About Five Minutes Late:

Can an always-tardy garlic mogul and a punctual Silicon Valley librarian fall in love?

The world needs garlic and somebody’s got to sell that garlic. Cedric Johnson is that man. But even though he’s got just about everything he can wish for, Cedric is still missing one thing in his life: someone special. Fate may be on his side, but he encounters a few distractions along the way—like almost being killed by a UPS truck. Oh, and a little case of blackmail.

Ellie Fontaine is a walking Wikipedia with clear professional goals, but when it comes to landing Mr. Right, she doesn’t know jack squat. She gives online dating a shot, but ends up with an unappetizing buffet of unibrows and losers. What’s a girl to do?

After Ellie saves Cedric’s life, serendipity takes over as they continue to run into each other. Their connection grows stronger with each meeting, even though he embodies her number one pet peeve: he’s always late. But even if they can get past their issues and misunderstandings, Ellie’s ex-boyfriend, an unscrupulous cop, will do anything to keep them apart.

FIVE MINUTES LATE is a hilarious fast-paced romantic comedy, full of snappy dialogue and fun, quirky characters, guaranteed to warm your heart.

About Harry’s War by Ed Benjamin:

Harry’s War describes how fighter pilot warriors think, and the challenges they face when they return to earth. The book treats war in both its literal and metaphorical sense. It explores an air battle that takes place over Iraq along the Iraq-Iranian border. Soon, the reader finds Harry in the middle of a crazy dogfight with four Iranian Su-27 Flanker fighter planes over Iraqi skies. Harry is flying an F-15, the inferior craft, but he’s the superior pilot. The air combat “dogfight” scene entertains you better than any other novel. Then, the story morphs seamlessly into a new scene, a second war unfolds, one equally as hard as the one Harry fought in the skies. Raw emotion is now on the table as Harry has to deal with demons from his past and fight for his survival in a new and very different future. This is not a Top Gun BS story. This is the REAL DEAL. Harry’s War is a must read.

Author Bio:
As a retired physician I’m devoting my time to writing novels, memoir-based fiction and short stories. My life as an author of fiction began in 2003 after a few years at Toastmasters International delivering captivating stories and speeches. I believe literature should be educational, fun, serious, full of feelings and always with a touch of fantasy and a thread of truth. Like all my novels true lifetime situations are interwoven with suspenseful and intriguing storylines. My 11 novels and short story book bear that philosophy out. Reviews of my books in Amazon.com have been 4.5-5-star. I wrote THE ADJUSTMENT CLINIC in retirement because I was too afraid to expose what was happening in major drug companies when I was working there.
I live with my wife in San Antonio near my daughter and her family with four of my grandchildren. My goal as an author is to publish several novels a year. My latest effort is my heroin smuggling thriller, THE HAPPY HAT, published March 3, 2015.

About Taking the Cross by Charles Gibson:

In the Middle Ages not all Crusades were fought in the Holy Land.

Taking the Cross is a historical novel by Charles Gibson about the little-known Crusade launched by the Roman Catholic Church against fellow Christians in France, a time of great religious turmoil and conflict.

A two-pronged threat to the Catholic Church was growing within Christendom itself and Pope Innocent III called for the Crusade against heresy to eliminate movements that did not adhere to Church orthodoxy.

Andreas, a knight who longs to go on Crusade to the Holy Land, finds himself fighting against one in his French homeland of the Languedoc, the most free region in Medieval Europe. While Andreas wages war for the lives and religious freedom of his people, a battle rages within his soul.

Eva, a young woman of Provence and of a new religious order, the Beguines, discovers a secret. It is a message hidden within a letter about the death of her father in the Holy Land. As she learns more of her father, she is forced to confront the profound and perilous spiritual inheritance he has bequeathed to her. A legacy for which she must fight.

Hearing of the feats of Andreas, Eva senses her inheritance may lead her to him.

They both face an evil that threatens to consume them.

Filled with battles of the flesh and the spirit, Taking the Cross reveals a passionate aspect of Medieval times where some fought ardently for the freedom of others.

Charles first started reading about history and geography when he was seven. He wrote his first short story at the age of nine. He continues to read and write whenever he can.

It is not uncommon to find him pulling off the road into a park or parking lot to record some sublime thought related to character or plot (or try to write down his to-do list) before it slips into oblivion.

Charles has spent many years researching the Middle Ages and the Crusades, and has traveled to the Languedoc region in France.

He has combined the passions of history and geography and prose to finish his first novel, Taking the Cross. It takes place during the summer of 1209 in France.

Charles Gibson has previously written for the inspirational book series God Allows U-Turns as well as for a Twin Cities newspaper. In his spare time (i.e. his day job), he works as a project manager for a medical device company. He also loves travel writing, and would like to start his own magazine some day about travel as a journey through life.

The dominant theme of his writing is freedom: “It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.”

He lives in Minnesota with his lovely wife and energetic sons. He enjoys spending time with his family, traveling, reading lots of books, camping, and serving at church.

About Roadmaps for the Sexually Challenged [All’s Not Fair in Love or War] by Marlan Warren:

“Roadmaps for the Sexually Challenged: All’s Not Fair in Love or War” is a humorous, steamy novel set in the mid-90s with the O.J. trial in the background and plenty of L.A. vibe. It follows the hot romance of Carrie Walker–a divorcing Jewish American woman–with a Japanese American man who bears the scars suffered by his family during World War II. “You still have the band-aids on,” he tells her, referring to her not-yet-divorce from her husband of 10 years (a narcissistic Russian filmmaker).

Carrie’s women friends—former classmates from USC Film School—cheer from the sidelines, but also struggle with their own hard-won beliefs about love and sex. One, now a stripper, tells her: “The mind cannot process sex.” And another warns: “Do not go unconscious for love.”

It’s a journey through a landscape of communal living, mixed race dating, healing and Hope.
