About How to Fool Fish With Simple Flies by Paul Gaskell

The Kindle Edition of this book will be available at up to 91% discount from July 2nd 2018 to July 6th 2018 via an Amazon Countdown Deal…

Warning – This book contains the following “Fly Fishing Blasphemy”:

Close copy fly-tying is a crude “shotgun” approach to catching fish…You throw as many features as you can imagine onto a hook and just hope that something in that mix convinces a fish to take a bite!

The problem is, humans and fish judge flies differently.

Instead of guessing, what if you knew the handful of factors that actually matter to fish?

What if you could “match the hatch” in the eyes of a fish by changing your presentation method – as much as by what fly pattern you use?

This book gives you the secrets of turning ultra-simple flies into successful fish-catchers. Such skills would be well known to subsistence anglers of the past – including the original Tenkara anglers of the Japanese mountains and professional river wet-fly fishers in the West. They are also used and refined by today’s cutting-edge competition anglers.

So, if you want to learn how to trigger the fish in your own trout streams AND how to successfully adapt to changing conditions; you’ll find proven answers inside…

“I read the entire book on the day I received it, in one sitting. I couldn’t put it down! This book is less like a monograph and more like a doctoral dissertation, it’s that comprehensive”

Tom Davis, Teton Tenkara

About Cutlass!: A Sci-Fi Space Pirate Romance

Their names are feared across the cosmos

Ryssa Starlight once loved Johnny Brash, the most infamous space pirate captain in the universe, until he went soft and sold out. Not content to trade on his notorious reputation in the pursuit of wealth, Ryssa struck out on her own to give her ex-lover a run for his money when it came to being the most wanted pirate to terrorize space. Now she has her own ship, the Cutlass, a loyal crew, and has made a name for herself by conducting daring and profitable raids against the two intergalactic empires out to conquer independent space.

Ryssa gets the chance of a lifetime when a star map leading to the ultimate prize comes into her possession. With a ship from an ancient, advanced civilization up for grabs, whoever reaches it first and claims the Lost Technology will control the fate of the galaxies. But taking on the mission means teaming up with Brash. Unable to trust his intentions or her own unresolved emotions that still burn as hot as rocket fuel, Ryssa and Brash blast off to the furthest reaches of the unknown.

Brash never forgot Ryssa or the passionate love they once shared. He’s as determined to claim Captain Starlight for his own as he is to capture the ship. But before he can convince her that she belongs with him, they’ll have to battle dangerous aliens, cunning traitors, and the evil Space Vampires looking to jump their claim in this sexy, steamy, and romantic science fiction adventure.

About Sessions

Would you sacrifice your soul to see into the mind of a serial killer for seven days?
Justice will be served, but never before like this.

Sessions, a mind-bending psychological noir, delves into the minds of two women as they go head-to-head in seven therapy sessions, taking the terms “treatment” and “killer” and flipping them on their heads.
Is there a real life family connection to the killer’s evil?

