2. Guilty Innocence by Maggie James -

   About Guilty Innocence by Maggie James:

   Two eleven-year-old boys.

   One two-year-old girl.

   A murder that shocked the nation.

   Ten years after being convicted of the brutal killing of a toddler, Mark Slater, formerly Joshua Barker, is released on parole from prison. Only the other boy jointly sentenced for Abby Morgan’s murder, the twisted and violent Adam Campbell, knows the truth. That Mark played no part in Abby’s death.

   Four years later, Mark’s on-off girlfriend discovers a letter revealing his conviction as a child killer. At risk of having his protective cover made public, Mark’s need to confront the injustice of his sentence becomes overwhelming. Desperate to find answers, he initiates a friendship with Abby’s older sister, something strictly prohibited by the terms of his parole. Rachel Morgan, however, unaware of Mark’s former identity, is battling her own emotional demons.

   Meanwhile, circumstances have thrust Mark back in contact with Adam Campbell, who, aged twenty-five, is more domineering and chilling than ever. Can Mark rewrite history and confront his nemesis?

   A gritty novel examining child murder and dysfunctional families, Guilty Innocence tells of one man’s struggle to break free from his past.

   Author Bio:
   Maggie James is a British author who lives in Bristol. She writes psychological suspense novels.

   The first draft of her first novel, entitled His Kidnapper’s Shoes, was written whilst travelling in Bolivia. Maggie was inspired by an impending birthday along with a healthy dose of annoyance at having procrastinated for so long in writing a novel. His Kidnapper’s Shoes was published in both paperback and e-book format in 2013, followed by her second novel, entitled Sister, Psychopath. Her third novel, Guilty Innocence, has now been published, and like her first two, features her home city of Bristol. She is currently working on her fourth novel.

   Before turning her hand to writing, Maggie worked mainly as an accountant, with a diversion into practising as a nutritional therapist. Diet and health remain high on her list of interests, along with travel. Accountancy does not, but then it never did. The urge to pack a bag and go off travelling is always lurking in the background! When not writing, going to the gym, practising yoga or travelling, Maggie can be found walking dogs and fostering homeless cats; animals are a lifelong love!

   About Boy Meets Girl by Robert Lynn:

   Kenny Marimee longs to find his place in this world. He would also like to have one normal date before he dies. BOY MEETS GIRL chronicles the adventures of Kenny and his offbeat friends, and their quirky, awkward relationships with females from pre-kindergarten through high school. The story is told by Kenny himself as he looks back on the hilarious, goofy, and bewildering times he shared with his friends and with girls, from the perspective of an eighteen year-old about to go away to college in 1981.

   Joining Kenny on his quest is Bobby Driscoll, the well-meaning, but unlucky best friend of Kenny. There’s Johnny Corcoran, the strong, intelligent boy whose Irish-Catholic guilt won’t allow him much fun. There’s Tony Morretoni, the public school “bad boy” who stirs up trouble. And there’s Eddie, the cheapest kid ever to hit the dating scene. In a prairie behind Kenny’s house, the boys build a clubhouse out of old railroad ties. It is there that they spend their days forging friendships, solving the world’s problems, and planning the perfect date.

   Author Bio:
   A novelist, actor, blogger and playwright, Robert Lynn’s full-length Christmas-themed comedy, The ReGifters, has been performed in venues throughout the US. The play is the winner of the New American Comedy Festival and is published by Heuer Publishing. Robert’s play, With Friends Like These, was performed in Dubuque and is also published by Heuer.

   The Stupid Economy, a one-woman show is currently on tour, most recently appearing at Theatre Row in NYC and the Metropolis Performing Arts Center in the Chicago area. His ten-minute play, Palindrome Love was a winner in the Short & Sweet Sydney 10-minute play festival, was performed in Sydney Australia in February 2009, in the Washington DC Capital Fringe Festival in the summer of 2010, and at Fury Theatre in Chicago in 2013. It was also a semifinalist in the Heartland Festival (Normal IL), where his play, A Good Man, was a 2010 winner. Other writing credits include the Iowa Play Festival, and the Cedar Lane Stage & Sandy Spring Theatre Group’s One Act Festival (Bethesda, MD). He is a member of the Dramatists’ Guild of America, Inc.

