L.I.F.E. in the 23rd Century by Jason R. Richter  

L.I.F.E. in the 23rd Century by Jason R. Richter

Meet Pat McGewan-X04. Pat is a Patriot who spends his days watching robots build cubicles for corporations that keep getting blown up by those pesky terrorists in the soon to be won, we’ve got them on the ropes, 232nd year of the War on Terror. He’s content in his world of mediocre corporate coffee, vid-link chats with his wife who the government discourages him from ever meeting in person, and an endless barrage of travel bans, terrorist attacks, and never-ending nightly news emergency broadcasts.

But everything changes when a freak car accident puts Pat in the national spotlight. One minute he’s a hero for being the sole survivor of this week’s most recent terrorist attack, (but not long enough to get a commemorative coffee cup with his face on it before the next attack happens). In the next minute, the nation’s most vitriolic talking head has branded Pat the greatest threat to truth, justice, and stockholder profits — and the manhunt begins!

Pat has to decide between fighting the corporate-controlled media and possibly losing his life or giving in to his Academy training and lose his soul and possibly any hope of ever getting a decent cup of coffee. Welcome to LIFE in the 23rd Century: an absurd, light-hearted dystopian future to distract you from your horrific dystopian present. Brought to you by the makers of prescription Chillaxafed.

The Amber Crane by Malve von Hassell  

The Amber Crane by Malve von Hassell

The Amber Crane pushes the boundaries of time-travel fiction and of your imagination in this tale of a journey from the past into the present, set in two devastating wars three hundred years apart and steeped in the lore and legends of amber from the shores of the Baltic Sea.
Clutching precious amber found in a clump of seaweed, PETER, an amber guild apprentice in Pomerania in the waning years of the Thirty Years’ War, has a choice to make. Despite the severe penalties imposed on such an action, Peter keeps the amber and works on it in secret, with potentially disastrous consequences for people close to him. Meanwhile, unaware of the amber piece’s magical powers, Peter finds himself drawn into a world three hundred years in the future where he gets embroiled in the troubles of a mysterious stranger.

My Totally Elfed Christmas by Audrey Furnas  

About My Totally Elfed Christmas by Audrey Furnas

This Christmas, Adia Bell’s family doesn’t just want to buck tradition. They plan to chuck it out altogether. Which is a problem since Adia has had a rough first semester at Avery University, and she’s expecting homemade pie and Christmas preparations to fix everything.

Miller is a UPS package handler, who hopes the season will be over soon. He wants to keep a low profile and avoid notice. But when his merry new co-worker Adia befriends him, he finds it harder and harder to avoid holiday related things.

Will Adia and Miller find in each other a way to redeem Christmas, or will a short-term attraction only serve to derail both of their futures? This book is for romantics looking to have a laugh, shed a tear, and indulge in holiday charm.

This book is the first in a college holiday romance duology. The ebook will be free on Amazon July 21, 2021 to July 25, 2021.

Being Authentic: A Memoir by Morhaf Al Achkar  

Being Authentic: A Memoir by Morhaf Al Achkar

Desire to find your Authentic Voice? Learn the process to participate more authentically in the project we call humanity•••

◆ Rare are the spaces in which we can look inwardly at who we are. There is no horizon to do so more intimately than reading one’s biography. Reflect on what and who you are. What constitutes your core self? What should that be?

◆ While there is no such thing as an “Authenticity Expert,” you now have a viable alternative. Morhaf Al Achkar obtained his Ph.D in education and is currently a practicing family physician at the University of Washington. He was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. Since then, his research has focused on the experiences of patients living with cancer. His first book is based on interviews he did with 39 patients who live, like him, with advanced illness. He explored how these patients find meaning, cope, and build resilience. Using his own experiences and deep knowledge of philosophical concepts, Morhaf shares his understanding of authenticity from the perspective of someone aware of his own finitude.

◆ By following along with his fascinating life story, Morhaf invites you on a journey of dialogue and reflection to live a more authentic and purposeful life with integrity.

★ By engaging with the author’s story in Being Authentic™, you will:

– Garner the bravery to look at your own and be more authentic
– Strive to connect with the poet, artist, writer, dancer, and actor in You
– Learn how to heal, forgive, and let go of resentment to live a more positive life
– Develop better-coping skills and become more resilient in the face of pandemic-like events
– And much, much more!

Being Authentic: A Memoir™ is the second book in Dr. Alachkar’s self-help series. The first was on resilience and meaning.

