If you loved the book, please leave a review and spread the word. ;-)
Read the next book, read all of my other books (and Michael's), and join us in this quest to defeat the evil monster that tries to kill discoverability.
If this wasn't your thing? Well... I apologize. All I can say is, hey, both Michael's books and my other books have different feels, so don't give up on us, go read those and see what you think.
With all of this, and the other amazing authors like T.S. Paul and Craig Martelle writing in Michael's Kurtherian universe, you have options. You should have plenty to read, and plenty to fall in love with.
Looking to take a chance on my other books? YAY! You make me so happy. Here's a bit about some of the series I have and why you might enjoy them.
(Just click on the link to see more on Amazon)
FALLS OF REDEMPTION
I think you'll like this fantasy series because I start out very NOT fantasy. It's regular people and their problems, in a made up world loosely based on Ancient Greece and the Peloponnesian War. But there are hints of the 'magic' to come. No extra races or crazy magicians - this is fantasy for people who want something more grounded... until the shifter dragon stuff starts happening, haha.
THE CURSED NIGHT
This series, starting with Hounds of God, should be right up your alley. It's about a woman dealing with being a werewolf and trying to find a cure, while a half-vampire hunts her down as part of his quest to rid the world of werewolves. It gets more complicated as full vampires show up and an army of werewolves infiltrates the military, but yeah, you get the picture. Superhero werewolf and vampire stuff. Who doesn't love that?
ALLIE STROM: THE BRINGER OF LIGHT TRILOGY
Want something a bit lighter and for a YA audience? A lot of adults like to read YA (me included, which is why I write it. Actually, a lot of Harry Potter readers were adults). This one is basically the story of a girl who rises to save the world, using the magic from the ring of Solomon. It goes to Kyrgyzstan and the Throne of Solomon, Japan, and other cool places. Fun Urban Fantasy for a younger audience.
MODERN NECROMANCY
This series starts with Death Marked. (Sounds pretty dark, right?)
Yeah, it is in some ways, but like all my stories, it is really a superhero coming of age. It starts with a guy who wants to talk with his deceased fiancé one more time, maybe even bring her back, but quickly 180s into a story of him trying to stop a mad-man from raising an army of the dead.
Oh yeah, and the hero has to partner up with a badass female ghost. This is another one of those books for aspiring travelers, as it goes to Uzbekistan, Russia, Peru, and more (throughout the trilogy - not all at once). If you want to see a man and woman team up to defeat evil forces, this is the series. Wait, that's all of my series! But this one fits in there well with the rest, in a very unique way.
And then there are all of my books for children, including some unofficial Minecraft ones. I don't want to go on and on, so I'll leave it at that and say that I hope you check out the books! Cross-discoverability is the life-blood of an author. At least, this author. You can find them on my Amazon page.
Thank you for reading, and stay tuned for book 4!

Author Notes - Michael Anderle
Written February 14th, 2016
Right now, as I type this, it is 12:05 PM on Valentines day and this book is about to be released in just a few, short, hours.
“OMG - HOW DID HE GET AWAY WITH THIS?”
(What? You mean how did I get away with working on Valentines Day? I treated my wife to a LOOONG night out Sunday night, she flew home, now she is comotose in bed… I’m good until she wakes back up and by that time, I’ll have hit ‘published’ on this book. See, crises averted!)
For those who have read my Author’s Notes in the back of It’s Hell To Choose (The Kurtherian Gambit #09), you might remember me telling a story how I was ‘weeping’ at the death of a character…I’m talking TEARS streaming down my face as I wrote a scene.
Was the Author’s Wife, when hearing of The Author’s manly display of emotions after he published the book, supportive?
Not even close.
She laughed her ass off. Moreover, she remembered a Snoopy scene (supposedly) where Snoopy is sitting on top of his doghouse, typing a book and crying his eyes out…
She would walk around our bedroom, mime typing in the air and throw her head back, crying “WAAAHH wah wah wah!”
Then, she would kill herself laughing again.
The Author’s feelings were obviously not high on her priority list.
I say this because I am typing this Author’s note and looking at a big white coffee mug, with Snoopy on the side, two red hearts and a Snoopy Plush doll sitting inside of it.
Perhaps this is her apology for that reaction half a year ago?
Yeah, I’m not getting my hopes up, either. It is, however, part of the history of our relationship and the part that I love about her. She is fun, exciting and occasionally ignorant of the travails of a writer.
Oh well, such is life.
A lot has happened since the last book in the Reclaiming Honor series. We (The Kurtherian Gambit Series of Books) are playfully kicking each other out of spots in various category charts.
Poor Craig Martelle (The Terry Henry Walton Chronicles - now to be known as “Awesome Craig”) keeps putting his books out at the wrong time. and so his series gets book blocked from being a Bestseller by either my book, or Justin’s book. When he could have taken over the Vampire subcategory last month, he couldn’t JOIN the category because he didn’t have a vampire in his story, and someone else had a really strong Werewolf story when Justin dropped out of #1.
Now, his latest (Nomad Unleashed) dropped just three days after a new Bethany Anne story (Never Submit) and let’s face it, trying to compete with the character that started all of this is never a good idea.
So, he has stayed in 2nd place behind my book. Now, Justin’s book will probably kick my book out of first place. I’ll go to #2, and Craig will go to #3.
Interestingly enough, I’ll actually be in all three ;-)
Fortunately, CM Raymond’s and Lee Barbant’s story will be in another category, so we don’t have to fight with them. However, Holly Freaking Dodd is going to be in PNR, so theoretically we might have to compete with her, and ROMANCE readers are damned voracious!
We might all have to bow at the sales altar of Romance and the boys will all have to pick up our toys and play in Space Marines or something!
That assumes that Natalie Grey doesn’t kick us out…DAMN!
The next Valerie story is titled “Angel of Reckoning” - Valerie will be coming back at you in April, 2017.
If you want to see more about the other series, the links are below…as well as a picture of my Valentine’s Day gift!

The Kurtherian Gambit - Starting with Death Becomes Her
This is the “master” series, the one that started it all.
What you thought you knew about Vampires and Weres is Wrong … So very, very wrong.
The Boris Chronicles - Starting with Evacuation
The first of the series connected with The Kurtherian Gambit. Boris is a mercenary with a deep past, and a burning desire to protect those in the deepest of Mother Russia.
The Terry Henry Walton Chronicles - Starting with Nomad Found
They say behind every great man is a great woman, but what if that woman is a Werewolf?
Etheric Academy - Starting with Alpha Class
Our YA series readers can enjoy, and share with the younger crowd without worrying about the language nearly as much! Following some of our younger (teen) students as they learn more about what it will take to support the Etheric Empire.
Keep on the lookout, more series coming soon ;-)
