L.A.ser Boy  

About L.A.ser Boy

L.A.ser Boy is the story of Lorenzo Almanzo. With his often spectacular but tactically useless superpowers, Zo makes his living as the sidekick on a superhero television show. The show is a mild hit then, when the star quits unexpectedly, Zo gets fired. In a world in which superheroes are real, Zo is a fake, a poser, a pretender. Then he meets a real vigilante, Zenda the Magnificent, and his life changes.

The United Protectors, the world’s premiere superhero group, battle supervillains, terrorists, dictators and each other. Their leader, Valloria, the most powerful of all superheroes, pushes the Protectors hard. In order to keep the planet and its people safe, Valloria will go to any lengths. Her drive and the sacrifices she demands of both herself and the other Protectors tear the group apart.

That’s when the aliens attack.

An epic, sweeping story that spans the ages and the galaxy The Long Invasion begins on Earth and spreads out to encompass multiple worlds. L.A.ser Boy is set in a new superhero universe that combines the best elements of the Thomas, Buscema and Adams’ Kree-Skrull War, Moore and Gibbons’ Watchmen and Busiek and Ross’ Astro City. L.A.ser Boy introduces a cast of characters that are both familiar and brand new. Watch them struggle and grow in a way no other superhero series has done. All right here (and nowhere else) in the books of The Long Invasion.

Author Bio:
Cameron has been a fan of fantasy and science fiction ever since he can remember. Growing up he used to fall asleep listening to CBS Radio Mystery Theater and spent Saturday afternoons watching Creature Double Feature on WLVI, channel 56. Also, he collected comics and ended up doing his master’s thesis (“How Green Is Your Power Ring?”) on the structure of the modern, American superhero comic book.

His mother is a published poet and his father a world-class educator. He caught the “writing bug” from them at a very early age. He can remember scrawling short stories on scraps of paper in his bedroom late at night when he was supposed to be asleep.

His old job allowed him to travel the world. He has been to the Great Wall of China, Angkor Wat, the Taj Mahal, the Sahara Desert, Machu Picchu and countless other spots in Asia, Africa and South America. He has also traveled extensively throughout the United States and is, once again, living in the Colorado Rockies.
He has been inspired by both his travels and all the people he’s met and worked with along the way.

Lonesome Wolf  

About Lonesome Wolf

A woman on her own in Texas struggles to overcome hardships.
A man alone on the rugged frontier works to overcome prejudices.
Through frontier hospitality, faith in God, and shared trouble, they forge an untraditional and potentially dangerous friendship – and friendship is what they strive to keep it, each locking deeper feelings inside for the sake of the other.
But it seems like God has other plans, and it isn’t long before they realize they have a decision to make: to work at banding together to face their problems or to insist on remaining apart to fight their battles alone.
This story is a heartwarming tale about how God’s laws and love supersede man’s, how man’s obstacles are God’s opportunities, and how doubts in oneself become faith in Him.

The words haven’t left her alone since.

Fairytale Formula  

About Fairytale Formula

Fairytale Formula is a non-fiction novel for the dreamer, which uses Albert Einstein’s theories and fairy tale stories, to unlock the secrets of the Happily Ever After. The book touches on quantum physics, philosophy, the law of attraction as well as my own personal experiences growing up in U.S.S.R where fairytale was not the formula. I focus on the eight biggest lessons of fairytales to show that happiness isn’t found, it is created. And a fairytale isn’t a destination, it’s a decision. Albert Einstein once said that the person with big dreams is more powerful than the one with all the facts. He said that the true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination. And, he even said: “If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales.” Why would a genius recommend fairytales? Because fairytales are packed with important life lessons. They nourish our imaginations, they inspire us and feed us hope, and they teach us how to live. They tell us that magic is real, and that dragons can be beaten. They teach us that dreams come true, that true love exists, and that Happily Ever After is, in fact, possible. The book may not get you to your dream wedding, or your dream job. But, it will encourage you to choose dreams over decisions; intuition over logic, and magic over reality, to help you live the life of your dreams and find happiness in the moment, which is all we ever really have.

