About Milking Mrs. Claus by Scarlet Carson:

In this twisted Christmas erotica story, Mrs. Claus allows herself to be seduced on the one night that her husband is out of town. Bernard, Santa’s right hand elf, knows that Mrs. Claus’ marriage is not all milk and cookies, and uses Magical Christmas Dust to transform her into a holiday hucow, just begging to share her bosom’s sweet creamy goodness.

Bernard, however, wants more, and after literally milking all he can out of the boss’ wife, makes a deal with Santa’s worst nightmare, a deal that will open Mrs. Claus to new sexual perversions, and change the North Pole forever.

About Forty Days at Kamas:

“A brutal portrait of a dystopian America, full of dramatic irony and shocking revelation.” KIRKUS REVIEWS

“Weighty in ideas, Fleming’s book is both informative and deeply disturbing and provides an intriguing read.” SAN FRANCISCO BOOK REVIEW

“A page-turner…moves at a solid clip. An overtly political story that succeeds as entertainment.” PACIFIC BOOK REVIEW

“Masterfully paints a grim landscape with believable detail and vivid characters.” BOOKPLEASURES.COM

Inspired by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s account of a Soviet labor camp revolt in Gulag Archipelago, Volume III, the story of FORTY DAYS AT KAMAS follows political prisoners and security officials at a corrective labor camp in Kamas, Utah, where inmates seize control during the summer of 2024.

KAMAS, UTAH. 2024. America has become a totalitarian dystopia after the Unionist Party’s rise to power. The American West contains vast Restricted Zones dotted with ghost towns, scattered military garrisons and corrective labor camps where the regime disposes of its real and suspected enemies. Kamas is one such camp.

On a frigid March night, a former businessman from Pittsburgh, Paul Wagner, arrives at a labor camp in Utah’s Kamas Valley, a dozen miles east of the deserted resort town of Park City, which prisoners are dismantling as part of a massive recycling project.

When Wagner arrives, he is unaware that his eleven-year-old daughter, Claire, has set off to Utah to find him after becoming separated from her mother at the Philadelphia Airport. By an odd quirk of fate, Claire has traveled on the same train that carried her father into internal exile.

Only after Wagner has renounced all hope of survival, cast his lot with anti-regime hard-liners and joined them in an unprecedented and suicidal revolt does he discover that Claire has become a servant in the home of the camp’s Deputy Warden. Wagner is torn between his devotion to family and loyalty to his fellow rebels until, on the eve of an armored assault intended to crush the revolt, he faces an agonizing choice between a hero’s death and a coward’s freedom.

In FORTY DAYS AT KAMAS, author Preston Fleming offers a stirring portrait of a man determined to survive under the bleakest of conditions and against formidable odds.

Author Bio:
I decided to write novels at age fourteen. My English composition instructor, a World War II combat veteran, advised those of us who wanted to follow Melville, Conrad and Hemingway to live some adventures so we could tell stories people would want to read. During my adventures in the Middle East, Europe, and Russia, I saw failed states and societies but was surprised at how much their people had in common with Americans. This made me wonder: “Could it happen here?” In writing KAMAS, my greatest concern has been to gain a readership before the events it describes come to pass.

About Double Forte by Aaron Paul Lazar:

After four lonely years, music professor Gus LeGarde is still reeling from the death of his wife Elsbeth. To deal with the loss, he plays endless Chopin etudes on his piano and lavishes love on his grandson and dog, but nothing lessens the pain.

Life spirals out of control when Gus heads for the snow-covered hills on an early morning skiing excursion to find a mute child shackled to a bedpost in a cabin. Gus rescues the child but the kidnapper, Baxter, escapes into the woods to stew in hot revenge.

Unexpectedly thrown together with Camille, a social worker who takes the child into her own home, Gus falls hard. The first woman who’s stirred his soul since his Elsbeth, Camille is polite enough toward him — but her own dark secrets have her pulling away despite the mutual attraction.

When Gus’s little grandson goes missing, he fears the worse. Does Baxter have the little boy? Does he want to trade for the mute child? Gus braces for the fight of his life, struggling to protect Camille and his family before time runs out.

