About Tall Life by Sam Lochner

This is a book for tall people, those who relate to them, and anyone interested in height in general.

Being tall coincides with considerable professional, athletic, and social benefits. Yet there are also some problems, and these raise some questions. For instance, if longer levers and more cells really are behind increased risk of injuries and cancer, then how is it that giraffes get by? And why is it that society reveres tall stature but then compromises our safety with cramped cars and other things? And, as tall women might be pondering, where have all the tall, dark, and handsome men gone? Lastly, what can be done about all this? These questions and more will all be answered by a tall protagonist over eight chapters: Evolution, Scaling, Spine, Manufactured, Ergonomics, Growth, Longevity, and Society.

About A Stolen Rose by Amy Corwin

When the Earl of Wraysbury rescues a young woman from a carriage accident, he can’t resist her laughing eyes and wry sense of humor, even though their families have been locked in a feud for generations.

Anemone may be achingly lonely but she’s loyal to her family. When she wakes up after an accident in the strong arms of a handsome stranger, she’s immediately drawn to him, and appalled  when  she discovers he’s her family’s sworn enemy, the Earl of Wraysbury.

Neither Anemone nor the earl is prepared for the flaring attraction they feel, or for the escalation of the war between their families when a 40-year-old mystery triggers accusations of murder. Loyalty and the threat of a dangerous duel are destined to tear the lonely lovers apart unless they are willing to defy their families and take a chance on love.

About Gathering of the Chosen:

The mage known as Braim Kotogs is the first human to return from the dead, a fact which brings him more attention—and trouble—from mortals and gods alike than he wants. He doesn’t remember who he is or much about his past, nor is he interested in winning the Tournament of the Gods. But when a mysterious assassin nearly takes his life, Braim must enter the Tournament in order to survive and learn the identity of his assailant.

As the princess of a powerful nation, Raya Mana believes that she is destined to win the Tournament and become the new ruler of the world. But when she is assigned to a bracket that she loathes, Raya must deal with shattered expectations, in addition to an anonymous letter writer who claims to know all her darkest secrets.

Carmaz Korva has known only poverty and hopelessness his whole life, having grown up on an island that the gods have abandoned. But when he is offered the chance to enter the Tournament of the Gods, he sees an opportunity to restore his people to their original glory while remaining ignorant of the tragedy that awaits him at the end.

And with a mysterious and malevolent force plotting their destruction in the background, winning the Tournament of the Gods may be the least of their troubles.

About Out of Darkness by Lawrence W. Gold, M.D.

Don’t let the subject matter turn you away. At its heart the novel is inspirational.

Out of Darkness deals with the abhorrent problem of human trafficking, the fastest growing criminal enterprise in the 21st century, ranking second after drug smuggling.
There are more young American girls entering the commercial sex industry—an estimated 300,000 at this moment—and their ages have been dropping drastically—the average starting age is an alarming thirteen.
Out of Darkness follows Cynthia Lange from despair—her mother selling her into sexual slavery, to her rescue by the FBI, and her difficult transition to a prominent physician at Brier Hospital in Berkeley, California.
While she had escaped from “the life,” she can’t rid herself from its aftereffects. She deals bravely with them and begins a new life. While the FBI created “legend” obscures her past, circumstances threaten to reveal the truth and destroy all she had worked so hard to create.
We discover in this novel that the human spirit can triumph over evil.

This was a fantastic story with all kinds of unexpected twists and turns. The characters were so very well depicted that is was hard not to believe it was fiction. This writer is super and this is my favorite book so far. I highly recommend picking up some of his books-they’re all really wonderful.

Bio:
I was born in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn, moved to Queens, and then my family ascended to the Island.
After graduating from Valley Stream Central High School, I went to Adelphi, a college then, a university now, and then to medical school in Chicago.
The war in Vietnam interrupted my postgraduate medical training with a year in Colorado Springs and another as a Battalion Surgeon in Vietnam. I spent seven months in the Central Highlands with the 4th Infantry and five months in an evacuation hospital in Long Binh outside Saigon where I ran the emergency room.
I returned intact in 1968 to complete my training in internal medicine and diseases of the kidney, nephrology.
I worked for twenty-three years in Berkeley, California in a hospital-based practice and served as Chief of Internal Medicine and Family Practice and as an active member of the quality assurance committee.
We retired in October 1995 before fate could intervene. We sailed under the Golden Gate Bridge for a life at sea in Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean.
Four years later, exhausted from repairing everything on board, (often many times) we sold the sailboat and within a year took the lazy man’s out; we bought a Nordic Tug trawler. We motored around Florida, the Bahamas, and the entire East Coast and Canada.
I’ve written fifteen novels, ten in the Brier Hospital Series, and one non-fiction book, I Love My Doctor, But…, a lighthearted look at the patient/doctor relationship.
I write primarily to entertain, but I can’t help but pass on to readers observations and beliefs culled from years of practice, and yes, my biases, too. In fiction, I strive for realism in portraying the medical scene that is gripping without being melodrama or gimmicky.
With even a minor degree of success in writing novels, comes responsibility to readers. I attempt to produce honest material that reflects my beliefs. Exposing these beliefs to the public through my writing requires courage, stupidity, or both. My fans have been generous, and although nobody enjoys criticism, I’ve learned much from that, too.
The novel that expresses most clearly my candor, and my bias, is For the Love of God. The novel reflects my attitudes toward those who are willing to sacrifice the lives of their children for their personal religious beliefs.
We live in beautiful Grass Valley with 11 year old Bennie, a Yorkie who just looks like he’s on steroids and Wesley, a 1 year old rescue, a terrier of some sort.

About Rum & Coke:

Imagine being kidnapped in a forbidden country whose language you don’t speak – and there’s no way home.

