Hail to the King by Michael Anderle  

Hail to the King by Michael Anderle

Men Will Be Men.

Unfortunately, the women are in no position to stop nature’s course.

** AMAZON Top 100 Best Selling Author **

Tyler has figured out an additional way to make money off Brownstone.

But Brownstone has to agree, first.

Brownstone gets a request from his hacker support after doing a job for the Professor.

It seems she might have upset someone close to home.

Will Tyler piss off Brownstone and end the bar’s neutrality, or has the Professor found someone with enough magic to take Brownstone out and asked for a favor?

Either way, James is walking into the job with his eyes open.

In the end, bounty hunting is a job, and Brownstone was working it before he met Shay or Alison.

Sometimes you can’t change who a man is supposed to be.

Scroll back to the top, and click “Read for Free” or “Buy Now” and kick back for a fun, action packed adventure that will have you yelling for the good guys, and laughing at just how much Brownstone can infuriate Shay.

NOTE: This book contains cursing. Perhaps humorous cursing, but cursing nevertheless. If this offends you, I don’t suggest reading this book.

Author Bio:
Michael Anderle, (1967 – ??) was born in Houston, Tx. A very curious child, he got into trouble – a lot. What to do with an inquisitive mind when he was grounded? Read! In the first 20 years, Michael mostly read Science Fiction and Fantasy. In the last 10 years he has enjoyed Urban Fantasy and Military Fiction. With this background, he’s been created The Kurtherian Gambit series, a well-selling, and fan loved, collection of stories, and many other series.

The fans have propelled these stories beyond my wildest imagination and they should get all of the credit for sharing with friends, family and occasionally the random person on the street. They are fantastic!



Do No Harm by James B. Cohoon  

Do No Harm by James B. Cohoon

2020 American Fiction Award winner for Best Medical Thriller

Doctors go to medical school to save lives… right?

When Matthew Preston was eight, his father was shot and killed in rarefied Pacific Palisades by Ted Nash, a home burglar who happened to be the Preston’s neighbor. Though Nash was sentenced to life in San Quentin, Matthew’s lifelong obsession is to somehow get into the prison, gain access to Nash, and exact the ultimate personal revenge. He devises a plan to become a prison doctor to gain access to Nash.

While in medical school, Matthew falls for brilliant classmate Torrey Jamison from poverty-stricken East Palo Alto. Torrey is battling her own demons, having been raped by a school counselor while in high school. Matthew is focused on vigilantism; but he loves Torrey who is morally opposed to killing for any reason—or so she thinks.

What Happened in Vegas  

About What Happened in Vegas

Whoever said what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas is a damn liar.

I’ve done everything I can to try to forget Mr. Last-Name-Unknown—and his dig at my job as a social media influencer.
But forgetting his words, or more importantly, the attraction we shared pre-insult seems nearly impossible. Especially when I end up stuck in an elevator with him in NYC. And he’s infuriatingly gorgeous—wearing a suit that looks like it was made specifically for him. It probably was.
Sparks definitely fly—only it isn’t just anger. The attraction we felt in Sin City still sizzles between us. And his abs of steel and killer smile are definitely affecting my lady parts.
I probably shouldn’t forgive him. Besides, I’m leaving in a few days… Yet, the silver-tongued lawyer manages to work his way back into my good graces…and into my bed.
So, can what happened in Vegas lead to forever in New York?

Author’s Warning: What Happened in Vegas is a delicious lovers to enemies and back to lovers that will give you all the feels. It’s filled with scorching banter, a grumpy hero, sexy scenes, and several laugh-out-loud moments. No cheating. No cliffhangers. Guaranteed HEA. Scroll up and one-click your copy today!

Britney Mills was born in Utah but parts of her heart lie in Boston, Washington D.C. and Germany.

Now she writes about romance. Go figure.

SMART Objective Setting for Managers: A Roadmap by Irial O’Farrell  

About SMART Objective Setting for Managers: A Roadmap by Irial O’Farrell

Every year, its “that time of year” again! Millions of managers around the world knuckle down to having to set objectives for their team. Many of those millions of managers view it as a wasted exercise, just something to be “done” with very little expectations of a radical lift in performance. But what if there was a way to design objectives that lead to real change in outcomes? What if there was a way to design an objective that dealt with soft performance issues like “poor communication skills” or “influencing others”?

SMART Objective Setting for Managers sets out the 4 main struggles managers have with objective setting:
1. Defining the desired outcomes of performance
2. Diagnosing team members’ individual starting points
3. Defining tangible objectives for “soft” behavioural performance issues
4. Understanding what can go wrong in the communication process, when agreeing objectives

The book then unpacks each of these struggles and creates a roadmap for how to effectively design objectives that truly are achievable and motivating for the individual. This approach puts the individual very much at the heart of the process while also very firmly placing the required performance within the context of the individual’s role and the organisation’s objectives and purpose.

Told through story, the book is engaging while also insightful. One reader’s feedback was “I’ve already discovered things I’ve been doing wrong for 25 years and I thought I was good at setting SMART objectives!”

So, if you’re ready to develop a high performing, engaged team while freeing yourself up to focus on your own career, get this book today and start reading!

