Wedding Bands
Ditched by her high school sweetheart, Callum Archer, on the night they’re supposed to elope, Jo Kendall casts out on her own, brokenhearted.
Over the years, Jo reels in a life she loves, centered on the outdoors, fishing (favoring a lucky wedding band lure), and her fine dining restaurant—a life that crashes away when her husband and business partner cheats her, leaving her bankrupt and alone.
Then her uncle dies, bequeathing Jo and her sister, Samantha, his rural property. Jo returns to Greenridge, determined to build a new business and permanent home—without the help of a man. Unfortunately Samantha wants her inheritance in cold, hard cash and hires a lawyer to get it for her, a lawyer who turns out to be none other than Jo’s long-lost love, Callum.
Jo’s fledgling plans—and her heart—are at risk once more.
If Jo can fight her insecurities, she might end up with a wedding band that doesn’t come with a sharp hook. But should she risk everything she’s worked for, yet again? Before she can decide, she needs to know: can a lost love truly be reclaimed?

Tomoiya’s Story: Escape to Darkness by C.A. King
About Tomoiya’s Story: Escape to Darkness by C.A. King
From the Author of The Portal Prophecies, comes the anticipated new series: Tomoiya’s Story –
a perfect addition to any Vampire fan’s collection.
Space travel. To some, it is an advancement; a way to meet new races, learn new traditions; explore new cultures – a chance to expand the mind with knowledge of the unknown. To others, it is nothing more than a new outlet of resources to exploit and destroy. To the naïve and trusting it is a recipe for disaster. The question of whether or not venturing into the realm of the stars is worthwhile is a topic that will be argued for generations to come.
The Universe – vast and never ending. It recycles within itself. What happened before comes full circle and occurs again. Some call it fate – others destiny.
Two different ages – Two vampire princesses.
Two stories – one written in a book – the other about to begin.
Escape To Darkness tells the tale of Allaynie, a vampire whose tears are worth a fortune. A chance meeting on her wedding day changes her whole existence.
~and~
Woden, a man to whom greed is merely good business. Hunting is his trade. He’ll do anything to collect her unique tears for profit, even chase her into darkness.
This novella explores an alternate explanation for the myths and legends that surround modern day Vampires and can be read as a stand alone story.

**BOOK IS ON SALE FROM $2.99 TO $0.99 FROM NOW UNTIL SEPT. 30TH.**
My job is to recruit him. Not have his baby…
Holden Cade is the filthiest, wildest, most hard-partying quarterback in pro football. A crude, rude, arrogant jock, and the only thing bigger than his ego is his-
Ugh, at least that’s what the tabloids say.
I’d prefer to have nothing to do with a self-obsessed prick like that. But as a talent scout for my father’s football team, I’m about to have a LOT to do with him.
But I’m the best there is in this biz. I don’t take crap from inflated egos like Holden Cade, and I am always in control.
That is, until I hear that filthy voice right in my ear, and until I feel his hands on my skin.
Until I let go for one night, and it ends up being the hottest one of my life.
Technically, I’m his boss now. Technically, continuing this dirty little secret is a breach of both our contracts.
Technically, there’s no way this could get more complicated.
Well, that is, until I find out I’m carrying his baby…
Whoops.
Holden Cade thinks he can make me his.
He might be right.

Sacrifice and Reward by Robin Deeter
About Sacrifice and Reward by Robin Deeter:
Mid-18th century North America is a hotbed of unrest between many Native American tribes, who are feuding over territory. By this time, most of the Kiowa bands have been pushed west by the Lakota, who are on the move southward from the Great Lakes region. These invaders from the north want the game-rich, lush pasture lands of the territory for themselves.
However, one small Kiowa band is determined to remain in their early homelands in the region of what will be one day known as eastern South Dakota. These two enemy tribes are brought face-to-face through the vision of a young Kiowa medicine man.
Sky Dancer, a beautiful, Kiowa widow, and proud Lakota warrior, Dark Horse, are forced to marry in order to create an alliance between their peoples. Right from the beginning they clash in a test of wills, loathing each other on sight, making a happy marriage seem out of the question.
Will the sacrifice that is asked of them save their tribes? Can these two enemies overcome their initial hatred to find love in unlikely place or will distrust keep them from the reward they both crave?

Laughter Paradigm: Having Fun and the Psychology behind
About Laughter Paradigm: Having Fun and the Psychology behind:
The Laughter Paradigm is a book on having fun & for having fun.
It is a hilarious short read EBook (about 11500 words) with a two-fold approach.
Primarily, it is meant to make you laugh, and you bet it will!
But then, there is something else. It also speaks about the subtle psychological nuances behind a hearty laugh and our thought patterns which help us appreciate or reject humor and fun in daily lives.
As you dig deeper, you will find answers to questions such as:
How do our Left Brain & Right Brain coordinate in detecting humor?
What are the differences between the genders on appreciating humor?
Which is the Best joke in the world? Who decided it was the best joke?
Among other things, this book also speaks about the various reasons we think jokes are funny, how being spontaneous can make you sexy, the reasons why we have no-laugh work environments and how to get over them, the way high achievers fight stress with humor and the various physical and psychological benefits of a good laugh.
Browsing randomly through the book will bring you on to numerous jokes and limericks strategically distributed throughout, each also illustrating a specific idea.
Who am I to write about it?
I am the Master of one of the largest ships in the world. Some would say my job is stressful and serious. There is no doubt my stakes are of the highest order. However, we do love to have fun! In dealing with thousands of people all over the world I felt that we are losing out on the importance of having fun. People are too serious with grave faces. Unlike other books in this genre, this one will talk about humor like never before because it comes from a person who has seen life in most of its forms.
I believe my book can give laughing clubs a run for their money.