◆ Dr. Alachkar’s Memoir shares genuine emotion, heartbreaks and great successes, and encourages us to be our authentic selves. This Memoir highlights our humanity’s purpose to share our story and of our fear of being forgotten after death and yet to live each day.

SEAL Daddy by Sofia T Summers

The only thing I have in common with my daddy’s best friend?
A child.
Oh wait, two children.

That’s right. He got me pregnant before skipping town for two years. Then he came right back and put another baby in my belly.
But that’s not the crazy part.
He doesn’t even know that my first child is his own flesh and blood.
I kept it a secret just as well as I’d kept my v-card for him.
He’s an ex-Navy SEAL.
Alpha, in control, and hotter than fire.
No wonder I couldn’t keep my hands off him.

But there’s a price to pay for everything.
My secrets come with consequences.
Secrets from my own daddy and from Jason.
And there will be hell to pay when he finds out that he’s the father of not one… but two kids.

Bitches Rule Happy Endings  

About Bitches Rule Happy Endings

It all started on February 12th, 2021 in Los Angeles, California. It was a rainy Valentine’s Day weekend. Kate and her girlfriend Amy needed to unwind after a busy day at the office.

They ended up at The Vault Nightclub and Lounge. It turned out to be a Valentine’s Day weekend, that Tim and his best friend Steve wouldn’t soon forget!

The opening scene takes place at Kate’s two-bedroom contemporary-style pink and white condominium. She’s a long-time resident of Mission Hills, California. Her condominium, with its in-ground Olympic size swimming pool, palm tree-lined red brick driveway, and emerald green lawn, is a sight to see.

This is the location where Kate takes her special dates. Sometimes, the lucky ones make it out unharmed.

Author Bio:
I became a writer by accident 5 years ago. I was going to promote a t-shirt design that I created on Facebook. I started writing about the t-shirt in a fictional story using Microsoft Word. Before I knew it, I had written over 4,000 words.

Seconds before I was going to post the story on Facebook, I saw an ad about publishing books on Amazon. The ad said that the book has to be a minimum of 5,000 words.

I never thought about being a writer, but that would be pretty cool. Now I just needed to add 800 more words to my story, and teach myself to write!

To make a long story short, with much trial and error, I eventually learned to write. At least that is what my co-workers tell me. You decide.



When Sorrow Takes Wing  

About When Sorrow Takes Wing

A YOUNG WOMAN GETS CAUGHT UP IN A REBELLION AGAINST THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT
After her brother is murdered on a citrus ranch in Southern California, a powerful man repatriates Mariana’s family back to Mexico at gunpoint. Her family struggles to make a living in Tijuana, a rowdy border town filled with tourists escaping Prohibition in the United States. Trying to better her life, Mariana ends up disgracing herself and being shipped off to her cousins in Guadalajara. There, she finds herself in a household of women involved in the rebellion.
It is the mid-1920s and the Mexican government is enacting laws to restrict and outlaw the Catholic religion. Federal soldiers are murdering Catholic priests and massacring whole villages of men, women, and children who do not comply. They are hanging men in trees and from the telegraph poles along the railroad as a warning—yet the people, who call themselves Cristeros, continue to fight.
As Mariana witnesses the sheer determination of people sacrificing everything for what they believe in, she must discover her own strength in order to survive and reunite what is left of her own family—or become one of the thousands of martyrs willing to die.

Mirror Mirror: A Romantic Ghost Prince Erotic Short Story (Horny Halloween Collection Book 8) by Veronica Hood  

About Mirror Mirror: A Romantic Ghost Prince Erotic Short Story (Horny Halloween Collection Book 8) by Veronica Hood

Nicolette likes cleaning the castle’s magical objects, but Prince Bastien loves getting them dirty.

Commoner Nicolette won’t do anything to jeopardize her position as the only castle maid allowed to clean the magical objects room. When charismatic Prince Bastien comes to play, Nicolette wants to save her job by doing her duties, but Bastien’s unending charms might convince her to do him instead. Discovering he’s a ghost shocks her to her core, but his inventive use of the objects around them in front of the big mirror threatens to blast through her last defenses.

Convinced she’s unworthy of Bastien’s royal affections, Nicolette can’t afford to be heard fooling around with him. His enduring mastery of magic pleasures her in all the right ways, and Nicolette’s never been loved like this.

Will Nicolette be discovered breaking all the rules and never set foot near the castle again? Or will she open a new door to unrivaled ecstasy with someone who truly values her?

Nicolette whined with desire, her whole body eaten up by fire at the very thought of him.
Bastien led her hands to the hem of his lavish tunic. “Now, take my clothes off like I’ve done for you. Our time for play is just beginning.”