   Acting is in Robert’s blood, along with a whole lot of alcohol. During a performance of Godspell in 2005, Robert literally followed the pre-show advice of the backstage crew to “break a leg” when he fell into the orchestra pit drunk, and broke the leg of the viola player. The subsequent lawsuit cost him thousands of dollars and had him as the viola player’s butler for a time, but Robert remains upbeat about the sobering experience. “It was really a wakeup call for me,” said Robert. “Now I do all my drinking upstage, and don’t go anywhere near the orchestra pit…unless I need someplace to throw-up.” Reviled by theater orchestras everywhere, Robert was voted “Most Likely to be Found Impaled on an Oboe” in 2010.

   Aliens. They’re here and they’re coming for you. They don’t care about your civilization, they don’t want your resources and they really don’t give a damn about your human rights. They’ll hunt you down for the sheer joy of it, and the only thing standing between them and you are the enhanced soldiers of X-Troop.

   If only it were that simple, though.

   Amid the corruption and decay of a post-industrial England, X-Troop struggle to fund their private security activities. Operating outside the law, they’re forced to improvise against an enemy most people don’t even know exist. Not that it normally bothers Alex Harvey. As an ex-SAS trooper, he’s used to getting by with the bare minimum. But when he stumbles across clues that point to a possible secret alien base, even he has to concede that this is a task beyond the capabilities of himself and his men.

   They’re going to need help. Government help.

   And that’s when their troubles really begin.

12. Black & White by Erol Rashit -

    About Black & White by Erol Rashit:

    A young man, Igor, adopts as his mother a middle aged woman, Sylvia, after meeting her in a café, each having come from the nearby cemetery. In taking it upon himself to investigate the gruesome death of Sylvia’s son, Igor soon finds himself confronting racists. Sylvia is black; Igor is white. The deeper he delves into the sordid activities of drug traffickers in Los Angeles, the more intricately embroiled he becomes and the more he becomes the focus of a police investigation himself.

    The heroes and villains are not difficult to spot – they might, if this were an old Western movie, almost be wearing white and black hats respectively. Then again, the hats could be misleading. Igor’s appetite for polyamorous relationships is not exactly respectable. Nor is his willingness to match the brutality of those he seeks to outwit as he immerses himself within a tangled web of deception and violence.

He studied ecology at the University of Liverpool, and obtained a PhD from the University of London for research into the effects of environmental fluctuations on species diversity.

Eventually, he resorted to paid employment, qualified as an accountant and for several years held the post of Chief Accountant at Imperial College. Having made enough money to fund his future (modest) requirements, he has withdrawn from the ‘rat race’ in order to concentrate on his main interest: techniques for examining the illusion of ‘the ghost in the machine’ and for tracing consciousness back to its true source.

    He has a son, Ramana, with whom he remains in close contact.

20. Corpses Say The Darndest Things by Doug Lamoreux -

    About Corpses Say The Darndest Things by Doug Lamoreux:

    It was a simple job, babysitting really; keep surveillance on the minister’s wife until she went safely to bed. Then all hell broke loose.

    The death of Katherine Delp, wife of Chicago’s most beloved televangelist is only the beginning. Someone is homiciding their way through the congregation of the Temple of Majesty Church and, thanks to his eager and awkward young secretary, private eye Nod Blake, an aging throwback to a by-gone era of detecting on the mean streets, a dinosaur who never got the memo he was extinct, who sometimes thinks he’s Bogart, George Raft, and Lee Marvin rolled into one, has been dumped in the middle of it all, on his head. The resulting injuries have somehow opened the door to the here-after. Dead people, Blake believes, are talking to him. Are the victims really begging the last gumshoe for help from the other side of the grave? Is he hallucinating? Or has he lost his friggin’ mind? When his nemesis, Detective Lieutenant Wenders finds evidence Blake is the murderer, the private dick’s life becomes a great big soup sandwich.

    Corpses Say the Darndest Things is a paranormal murder mystery with a sly sense of humor, set in 1979 Chicago where a maniacal killer on the loose in The Windy City… is the good news.

    “Lamoreux is a clever writer and quite funny. He manages to combine humor with a very grisly murder mystery in an engaging manner… the author has found his genre.” – J M McDole, Impact On-line

    Author’s excerpt from the novel:

    I admit I was careless and foolish. But Gina was out there, unmoving, alone. I hurried down the moonlit aisle between the shadowy gauntlet of bins bookending the door, as quickly as my limp allowed, and peered out at the church secretary face down at the far end. She was still as death and I can’t describe the bottomless feeling that overwhelmed me. With no further thought, I started out after her.
    The beauty of some mistakes is you find out so quickly you’ve made them. I was still ten feet away from her when I discovered mine.

