Many of you may not know, but I resigned from my position as Quake editor for Echelon Press. I think one of the hardest things to do was leaving my authors. They have been so spectacular and I’ve loved working on their books! I got to meet many of them in person and it’s only with great sadness that I leave them now. But, that doesn’t mean they’re forgotten! Today I want to showcase some of my most favorite books in the bunch:

Sue Wentz’s Servant to the Wolf:
In 106 A.D., a fifteen year old slave boy comes face to face with the hazards of arrogance bigotry and hatred: primarily his own.
Marcus has a great life. He’s well-fed, well-educated, good-looking and respected by everyone around him, not bad for a rich man’s personal servant living in the heart of the Roman Empire.
Blacksmith Lupus, “the Wolf,” will always carry the scars of his own experience with slavery. A foreign born “barbarian” and now a freedman, Lupus works his trade and lives a simple life, trying to put his past behind him.
When a twist of fate causes Marcus to tumble from his comfortable lifestyle into the ownership of Lupus, conflict erupts between the prideful slave and the humble smith. But there just might be more to Lupus than meets the eye. When danger threatens, maybe it’s not such a bad thing to be a Servant to the Wolf.
D. M. Anderson’s Shaken:
Natalie, a self-centered girl, is dragged away by her family at the worst possible time.

Sixteen year old Elizabeth’s day to day life is no picnic. In her world, there are two competing groups–the above ground peoples and the Hybrids who live underwater. Problem is, the Hybrids have taken almost everything from the above grounders; access to clean water, food, even money. Which means that above-grounders like Elizabeth have to do what they can to survive. And if that means stealing, well, c’est la vie.
But when Elizabeth robs an elderly Hybrid of his money, she finds that she’s bitten off more than she can chew. Before she knows it, she’s been imprisoned by the Hybrids, who want to use her for their own ends. Some have her best interests at heart. Some do not. And when she finds herself on trial for a crime she didn’t commit, she must hope that the friends she’s made down below can save her. Because if they can’t, she’ll die.
Claudia Whitsitt The Wrong Guy:

It’s 1969. Catholic girls are a species of their own.
When Katie Hayes arrives at Eastern Michigan University, where a serial killer has brutally raped and murdered seven young women, she arms herself with a rosary and her Nancy Drew books. Yes, she’s a bit naïve. But her transition to college life is picture perfect. In her roommate, she finds the sister she never had. And in her speech class, she meets the man of her dreams. Then the unthinkable happens—Katie becomes the victim of a brutal crime, and her life begins to unravel. A crazed kidnapper is back on campus, and Katie finds herself not only in the middle of the investigation, but considered a possible suspect. On the heels of inconsolable loss, Katie begins to understand she is the intended target. As she realizes her life and the lives of the ones she loves are at risk, her Nancy Drew persona takes over. She is hell bent on trapping the perpetrator and making sure the man behind bars isn’t The Wrong Guy.
