   About Temporarily Employed by Vicki Batman

   New job. New love. And murder.

   Hattie Cook’s dream job is down the toilet and her new SUV violated. Desperate for cash to cover the basic necessities of rent and food, she takes a temporary job at Buy Rite insurance company where she uncovers an embezzling scam tied to the death of a former employee–the very one she replaced. The last thing she wants is to clash with By-the-Book Detective Wellborn, no matter how much he makes her heart pound.

   Allan Charles Wellborn has secretly adored Hattie all his life. He evolved from a pocket protector-wearing geek to a handsome police detective. When the police determine there’s more to the death of a former Buy Rite employee, he steps in to lead the investigation. Overly dedicated, always perfect, he puts his job first, even if doing so ultimately hurts the one he loves.

   Can the killer be found before Hattie’s time is up?

   Coming Fall 2014 from The Wild Rose Press and other e-retailers.

   About Ebola K: A Terrorism Thriller by Bobby Adair:

   Ebola, Terrorism, and Hope

   In 1989 the Ebola virus mutated to into an airborne strain that infected humans for the first time on American soil in Reston, Virginia. Through belated containment efforts and luck, nobody died.

   Now, in the remote East African village of Kapchorwa, the Ebola virus has mutated into another airborne strain without losing any of its deadly potency.

   Can they do anything to protect themselves from this killer disease? Can they stop the terrorists?

   Author Bio:
   I’m just going to put this out there: I grew up with an irrational fear of Flying Monkeys. How is a little kid supposed to know that they only exist in Oz?

   I’m not a native of any state. I’ve lived in so many that I see myself as a native American, which works out for me since I am also fractionally a Native American to an improbable, yet significant degree. I lived more than half of my life in Texas and I have a great affinity for Austin. it is a wonderfully diverse city full of interesting people. I now live in Colorado where I enjoy spending my time in the mountains, cycling, hiking, or walking my dogs. Oh, and writing… I do that too.

   Author Bio:
   Priscilla Speicher has been writing since she was old enough to spell, entering poetry and short story contests throughout her school years – writing for the high school and college newspaper, and on it went. A career in advertising and PR lead to writing lots of that type of copy – press releases, articles, brochures, white papers, booklets, etc. Priscilla wrote many articles that were published in local and national magazines. But with a busy marketing career and 50 hour workweek, her plans to write books took a back burner. In the 2009, Priscilla left her salaried position and became a self employed marketer for small businesses. She has been self employed for five years, and realized how many other people dream of this situation. She also realized that many are not aware of the actualities of being self employed, and wanted to expose both the upsides and downsides of self employment, to allow people to make an educated decision on whether it was something they wanted to do. She is passionate about pets, saving dogs and cats from euthanasia, travel, writing, and people. She is extremely social, a lover of life. She is also passionate about healthy eating, and her next book will cover ways to eat vegetables without knowing it – lots and lots of ideas for getting vegetables into foods that non-veggie eaters like.

5. Dang: Episodes 1 & 2

   About Dang: Episodes 1 & 2:

   Trailer parks. Rednecks with ambition. Media coverage. Murder. Moonshine and a pinch of Skoal. Dang: Episode 1 has it all!

   Bootlegging. Conspiracy theories. Rasslin’ moves. Hot rods. Pistols and pursuing leads. Dang: Episode 2 picks up smack-dab where Dang: Episode 1 left off!

   Willem collects and sells “biofuel/fertilizer,” and he’s well over knee-deep in inventory. When Murven, his out-of-work best buddy, volunteers to help him with his daily collection, they discover Willem is stockpiling more than he bargained for as an “entre-manure.” Once the sheriff gets involved, Willem’s past and Murven’s general reputation slingshot them both to the top of the suspect list. With a little help, they escape custody and fight to clear their names of murder. As the news spreads, every redneck in the county and beyond — family, friend or foe — wants a piece of Willem and Murven’s 15 minutes of infamy.

   Dang is an easy, quick, and humorous read. But don’t let that fool you. The crime is complex and the motives run deep.

   Dang: Episodes 1 & 2 is a compilation of the first two installments of Dang: The Serial Novel.