    Author Bio:
    The last, quite possibly the least, Renaissance man, Doug Lamoreux (a father of three strong men and a grandfather), a lifelong horror film fan and child of Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine, recognized his incompatibility with the rest of the world – and gave it all up to act and write. He appeared in Mark Anthony Vadik’s The Thirsting (aka Lilith) and Hag. He starred in Peter O’Keefe’s Infidel and Boris Wexler’s The Arab. All interspersed with forty years in theater (during which he fell off the stage twice). Now he writes swell horror novels. The first-ever Igor Award recipient from The Horror Society, Doug is also a former Rondo Award nominee, and his novel, Dracula’s Demeter, was a 2012 Lord Ruthven Award nominee for fiction.

    About Iron Cross by Bianca Sommerland

    Too many penalties may leave the goal vulnerable without the IRON CROSS.

    After overcoming a potentially career-ending concussion, Tyler Vanek, Dartmouth Cobras first line forward, couldn’t be happier with his life. Until his boyhood hero-worship for Raif Zovko, a newly acquired player, develops into more. His mistress, ‘Chicklet’ encourages him to explore his feelings, and with her enjoyment of toying with the powerful Dom, Tyler figures it might be fun.

    Laura Tallent, a dedicated officer with the Halifax PD, and Chicklet’s first sub, is tired of Tyler’s fun disrupting the structure of her world. Devotion to her mistress kept her silent for two years, but a horrible case and more proof that Tyler is the worst sub in existence has her wondering how much better life would be if he was someone else’s problem. Someone like Raif.

    Raif won’t deny the lust he feels for Tyler, but he refuses to play games with a young man who’s questioning his sexuality—he won’t be an experimental phase for an unruly submissive. But when Laura draws him into a plan to remove Tyler from her poly relationship with Chicklet, his protective instincts take over. He partners with Chicklet to protect Tyler and dig deeper into the reasons behind Laura’s scheming. Chicklet clearly loves her boy, she won’t let him go. And before long, Raif realizes neither can he.

    Blindsided by the discord in her household, Chicklet struggles to fulfill her subs’ needs as their careers throw challenges at them all. Control is slipping from her hands, but with Raif by her side, she prays her relationships can be saved. Salvaging the future means rebuilding with a new foundation. But the only way to make the base solid is for them all to work together. And with all the secrecy and lies, she has no idea where to start.

    This is the 6th book in the Dartmouth Cobras Series and they are best read in order.

    For Gemma Green’s first time, things should have been straightforward. Find your subject, hold their gaze and push a thought into their head to save them from future disaster – Aversion complete. A pretty simple process given that the subject was to have no recollection of the experience. But Russ Tanner doesn’t seem to want to forget. In fact the more she tries to avoid him, the more he pushes to get to know her. Gemma knows she has a problem but is she facing the side effects of a failed Aversion or has the school’s tennis champ really fallen for her?

23. Fic by Anne Jamison -

    About Fic by Anne Jamison:

    We’ve all read the news stories: Thanks to Fifty Shades of Grey and Amazon’s new Kindle Worlds initiative, fanfiction is “taking over” the publishing industry. But fanfiction isn’t a new phenomenon. And the process of reading, writing, and sharing it is a lot richer and a lot more valuable, both for the individual and our culture, than most news coverage gives it credit for.

    Fic: Why Fanfiction is Taking Over the World is a groundbreaking book-length exploration of the history and culture of fan writing, and what its future means for the way we think about reading, writing, and authorship. It’s a story about literature, community, and technology—about what stories are being told, who’s telling them, and how.

    With provocative discussions from both professional and fan writers, on subjects from Sherlock Holmes to Star Trek to The X-Files and Buffy the Vampire Slayer to Harry Potter and Twilight, Fic sheds light on the widely misunderstood world(s) of fanfiction—not just how fanfiction is transforming the literary landscape, but how it already has.

    About Using Self-Therapy Journey to Stop Overeating by Jay Earley, PhD:

    Self-Therapy Journey is an interactive online tool for psychological healing and transformation, which has a module for overeating.

    If you struggle with eating and weight issues, Self-Therapy Journey can help you turn that around. If you are having trouble eating in a moderate way, then your overeating is probably driven by unconscious or unresolved emotional issues. Even though you may love certain foods or revel in the sensuality of taste, overeating comes from a deeper psychological place. It may be an attempt to soothe yourself or to meet needs for nurturing. It may be unconsciously designed to distract or numb yourself so you don’t feel painful emotions that are coming to the surface.

    Using Self-Therapy Journey to Stop Overeating shows how this online tool works and how to use it to change your eating—for good!

    He saw the world in grey. She gave him back his colour.

