Parsons Green
The people of Savannah would rather forget the execution of young Catherine Harcourt over 200 years ago. But Catherine does not want to be forgotten. She cannot leave Harcourt House, the crumbling mansion where she once worked as a servant girl. It takes a modern day teenager, Cricket McLean, to help figure out what led to the tragic events of one night that changed so many people’s lives forever. Things start to get a little more complicated for Cricket when she meets Liam Chartwell, the handsome and almost annoyingly good-natured teenage descendant of the original owners of the house. With the help of a retired local historian and a not very intuitive ‘psychic, ‘ Cricket begins to discover the truth. But Catherine’s ghost isn’t the only restless spirit roaming historic Chartwell House. A much darker entity is determined to make sure that a centuries old secret is never revealed. Spanning two hundred years with the beautiful and mysterious city of Savannah as it’s backdrop, Parsons Green tells the story of love and loss experienced by two girls separated by the centuries.

Odyssey in a Teacup by Paula Houseman
About Odyssey in a Teacup by Paula Houseman:
A tut-tutting, big-breasted, modern-day gorgon; a humourless schoolmarm with an unfortunate name and freakishly long, yellow incisors (yeesh)—these are the kinds of people Ruth Roth regularly encounters. Add in daily dealings with an acerbic mother who squawks like a harpy, a father with a dodgy moral compass and a God complex, a bitchy mirror, and Ruth’s existence feels like a Greek tragicomedy.
The idiocy of daily life makes sense to Ruth when she develops a fascination with ancient mythology. She learns that the deviant gods and spectacular monsters of bygone myths are alive and well in the backwoods of our psyche; that there’s always one who escapes suppression and can have the whip hand in our lives. Ruth’s is one of the most unwelcome societal presences—the goddess of obscenity. And talk about ugly!
Ruth can relate to this immortal. Not in looks; Ruth is quite comely. But she feels unwelcome in her own family (she gatecrashed her mother’s womb only two months after her brother vacated it). Despite being labelled the ‘black sheep’, or maybe because of it, Ruth takes on her nemeses, bravely and brazenly (her dirty goddess doesn’t give a rat’s about social niceties). But our heroine is war-weary. And the yearning to fit in somewhere—anywhere—eventually undoes her. We must look on helplessly as Ruth loses her soul.
She wants it back, though!
Just as well the mad characters in her mind and experiences won’t quit. Just as well Ruth never loses her wry wit. And where her nearest and dearest attempt to keep her shrunken into a wholesome package of conformity, Ruth’s two closest girlfriends simply won’t allow it. And then there’s Ralph Brill.
Ruth’s hot-looking, eccentric cousin and best friend, Ralph is her staunchest ally. Also a misfit in his family, he has his share of problems including a st-t-t-tuttering brutish father, and an obsessive-compulsive personality disorder—Ralph needs to do everything twice, twice.
Ruth relies on his repeated encouragement and the support of her girlfriends as she embarks on an odyssey. A good homoeopathic dose of ancient mythology helps her find her way back through the sludgy shame and irrational fears choking her spirit. Then just when all seems well, Ruth faces an apocalypse …

Author Bio:
Paula Houseman thought her life was, well … meh. Until she started fiction writing. What gushed forth onto the page made her realise her existence had not been mundane after all; it had been ridiculous!
Sure, she has a serious side. The concept of ‘identity’ had fascinated her for some time, and she exercised it as a graphic designer creating them for others through imagery. Then, at university (majoring in linguistics and sociology), she explored how word usage constructs our identities and realities. Paula applied her findings to an essay on women’s subjectivity, even won the 2007 UNSW United Association of Women Prize. And her honours thesis examined the archetypal significances in the words that shape our collectively authored cancer story.
But while she was digging around in ancient mythology where the archetypes live, Paula developed a kinship with a butt-ugly, potty-mouthed goddess, one who embodied a holy kind of dirty, showed her the absurdity of the human condition, taught her about the value of laughter, and is responsible for the bawdiness in her book, Odyssey in a Teacup.

