Sara’s Game by Ernie Lindsey -
About Sara’s Game by Ernie Lindsey:

Two years ago, Sara’s husband left for the gym one morning…and never came back. His car was found. He wasn’t. Unbelievably, the police report said, “No foul play suspected.” There were a few unreliable sightings over the following months, but little else.

Now, on the last day before summer break, her three children have gone missing from their schools, all at the same time.

And the note under her windshield wiper asks one foreboding question: Are you ready to play the game?

Bitter Melon -
About Bitter Melon:

In this debut poetry collection, Elvis Alves uses bitter melon as a metaphor for life’s experiences. He does more than ruminate about the bitterness of life and seeks to locate the truth in the adage “life is what you make of it.” He plays with the notion that modes of relating (i.e. to self, God, nature, other human beings) are at the core of what it means to take ownership of life.

The Purim Story -
About The Purim Story:

Lovely rhymes and wonderful images relate the Story of Purim to young children in a fun and enjoyable fashion. The holiday of Purim is celebrated every year in the month of Adar, four weeks before Passover. Purim is plural for the word Pur, which means “lot”. It refers to the evil plot of wicked Haman who drew lots to determine the best day to eliminate the Jewish people living in the Persian Empire during the days of King Achashverosh (Xerxes I, Fourth Century BCE).

In addition to the story of Queen Esther, her uncle Mordechai and the fall of wicked Haman, the book also includes information about the traditional observances of Purim, which include hearing the Megillah read at the synagogue, charity to the poor, and much more.

About Chronicle of the Mound Builders:

Mysteries from the Past

Archaeologist Dr. Angela Hunter discovers an ancient codex at a Mississippian Indian dig site in the St. Louis area. Knowing the Mississippians, or Mound Builders, had no written language, she is determined to solve the mystery of the 700-year-old, perfectly preserved codex.
Clash of Cultures

In the early 1300’s, an Aztec family is torn apart. A judge rebelling against the Aztec tradition of human sacrifice is cursed and escapes his enemies with his 12-year-old son. They travel from the Gulf of Mexico up the Mississippi River to settle in the thriving community of Migaduha, modern-day Cahokia Mounds, Illinois.
Evil Unleashed

Angela recognizes the symbols as Aztec pictograms and begins to translate the story. However, other forces also want the codex and will do anything to get it. Can she learn the secrets of the chronicle before the tragic events of the past are repeated today?

Luann Reynolds -
About Luann Reynolds:

Sarah Margaret Mathieson, a “Southern Belle”, is at age sixteen forced to become self-reliant. Her life changes drastically from the affluent politeness of southern family culture to the shocking crudeness of death, destruction and mayhem of 1862 Savannah, Georgia. Her true love, a young Confederate soldier, disappears while a barrage of Union cannon fire claims the lives of her parents. Grief stricken and forlorn, she sacrifices love for security by marrying an older man, who moves them to Chicago to raise a family, and then on to Colorado. Traveling, they experience the raw, crude, unsettled lawless territories of the west. Her un-daunting character triumphs as she faces the challenge to balance her desires with her obligations. After two decades, she’s never stopped longing for her beloved Savannah but fate has another door for her to open. It is a story of true love broken, passionate dreams dismantled and life threatening events that prove her mettle.

Author Bio:
Luann Reynolds, The Intuitive Novelist, derives her inspiration from the various places around the country she has called home as well as her intuition. She has learned to listen to her inner voice and trust it to guide her. This book series was born from an experience in Colorado while driving home from work. She glanced over at the side of the rode and sighted a woman in 1800′s attire. Looking back again, the figure had disappeared but what was left in her head was a flow of information that Luann was driven to write, and after ideas for at least seven novels, she is still writing.

Expressions of Me -
About Expressions of Me:

Author, Aray Brown is pleased to announce the release of her new book of poetry entitled, Expressions of Me. Though just published, the poetry are thoughts that were written throughout her life.

Welcome to love. Welcome to heartache. Welcome to fear. Welcome to hope.

