Will Walt prevail or will he succumb to the evil curse that has plagued this troubled family for four generations?

Beg Me Angel by Leah Holt
I never asked to have her, but now she’ll have to beg me to let her go.
All I wanted was to be left alone, to be free from the past that tried to consume me.
Until I found her beaten and left for dead in my woods.
I never expected to see a young girl curled up in the brush, covered in dirt and bruises. She was so innocent and helpless.
So I brought her home, I helped her, I took care of her. . .
I saved her.
When the dirt came off I saw nothing but woman. Her figure was full and needy, her lush lips were tempting and ready to taste my c**k.
Everything about her made me want her for myself.
And when she told me she was a virgin, that was enough to seal her fate.
I knew what she wanted and I was ready to give it to her.
But the world was looking for this lost girl, she had a family that wanted her back.
Even if I had the soul to do what was right, my heart wouldn’t let me. She became mine the moment I cradled her in my arms.
And I didn’t plan on that ever changing.
Why should I let go of something that was mine?

Keeper of the Flame: Orrick by Elizabeth Rose
Keeper of the Flame: Orrick by Elizabeth Rose
Immortality isn’t always a blessing . . . sometimes it’s a curse!
An old sorcerer is how everyone knows him, but Orrick Pendragon has only chosen to shapeshift into the image an old man because of his painful past. When he stole the Eternal Flame over a hundred years ago, he had no idea of the consequences of his action. Being immortal and also married, he had to watch as his loving wife grew old and died while he stayed young and continued to live forever. Heartbroken, he swore, he would never fall in love again. But when Lady Hope appears at his tower door seeking his assistance to find the Eternal Flame, he’s intrigued and strangely attracted to her. Against his better judgment, he finds himself shapeshifting back into his young and handsome form of Sir Rick.
Lady Hope Threston arrives at Blake Castle as Lord Corbett’s ward. However, it is only a ploy on her part to get what she wants. She’s been betrothed to Lord Irwin, a blackhearted, greedy man. In order to convince him to break the betrothal, she agrees to help him find the Eternal Flame. However, she needs the assistance of the old sorcerer to do it. Lord Irwin wants to be powerful, invincible, and immortal, but all she wants is to be free. Then she meets the handsome Sir Rick and magically, everything changes.
Can an immortal man who is destined to live forever, find love again with a mortal woman who is bound to die?

2 Paragraphs 4 Liberty: Solutions that are Practical, Effective, Responsible, Libertarian by James Gray
2 Paragraphs 4 Liberty: Solutions that are Practical, Effective, Responsible, Libertarian by James Gray
This book contrasts the approach to problems usually used by big government as contrasted by the results gained through the Libertarian values and approaches of responsibility at all levels of society, including personal, group, corporate and governmental. Big Government tilts the results in favor of its cronies, and it costs everyone else great expense and lost opportunities. But the Free Market, along with private property rights and responsibility, results in much more success for everyone except the special interests. Read this book, and you will agree.

A Truth Stranger Than Fiction
About A Truth Stranger Than Fiction
Demonic entities. Physical attacks. Unexplained audio phenomena.
Not the kind of thing a sceptic would expect to encounter when setting out to shadow a Paranormal Investigation team as they travel all across the United Kingdom to visit some of it’s most haunted locations.
From the notorious Bodmin Jail to the home of Europe’s most active Poltergeist, 30 East Drive, this is the true story of a sceptic who sets out to discover for himself the truth about the world of the Paranormal by logging his own independent evidence over the course of a year.
What he discovers along the way will shock and surprise him, as the project takes a very different direction to the one he expected, one which will affect him personally in more ways than he could have anticipated.
Along the way, he will capture evidence which threatens to blow his sceptical viewpoint away, from disembodied voices, full form apparitions captured on camera and a conversation with a demon.
And the best part is, you don’t have to take the author’s word for it, as every shred of evidence captured has been uploaded and made available for independent review for the reader as they make their way through the book, allowing them to make up their own mind on if it is paranormal in nature or not.

Phat(‘s) Chance for Buddha in Houston (Or How I Spent My Summer Vacation)
About Phat(‘s) Chance for Buddha in Houston (Or How I Spent My Summer Vacation)
It’s what you have been wondering for years–just how many Buddhist monks can you fit into a 1970 Buick Electra 225 convertible?
It’s 1990 and just another typical summer day in Mapletown, Indiana until Uncle Phat, The Reptile (or Uncle Mike, as he used to be called), wanders into the garage and gives his puberty-stricken 15 year old nephew, Galen Calcoun, only about an hour to pack. The four of them, a squinting Uncle Phat, his beloved Ruby–a 1970 ruby red white-top convertible Buick Electra 225, Galen, and “the three books about Buddhism” that take their place in the middle of the front seat, are headed to Houston, Texas to “look at an engine” for Ruby. They leave a note for the family and with ZZ Top blaring, take to the road.
Both are escaping not only the monotony of their town but also the tyranny of the “cousins” who by sheer numbers alone, wield chaos-based control over the entire clan, the brunt of which is borne by Uncle Phat though Galen is tiring of it too, even if he doesn’t know it–yet. “Intellectuals in a sea of morons” is how Galen views it ten years later as narrator, recounting their trip that includes lessons in French history from Vincennes (Indiana) and Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Of course they have to make a stop at Mark Twain National Forest. After a foray in a casino bar on a boat in Shreveport, LA, they have a run-in with a bunch of gun-totin’ nature lovers on ATV’s in Louisiana. It could go horribly wrong but thankfully Galen gets a stomachache.
Their “irresponsible” behavior is buffered by the people they meet on the trip that despite their antics, see the better side, invite them in, befriend them. The point of the trip was what again? Oh yea, getting to Houston to look at that engine for Ruby except…All the while, they are badgered by the family to stay in touch so they can get yelled at, chastised some more, bashed for acting “irresponsible”. Starting with the first lie, the trip is predicated on more lies and when it ends, only one of them returns home to Indiana. Wow is now.

