Author Bio:
Jackie Holiday was born the fourth of six children. If given the opportunity to meet Jackie Holiday, if only for a moment, you would never forget it!

Jackie Holiday holds a Bachelor of Science in electrical engineering and is an accomplished foil fencer. Jackie has a special talent of incorporating bits and pieces of an amazing life into the lives of Jackie’s characters. When asked about accomplishments, Holiday didn’t care to enumerate a long list of academic awards, patents, copyrights, and winning a beauty contest; instead, Jackie said, “I’ve always done my best to be good, and to be kind to people, that’s what’s most important when we’re writing our own stories. It’s much harder to be a hero than a villain. My motto is: Love others, and love yourself. I’m just happy knowing that I’ve tried hard to be good, and that I’ll continue trying to do my best.

Slippery When Wet: One Woman’s Journey Through the Mystery of Sex
About Slippery When Wet: One Woman’s Journey Through the Mystery of Sex:
This must-read book is your guide to sensual self-awareness and deep-rooted sexual confidence. Young adult or senior citizen, male or female, it will leave you in awe of the power of human sexuality in our lives.
The twists and turns of human sexuality in this enjoyable read are a unique mix of cutting-edge science and memoir-like tales of personal and professional development.
“This is a must read for EVERYONE who loves SEX. As an ancient sexologist who has taught so many women about orgasms, this book is very special written by an ‘expert’ who includes her own sexual history which makes it far more real for me.” – Betty Dodson, PhD, Celebrated Sexologist and author
Many of us are hesitant to talk about what is really going on in our sex lives, especially when we feel unsure of ourselves or out of sync with our lover. To overcome this, author and reproductive physiologist Dr. Joanna Ellington uses brutal honesty, humor, and intelligence to share her own intimate story of sex from puberty to menopause in a way that ties research to real life experiences.
This valuable book takes on many of the controversial sex topics of today, often through the unique lens of andrology (the study of men). It candidly discusses teens and sex, solo masturbation within marriage, and how to find out why we just don’t feel like “doing it” anymore.
Part kitchen table talk with a trusted aunt, part fascinating lecture into the newest research on creating great sex. This book is easy to understand and will open your eyes to the latest medicine that even many physicians haven’t caught up on yet.

Joanna’s writing has been praised by Dr. Betty Dodson for its ability to make the science of sex real by tying research to real life experiences.
While she can talk about sex on national television, she is embarrassed to buy “personal items” at the store. Recognizing how we all feel empowered at times and ridiculous at others helps her share the science of sex through accessible, human stories. Her scientific work and personal life fuel one another. She has followed her passion to understand and share our human sexuality throughout her life, from the process of inventing a fertility-friendly personal lubricant to the study of her own Fallopian Tubes after surgery.

Breathe by Christine Grey
About Breathe by Christine Grey:
Dearra comes into possession of the magical Sword of Cyrus just as the evil Breken attack her island home. Though her people succeed in driving their enemy back to the sea, one of the invaders remains behind, left for dead by his cruel kin.
Now, Dearra doesn’t know what to be more surprised by, the fact that her sword can speak to her, or that it has imperiously informed her that the handsome Breken warrior is her destiny.
The two are bound together by a chain of events that was set into motion a thousand years earlier, and everything they thought they knew about themselves, their history, and their future is about to change.

Watching Them, the latest release from Fiona McShane, will be free on Amazon from December 26th 2015 – December 30th 2015.
Book Description:
Vivienne is thirty-one, pregnant, and terrified. In order to come to terms with her fears, she must finally acknowledge a childhood she has tried to forget.
Watching Them follows Vivienne on a journey through memory. She recalls childhood, school days and sleepovers. She recalls first loves and romantic experiences. She recalls college years, nights out, good friends and bad. She recalls the beauty of Carina, and the greatest moments of Carina’s life.
But in each of Vivienne’s memories, a shadow is lurking.
Why must she pretend that Carina is her cousin?
Why must she never go into the bungalow across the lake?
And why does she constantly lie to Carina, when Vivienne knows that with just one word of honesty, she could end Carina’s horror forever?
Watching Them is a story of growing up in a family with dark secrets. It’s a story of lives lived under the shadow of abuse. It’s a story told through the eyes of Vivienne, a narrator who may never be ready to tell us the truth.

