Author Bio:
USA Today Bestselling Author Alyssa Drake has been creating stories since she could hold a crayon, preferring to construct her own bedtime tales instead of reading the titles in her bookshelves. A multi-genre author, Alyssa currently writes Historical romance, Paranormal romance, Romantic suspense, and Cozy mystery, blending a little bit of love with a little bit of mystery.
Alyssa thoroughly enjoys strong heroines and often laughs aloud when imagining conversations between her characters. One of her favorite diversions is fabricating stories about the strangers surrounding her on public transportation. When she’s not whipping up chocolate treats in the kitchen, Alyssa can be found madly scribbling notes on a train or daydreaming out the window as the scenery whips past.
When the evidence points to a supernatural killer, Detective Avalisse Ross is sucked into a cat and mouse game with a murderer who may not be human… (Alyssa’s co-written story, Eternally Yours, included in this set)

FAT: Five lies the Fat Acceptance Movement Encourages VS. The reality that saved my health physically and mentally
About FAT: Five lies the Fat Acceptance Movement Encourages VS. The reality that saved my health physically and mentally
‘There’s nothing wrong with an argument ending in bruises, there’s nothing wrong with having vodka first thing in the morning, and there’s nothing wrong with using needles that you find in the garbage’. Amazing how endorsing these statements of addiction would shock, disturb and disgust if alcoholics, physical abusers and drug addicts decided to endorse the very things that have resulted in the deaths of millions, while we stood by and did nothing. Yet we have allowed one group to do just that without while anyones who questions or opposes them is labelled as a bully, villain or a bigot. One group that has come in and has influenced millions of people to embrace their food addiction and has resulted in millions ignorantly allowing themselves to self harm in the name of ‘loving themselves’-the FAT ACCEPTANCE MOVEMENT.
In this book, I’ll reveal how I faced the reality of my health, removed my identity from my weight and changed my health and my life…
Ill be talking about my moment of truth
Incorporating exercise without spending a dime on a gym membership
Addressing ‘diet culture’
Potential side effects of Intuitive eating
Ignoring instagram methods and getting back to basics
Asking if we can really be healthy at every size?
And removing your identity from your weight

Author Bio:
I’m a European-based author who writes fantasy books with a sprinkling of magic and a dollop of historical drama. I only started writing in my late thirties, and now I can’t think how my life would be without it. So far, I’ve published three full novels and a few short stories. My first novel, “Stealing the Light” won a good ranking at a Writer’s Digest contest, so that was really exciting.
About me personally: I like cats and have too many of them. I like children and have too few (three). My life’s motto is “Life is better when you’re smiling”.
Dive In Deep
Tall, dark, and gorgeous with cobalt-blue eyes.
It doesn’t hurt that he’s the billionaire owner of the resort we’re staying at.
And all of it is just what I needed for my celebration weekend after graduating with my master’s.
It’s our last girls’ weekend before my friends and I go our separate ways, and it’s going to happen with a bang.
Literally. Hopefully.
It would be a first.
The desire was to keep things casual, but our connection is far too deep for that.
Him being ex-military and me being an Army brat.
The rules we each set up are shattered thanks to the raging passion between us.
But eventually, I have to go home.
What I never expected in a million years was that he might follow me.
Enough swimming in the shallow end of the pool.
We’re diving in deep.

Sexual Energy Transmutation – The Secret Path to Health, Wealth and Genius by Jay Onwukwe
About Sexual Energy Transmutation – the secret path to Health, Wealth and Genius by Jay Onwukwe
Sexual desire is creative energy seeking expression or outlet – not just for making babies, but for other superior accomplishments. Sex is a mighty urge to action but its forces need control and direction. Transmutation is the Key!
That same riotous surge can transmute into Business success, Political audacity, Intellectual capacity, Sporting laurels, Spiritual supremacy, or whatever you want, only if you know how!
Indeed, the creative essence of sex goes beyond procreation. Unfortunately, many men being unaware unknowingly dissipate, and thus fail to avail themselves of the innate creative potency of their abundant sex drive; and this is one primary cause of mediocrity.
Fortunate indeed is the man with a healthy sex drive, who also has learned the art of Sex Transmutation. For in the source of this vital power lie also the sources of Health, Wealth and Genius.
Sex, the carnal root of Man’s generation, can be the source of his degeneration, yet holds the key to his regeneration. When properly harnessed, the primordial powers of sex and its creative essence that initiates all earthly existence can be used to achieve anything you want. This book tells you how!
“…I am about to be 41 …I literally cry for the decades I’ve wasted. I wish I knew this stuff 20 or 30 years ago…..” (Amazon Verified Purchase).