Author Bio:
Workwise, Irial’s two favourite activities are figuring out what makes people tick and making sense of performance dynamics within organisations. She first realised the former in her first job in Sydney, Australia. She was fascinated with why everyone loved one manager and avoided the other manager like the plague (forgive me, it was well pre-Covid). Chalking the fascination down to a one-off, it turned out it followed her to Boston and back to her native Dublin, through careers in Financial Services operations, management, learning & development into executive coaching, leadership development and strategy consulting. It culminated in Irial becoming Ireland’s first Accredited Master in Change Management in 2020.

As it turns out, Irial’s third favourite work activity is writing and she definitely gets an itch to write every so often. So when Covid hit earlier this year, she got back into the saddle, after a 9 year hiatus, and wrote this, her second book. It’s based on her own experiences of developing several high performing teams and also her insights from developing and coaching over a thousand managers and leaders. Her real driver to writing the book is Chapter 8. This chapter sheds a serious amount of light on how to actually design and structure a SMART objective that develops or finesses a person’s “soft” interpersonal skills. Irial has even worked with managers to design objectives around such nebulous topics as “building trust” and “judgement”.

In her spare time, Irial loves reading (surprise, surprise). She loves a good management book but she also enjoys Marian Keyes, Michael Connolly, is an avid Harry Potter fan and enjoys fantasy trilogies (looking at you, Lord of the Rings and The Hunger Games). She also loves running to keep fit, yummy food, travelling and her family.

About Checkout: The Step-by-Step, 7C Method to Build a Dominant Ecommerce Brand

Author Bio:
eCommerce is evolving, and the only way to stand out today is with a compelling brand. If branding is the answer, why is hardly anyone using it? Because branding is profoundly misunderstood among eCommerce executives and entrepreneurs. And because there’s virtually no guidance on how to make branding work for the unique challenges of online shopping – and traditional retail branding won’t cut it.

Neil Verma is on a mission to change this. In his first book, Checkout, Neil provides an easy to follow, step-by-step branding process designed exclusively for eCommerce. Core to his teaching is that branding is simply the only competitive moat you can build today, and while digital marketing is an important part of this larger strategy, continuing to rely on it alone will only leave you trapped in the feast-or-famine cycle.

Neil is the perfect teacher in this arena. Although he currently is the Founder of eBrandBuilders, he started his career, following an Ivy League MBA, in the corporate branding world. There, he managed a $100 insurance P&L, spearheaded the launch of a new bank, and executed the digital strategy of another retailer. 7 years ago, tired of the corporate grind, he resigned to forge his own path in eCommerce. And quickly failed. Twice.

It was then he reached back into his roots, and rigorously applied his branding experience to analyzing the top 100 eCommerce companies in order to discover how branding works online. From this, he distilled the 7C’s of eCommerce branding, a process that helped him launch 3 eCommerce businesses in the health beauty space and grew them each to 7-figures. And now with eBrandBuilders, in the last 2.5 years alone, has helped dozens of eCommerce business grow from thousands to millions in revenue a year.

When he’s not chained to his MacBook, Neil loves to play squash and rarely turns down a night of dancing to his favorite house anthems. His culinary skills are confined to a mean omelet, but it’s a hell of an omelet. And such are his culinary skills otherwise that his favorite meal of the day is a nightly blend of 4 cereals. He’s also a travel nut and has visited over 40+ countries. Originally from Calgary, but now living in Toronto, he always looks forward to escaping Canadian winters.

Faking it with the Demon by Rhiannon Hartley  

About Faking it with the Demon by Rhiannon Hartley

With a deal made in Hell, what could possibly go wrong?

Being a torturer in Hell is not all it’s cracked up to be. For Zoephus, it has quite literally sucked the life right out of her. She takes no pleasure in tormenting the souls of the damned and wants nothing more than to be mortal again. So when a warlock dangles the promise of her greatest desire in return for something else, Zoephus jumps at the opportunity. How hard could it be to play the fake girlfriend of a human?

Jilted by his fiancée, Ryan is in no rush to get into another relationship. Too bad his well-meaning family doesn’t get the memo. When Ryan casually jokes about getting a fake girlfriend to stave off his family’s constant meddling in his love life, he wasn’t expecting his pal to grant his wish like a damn genie in a bottle.

But Zoephus is nothing like what Ryan expected of a demonic houseguest. Since when are demons beautiful, oddly polite, and hilariously ignorant of the modern world?

Bound together for fifty days, the lines of real and pretend begin to blur, emotions inevitably get involved, and yearnings intensify. But when truths and vulnerability are laid bare, hearts could be left shattered.

Can a heart moulded in the flaming depths of Hell truly love?

Faking it with the Demon is a feel-good, heartwarming fake relationship romantic comedy that’s devilishly good fun. Set in sunny Sydney, this standalone romance promises cosy charm, no cliff-hangers, and a guaranteed HEA.

Home should hold back the shadows not create them

Author Bio:
Ex actor, psychiatric nurse, private pilot and sculptor, Deirdre, writing as D M Macdonald, turned to writing the crime fiction she has loved all her life, when her children were growing up. Her early writing career stalled when a head injury sidelined her for many years. She recovered slowly and embarked on a Professional Writing and Editing Diploma to try to jump start her writing life. At first she could only write short stories and short plays. She won many awards with these but novels were her first love. In 2018 she finished the first of her new works and has continued non stop from there. This novella is an introductory work and the first full length sequel to it is under way. It has been a long journey but her sense of humour, a major component of her work, and her love of a rollicking yarn have seen her through. Her other great love is tennis and her preferred end is to drop dead on the court aged 101.