Virginia Arthur was born wild. She took to exploring the wilds of her new Ohio suburban jungle by the time she was ten, launching great birding expeditions in between backhoes and bulldozers. Her bird list grew shorter in direct correlation with the number of homes growing larger such that by the time she was 12, she was a raging environmentalist, before the word even existed. This delighted her parents to no end. She continued on this profoundly pointless and frustrating path by earning a B.S. in Field Biology and a M.S. in Botany (Ecology) only to continue the exploring, observing of a country at war with its natural self. She weaves these experiences into her novels. She has published three novels, all “comedic-drama”. Her first novel, Birdbrain, an eco-political fiction novel based on real life experiences, was published in 2014. Phat(‘s) Chance for Buddha in Houston (Or How I Spent My Summer Vacation), men’s coming-of-age short fiction, was published in 2015. In September 2018, she published her latest, Treed, also eco-political fiction. She is currently completing a book of eco-fiction short stories.

ONLINE MARKETING MILLIONAIRE: How to Make Money Online With Amazon FBA and the Amazon Affiliate Program by AJ O’Brien
About ONLINE MARKETING MILLIONAIRE: How to Make Money Online With Amazon FBA and the Amazon Affiliate Program by AJ O’Brien
FREE October 28
You only have thirty days! Tick, tick, tick.
That’s about how long it takes for most of us to run out of money after we get downsized, rightsized, laid off, pink-slipped, or otherwise let go from our jobs.
So what would you do?
Would you be able to replace your income? Would it be with yet another horrible job, or with something you really enjoy?
Hi. I’m AJ. Really nice to meet you. And thanks for checking out my book.
I won’t bore you with my “rags to riches” story.
But let me just tell you how I got from a not-so-good place financially to a really good one, and what’s in that story for you.
There really wasn’t a “rags” side to the story. I was never dirt poor. I was born in Ireland, grew up middle class in England, emigrated with my parents to the U.S. (Tampa, Florida to be exact) at age 14, and lived a pretty decent life. When I was 18, my parents had just enough money for me to take out huge student loans to go to college.
I got a nice degree, then an MBA, got lucky and landed a good job in Tampa, with an OK income.
OK, it wasn’t a good job. The work was mind-numbing and pointless, the environment was soul crushing, and my boss was a real “B” who hated me. But at least the rent and the student loans were getting paid.
Being single at that point, I spent a lot of my free time online (duh). But I was a little different than my peers – I was seriously looking for ways to make some money online, rather than just scrolling through social media.
I had enough money to take the free “courses” that people offer you before they try to sell you their expensive courses.
Turns out that if you listen carefully, they put some good stuff into those free “courses.” So I put my new training to work.
I started with Amazon®, selling “stuff.” What a blast – seriously – buying stuff cheap, marking it up, selling it online, running packages to the post office, and waiting for my profit. I enjoyed having that little business, but there wasn’t a lot of profit!
So I went back to the drawing board. I was having truckloads of goods shipped to my dad’s garage (he didn’t care much for that), spending all my free time sorting, labeling, and listing them, And then shipping the packages one by one as I made sales.
What was I missing? Countless people worldwide are making small (and large) fortunes selling on Amazon® FBA®. Why wasn’t I?
Well, it does turn out there are certain secrets you need to know (which I will try to share with you here).
Things like – how to know what to sell; knowing how to price it (so you can factor in all costs); how to compete without getting in a price race to the bottom; how to find a niche with just the right amount of competition; and on and on.
Ding! First FBA sale. Then second, then third. Then breakeven, then profit. And then scaling – lather, rinse, repeat!
With this and my information marketing business (see my other books), it wasn’t long before I was able to leave that dreadful job (well, courtesy of that “pink slip” I told you about – you know, downsizing and all). With no paycheck, I spent half my time marketing online, and the other half looking for another dreadful job. I had to race against the clock to see which one would replace my income.
Amazon sales and Internet Marketing won! That was four years ago. I’m making a boatload more than any of my would-be bosses are making today – and I don’t have to listen to their c__p!
These days my dad handles most of the Amazon® FBA® business as my partner. He loves it, and it gives me lots of opportunities to keep in touch with him. I write books and handle a lot of the information side of the business.
I hope you enjoy my story, and I hope you prosper from it as I have.
Please, just don’t remind my dad that his kid is also his boss! He prefers the term “partner.” lol
