Sign of Nine Stripes by Carol Amorosi

The third time’s lucky. Or so they say. Angus believes his chance for success lies in the colonies. When he receives an offer of employment, he crosses the Atlantic for the third time to follow his dreams. What could possibly go wrong?

In 1763, Angus followed his heroes, Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, to the New World on their ground-breaking survey. Five years later, he returned to London with no prospects. Now, Angus sails back to the colonies. But this time will be different. Joel Bailey has offered him a position as a surveyor. His friend, Liam, is there. The uncle he believed was dead is there. And a beautiful Native lass is there. Angus thinks he’s finally on his way to making a life for himself.

But there’s an undercurrent of danger running throughout the colonies. Smuggling, protests, and secret organizations are the norm. New taxes and restrictions are being imposed. And people are taking sides against each other.

Angus doesn’t want to choose sides. But when a dead body is delivered to his employer’s home, what choice does he have?

Mafia’s Dirty Secret

About Mafia’s Dirty Secret

“Marie should have run away from her abusive mother when she had the chance.
But she stayed home and cared for the terminally ill monster.
The one person that she loved but never loved her back.

Just as she thought her miserable life was never going to get better…
She met a mysterious out-of-towner.
She ignored her mother’s advice: to never speak with any man, that all men are bad.

This beautiful stranger showered her with gifts, kindness, and attention.
He gave her the sort of love that she had never experienced before in her life.

What Marie didn’t know is that this gorgeous man—a mafioso—had a reason to get close to her.
He was on a special revenge mission—and she was his target.

Warning: This story contains strong language, adult scenes, and some domestic abuse. Intended for adults only.”

Wilde Nights & Robber Barons by Laura Lee

About Wilde Nights & Robber Barons by Laura Lee

In 2011, a pair of love letters, hidden for more than a century, were discovered uncatalogued in an archive in Sydney, Australia. They were passionate declarations of love from one young man to another. The writer referred to the recipient as his “darling pretty.” He talked about how much he missed him and imagined sending “millions of kisses all over your beautiful body.” He signed off “your loving boy-wife.” The letters were addressed to Maurice Salis-Schwabe. Of much greater interest was who they came from– Oscar Wilde’s lover Lord Alfred Douglas, known to his intimates as Bosie.

Until the discovery, Schwabe had been an obscure figure in the Oscar Wilde story. Although he introduced Wilde to his co-defendant Alfred Taylor, and was, himself, accused of having sexual relations with Wilde, his name was initially concealed, written on a piece of paper instead of being spoken in open court. The testimony made clear, however, that the mysterious “gentleman on the paper” was a catalyst for much of what followed. After Wilde’s first criminal trial ended in a hung jury, the decision of whether or not to re-try him fell on one man, Maurice Schwabe’s uncle, Solicitor General Frank Lockwood, which caused some of Wilde’s supporters to allege a cover up.

But this is just the beginning of Schwabe’s story. In the early 20th Century, Schwabe hosted all-male sex parties for an aristocratic clientele, all the while collecting scandalous secrets that insulated him from prosecution. He spied and cheated on several continents as part of an organized crime syndicate made up of well-dressed, elegant men who adopted false titles of nobility. The false barons made their living traveling around the world on luxury ships, cheating at cards, selling shares in dubious business enterprises, seducing for profit and collecting secrets to be used for blackmail and espionage. They were even suspected of at least one murder. The colorful characters in Schwabe’s orbit were so grand that they seem to have been ripped from the pages of fiction, but it is all true. Hidden for a century in police files, business documents, letters and and articles in many languages in archives on multiple continents, Maurice Schwabe’s story can finally be told.

Author Bio:
My writing draws on a unique background including stints as a morning show DJ, an improvisational comedian, a professional mime, a shopping mall Easter Bunny, and performing various odd tasks the office and non-profit organization of a well-known folksinger.

I come from a family of actors and writers. On my mother's side, my great-grandparents were hoteliers and theater folk. My great-great-aunt and her husband were well-known on the vaudeville circuit, My grandfather was a famous raconteur and his children formed the Jewell Players. My great uncle was one of the creators of the WXYZ radio series The Lone Ranger and The Green Hornet. My grandmother was a radio actress who played Miss Case in the latter series. I believed I was destined to be an actor, but my late father new better.

My dad was a writer, and he encouraged me to try writing. Thus my professional writing career began at the age of 12, when I published "My first Day of Junior High School" in a magazine. There was a long pause between my first and second publication.

I went on to earn a theater degree from Oakland University. I wrote and performed with the Vorpmi comedy troupe, and authored a one act comedy "Humphrey Hall," which was performed to glowing reviews. (Tests for radioactivity came back negative.) After graduation, despite many lucrative offers from large theater corporations, I traveled to England and Scotland with a work visa. There I learned, among other things, how to wash dishes, and how to build up a large debt, a skill I have retained to this day. Upon my return, I embarked on a broadcasting career. More than one station was so impressed by my performance that they decided to just close the place down after I left.

Writing radio commercials and occasional copy for local papers eventually led me to the realization that dad was right and I began my writing career. I became a regular contributor to the Times Union in Albany and a corporate speech writer with OverViews Speechwriting. I have written for such magazines as Reader’s Digest, Private Pilot, The Futurist, Smithsonian, Weatherwise, Preservation and Seattle Magazine. I have written 21 books including biography, fiction, non-fiction and children's literature. Highlights include Oscar's Ghost by Amberley Publishing, Blame it on the Rain by Harper Collins and The Pocket Encyclopedia of Aggravation by Black Dog and Leventhal. When global pandemics and wars permit, I divide my time equally between writing and doing ballet master class tours with my partner, the artistic director of the Russian National Ballet Foundation. I live in Rochester Hills, Michigan.

Author Bio:

Mary Ellen Johnson’s writing career was sparked by her passion for Medieval England. Her first medieval historical, The Lion and the Leopard, was followed by The Landlord’s Black-Eyed Daughter, a historical novel based on the Alfred Noyes poem, “The Highwayman.” (Published under the pseudonym, Mary Ellen Dennis.) Landlord was chosen as one of the top 100 historical romances of 2007.
After taking a twenty-year detour in a quixotic quest to change the world–rather like Arthurian knights’ quests to find the holy grail, which ended in similar failure— Mary Ellen happily returned to historical fiction writing and her favorite time period, the tumultuous fourteenth century. Her six-book series, Knights of England, follows the fortunes of the characters (and their progeny) introduced in The Lion and the Leopard through the Black Death, the reign of that most gloriously medieval of monarchs, Edward III, the 1381 Peasants’ Revolt, and ends in 1403, when the usurper king Henry IV overcomes his enemies—and lays the groundwork for the Wars of the Roses..
Mary Ellen has now turned her attention to time travel. Her four-part series will begin in Medieval England and end with the labor wars at the beginning of the 20th century. Her first time travel romance, Before I Wake, recently reached number one on Amazon’s Top 100 (Time Travel Romance.)
