A welder learns she has the power to kill with a kiss. A hive of women transforms tourists with arcane sexual rites. A Korean War sniper stalks his doppelganger: a children’s television host.

−Elizabeth Hand
“The stories in Melanie Lamaga’s dazzling debut collection investigate the pleasures and the perils of abandoning mundane life in search of beauty and meaning. Her characters may have to risk their livelihoods, minds, and even lives to get at something rich and strange, but readers need only turn pages and follow the clear, simple, yet transportingly evocative prose.” −Brendan Moody

Goodreads Profile PageAuthor Bio:
I have a bachelor’s degree in photography and a master’s in creative writing. I’ve worked a great variety of jobs in my life (everything from limo driver to professional photographer to university writing instructor), but nothing comes close to the joy I find in telling stories.Currently, I live in Baja California Mexico with my husband, where we run an outdoor adventure business. Aside from that, I write, read, bike, swim, do yoga, cook, play with dogs and blog. I try to be very Zen about things, but the truth is most of the time I want to snatch as much life and art as I can in both hands … there is so much to learn and do.
Some people – when they hear that little voice that says leap – shut their ears, and go on about their lives, taking no risks, disappointing no one except themselves. Others take off running in the direction of change.
The older I get, the more I find myself wanting to advocate the leaping approach to life, despite the skinned knees and bruises that sometimes result. Without them, I wouldn’t quite understand the world. I wouldn’t have compassion for the mistakes and weaknesses of others. I wouldn’t be able to tell stories.
For me there are no distinctions between spirituality and work, or art and life. As much as people and places do, stories and ideas have the power to transform me at my foundations. I’m interested in books that wake me up or make me dream, those that explore the intersection of subjective and consensual reality, and the spaces we inhabit when we step more fully into our truth.

About The Ajax Protocol by Alex Lukeman
Book Seven: The Ajax Protocol
The Project is a Black Ops intelligence unit reporting only to the President of the United States. When an assassination attempt takes the President out of commission, the Project is caught up in a conspiracy that threatens to spark a world war and runs a lot deeper than just trying to kill the leader of the free world.
Led by Director Elizabeth Harker, the Project team discovers a cold-hearted plot to turn America into a totalitarian police state. Betrayed by powerful enemies at home and forced to rely on doubtful allies abroad, Harker and her team are driven underground. With time running out, they must stop the conspirators before they destroy everything America stands for. At the same time team leader Nick Carter and his lover, Selena Connor, struggle to commit to each other in a covert world where love and compassion are in short supply and enemies lie in wait at every turn.
The Ajax Protocol could be taken from tomorrow’s headlines. It will disturb you and keep you turning pages to the end.

- I Am Not Frazzle! (and other stories for grownups.) by Darren Worrow and others.
About I Am Not Frazzle! (and other stories for grownups.) by Darren Worrow and others.:I asked ten of my favourite self-published authors to contribute a story each to this project to raise some funds for The Devizes Opportunity Centre, a registered charity here in the UK that help young children with disabilities, ASD and learning difficulties get the help and support they need. My son attends the centre and they have done so much for him that this is my way of thanking them. All the proceeds of this book then, will go to this worthy cause.
I Am Not Frazzle is aimed at the child in every adult, it contains inspiring, amusing and entertaining stories. My cover story tells of a voice-over artist for a popular TV cartoon that ironically has a dislike of children until the day he has to use the voice of his character, Frazzle the Dragon to help a young boy in a coma. On the unexpected bizarre adventure he finds himself sucked into he learns a valid life lesson.
This is not the end though as other authors offer us a varied range of styles and genres based on the theme of childlike aspirations, Paul Howard writes a clever story of a child inspired by a meeting with Elvis, Holly M Kothe writes a romantic, history repeating tale, James Penhaligon offers us an African styled fable of a lesson learned by a baboon in true Kipling style. Nancy Brooks gives us an amusing tale of confession from a candy seller while Cecily Magnon goes on an all out fantasy adventure starting in a honest magic shop. Dave Darby sends up brief account of a man coming to terms with his memory loss. Graham Downs thrills with a story of school bullying while Richelle E Goodrich writes a fable of beauty from within in a classic fairy-tale style. Last but by no means least, Maria Miller gives a heart warming tale of friendship in an orphanage.
With all this in mind, can you really miss this one out?

