Race With Danger Run for Your Life Trilogy Book 1 by Pamela Beason Genre: YA Suspense, Action, Adventure

Champion runner Tanzania Grey, 17, has to win the Verde Island Endurance Race’s million-dollar prize to save the life of her friend Bailey. The treacherous five-day race traverses a remote volcanic island that’s home to beasts that slither, fly, swim, and slink through the jungle. But the wildlife turns out to be the least of Tana’s problems when she draws the name of Sebastian Callendro as her partner. Sebastian’s personal life has put him in the national spotlight, and his nosy followers are the kind Tana can’t afford. Her name isn’t really Tanzania, and everything else in her biography is invented, too. She’s been running for three years─from the men who murdered her parents. If her cover is blown, she could be next. **Only .99 cents!!**Add to GoodreadsAmazon * Apple * B&N * Kobo

Race to Truth Run For Your Life Trilogy Book 2

Champion endurance racer Tanzania Grey, now 18, is haunted by disturbing email messages from the mysterious P.A. Patterson, who seems to suspect her real identity as Amelia Robinson. Four years earlier, she was the only one to escape when the Robinson family was professionally “eradicated” in Bellingham, Washington. When Tana receives an invitation to compete in an extreme version of the Ski to Sea relay in her home town, she decides to use the race as a cover to gather information about who killed her mother and father, and what became of her then-nine-year-old brother. Tana soon discovers clues that hint of something terribly wrong in the company her mother helped to create, Quarrel Tayson Laboratories. Worse, her sleuthing attracts the attention of a very frightening man in Bellingham, who knew both her parents. It now seems more a matter of “when” than “if” she will be the next to be killed. Can she turn the tables and reveal who was behind the death of her parents before she becomes their next victim? Add to GoodreadsAmazon * Apple * B&N * Kobo

RACE FOR JUSTICE

The email message includes a link to a website. When I click and go there, I am bombarded
with advertising about wonderful accommodations for racers and media and fans—exotic game
lodges and luxury hotels. There’s even a video. I click the play button and watch a trio of lean
dark-skinned runners lope along an exotic course. Zebras graze in the distance. As the runners
pass a checkpoint, the camera zooms in on the smiles of enthusiastic fans clustered together
behind a barrier tape. Among them is a woman photographer with curly chestnut hair pulled up
into a ponytail. With her eye pressed to a camera, she turns with the crowd, tracking the racers.
The crowd then disperses, leaving the photographer, who lowers her camera and looks directly at
whoever is filming this vid. It feels like she’s staring into my eyes.
My heart stops. My whole body throbs with a sudden longing to throw myself into that
woman’s arms. I play the vid over and over again, stopping it every few frames to stare at her
straight nose, her curly brown hair. When she looks up, she’s smiling, just a little with her lips
closed, like my mother did when she had a secret.
Could it be? I found my brother last year, after four years of believing he was most likely
murdered along with my mom and dad.
I saw my parents’ bodies lying in a pool of blood on our living room floor. Could it be
possible that my mother didn’t die that night? Could she really be alive?
The woman turns away, following the crowd, and I’m not sure. Her hair is longer and
several shades lighter than my mother’s. She’s wearing a khaki uniform that implies she’s
working there.
Mom?
I know it’s too much to hope for. Maybe I no longer remember what Mom looked like. The
only picture I have is small and grainy, a photo of her with her colleagues at work.
Videos can be altered. If my enemies suspect I’m Amelia Robinson, then they know I have a
personal connection to Africa. This P.A. Patterson could be luring me to Zimbabwe, where I’ll
be eaten by a lion or ambushed by armed thugs, and die an easily explained death. This might be
a setup by the black-clad ninja invaders I escaped from four years ago.
I know this might be a trap designed especially for me.
But I also know that my next race will be in Zimbabwe.

Goodreads * Amazon

Tomas Dunskey Castle Book 3

Tomas was on top of the world. He had a hot girlfriend. She knew about time travel, so he didn’t have to keep secrets around her.

Ignoring phone calls from Kelsey, Jaelle thinks her first time travel adventure was a dream, but a new museum display shows a stick figure she remembers drawing with her fingernail file on the top stone of Hadrian’s Wall.

Time of the Druids Dunskey Castle Book 6

Deirdre’s first time travel assignment was challenging. Sure, she had her magic dagger, but he wasn’t cooperating. Talorac felt anxious about this meeting. A summons to the sacred grove had always meant the druids would perform their woad magic to prepare him for battle. So he was in no way prepared to make the acquaintance of the woman he found there with them. Deirdre was beautiful, and a warrior, and from the way she was flitting around the grove, she was the most powerful druid he had ever heard of in his life. Goodreads * Amazon

Leif Dunskey Castle Book 7

Baltair Dunskey Castle Book 12

Ellie was captured during her last time travel adventure. But her friend’s husband’s life hangs in the balance. And this ring she found is giving her courage. Probably too much courage for a modern woman in 1706 to have. Baltair is glad to see Ellie again. Her friend married his cousin and stayed, when Ellie went back to their time. But he keeps his distance. Many will die in the upcoming battle, maybe including him. Goodreads * Amazon

Time of the Fae Dunskey Castle Book 13

Kelsey stole it from John. ‘Tis na wrong for John tae steal it back from her.” Connell stuck his chest out and his chin up in a show of bravado. “Kelsey’s gotten full o’ herself, syne she went off tae Celtic University.

From Book 1, Tavish
“You know me,” she reminded him. “Which way would I find more interesting?”
He pointedly looked at her Celtic University ring.
“I’m not really sure I do know you well anymore, but the Kelsey I remember, the
adventurous one, she would have insisted on checking out the passage down to the
secret doors.”
“I’ll make you a deal,” she said to him.
Wow. He gave her a soft look that she never thought she’d see again. It made her
want to hug him…
“I’m listening,” he said.
Right. They were just talking. What was she saying, again? Oh yeah. The deal.
“I’ll be the Kelsey you remember, if you’ll be the Tavish I remember.”
Oops. What had made her say that?
The soft look left his eyes, replaced by wariness.
“You know what—” he started.
But she cut him off.
“Not for always, Tavish, just for this tour of the passageways, okay?”
He sighed heavily, and sadness filled his face while his posture relaxed as if he’d
been ready for a big something and then just given up.
“Okay, but Kelsey, when this tour is done, promise me you’ll go into Mr. Blair’s
trailer and stay in there until the sun comes up. Please, promise me.”
Taken aback by just how desperately worried for her he seemed, she agreed to his
terms without any negotiation.
“I promise.”
He visibly relaxed.
“Thanks, Kelsey.”
And then his eyes were looking far away, and he started to reach out to her, and
then let his hands drop.
She stomped her foot to get his attention, to make him look her in the eye. Okay,
and maybe she was trying to get him to laugh a little, too. She’d always found foot
stomping ridiculous.
“What’s wrong, Tavish?”
But it didn’t work. He looked away.
“I can’t tell you.”