About Family of Choice by Lissa Brown:

Family of Choice follows the main character of Brown’s award-winning novel, Another F-Word, Rory Calhoun Wilson. Rory suffered bullying by his father and others when he didn’t conform to their notion of a manly boy. Now grown and a physician, he wrestles with the scars of a painful childhood and addresses the question of whether he can overcome those experiences and live a fulfilling and successful life. Can Rory forgive his father and allow him a place in his new family? Should he? This compelling story examines issues of holding on to anger and how and whether to let it go. Tied closely to Rory’s dilemma is the question of whether he should legally adopt the biological children of his partner, Nimo. His hesitation rests squarely on the fact that he did not have a good role model in his own father. His future happiness and that of his family rest on his decisions.
This novel is suitable for middle school to adult readers. It deals with bullying, forgiveness, the importance of family, marriage equality and gay parenting. It may be read independently of Another F-Word.

Tiana Rossum’s mad. Really mad. The owner of a successful bakery in Dallas, she’s learned to not trust those around her the hard way. After fending off burglars, dealing with absent staff and generally pulling her hair out, the curvy baker deserves a vacation, right?

With wildfires threatening Shifter Grove and Tiana’s heart and hand on the line, can Royce beat the odds and conquer both? And will Tiana learn to trust again or has she gotten burned one too many times?

About CHRISTMAS GIFT: Holiday Cheer Hops Here By Stephen Cherokee Drury:

CHRISTMAS GIFT

Be you an adult or child, can any mortal believe or even conceive Santa does not breathe – just kid dreams or schemes gone wild? Nay, they will forever say, cause good elves know what is at play. One may say he stays only in a kid’s mind, yet truth ye shall find.
Sip a tip or more of what is in store behind Christmas Gift’s door:

“Once beneath a Christmas moon, the imps huddled
to hear this deer tale to unveil dear Santa’s secret.
So cuddle up to heed huddle scuttlebutt on Clause!
He is not spotted – cause his deer ducks spot flaws,
magically scanning homes before Santa will appear.
Elves claimed Santa named his deer Holiday Cheer.”

Within Christmas Gift you will find other verses from the author’s thirty year collection to enjoy, in addition to Holiday Cheer Tales. This author is specially drawn to the type of verses that stimulate ideas – thoughts that cause people to reflect on all aspects of life, primarily their own. He likes to emphasize the decisive aspects of our experience. In essence, the beginnings and ends to all of our stories are similar. It is that flicker in the middle that differs – yet matters. It is this writer’s mission to capture life in a brief phrase that kindles minds, sets hearts aglow and dwells in souls.

Readers find Christmas Gift cheery and entertaining. It highlights portions of our lives that touch our deepest feelings at Christmas. This author is a humorist who will set crisp upturns on your smile.

My writing is offered to any reader, young and all those young at heart, who like inspiring thoughts. As well as books, I write humorous quotes, posted on PhotoVerseBooks.com, to help my readers through days. They are a collection written over the last thirty years. I look at myself with a good sense of humor, which makes life rather simple. Being a humorist is really pretty easy, words are just music to me and life provides ideas for the scores. It is a writer’s task to capture life in brief phrases that kindle minds, set hearts aglow and dwell in souls.
It has always been suitable that the biographical sketch about an author should be in third person, though it is typically the author who writes it. Well, I have always found that to be a bit strange. So, allow me to write in a more straightforward way.

I grew up in a ranching community in Texas. I have spent all of my life, except for excursions, in that grand state of vastness, great beauty and such totally independent mindset. I have traveled to wild and beautiful places, but I have made decidedly speedy tracks back home to Texas on my fastest horse.

I spent my former days on trucks, tractors and combines baling and bucking hay. I also played baseball early, then football as an all-district linebacker. I advanced to complete undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate degrees/studies & thesis in behavioral science, in addition to philosophy. I am not big on tacking those educational credentials after my name, so I refrain from doing it. I have always shown respect to my grandpa, Walt, whose heritage was half Cherokee. I am very proud of him, thus the namesake Cherokee.

I have written verses all my grown up life and kept them hidden in my notebooks. Time spent on education, adventures and vocations have kept me from this process of organizing and publishing. I have owned ranch related businesses since 1989 and market my ranches from Texas down to exquisite places in Argentina and Brazil. I am probably the only writer on these or any other such pages to have flown in a red chopper over vast Val Verde County, Texas a couple of fine times with the incomparable Jeff Bezos looking over my Arrowhead Ranches. It was a fun and remarkable time. God Bless

Even before I open my eyes I can see my characters and the see what they are doing, I can hear them talking and know what they are worried about. I have carried the story inside me for such a long time. I have to write it down.
There is no other passion for except this one.