When a strait-laced American TV reporter is sent on assignment to Cuba, he is determined to keep out of trouble. But everything changes when he crosses paths with a beautiful and dangerous Cuban chica who calls herself Calypso.

Ulysses wakes up in handcuffs. His head pounding and his mouth gagged with his own tie, he desperately tries to recall what happened. Now, without his wallet or even his passport, Ulysses is at the mercy of his kidnapper.

Insisting that she is in the power of a Santeria love-goddess, Calypso forces Ulysses into the trunk of a 1958 Cadillac convertible at gunpoint. Then she drives him away from Havana, deeper into the heart of her forbidden island.

Uncertain if Calypso is a violent political activist, a common criminal, or simply insane, Ulysses knows he must find a way to escape – and soon. But he finds himself falling for his kidnapper…

Rum & Coke is a crazily off-kilter love story, and a modern odyssey of revenge, devotion and desire; but most of all it is simply the tale of a gringo, a chica, a Caddy, and a love-goddess…

Author Bio:
Jaxy Mono – the world famous “monkey with a typewriter” and the creator of “monkey lit” – is a highly intelligent tail-less Barbary Ape (Macaca sylvanus) from Europe’s only population of wild monkeys in Gibraltar.

As a young member of Gunnery Battery Troop, Jaxy (pronounced JAKH-see) had many opportunities to observe human behaviour and language close-up at the Apes’ Den. Jaxy then completed his education by stowing away in a tourist’s rucksack and traveling the world.

Jaxy creates his works by tapping, apparently at random, on the screen of a “borrowed” (i.e. stolen) iPad. Jaxy also thieves cameras, and he is a keen film-maker. His six hour documentary study of his left foot has won major prizes at several international film festivals.

Outside his artistic endeavours, Jaxy likes beer, bananas and his babies; and he dislikes fleas, being paid in peanuts, and zoos. His hobbies include foraging, grooming, playing tag with his offspring, rooting through trash-cans, and defecating in parked cars (do NOT leave your car windows open in Jaxy’s vicinity).

Despite overwhelming scientific evidence to the contrary, Jaxy doesn’t believe in evolution, as he simply can’t accept that he is descended from creatures as primitive as human beings; especially Creationists.

Jaxy Mono has asserted his inalienable moral right to be identified as the author of his works; and anybody who asserts otherwise will be nipped on the butt.

Hard.

About Touchdown: A Bad Boy Sports Romance:

The biggest touchdown of your life!

Alexa:
I hate him, but I want him…
I hate the emotional blackmail that my mom gives me for not being with Sebastian, the guy my mom wanted me to marry. I never wanted him. But if I don’t, my mom will end her relationship with me.

Martin:
I’ve always loved her, but I’m poorer than she knows…
Playing my last year in college as the star quarterback people thought I was, it was bittersweet. I hope I get drafted into the NFL to be able to help pay my family back for all they’ve done, and get them out of that trailer. But that would mean being far from Alexa.

She was the cheerleader I always wanted by my side. But man, she could be so stuck up sometimes! That was until our friends locked us up in the dorm and wouldn’t let us leave til we sorted things out. I have no idea what will happen next…

About Just a Monumental Summer:

She’s beautifully striking, yet conniving under her sheltered guise.
He’s a handsome and genuine musician whose next passion becomes her.
It is summer in pre-revolution communist Romania and the timing could not be any better…
The book is a story beyond words of unforgettable love, heartbreak and an inevitable growth. It revolves around Mona – a gorgeous woman surrounded by more men than she can want, in the very peak of an extraordinary summer. Used to getting what she wants, coupled with looks and brains to kill for, Mona signs up for a summer job to escape a pressured life and an illicit relationship with a married man –a big shot from the Communist Party. She then finds herself surprisingly drawn to a new life; a life of music and musicians, of the high spirited and free thinkers, of no worries.
Mona meets Alin and her life is slowly but seemingly turned around with a rock star romance, yet Mona’s desire for true love and happiness is overshadowed by her internal vacuum and struggles.
Readers have a front row seat on exploring the rock star romance between Alin and Mona – like
in an endeared reality TV show- of course, that is if the show revolves around sarcastic
quips, intelligent conversations and funny observations.
This is a feel-good tone story of love and unconventional affairs, laced with surprises
and treachery.
Any reader can relate to Mona – the strong female lead with a reality show-like lens, along with other characters in the novel with illicit romances, love affairs, betrayal and tests of the human psyche. Romance, comedy and drama intertwine to give the novel a personal touch, drawing all types of audiences in for this fiction.
Just a monumental summer is the first of a Women’s Saga. The second book of the trilogy will continue with Mona’s rollercoaster during the revolution and the third will wrap it up with her picturesque life as Romania transits into a powerful capitalist country.

This book is intended for mature audiences.

About From the Days of Dirt:

From the Days of Dirt is a brutally honest confession from natural-born troublemaker, Marcus Hastings. This funny and edgy coming-of-age fictionalized memoir is filled with stories of youthful misadventure, mischief, angst, and love. Set in Maine in the 1990’s, it reflects back to a simpler time before social media and smartphones.

Marcus’ cynical yet oddly refreshing perspective on what it means to feel alive finds humor and meaning in just about everything, whether that be setting himself on fire, falling in love, or being thrown in jail. Marcus’ true to life journal entries chronicle his crooked, haphazard journey through adolescence. Many of his recollections are timeless and relatable. We all had that crazy friend or that weird neighbor, and if not, now you do.

Due to the overwhelming support and response from other Cold War Veterans, his first book has been turned into a Cold War documentary series telling the history of the Cold War from the perspective of the veterans who served during this critical time in history.
