They murdered her sister. They threatened her church. But their day of reckoning will cost her everything…
When Cici Gurule finds the dead body of a parishioner in the nearby Santa Fe National Forest, she’s horrified to realize the victim bears the same stab wounds that ended her twin sister’s life one year earlier.
Now, as a freewheeling, progressive reverend who’ll stop at nothing to protect her flock, she’ll need to join forces with her detective friend and loyal pair of Great Pyrenees to hunt down the killer before she’s forced to officiate another funeral.
Soon, however, Cici discovers her sister was on the trail of a deep-rooted criminal operation, and her death was no random act of violence. With the criminals out for Cici’s blood, she needs to catch the wolf by the tail…before it goes in for the kill.

Revenge!
Natalie McMasters is twenty, short and blonde (OK, it’s bleached), a way cute former stripper and a pre-law student at State. Nattie also works as a private detective at her uncle’s 3M Detective Agency. She’s deeply in love with her girlfriend Lupe, also a former stripper and undocumented immigrant, who’s now a pole-dancing instructor at a local gym. They’ve finally gotten Lupe’s eight-year-old son Eduardo into public school, and it looks like the American Dream may soon become a reality for their little family.
That is until a steamy video of Nattie and Lupe appears on the campus-wide closed-circuit TV system. The video is only the first of a series of distressing events that affects every aspect of Nattie’s life and threatens the well-being of her family and friends as well. What could Nattie have possibly done in her short life to deserve the callous revenge her unseen tormentor is so brutally exacting?
Revenge! is ripped from today’s headlines and full of the unexpected plot twists and non-stop action that Nattie’s fans have come to expect. It has a shocking ending that you won’t see coming, even though all the clues are there.

About The Blind Planet Start-Up by Samuel Sutton
Being young is hard: you have to go to school, figure it “all” out and, most importantly, colonize a planet with John F. Kennedy and a random girl you just met. Whaaattt?
Apollo Shapely is a 21 year old basket case, who’s about to drop out of school for the second time. He needs to clear his head, so he goes on a train ride to New York City. Things turn around, however, when Apollo meets a similarly troubled girl named Rachel and a monk. Rachel is relatively normal, while the monk is actually an alien named John F. Kennedy, who’s chosen Apollo to colonize a newly found oxygenous planet. Apollo doesn’t have anything else going on and Rachel wants to get out of town, so they hop in JFK’s space ship and shoot off into outer space for an adventure filled with: sex (mostly orgies), booze, weed, robbery, the destruction of redneck planets, generally harmless lizard people and scammin’ NASA.

Okay, Sweet Universe by Sam Sutton
About Okay, Sweet Universe by Sam Sutton
Danny and Jose think they’ve figured out what happens when you die. The human brain slowly powers down and during the time between it powering down and completely shutting off it dreams up a whole new life for you to live. Then, that process is repeated. Basically, the life you’re living now is just a dream while you’re previous life’s brain is turning off. With this hypothesis in mind, Danny and Jose perfect lucid dreaming with the intention of crafting a dream world so perfect that their brains automatically create this dream upon their death. Ultimately, Danny and Jose want to try to make their next lives perfect. Of course, this doesn’t turn out so well.
Danny’s dream world is a dystopia, wherein a psychotic lady named Marisa reduced the human population to prevent further global warming by crafting a food supplement that inhibits reproduction; but the supplement backfired, turning people into either sex maniacs (Viriloids), sadists and masochists (Sadie-Masos) or total gluttons (Chubs); and these primal urges drive everyone’s lives. So, in Danny’s dream he is a young guy named James Darwin, a sex maniac. James has a sex partner named Stephanie (which is abnormal for this world), but she sadly dies and through this tragic event he slowly learns to feel like a normal human again. While wandering aimlessly, trying to cope, James happens across a facility run by the one and only Marisa, who screwed up the world in the first place. Marisa is running her facility with a team of chimpanzees who she manipulated into consciousness through hallucinogenic drug treatments. Marisa wants James to tries these treatments to see if she can get him to communicate with plants, a type of testing both he and the chimpanzees are very suspicious about. This sets James and his chimpanzee friends on a mission to try to discover her rotten plan.
On the other hand, we have Jose’s dream world. Jose is a simple detective named Alex Meaks who’s fresh on the job as an Alaskan State Detective in a small town called Cordova. Jose thinks his dream world is boring until one day Alex and his partner, Het, uncover a mass grave underneath a frozen pond where 5 guys and 5 girls of almost identical features have drowned. This sends Alex on a chase through the mountains to find out why these people were killed. Not only does he go through the mountains, but he eventually goes into and under the mountains…about a mile under the mountains. Under the mountains he finds a civilization of plant cultivating people, who name Alex as king and elect him to join them in a battle with another civilization under another mountain.
The boys think they can switch from their dreams to reality without their lives changing, but when an authority figure vaguely named Dr. Campbell kidnaps them at gunpoint and informs them they may be disrupting the balance between universes their lives become a whole lot more complicated…and so do their dreams.
“Okay, Sweet Universe” will be free through August 16, so take advantage!

Billion Dollar Man
I never wanted wealth, power, or the responsibility that goes with it.
Making a difference by fighting fires was my dream. That and a pretty girl to love at night.
But life didn’t ask me.
After struggling through the business world, I finally have a chance to return home to chase my dreams.
The girl next door, my best friend’s little sister, was there waiting. And she’s all grown up.
But she’s not too thrilled to see me back.
But I’ll change that. I can’t help but fight for what I know we could be, no matter what it costs me.
When I finally start to melt her heart, life calls me back to the city, back to the grind thanks to tragedy.
It’s her or my future, and I have no choice in the matter.
My father’s company is my only legacy, or is it?
A little life is growing inside of her, and that changes the game. My self sacrifice doesn’t seem so damn important anymore.
I might have been forced into becoming a billion dollar man, but I’ll always be a small town guy at heart.
And that pretty girl that stole my heart all those years ago?
She’s gonna be mine. Like she always has been.
