About Enslaved: The Lady and Her Pentagon by Ericka Reynolds

Free March 20-24
Ava is a hardworking federal employee at the Pentagon. By day she is a bulldog working Top Secret missions and by night, she writes cutesy children’s books in hopes of turning her writing into a fulltime profession – a polar opposite of her day job. She has become disenchanted with the “mystery building” and surmises her experiences as a cross between two movies, “The Shawshank Redemption” and “Groundhog Day”. Added to her professional dissatisfaction she also struggles with sexual and spiritual fulfillment.

When Ava notes to her hair stylist her inability to turn off the Pentagon chatter in the evenings and focus on her writing she is informed of an experimental device her stylist has invented which allows one to operate in left brain or right brain mode at their control. Desperate to put all of her energy into her writing in the evenings Ava agrees to have the device implanted. The events following this decision not only drastically change Ava’s life but impact the daily operations of the Pentagon and have her friends and lover at a loss for understanding the new Ava.

About Hunted and Claimed by Delta James

She thought she could run from her mate. Then he lassoed her.

Riley decided years ago that she would be better off on her own, but when the alpha of the local pack finds out there’s a lone wolf causing trouble on his turf he takes matters into his own hands.

As far as Cameron Nichols is concerned, Riley will be joining his pack whether she likes it or not. Her only choice will be whether to submit to his authority with or without needing to be stripped bare and spanked over his knee until she is kicking and crying and promising obedience. When she chooses the latter, the Navy SEAL turned cowboy is more than happy to oblige.

But Cameron knows instantly that Riley isn’t just a feisty female in need of an alpha’s firm hand. She is his mate, and she knows it too, despite her best efforts to deny it. No matter how many times she tries to run, he will always chase her down, punish her thoroughly, and then mount and claim her so roughly that all she can do is scream her helpless, shamefully intense pleasure into the pillow as her body betrays her and surrenders ever more completely to his demands.

About Curing My Venom

A poetic journey through the five stages of grief.
Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance.

‘Curing My Venom’ is about mental illness, failures, and self-healing.

Tiny speck of hope
peeking through my window
tell me what you seek
there is nothing for you here
maybe you should leave
I am just an ounce of emptiness
fading behind this dark
stay away from me
before you lose your spark.

O’ my foolish child
how do you not know?
You are the light I come for
and yet you have no clue?
this spark you see in me
is a reflection of you.

Because, darling, you are hope

Hello, it’s wonderful to have you here on my book’s page. I am a Transformational Life Coach with 20 years of experience supporting clients into profound self-acceptance and the achievement of congruent life goals. Back in 2013, I released my first book, “The Answer – 42 days of connecting with your Authentic Personal Power”, which I describe as the “instruction manual we never got for running our amazing bodies”. I wanted people to have the practical insight into their mind, body and energy, as their innate tools for living an authentic and empowered life. Following the release of this book, in my workshops and 1-1 sessions, I had a heartbreaking realisation. Beautiful people to world over, who knew the power of positive thinking, reframing, physical and energetic health, were using this power (and their own free will) to plant themselves in circumstances where they could NEVER thrive. Like a tropical plant, planted near the freezing cold poles, they were showing signs of not thriving but then blaming themselves, feeling ‘less-than’ or ‘not good enough’. From this realisation, The Happiness Recipe workshop, then book came into being.
I live in a beautiful part of our planet, in a sea-side town on the south eastern coast of Australia with my two children. I describe myself as ‘multi-passioned’, and have many interests, including making positive affirming music – getting a positive and mind-enhancing song stuck in your head just made sense to me! You can check those out by typing my name into any search engine where you buy your music.
Thank you for reading and please head on over to my website and say, “hello”!

About Where Sleeping Lies Lie by M. Naidoo

“Two men… two worlds… one desperate Promise…”

If Anna had only known how the simple push of a button would turn her life upside down, she would never have pressed ‘Play.’
By the end of the 52-second recording all she knows is that, if the voice in the thick German accent is right, she has been living with an unthinkable lie for the past thirty years. There is only one way to find out: Follow the instruction left by a dead person and head back to Germany, to a life she has next to no conscious memory of.
To Anna’s surprise, she finds an unexpected ally in Peter, an old childhood friend whose law degree and language skills prove to be more than useful. Besides, he has the most gorgeous blue eyes she has ever seen and the uncanny ability to push her buttons without the slightest effort.
At every turn, their search for answers is littered with more lies and revelations. Anna must ultimately decide whether even the noblest of ends, truly justify the means and whether some secrets should better stay buried.

