   Short easy to read solutions to your eCommerce problems.

   Most of my books can be read in under an hour. The information in them can be put to work immediately to help you sell more products on eBay and Amazon, services on Fiverr, or eBooks on Amazon and Kindle.

   Selling on line isn’t a mystery. It doesn’t even have to be difficult.

   It’s really all about getting started. Many people I’ve talked with have this crazy fear about putting things up for sale on eBay and Amazon. They think they have to do this and do that; they worry they don’t know enough about what they’re doing to do it right; they wonder what they should sell; and they worry about whether they can even do it or not.

   That’s where my books come in.

   They take you hand-in-hand and walk you through getting started selling on eBay, Amazon, and Fiverr. They show you how to market your Kindle book.

   You’re still going to make mistakes, and get lost now and then. But, you can always come back to the books for another nugget of advice, or a little bit of inspiration. Believe me, I’ve been selling online for fifteen years, and I’ve made just about every crazy mistake out there. I just never let any of them stop me.

   My goal is to help you over the speed bumps, so you can be more successful from the get-go.

   What are you waiting for?

3. Great Moments in Phallic Portraiture (And Other Dirty Pictures) by Steve Melcher

   About Great Moments in Phallic Portraiture (And Other Dirty Pictures) by Steve Melcher:

   The syndicated comic strip, “That Is Priceless,” has become a web phenomenon by giving hundreds of famous art masterpieces 21st-century facelifts with hilariously irreverent new titles.

   Now, “That Is Priceless” is taking its business straight into the gutter, with the brand-new collection, “Great Moments In Phallic Portraiture (And Other Dirty Pictures).”

   From “If George Washington Had Lady Parts” to “The Mona Lisa Experimenting With Girls In College” to “Women Discussing Suitor’s Proposal of a 3-Way,” this book is infused with the strip’s signature slow-roasted blend of high-brow art and smart-ass humor. And chock full of “Priceless” masterpieces so raunchy, Mary Cassatt will have to excuse herself from the room.

4. The Impossible Lover by Dara Fogel

   About The Impossible Lover by Dara Fogel:

   Embark upon a journey of eternal mystery and peculiar devices!

   When a shady deal goes sour in Victorian-era Italy, Lieutenant Colonel Christopher Jordan Haldane is forced to confront the Illuminati and his own inner demons. He is drawn unwitting into the eternal battle of the forces of light and dark, as he seeks to unlock the vast potential within. Can he solve the riddle of Villa D’Amici and save his beloved Sophia before the forces of darkness overtake him?

   Setting a unique vision of the Holy Grail amidst a tender and passionate love story, a profound journey of the awakening soul begins.

   The Impossible Lover is Book I of the GrailChase Chronicles, the mind-boggling series of expanding consciousness and strange technology. Written by Dara Fogel, philosopher and best-selling author of Before the Chase: A Short Anthology, the GrailChase Chronicles challenge traditional beliefs and definitions of reality.

   “The DaVinci Code meets Steampunk with Frank Herbert’s Dune flavor crystals.”

   Quite possibly the first novel series to explore the import and implications of Subjective Reality, the series is an epic metaphysical romp through a possible alternative history of Christendom. In this view, Jesus did not die on the cross, but rather, like in Scott Brown’s “The DaVinci Code” fathered a family with Mary Magdalen, which spawned a whole esoteric tradition of blood and faith, that survives into modern times.

   The GrailChase! Chronicles revolve around the fundamental ethical question:

   What would happen if a Victorian imperialist discovered he was the descendent of Christ & had super powers, which he had to choose to use to help save humanity or use for his own selfish goals?

   Yep, that’s right out of Plato’s Republic for you philosophy wonks out there (and you know who you are!), but with a whole lot more sexy, Steampunky, heretical fun!

5. Score by Gina Watson

   About Score by Gina Watson:

   Caleb sensed the warm naked body in bed next to him. He knew it was Chloe but what he couldn’t figure out was why. He’d grown up next door to her, had teased her relentlessly. And she’d hated him for it. Memories from last night of the curves she’d grown into had his mouth going dry. He’d had no words with which to tease, all he could do was moan.

   Had Chloe actually had sex with a man she’d hated for a decade? A full percussion section was banging in Chloe’s head as the memories came to her in pieces—martinis, dancing, his hands, his hardness. God, he’d been solid male muscle. This can’t be happening. Hadn’t she made a commitment to herself to settle the score with Caleb if given the chance? Instead, she was right back where she was all those years ago, panting after him in all of his unobtainable glory.

   Will their obvious sexual attraction be enough to cut through years of hate?

   Author Bio:
   I lead a double life. By day I’m training young women to become speech therapists. At night I sip red wine, dial down all distractions, and sink into the fictional worlds I create. Good tunes on my iPod are a must. I get so caught up in my characters that I truly wish the male hero would materialize in the flesh; especially when I see the cover image…I swoon.

   I have spent the past several years working as a university instructor. My students are young adult females so I’m constantly running plot lines and book covers by them. They make a great beta team! I love my job at the university but there is something I love even more. . . romance novels. I’ll read any genre as long as there are steamy sex scenes and the standard issue HEA ending. Initially I was drawn in by the escape and sweeping emotion of it all, so much so, I began to create my own fictional world.

   Since I worked during the day my nights were consumed with writing. I was powerless to stop the stories that wanted to be freed from my mind. I actually started to get mixed up. I would think something I wrote at night was something I had said during the working day and vice versa. My friends were worried for my sanity but I assured them I had not gone mad, I was just writing. Once I started I wrote upwards of 3,000 words per day.

   It was in the early millennium when I became brave enough to share my stories with others. I began to post my stories on fiction websites and then something marvelous happened—I was followed by hundreds of eager readers. I loved my followers and their kind words helped motivate me.

   These days I am writing books and I’ve learned some things about myself during the process. I like to write series novels because I have trouble letting go. I like a little plot with my romance, erotica, contemporary. Call it what you will, but I have to have a good story in which to sink my teeth. If I start writing a story I have to finish it, even if it’s terrible.

   My dog is my muse and when he tilts his forehead at me and blinks his large black eyes questioningly at me, I think he is worried I’ve been sucked into the wormhole of the very fiction that I write. I appreciate his concern but I have yet to fall down the rabbit hole. Here’s to everyone else in my boat, may our voyage become a permanent destination.

7. THE GIRL FROM LONG GUYLAND

   About THE GIRL FROM LONG GUYLAND:

   MEMOIR MEETS THRILLER Laila Levin enjoys a successful marriage and a thriving career as an I.T. executive in Austin, Texas, but she can’t quite shake her lifelong sense of not truly belonging anywhere.

When her company announces a major layoff, Laila finds herself caught between an unscrupulous CEO and her promiscuous boss. Then news of her college roommate’s suicide stirs up a dark secret involving three devious friends from her past. One has betrayed a vow, another wants to rekindle their romance, and the third is out for revenge.

   Suddenly for Laila, it’s 1969 again. She’s only seventeen, and she’s left her sheltered home in Long Island for college in Connecticut. Amid protests of the Vietnam War, she’s tempted by the sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll that rule her generation. Laila gets swept up in a deceptive love triangle with two older locals and initiated into their unethical hippie family. Too late she realizes her search to belong has led to tragedy.

   Laila must now juggle the demands of her perplexed husband, her successful career, and her baby boomer past, forcing her to make choices that endanger her survival and challenge her conscience.

   She learns that the lines between right and wrong are often blurred, and sometimes you have to risk everything to be true to yourself.