Chasing Fire  

About Chasing Fire

A military alpha hero. A flirtatious vixen. A crazed game of seduction.

One pair of panties changed his life.

“I’m putting my panties in your back pocket. You have until two am to get them back to me. If you do, you will be rewarded. Handsomely.”

Those were the words Victoria Johnson whispered to Scott Harris after she stuffed a pair of lacy red panties into his back pocket. That was Tori’s favorite game: No strings attached sex. But he’d have to chase her first.

Years later, when Scott returns from Afghanistan minus one leg, he thinks the sexual games are over. His military career is over. Hell, his life is over.

But then Tori shows up in his hospital room as fiery and flirtatious as the day he left. It turns out she’s more than just a beautiful disaster with sexy red panties.

Much more.

She may be trouble but she’s everything he’s ever wanted. Except for Tori, things are never that simple. Because Tori faces a tragedy of her own. An accident that rips her life apart, leaving her without sight and struggling to recover the woman she once was.

For Scott, Tori’s still the one he’s waited his whole life for. He’s done letting fate tear them apart. It will be a challenge to win her shattered heart once and for all.

Lucky thing Scott Harris never backs away from a challenge.

Chasing Fire is a full length, friends with benefits romance. LOTS of steam, no cheating and a HEA. Featuring a hot-as-hell alpha and a sexy artist who both have filthy mouths. Intended for a mature audience.

Free Worlds 1 – A Worlds Apart Anthology by James Wittenbach  

About Free Worlds 1 – A Worlds Apart Anthology by James Wittenbach

Free Worlds is a collection of shorter stories set within the Worlds Apart Universe. It contains four previously published stories, four fresh, funny, stories, and a “deleted scene” from Worlds Apart Book 12. Available at a discount (or free from the website) to introduce new readers to the series.

– ‘Fiddler’s Green’ – The crew of Pegasus gets more than they bargained for when they crash-land on the planet Fiddler’s Green and must negotiate with the planet’s strange inhabitants for a “Deswampificator” to raise their sunken spaceship.

– ‘Independence’ – The crew of Pegasus get more than they bargained for when they get stuck in a weird zone of inexplicable madness following a routine visit to the planet Independence.

– “Cotopaxi” – The crew of Pegasus get more than they bargained for when they explore an ancient derelict space pyramid in search of parts for their damaged ship.

– “Alpha Priori” – The crew of the survey ship Astra Cartographer gets more than they bargained for when they visit an abandoned research base in the ring system of an artificial planet.

– “Triton Lyra” – Eccentric interstellar trillionaire Bernadette Keeler takes her ambitious new assistant on a journey to sell weapons to the remote and dangerous Triton Lyra system, but the business deal turns out to be more than they bargained for.

– “Cherchez La Femme” – Young Goneril Lear’s first exo-planetary mission turns out to be more or less what she bargained for.

– “Pioneers” – How did the human race breed fast enough to colonize an entire galaxy in just 2000 years? This is how. Most of the people get what they bargained for except the poor saps in the colony ships.

– “Electra IV” – When the Commonwealth of the Galaxy collapsed, a lot of struggling colonies died with it which was not what they bargained for. This is the story of one of them. (All the other stories are pretty happy. This one is sad.)

– “Captain Hepburn Has Some Ideas” — Captain Hepburn crashes a meeting of fleet commanders to bargain for an array of increasingly absurd strategies to defeat the Aurelians.

Author Bio:
James Wittenbach is a carbon-based life form that resides in North America. From his office/man-cave in the converted church he lives in, he churns out funny, offbeat, politically incorrect, sometimes insensitive science fiction. (The church he was a member of kicked him out, so he bought his own.)

His Worlds Apart Book Series follows the adventures of the crew of the Pathfinder Ship Pegasus, as they try to explore and reconnect the lost colonies of the Great Commonwealth of the Galaxy, a thousand years after its interstellar collapse.

He finds inspiration for his writing in history (his library is packed with historical nonfiction). And each Worlds Apart Book is based on how historical events shaped the destiny of each world in it. The writing is spiced with hilarious nods to sci-fi clichés and homages to the dumber parts of movies and television.