“Mystery, history, and a twist at every turn. Brilliant characters and prolific storytelling… irresistible!”

M.Naidoo lives in Northern California with her husband, two daughters, and three dogs. Born and raised in Germany, she was able to draw on a wealth of memories and experiences for Where Sleeping Lies Lie. “When you have actually lived in a place, it gives you a perspective and insight that all the research in the world cannot provide.”

When she is not in front of her computer, pounding out storylines and characters, she enjoys reading, movies, spending time with her family, and long walks on the beach – her proverbial ‘happy place’. M’s love for the shoreline and ocean shine through in the vivid descriptions of the coast in her debut novel The Pelican.

“Juggling my life as a writer and a full-time ‘real’ job has its challenges. I don’t get to spend half as much time as I’d like doing what I love, and there are never enough hours in the day. Still, I feel extremely lucky to be following my passion, and I am enjoying every minute of it. Getting here has been one heck of a ride!”

About The Eagle and the Lion: A Strange Turn of Fortune by Laurel Robinson

The chronicle is set in the early 1800’s. Anne is a passenger aboard ship when a violent storm literally tosses her overboard into a raging sea. She manages to stay alive long enough to wash up on a French beach. British Riflemen, on a long trek to Calais after having survived the Napoleonic War, find her and nurse her back to health. The unit’s leader, John, is initially only worried about the woman’s health. But during their journey, Anne’s independence, determination, and resolve, cause John’s feelings to escalate from concern to respect to infatuation and, eventually, to love. Before their travels end, those feelings will be mutual.

About Walk, Climb, or Fly: Surviving and Thriving in the Workplace Wilderness

About The Beast Within

From moonrise to moonset, the beast will rule.

Caleb’s family had a secret. One they’d held for over 300 years. One he’d reveal to save one woman’s life. Because she was the other half of his soul, even though it was her kind who condemned him to be the beast he was.

Lissette knew her family had secrets. What family in New Orleans as old as hers didn’t have family legends, most she disregarded as nonsense. Until she came across something leaving her no choice but to believe. Especially, when it meant her life… or his.

About Always Been Mine

No one ever tells me no.

Not in the office. Not in life.

My military background has me giving direct orders and expecting quick, compliant responses.

And I’m in need of an office assistant. Someone to step up when I need her to.

I just never expected it to be my first love.

She’s a single mother now. The girl from across the street when I was just a kid.

My little sister’s best friend. The one I gave everything to before leaving that small town.

And here we are again. Face to face. Stuck in a room with suits and stiffs.

All I want is her. Not who she can be or what she can do for me.

But who she was and will always be.

Mine.

About My Heaven and Hell: A true story of love and schizophrenia

My name is Ruth Gordon. I was born in Switzerland in 1950 and left at the age of 16 to pursue my ballet career.

This journey brought me to England in 1969 where I met Simon Gordon, a fine ballet pianist and conductor, in 1978.

Two weeks later we were married. Unbeknownst to me Simon had suffered from Schizophrenia since the age of 11. In 1980 I gave birth to our son Matthew.

Simon’s grandmother (a huge influence on his life) died in 1981, incepting an episode of Simon’s latent Schizophrenia which culminated in him kidnapping Matthew, beating me and finally committing suicide.

During this period, both Simon and I wrote diaries which are the central components of this book. These diaries display the differences in how we experienced this time of difficulty and hopefully convey the raw emotions of this time.

Only instead of being the star jock, he's now a surgeon.
A sexy, irresistible surgeon who happens to save my friend's life. As if all that isn't bad enough, he has it in his determined, arrogant head that we should pick up where we left off.

But this time, it'll take more than devouring looks and the rush of his touch to temp me back into his bed.
And my heart? Not an option.

He's about to figure out, I'm not the same girl he left behind.

Author Bio:
I have always been an avid reader since a very early age. I especially enjoy works of science fiction and fantasy. For years I considered trying my hand at writing a book until I finally stop procrastinating.

In addition to reading my other hobbies and interests include gaming, hiking, photography, fishing, gardening and finding out what goes bump in the night. That’s right I have been interested in ghosts and the paranormal since I was a kid growing up on my grandfathers old Ohio farm. I spent my youth out in the countryside wandering around exploring. Hearing old family ghost stories around campfires. My mother is a fine storyteller who grew up near the Hornet Spook Light in Missouri and spent many nights watching the mysterious light winking up and down its dark country road. I heard tales of ghostly cars offering hitchhikers rides, phantom footsteps eternally circling old haunted graveyards and spectral ladies floating across old country roads only to be struck by cars late at night. These and many other stories kindled my interest in ghosts

I am out there trying to find out what is really going on. I was an independent investigator for several years running my own site called Lost and Found Ohio, currently I am with the United Paranormal Project.

