About Dominatrix Dancer

In 1991 the documentary Inside New Zealand aired on TV, in New Zealand. The documentary revealed the lives of working dominatrix women after the Peter Plumbly-Walker murder case shocked the nation. Sixteen-year-old schoolgirl M. realised she wasn’t alone in her kink as a submissive and found herself inspired to become a dominatrix.
After high school, M. becomes involved with an alternative gregarious family. When her relationship with the youngest son starts to fall apart, a fatal kiss from Zane, the oldest son, tethers her to a man afraid to love. She follows him to Tunbridge Wells and later London on her OE. A bond develops between M. and Zane as he watches over M.’s descent into the sex industry in Soho, London. She finds work as an exotic pole dancer and in the only adult shop catered for Sadomasochists, where she prepares herself for a future as a dominatrix.
Before she embarks as a professional dominatrix, M. takes a seven-week holiday to the Middle East. In a chance encounter, M. meets Laurent, a French sadist a year younger than herself, and falls in love. Laurent persuades M. to forget about dominatrix work. But M. resists submission and decides she doesn’t want to be a sadomasochist anymore, nor does she want to be a dominatrix.
With the realisation Zane will never marry her, M. meets Lewis, a rich guy who does want her. M. tries using Lewis to tease Zane into a real relationship, but fails. Unable to love Lewis, the relationship ends, and M. returns to New Zealand.
With the money she saved from exotic pole dancing, M. tries to start a new life, but struggles as she lacks literacy, pushing her back on the path of her dominatrix fantasy.
M. discovers that dominatrix work is not as glamorous as she once thought and faces the reality of needing to fix the deficit in her education.
Dominatrix Dancer spans thirteen countries, taking you on an erotic adventure of love, acceptance, and becoming your own knight in shining armour.

About The Unknown Kingdom, Revelations of Shambhala: A Journey of Discovery by Michael Hawking

Free on Amazon 4/6 – 4/7/19. Discover the Unknown Kingdom. You are invited to take an unprecedented journey into a fabled world to explore ancient knowledge virtually unknown to the modern world. Sweeping in an immense arc across South Asia is the Great Himalayan Range, an uninterrupted 1,500 mile crescent of mountains with over 110 peaks rising to elevations of 25,000 feet or more. Extending from Kashmir’s 26,600 foot Naga Parbat through Tibet’s 25,445 foot Namcha Barwa, the vast frozen fortress of the Himalaya cradles the most isolated areas of Earth’s landmass. Yawning gorges as deep as 16,000 feet and ice peaks towering over five miles high shelter remote, lushly forested valleys.
For thousands of years, the largely inaccessible inner portion of this wilderness has been known in esoteric literature as the Great White Island, and has inspired countless stories and legends that it conceals a kingdom of great masters possessed of transcendent wisdom and power.
Years ago, on an extended trek into the remote inner range of the Himalaya, explorer M.G. Hawking chanced on a small valley deep in the wilderness. Surrounded by towering ice peaks, he encountered a beautiful village, a mysterious realm referred to by its residents as Siddhalaya. Siddha, in Sanskrit, denotes a high adept or master; alaya means the abode of—for Siddhalaya is said to be the ‘Kingdom of the Masters.’
Hawking’s discovery marked the beginning of a series of extraordinary encounters and experiences. In that isolated community he had the privilege of meeting a number of remarkable men and women—introduced to him as ‘masters’ and ‘sages’—possessed of wisdom, knowledge and power virtually unknown in the Western world.
Transcribed directly from the journals and field notes Hawking recorded of his encounters with these sages, this book contains detailed narratives of his experiences and conversations, providing detailed, first-hand accounts of their esoteric knowledge and power. As entertaining as it is richly enlightening, this is an incomparable read for anyone on a spiritual path or seeking greatly expanded knowledge and personal power. A Kindle Unlimited Book. 2019 Edition, Kindle e-reader page count 320. For more information, please see the Amazon description and ‘Look Inside’ feature. Thank you.

Author Bio:
I’m an accidental author as I began writing my first story, Mechanics of Murder, after I had been fired for taking maternity leave. Forced to take a 3rd shift job, angry and hormonal, I started thinking of ways of killing my ex-boss without getting caught. I began writing down my ideas and my imagination took over. I started creating a story of a female mechanic, which I was, finding a dead body underneath the truck she was working on. My father absolutely loved the story and encouraged me to complete it and get it published instead of actually killing my ex-boss. I agreed and was almost finished with the first draft when my father had a stroke. Encouraging him to get better, I rushed the book to Lulu Publishing without it being edited. My father was able to hold my first novel but was never able to read it, he passed away 2 days later. But it began a passion for me that has not dwindled!

I have continued writing and my list has now grown. With Love; Now & Forever and Shadows, both paranormal romances though with different personalities and twists. The sequel to Mechanics of Murder, A Wrench in the Plan, was completed in January of 2011 and was released in the spring of 2012. I know my Dad would be proud. My contemporary romance, Love’s Everlasting Song, is a sweet tale where hopes,dreams and occasionally fairy tales do come true.

