They just keep running head-on into trouble with the paranormal. The team heads to Salem in search of The Enchantress and the remaining family of those she cursed centuries ago. As I read the book, I kept thinking this would make a great cartoon, like Scooby-Doo. The characters are developed well, all likable, and the story is very fast-paced. I really enjoyed this story. It made me smile more than once while I was reading it." ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "Very original and exciting!! Witches and Wiccans and Enchantresses, OH MY!! Full of magical mystery. Love a good story full of legends, myths and the overall unknown." ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "Team Legend promises to keep us hooked with strong, independent, young characters who have an affinity for trouble." ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "I enjoyed The Enchantress! Amid our plethora of 'dark and spooky' television shows it was fun to think of teens behind one and brought into the forefront by their adventures." ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "Well, this is a great new book. I love the characters, it's a great storyline, and you get caught up in the story really fast." ―Amazon reviewer
  • Zombie Patrol

    J.R. Rain, Elizabeth Basque

    eBook (Rain Press, Jan. 10, 2013)
    A METEOR...A MILITARY COVER-UP...AND A WHOLE LOT OF ZOMBIES!First in the in the completed "Walking Plague" trilogy!Los Angeles County park ranger, Jack Carter, is about to discover that not all is as it seems in his tranquil life. Once responsible for patrolling the many public parks, in particular the popular Griffith Park with its famous observatory and zoo, Jack is about to discover that a whole new kind of animal roams his woods.The undead kind.It begins when his brother, on leave from the military, arrives sick. Deathly sick. Jack's concern turns to alarm when his own flesh and blood turns on him, forcing the park ranger to take drastic measures.Now searching for answers and help for his brother, Jack finds himself on the run from a lethal group of government agents―and from something monstrous that stalks his woods. Something not of this world...and hungry for flesh.★★★★★ "Wow! I loved every second of this book and cannot wait for more! I pre-ordered Zombie Patrol a day or two ago and couldn't stop reading it today. J.R. Rain is one of my favorite authors and I quickly snatch up anything he puts out. I know that when I'm getting one of his books that it's going to be a fun and exciting story.I'd like to let everyone know that this story is a bit darker than Rain's usual stories. His characters are every bit as real. They're heroic yet flawed, caring yet make mistakes. The plot flows almost effortlessly and it's easy to get caught up in Jake's life while he tries to figure out how to help his family and keep his daughter safe. I really cared about the characters and found myself at the edge of my seat with worry in more than one spot in the story. I can honestly say I haven't been this excited about a new series in a long time. I truly cannot wait for the next one. I need to know what's going to happen next!!!" ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "Another great Rain series For someone who is not a Zombie fan, but an avid J.R. Rain fan, I decided to give this new series a try. Of course, I was not let down. This book is not like Rain's other series (Vampire for Hire, Knighthorse, etc); it is told from different characters' perspectives. It is like you are in the story, watching it unfold, feeling the emotions of each character as they are going through the same experience. Rain and Basque brilliantly put this collaborative book together, crafting a fun, kinda freaky, quick read and a great start to a new series that I look forward to following. Definitely worth checking out!" ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "This was a very different take on the zombie plague. I loved the idea and the background of the characters. I can't wait to see what happens in book two! I have read several zombie stories and really enjoyed this one! Good work JR and Elizabeth! Moving on to book two now!" ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "I loved this book! Don't just read the first one, read all three! It is a wonderful concept of the virus coming from outer space. It starts out that just two are infected and goes from there. If you like "THE WALKING DEAD," you will love this trilogy!" ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "I read this great horror novel in one sitting. It was too scary to put down and I just had to keep turning the pages! When you finish this first book of the trilogy you will be looking for more." ―Amazon reviewer

It's non-stop action almost from page one with a heroine whose snarky sense of humor at her situation kept me on the edge of laughter." ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "Delightful, totally delightful is all I can say about J.R.

  • The Grail Quest

    J.R. Rain

    eBook (Rain Press, April 21, 2011)
    KING ARTHUR, MERLIN, SIR LANCELOT...AN AGE-OLD TALE STILL HAS A FEW SURPRISES.From the mind of #1 bestselling author, J.R. Rain, comes an inspiring tale of adventure, legends, dragons... and one very famous king.Plagued by months of persistent dreams of King Arthur, Merlin, and the Holy Grail, mystery novelist James Dupree finally sets out to England to understand the meaning behind his nightly visions.Upon arriving in Glastonbury, a locale deeply connected to stories of Camelot, Avalon and the Knights of the Round Table, James quickly discovers that not all is as it seems in this quaint little town. There's a raven-haired girl dying of a rare lung disease, knights with swords, and perhaps strangest of all is the man who emerges from the forest...a man who just might be the greatest king Britain has ever seen.At once inspiring and pulse-pounding, The Grail Quest is for fans of James Redfield's The Celestine Prophecy, Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist, and Dan Millman's The Way of the Peaceful Warrior. The Grail Quest is a standalone spiritual adventure, with nearly 25,000 copies sold worldwide!"Not only is The Grail Quest a wonderful Arthurian tale and page-turning adventure, but the spiritual lessons interwoven in the storyline gave me pause to consider a new perspective on many things. Let me put it this way, I'll be 'redipping' frequently into several passages—especially the one involving James and the dragon. Powerful stuff. Imagery and prose I'll never forget! And that's on top of the impish sense of humor Rain brings to his writing."—Aiden James, bestselling author of Immortal Plague"I finished The Grail Quest in record time! I found it both wonderfully suspenseful and rich with theological reflection. Your fresh treatment of the familiar opening scene pulled me right in. And how well you evoke Glastonbury! There is wonderful suspense here too. I'll be very interested to see where you go with the once and future king."—Robert Siegel, award-winning author of Whalesong★★★★★ "It is always refreshing to read a book that is both well edited and a great story. The Grail Quest is just such a book. In fiction writing, it is often the goal of the writer to produce a suspension of disbelief in the reader. So what happens when it is the writer protagonist that is put in a situation where he must do what he usually must engender in others? In order to succeed along these lines, the author crafting a tale about a fictional author must dig deep and proceed slowly. J. R. Rain has done a tremendously good job of doing both. There is just enough foreshadowing, not just the title of the piece, to let you know that here is another bit of Arthurian mythology about to be told. As needs be, any Grail quest must have a sub-text in morality. In The Grail Quest, we are presented with a view of God and morality that is all about choice. Nothing is written in stone, if you will forgive the Arthurian pun. To say that I enjoyed reading The Grail Quest would be an understatement. This was one of my early Kindle purchases, and my only regret is waiting this long to read it!" ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "Another great book! I don't think J.R. Rain is going to be one of those writers that gets stuck in a rut with the same formula written a 100 different ways. Every book/series has had the sense of totally new concept. This one is certainly a very fine example of it. Who would think that the tale of King Arthur could have such a new twist to it? I don't think we will ever get tired of reading his books. Never boring, always a little humor, likable characters, and a touch of truth equals the perfect formula for my kind of book." ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ This is one of the most amazing books I have ever read. It has it all!" ―Amazon reviewer