Tell us about your writing process.
I like to write longhand , I get too distracted from using computers and do not touch type well.
I use dictation to transfer my books into computers. I am currently on my first draft of my second novel. I think there are at least two stages:
1) writing the story down
2) figuring about the best way to tell the story to your audience.
I have a background in performance storytelling and sometimes I like to visualise a fidgety audience in order to figure how to tell my story.

About Shaky Man by Mark S. Parker:

Stay away from Shaky Man. Every kid in the small town of Tonkaway, Texas, knows that.

He eats little kids, murdered his wife, and mistreats his dogs, to boot. That’s what they say, anyway. Top doesn’t entirely know what to think about the rumors. He’s too busy settling into his new home, playing baseball and making friends—like Mickey, a black boy who soon becomes his best friend of all.

Everything changes when a shocking murder turns the town, along with Top and Mickey’s lives, upside down. Neighbors show their true colors. Shaky Man’s secrets are revealed. Through it all, Top learns again and again just how confusing and unfair the world can be. A tale of childhood set in the 1960s, Shaky Man timelessly reaffirms the basic goodness of humanity and the importance of friendship and compassion in the face of prejudice.

About Murder in Murloo by Brigid George:

When a popular young woman is strangled in her home in the seaside village of Murloo, the residents are sure an itinerant surfer who disappeared after the murder is the killer. However, one year later the surfer is still missing and the killer’s identity remains a mystery.

However, this case tests Dusty to the limit and she despairs of ever catching the callous killer who seems to be lurking nearby and yet…

A gripping mystery imbued with the ambience of Australia—from the mysterious wood carving found with the body, the captivating characters of a small town, to the coastal splendour of the Southern Ocean.

To avoid her boisterous brothers she often escaped into the hayshed with a book. Hours and hours of reading from an early age trained her for life as a writer. In primary school her teachers called her ‘the one with the Enid Blyton touch’. Her love of reading murder mysteries as an adult has now evolved into a love of writing them.

As a teenager she had short stories published in one of Australia’s national magazines, New Idea. Since then she has won several awards for her stories which have also been published in anthologies.

Brigid still lives in the state of Victoria but is now in the capital city of Melbourne where her life is fertile with friends.

Brigid George is the pseudonym of JB Rowley – author of Whisper My Secret & Mother of Ten.

About Edwina – Bride Of Connecticut – American Mail Order Brides Series – by Margaret Tanner:

Book 5 in the American Mail Order Bride Series. – Edwina Bride Of Connecticut

Joshua was a happy bachelor until his sister lands him with a Mail Order Bride. Desperate to Escape Boston, Edwina accepts the marriage proposal she believes has come from him.
Can a deceived bride, and a reluctant groom, find happiness together?

50 MAIL-ORDER BRIDES TAKE AMERICA BY STORM
A Bride for Each State
In an unprecedented event, forty-five authors come together to bring readers a new series of epic proportions. On fifty consecutive days beginning November 19, 2015, a romance, featuring a mail-order bride, will be published–one set in each of the fifty states. The books will be released in the order the states were admitted to the union. The stories all take place in 1890, following a day when a factory in the East burns to the ground, leaving these women unemployed and forced to choose mail-order marriages for survival. Share the experiences of these brides as they seek love and new lives across the United States.
This is a 50-book project, with 45 authors, each releasing a 35-45k book with a connecting initial premise. An unveiling of the project occurred on November 1, with a Facebook party and release of Prequel: American Mail-Order Brides by Kirsten Osborne. Beginning with the November 19 release of the first book, Lottie: Bride of Delaware by Kit Morgan, a book will be available every day through January 7–each set in a different state or territory. The order of release corresponds with the order of statehood. All the books are currently on pre-order on Amazon and are enrolled in Kindle Unlimited. The books retail for $2.99 each, and they feature covers with a draped flag and a consistent appearance that further ties the series together.
This project has many bestselling authors, including New York Times and USA Today top sellers such as Debra Holland, Kirsten Osbourne, and Callie Hutton. Branching out from success in the cozy mystery genre is Leighann Dobbs. There are also new rising stars in the western historical romance genre–Cindy Caldwell, Hildie McQueen, Amelia Adams and Ashley Merrick. Many more are also participating, with several authors writing two books.
For branding purposes, the books share a common cover template of an American flag draped down the left side. There is also a dedicated website, with links to each author’s Amazon author page. In addition, there is a Facebook page with all the covers in order of release and buy links.

