They had no idea how much their lives would change…forever.

Imani Karunzika is fiercely independent and refuses to be forced into a loveless marriage with the domineering man her parents want for her.

Author Bio:
Cap Daniels is a sailing charter captain, scuba and sailing instructor, pilot, Air Force veteran, and civil servant of the U.S. Department of Defense. Raised far from the ocean in rural East Tennessee, his early infatuation with salt water was sparked by the fascinating, and sometimes true, sea stories told by his father, a retired Navy chief petty officer. Those stories of adventure on the high seas sent Cap in search of adventure of his own, which eventually landed him on Florida’s Gulf Coast where he and his wife Melissa own and operate a sailing charter service and spend as much time as possible on, in, and under the waters of the Emerald Coast.

With a head full of larger-than-life characters and their thrilling exploits, Cap pours his love of adventure and passion for the ocean onto the pages of his new action adventure series, The Chase Fulton Novels.

Inspired by the likes of John D. Macdonald’s Travis McGee, Randy Wayne White’s Doc Ford, and Wayne Stinnett’s Jesse McDermitt, Cap creates thrilling tales of action and adventure set throughout the Caribbean and coastal Florida and Georgia by intertwining nautical adventure with international espionage. Cap’s Chase Fulton Novels series promises to keep readers on the edge of their seats, trying to guess what new danger or adventure lies just around the corner.

Needed: Community Girlfriend for (4) Army Ranger Specialists at incredible lakehouse estate. Wife material. Long term only.

The ad was ridiculous. Beyond ridiculous! Yet for Sammara Madsen, bored in life and unlucky in love? The concept made her stomach do a sexy barrel roll.

After a chance encounter with a gorgeous soldier reveals the opportunity of a lifetime, Sammara goes along out of simple curiosity.

And the four brothers-in-arms have a puzzling secret all their own… one that could easily put them – and their eager new girlfriend – in mortal danger.

Four Army Rangers… sharing the same woman, mind, body, and soul. The ultimate fantasy becomes heart-pounding reality as Sammara is taken into each of their beds – and hearts – one by one, two on one… and more.

Can Sammara succeed in fulfilling her role to each of her beautiful new boyfriends; that of friend, lover, and so much more? Or will sinister unknown forces crush their budding 5-way relationship before it can even begin?

About The Relatively Series Box Set

Three full-length award-winning romcoms!

Author Bio:
Whitney Dineen is a rock star in her own head. While delusional about her singing abilities, there’s been a plethora of validation that she’s a fairly decent author (AMAZING!!!). After many writing awards and selling nearly a kabillion books (math may not be her forte, either), she’s decided to just let the voices in her head say whatever they want (sorry, Mom). She also won a fourth-place ribbon in a fifth-grade swim meet in backstroke. So, there’s that.

Whitney loves to play with her kids (a.k.a. dazzle them with her amazing flossing abilities), bake stuff, eat stuff, and write books for people who "get" her. She thinks french fries are the perfect food and Mrs. Roper is her spirit animal.



How to Commit Suicide by D. A. Smith  

About How to Commit Suicide by D. A. Smith

How to Commit Suicide is the intertwined stories of Sarah Richardson, a Governor’s daughter, born to privilege, and Maurice Jones, a bright, sensitive 12-year-old born to a single mother on Chicago’s South Side.

Once, Sarah tried to kill herself. Fortunately, she failed. She’s recovered well since then, even falling in love and getting engaged to Ben. However, since her suicide attempt everyone in her life has been on eggshells around her, fearful of triggering another “episode.”

Everyone that is, except best friend Catherine, who just wishes Sarah could find her way back to being the joyful, confident woman she remembers. It’s not so much about Sarah seems depressed, rather Catherine remembers Sarah being far more confident, more comfortable with herself. Catherine recommends a new, popular self-help book by hit author Gale Anderson: How to Commit Suicide.

As Anderson explains on the nationally syndicated Harpo Strongly Show, How to Commit Suicide is a book meant for those who were or are considering suicide. It was inspired by a dream she had in which she confronted a friend who committed suicide fifteen years prior, and whom she had never forgiven until then.

“If you had wanted to commit suicide,” she told him, “then why didn’t you just create a new life and kill off the person you used to be, or your past; like they do in spy movies…you know, create a new persona.”

Anderson’s argument is that if your life seems unbearable, the best way to “end it” is to reinvent yourself, and Suicide has concrete steps anyone could take to start building a new, hopeful life.

