About Savage Summer:

“When life gives you lemons … be sure to spit the pits out of that lemonade you’re making. Otherwise you’ll choke.” – Curt Savage

The past year has not been a good one for Curt Savage. Depressed over the death of a loved one, he’s gone into hiding, becoming entirely too comfortable with saying that he’s in the Witness Protection Program. But the urge to find that elusive killer puts his MIA status on hold. With the help of his new buddy Mike, he delves into the murky world of tracking down a killer — and uncovering who poisoned a neighbor’s dog.

SAVAGE SUMMER is the first in the Curt Savage mystery series. Going from former cop to private dick, he represents a new kind of detective–the reluctant kind. As his best bud Mike puts it, “Private investigation just got Savage.”

Author Bio:
Born in the idyllic, sleepy town of Ithaca, NY, Ruth Bainbridge has been a lover of mysteries for her entire life. Ever since a child, she has consumed detective stories at regular intervals, becoming enamored with all the superstars of crime. She loved nothing more than to match wits with the likes of Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple, Thomas Pitt, Lord Peter Wimsey, Richard Jury and Edward X Delaney, becoming inspired by their brilliance. Hoping to emulate her writing idol’s achievements in dreaming up such characters, she started composing her own short stories. However, life interfered with her plans of becoming the next hopeful to try a life of crime—on paper at least. Devoting herself to her marriage and the raising of four children, the empty nest syndrome gave her the impetus to return to her first love—murder.

About The Death of Torberta Turchin:

Torberta Turchin, or Torby for short, is a 14-year-old girl who has spoken to the dead ever since she can remember. After her parents’ death in a tragic car accident when she was very young, her relatives sent her to St. Christopher’s boarding school for the mentally ill, where she lives a relatively normal and happy life. Short of some demanding and needy ghosts, Torby has never been much bothered by the voices, especially because her best friend, a musician named Charlie who died in the 1930s, is among them.

When she becomes the target of strange events at the school though, she needs Charlie’s help, and the help of a new boy who not only can hear Charlie… he can see him. Together they must figure out who is behind the attacks, before it’s too late, for Torby and for her classmates.

Will she survive to another year? …or will she join Charlie on the plane of the dead?

About The FemDom Nurse by Mistress Benay:

Mistress Benay once again takes us into her Dungeon in her latest installment of her “Domination Sessions From My Dungeon” Series. Hold on to your Medical Gown and watch out if you bend over, because you are about to meet The FemDom Nurse. In this exciting story, Mistress Benay recounts for us a Session She did with a new client who requested that She do a Medical Scenario with him when he came to visit her Dungeon. In a writing style which has become so popular with our readers, and with Her usual “Spare No Detail” descriptions, Mistress Benay recounts for us the physical examination and treatment the client received at the hands of Nurse Benay. You can be sure that when the patient sat on her examination table, things quickly took a turn in a direction different than he ever could have imagined. Mistress Benay describes in detail the unconventional Medical Tests and the unique equipment She used as part of the physical examination conducted on the patient. Her client may have been a willing patient when he walked into her Dungeon at the beginning, but after a few very intensive and unusual tests conducted by Nurse Benay, his only thoughts soon began to center on how to escape her Medical Clinic. Unfortunately for him, it was then too late as he quickly found out that the Nurse’s treatment plan was even much worse than her test procedures. After visiting the Mistress’s clinic, this patient knew he was going to have to do a lot of explaining to his wife when he got home. Readers should be aware that this Story contains graphic details of Female Domination, Discipline, Bondage, Nipple Torture, Body Worship, High Heel Worship, and Male Chastity. You do not want to enter Nurse Benay’s Medical Clinic if you are outfitted with a Pace Maker!

About Only The Longest Threads by Tasneem Zehra Husain:

July 2012. When the decades long search for the Higgs Boson comes to a triumphant end, Leo, a science writer, and Sara, an aspiring string theorist, are among the jubilant crowd at CERN. As they discuss this historic event and the emotions it evokes, Leo suddenly experiences a moment of clarity – he realizes the true experience of science can never be communicated by words which fail to reflect the passion of the endeavor.

Encouraged by Sara, he makes it his goal to write a reimagined history of physics; one that captures the excitement and essence of moments that changed, forever, our perception of the universe. Over the next few months, Leo crawls into the minds of scientists who lived through these pivotal points in history, immersing himself in the intellectual confusion and the emotional struggles that accompany revolutions of thought. And then, he begins writing.

Each chapter in Leo’s book gives voice to a science enthusiast struggling with a radical new theory. A young boy in the English countryside is enthralled and inspired by Newton’s Principia; a university student at Cambridge ponders the power and poetry of Maxwell’s electro-magnetism; a reticent school teacher reflects upon Relativity as he waits among the throngs at Battery Park to welcome his idol, Einstein, to New York; a post-doctoral researcher at Bohr’s institute in Copenhagen tries to reshape his mind to accommodate quantum mechanics; a Pakistani professor, in Trieste for a conference, drifts into a reverie of particle physics and symmetry; after attending the Nobel Lectures in Stockholm, a young professional loses herself in thoughts of quantum field theory, while she re-evaluates her own relationship with the subject.

Leo discusses his manuscript in progress with Sara, and convinces her to write the chapter on string theory. As they relive centuries worth of discovery, their shared joy in the journey becomes a bond between the two.

About MAYDAY:

13 seconds. 67 shots fired. 4 dead. 9 wounded. And the killers went free. It was May 4, 1970.

Fast-Forward 40 years. Former Ohio National Guard members and other 60-something men are randomly being murdered execution style.

Special Agent Skyelar Blu — a weapons and martial arts expert — is assigned to the case. She discovers that her reclusive father was a Sergeant in the Guard unit that made history when soldiers fired their weapons into a crowd of unsuspecting Kent State University students. It’s uncovered that the men being killed were once members of this unit, as well as agitators from the SDS (Students for a Democratic Society).

Why is someone killing these men? Is it insanity…revenge…or something deeper? Is Skye’s father the prime suspect or is he the key to finding the killer?

Now Skyelar must catch the killer and unwrap the mystery surrounding her father and the murders.

Dear readers: I believe this book will give you some insight to this historic event. Although it’s fiction, it is based around the actual event and a rumor that swirled around it, but was never proven. I wanted to get into the psyche of the man that pulled the trigger first and how that event may have effected his life.

I was inspired to write this book becasue in 1970, I was actually a student at Kent State University and stood less than 100 yards from the Ohio National Guard soldiers when they opened fire.

I wrote the screenplay first and then the novel. The entire process took me over two years.

The books title, MAYDAY, was the logical choice. The even happen on May 4, 1970 and “Mayday” is an international distress signal.

I actually created the cover. The bloody peace sign symbolizes the outcome of that day and is also one a reoccurring symbol/clue throughout the novel.

The hardest part of writing this book was reliving the event over and over in my head. I did a lot of research and learned a lot about the events that transpired in the years that followed. To the families and love ones, mostly.

I hope you will read MAYDAY. For those of you in my age range it will bring back memories of those days. For the rest of you, I hope you will learn a little about a tragic event that I pray will never be repeated.

Author Bio:
In 1970, I was actually a student at Kent State University and stood less than 100 yards from the Ohio National Guard soldiers when they opened fire. I dropped out but returned two years later to finish my degree in graphic design and film.

I have been a creative director and ad agency owner for 35 years. I’ve written and directed hundreds of TV and radio commercials for major brands. I retired early and have been a college professor since 06. Mayday was one of three screenplays I’ve written, and then turned into my first novel.