- The Mystery of Spiritual Sensitivity by Carol A. Brown
About The Mystery of Spiritual Sensitivity by Carol A. Brown:I began telling stories when I had enough brothers for an audience. It was a crowd control technique as well as fun. However I didn’t become an author until recovering from an attack of MS–I was too busy teaching and doing ministry with my pastor husband.
In a society that values production and performance, highly sensitive people struggle to make sense of the overwhelming data stream that daily bombards them. The Mystery of Spiritual Sensitivity was written to give voice and vocabulary to how highly sensitive people experience life, to help them understand the dynamics that wounded them and caused them to hate the way are, and to bring healing to those wounds. It also touches on how this high sensitivity can facilitate and/or muck up the two most formative relationships of our lives: marriage and parenting.
It explains why God made some 20-30% of the population this way. Highly sensitive people are wonderfully and uniquely designed to be “special forces” in a spiritual war they do not realize they are in. Both sides to the issue of high sensitivity are presented—how it can complicate your life when you do not realize that is the “problem,” and how it can bless and facilitate relationships with others and with God.
Many highly sensitive people struggle with issues of self-esteem and worth, feeling that everything they sense and feel originates within themselves—this of course, is not true, but that is how it feels. Their responses to what they feel can make them feel crazy and others willingly confirm it! I am happy to say the “half the craziness you feel may not be your own!” Highly sensitive people are not crazy, just different from many—and that is a good thing!
Highly Sensitive, the companion volume is about spiritual fitness—building in the structures, habits, and disciplines that will enable you to do “the good works that were designed for you to do from the beginning” (Ephesians 2:10)…. This book is about the issues highly sensitive people wrestle with (trust, boundaries, identity, hearing God) and the inner structures needed to live a joy-filled life as a burden bearer, before the ‘gift’ kills you!
Who should read these books? Anyone, highly sensitive or not!
• Individuals seeking relationship with God and people
• Couples who read it together find it helpful in improving their marriages
• Grandparents interceding for family members and
• Ministry leaders wanting to understand those they lead
• Counselors and prayer ministers who “repair the saints”
People “not so sensitive” will find that they understand their weird relatives a lot better! Understanding is the most loving gift you can give the highly sensitive people in your life—and the remaining 70-80% not so sensitive can learn from them!
After writing these two books on high sensitivity, I didn’t want to write any more “hard” books. So, in quick succession the story lines were given for a series of children’s character building books. At this point, the first two have been published. I have a long list of TBW (to be written) books, both for children and adults. These will be written as I have the resources to do so.

- The Adventures of Sir Romeo Beau: Basset Hound Service Work Doggie
About The Adventures of Sir Romeo Beau: Basset Hound Service Work Doggie:
Sir Romeo Beau Basset Hound is one of the very first Basset Hound Service Work Doggies around. This makes him an extremely ‘unique’ Basset Hound. Sir Romeo has been very fascinating to the public however; while being that, he is always focused and adorable all the time he is out working. That is why he’s such a little celebrity.
These STORIES and ADVENTURES are about the two of them and how little Sir Romeo, in need of a wonderful new forever home went from being an adorable little hound, adopted from the Sun Coast Basset Rescue, to becoming my wife’s little ‘hero.’
The book itself is basically a combination children/adult Service Work Dog awareness book as told by Romeo’s point of view (he is an officially trained service work dog) and travels everywhere with my disabled wife.
From the Journals of Sir Romeo Beau: This book is the first of many children’s books to come. The ‘Sir Romeo Beau Basset Hound Work Doggie’ series is both heartwarming and educational to both children and adults alike. Basset hounds have been increasingly used in the public during recent years as therapy dogs due to their good-natured disposition, genuine gentleness, and their inherent love of children and the elderly. Romeo takes this a step further by having become an actual Service Work Dog dedicated to assisting his mommy with her disabilities – this makes him extremely unique in this sense.
From our experience in the public, Service Dog Awareness is a topic that few people fully understand. Hopefully this story and the others to follow will help to illustrate that ‘Service Work Dogs’ are totally dedicated to assisting their disabled master in day-to-day tasks.
Download The Adventures of Sir Romeo Beau Basset Hound Service Work Doggie and you will better understand how Service Dogs view the world when out in public by watching out for their master and helping them feel a form of confidence that many people take for granted.
Being a very special family member both on-duty and off, with Romeo’s help these books totally write themselves – we are simply interpreters for his insightful observations of the world around him.