While Aray previously wrote a novel, Love Don’t Live Here Anymore, she never published it. She loved writing but didn’t dabble into poetry until years later. It all started with a pen and paper, then escalated to her very own YouTube channel. Her dream of self publishing finally came through with her first poetry book. If it wasn’t for a certain R&B artist she wouldn’t have the courage to showcase her poetry. She always wanted to do it but she hated her voice at that time. After watching his videos off and on, she figured if he can do it then so can she. After that, a star was born and so was, Expressions of Me.

Read the raw emotion from Aray, read about her struggles, her agony, her fears and her hope for a better future – all expressions of her!

Winter Stranger by Sofia Palmer -
About Winter Stranger by Sofia Palmer:

Excerpt from Winter Stranger:
It was the first time she had heard him speak. This was definitely not Paul. Her heart was racing, thumping loudly in her chest. Oh god. This was not her husband. She was not sure whether she was more afraid or excited by the confirmation.
Kay struggled against the ropes, feeling them burn against her wrists as she writhed. “I thought you were Paul,” she protested weakly.
The stranger did not slow down. Instead, he gathered intensity, thrusting into her deeper and deeper. “No, I’m not,” he said.
“I can’t do this. You’re not my husband,” she said. Even Kay did not find her protests credible.
He stopped moving, his cock pushed deep inside her. Kay arched her hips toward his, taking him inside her as deep as he could go, internally willing him to start moving again.
“I’ll leave,” he said. “Do you really want me to stop?”
Kay considered it for a moment. Did she want him to stop? It was not technically cheating if she were lying here, completely restrained, was it? What would Paul do if he discovered them? The thoughts were beginning to push her over the edge.
“No, please,” she said. “Please, please don’t stop.”
“Beg me,” he responded. “Tell me how much you want it.”

Kay is a straight-laced elementary school teacher. Her husband, Paul, is an overworked cardiologist. They planned a romantic evening together to role-play one of Kay’s deepest fantasies- being ravished by a stranger. If all goes according to plan, Paul will play the stranger, coming home in disguise. But all does not go according to plan.

This is a 8661 word story and is the first in a four-part erotic suspense series that explores what happens when a couple’s relationship begins to get really complicated.

Ever since they were kids, Cade has been rescuing Eden Gillespie. Now she’s decided she owes him one heck of a thank-you—one that involves a bed, naked bodies and sweet satisfaction.

Sugar Daddy (Lowcountry Heat #1) -
About Sugar Daddy (Lowcountry Heat #1):

Shay Greer is pure GRITS—a Girl Raised In The South–but nowhere near a demure southern belle. She’s looking for a way out of her broken down marriage when she lands an unexpected job offer she really should refuse. Position? Mistress. Fringe Benefits? Of course. Fraternization with sexy CEO Reardon Boone? Required.

Shay signs on, lured by the promise of intimacy missing from her failed marriage. She’s barely survived a hellish year of heartbreak and needs a fresh start. Little does she know a clean break is the last thing she’ll get with the mysterious millionaire.

Reardon sticks to his tried and true rules: no-strings-attached seduction, no messy emotions, absolutely nothing resembling a real relationship. This sassy, sultry woman fits the bill precisely…until she arouses more than his erotic appetite.

A shark in the boardroom and a lady killer in the bedroom, Reardon is as irresistible as he is unattainable. Shay falls hard, but his inability to love could tear them apart. She finds out that beneath Reardon’s seductive mask lies a man as tortured as she is.

Author Bio:
A Yankee transplant via the UK and other wild journeys, Rie happily landed in Charleston, South Carolina, with her English artisan husband and their two small daughters–one an aspiring diva, the other a future punk rocker. After earning her degree in Fine Arts, Rie promptly gave up paintbrushes and canvas for paper and pen (because she decided being a writer was equally as good an idea as being an artist, of course it was). That was fifteen years ago, her writing career started! With a manuscript of super epic proportions! Safely stored under a lace doily in a filing cabinet. Possibly in England . . .

Since then she’s done this and that, here and there, usually in the nonprofit arena, until she returned to her dream of being a writer. Even though Rie basks in the glorious southern sunshine as often as she can, she’s mostly a nocturnal creature adjourning to her writer’s atelier (spare bedroom) in search of her next devious plot twist or delicious passionate tryst.

No matter what genre or gender pairing she’s writing, she combines a sexy southern edge with humor and heart–and a taste of darkness.

