CAUGHT IN BETWEEN by Alison L. Perry
About CAUGHT IN BETWEEN by Alison L. Perry
She’s not like the others…
Sixteen-year-old Sadie is a vampire who faints at the sight of blood, trips over her own feet, and can only, at best, be called cute.
As the imperfect middle child in a perfect vampire family, she struggles to fit into a world where she is different from everyone else.
Forced to follow her parents’ wishes by attending University, the local finishing school for graceful young vampires, she soon becomes the laughingstock of her oh-so-perfect class. But when the most popular boy on campus comes to her rescue and calls her “beautiful,” Sadie becomes the target of a group of mean girls who rule the school.
Plagued by a series of embarrassing failures, Sadie is kicked out of University and must face reality: she doesn’t belong with vampires. And when a mysterious elder vampire seeks her out with vague and cryptic conversation, she’s even more convinced that something is amiss.
With no other acceptable choice for her future, Sadie must convince her traditional vampire parents to let her do something unheard of for vampires her age. But questions continue to plague her. Is she truly a vampire? Or is she something else?

He finished his career in education at the end of school year 14-15, retiring after ten years as a Gifted and Talented Education specialist with Howard County Public Schools in Maryland. Now all he wants to do is write – and read.

Preslee Jennings hasn’t felt safe enough to date in six years. But when she’s shoved into working with Matteo Cruz, soccer star and international sex symbol, she can’t deny her attraction.

The American commander finds himself fighting with the toughest antagonist of his career. He has finally met his nemesis. The stakes are high.

The Wordsmith by Alan Ayer
About The Wordsmith by Alan Ayer
Walt Erickson is a famous author whose books are read by millions of adoring fans, but he has never written a word of his own novels. The secret behind his novels is the stuff of nightmares.
With his agent, an associate, and a particularly unique typewriter by his side, Walt’s creative process is much more sinister and merciless than the average writer’s. The lengths to which one man will go to achieve fame and notoriety give a chilling glimpse into what humans are capable of, regardless of the moral consequences.
The Wordsmith is a thrilling and darkly innovative story of suspense, one that will force you to wonder if we can ever truly know the whole story behind the people we love. Is it possible to unearth the darkest details of ourselves and still come out alive?
As Walt’s hunger for fame continues to grow, and his girlfriend begins to suspect the unsettling truth behind his words, the tenuous threads holding Walt’s life together begin to fray.
From the astoundingly imaginative mind of Alan Ayer, The Wordsmith is a gripping narrative that dares to peer into the shadows of the darkest aspects of humanity. Our story—our fate in life—is often written against our will.

And although Dylan is a Welsh name meaning god or hero of the sea, he is not particularly fond of large bodies of water. His last name, Callens, might be Gaelic. If it is, his last name means rock. Rocks sink in the sea. Interestingly, he is neither Welsh nor Gaelic, but rather, French and German. The inherent contradictions and internal conflict in his life are obvious.

Dead Ass Broke.
Divorced.
Single Father.
My new life isn’t glamorous and people love to judge and label. The groupies have dried up and all that remains after my ex-wife stole all my money and left the country is my hell hole of an apartment and a beat up car I won in a shooting contest my rookie year. But none of that matters to me. It’s all about my precious little girl. My heart. My soul. She’s sick and she’s hurting. There’s a special trial at the Mayo Clinic but it costs six figures. I’m uninsured, and the only thing in my bank account is a string of zeros.
So when temptation makes its siren’s call inside a hotel bar. I answer. How hard could it be? Escorting rich, powerful women around town? Besides, I’ll do anything.

Tempting me.
Threatening to destroy me with one look. One touch.
It wasn’t supposed to turn into this. She’s a trick. A sexy means to a desperate man’s end. In spite of the raging chemistry between us, she’s veiling her angel’s light behind an icy exterior. And she’s got her reasons to hide. Especially, from a man-whore like me. I’ve been reduced to a pathetic shell of the man I used to be. I’m someone would could drag her down from her ivory tower running one of the most powerful tech companies in the world into the cesspool of my meager existence. And I can’t. I won’t.
We both know this is a one-time thing. No repeats. Bought and paid for in a simple transaction. But I don’t think I could ever be finished with her. She calls to me, salving my pain and despair with her kindness and vulnerability. But even she can’t help me and my beautiful Jessica. No one can.
Coming up with the money’s all up to me. Saving my daughter’s life is all up to me. And come hell or high water, I’ll get it done.

Braving the eye of the paper storm, I’ll be writing stories with sassy, curvy heroines and swoon worthy bad-boy book boyfriends who have an a**hole (there I go again) edge and hearts of gold. I might sprinkle in some romantic comedy along the way. By my side will be my fur posse, Starbucks espresso with cream and Cheetos. If my butt gets too big, don’t tell me. It will be our little secret.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading, enjoying and recommending the steamy romance stories stories that I write. When you share my work with others, it’s so rewarding. Your word of mouth is my very best friend … that, and your reviews. There is nothing more important to me than all of you.

Underground and Radioactive by R.D. Saunders
About Underground and Radioactive by R.D. Saunders
Capturing for posterity the vanishing world of uranium mining, this candid memoir recounts the author’s adventures and misadventures working underground in 1970s New Mexico, “The Uranium Capital of the World.” Detailed descriptions of the tools, methods and hazards of uranium mining, along with character sketches and entertaining anecdotes, provide a colorful glimpse of a bygone way of life—drilling, blasting and mucking the sandstone of the Grants mineral belt in the San Juan Basin.
Underground and Radioactive employs a self-deprecating brand of humor, which is at times pretty hilarious, but there is also a seriousness to the book. The idea that the life lessons learned were as important as any practical skills acquired comes through strongly, as does the respect, even reverence, conveyed for honest, hard work.
Most readers will notice, that even though these people and experiences could hardly be further removed from their own, the strong thread of humanity woven through this book gives it real resonance.
