Wild Years in West Berlin by Matthias Drawe
About Wild Years in West Berlin by Matthias Drawe:
A squatted house in West Berlin in the early 80s: the Wall City teems with people who want anything but a bourgeois life. One of them is Hucky, who hails from a quaint West German town and whose real name is Holger von Hachenstein. His background needs to remain top-secret, though, representing the opposite of what he chose to be: squatter, guitarist, and punk.
Together with his housemates, Falk, Pflaume and Kugelblitz, Hucky forms the band T.T. Embargo and barely stays afloat doing odd jobs. There’s crazy Lilli, whom he secretly desires, chubby Meike, with whom he occasionally shares a bed, and Kermit, an East German Rasta whose pride and joy is a huge, homemade bong.
Life in the squat is a constant 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.
And then, there’s ‘special needs’ Heiner wanting to move in, believing that the squatters practice free love.

About There Are No Men:
Divorced thirty-something Claire doesn’t know who’s in her dating pool—but she’s doing her best to avoid shark infested waters. Leaving her clueless and insensitive husband behind was a smart move after losing her fertility, but now she’s riding the wave of flying toupees, strange men in leather thongs and drunken nights in painfully impractical shoes. Claire desperately wanted to be a mother, but now she’ll settle for one middle aged man worthy of a second date.
After a long drought, men are flooding her shores and she’s drowning in choices. There’s Justin, the 25-year-old IT boy-genius with the GQ looks and cougar fetish, who won’t take ‘no’ for an answer. A woman would have to be a blind, lesbian nun not to fall for him, but he reminds Claire of her wasted youth. And then the charming but mysterious Dr. Nathan appears, but he’s cheating on her with his medical mistress—a demanding cardiology practice.
To further rock her boat, Claire’s ‘stable’ career in publishing has been tossed about by her floundering company’s launch of a new line of trendy, salacious books. Cookbooks aren’t selling these days, but erotica is flying off the shelves—and challenging Claire’s attitude about sex, work . . . and her tempestuous new life.
When her best friend convinces her to buddy up to the aspiring writer who just moved in across the street, Claire rejects the idea—he has already caught her in more than one embarrassing and scantily clad situation. Giving in to her friend’s nudging, she tries to ignore the details she discovers about him, including his hard rock night gig and his mesmerizing blue eyes, in the hopes his literary talents can pull her publishing house up from the bottom of the ocean.
Claire’s dilemma begs the question: Are there NO men or TOO MANY?

Author Bio:
My name is Carol, and I’m addicted to Romance.
I grew up in the Hudson Valley area of New York, surrounded by “city folk,” like my Manhattanite mom and Bronx-native Dad, who taught me to be sweet on the outside, yet tough on the inside.
As a result, I’m often gifted sassy labels like “firecracker” or “feisty,” which I choose to take as a compliment, due to my Irish/Eastern European heritage.
My romantic history is as real (and complicated) as that of the heroines in my novels. I’ve been divorced, relocated, plunged fearlessly into the turbulent waters of online dating–only to retreat, yelping, at the occasionally shocking climate before bravely renewing my efforts–until finally, I grabbed hold of happiness and refused to let go.
While I did eventually find my “HEA” in the form of a real life relationship, I also fell in love with writing, and it’s a romance I can’t get enough of.
That’s why I can’t help chasing after that thrill of first love, of never-ending passion, of self-discovery, of romance–even if that chase leads me to (and sometimes over) the edge.

About 672 by J.S.Lee:
The world of the future has split into two dividing factions. Civilization has changed in its meaning, and citizens now live in glass towers built to sustain life as would in the natural world. Society in 672 has also taken on a different form, with natural prodigies being the ones who inhabit the glass towers, they work upon the newest technologies and abide by their belief that intelligence is genetically based. The rest of the world populace is shunned, otherwise known as the “Piggies” whom have become targets of ridicule for the citizens.
Emilia finds her own destiny inexplicably intertwined within the world that has come to be, and upon discovering a dark truth-must make a heartbreaking decision that will either lead to her utter destruction, or salvation.
Readers who enjoy classic dystopian science fictions such as Brave New World, 1984, or The Giver may enjoy 672 as well.

About Rocket Man:
–San Antonio Express
“An exemplary novel dealing with the death of the American Dream.”
–Southern Review of Books
“”The funniest serious novel since Richard Russo’s Straight Man, rich with the epic levity of John Irving and salted with the perversion of Updike.””
– Chicago Sun Times
“”The rollicking story of a writer whose piece of the American Dream falls apart.”
Chicago Tribune
“The author has given us an incredible read about finding the American Dream. We have all wanted it and we have all gone about trying to get it in different ways. The book is very entertaining–you can’t seem to put it down. It is hilarious and serious. Rocket Man is a true story of a rebel.”
–ReaderViews.com
From the Author
Book Description
Rocket Man is a very funny and poignant comment on our times, when an upside down middle class is barely hanging onto the American dream. Taking cues from the calamity of The Great Recession, we meet Dale Hammer, a man who is determined to find meaning in a landscape of suburban homogeneity, looking for the moment he had with his own father when they blasted off a rocket on a wintery evening. He feels his son slipping away as he tries to get around “the silent shame of fathers and sons.” He becomes the Rocket Man for his sons scout troop and immediately his life implodes. Accused of cutting down the subdivision sign to his neighborhood, he becomes the lone rebel, going down in a flaming arc. When Rocket Day comes, Dale is determined to give his son more than his father gave him.