Steal This Resume: 500 Job-winning Resumes and Cover Letters You Can Use -
About Steal This Resume: 500 Job-winning Resumes and Cover Letters You Can Use:

The truth is there are a ton of books out there on how to write resumes. Many of the books are quite good. But studying an entire book about writing resumes is like learning auto mechanics just to drive across town.

Why bother?

Instead, why not find a great resume that’s already written and use the best parts for yourself?

It’s easy, cheap and saves you time better spent searching for that next great job.

Since Kindle cannot properly display resume and cover letter formats I’m including a special link at the end of this publication where you can download your free PDF version of “Steal This Resume”. This eBook is 913 pages long and contains over 500 job-winning resumes and cover letters formatted specifically to fit on regular-sized 8 ½ by 11-inch paper — exactly the way you’d submit a hard copy to a prospective employer.

As an added bonus I’m including three Special Reports you’re sure to find useful. Special Report #1 contains resources listing over 100,000 jobs available right now. Special Report #2 discloses what the hottest jobs will be from now until 2020. And Special Report #3 reveals the very best locations for finding great jobs.

“Steal This Resume” is the perfect resource for job-seekers. Each of the over 500 resumes and cover letters is precision-crafted using persuasive phrasing and powerful language aimed at finding great employment. The hard work has already been done. All you need to do is search out the perfect phrase or paragraph or description and make it yours.

Simple.

And it’s a ton easier than writing your own great resume from scratch. Much faster, too.

The only way I can make this any easier is by coming over to your place and writing a resume for you. Which I’m happy to do but professional resume writers like me are very expensive.

Now let me tell you a little secret no professional resume writer wants you to know: we all use the same power verbs and action adjectives and marketing phrases over and over again. Really.

Think about it. When I’m writing a great resume for a new client I always refer back to my previous resumes and pull out the best words and phrases to use again.

And why not? There are really only a limited number of words and phrases to use anyway. But once you know what they are and where to put them you can use them yourself with great success.

And they’re all in my 913-page eBook “Steal This Resume” just waiting for you.

Picture it like strolling down a restaurant buffet where you can select the choicest words or phrases or descriptions and load them all onto your plate. Yours for the taking. And reasonably priced, too.

You’ll like the powerful wording and strong descriptions. Instead of spending valuable time and effort hunting for just the right word or phrase you can simply use what’s already worked for someone else. See, I’ve already done the hard part for you. Each resume and cover letter in my 913-page eBook is powerfully engineered to present the job-seeker in the very best light for the very best job. That job-seeker could be you.

Why shouldn’t it be?

So what are you waiting for? With so many others out hunting for good jobs time is critical.

500 job-winning resumes and cover letters plus 3 Special Reports all for just $8.95. When you think about it that’s less than two cents per sample. Holy Mackerel – I’m selling resumes for pennies! Now that’s affordable.

Order the Kindle version of “Steal This Resume” now and have it downloaded instantly. On the last page you’ll find the link to download the 913-page PDF version free.

But don’t delay. This is your future and now is the time to find the perfect job you deserve.

And it all starts with your job-winning resume and cover letter. Order now.

Fomorian Earth: Star Borne: 1 -
About Fomorian Earth: Star Borne: 1:

1500 BC — The Isle of Destiny is overrun by Fomorian giants. Their king, Balor of the Evil Eye, who rules over Humans with an iron fist, keeps other humanoid species as slaves. The giants are untouchable until the starship Vireo, carrying an advanced race of humanoids, comes crashing to Earth.

Caught in the midst of the eve of Samhain, the bloodiest pagan festival of the year, the new arrivals struggle to survive. The Fomorians interpret their presence as that of the prophesied Destroyer. Their mission, seek and destroy whatever fell to Earth, before it destroys them.

Fomorian Earth is speculative science fiction, inspired by the Celtic mythology of the Tuatha dé Danann and Fomorians of ancient Ireland. Today, ancient astronaut theorists are suggesting that both the Fomorians and the Tuatha dé Danann were extraterrestrial astronauts from another star system, and it is from this possibility that the Star Borne epic series comes to life. Interweaving historical fact with science fiction and fantasy, Fomorian Earth brings to life the power struggles, bloody human sacrifices, and treachery of an Earth before Humans became the dominant species.