And if she has never been caught, is there someone infamous in her life who has?
The “Entity” marks its territory through the pastoral environs of Vermont; Mount Mansfield, a Burlington art gallery, a sugar maple farm and inside the psychiatrist’s office, housed within a majestic Victorian mansion eerily familiar to more than one soul.
This is not a police procedural, my friends…

~~~

Are you game to be a fly on this therapy wall?
Well, have a seat in the waiting room, won’t you?
Your Sessions are about to begin…

“Walking Shadows: Stories of Tragedy, Love & Triumph is just one example of a form of contemporary fiction that winds Nigerian social reflection and issues into a literary work designed to appeal beyond Nigeria’s borders. Chijioke Dikeocha outlines universal experiences of love, struggle, change, and survival; and these are themes any reader can readily understand.” — D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer,
Midwest Book Review

“Each story exposes the complexities and unpredictability of human life and relationships, and deals with relevant topics like love, prostitution, divorce and separation, child abuse, corruption, social injustice, and many more which will keep readers glued to the book. All the stories are crisp, sharp, and the authenticity of the characters makes this a captivating collection. Dikeocha’s honest assessment of life, human nature, and emotions are woven into these short stories; simple yet complex, and forthright yet laced with humor.”
— Mamta Madhavan,
Readers’ Favorite

“Dikeocha’s stories are powerful agents of change that seem intent on creating awareness for current issues facing Nigeria. While the stories are primarily plot-driven, there are numerous characters who readers will find memorable. On the whole, the author employs simple sentence structure and writes with vibrant detail to appeal to all levels of readers.”
— Mihir Shah,
The US Review of Books

Walking Shadows is a collection of nine breathtaking, compelling stories, which no doubt keeps you spellbound as you read its fascinating pages. With an uncharacteristic, innovative form of chapters, plots and characters, the author stylistically narrates his stories that are replete with satires.
Dikeocha’s collection of compelling short fictions will help new adults understand the complexities of “Love”, “Relationship”, “Determination” and “Fail-forward.” Walking Shadows subtly dwells on the themes of prostitution, child abuse and trafficking, corruption, gender inequality, social injustice, adverse economic hardship, divorce and separation, and religious profligacy among others. For a sense of the breathtaking and compelling stories ahead, here is a glimpse of three stories in the collection:
In “Campus Lovers,” Jane, a campus “ajiboo” plots her way through into enticing Iyke, her intelligent course mate with a love potion. The mad love that ensues between the duo pitches Iyke against Dr Smith, a randy lecturer who has been eyeing Jane lustfully. The brouhaha that results in the love game leaves all involved in a serious mess.
Amaka, a young virgin in “End Time Disciples,” falls into the hand of her careless and immoral Pastor, who deflowers her in his bedroom and impregnates her. Unable to control her emotions, the Pastor’s wife, Mrs Grace, scalds her husband with hot water and burns Amaka’s body with hot electric iron. Faced with the challenge of unwanted pregnancy and unprepared motherhood, Amaka must take a decision.
Challenged with the forces of nature, culture and religion; and her marriage on the edge of a break up because of no male child in “To Please Her Husband,” Lady Monica carries the ninth pregnancy in search of a male child for her disgruntled and chauvinistic husband. Determined to save her marriage, she goes through various harrowing and gruesome experiences in the hands of the native doctors and spiritual churches.
These stories are told with his characteristic sharpness of observation, honesty and humour. Walking Shadows is unputdownable. Each story is a perfect piece; together they display Dikeocha’s mastery of the form.

Author Bio:
Lina J. Potter has been dreaming up stories for as long as she can remember. She started putting her tales on paper when she was around ten years old, and, according to her own words, continued happily scribbling ever since: “Call it inspiration, the voice of a Muse, or plain obsession… but I felt I had to write it down or else my brain would explode with all these characters longing to come alive”.

However, Lina did not feel ready to share her writing with the world until recently, when in 2011 she submitted an extract from her historical fantasy novel, I am Sophia, to an online magazine. Immediately after, Lina J. Potter was approached by e-talent scouts representing publishers and other literary companies. Since then, there was no looking back for Lina J. Potter, who quickly turned into one of the most published and widely talked- about (yet least public!) romantic fantasy authors in the country. Her impressive publications list speaks for itself, and we are thrilled to announce that her first few bestsellers are now available in English.

Nowadays Lina J. Potter lives in the town of Tambov with her husband, daughter and two cats. She has a light-hearted approach to writing. Whenever she is not writing, you can find her practicing karate and lace-making. She avoids personal publicity and shies away from the literary limelight, preferring her quiet life to focus on writing.

About Hands Down: A Story of Incarceration (Part 1)

Adapted from the journal of a falsely imprisoned man,
‘Hands Down: A Story of Incarceration’
is a testament against a society quick to point fingers and cry wolf.

It implores us to question the motives of those claiming victimhood,
for it may reveal their own lack of integrity.

With each public accuser advertising their oppression,
and clamoring for sympathy, it’s clear we must develop a rational dialogue.

In these times when one tweet, one blog post or soundbite,
regardless of context or humor, could be enough to ruin a life well-lived,
we have to find a way to ground ourselves.

This non-fiction account, both infuriating and inspiring,
relates the struggle of a man trying to regain his dignity,
and reframe his situation in a positive light.

‘Hands Down: A Story of Incarceration’
is a book written for the era of mass imprisonment,
and a striking rebuttal to the new moral culture in America.
