Author Bio:
John Ellsworth was a practicing attorney who defended white collar crimes and criminal investigations and prosecutions by the federal government. Tax crimes were a specialty and John appeared in court on these cases and in the audit pre-indictment stages nationwide. For many years John defended criminal cases of the usual flavor too, from shoplifting to first degree murder. He has been lead counsel on death penalty cases and has never lost a client to the execution chamber.

Today John believes in self-publication. “I wrote a script for a Hollywood movie and it bounced around the studios for three years while other people talked and discussed and opined. After three years there was still no movie, so I decided to start writing nothing but novels and to self-publish so there would be no middlemen between my writing and my readers.” The first book, a legal thriller titled The Defendants was first up to the plate. Now John has published five more legal thrillers:

1. The Defendants

2. Beyond a Reasonable Death

3. Attorney at Large

4. Chase, the Bad Baby

5. Defending Turquoise

6. The Mental Case

John lives in Arizona with his wife Deb, their seven guinea pigs and two dogs. When not pounding the laptop, John can found writing songs on his Macbook’s Garageband. He plays guitar and makes up the rest of it. So far no one’s offered a recording contract but hey, the day is young.

WILDE JAHRE IN WEST-BERLIN (German Edition)  

About WILDE JAHRE IN WEST-BERLIN (German Edition):

We are in a squatted house in West Berlin in the early 80s. Every day is a battle against the elements.

Sometimes it’s the cops looking for drugs, sometimes it’s a bunch of skinheads smashing windows, or it’s Gerlinde Steinmöller again, the lovely neighbor from across the street.

Fortunately, the squatters almost always find a way to outsmart their enemies. Only “special needs” Heiner is a tough nut to crack since he just won’t let go …

The Heart Thief  

About The Heart Thief:

Ezra Keene is an artistic sixteen-year-old who wants nothing more than to settle in at his new school and put the tragedy of his brother’s death behind him. He awakens one night, reeling from a hazy dream, to find his fingers blackened with pencil lead and a new drawing in his sketchbook—a drawing that depicts the grisly murder of someone he knows. The next morning he is shocked to learn the picture has become a reality.

Ezra has reason to believe the father of a classmate, an eccentric German scientist, is somehow involved in the slaying, but he needs something tangible to bring to the police. He sets out to discover the truth, but what he finds instead is that something much more sinister than murder lies at the heart of this mystery. Monsters exist, magic is real, and sometimes there are worse things than death.

Naughty Little Wishes  

About Naughty Little Wishes:

Opposites attract. Enemies ignite…

There’s nothing personal stylist Tabitha Drake loves more than pissing off Andrew Bode. He’s uptight, he refuses to agree with her on anything, and she loathes the hideous brown suits and red power ties he wears. The man even hates ice cream. How can her best friend work for a man who hates ice cream? But the absolute worst thing about Drew? He’s sexy as hell, and she’s totally and ridiculously attracted to him.

Andrew Bode, CEO of the Bode-Wynn military contracting firm, is convinced he and Tab will never get along. Unfortunately, the infuriating—and sinfully tempting—stylist is his ticket to a major account. The only way to get what he wants is to agree to Tab’s terms: a style makeover. However, Drew has a few terms of his own, most of which involve her naked in his bed. But neither of them are prepared when their lust-fueled hostility turns into something altogether unexpected…

Author Bio:
Nina Crespo lives in Florida where she indulges in her favorite passions—the beach, kickboxing, a good glass of wine with her own real-life hero, and dancing. Her lifelong addiction to romance began in her teens while on a “borrowing spree” in her older sister’s bedroom where she discovered her first romance novel. Curiosity about people and places, including what’s beyond the stars, fuels her writer’s imagination. This wellspring of inspiration allows Nina to create sensual contemporary stories and steamy paranormal tales, which she hopes will feed your own addiction for love, romance, and happily ever after.

Her debut novella, TAKE ME IF YOU DARE, was released in June 2014 by Entangled Publishing and is a finalist in the BTS Red Carpet Book Awards. The sequel, NAUGHTY LITTLE WISHES, is scheduled for release in January 2015. Her debut romance, fantasy novella, THANE’S REDEMPTION, is also scheduled for release in March 2015.

Imogene in New Orleans  

About Imogene in New Orleans:

Imogene Deal McGregor has lived nearly three-quarters of a century in Alabama. She has a penchant for following her own instincts, as well as more grit and spunk than her hypochondriac son, Billy McGregor, and Billy’s impulsive partner Jackson can handle. The boys take Imogene to New Orleans with their devilishly handsome English bulldog Goose, hoping to visit friends and attend a second line parade, but moments after arriving in the French Quarter, they find their friend Glenway Gilbert murdered in his art gallery.

Immediately, Imogene and the boys run into a temperamental and ethically-challenged lieutenant who appears hell-bent on neglecting the crime, compelling them to seek answers themselves. As they delve into Glenway Gilbert’s murder, Imogene and the boys realize the deceased artist was surrounded by suspicious friends and lovers. With Goose the bulldog by their side, Jackson and Billy seek answers among old friends and new enemies, while Imogene follows her own ideas on the case. But the sooner they solve the murder, the sooner they can get back to catching beads and eating pralines.

Author Bio:
I have been writing since I was 5 years old, as surprising as that is. I have always had a great love of things strange and different. Daughter of the Light is my first published novel and the first in a series I have been working on in some form or another since I was 13 years old. While the characters races, languages, and locations have changed over the years the characters are who they are.

Outside of writing, I love reading, playing video games, spending time with my family, watching TV, listening to music, and creating beautiful and new things.

“God gifts you, he places you, and he gives passion about things. A light is not meant to be hidden. So shine clear and bright friend.

It is after all, about people and not winning your point. I really appreciate that about you and your example is continuing to encourage me to do the same. Thanks! God please, some day I would love to play some music and even worship with you. Not sure how that would ever happen in this life, but it would be fun.

The Hannelack Fanny, Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love My Rump by Lori Schafer  

About The Hannelack Fanny, Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love My Rump by Lori Schafer:

Funny, erotic short story (contains adult content).

Excerpt:

One weekend a few months following my glorious ass-awakening, John and I went on a road trip. I’d leaned over sideways and lifted my skirt up over my hips so that he could rest his hand on my ass while he was driving. Sunshine was streaming through the open sunroof and my butt felt warm in spite of its near-nakedness. How I relished that sensation now!

Suddenly a truck horn sounded.

“Hey!” I heard a man yell. “Hey, wide load!”

A year before, I would have been mortified. Not anymore.

I turned to look. A semi was travelling beside us. The man in the passenger seat was staring at my bared ass. The driver was leaning over, trying to get a look.

“Like what you see, boys?” I yelled back, jerking my body in my seat to set my rump to rippling.

“WOOOO-EEEE! Shake that ass, mama!”

In that moment, something possessed me. It was as if the beast that had so long been bolted to my bottom had finally broken free of its cage. It wanted out. All the way out.

I unhooked my seatbelt and jumped up on my seat. With effort I wriggled my way through the open sunroof, ass and all. And then I wiggled out of my panties, lifted up my skirt, and showed myself to the world. Every last wobbling inch of me.

“Look at my ass!” I yelled, slapping it hard with my palm. “Look at my ass!”

I was bouncing, jumping up and down in place, and my ass, behemoth that it was, was bouncing, too, the fat landing on the warm roof of the car and then retreating back up to my waist in happy rhythm while I pointed and laughed.

“Look at my ass!”