The Art of Hacking -
About The Art of Hacking:

The world as it exists today is barely recognizable as the same world that existed on hundred, or even fifty, years ago. The last century has seen innovation after innovation reshape and revolutionize almost every aspect of human existence. Far from bringing us to an end point – a settled state in which no further innovation is possible – the rate of change has increased exponentially in recent decades. It seems that we a set firmly on a path of endless enhancement.

This leads us to ask: where does innovation come from, and how does it happen?

The answer, quite simply, is people. People have ideas. People strive to make their ideas a reality. Through this, people create change.

We call these people hackers. A hack is a small change to the recognized way of doing things, which leads to a large-scale increase in efficiency, success, or achievement. Hackers break the rules and change the game. Hackers are the most important members of our society, of any society, as they hold the power to shape the future.

This book celebrates the lives and achievements of some of history’s greatest hackers: from Tim Berners-Lee to Jack Dorsey, from Leonardo da Vinci to Steve Jobs. Learn about who they were and how they functioned. Discover the characteristics that allow hackers to keep pushing forward, innovating, revolutionizing industries and changing the world.

Three weary travelers, the last in their group are heading towards Mexico. After the outbreak they heard it was a safe place and are determined to make a life for themselves there.

Stressed, bloody and exhausted the three stumble upon a back woods cabin in the middle of nowhere. There is Buck, an aspiring cage fighter and his beautiful wife Denny. Buck’s sister Tammy completes the ensemble from a clan that used to number over a dozen.

The remains of the fleeing family desperately need rest and the cabin that the Taylor brothers hold out in seems the safest place they have been in months. Fighting off zombies daily has taken its toll on the three travelers and the reluctant hospitality the brothers offer is a Godsend.

Buck soon realizes though that all is not as it seems as the brothers start playing mind games with the group and continue to delay their departure.

Is he just being paranoid? Or were they safer on the road with the zombies?

Summer of the Loon by Deanna Lynn Sletten -
About Summer of the Loon by Deanna Lynn Sletten:

New Release Deal $1.99 March 5-9th!

From the author of Maggie’s Turn and Sara’s Promise comes a heartwarming story of family and first love.

Life can change in a heartbeat…

Ali Jenson’s life changed forever the moment her mother died. The sixteen-year-old was suddenly swept away from the life she knew in California to live with her estranged grandfather in the deep woods of northern Minnesota. Ali’s life has never been easy, but it seems her grandfather is trying his best to make it even more difficult. Her only hope is to get through the summer and her last year of high school so she can return to her old life in California. What she hadn’t counted on was slowly becoming attached to the grumpy old man and falling in love for the very first time.

Benjamin Jenson never planned on meeting his granddaughter, let alone having her live with him. He wasn’t thrilled with the idea of a teenage girl coming into his home or his life. He’d been down that path once before, and he didn’t want to relive it again. But he is her only living relative, and he knew his deceased wife, Lizzie, would have wanted him to give Ali a home. Grudgingly, he figured he could put up with the girl for a year. He never expected Ali to find a way into his heart and make him face painful past memories and his worst fear. The fear of losing yet another person he loves.

Will Ben finally put away the past and give Ali the one thing she’s always dreamed of? A home.

Red Clover by Florence Osmund -

About Red Clover by Florence Osmund

Imagine feeling like an outsider. Now imagine feeling like an outsider in your own family.

Lee Oliver Winekoop is born into extreme wealth, but despite his near genius IQ, he doesnʾt have the resourcefulness to realize any of its benefits. His motherʾs passive parenting style and frequent absences from their lakefront mansion leave him in the care of nannies as a child even when sheʾs home, making Lee feel unwanted and alone, and his fatherʾs inexplicable contempt toward him only makes matters worse.

When Lee is twenty-six, his motherʾs favorite uncle dies and leaves him a sizable inheritance—an inheritance with some bizarre strings attached. But as soon as he tries to start using it to mold an identity for himself, his world is turned upside-down when he learns shocking family secrets—causing him to rethink who he is and where heʾs going.

