinel, a treacherous coalition of demidemon rebels determined to protect humankind from the demon legions. The twins form a grudging alliance with Sentinel to rescue her, but when Asmodai murders their father to incite war, Sentinel starts to implode and Aidan and Kaelin must battle an enemy who wears their mother’s face."

Betsy's blog is Sex Scenes at Starbucks.

Pat - Such different and interesting offerings this month! Thanks for sharing these. Some of these look really interesting!

Alex J. Cavanaugh said...

First one sounds good! Checking iPad now...

Patricia Stoltey said...

Margot, that's one of the wonderful things about RMFW -- members represent all genres, and some have traditional publishers while others self-publish (after a good editing, of course).

Yay, Alex. That's what we like to hear.

Julie Golden said...

Thanks Pat. We've been eager to see several of these appear on the newly-published page. RMFW members ROCK. Congrats to all.

Kathryn Elliott said...

Looks good. Very eclectic bunch!

Hi Julie, I have a feeling we'd have a longer list each month if we didn't have so many shy RMFW members. This is a great promotion opportunity, so members need to keep me posted.

Kathryn, this organization and the whole Colorado writing community are responsible for getting me to branch out and read genres outside my mystery/suspense/thriller habit. So many books, so little time.

Karen Duvall said...

wow, what a great line up of new releases! Congrats to Sue, Mary, Betsy and Carol! :)

Karen, there's only one way to tell it. RMFW members rock!!