Maurice lives with his mother Janell and little brother, Jermaine. Life in their neighborhood is tough—just going to school can be dangerous. All his mother can “advise” is to be tough. Be tougher than anybody else. Somebody gets in your face, make them back off; anyone hits you, hit them back.

One day, coming home from school, Maurice and his brother are jumped by a neighborhood bully. Taking his mother’s advice, he goes on the offense, shoving the thug out of the way so they could escape.

The next day, the thug is waiting with a baseball bat. Maurice survives. Jermaine does not. Maurice’s mother holds him personally responsible for his brother’s death. He wasn’t tough enough.

Maurice comes to realize if he doesn’t do something drastic—if he doesn’t get out of that house, away from those streets, he will die. He realizes he must take his life, his future into his own hands to survive. Carefully he makes his plans, weighing the danger of staying home versus the dangers he may face alone on the streets. He concludes he’ll be safer on the streets. So Maurice ends his life as Janell’s son, as a future victim of the ‘Hood, to begin new life on his own terms.

Both Sarah and Maurice discover that the only path forward is to end their lives as they live them now—commit “suicide” in Anderson’s terms. How to Commit Suicide follows Sarah and Maurice as they seek to put their past lives to rest as they build new and brighter ones, but not without challenge, heartbreak—or tragedy.

Author Bio:
I grew up in Hammond, Indiana with my mother and 15 siblings. My mother was my greatest influence growing up, with her wisest motto being, “It doesn’t matter how you treat me; it matters how I treat you.” My relationship with her and my childhood heroes—people like Dr. Martin Luther King, James Brown, Muhammad Ali, and even Michael Jackson—taught me to keep going long after others would have given up. In between “regular jobs,” I made a career as a musical and performing artist. I made two releases with my old band, Lucky Dogg.

I got into publishing, funny enough, by helping friends and family through school! Over the years I picked up many time-tested techniques to help myself learn; with that and some helpful advice from my own experiences, I helped several of my nieces and nephews through school. That advice and wisdom became That’s Smart! How to Improve Learning Habits, which I first released in 2010 to critical praise.

To get the best publishing deal and maximum creative freedom, I founded Lions Quarter Publishing that same year to release That’s Smart!, now in its expanded second edition and my other titles, like The 9/11 Project, Black on Black, and my current novel, How to Commit Suicide.

My latest work is inspired by and dedicated to three good friends I lost to suicide. Their loss left a painful wound in me—it took a long time to forgive them for leaving like they did. This “self-help book in the form of a novel” is my way to reach out to others contemplating taking their own lives, and the people that love them—there always are people that love them!—with concrete steps and an inspiring story to turn a life that seems hopeless into one that’s great!

I’m working on bringing The 9/11 Project to the stage as a dramatic play. Originally, it was meant to be a musical, and I still want to re-release it as one; several works based on music and lyrics I wrote for the Project are in the works.

Black on Black came from my feelings of anger and frustration with violent crime—but more with Americans’ increasingly blasé attitude towards it, like when a co-worker commented: “Man was meant to kill.” I strongly disagree, and Black on Black is my counter-argument.

I’ve got several more projects in the works. For more information, you can email me at dasmith@lionsquarter.com or write me at

YuFu’s Firesnake  

About YuFu’s Firesnake

YuFu fishes diamonds from a gas giant and wants to retire peacefully with his wife and children.

But when his vessel gets hijacked by space pirates, all his dreams evaporate.

Desperate to protect his employer’s secret, he wipes his memory and believes fake recollections of a criminal named YuFang.

He winds up, held against his will by a mafia on another planet. After discovering cyberweaponry built into his body, he commits atrocities under the false belief that he’s a villain and killer.

A mysterious red-haired woman rescues him from certain death and reveals a secret method of astral projection, shape-shifting, and instantaneous space travel.

Will he use it for his selfish ends? Or will he remember who he once was and repay for his wrongdoings?

********

75% of this cyberpunk tale is pre-published material from YuFu/YuFang’s point of view (POV) across the complete five-book Plan8 Slaves Series. However, this concluded standalone only covers 8% of that series (which has multiple POV characters and storylines.)

Rayner extracted YuFu/YuFang’s POV scenes from the series and added 25% new material to this standalone single POV novella because some readers do not like too many stories from too many characters going on at once.

If you read this and feel intrigued about what happens behind the scenes with other characters, you can read the complete Plan8 Slaves Series.
