Brighde Reborn Wins NYC Big Book Award for 2024

We are excited to announce that our authors Leslie & Janice Sommers have won the NYC Big Book Award for 2024 in the Teen Catagory for Bridhde Reborn, Book 1 in the Amulet Series.

Bridget’s Senior Year Checklist includes:

  1. Hook the new guy, Trip
  2. Hang with newly discovered cousin, Cay aka the most popular boy at OCHS
  3. Find missing weather controlling Amulet
  4. Pass SATs
  5. Save the world

In her quiet Jersey Shore town, high school senior Bridget MacNamara just wants to get a date with the strikingly attractive new kid, Trip, but fate and her lineage have other ideas. Things get weird when the most popular guy in school, Cailean “”Cay”” McKay, won’t leave her alone. Turns out they’re distant cousins and what’s more—they’re the descendants of twin Scottish goddesses, Brighde and Beira.

The sisters originally shared an amulet that controlled the weather, and its sudden disappearance has sparked betrayal and vengeance, dividing the once-close family into two rival factions for the last few centuries. Bridget finds herself thrown into a modern version of Scottish mythology when she learns she’s directly descended from Brighde, and Trip can be traced straight to Beira.

After a century of family warfare, Trip and Bridget are now a star-crossed couple, forced to fight both their families and each other in a race to find the missing amulet.

Wasn’t senior year supposed to be a breeze?

Welcome to Mansfield Wins FAPA President’s Book Award!

We are excited to announce A.R. Farina has won the Bronze President’s Book Award from FAPA for Welcome to Mansfield – Book 1 in The Austen Chronicles.

4 Horsemen is so excited to bring you this Jane Austen retelling. 

Sometimes you have to leave home to find where you really belong.

Junior Price wanted desperately to get out of her small town and the demands of her big family. Upon winning a scholarship to an elite private college thousands of miles away, she packed her bags and went to find her place in the world. She soon discovers that she may not be ready to be out on her own.

Mansfield College is full of the rich and the wealthy who play by a whole different set of rules than Junior understands. She tries her best to fit in and follow her heart only to discover that her small-town southern charm doesn’t work on everyone.

Will she become someone she doesn’t recognize to try to make everyone happy or will she find herself as she becomes the young woman she wants to be? This book is a modern-day, coming-of-age retelling of the classic Jane Austen story filled with heartache and friendship.

Secrets & Spires is an NIEA Finalist!

Secrets & Spires is a National Indie Excellence Award Finalist! 4 Horsemen is so excited to have Dominic N. Ashen receive this acknowledgement for Secrets & Spires – Book 3 in the Steel & Thunder series. This is such an amazing adventure with Khazak and David! If you have not started you need to dive in and catch up with all of these amazing books.

Can they make it to the top before it all comes crashing down?

Khazak has been feeling a little lost lately. By the age of thirty, he’d become the youngest Ranger Captain in his city’s history. He thought he had the rest of his life figured out until he was betrayed by people he trusted and forced to resign. The one bright spot is David, his human lover and former captive (though “former” doesn’t always apply in the bedroom). After coming so close to losing him, Khazak didn’t think twice about leaving everything behind to follow after him. Things are still new, but they have all the time in the world for David to grow comfortable with their relationship.

David’s having a rough time himself. After miraculously surviving a deadly attack, he’s left looking for answers and seeking revenge on those responsible. His search brings him to the city of Pákannon, and he’s not alone: not only is his entire team behind him—he also has Khazak, the orc who loves him and once owned him (and technically, still does). Just as he’s getting used to the idea of people knowing they’re together, someone from his past shows up and threatens all of his progress. Lucky for him, a side-quest to a mysterious city in the mountains should be exactly the distraction he needs. It’s not like anything bad or dangerous could happen, right?

This is a book filled with action, comedy, tent sex, giant snakes, and ghost stories! Read the next chapter of Khazak & David’s story and join them as they explore more of the magical world they inhabit. Readers of gay/male-on-male romances that feature kinky power-exchange relationships, BDSM, and Dom/sub elements: this book is for you!