    In one stolen moment, a man bared his soul. She only saw him through her camera lens but she’s overwhelmed by the desire to comfort him.

    When Bailey meets scarily attractive Aiden, she’s struck by the oddest feeling he’s in pain. He soon proves how bogus first impressions can be. He’s not in pain. He causes pain, belittling with his intelligence and humiliating with his wit.

    Aiden’s life is wildly out of balance. But no-one needs to know that, least of all the sparkling Bailey, even if it means ruining a perfectly good professional relationship with the only woman who ever made him forget Shannon.

    Then together they save a man’s life, Aiden’s two realities collide and Bailey discovers she’s stolen his soul.

    Writing is a passion for many people, but not everyone can type out as many words as they would like or enough to really make writing a profitable venture. To be able to write for profit, you need to be able to make it worth your time. That means that you must be able to write fast enough that you don’t feel that your time is being wasted or end up frustrated and give up.

    The big key to writing quickly and getting your work out there, whether it is a novel, a report, or even blog posts, is to know what your message is before you write, and then just write it without having to think while you do it. Is this even possible, writing without thinking about the words and sentence structure? Yes, it is! Some people can even sit and write out thousands of words at a time without thinking much at all. I know, that probably sounds far-fetched, but once you master the skill of speed writing, you will become a believer.

    What would you fight for? What would you die for?
    Though trained in the arts of war, these questions had never occurred to Senndra, an orphan following in her father’s footsteps, or Josiah, the ideal military cadet. When the two meet during an event meant to foster a solid relationship between their academies, they find themselves forced into battle with a forgotten evil. The combined elf, ogre, orc, and human armies could meet this invasion on fair terms, but strained relations between the races have made this possibility uncertain.
    For now Senndra, Josiah, and their comrades are all that stand between a massive army and total annihilation of their country, Magessa. Facing horrific odds, the young cadets have no hope of defeating the invading horde. It will be all that they can do to simply stave off the inevitable slaughter, but personal conflict, physical challenge, and internal struggle gets in the way. “How could God allow this to happen?” is the question running through their minds; a question made more poignant by the taunting of the enemy. Will Senndra, Josiah, and their friends be able to maintain their faith, overcome their trials, and find the strength to finally realize themselves as the Guardians of Magessa?

    The books I write about focus on fields that I have personal experience in. For example, my first two books focus on how to survive and thrive in college. However, I have experience in other fields such as business, electrical, and more. I plan on writing more books as time allows, with the intent of sharing my experience along with real advice, so my readers can make the most of the situation they are currently in or pursuing.

    Your support is greatly appreciated, any proceeds from my book sales will be used to support me during my most expensive years in college and hopefully allow me to get a head-start on raising capital to open up a local business.

    About MISTER BLACK:

    “We all have someone who crossed our path and fundamentally changed us. That one person who blew through our lives, their presence forever stamped on our psyche. They linger in our thoughts, in our hearts, and in the decisions we make. A soul crusher or a dream maker, depending on the perspective.

    My person is Mister Black.
    I didn’t know him by that name when I first met him.
    I didn’t know him at all, but the impression he left behind was just as powerful as the name I call him today.

    He is Black: a deadly enforcer and masterful seducer.
    I am Red: a justice bleeder and willing participant.
    Together we are passion. Colors colliding through each other’s lives.

    When our secrets converge in a passionate encounter, stepping out of the shadows just might be worth the risk.

    NOTE: Mister Black is meant for readers 18+ due to mature content. This is part 1 of a serial and is approximately 120 print pages.”

38. Destiny’s Anvil: A Tale of Politics, Payback & Pigs -

    About Destiny’s Anvil: A Tale of Politics, Payback & Pigs:

    Will Guidry’s career as a backwater lawyer is going nowhere until he has a couple of beers with up-and-coming political operative Tucker Callahan, whose family’s petrochemical fortune instills in him a confidence bordering on hubris. As Tucker explains to his rudderless brother, Carter, “Guidry and I made a deal because he needed a miracle and I wanted to play God.”

    Guidry rides Tucker’s political horse sense into the office of Louisiana’s Attorney General, while Tucker capitalizes on Guidry’s victory to bolster his own political reputation. But what should become a powerful alliance deteriorates into a bitter feud when Guidry tries to flex his political muscle and Tucker suspects he may have maneuvered a calculating sociopath into the marble halls of power.

    Caught in the crossfire is Carter, the story’s narrator. Devastated by betrayal at the hands of his brother and the woman he loved for a lifetime, a brooding Carter remains content to watch the power struggle between Tucker and Guidry from the sidelines. Everything changes when he stumbles on the charismatic attorney general committing a monstrous crime, and finds himself drawn into the vortex of his brother’s private war.