My name is Jonathan Vine, and I was caught up in the vegetarian lifestyle a few years back. I have to say that giving up on meat did not struck me in a single moment, nor it was a swift decision, but an inner journey that evolved within a few months. Eventually I took a final decision that the suffering of animals is my grief and my motivation.I was always enthusiastic about cooking. For me this is absolutely one of the greatest joys life can offer. With my vegetarian cooking style, I never feel deprived of what I eat, but rather satisfied and exhilarated with each bite.
My goal is to publish books that will empower readers to improve their health and well-being through simple everyday ingredients and low fat recipes that make eating affordable, realistic and delicious.

- A DANGEROUS BARGAIN (The Sentinel Demons) by JS Scott
About A DANGEROUS BARGAIN (The Sentinel Demons) by JS Scott:
27 year old Kat Larson is haunted by demons. Literally. And how was she to know that there was more than one type of demon? The Evils want to destroy her soul, while billionaire Sentinel demon, Zachary Winston, claims that he wants to protect her. Kat opts for Zach’s protection…but it doesn’t come without a price. It requires a demon bargain…and what he suggests surprises poor Kat almost as much as the fact that demons really do exist. Why would the handsome billionaire want to make such an agreement with an curvy, plain redheaded woman like her?
Billionaire Zachary Winston has a mission and it’s one that he vows to complete. As a Sentinel demon, his task is to protect Kat from the Evils that will corrupt her soul. His only problem is that she is his “radiant,” the one woman who can lighten the darkness of his demon existence and be his eternal mate. Zach has to fight an internal war between man and demon as he protects Kat, not quite sure which one will win. He’s one part demon, one part man, but they both yearn for Kat’s lush, full figured body and kind, compassionate heart. As Zach becomes more and more enchanted with Kat, he’s hoping she can learn to love a lonely man/demon that’s only slightly wicked.
This paranormal romance contains graphic language, steamy love scenes, and lovable alpha males that also happen to be mythological demons.

Charles thought he had an advantage working closely with Mel as he did. But he began to despair when Craig Holland appeared on the scene. Did he? Could he–stand a chance?
With his swarthy skin and golden eyes, Craig Holland could pretty much get any woman he wanted – but only one has captured his heart – Mel (Mellicent Molyneux). He wanted her to the exclusion of all else. If only he could get her to surrender to him, so he could unleash the passion he sensed hidden within her.
Mel (Mellicent Molyneux) had been pursued by men wherever she went. She had always been able to put them off with one of her condescending glances, until Craig Holland–The dark handsome plantation owner with the striking good looks and unusual eyes, had captured her heart with one smoldering glance. Should she surrender to his insatiable kisses and heated touch…? And then there was Charles…

About FIREWALLS by Eileen Schuh
NEW RELEASE! Special Book Launch Price $1.99 from 24 February 2014 – 24 March 2014
While working with the Alberta Police force, young Constable Katrina Randal has become a master at breaking through computer security in her pursuit of cybercrime but when the criminals behind the firewalls turn out to be villains from her past, her job takes on a much more dangerous tone.
Obsessed with haunting memories and wracked by emotions she can’t name, her nightmarish ordeal turns uglier as she ignores orders and takes to the street to lure the criminals from the shadows of cyberspace to face justice.
Imprisoned by dark thoughts and dangerous behaviours, it’s not until her career is in shambles that she realizes that neither her war against crime nor her struggle with Post Traumatic Stress are battles she can win alone. However, the walls she’s built to protect her heart from pain and betrayal, don’t tumble easily. As she slides deeper into the darkness, she fears she’s waited too long to trust and love; her criminal associates from the past are on the verge of stealing her future and Corporal Chad Leslie, who she’s loved since the beginning of time, is mere steps away from walking out of her life forever.FIREWALLS by Eileen Schuh is a post from Awesome Gang
