Coronavirus Reflections: Bitter or Better? by Larada Horner-miller

We all lived through it! But did you process the experience of the coronavirus pandemic?

I didn’t just let the coronavirus pandemic of 2020-21 happen to me. I wrote a book about my reflections on my experience and chose to become better because of my experience. The book, Coronavirus Reflections: Bitter or Better? can be used like a journal. Each independent chapter begins with a compelling photo and quote and then my experience in prose and/or poetry. The chapter ends with personal reflections question(s). My charge to the reader is read, reflect and respond.

Pleasure School by E.R. River

A v-card that needed to go away.
Raised by an over-protective single mother, Cordelia Swan has been deprived of the essential teenage years when she should have explored her sexuality. Now her inexperience causes her to have terrible luck in the men’s department. Knowing this is an issue Cordelia would like to fix, her best friend sends her an email with the details regarding a pleasure school.
The loneliness drives Cordelia to make a desperate decision. She applies for the 20-day class, promising to teach her the art of seduction. What she doesn’t expect to find during the program is intense sexual training, and not one, but two men willing to give her what she searches for.
Will Cordelia have the courage to break society’s rules and follow her heart into taking the two men as her permanent lovers?

“Few people encapsulate paranormal ideas and theories in a way that makes them relatable, and fewer still do it from such a profound position of experience and vision. My good friend and frequent Beyond Reality guest John Russell is a master of both.” — JV Johnson, Host: Beyond Reality/Paranormal IRL with JV Johnson

About The Cleaner, the Cat and the Space Station by Fay Abernethy

What if a hidden alien space station orbited the Earth, secretly protecting us from invasion?
A heart-warming, multi-protagonist adventure featuring a diverse cast and some shape-shifting space demons.

FREE between February 9-13, 2023

Since leaving Ethiopia, Hanna has survived in London by working illegally as a cleaner. When tragedy strikes, help arrives in a surprising form and Hanna is welcomed into an unusual new family: a school for human recruits to the Shantivira, the secret alien space station which protects the Earth from extra-terrestrial invasion. But Hanna discovers a spy in their midst, reporting to an organisation unconvinced by the Shantivira’s friendly image…

Lucy is horse-riding on Dartmoor when a mysterious being appears out of the mist and offers her the chance to train as a pilot on the Shantivira. Unnerved, Lucy’s instinct is to refuse. But then she is approached by an organisation claiming the Shantivira’s motives are more sinister, and they persuade her to become their spy…

Joe is bored. Being the captain of the Shantivira isn’t the challenge he’d hoped it’d be. And although he believes his fellow humans should be informed about the existence of aliens, he can’t see how to do this without causing global mayhem. Then a stray asteroid hits the ISS and takes the decision out of his hands…

Author Bio:
Mark began writing on an old algae-encrusted backyard hammock. He was already in his mid-forties and the thought of becoming an author had never crossed his mind before that moment. Many believe the thought has still never occurred to him. His zany imagination and utter laziness prodded him toward fiction, where although he has five published books, his apparent lack of talent enables him to enjoy absolute obscurity to this day.

Mark’s second passion is music. He attended Florida State university sometime during the late 1800’s, receiving a Master Degree in Trumpet Performance. He performed professionally for five years before entering the business world. Nowadays, Mark finds listening to music while writing the nexus of focus and inspiration.
