Puck Me Secretly by Odette Stone
About Puck Me Secretly by Odette Stone
I’ve never been in love.
I’ve never had an orgasm, but I’ve faked plenty.
I want to experience love. Real, passionate love.
I don’t want to die.
It’s funny what blurts out of your mouth when the plane you’re on is going down, and I didn’t hold back with my seat mate when my plane decided to crash.
My hysterical confessions didn’t faze the muscular stranger that sat beside me. In fact, he promised if we survived, he’d give me my first orgasm.
We survived.
I came.
And then he left without telling me who he was.
On the first day of my job, I stood in front of the Vancouver Wolves hockey team and called out a number. #33.
Imagine my shock when he skated forward.
Max is an incredible hockey player, whose wild, out-of-control antics have almost derailed his career. So many secrets shroud his past and continue to threaten his future.
Now he’s my secret. And that secret could ruin everything.
Puck Me SECRETLY. Some secrets are too big to keep.

Author Bio:
Odette Stone lives in beautiful Vancouver, BC. She writes Contemporary Romance novels but when it comes to reading, she devours pretty much everything.
When you can pull Odette away from her book boyfriend, you might find her walking along the sea wall, biking on paths near the beach, drinking copious amounts of coffee or being a general pest to her real-life boyfriend, who’s nickname for her is Weasy (long story).
When she can spare the time and she’s feeling particularly sporty, she will get out for a round of golf or perhaps a kayak session. She prefers the two-person kayak, because her arms gets tired after about ten minutes. Be warned.
She’s backpacked/traveled (or worked) in sixteen different countries, so if you need an expert on packing your bags, she’s your person. She self-references as a “friendly-introvert” who can fake her way through any social situation, but would be perfectly happy living as a recluse on some island – as long as she had internet.
Odette Quote, “I love writing strong, alpha males. They, in my mind, are a unique breed of men.”

Shifted by Tricia Barr, Joanna Reeder, Angel Leya, Jesse Booth, Alessandra Jay
About Shifted by Tricia Barr, Joanna Reeder, Angel Leya, Jesse Booth, Alessandra Jay
Rule #1: Never go out after dark.
Rule #2: Never go into large bodies of water.
Rule #3: Stay off of social media.
Myreen always knew her mom held some deep dark secret; the rules, the moving, the years of unanswered questions. But she didn’t think breaking one rule, just once, would lead to the death of her mother. And she never expected to find out that she was a mermaid shifter, or that her mother was killed by vampires.
Whisked away in the middle of the night for her own safety, Myreen finds herself in a secret school for shifters. But starting over in a new school in the middle of the year–even if it is for the millionth time–is never easy. With rumors swirling, mean girls circling, and two incredibly attractive guys tugging her in separate directions, Myreen just wants to get through the school year without having a meltdown in front of everyone.
She’s learning so much, but for every question answered, a new one bubbles up. Myreen will need to untangle the web of secrets surrounding her if she ever wants to find out why her mother was murdered. As she dives deeper into the mystery, she discovers a truth about herself that no one saw coming, and it will change the fate of the shifter world forever.

A Cup of Blood by Troy A Hill
About A Cup of Blood by Troy A Hill
The Witch Hunters want to kill me… But a Celtic Goddess has other plans …
I was born in ancient Rome. I died when Augustus wore the purple.
Six centuries later, the Witch Hunters Guild desires to cleanse Dark Ages Europe of all they deem unholy. Including me. So I flee to Dark Ages Britain in hopes they haven’t brought their fire into that land yet.
An unlucky encounter sets one of their zealous bands on my trail before I can quench my thirst for blood.
Their dogged pursuit pits my magical undead need for blood – the thirst I call “my demon” – against my sanity. My demon doesn’t understand friend nor foe. She only cares about blood. When she’s in control, we’ll do all we have to in order to sate our hunger.
The Witch Hunters drive me dangerously close to unleashing her. If I do, there will be hell to pay.

Author Bio:
Turn off that light and go to sleep,” my mother often yelled. I was one of those kids who stayed up late, hiding under the covers reading in bed. Occasionally, the books were comics. Usually, they were the adventures of Frank and Joe Hardy, or Jupiter Jones and his fellow investigators working under Alfred Hitchcock. Sometimes Nancy Drew even made an appearance.
Eventually, I discovered the other worlds of Tolkien and Terry Brooks, Piers Anthony and E.E. Doc Smith. The future histories of Robert A. Heinlein were my favorites, and I longed for more fantasy in amongst the science fiction. The few series that were developing (Thomas Covenant, the Unbeliever) were ok, but we needed more. I knew I would write better ones someday.
In my college years, Fantasy fiction came of age, and the floodgates opened. David Edding’s Belgariad series is among my all-time favorites. The urban fantasies of Laurell K. Hamilton and Kim Harris brought a new genre to light for me. I’ve finally gotten around to cracking open George R.R. Martin’s epic series as well.
Eventually, I went away to college. I had given up my dreams of writing after only two rejection letters from the pulp magazines of the earlier 1980s. Two degrees and too many dollars later, past the age of fifty, I decided to give writing another try. Thus, the Cup of Blood and Penllyn Chronicles series were born.
My wife and I live now in smoggy Los Angeles California. On good days, I and Loko Kitty sit outside on the veranda and write. Well, I write or edit. Loko Kitty is in charge of tail-twitching, and meeowping at the hummingbirds that come to our feeder.