Readers will find Leeʾs reinvention of himself on his journey into manhood surprising; the roadblocks he confronts unnerving; and the cast of characters he befriends along the way both heartwarming and amusing.

About People Like Us:

It should have been easy, Nicolas Keszthelyi knew. The nuns at the Carmelite convent of Notre-Dame-de-Pitié had no idea that their collection of religious bric-a-brac contained a lost masterpiece worth millions. Anyone could have walked away with it. Certainly an unscrupulous dealer like Keszthelyi – with a network of shady contacts and an amoral devotion to beauty – should have had no trouble at all…

Should.

Now two people are dead, the convent has been burnt to the ground, and the work of art has vanished. Nicolas Keszthelyi is fleeing from the forces of law and order, and the only way for him to escape the consequences of his actions is to tell the whole story, including the parts that the police would rather stayed hidden.

People Like Us is a story about aesthetics, unrequited love, and what to do with frozen courgettes.

Why Leadership Sucks by Miles Anthony Smith -

About Why Leadership Sucks by Miles Anthony Smith

What is leadership? How do we define leadership? What is servant leadership? What are the most effective leadership characteristics? Do you wish your company had a leadership development program, or are you frustrated with organizational leadership? Do you wonder why some leadership styles suck? You are not alone.

So why does leadership suck? It sucks because real leadership is hard, requires selfless service, and because the buck stops here. Servant leadership or Level 5 leadership is uncomfortable, humbling, self-denying, painful, and counter-intuitive; nonetheless, servant leadership is the only kind of leadership that brings lasting results, genuine happiness, and true self-fulfillment.

To discover why servant leadership is frustrating and learn practical leadership principles for your leadership journey, download a sample or purchase Why Leadership Sucks for only $2.99 for a limited time.

Mortom -
About Mortom:

Mortom: population 986.

On the outskirts of town, 33-year-old Craig Moore is found drowned in the lake. A loner and town eccentric, few attend the funeral.

One week later Andy Crowl arrives in Mortom, still stunned by his cousin’s death and equally confused why everything was left to him. The two hadn’t spoken in years and shared little outside of fierce childhood competition.

But Craig hardly did him a favor. The estate amounts to little more than a drained bank account and a property overridden with junk. When Andy finds a dead rat under the refrigerator with a key in its mouth, he thinks it’s some sort of sick joke. Then he finds the letter left by Craig, written two days before his death … detailing the rules of “the game.”

Light in the Mountains — Namaste, Rakshi, and Electricity in a Himalayan Village -
About Light in the Mountains — Namaste, Rakshi, and Electricity in a Himalayan Village:

At his wife’s behest, Jeff Rasley first trekked the Himalayas to resolve a mid life crisis. His travels around Nepal eventually connected him with a remote village in eastern Nepal called Basa.

What is real community? In Light in the Mountains Rasley relates what he discovered in the unique and ancient communal practices of the Rai people in remote Basa Village in the Nepal Himalayas. Rasley was welcomed into the community, not as stranger or even guest, but as “Dhai”– brother. The villagers taught Rasley the true meaning of communal hospitality. Rasley has returned each year to Basa and has helped to build an elementary school, a hydroelectric system, smokeless stoves, and a water system. But Rasley affirms that he has received more from Basa than he has given.

Reviewers have praised Bringing Progress to Paradise, the prequel to Light in the Mountains, as a more honest Three Cups of Tea. It is “Part memoir, part travelogue, part documentary, this true adventure captures your interest in the opening pages and leaves you yearning for your own personal pilgrimage through the remote villages of Nepal.” Cherri Megasko

“Well written and full of colorful descriptions and insights about the mystical Nepalese, this book made me want to get in high-altitude shape and go trekking under the shadows of the Himalayas to meet these wonderful people.” Glen Craney

Light in the Mountains is a call to those living in urban North America and Europe to regain the connectedness of community. The wisdom offered to “us” by Basa Village is to work hard but sing, dance, cultivate flowers, and enjoy life in community.

Readers of Bringing Progress to Paradise demanded the rest of the story:

“But the central issue … demanding a sequel, is the question of whether the “Progress” he is bringing, while admittedly of material value to the villagers, might lead to some degree of corruption of their way of life, a consumerist, Western-oriented degradation of a spiritual depth and sensitivity to their surroundings… I can hardly wait for the necessary follow-up in the next book of the series.” John McLaughlin, Ph.D.

