Wild Hare by Laura Koerber  

About Featured Book: Wild Hare by Laura Koerber

Listed as one of the best indy books of 2019 by Kirkus Review: "The story manages to weave together a complex tapestry of themes, from climate change to poverty to what qualifies as morality in a world that’s facing catastrophe. The prose is clear and concise throughout, giving readers a sense of each scene and character through the protagonist’s eyes.
A wrenching, complex novel that any fantasy fan would do well to pick up."
In the year 2032, the US is a one party kleptocracy and the forests are on fire from climate change. Bobby Fallon, half human and half nature spirit of the wild hare clan, fights to protect his little part of the North Woods in Wisconsin.
" Wild Hare is a fast paced work of apocalyptic and dystopian fiction penned by author Laura Koerber. Combining such varied concepts as fantasy and magic with climate change and political domination is no mean feat, but the plot of this adventurous tale does just that," Readers' Favorites

I Saw a Porn that Started that Way, Ridiculous Stories of a Real-life Cable Guy by E.C. Douglas  

About I Saw a Porn that Started that Way, Ridiculous Stories of a Real-life Cable Guy by E.C. Douglas

Have you ever wondered what people are really like behind closed doors?

We all have a strange fascination about our neighbors that we like to share and gossip about.

Like the seemingly perfect couple down the street who probably have some kinky tastes.

Or the quiet old bachelor on the fifth floor who you swear is secretly a former Soviet spy.

Oftentimes, we have no way of knowing who these people really are, but sometimes, somebody gets an opportunity to peek behind the curtain…

Technicians, delivery guys, cleaners and similar in-home service workers are regularly welcomed into people’s homes…and then left on their own, free to snoop and observe.

People can reveal their true selves when they think no one’s watching, or in this case, forget that someone’s watching!

This results in some absurd but entertaining tales that give us a deeper insight into who people really are.

Luckily for you, one cable guy has decided to compile his experiences from a decades-long career into this amusing and intriguing memoir.

In I Saw a Porn that Started that Way, you will find:

22 unbelievable true-to-life stories that will leave your mouth hanging open and your mind blown
The crazy comments from nutty clients that will have you rolling your eyes with disgust
Tantalizing revelations guaranteed to leave you hot and bothered…and wanting more
The curious case of the customer with an unexpected collection, which had the cable guy running out of his house
Awkward encounters that will make you so grateful you’re not a cable guy
A riveting recollection about the ominous day he came face to face with the Russian mafia, and lived to tell the tale
Hilarious anecdotes about the weirdos, perverts and hoarders one encounters on a typical workday

And much more.

This is not your usual inspirational memoir. It is so much better. This is a collection of stories you never thought you needed to know.

Satisfy your curiosity about those people you only get to watch from afar. Imagine being a fly on the wall during these ludicrous situations. See the hidden world of other people’s homes through the eyes of one observant cable guy.

And maybe next time, you’ll be more mindful of your actions and surroundings when you let someone into your home.

Immortal Obsession  

About Immortal Obsession

When the last descendant of a French-Revolution era vampire and his mortal aristocratic lover witnesses her brother’s savage murder in New York City’s Central Park – and narrowly escapes her own demise – an ethereal stranger begins to draw her even deeper into a previously unimaginable world.

In this gripping paranormal romance, the beautiful, young Amanda Perretti, a promising museum curator, becomes entangled with a group of French vampires who carry their eighteenth century grudges into twenty-first century New York. Desperate to find the stranger who saves her life that fateful night, Amanda pursues her brother’s killer from the halls of the Metropolitan Museum of Art to the Goth clubs of the East Village. After meeting the heroic vampire who intervened on her behalf, Amanda becomes increasingly torn between the wish to preserve her cherished career and her safe, “normal” life and her growing desire for the handsome, alluring vampire Christian Du Mauré. Ultimately, Amanda finds herself falling deeper into the dangerous realm of immortals, as not one but two vampires vie for her love.

Full of intrigue and suspense, yet grounded in artfully drawn characters and settings, this historical love story follows the journey of the mortal yet courageous Amanda as she discovers far more about herself than she ever dreamed possible.

Without Warning  

About Without Warning

JAKE HUNT has finished with war, but when he travels to Brunei a routine assignment is fragmented.
Terrorists attack the sultanate seeking power and revenge.
Working alongside Jake, Nicole Roswell realises that the thoughtful man she knows is also an incorrigible risk taker, whose actions challenge her ideas of right and wrong. As the terrorists escalate their violent campaign, those involved must act to protect themselves and the ones they love.