Talon the Black
What would you do if a dragon fell from the sky? Dragons don’t exist, and if they did, they certainly shouldn’t fall from the sky…Claire Evans is a small-towner from Indiana faced with this exact situation. When a dragon crash-lands in her corn field, she goes gallivanting off to rescue it.
This incident triggers a chain of events that sweep our heroine into a complicated plot to destroy the kingdom of Dragonwall. Dragonwall is a kingdom unlike any other, with brooding dragons that can turn into men, Sprites who hide within magical forests, greedy Gobelins, and so much more. Lurking in the coldest reaches is a powerful sorcerer whose only desire is to bring about a past long forgotten, a past that favors those of magical blood and condemns those who are not worthy. To achieve these means, he would annihilate an entire species.
Claire finds herself thrust into an old-fashioned world similar to those she’s grown up reading about, one of fantasy, politics, and intrigue. A lifetime of books hardly prepared her for what is to come. She must face unimaginable difficulties, and in so doing, discover secrets about herself. All the while, there is one obstacle that stands in her way: the King of Dragonwall. Claire needs him on her side if she is to succeed. Can she show him the truth and earn his trust?
The King of Dragonwall is not like those before him. Troubled and temperamental, he is scarred by more than the events that shaped him. Worst of all, he is mateless. With no queen and no heir, his subjects are demanding he abandon tradition and marry into nobility. But with the rising threats upon his borders, Gobelin unrest to the east, and talk of an even darker terror to the north, he will soon have far greater problems than that of finding a wife…

About Khon’Tors Wrath by Leigh Roberts
Two Legends locked in battle. One: The Great Khon’Tor, powerful Leader of The People. The other: The People’s renowned Healer, Adia.

Hated by the Leader’s mate for reasons she does not understand, Adia endures one challenge after another as she struggles to make a place for the forbidden Offspring.
She was prepared for him to be angry. She was prepared for him to punish her. But she was not prepared for Khon’Tor’s Wrath.

Author Bio:
Raised on the beautiful shores of Lake Huron in Harbor Beach Michigan, I was your typical farm girl. My family was massive and fairly poor, but I never noticed any of that. I was surrounded by cousins and siblings all the time. Being born a triplet guaranteed that I was never alone. I spent a lot of time on my grandparent’s farm back then. My mother worked several jobs from waitressing to becoming an elderly care assistant while my father commuted an hour and a half to work in a factory in Port Huron to support me and my four siblings. All around the same ages, mind you. While they were gone, we were left to explore the farm and the patches of woods surrounding the property. Plus, the lake was not even five miles down the road! Lazy summers made a great way to develop a love of books and of using my imagination. Soon enough, I took up hobbies like drawing and writing. My grandmother often let me use one of her old typewriters I found in her basement. My siblings and I came up with a weekly newspaper for her full of silly stories and of things we observed around the farm.
Those days were not to last. The last summer I spent in Michigan was the summer Detroit and the auto industry along the coast failed. That meant that my father was going to be out of a job. Though I wished desperately to stay, he moved the family to Auburn Alabama in order to stay employed with his company. A thousand miles away from home, we all had to adjust to the Southern heat and the quick pace of Auburn. I was fifteen at the time, just starting my tenth-grade year. Adjusting hadn’t gone all that well for me. I found everything difficult. Making friends or fitting in at school had never been so hard. For that first year, I was nothing but a “Damn Yank.” Eventually I made a handful of friends, but I still had trouble feeling like I belonged. I fell into a deep depression. My salvation came in the form of countless notebooks with ideas and sketches filling them from cover to cover. It became the escape I craved. I needed it.
Despite this, I didn’t start seriously writing till well after I graduated Highschool. I still feel the same way about writing. I love how words can take you far away from your troubles. And it is also this feeling I want to create with my books.

About FROM A CAT’S VIEW VOL. II
You’ll never look at a cat the same way again….
Volume two of FROM A CAT’S VIEW contains 18 new stories written by authors from around the world who appreciate a cat’s unique sensibilities.
Fantasy, paranormal, contemporary and historical fiction–something for everyone. Like the first volume, you can expect to be terrified and delighted, to laugh… and to cry. But know: These aren’t grandmother’s cat stories.
CALIFORNIA COOKIN’ – Mega-fires ravage the foothills of the Sierra Nevada range. Ash blankets communities as far away as San Francisco. Now, even the ‘hangers-on’ must let go. The responsibility to lead Gloria thru the devastation to shelter falls to Miss Molly, a 15-pound house cat with a silicon skeleton.
BLACK CATS – Carmine’s beloved servant, Jessica, knew he liked things comfy and cat-centric. She dutifully kept them that way. But his comfy world shuddered the day Jessica brought home the sinister figurine. Did Carmine detect the faintest twitch of its porcelain tail?
SMILE – City cats have it posh. For feral cats in the Outback it’s a different story. He is hunted by wild dogs, snakes, hawks, and the indigenous folk. But this Tommo–with his mesmerizing smile–is unlike any predator the feral cat has faced before.
THE OUT WORLD – His master put on the uniform with the shiny buckle and many buttons and left for the out world. When the boy didn’t come home, Bear was determined to find him. Quite the challenge for an unsophisticated house cat who’s never ventured past the front porch before.