When not writing quirky science fiction, he follows college hockey and college football, plays video games, and works on the continual, neverending renovations to the church where he lives. Every Friday, he convenes with friends on the internet and they watch really bad movies through a shared server.

Finding Your Purpose
Tips to Survive Parenthood for the Overwhelmed and Exhausted
How to stop killing yourself as a mother.
As a mother, it can be difficult to remember to care for yourself while raising a family.
Not matter what ages your children are…whether they’re infants, toddlers, pre-, middle, or high school, you’re faced with making the right decisions when raising your children. You dedicate everything you have to them. As a result, you feel exhausted, overwhelmed and lacking in personal passion. Yes, you are the woman in charge. However, your role has become, “the exhausted ringmaster of the 3-ring circus”.
You’re working a 40-hour, or more, work week while parenting your children, cooking, cleaning, being there for your spouse, and everything else that needs to be done. Let’s not forget your obligations as a Boy Scout leader, dance mom, and PTA chairperson.
Sadly, your 40-hour work week is the only reprieve you get from your 24-hour-a-day job of stressing over whether your son is ever going to stop wearing skinny jeans; why your daughter won’t wear panties; and how you’re ever going to find time to complete all your obligations.
Even though you’re – “Rockin’ it” – you have no time for yourself. When was the last time you did something for yourself? I’m not talking about sleeping for 6 hours straight or taking a shower. You don’t remember do you? That’s where the problem is!
That’s why I wrote this book.
This book is straight and to the point…featuring the best purpose manifesting methods that have worked for me.

About Hold Strong: A World War II Novel about Freedom, Forgiveness, and the True Story of the Deadliest Accident in U.S. Military History

“At times brutal and gut-wrenching, at times miraculous and awe-inspiring . . . this novel is like ‘Lord of the Flies’ with a better ending, a story I will never forget.” – MARK SULLIVAN, author of Amazon #1 best seller BENEATH A SCARLET SKY and five New York Times #1 best sellers with James Patterson.

Based on the incredible true story of an unequaled disaster, Hold Strong is a triumphant tale of love, faith, and courage against all odds.

October 1944. After two and a half years as an American POW in the Philippines, Sam knows how to survive. But when Japanese captors force Sam and eighteen-hundred other prisoners into the hold of a crowded cargo ship, everything changes.

Meanwhile, the head of the U.S. code-breaking unit in Hawaii, Jasper Holmes, intercepts a message about a Japanese convoy and its cargo. Holmes forwards the target details to Commander Ed Blakely aboard the USS Shark II submarine, patrolling the South China Sea.

What happens next is so explosive, so shocking, the truth stayed secret for decades. Caught in a drama of epic scale, Sam battles outer trials and inner demons. Can he get home to his fiancé, Sarah? Will he find freedom and forgiveness?

Anchored in historical facts, HOLD STRONG sweeps along at breakneck speed. Fans of BENEATH A SCARLET SKY, THE NIGHTINGALE, and UNBROKEN will enjoy this soaring testament to the human spirit.

Secrets Along the Coast Of California  

About Secrets Along the Coast Of California

She was just a pretty young thing at NYU Film School. Just another bright-eyed, beautiful girl wanting to make it big in the film industry, as if she had a chance.

Course, I was already a billionaire. Didn’t need the film, didn’t need the cash. At the time, didn’t know I needed her. And when I sped off to France, she headed to Los Angeles—ready to make her mark.

That was six years ago.

Imagine my surprise when I find out her new fiancé is Los Angeles’ greatest business asshole, the hotel owner Montgomery Wilton. We party together; even talk about getting into business together.

And before I knew he was Penny’s fiancé, we even hunted for women together.
But now, I know the truth. Caught him tearing into her, yelling at her till she couldn’t stop crying at a beach-side party in Santa Monica. This asshole, Montgomery.

I will end him. Instead of hunting women, I now hunt him.

And I’m not only after revenge.

No. I’m after her.

She was the love of my life.

And I can’t let her end up with someone as evil as him. Even if it destroys me.
