1. It All Began With…THE WART by P.A.Zimmerman

   About It All Began With…THE WART by P.A.Zimmerman:

   Robin Hoode, a quirky gay life coach unknowingly insults an old hag sitting across from him while riding the train to his office in Manhattan. She walks up to him when it comes to a halt and shakes her dirty, arthritic finger in his face and threatens,”You will be sorry for making fun of me.” then departs before he can explain his actions.
   His life changes dramatically as he tries to find the ‘witch’ who cast a spell, which continues to grow more bothersome. He begins a search for her to demand she reverse it. The plot thickens to an unusual love story and a suspense filled murder mystery.
   This mystery is funny and hard to solve, yet nothing a minor should read. Please do not assume it is a fairy tale.
   This is not a gay bash; more so a real look into a nice guys life.

   Author Bio:
   I believe if writing a good book is like catching a fly with chopsticks, writing a great book is like catching a gnat with pool cues. I leave it to readers to decide about Blood & Soul.

   I have no wife or dog, but I have cookies and I’m housebroken. I scribble by ear so don’t tell me my participle is dangling unless you want me to split your infinitive. I write heroic fantasy fiction. I build stories listening to the likes of Two Steps From Hell. I enjoy gritty fantasy and historical fiction without the gunpowder. I’m solidly an ambivert. I think that means I can live on the land or in water.

4. Once Written, Twice Shy by Carey Decevito

   

   About Once Written, Twice Shy by Carey Decevito

   After a bitter marriage, Paxton seeks respite from his loss. Rediscovering his writing, he never expected creating a piece worthy of reading nor for two unsuspecting paths to cross in the most unconventional of ways.

   Thousands of miles separated them, yet he’d never felt closer to anyone. Finding out that happiness and love was attainable again, was one thing. Having Alissa, was another.

   When the two meet, sparks fly, chemistry is beyond explosive, and emotions reach a boiling point. Their brief love affair ignited the fuse but what Paxton neglected to anticipate was that his son would fall for the sweet, meek demurred woman in Alissa or the fact the woman would be their salvation…in more ways than one.

   I was born on Valentine’s Day a long, long time ago in South Baltimore, Maryland, less than a mile from Fort McHenry and Federal Hill. I’m a very simple person. I love my life and am always striving to make it better for myself and my family.

   I write, I draw and I still work full-time. I’ve been married fo 20 years and together we have two sons, a daughter, three beautiful granddaughters and a nine year old Maine Coon cat named Columbus.

   My first novel, “Fireflies,” was published with GMTA Publishing in 2013 and my second book “Hope From the Ocean” was published in the spring of 2014. I love historical fiction. I get my history fix via movies, television and of course, books, although I like to read almost every genre.

7. Lost in Us by Layla Hagen

   About Lost in Us by Layla Hagen:

   Serena has learned to live with her past, locking her secrets and nightmares deep inside her. But when her boyfriend of six years abruptly leaves her, she’s catapulted back into pain, nursing a broken heart. When indulging in mountains of chocolate doesn’t work, Serena decides the best way to deal with her shattered heart is to indulge in something else. A rebound . . .

   The night she swaps her usual Sprite for tequila, she meets James. The encounter is breathtaking.

   Electrifying.

   And best not repeated.

   James is a successful entrepreneur in Silicon Valley. A man who has amassed a fortune by taking risks. A man who has shunned commitment completely, and still does. He’s the exact opposite of Serena. But sometimes opposites attract. Sometimes they give in to burning passion. Sometimes opposites are perfect for each other.

   James is everything her damaged soul could want. His kisses are intoxicating, his touch out of this world. He makes her forget. He grants her peace from her pain. But as they grow closer, Serena discovers she isn’t the only one with a past. James carries the scars of a past much darker than hers. One that has left him damaged, hurt, and wary of love. A past that gives him the power to shatter her.

   Now James and Serena must find a way to mend one another. Or risk losing each other forever.