“The reader is taken on a fascinating journey to explore, compare and contrast, as well as debate how the meeting of the East and West has altered the landscape and lives of people in this remote part of the globe.” Erika Borsos

“If I could picture a time pre-written word and be sitting around a campfire with the people of my community listening to the old story teller sharing stories of the quests of our people, I could picture Mr. Rasley being that story teller.” DJ Sauer

If you liked Seven Years in Tibet or 3 Cups of Tea, read Light in the Mountains to find out whether “progress” has damaged the village called a beautiful little flower in the mountains.

Dorm Daddy A Hot Gay Novella from Andy Cox

Ed has his hands full with two young college guys bunking with him until State U has their dorm rooms ready. The fun begins in Ed’s car during the ride home and doesn’t end until their last night together. Watch the young men play dress-up with Ed’s dearly departed mom’s sexy negligees. Spankings and other punishments have little effect in curbing these rambunctious young men’s appetite for sex.
There’s a shower scene similar to the one in Hitchcock’s “Psycho.” But don’t worry. It ends hilariously. Gets a little serious at the very end when Ed relives a moment from his childhood. But every page promises to have you laughing or doing something else in secret. Women who love reading male erotica will get a kick out of Dorm Daddy.

About The Opposite of Normal by Judy Mollen Walters:

When Rabbi Mark Friedlander moves his teenage children from Manhattan to a quiet town in Northwestern New Jersey after the death of their mother, he hopes for a fresh start, a place for him and his children to heal while he leads a vibrant synagogue that will embrace them. What he gets instead is just the opposite.

His daughter, Hannah, twelve, struggles with grief, loneliness, and what it means to be Jewish as a Chinese adoptee. She wants to fit in, but that’s difficult in their new mostly white and Christian town–so she decides to secretly convert.

His son, Aaron, a senior in high school, is applying to Ivy League schools and counting down to when he can leave the small town–until he discovers a shocking secret that threatens his entire future.

Lurking in the shadows is a pastor who says he just wants to support the kids in his congregation, but is that all he really wants?

The Opposite of Normal is about what it means to love and accept, what it means to do the right thing, and what it means to heal after loss.

Elsewhen by Gary Buloock -

About Elsewhen by Gary Buloock

Little Laura Elizabeth Austin (Laura Bess grows up in a small farming town in the midwest. Already a genius at age 8, she and equally bright Elijah Grant (Lije) are very different from other kids their age, but Laura Bess and Lije have each other.

They are fascinated with Science and endlessly talk about the big cosmological questions – the nature of time, black holes, the origin and the destiny of the universe, and the two little geniuses become soul-mates, at the tender age of 8.

They even have their first kiss while debating the nature of Time. (Laura says it doesn’t exist).

But they are also troubled by strange visions. Laura sees people who aren’t “there”. A mysterious Indian woman suddenly appears when she is playing alone one day, then just as suddenly disappears. Laura begins to think she is seeing ghosts, then realizes the people she sees think that she is a ghost. Very puzzling to an 8-year old, and she learns not to talk about it.

Lije sees flashes of things that haven’t happened – yet. A scene of devastation. The face of a young woman reflected in a window. An older man raising his glass in a toast. Meaningless to an 8-year old boy.

By age 17, the two of them are inseparable. Laura wins a full scholarship to Stanford, Lije to MIT. They pledge their love the night before they are to leave for college. But as Laura Bess flies off to San Francisco, the plane goes down. There are no survivors.

Lije is devastated; he can’t believe he has lost the love of his life. His passion for the sciences, and life in general, fade away.

Years later, Lije works at a radio astronomy site, in a deadly dull job, tracking space junk all day. But during a routine track of a deep space satellite, it suddenly veers out of orbit, then disappears into the depths of space.

He investigates, and discovers that it is the work of a small black hole, which is gobbling up everything in its path, and it is coming closer. The Earth has a only a few days before it’s swallowed.

And that’s when Laura Bess walks up to Lije in a coffee shop and says “Hello, Stranger.”

The future just isn’t what it used to be, and neither is the past.
