Author Bio:
JOHN OEHLER is a bestselling, multiple award-winning author of action-adventure, thriller, and suspense novels.

John has spent much of his life overseas, beginning in 1966 with two years as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Nepal. His time in the Himalayan kingdom immersed him in a culture of Hindu gods and Buddhist monks, gave him breathtaking opportunities to trek into the high mountains, reduced him to a scrawny 150 pounds, and ignited his passion for foreign lands.

Upon returning to the United States, John went to work for a major oil company, first in research, then in international exploration. The latter took him to about fifty countries and fueled his writing with quirky characters, exotic settings, and cultural contrasts. That travel also took him to some of the world's most remote and dangerous places.

John also has an abiding love of animals, strong interests in art, history, and science, and a hunger for challenging experiences. His novels reflect those interests and his background, as he interweaves high adventure with art, archeology, science, and history.

His other novels include EX LIBRIS (also a First Place winner), PAPYRUS (a Semi-Finalist in Amazon's first Breakthrough Novel competition), and APHRODESIA: Death by Passion,.

True Tales of TWA Flight Attendants: Memoirs and Memories from the Golden Age of Flying

About True Tales of TWA Flight Attendants: Memoirs and Memories from the Golden Age of Flying

If you liked Ann Hood’s Fly Girl and Julie Cook’s Come Fly The World: The Jet-Age Story of the Women of Pan Am, you’ll love True Tales of TWA Flight Attendants.

The golden age of air travel promised a life of glamour and adventure for beautiful, single, young women interested in exploring the world—and no airline offered more glamour or excitement than Trans World Airlines.

TWA provided an enviable jet-set lifestyle for flight attendants—and the opportunity to travel to exotic destinations like London, Paris, Rome, Hong Kong and Bombay. Flight attendants appeared on TV and in movies, and rubbed elbows with the rich and famous, from Elizabeth Taylor and John F. Kennedy Jr., to presidents and Popes, all while decked out in designer uniforms from clothing designers like Oleg Cassini and Ralph Lauren.

In the 1960s and 1970s, TWA accepted fewer than 1% of applicants to be flight attendants—making it tougher to get into than Harvard. Plus, a flying career offered the best education money could never buy.

TWA flight attendants could cook chateaubriand medium rare, deliver a baby at 35,000 feet, and survive a plane crash—all the while immaculately dressed from their never-a-strand-out-of-place hairstyles, all the way down to their mandatory high heeled shoes. But the glamorous lifestyle of a TWA flight attendant sometimes came at a cost.

True Tales of TWA Flight Attendants is a diary-style fly girl memoir with stories from hundreds of TWA flight attendants, and filled with a fascinating behind-the-scenes, never-before-seen look at the glamour, excitement, and struggles faced by young women as they traveled the world with TWA during this exciting time in airline history—from the golden age of air travel through the great stewardess rebellion and beyond.

ESCAPE WAS NEVER AN OPTION

Standing by the fireplace, Charly sees that look in her neurodivergent brother’s eyes. There are too many people. He’s going to run. He’s going to burst into the unforgiving snowstorm, sprint around the frozen lake, and hide in the forest like he did when they were young.

So much for reliving the good times.

Randall the Hunter goes to the window. Opens the curtains. The blizzard rages outside. He says no one is leaving. He says nothing will stop the hunt. Nothing will stop the excursion.

Tangled Spirits: A Novel

About Tangled Spirits: A Novel

An accidental spirit possession. A friendship unlike any other.

Kate Shanahan skillfully blends fictional and historical figures and events into a time-slip tale of magic, imperial intrigue, and a friendship that spans a thousand years.

“For anyone unfamiliar with court life in ancient 10th century Japan… this is the book to read.” – Historical Fiction Company

2019: Mina Cooper hopes her study-abroad program in Japan will solve her anxiety and friendship issues. After all, she’s doing what she loves, studying Japanese language and literature. But she’s still waking up at four am with a racing heart, so Mina decides to do something big, something very unlike her.

999: Desperately lonely after her mother and sister die in an epidemic, aspiring shaman Lady Masako attempts to summon them. But she’s inexperienced in such rituals, and pulls Mina’s spirit into her body instead.

After a struggle for control and a failed exorcism, the two spirits agree to cooperate long enough to get help from the Royal Astrologer, the only person powerful enough to send Mina home.

But his help comes at a cost. If Mina doesn’t pay it, she risks her spirit fusing with Masako’s. And if that happens, she’ll never get home.

Readers have this to say about Tangled Spirits:
“Mina’s journey in Tangled Spirits is the ultimate study-abroad experience, one that will excite and delight many a Japanophile reader. With the unique yet somehow intuitive idea of placing two characters in the same body, plus a dash of spirituality and time travel, it makes the most of its weird and wonderful premise to deliver a story that not only entertains but also has the potential to introduce Heian Japanese history to a new audience and touch readers with a story of friendship not quite like any they’ve read before.”

“The idea of two people, with totally different life experiences, inhabiting the same body and learning to ‘live’ together was fascinating, humorous at times and poignant at others.”

As if holding their hand in friendship, this enchanting poetic story gently encourages the reader to see the importance of letting their own emotions and needs be known and to experience the unexpected human joy of exchanging loneliness for love and acceptance.

Bitter Aries

About Bitter Aries

Hell is ready for a change. Too bad no one told its hero.
All demons have magic. Except me. And that’s just the beginning of my troubles.

An ancient demon, one of Hell’s most powerful magic users, has disappeared. Rumors have it that he’s in the Overworld, living among mortals and hiding while he plots to bring down demons and angels alike.

And I’m the lucky one who got tasked with the job of bringing him back to answer for his crimes.

But being Hell’s only demon without magic has made me somewhat of a leper, and it’s not like I have a squad of hitmen to help—an inconvenient fact for Hell’s rulers who see something useful in me.

Aries, the first of the Zodiac. Hell’s most feared outlaw. A despised magic-user. And it’s up to me to hunt him down.

Call me a superhero? Better to call me dead. After all, the mortal realm is the only place demons can be killed—exactly where my mission is taking me.

All I wanted was a steady job to afford my own place, preferably far away from the noise of chimera and annoying fae. I never asked to travel to the mortal realm to find an escapee who could flick his fingers and evaporate me faster than Hellfire.

I’ll have to ask Hell’s rulers what they saw in me… if I make it out alive.

Hell hath no fury like a demon without a snowball’s chance.