Predictions for the 21st Century
About Predictions for the 21st Century:
By examining the demographic details across the globe, Dennis Marx has uncovered a startling fact impacting virtually every country, rich or poor, religious or secular, advanced or agrarian. Human fertility is falling. Every sign points to a collapsing worldwide population by the end of this century. The population explosion of the 20th century has turned into the population implosion of the 21st century and for the centuries following into the new millennium.
In his book on predictions for the 21st century, Dennis Marx looks not to sociology, economics or politics for the root causes of the coming population collapse, but to the science of evolution. Man is an animal, he argues, and the houses, cars and businesses of the world are the environment we inhabit. An environment that includes smart phones, computers, the Internet, social media and pornography. This is the environment that men and woman, survive, mate and procreate in.
Using these tools of demographics as viewed through the window of evolutionary biology, he develops surprising, and contrarian predictions about the new world we are about to enter.
The predictions cover topics from the business of advertising to the future of genocide. The book discusses culture and how the forming of icons and media will be impacted by unprecedented upcoming demographic distributions. The author discusses the economy of this new world and even provides advice on how to alter investing and business practices to exploit the coming changes.
Dennis Marx uses the US Census Bureau’s own international population statistics as well as numerous other sources to prove these points. He also includes an extensive bibliography at the end of his book that provides the reader with additional material for further study of this very interesting and timely topic.

Author Bio:
I am a stay at home mom who loves to read and write romance. I believe romance can be told without all of the “juicy” details, and I love sharing the stories in my head with everyone else. All of my stories will tell of people who find true love, and who find their happy ever after. Sometimes the road might be rocky, but that makes it all worthwhile!
I am a mom of 2 amazing girls, ages 10 and 12, wife to my patient husband of 13 years, and loyal guardian to my little faithful dog and 2 cats. After being diagnosed with breast cancer when I was 39 years old, I decided the “someday” I was going to sit down and write a book was now – and so I took the leap and wrote my first book – the story of Everly and Ben in the Wilder West Series.
I truly hope you enjoy my stories, and I would love to hear from all of you! Sign up for my newsletter to get a FREE book – the journal writings of Everly’s mom Caroline from the time of her losing her parents until the time for Everly’s story.

The Cannabis Chronicles by komura 420
About The Cannabis Chronicles by komura 420:
When a junior law partner died under questionable circumstances, the largest legal firm in Florida discovered they represent the biggest cannabis distribution network on the East Coast.
Debbie and Carl are their clients and refugees from New Orleans. They didn’t run from a hurricane, they ran from the cops.
Bill and Jackson are their clients and have been growing together since they were in college. But a woman has strained their friendship.
Professor Mark Strange developed a sophisticated model for evaluating conflicting historical accounts. Problem is that it is very similar to the models used by the intelligence community for covert operations. The government tried to surpress his doctoral dissertation and inadvertantly gave him ‘rockstar’ status in the sedate world of historians.
A powerful shadow group of want to test Professor Strange and his methods.

Author Bio:
With the “Drawn to the Flames” Series, Ariadne, of the red thread fame, returns to weave a new saga of searching and discovery in hidden depths. She invites the reader to join with the tough, beautiful, hard-working single mom Kate Hadley, and her smart, sassy, barely legal daughter Sasha as they find their dreams centering on Harrison Hill, mega-rich founder of Hill Financial Advisers, the top investment company in the romantic San Francisco Bay Area.
No stranger to the inherent comedy of humans in heat, Ariadne tells her tales of sexy exploration through the eyes and actions of her richly detailed main and supporting characters. Through the stories, Ariadne weaves a yarn of dense and colorful fabric, a tale of sexual awakenings and challenges, of betrayals and loyalties, of secrets and sorrows, of lies that may not be lies, and not always clear truths.
She brings her cast of characters to life in realistic settings and circumstances, reflecting her own adventures among the rich and powerful. She has flown on the private jets, has known real-life billionaires, and has traveled to the places and stayed in the amazing inns and resorts she writes about. Kate and Sasha and their romantic lodestar Harrison Hill come to life based upon Ariadne’s wide knowledge and painfully-gained understanding of men and women through the long saga of human history. In sharing the journey, the reader will be sharing the world of one who is a seeker and visionary and historian of human sexuality as much as a storyteller.
Ariadne’s life and her personal triumphs and stunning disappointments are the best possible qualifications for spinning and weaving these tales. Her real-life affairs on four continents, her extensive travels, especially in Europe, and her long residence in Tokyo all color the drama and comedy she writes, as do her collegiate years in Berkeley and New York City, her work as a systems design and development professional, her years as a jet-setting marketer and consultant, and her successful stints as a major corporate division head and international seminar leader.
