Praise for Michael


"Move over Twilight! Here comes Aaron Patterson!" --Joshua Graham, bestselling author of Beyond Justice and Darkroom


"I was surprised by how much I really, really liked this book. I have not jumped on the whole "fallen angel" bandwagon, just as I didn't jump on all of the vampire stories that came out after Twilight. This is not your typical fallen angel story. It is one that has left me breathlessly waiting for the next one in the series. Hurry up please!!!" --Sandra Stiles

Description of Michael


Michael did the unthinkable to save Airel from death, but now he must live with the choices he has made--both good and evil. Tortured by his past and haunted by what he believes might be his future, Michael seeks redemption--but will the past prove to be too strong? How can he break free of it and be the man he longs to be for Airel? If only he had never...

Airel. Michael's one true love. He had forced her to drink in new life only to find that old wounds and deep scars do not heal overnight. Can she truly forgive Michael, can she truly love him? And can he accept that forgiveness? Or is it all for nothing, and has he gone too far already? As the darkness of past choices closes in on them, chases them, intercepts them, coming at them from everywhere at once, how can their love possibly survive?

Aaron Patterson is the author of the best-selling WJA series, as well as two Digital Shorts: 19 and The Craigslist Killer. He was home-schooled and grew up in the west. Aaron loved to read as a small child and would often be found behind a book, reading one to three a day on average.


Chris White has an award for reading 750 books in one school year — from the 3rd grade. So yes, he’s more of a nerd than Aaron. Chris loves history, Sherlock Holmes, and anything that’s not virtual, like old motorcycles and mechanical typewriters.

A couple of weeks ago, StoneHouse University hosted a webinar with an Amazon rep. Thom Kephart, an Amazon Community Outreach Project Manager, gave a presentation he usually does only for conferences and meetings. Throughout the presentation and at the end, he answered questions submitted by indie authors and publishers.

Thom Kephart

It was an awesome session packed with great info about publishing, promoting, and selling books on Amazon. He gave us an in-depth insider view on KDP, KDP Select, Author Central, Amazon Advantage, Createspace, Look Inside the Book, and tons of other tools and features for authors and publishers.

Some of the author and publisher questions he addressed included:

• How can I maximize free days?
• Can you explain the algorithms that push books to bestseller status?
• Will indie authors ever be able to do pre-sales?
• Will Amazon price match free books that are not in KDP Select?
• Can anything be done about reviewer trolls?
• Can authors filter their products so that titles by one pen name don't show up with another?
• How do I sell print books worldwide through Amazon?
• Can you explain the benefits of Amazon Advantage? Can I pre-sell books through Advantage if I use a POD such as Lightning Source?
• And many more great questions.....