Heart of a Scoundrel
Recent heiress, Miss Amanda Sharp, is out in Society for the first time and enjoying the social whirl, especially when she dances her first dance with the handsome Lord Somersby. She’s aware of his bad reputation with ladies, but she’s confident she can lead him down the aisle to the altar without raising a scandal. Headstrong, and determined to reform Lord Somersby, Amanda finds herself in danger of losing more than a hand of cards to the scandalous lord.
After several months of licking the wounds he received at a disastrous Christmas party, Richard, Lord Somersby, has another wager to win. He must woo and jilt three young ladies in a month’s time in order to win his racing stable before donning the leg shackle of marriage with a duke’s daughter. His third victim is Miss Amanda Sharpe, a refreshingly determined young woman who makes her interest in him well known. It should be child’s play for the villainous Richard to woo her, make her think he’s in love with her, then spurn her. A plan that might work if he can keep his mind on winning rather than on the lady’s entrancing form and fiery spirit.

Author Bio:
Paul J Bennett (b. 1961) emigrated from England to Canada in 1967. His father served in the British Royal Navy, and his mother worked for the BBC in London. He followed in his father’s footsteps and joined the Canadian Armed Forces in 1983. He is married to Carol Bennett, and has three daughters who are all creative in their own right.
Paul’s interest in writing started in his teen years when he discovered the roleplaying game ‘Dungeons & Dragons’ by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson. What attracted him to this new hobby was the creativity it required; the need to create realms, worlds and adventures that pull the gamers into his stories.
In his 30’s, Paul started to dabble in creating his own roleplaying system, using the Peninsular War in Portugal as his backdrop. His regular gaming group were willing victims, er, participants in helping to playtest the new system. A few years later he took his roleplaying system and added additional settings; including Science Fiction, Post-Apocalyptic, World War II, and the all-important Fantasy Realm.
The beginnings of his first book ‘Servant to the Crown’ originated three years ago when he began a new fantasy campaign. For the world of Merceria, he ran his adventures like a TV show; with seasons that each had twelve episodes, and an overarching plot. After the campaign ended, he was inspired to sit down to write his first novel; he knew all the characters, what they had to accomplish, what needed to happen to move the plot along.
Paul has mapped out an entire series entitled ‘Heir to the Crown’ in the World of Merceria and is looking forward to sharing all the books with his readers over the next few years.

The Starting Point by Louise Large
About The Starting Point by Louise Large
The Starting Point was produced with those who endlessly struggle with fitness in mind.
The most prevalent challenge, for myself, and others I knew, was always staying disciplined, motivated and consistent, and as a result, ever actually getting started with fitness (to the point where change could take place).
When you feel lost and don’t know what to do, there are so many different stories and methods and things you can buy, that claim to get you fit, or help you lose weight. But if you’re one of many who don’t actually experience results this way, I wrote this E-book because I discovered that leading a healthy and fit lifestyle doesn’t need to be so complicated. You can have goals, but really what it comes down to is the consistent effort, backed by your faith and belief in yourself. These ‘quick fix’ methods can leave you making excuses, and thinking you’re not capable because the results you get are either non-existent or aren’t in anyway sustainable or enjoyable.
Exercise and living healthily should be an enjoyable and rewarding way of living. The benefits are countless, your confidence and sense of self appreciation can skyrocket. It doesn’t in anyway ever need to feel punishing. You are looking after your body because you love it and want it to be the strongest it can be. And even if that isn’t your goal, you can’t ever deny knowing how good it feels to know you have physical health strapped under your belt, or you know you’ve fed your body well and/or given it some exercise.
It never occurred to me at the time that your mentality plays such a fundamental part in your abilities to stay fit and healthy, too. Your thoughts and excuses are the reasons why you don’t exercise or feel worthy of change. The thoughts you speak to yourself, which, are very often subconscious, impact you more than you realise.
I used to believe I was addicted to unhealthy food. I used to believe I couldn’t exercise regularly enough to the point where I actually saw results. But these beliefs only ever transpired in to the physical equivalent.
I was more focused on all the things I didn’t like about myself, instead of using my energy to go and workout or make better food choices. I remained wallowing in my own self-pity as I continued to feel trapped within the body I was so unhappy with, simply because I didn’t go ahead and do the things that would help me.
This eBook discusses the many challenges I have encountered through becoming fitter and stronger, which may be comparable to some of your own. I want to share my story because I was able to OVERCOME the challenges so many people encounter. The problems I faced ranges from questions about what exercises to do, to what kinds of food to eat for better energy and performance. I’ve also covered a great deal about mentality and the actual habit forming of remaining consistent.
People often look to motivation as their main source of drive and blame their lack of motivation for their lack of results! But have you ever noticed how motivation fluctuates naturally from day to day? Relying on motivation alone is therefore unlikely to be the factor that gets you from point A to point B.
I believe that you, as a human being, are capable of being fit and healthy. You’re designed to be this way. You have a body to move, and natural food given to you from the same source in which you originate from. You were placed on this planet with a purpose and becoming fit and healthy shouldn’t have to stop you or bring you down! I preach how important it is for you to look after both your body AND you mind, and therefore, I want to empower you to become the person you KNOW you’re supposed to be.
‘The Starting Point’ is made up of 3 main sections: Exercise, Diet and Mentality.
In each of the 3 sections I will talk about various topics and problems you may encounter or want to know more about, each one relating to either exercise, diet or mentality.
What you need is to just GET STARTED!
