Author Bio:
Tamie lives with her very romantic husband of thirty-one years. Although their daughters are grown and married, they’ve never had an empty nest. The house is constantly full of young people. Some are temporary residents. Some come to share meals or swim. Some just come to hang out. But the constant flow of young folks in and out of the house brings joy and excitement to the home, and inspiration to the writer.

Tamie met her husband as a freshman in college when she acted out of character on a whim. One night in the library lobby, she spied a cute guy with his first name written on the back of his shirt. She called out his name. When he approached to talk to her, she pretended that she’d met him before, asking about his classes and how he liked college. To her surprise and delight, he also pretended that he knew her, but of course he didn’t know her name. They continued this false relationship for two months. Each time they saw each other,an event which occurred three times per week at the cafeteria, he would pretend he knew her. Meanwhile, all of Tamie’s friends were careful not to reveal her name to him. When he finally admitted his ignorance of her name, he was astonished to learn the truth. And the rest is history.

In 2011, Elle Bee finally buckled down and started typing out and saving her stories. Although, It wasn’t until she took a trip across the world that she gathered the courage to share her writing with others.

Iyana lives in Jakarta, a city famous for its traffic jams, a lot of cars and motorcycles, and people selling stuff on the roads. You can spend two hours on the road going to a place you can reach in half an hour in a normal situation. Thanks to the traffic jams, though, Iyana can come up with a lot of stories, mostly shorties, as she prefers to spend the time during her trips writing into her cell phone rather than sleeping.

Another thing Iyana loves is kitties. Right now she has five of them. Their names are Larva, Nyil, Cil, Mermood, and Horus. When she doesn’t write, she plays with them, or they would play with her when she writes.

Revenge is Sweet -
About Revenge is Sweet:

Revenge is a dish best served with blood…

In Revenge is Sweet, the sequel to The Friday Edition, Samantha Church is back and the stakes are higher than ever.

In a sinister quest to settle the score, the drug dealers she thwarted are no longer motivated by money or politics, they want one thing and one thing only: Revenge…

Snow swirls on a cold February night when reporter Samantha Church and her publisher Wilson Cole Jr. are kidnapped. Days following the kidnapping, Sam wakes up in a hospital bed, dazed, bruised and confused. Why did they let her go? It makes no sense. It is only when the kidnappers make their next move does she realize why.

The kidnappers want to hurt Sam by harming those she loves most, her best friend and coworker, Wilson Cole Jr., and worse, her daughter, April. They taunt Sam, wanting to break her down mentally, physically and emotionally—pretty little April, watch her bleed, pretty little April, now we’ll have some fun. Say bye-bye, pretty little April will die before your eyes.

Revenge doesn’t come any sweeter. Or does it? Is all hope seemingly lost? Or is revenge a two-way street? Does Sam have a plan of her own for the kidnappers—one that will finally settle the score?

A Gift from the Enemy: A True Story of Escape in War-Time Italy -
About A Gift from the Enemy: A True Story of Escape in War-Time Italy:

Enrico Lamet recently released a revised and enlarged edition of A Gift from the Enemy: A True Story of Escape in War-Time Italy, a compelling childhood memoir of World War II.

Enrico Lamet was born in Vienna, and spent the first eight years of his life in a comfortable middle-class atmosphere with his Jewish mother and father in Austria. At only 8 years of age, the Nazis invaded Vienna, changing the lives of all European Jews forever. The Lamet family fled to Italy, where they spent most of the next twelve years.

Follow along as Eric and his mother face struggles in fascist WWII Italy, attempting to forge friendships and make a new home. Lamet recounts his mother’s struggles to adjust from sophisticated urban living to a primitive bleak setting. Despite the world crumbling around him, Eric still manages to live an adventurous life.

In a style as original as his story, the author vividly recalls a dark time yet imbues his recollections with humor, humanity, and wit. Lamet offers a rare and historically important portrait, one you will not soon forget.

While the story takes place in Fascist Italy during the Holocaust period, it is not a Holocaust book.

Author Bio:
After World War II ended, Lamet settled in Naples with his family. He finished high school in that city and studied Engineering at the University of Naples.

In 1950 the family moved to the United States, where Lamet continued his engineering studies at the Drexel Institute of Technology in Philadelphia, near his family’s home. Deciding that business would be more in keeping with his personality, he embarked on a business career. Over the years he became involved in a variety of enterprises until his eventual retirement as a CEO in 1992.

Fluent in German, Italian, English, Spanish, and Yiddish, Lamet served as an interpreter for the U.S. State Department and taught Italian for several years. Lamet has studied piano and voice and, to this day, enjoys performing Neapolitan songs.

Enrico Lamet, together with his wife, has 5 children, 7 granddaughters and two great-granddaughters. The Lamet’s live in Pittsfield, Mass.

Horizons Past -
About Horizons Past:

Horizons Past is a romantic love story between Trish Lowe, a movie star, and Christopher Maven, a reclusive beach poet, that examines the possibility of two people with opposite lifestyles developing a lasting relationship, when all they have in common is a shared goal – to escape who they are. Guilt, “Hollywood,” and a hurricane all collide, keeping the resolution just out of reach until the reclusive poet and movie star learn – letting go of each other is even harder than letting go of the past.

Bill Stephens’ ability to place the reader in each scene is remarkable. Trish’s movie action scenes, and the roaring passages that tell of the hurricane’s destruction, are crisply detailed and lend urgency, and the love story’s realism transcends both Trish’s glamour and Chris’ guilt to make for an unanticipated and satisfying ending that readers will jump up and cheer.

