   “Fate kept pushing Talia to him over and over again a man who was everything she wanted mixed with everything she needed to stay away from. He had a power over her, she was drawn to the sweet seduction but it was worth it to know, to feel, to love.”
   “Emerson Rose knew just how to kiss her, how to make her melt into him, he knew where to touch her in all the places that made her body shake with pleasure. He knew her so well. As passionate as his kiss was, he was in no rush for it to end. He took his time with her, making it last as long as he could as he feared it would be the last time she let him touch her so intimately. They both enjoyed each touch, each kiss, as if they were both lost to the connection that drew them to each other. Talia had never been kissed so thoroughly or with so much tenderness or desire and he had never wanted to kiss a woman more. When he finally released her, she gasped for air and she stared at him and they both knew they would never be the same again. It would never work it was forbidden but they just could stay away.”

3. Paradise Rot

   About Paradise Rot:

   Kyle Brightman–late of the advertising industry and soon-to-be-late of the 5th floor psych ward–has a job offer he can’t refuse. A new resort in the Caribbean is looking for an art director. Kyle soon finds himself on the Isle of St. Agrippina working alongside a beautiful copywriter with an icy handshake. Questions arise: Why does the resort management team sport spray-on tans in the Bahamas? How can the resort offer such cheap vacation packages? What does one do with vats of Astroglide? To get the answers, Kyle must first navigate a series of wildly unpredictable events with a cast of even more wildly unpredictable characters, including a seductress jungle assassin, her partially paralyzed talking Chihuahua, an Ivy League Rastafarian seaplane captain, Kyle’s ex-psych ward roommate, a former Haliburton mercenary, and a French tavern owner with a fondness for goats, all set to the greatest hits of the 70’s. Pablo Cruise never felt so right.

   Larry Weiner is the author of PARADISE ROT (BOOK ONE) and ONCE AGAIN, WITH BLOOD (BOOK TWO). Larry earned a degree in film from CSULA and was an award-winning art director. And then he got the hell out of Dodge (advertising) and decided he was better at fiction for the greater good (entertainment) than fiction to make people buy shit they don’t need (advertising). He’d written two novels and a ton of scripts in his 20’s but doesn’t really count them as over 20 years passed since writing Paradise Rot. So really, let’s call Paradise Rot the first novel. He lives on an island in the Pacific Northwest with his wife, two kids and a gaggle of animals.

4. The Emperor’s Tree by Robert Meyerson

   About The Emperor’s Tree by Robert Meyerson:

   An American Christmas story.

   An illustrated short story based on the amazing life and times of the first Emperor of the United States. A heartwarming story for the entire family told by Emperor Norton’s most loyal followers… two rat-catching dogs named Bummer and Lazarus.

   It’s incredible but it’s true. America once had an emperor. His name was Joshua Abraham Norton. He was a South African who had arrived in San Francisco during the early days of the Gold Rush. And while many new immigrants ran off to the gold fields, Norton stayed and invested in land and buildings. After a short time, he became one of the city’s richest businessmen–until he and his partners got greedy.

   Norton came up with a scheme to corner the rice market. He put every penny he had into buying all the rice in the city. His warehouses were soon filled to the rafters. Within days the price of rice jumped higher and higher. People joked that Norton was an empire builder and was the King of Rice. There seemed no end to his success.

   Everything was going Norton’s way until two ships from Asia sailed into the harbor. The boats were filled to the gunnels with rice. Norton panicked. He tried in vain to raise money to purchase the valuable cargo.

   It was ironic. Norton, who caused the prices to spike in the first place, now couldn’t afford to buy another single grain. As soon as the shipment was unloaded prices began to fall. It was a calamity for Joshua Norton. His fortune was gone. His friends turned on him. He lost everything—including a bit of his sanity.

   He might have been broke but Joshua Norton was not broken… Not in a city like San Francisco. Soon this down-on-his-luck vagrant would become one of the city’s most beloved citizens.

   It was during his reign that Emperor Norton put up the first public Christmas tree in America.

6. The Oasis of Filth – The Complete Series by Keith Soares

   About The Oasis of Filth – The Complete Series by Keith Soares:

   From its seemingly innocuous beginning, The Oasis of Filth is the chronicle of the outbreak of a mysterious disease that ravages mankind. The story is told by a doctor in suburban Maryland who is on the front lines of discovering the disease, but finds himself quickly overwhelmed by a world that collapses into paranoia, fear and loneliness. He makes an unexpected connection to Rosa, a beautiful woman half his age with an inquisitive nature and inherent sense of hope and resourcefulness, and together they go on a sprawling journey across the eastern United States, finding danger, hope, and possibly even the salvation of the world. But their world is fragile, and soon tragedy strikes. The doctor must decide if love lost is reason enough to damn all of mankind, or if hope and salvation have many faces. He meets other survivors, some good, some not, and soon feels that his path, his decisions, are no longer his own to make. Finally, when faced with mounting injuries, both physical and mental, does he have the strength needed in a world where resources are scarce, life is cheap, and more than 60 years have already passed him by?

   From an early age, Keith has been fascinated by storytelling. This has been expressed in a number of ways: through art, music, even computer programming for game development. Ideas for various works of fiction have been rolling around in his head for a long time. Writing in earnest, however, did not start until late 2012. The Oasis of Filth is his first published novel.
