About Coffin Dodgers:

They’re seeking the ultimate experience, but is the prospect of being dead in the next twenty four hours a thrill too far? Fourteen T-types make landfall on Apocritas – a newly discovered, earth-like planet with extreme sporting challenges to test one’s mettle. Only there’s an unanticipated additional event – dodging the bullets fired from two of the party’s self-appointed hunters. Climbing precipitous peaks, wing suiting from dizzying heights and white-water rafting down a torrent more hazardous than the Colorado, are just three of the stages to be completed. As if that wasn’t enough, the native prehistoric animal life is less than friendly. Enough of a challenge?
They thought they’d be earning accolades from fellow coffin-dodgers and a cash prize, but the greatest reward might just be their continued survival.
From the author of The Psychonaut comes this fast-paced tale of inter-galactic horror.

Author Bio:
Tom Adams is a horror and dark fiction author hailing from Brampton in the North of England. He has been writing stories since the age of eight, when he produced comic books inspired by Marvel and 2,000 AD.
His first self-published book came out in September 2015 and is a collection of short stories/novelettes entitled ‘Defiled Earth and other tales.’
In May 2016, Tom published his first full length dark fantasy novel called ‘The Psychonaut.’ This is a fusion of fantasy, horror and thriller genres and will be followed by a sequel in May 2017.
In October 2016, he published a collection of short stories and novellas entitled ‘Beasts, Brutes and Abominations.’ This cemented Tom’s reputation as an author who writes original work and stretches the imagination beyond its usual boundaries. His next book is a horror/sci-fi novella entitled ‘Coffin Dodgers’ and will be released on Amazon in January 2017.
His literary inspirations are as varied as Tolkien, Stephen King, Clive Barker, Michael Connelly, Vonnegut , Bradbury, and, more recently, Craig Clevenger and Adam Nevill.
He is also an audio book narrator and currently has three books out on audible.
Finally, Tom has many interests which feed into his muse – hard rock and alternative music, philosophy, politics and spirituality. When he’s not composing, writing or reading, he enjoys the open air – walking and road biking. You can often find him pacing the trail along the Ridge and the Dandy in Brampton, but if you greet him and he seems to ignore you, don’t be offended. It’s probably because his mind is elsewhere concocting diabolical plots and characters.

About Cooking from Scratch, 1950’s Style by Nikki Victoria:

From the attics of many great cooks before us come recipes that the modern cook can use and appreciate. These are some of the hardest recipes to find as they have not previously been in circulation in this form before, as far as the author is aware.

There were several recipes that the author had to research – yes, on the 21st century internet! – what some of these items and terms really meant. Such as when one recipe suggested to use 25 cents worth of glace cherries! Now, who knows how many cherries that would have bought when this particular recipe was written? Nikki tried to leave the recipes word for word, as they were written, and made notes along the way at the bottom of some, as she progressed through this recipe book. You may need to make your own notes along the way, as your methods and references may be different than hers.
These recipes are from the old school – no, not the 1800’s! Nikki’s Mom and her friends were not that old when these recipes were being used. Here you will find some easy recipes that she hopes you and your family will love. They are simple and nutritious and can be made from the usual ingredients you have in your home. Not all recipes that were found in Granny’s attic mentioned the oven temperature or the length time for cooking, so temperatures that Nikki believed would work for you have been added.

Nikki feels that one of her very favorite recipes in this book is the Christmas Cake one. This is the same recipe that brides have used for years to make their own wedding cakes. If you have ever been at a wedding where the bride and groom cut the bottom layer of their wedding cake and pass around pieces to all their invited guests at the reception later, then this is that recipe. There are other great meals in here as well though, such as casseroles, salads, meat pies, meat recipes, vegetable recipes, and the like. All from the 1950’s cooks that knew how to put a real meal on the table for their families. Nikki knows that real meals are still served by great cooks today, but these recipes from the mid 20th century are just so simple and easy to make that even your children can help you create the aroma in your kitchen that will just make the family want to “gather ’round”.

She has just recently taken up the ebook writing penchant and is truly enjoying it, although there are times when there do not seem to be enough hours in the day to accomplish those that she wishes to write. So stay tuned. There will be more!

Nikki loves to cook so it was only understandable that she write a cookbook or two (her other one is “Nikki Victoria’s All Time Favorite Recipes” and is also available on Amazon. She makes these over and over again and continually gets requests from her guests for copies of them. So she hopes you enjoy them as much as you enjoy the Cooking from Scratch ones! In her spare time, Nikki also golfs and reads a lot….she says she reads too much! How can one read “too much”? Never!
