Sliding: The Stone Series Book 1 by Kitty Berry
About Sliding: The Stone Series Book 1 by Kitty Berry:
Sliding, the first book of The Stone Series, is a story of young love as it develops over the years.
Brooklynn Taylor stands in front of her mirror, looking at her reflection. She is happily married to Tate Taylor, her adolescent crush, the wealthy and powerful music executive at Taylor Studios, Inc. Well, she was until tragedy struck and Tate fled to the West Coast under the disguise of business. Now she’s not sure about anything.
Brook is faced with a decision, she must make a choice. Sliding is the parallel tracking of two possible destinies, essentially, the classic what-if scenario. Little moments in time when we question which decision is right and which is wrong, both can change our lives forever, leading us down different avenues, times that are impossible to go back and change. Brook will enter into the center of two significantly different trajectories. The question is…which is the one that is meant for her?
Brook stands in front of a mirror in her Manhattan penthouse. She’s on her way to see Tate in California. He is the only man she has ever known, the only man she has ever loved, and Brook decides not to waste another minute of their lives. She rushes to make her flight.
While traveling, she listens to one of Tate’s infamous playlists, and it transports her back to their youth, back to the start of their relationship, back twenty five years, when the then popular jock, Tate Taylor asked her to dance for the first time.
Sliding lets the reader experience Brook and Tate’s coming of age as we witness their relationship while it evolves from adolescent innocence into a passionate and overwhelming romance.
But in life we all have choices to make and as the story continues we see Brook, again in front of that same mirror on that same fateful morning, only this time we see what happens when she isn’t in such a rush.

Author Bio:
I am a teacher who resides in the suburbs of Connecticut with my husband and three teenage sons. This makes me the only woman in a house of screaming sport fanatics! During any given evening you can find me curled up in bed reading while in the next room my boys (yes, this includes my husband) yell at the TV.
I am an only child who never wished for a sibling. I openly admit to being a spoiled brat and to this day the word “no” does not go over very well with me.
I decided to write under the pen name Kitty Berry in honor of my late mother. My love for reading and discussing literature didn’t come to me until my late twenties and it’s one of my biggest regrets that it took so long because by the time I developed that passion my mother had passed away from breast cancer. I wish I could talk to her now about the books I read and share with her my ideas for my own stories.
It was my late mother’s desire of becoming a writer that prompted me to create a contemporary romantic series that pulls the reader in and makes them become invested in the characters that I place in worlds of wealth, power, seduction, dominance and submission. Hmm, now that I’m writing this, maybe I wouldn’t discuss every scene in my books with her.
Angst-ridden, plot-driven, women’s contemporary romances mesmerize me and fast-paced entertaining mysteries as well as witty “chick lit” contributed to my desire to be a writer. I’m a creative person by nature who came into writing during a time in my life when the busy balance of career and family made me crave an escape into the world of romance. I took that desire and turned it into a romantic series that offers the reader multidimensional characters. My goal for my series is to engage the reader from the moment the powerful dominant man meets a woman who is submissive in their bed but still offers them a challenge in their relationship and they fall into an unstoppable infatuation with one another.
While each book in my series can stand alone with its own story, the intention was to create carry-over characters to satisfy the need of the reader to know more after each novel ends. As an avid reader myself, I enjoy the feeling of being there with the characters inside the story and often times find myself wanting to know more about them, missing them when the story is over, and becoming excited all over again when I discover those familiar characters in subsequent novels. I hope that this series will do the same for my readers.
I love dark chocolate everything, music inspires my writing and as soon as I’m done driving carpools, attending basketball games and coordinating the social lives of my three adolescent children (who have way better social lives than I do) I plan to also enjoy traveling.

Author Bio:
Deirdre Gould lives in Central Maine with her three children and husband. She’s also resided in northern Idaho, coastal Virginia and central Pennsylvania, but all of them just led her back home.The winters sure are cold, but that just means the zombies run slower. The area is isolated, but that just means the apocalyptic diseases don’t spread as quickly. And the storms are bad enough that no one thinks you’re crazy for “prepping.” It’s kind of ideal for a post-apocalypse writer when you think about it.

Test of Magnitude
Revenge is only justice when it can be administered without hatred.
Welcome to the Tora star system, home of the spectacular Cardinal-4 space station overlooking Amulen and Banor, twin worlds that share the same orbit. One visit and you’ll understand why this station is the pinnacle of Torian achievement and a wonder of the Erobian Sphere.
Unfortunately, your timing isn’t great. Many centuries of peace and prosperity are on the verge of collapsing for members of the Erob coalition as signs of the first interstellar wars loom. The half-breeds tell us it is because we are now forsaking the ancient law, and have thus allowed an evil infection to begin spreading through the galaxy. But those Erob half-breeds have always been a little over-dramatic, haven’t they?
Brandon Foss, an unhappily married Virginian in his early thirties, awakes from a strange dream to discover he has been abducted from Earth and kept in cryonic preservation on Amulen for two decades. One other resuscitated human is with him, a real knucklehead who almost seems as alien to Brandon as their reptilian captors. A friendship of convenience forms as the two Earthlings soon become unwittingly intertwined in Torian politics and military affairs–at a time, it turns out, when the Torians desperately need just such intertwining.

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 and strange men in leather thongs.
After a long drought, men are flooding her shores and she’s drowning in choices. There’s the 25-year-old IT boy-genius with the GQ looks, the charming but mysterious doctor, and her hot new neighbor with the hard rock night gig.
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 new, tempestuous life.

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

The Affirmative Alternative
About The Affirmative Alternative:
The Affirmative Alternative
Do you desire to live a mundane life, enjoying modest happiness and contentment? Probably not. Most of us desire a life that’s full and interesting and satisfying on all levels. Some try to achieve it by engaging in a particular type of work or by having particular types of personal relationships. Others follow the latest advice from charismatic celebrities and experts. Others leave it to chance and hope for the best. And others, ironically, try to achieve it by engaging in unhealthy behaviors.
What’s missing in all of these approaches? They offer no practical guidance in how to deal with the many individual episodes that we experience each day. And it is in these episodes, day after day, that the opportunity to live fully comes. This is where happiness is to be found.
In this book, Robert Harris introduces readers to a new practical technique for living a fuller and happier life moment to moment. It’s based on a simple idea − but one that can have a profound impact on the quality of life. It’s a tool that can help people to realize their full potential from this day forward.

The Atomic Sea: Volume One
About The Atomic Sea: Volume One:
What is the secret of the Atomic Sea? Epic adventure in a strange world by bestselling author Jack Conner.
Imagine the epic fantasy adventure of “Lord of the Rings” blended with the cosmic strangeness of China Mieville or Jeff Vandermeer, and you’ll have some idea of the wonders and delights awaiting you in “The Atomic Sea”, a brand-new series by bestselling author Jack Conner.
A thousand years ago, the sea changed, becoming strange and unnatural, and in the process transforming the world. Now, with the Empire of Octung plunging the world into a terrible war, only one man — Dr. Francis Avery — and his rag-tag band have a hope of ending the chaos and, once and for a all, uncovering the mystery of the Atomic Sea.
Dr. Avery is out on the sea serving as the doctor aboard a whaling ship when a most curious patient is brought to him — a beautiful woman fished out of the Atomic Se, who has survived the horrors and poisons of the water, and who carries a secret that could either save the world or damn it. At the same time, murders have been occurring aboard the ship — there’s a spy for Octung aboard. If Avery doesn’t save the woman from the killer and help her achieve her ends, the whole world will be plunged into nightmare.
This is just the beginning of the incredible adventure waiting in “The Atomic Sea: Part One”.