Author Bio:
Fiona McShane lives behind a writing desk in (very) rural Ireland. She lives with her husband, a dog and a cat. She writes Contemporary fiction and Paranormal/Historical fiction, but there’s always time to add another genre to the mix.
When she’s not writing, you can find her walking along country lanes with her dog and getting splashed by passing tractors, falling out of simple yoga poses – because yes, she is that clumsy – or with her head down, immersed in a book.
Breaking TWIG
Set in the rural South in the 60s and 70s, Breaking TWIG tells the story of thirteen-year-old Becky (Twig) Cooper, who is trying to survive the physical and emotional abuse of her mother, Helen, a calculating woman who can, with a mere look, send the meanest cur in Sugardale, Georgia running for its life. Not even Twig’s vivid imagination and keen wit are enough to help her endure the assaults of Helen and a new stepbrother, but help comes from an unexpected source—Frank, her stepfather. Sometimes, having one person who believes in you is all a girl needs to keep hope alive.
Over the next eight years, Becky’s tumultuous struggle to prevail—becoming neither a “pick” (victim) nor a “picker” (abuser)—finds her bouncing back and forth between Helen’s abuse and Frank’s tenderness as she fights to win this desperate battle of souls.
Just as she begins to feel life holds some promise, Becky’s world crumbles. On Halloween night, she and Helen argue and all lies are stripped away. Now that she knows the shocking truth about her mother, Becky must make a fateful decision—one that can give her the freedom she craves or destroy forever the new life and new love she has finally found.
Sprinkled with all the southern flavoring found in a hearty bowl of chicken and dumplings, Breaking TWIG is about finding love where we least expect it, destroying lives with easy lies, and realizing each of us determine our own truth.

Breaking TWIG by Deborah Epperson
About Breaking TWIG by Deborah Epperson:
Set in rural Georgia in the 1960s-70s, BREAKING TWIG is a coming-of-age novel about Becky (Twig) Cooper, a young woman trying to survive the physical and emotional abuse of her mother, Helen, a beautiful, calculating woman who can, with a mere look, send the meanest cur in Sugardale, Georgia running for its life. Not even Twig’s vivid imagination, keen wit, and dark sense of humor is enough to help her survive the escalating assaults of Helen and a new stepbrother, but help comes from an unexpected source–Frank, her stepfather. Sometimes, having one person who loves and believes in you is all a girl needs to keep hope alive.
Over the next eight years, Becky’s tumultuous struggle to prevail finds her bouncing back and forth between Helen’s abuse and Frank’s tenderness as she fights to win this desperate battle of souls. On Halloween night, she and Helen argue and all lies are stripped away. Now, Becky must make a fateful decision—one that can give her the freedom she craves or destroy forever the new life and love she’s found.
Often raw and irreverent and sprinkled with all the Southern flavoring found in a good bowl of chicken and dumplings, BREAKING TWIG, is about finding love where we least expect it, destroying lives with easy lies, and realizing each of us determine our own truth.
Breaking TWIG, a beautifully written and thought provoking novel, is absolutely one I recommend to my book group. From the moment Becky Leigh’s beloved Southern grandpa asks her, “Did I ever tell you the story of the Pickers and the Picks?” I was hooked.

Screaming in Paris by Brian Lageose
About Screaming in Parisby Brian Lageose
“Once upon a time, an extremely dysfunctional family decided that it would be a splendid idea to take a trip to Paris. In past adventures, this family had been unsuccessful in simply visiting their local grocery store without potential incarceration, so the prospect of descending upon another country should have sounded alarm bells. It did not. The family happily made reservations and purchased tickets and packed suitcases. And then they headed for the airport.”
Thus begins the eye-opening tale of what can happen when a group of relatively-decent people is dropped into a foreign land, under the supervision of a somewhat-neurotic leader who would much rather be doing anything else other than leading. It’s fair to say that neither the family nor the country of France was prepared for this expedition. Harsh words have since been spoken, and certain legal restrictions are now in place to hopefully prevent the particular chain of events that led to this family nearly losing their collective minds in the City of Love from ever happening again.
Despite the litigation and the finger-pointing, the family, overall, had a smashing time during their Sojourn on the Seine, and they fervently hope that other families and adventurous friends and domestic partners take advantage of France-focused travel opportunities. Still, there are certain things that potential participants in the Parisian Parade should know, if only to prevent that startling moment when your own family turns against you and hurls your annoying ass off the top of the Eiffel Tower.
In the interests of providing the right cautionary notes to the unknowing public, the family turned to the one person who had reminded them daily during their week in Paris that performance expectations were not being met: Beaumont, the anxiety-riddled tour guide during their Week of Infamy in a Land That Was Not Their Own. “Tell the people what they must know about how to behave properly in a country where you don’t understand the language!” they exclaimed, waving lit torches they had found on an abandoned set from Survivor: Loire Valley.
Actually, no one exclaimed or waved anything, yet Beaumont presumed that they did, because he has unresolved issues. He was quite enthralled by the opportunity to put pen to paper and vent about how his family nearly destroyed his sanity in the span of seven days.
And this is his story…