Over the last several years I have also grown to love walking and photographing cemeteries for their historical significance as well as their beauty and tranquility. There is a lot of interesting symbolism and artistry carved into those tombstones and each cemetery has dozens of tales to tell us if you just slow down really look for them.

Lastly, I love seeing and exploring places, finding old forgotten places and capturing some of their essence in photographs before they are torn down and gone forever. Historical places and those with folklore associated with them or a haunting or two are my favorite locations to look for as they combine three or four of my interest together.

About The Poems of Piero Rivolta Boxed Set 1 (Volumes 1 -4)

The Poems of Award-Winning Poet and Novelist Piero Rivolta have been combined for the first time into one boxed set, including the following books: Nothing Is Without Future, Going By Sea: Poems and Thoughts of Today’s World, One Life, Many Lives and Just One Scent, The Rest is God.

In the tradition of metaphysical poets, Piero gathers concrete yet evocative impressions – images based on the sea and sailing, mountains and meadows, music and scents – to ask questions about the purpose of life and what it means to be human.
Prose poems alternate with lyrical verse to cover a range of subjects, including work, spirituality, romantic relationships and love, from a variety of perspectives.

Piero looks to the past while offering keen observations and insight into our current state of affairs. Wistful musings, triggered by a visit to his childhood home in Italy, about watershed occurrences like September 11 and observations of his natural surroundings, alternate with lyric poems that celebrate love, art, music and other momentary pleasures.

I literally grew up in a motor vehicle factory. Day after day, from my earliest childhood, I lived amid the production lines of all sorts of two-, three- and four-wheel vehicles. The factory churned out quantities of motorcycles, mini-vans and, later, the famous Isetta-an egg-shaped city vehicle whose front door opened in such a way as to allow entry without ever having to bend down. We then moved to building sports cars (the various IsoRivolta models), snowmobiles, and a series of Formula 1 racers (the IsoRivolta Marlboro)-to name a few of our sexiest products.

Moody Dragons. Snarky Elves. Fierce Mermaids. And two unlikely heroes who are fated to save them all.

Cole’s life is upended on his 18th birthday when he discovers his true dragon heritage and the prophecy that awaits him.

Cole’s life spirals into an uncontrollable battle of life or death. He learns that his family isn’t really his own and his birth parents are the king and queen of all dragons, making Cole royalty.

The prophecy has been foreseen. If Cole can’t embrace his destiny, then all beings will perish–including his new dragon family.

Author Bio:
Gisela (Gigi) Sedlmayer was born on 19 May 1944 in Potsdam, a suburb of Berlin in Germany.
Her family escaped to the West just before the infamous wall went up. They moved around in Germany, following where her dad got work. That meant she had to change 9 times schools. In the end she never had friends again, of fear, she will lose them again.
Finally, they settled in Munich where Gigi studied architectural drafting and met Albert in 1965, marrying in December 1967. She worked as a civil drafts-person in various private consultancies in Munich.
Since her uncle was a writer, she tried to write short animal stories herself. Nothing further came of it, but she developed a love for the written word and started to consume books.
In May 1975, Gigi and her husband moved to New Zealand. Because of language challenges, she started a handcraft business. As a specialty, she made colourful parrots in several sizes of which she sold thousands in a few years.
In 1988, they decided to adopt and became adoptive parents of twin girls the year after. They lived in New Zealand for eighteen years and moved to Australia in September 1992.
One year later Gigi was diagnosed with cancer. After operations and radiation, she withdrew, thinking that she would probably soon be dead, like her friend who died of cancer, but her two little girls gave her the courage to keep going. After a few years, still among the living, her brain started to work again, so she thought, ‘Get a grip on yourself and do something good with your life’.
She remembered the time she wrote short stories and got inspired again, seeing her husband Albert writing the story of their adoption. Her English became increasingly better so she pressed on to develop her creative writing.
Albert taught her how to use a computer and she wrote many short stories. She entered them in competitions and often got very good reports back, which gave her confidence to go on writing. One day the idea for the TALON series came to her and she spent the next several years bringing the story and the characters to life.
She now loves writing and spends most of her time at the computer, developing new story lines. She also loves traveling, 4×4 touring, swimming, gardening, handcrafting, reading, fossicking and enjoys good adventure DVD’s or going to the movies.
