Three Year Rule  

About Three Year Rule:

When renown psychologist and bestselling author Elizabeth Stewart first noticed Joshua Miller standing at the back of her audience she thought the tall, muscular man dressed like a lumberjack was in the wrong room. Little did she know Joshua would defy everything she ever wrote about relationships. Little did she know, he was also the key to her survival.

Elizabeth spent her entire adult life avoiding a serious relationship. As the leading written authority on relationships she couldn’t afford a failed relationship so she kept her liaisons casual and short term.

When she hired Joshua to build her mountain home deep in the Utah mountains she found herself attracted to the muscular, rugged construction magnate. Used to dating CEO’s and even Heads of State, Josh was unlike anyone she’d met before.

This laid back, rugged and sexy man challenges everything she believes. Especially the three-year rule she’s sold to the world. Beth’s theory touts everyone has a fake or pseudo personality that hides their inner self and shelters their secrets.

When a stalker enters her life, all the rules change and Beth quickly discovers rules are meant to be broken.

Author Bio:
I create alternate realities where magic and monsters are real but friendship/ love conquer all.

I have one of those brains that won’t turn off at night. Many nights I would distract my intellect by revamping a movie, book or TV show in my mind. I would twist and turn the plots and characters to achieve the ending I preferred. That developed into side stories about my favorite minor characters. Each night I fell asleep in the middle of a grand adventure.

It wasn’t long before I began to create stories of my own and put pen to paper.

Author Bio:
Leif Sterling has always had a rich imagination and an eccentricity for all things technical. He read every door-stoppingly, thick computer manual that he could get his hands on from the time he was twelve on. Not surprisingly, college yielded bachelors and masters degrees in IT for him, which has come in handy when describing futuristic nano systems that haven’t been invented yet.

He enjoys using his powers for good, especially in the craft of storytelling – dreaming up the barely possible, and then placing the reader right in the middle of the action.

Writing is also a great reason to stay inside, in the AC, away from the hot Texas sun where he lives with his beautiful wife, two children and one feisty cat.

Love You to Death  

About Love You to Death:

Rachel knows Ben’s keeping a secret but she can’t help falling in love with him.

Rachel Monteiro wanted to be classy and confident like the leading ladies in her grandma’s old movies. Instead, it’s always the same awkward song and dance with anybody she meets. Her insides turn to iron and words bolt from her lips. The one exception is Ben Telles, Rachel’s new neighbor.

With a horde of friends and no fear of taking center stage, Ben’s a natural born leading man. His enigmatic smile and relentless pursuit both disturb and delight Rachel. What starts as a simple case of “opposites attracting” quickly blossoms into a whirlwind romance. For the first time life is as close to perfect as she could imagine.

Rachel should be having the time of her life. But she isn’t.

Ever since her gossip-loving neighbor disappeared, Rachel’s dreams have turned to nightmares of her neighbor’s bloody murder. To make things worse she often sees herself or Ben at the killing end of the murder weapon. Rachel knows it’s crazy to blame Ben – or herself. If only she could ignore all the leads… or know for a fact what’s the difference between hallucination and reality.

Fans of Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl and Liane Moriarty’s The husband’s Secret will love Love You to Death.

Vivian Wolkoff has always been in love with words – even before she could read them. So, it should be no surprise she turned to writing and reading very early in life. She first self-published a poetry book at the age of 13, followed by two honorary mentions in contests promoted by a small publishing house in her native Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Then, she decided to do some living and find out what else she loved. After college and moving cross-continent twice, Vivian decided to turn to self-publishing again. She is the author of Showmance, the first book in a trilogy about a fake celebrity couple and their crazy fans, and, now, Love You To Death.

#Havana62: To the Brink of Nuclear War by Philip Gibson  

About #Havana62: To the Brink of Nuclear War by Philip Gibson:

What if there had been social media during the Cold War and the Cuban Missile Crisis?

This is not a story told in the usual book format. It is the story of the Cuban Missile Crisis told as if through posts on private social media feeds. The book follows the thoughts and actions of the main participants in the drama based on what those participants actually reported, or could have believably reported in private social media accounts, given who they were, what they knew and where they were at the time.

The year is 1962. The Kennedy brothers are in the White House. Nikita Khrushchev is in the Kremlin and Fidel Castro is in the Presidential Palace in Havana, Cuba. For a time, now widely referred to as “the most dangerous moment in human history”, these men hold the future of modern civilization in their hands as the world teeters on the brink of nuclear apocalypse.

Dang: The Dang Series Book 1 (Episodes 1, 2, and 3) by Rob D Smith  

About Dang: The Dang Series Book 1 (Episodes 1, 2, and 3) by Rob D Smith:

Dang: The Dang Series Book 1 (Episodes 1, 2 and 3) is a compilation of the 3 episodes of Dang and is the complete first book in the Dang series.

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.

Rob writes what he wants to read. That usually means silly, off the wall and sometimes nonsensical humorous stories. He likes eccentric characters with passion and tenacity, and stories that always leave readers with smiles on their faces.

Love’s Hidden Face  

About Love’s Hidden Face:

Jack King has just been released from prison for a murder he didn’t commit. He is not the same man that went into prison. He has had to do terrible things just to survive.

Jack is filled with rage at the injustice he has had to endure. His soul has grown dark, and he wonders if there is any way back from the darkness that threatens to engulf him.

Few believe Jack is innocent of the murder of his girlfriend, Kate, but he is determined to find the real killer and prove his innocence. Railroaded by a crooked district attorney and a prejudiced jury, he knows the odds are against him.

Georgia is the sister of Kate. Half of her hates Jack for killing her sister, but the other half is still in love with Jack and wants to believe that Jack is innocent. Her conflicting emotions are tearing her apart.

Nadine Sand is also attracted to Jack. Wild and looking for a thrill, Jack, an ex-con, is tailor-made for her, but Nadine could destroy Jack just as she has destroyed other men she has become entangled with in the past.

Then there is Ann Banks, Jack’s old girlfriend who dumped him in high school for a better prospect. She is having trouble forgetting Jack as her marriage dissolves around her.

Looming over all of this is Kate’s killer. If Jack gets too close, he could be the next fatal target.