I usually have 5-7 novels in the works and plan on writing for many more years! My stories are not sexually graphic because I believe each readers experience and imagination are usually more erotic and more sensual than what I will put into words and I ALWAYS have to have a happy ending! Life is meant to be fun, enjoy the journey!!!

Author Bio:
Ann Crawford is a world-traveling, high-flying, deep-diving, and life-loving author, screenwriter, and award-winning filmmaker. She’s lived “Oh, all over.” She went from one shining sea to the other, then to the prairie, then to the mountain – just to rock a couple of our patriotic songs here, albeit backwards. Right now her writing nest looks out on a couple of those purple mountain majesties, as she and her family live in Colorado. Ann’s bestselling and award-winning novels go as high and deep as she does—they’re profound yet funny; playful although poignant; heart-opening and heart-lifting; thought-provoking and inspiring; and edgy while universal. Readers often say the worst part about her books is that they end.

About Forgotten Places by Johanna Craven

Van Diemen’s Land, Australia. 1833.

English settler Grace Ashwell flees an abusive lover in Hobart Town, with six-year-old Violet in tow. In her head, escape is easy: find work in the northern settlements and earn enough for passage home to London. But the terrain beyond the settled districts is wilder than Grace could ever have imagined. She and Violet find themselves lost in a beautiful but deadly land where rain thunders down mountains, the earth drops away without warning and night brings impenetrable darkness.

Deep in the wilderness, they find a crude hut inhabited by Alexander Dalton, an escaped convict long presumed dead. Hiding from civilisation in an attempt to forget his horrifying past, Alexander struggles to let Grace into his world.

When Violet disappears, Grace’s fragile trust in Alexander is put to the test. And while she searches for answers, he will do anything to keep his secrets inside.

Inspired by the true story of the Macquarie Harbour bolters; one of the most horrifying events from Colonial Australia’s bloody history.

About The Going Back Portal By Connie Lacy

The past is a dangerous place in this fast-paced time travel novel…

Kathryn Spears is a skeptical producer for a TV investigative news team. So when her grandmother claims a Cherokee Indian woman is living on a neighboring farm, she dismisses it as early Alzheimer’s. Because, obviously, there is no farm nearby. Not in the present anyway. But when she follows Nana’s lead, Kathryn is transported back in time to the year 1840 where she finds a young Cherokee woman left behind when her family marched west on the Trail of Tears.

Forest Water is ensnared in a perilous struggle to keep her ancestral lands against a violent white man who claims the farm, and then claims her as well. Desperate to help her new friend, Kathryn becomes entangled in a battle between good and evil with much higher stakes than she imagines.

Each of these young women falls in love with a man from her own time, but there are threats, both seen and unseen, that could cost them their lives.

About Rodeo Summer by Jillian Neal

“Summer Sanchez has a plan:
Get full custody of her little boy from his good-for-nothing father and get as far away from the rodeo circuit as possible. Keeping her son safe is her only priority. She’ll figure out the rest later.

Until Austin Camden takes her to his bed… Champion bull rider, Austin Camden, shows her just how much she’s been missing. His rugged good looks, whisky-smooth voice and very capable hands set her on fire. He has more bedroom skill than she ever believed could be housed in one man. If she isn’t careful, she may never recover.

If he plays his cards right…
Austin will go home with the PBR buckle and Summer, the sexy little spitfire that’s his every fantasy come to life.

He’ll risk it all…
To keep her and her son safe when their lives together are threatened. Keeping her sated and making her his forever is just a bonus.

Can he convince her Camden Ranch is where she belongs before it’s too late?
He’s spent the last ten years chasing that championship buckle.

He’s about to discover that the ride of his life will have nothing to do with a bull.
It’s a no holds barred fight to the finish to prove to Summer that their scorching hot relationship is better than winning any buckle.”

Author Bio:
“Bestselling author, Jillian Neal, was not only born 30 but also came accessorized with loads of books and adorable handbags in which to carry them, at least that’s what she tells people. After earning a degree in education, she discovered that her passion could never be housed inside a classroom. A vehement lover of love and having maintained a lifelong affair with the awe-inspiring power of words, she set to turn the romance industry on its head. Her overly-caffeinated, troupe-spinning muse is never happy with the standard formula story. She believes every book should be brimming with passion, loaded with hot sexy scenes, packed with a gut-punch of emotion, and have characters that leap off the page and right into your heart.

Her first series, The Gifted Realm, defines contemporary romance with a fantasy twist. Her Gypsy Beach series will leave you longing to visit the sultry shores of the tiny bohemian beach town, and her erotic romance series, Camden Ranch, will make you certain there is nothing better than a cowboy with some chaps and a plan. The sheer amount of coffee required to keep all of those characters dancing in her head would border on lethal, so she unleashes their engaging stories on page after page of spellbinding reads.

Jillian lives outside of Atlanta with her own sexy sweetheart, their teenage sons, and enough stiletto heels, cowgirl boots, and flip-flops to exist in any of the fictional worlds she brings to life.”