It is no surprise that action and adventure stories are on the rise. Thrill seekers who are looking for an emotional release during self-isolation are getting their adrenaline rush from non-stop action books.
According to psychological studies around the world, there are many benefits of reading fiction. While healthy escapism and short term excitement are noted, the most impressive psychological finding, according to Jonathan Gottschall from The Boston Globe is how fiction mainly shapes us for the better by elevating our ability to understand other people.
In Jed Hart’s new release, Without Warning, the author draws us together with common values throughout the narrative. Culture, religion, and creed are expressed through differing viewpoints; characters who wrestle with moral challenges of our times. Without Warning, the first book in The Jake Hunt Series, exerts a magnetic force that pulls you into the characters’ minds and their diverse worlds.
Using his own experiences in active war and terrorist situations, Jed Hart has unleashed a fictional story that oozes guns ‘n’ gusto action, and centres on terrorism, betrayal and brutal conflict. Reflecting on his experiences, Hart stated, “It was quite easy to write a story that revolves around a Vietnam Vet and the issues that he would have to face after seeing so much violence and chaos in war zones.”
Jed Hart flew choppers with the US Army in the Mekong Delta during the Vietnam War, operated helicopters to mountains in New Guinea, spent a stint as Shell’s Peru-based Security Manager and worked in Brunei and London.
Hart said: “For me, writing the book has been cathartic. A lot of the journey that Jake Hunt takes, my comrades in arms and I have travelled. Some of my friends are men who became hardened by combat and have never been entirely comfortable in a peacetime world.
“People react in different ways in such circumstances, some calmly and philosophically and others with violence and chaos. I have tried to capture those things in this book.”
In his explosive story―where nobody is safe―Jed Hart demonstrates how love, loyalty and a sense of duty can drive a person to commit unimaginable acts of the cruellest kind. Posing the question: How far would you go to protect the ones you love?
This high-powered tale follows Australian protagonist, Jake Hunt, a good looking, witty, straight shooting guy who works as an aviation adviser to a global oil company. Jake has finished with war until terrorists kidnap his boss’ wife, and a routine work assignment fragments. In the backdrop, a love story develops between Jake Hunt and his co-worker, Nicole Roswell. But her ideas of right and wrong are tested to the limit when she realises that her charming and thoughtful man is an incorrigible risk taker.
When Jake reverts to his military training, the trauma of his wartime experience returns. Then all hell breaks loose when the terrorists attack the sultanate seeking power and revenge, and those involved must act to protect themselves and the ones they love.
Without Warning was published by Feather Knight Books, a new Australian publishing company based in Gippsland Victoria. To buy a copy of Without Warning visit www.featherknightbooks.com Global distribution for booksellers is also available on the Feather Knight Books site.

About Faker

Marley:
“For the right fee, I’ll pretend to be almost anyone,
And there is never a shortage of clients who clamor for my services.
But behind my confident exterior, I worry about getting called out,
And then I do—and by the richest, handsomest, slickest alpha in all of Chicago.”

Fletcher:
“She sank my sale with a smile, some cleavage, and a bat of her lush long lashes.
My anger was eclipsed only by my obsession with her,
And then the perfect plan presented itself to me.
I seized the day and I’ll get the girl.”

Tropic of Wonder  

About Tropic of Wonder

This episodic, semi-autobiographical novel starts out with Claudio being taken on a long ride by his angry mother into a rural area, unsure if he is going to still be alive by the end of the trip. Next we find Claudio with his father in Atlantic City, where a violent altercation takes place. There is a brief poetic illustration on the night, and being raised by it. Following this, there is an encounter with death through a sudden illness. His mother remarries, and his stepfather calls him names relentlessly. Claudio grows up to lose his first faith.

A bout of depression occurs, and two extremely humiliating events that ended young relationships are detailed. A house burns down in the neighborhood, and Claudio discovers that a drunk man who recently attacked him on the street owned the house. He then tries heroin and essays on his newfound atheism. But Claudio continues to make mistakes, as he finds himself in a romantic relationship that turns violent and ends with a near-murder.

Constantine then goes on two dates, both equally absurd and unbelievable, one with a witch, and another with a loose, but intelligent woman. We are quickly introduced to a conspiracy that happened in middle school that led to an expulsion. The following year a comedic but false accusation finally seals his scholastic life. Claudio’s father goes to jail, and Claudio is sent to bail him out, when he uncovers a large stash of money that his father had been hiding from everybody.

There is a brief chapter about being on the road with his father on Sundays, and their trips down to the Jersey Shore. Claudio tries dust, and experiences a mind-blowing revelation. There is a short section about Broadway, Bayonne and growing up in that small city. Then, in his early 20’s anxiety attacks begin, and Claudio has to find a way to live with them or vanquish them. We then spin back to Andrew, a childhood friend, and we learn that Andrew is hiding a dark secret. The outing of this secret finds Claudio’s mother at the police station twice, which leads to her making a decision that would affect all of their lives forever.

Claudio falls in love with a book, and begins to write with a passion. Two humiliating acts of cowardice are given to us from his youth. Then there is a hilarious section about Constantine being fired from the same job three times. Afterward, our hero finds himself twitching from one career choice to another, being unable to settle on any of them. However, a coworker announces a secret yearning for Claudio, and he is let go from another job for sharing too much information with the manager. This is when our protagonist loses his confidence in ever becoming a writer, and instead utilizes it, subconsciously, as a kind of scam, so as to not to join the rat race.

We snap back to Mia, his first love, his first date with her, which devolved into tragicomedy, and how she almost had him shot and killed. Claudio then tells about how he was forced by his stepfather to attend Hebrew School and have a Bar Mitzvah.

The last section, the meat of the book, we find Claudio lashing out, thinking he is alone, but discovering that someone hears his every word. We are introduced to Maria, his lesbian, immigrant wife, and insanity prevails. A wild highway scene is discussed, an extortion follows, followed by an inevitable disappearance. All of this culminates in a life-changing epiphany that Claudio has about love, and his past failures in all of his relationships, while attending a funeral.

The novel terminates with a heroic save, and a decisive acceptance of his spotty past.

Interspersed throughout are brief but prosaic monologues on existence, anxiety, faith, death, music, abuse and redemption.