“Horizons Past is a profound novel of transformation. The setting is stunning. A hurricane provides the thundering climax of this brilliant novel of human struggle and redemption.” – Florence Weinberg, Ph.D., author of Unrest in Eden

“What follows is a funny, romantic and dramatic story of fame, loss, and reconnection. You can smell it, taste it, and even feel the sand between your toes as you read.” – Cindy Leal Massey, author of Helotes, Fire Lillies, and The Texas Ranger and the Naturalist.

“Horizons Past by Bill Stephens is a terrific read! I felt as though I were walking along the beach with the sand between my toes. The characters are well drawn, interesting, and believable, and the story that binds them together a page-turner.” – Linda Shuler, author of Hidden Shadows.

Although born in NZ, just five months after Hitler liberated Luxembourg in May 1940, John Irvine lived in Australia for 28 years, three months, fourteen days and approximately fifty-seven minutes, drifting about like a hungry Cryptococcus spore on an unreliable breeze. He is now Poet Laureate for Life in the tiny village of Colville, on the northern Coromandel Peninsula, New Zealand. There, on each waning moon, he lets his dark side out to play with the sheep.

He has had several collections of poetry published by non-discerning editors, including himself, and in spite of past financial losses, and against all sensible advice, he did it again in 2011 with a collection of dubious stuff euphemistically called ‘speculative.’ What might save the thing are the utterly splendid illustrations supplied at no cost by empathic and desperate, internationally acclaimed artists suffering similar ongoing delusions…

Author Bio:
After university I moved to London to work for a travel agency. I thought I would just be there for a year or so but eight years down the line I was well and truly stuck in a rut. I finally summoned up the courage to leave, without a job to go to. The next six months saw me flit from job to job, desperately searching for my niche. It was not until I left the city that I found my true self.

I volunteered as a ski instructor and outdoor educator for people with special needs in Colorado. At last my days had a purpose. This time was to be the foundation of my later work as a life and career coach. I now help others climb out of their rut.

I love the outdoors and spend my time paddling, learning to surf (this seems to be quite the challenge for me), hiking, kite flying and having barbeques with my friends. Yes, I relocated to New Zealand, although make it back to Europe every Southern Hemisphere winter.

Divergent Parody: Avirgent by Michelle Hunt -
About Divergent Parody: Avirgent by Michelle Hunt:

-ONE CHOICE, WILL MAKE YOU AN IDIOT-

16 year old Mika Ock is a selfish teenage girl who lives in Dystopia Chicago, where the world has turned to crap, and for some strange reason, divided into five factions to help society prosper(even though that doesn’t make any sense whatsoever): Rambunctious, Vanity, Smart-Ass, Honest, and Tricker. But, there is one other faction blacklisted. One called…Avirgent. The blacklisted faction that is somehow dangerous, and anyone declared Avirgent will be subject to immediate execution.

No one knows why, or how, but it is dangerous. When Mika Ock is declared Avirgent, her tester spares her life and tells her to live a life in solitude in the Tricker faction. The Trickers are a group of daredevils who believe jumping off of roofs…and jumping out of airplanes and onto freaking trains makes them bad***.

So Mika Ock moves on with her life in Tricker, with the challenge and the threat of someone potentially finding out that she’s Avirgent. However, she must deal with an odd Brother-Sister duo, a psychopath who kills whenever he wants, and of course, the man of her dreams who seems to know more than he puts on, and has a fascination for playing his theme music whenever he enters a room.

All this and more encapsulates the story of one girl’s rise from a life of Vanity and selfishness, to the Young Adult heroine teenage girls everywhere wish they could be and more! This is a story of inconsistency where the plot determines the characters actions, and a story of few rising up to defeat the so called, “Evil Empire,” that doesn’t seem all that evil to be quite honest.

All in all, this is a parody that makes fun of the Divergent universe, and was made all in good fun. I had a good time writing this, and it is my hope all of you have a great time reading this.

Just an author trying to find their way in life. I love to read, work-out, bike, and of course make parodies of my favorite books. I don’t know what else to write, I guess I’m just trying to fill up the minimum requirement for fifty words. That’s just my sick sense of humor I suppose. If you want to call that humor that is. Either way, this is me and all the stuff that comes with it. I just love to have fun.

Marie’s Journey by Monica La Porta -
About Marie’s Journey by Monica La Porta:

Marie just turned fifteen and can’t wait to leave the Institute where she has been raised with thirty girls, all unwanted like herself. As a fathered woman, she is set to make the best she can with what she was given and dreams of when she will start training as a nurse at Redfarm, her new home.

But Redfarm is far from the nurturing environment Marie had envisioned. She meets Grant and, through him, is exposed to the race of men—the workers whose lives are worth even less than hers—and discovers they aren’t as despicable as she had been taught to believe. Before she can understand her own feelings, the longing for hugs she can’t share with Grant takes hold in her heart and she soon wishes they could be anywhere else but there. Her desire is granted, but once again, reality is harsher than her dreams.

Marie’s Journey is a companion book in The Ginecean Chronicles, a series set in the dystopian world of Ginecea, where women rule over enslaved men and heterosexual love is the ultimate sin. Although the story is chronologically set between The Priest and Pax in the Land of Women, Marie’s Journey can be read alone.

Vita Maglia -
About Vita Maglia:

Zander Grace never believed in his father’s insane scientific experiments, but then he discovers the truth: a new dimension that lies beneath our five senses, the source of our deepest emotions and closest relationships. A place of incredible danger, where millions of lives are caught in an eternal war we can’t see.

But another man searches for the discovery. Lynch Katlan is a psychopath beyond mercy or compassion. Tearing through blood and bone, he won’t stop until he finds the route to a vulnerable new world.

Similar to The Passage, this book combines rich spirituality with the thrill of an adventure story. From the first page, the reader is nearly devoured by an island paradise that’s not what it seems, then pulled even further into a scientific discovery that questions the very nature of the human soul.