Author Bio:
Brian was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma on a cold January day in 1965.
Clearly, the odds were already against him.
But he persevered, slugging through this and that, and he quickly learned at a very young age that some people can achieve greatness with dedication and hard work, some people are destined to awe the world with their ineptness and lack of admirable qualities, and most people are quite happy to simply plod along in the middle, leading pleasant but mundane lives where they occasionally find a stash of misplaced quarters under a sofa cushion and everybody gets to go out for ice cream.
Brian was not impressed with any of these options. He looked up from his paperwork at the Life Goals Development Center, and studied the applicants around him. Everyone else was quickly selecting one of the three avenues, shoving their completed forms at one of the bored administrative people, and then rushing out the door, because “Charlie’s Angels” was on TV in a few minutes and you couldn’t really miss THAT.
In frustration, Brian turned over his application, intent on writing a scathing missive to Whoever Was In Charge that he really didn’t appreciate the skimpy menu of opportunities, and he noticed a fourth career path, hastily scribbled in by someone with vision: “Some people feel compelled to study the world and people around them, and then stay up all night writing down their thoughts on the matter.”
Brian smiled, checked the box, and added his signature with a flourish. And so it began.
Unexpected Wetness by Brian Lageose
About Unexpected Wetnessby Brian Lageose
The world is filled with classic books about loving families overcoming incredible odds so that they can grow even more adorable as a unit, bursting into song at any given moment and wearing matching clothing during boating adventures in non-polluted streams. Next thing you know, producers are knocking on the door and the glowing story has been turned into an inspirational mini-series that is life-affirming, smile-inducing, and contains no trans fat.
This is not one of those stories.
Instead, we tag along with a less-perky family as they navigate the startling minefields of a modern amusement park, a questionable lark that someone in authority should have nipped in the bud but, due to budget cuts, there was no one around with any sense. Wild-eyed and filter-free, they tromped naively through the gates of Six Flags, unaware that they would soon be dealing with vehicular malfunctions, copious tears, regrettable language, the tragic loss of a halter top, and very little singing. (Unless you count the dancing pig.)
Life is too short to make poor entertainment decisions. Or wear ugly shoes.
In the event that your own family should ever develop a hankering to attend a themed venue involving hydraulics and splashing, this mini-travelogue will be more useful than those long ago black-and-white safety films that instructed you to dive under your flimsy school desk should an atomic bomb drop from the sky.
Or you can just read this story for the funny bits. No harm in that. Just be sure to wear something waterproof…

Fire War by T.T. Michael
About Fire War by T.T. Michael
This intriguing, futuristic thriller conceives of a terrifying future for the United States.
In his thought-provoking book Fire War, T. T. Michael creates a country where the highest office is no longer elected by the populace and there is no longer unemployment—where the only real fear is of the terrorist group Hariq Jihad (Fire War).
Gunnery Sergeant Anthony Jackson is charged with protecting the president of the United Continental States of America (UCSA). As Jackson comes to the realization that not everyone is happy with the current situation in the country, everything he holds dear is imperiled. What will happen to the country, and Jackson, if the concepts of personal liberty and the safety of the country cannot be balanced?
Michael’s futuristic political thriller has a chilling ring of truth to it. As current events unfold, comparing Michael’s fiction with today’s reality sometimes becomes overwhelming. Michael describes a world where personal liberties and individual rights have vanished for the good of the group. No one has a say in who runs the country or what decisions are made by the president, a man that everyone trusts…but should they?
Tapping into our fears and trepidations, Michael has written a story that hits close to home for anyone who follows current events. In one instance, he writes that “immigrants had to learn that the only way into the UCSA was the legal way, and that they would risk death by trying anything else.”
Anthony Jackson is an interesting protagonist. He is a rule-following, hard-charging marine who clearly loves his family and country. He takes his position guarding the president very seriously, yet he seems to ignore some of the signs of impending trouble that one would expect a razor-sharp military man to catch. This seems to be Michael’s way of creating a Greek tragedy format: the chorus singing warnings in the background, with the fallible hero ignoring them until it is almost too late.
Jackson’s struggles with his daughters, particularly Maya and her “radical” ideas of personal freedoms, feel real. Even into this future, teens are still testing limits and putting their parents in difficult situations. Jackson’s everyday family life adds significantly to the tension of the story by making us know about and care for the people he is most interested in protecting…after the president, of course.
Thriller fans will find this book intriguing and, to some extent, terrifying in its plausible predictions for our future in the United States.
This thriller comes in ebook, print and audiobook formats.