BIO: MARGARET TANNER
Margaret Tanner is an award winning multi-published Australian author. She loves delving into the pages of history as she carries out research for her historical romance novels, and prides herself on being historically correct. No book is too old or tattered for her to trawl through, no museum too dusty. Many of her novels have been inspired by true events, with one being written around the hardships and triumphs of her pioneering ancestors in frontier Australia. She once spent a couple of hours in an old goal cell so she could feel the chilling cold and fear

About MAILBOX: A Scattershot Novel of Racing, Dares and Danger, Occasional Nakedness, and Faith:

The Drue family moved from New York to Small Town, USA in the ’70s, and they may never fully fit in. Thirteen-year-old Sandy’s parents encourage her curiosity, her imagination, and her challenge of social conventions – but not without cost. Sandy and her brother are now learning about horses, cows, swimming pools, and guns. An artist and intellectual, their mother feels like she’s hosting foreign exchange students who never leave. Sandy loves the idea of this – both hosting foreign students and travelling the world. As a start, she begins writing letters to distant friends and to the universe, seeking answers to the biggest question she faces…whether there’s anyone bigger in charge. Writing with “infectious vitality”, Freund “perfectly channels the voice of Sandy in all her precocious naiveté” (KIRKUS Reviews). MAILBOX has been compared to John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars, by All4Women, and is for moms and dads, sons and daughters, people on the move, people who’ve already moved, people who might be movers-and-shakers or wish they were.

About Lingerie Wars:

It’s Christmas in the Highlands and there’s a Lingerie War going on…

Englishman Lake Benson loaned his life savings to his dippy sister so that she could buy a shop. It was a big mistake. His sister has been steadily flushing his money down the drain – and now he wants it back. Years in the special forces taught Lake that if you want a job done, do it yourself. So he steps in to make the shop profitable, sell it and get his money back. The only problem is, the business is an underwear shop. And all Lake knows about underwear can be summed up in how fast he can unsnap a bra. To make matters worse, the tiny highland town already has a lingerie shop. A successful one, run by an ex-lingerie model. A very gorgeous ex-lingerie model, who’s distracting him from his mission more than he’d like to admit. If Lake wants to get his savings back, and get out of Scotland, he only has one option – wipe out the competition.

Kirsty Campbell has spent years rebuilding her life after she woke up in hospital in Spain to find her body scarred, and her ex-fiance had run off with all her money. The last thing she needs is a cocky, English soldier-boy trying to ruin all she has left. Her home town is only too happy to help her fight the latest English invasion, although Lake is beginning to sway them with his sex appeal and cut price knickers. With the help of her mother, and the retired ladies of Knit or Die, Kirsty sets about making sure that her shop is the last one standing in Invertary.

It’s Scotland versus England as you’ve never seen it before. It’s lingerie war.

NOTE: This is a standalone romance which is the first in a series of interconnected books, all set in the same small Scottish town. You don’t have to read all of the books to enjoy each individual story.

5 random things about me:

1. I accidentally mooned a crowd at a Bolivian wedding.
2. I’ve been chased by a gang of baboons. And I mean gang. They were organised and vicious. All that was missing was their leather jackets and tattoos!
3. I wrote my first novel when I was 22. It was a cross between Star Wars, Monsters Inc. and Tinkerbelle. Funnily enough, no one wanted to publish it. Odd that…
4. I was a portrait artist on the streets of Amsterdam for a time.
5. I worked night shift as a security guard at Stirling Castle in Scotland while I was in college. The castle was on a terrorist hit-list back then. To defend it they gave me a flashlight, a two-way radio that only worked one-way and made me wear a polyester A-line skirt…

I’m a Scot, living in New Zealand and married to a Dutch man. I have two tiny girls, too many animals and a Pepsi-Max addiction! Oh, and I write contemporary romance.
