About Jill Shultz
Born in Brooklyn, New York before it was cool, Jill Shultz now lives upstate and will always be equal parts city and country: defining moments in her life occurred in the cafeteria of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and a cave in New Hampshire. She has a B.S. in Biology from Cornell University and M.S.T. in Environmental Sciences from Antioch University. For most of her career, she zigzagged between environmental and arts organizations. It seemed she'd bag every independent Audubon Society in New England, but she missed by half. She's been a land steward, zookeeper, the program director of Maine Writers & Publishers Alliance, and always a writer. Plunk her in a chair with a great book or next to a pond with herons or and she can be engrossed for hours.

Angel on the Ropes
May 2, 2013
$3.99
A dazzling trapeze artist lives a perilous double life. Will her secret--and her choices--save her planet or ruin it?
Amandine Sand lives to fly. Unfortunately, she's hobbled by a life-threatening secret: she's one of the spotted humans wrongly accused of being a plague carrier. These "leopards" are hunted by zealots to protect their offworld colony from the scourge. Despite this threat, Amandine spends her days guiding other leopards to an underground shelter run by the pacifist Seekers. At night, with her own spots hidden, she soars on the trapeze, the one place she feels free and gloriously alive.
When the persecution of leopards explodes into widespread violence, the Seekers demand more of her time. But her circus is teetering toward bankruptcy and desperately needs her, too. She has no time to breathe... and then she meets a stranger who leaves her breathless--and might be the biggest risk of all. If her trust is misplaced and she's unmasked, everyone she loves and everything she's fought for could crash.

We Happy Few
Mar 10, 2013
$0.99
The Pied Piper is legendary for his supernatural ability to catch rats. Of course--he's a vampire; rats, bats, wolves, and humans all fall prey to his command.
It's a lucrative living until he loses his temper over a payment dispute and takes revenge on the folk of Hamelin by kidnapping their children and turning them into vampires. This backfires, escalating into a territorial battle with Count Dracula, who forces the Piper to flee Europe with a few of his vampire children.
Seven hundred years later in Manhattan, Jack follows in his father's footsteps. It's a good living: the number of rats in New York City is no joke. But when the Piper's girlfriend, an animal rights activist, threatens Jack's business in a scheme to get the Piper out of pest control, the Piper and Jack fight for control. And Jack must decide what he'll sacrifice for love.