    Racing from a bungled execution through ruthless political payback and a no-holds-barred courtroom showdown, before culminating in a bloodbath by the side of a bayou, the stakes continue to rise and Carter finds his small-town naiveté peeling away. Replacing it is a mounting dread of what will happen when the hammer of Fate meets destiny’s anvil.

    Author Bio:
    Hicks came to Mississippi in 1974 and spent the next quarter century writing for various advertising agencies, including his own. He wrote commercials and print ads about hot dogs and other baloney, used cars, barbecue shacks, sunscreen, banks galore, white bread, undertakers, churches, casinos, turkey calls, finger-lickin’ chicken and symphony orchestras. Some of the work was thoughtful. Some was funny. Most was neither.

    During that period of time, he earned the enmity of his competitors and peers by being named Mississippi’s top copywriter nine times, winning six certificates of excellence in the International CLIO Awards, over 150 ADDY Awards, Radio Mercury honors and being included in Who’s Who in American Advertising.

    A major portion of his advertising and marketing income came through his work as a political consultant, engineering the media and messaging efforts for more than six dozen campaigns, culminating with the POLLIE Award for best statewide/national commercial from the American Association of Political Consultants in 1989.

    While the embarrassing abundance of honors mean next to nothing to Hicks, the education he got through the process meant everything. He learned how to write what people like. He learned to write with economy and clarity, because consumers won’t buy things from long-winded peddlers of perplexity. He learned when words have to be polished and when they’re best left plain.

    Through it all, people kept telling Hicks he should write books and he kept saying, “Maybe one day,” until the day came when a near-fatal stroke in 1997 forced him into an eyeball-to-eyeball confrontation with his own mortality, and he realized he wanted to be remembered for something more consequential than gimmicky commercials.

    There was only one hitch. The stroke had taken away his ability to read.

    For the next thirteen months, Hicks stubbornly stared at newspaper letters until he could form words, read sentences, then paragraphs, and finally had the ability to once again read novels, albeit at a far slower pace and with cognitive problems enhanced by lingering reading difficulties stemming from alexia, an aphasia problem cause by brain lesions.

    It made the headstrong Hicks more determined than ever to take a shot at those novels people had been encouraging him to write for years.

    Ten years and eleven revisions later came his debut novel, The Gleaner, a trans-racial romance set in a sleepy Mississippi whistle-stop. In a competition of 5,000 entries, The Gleaner was named a quarter-finalist in Amazon.com’s prestigious “Breakthrough Novel” competition. Upon its heels came two comic novels in 2009, The Fall of Adam, a satire of Deep South advertising, and Horizontal Adjustment, a farce about sexual escapades among competitors for a news anchor position in a tank town television station along the Florida Panhandle.

    Deciding to take a breather from novels, Hicks started publishing New Orleans restaurant guidebooks on an annual basis in 2011, all of which have become mainstays on Amazon.com’s list of the 100 top-selling books about world dining.

    In May of 2014, Hicks published his fourth novel, Destiny’s Anvil, which marked a stark departure from the breezy style of his earlier works.

    Steven Wells Hicks currently resides in Jackson, Mississippi, but is in the process of moving back to New Orleans.

    About Soul Thief: A thriller (Blue Light Series 2):

    99 Cent Bargain from June 24 – June 30, 2014

    Doug McArthur, hit in the face by a young friend at the age of seven, is suddenly able to see a supernatural creature who calls itself Collector. Doug’s life is turned upside down when he realizes that it’s not just the creature he sees, but the atrocities it commits.

    Since marrying Annie Doug’s visions have been quiet. Now Annie is pregnant with their first child-a child that promises to be special-and their world is in the process of coming apart, beginning with the destruction of their home and forcing them to run for their lives, back into the world of Annie’s childhood, the De Roche dynasty, to a murdered mother and a cruel and enigmatic father.

    Doug, whose love for Annie borders on the obsessive, has a deep and abiding hate for her father. He is nearly insane with grief over their plight, but soon finds that De Roche is the least of his worries when he begins to hear the pleading voice of a lost child that he cannot possibly save.

    Then, in the midst of Annie’s mother’s funeral, Doug is given a strange artifact, along with a dire warning by a dying priest. He must leave Annie and his unborn child and begin a sojourn into the darkest regions of the human heart.

    In his attempt to save his wife and unborn child, Doug finds that there is much more at stake than the lives of two people, perhaps the very salvation of the human soul.

    About Fic by Anne Jamison:

    We’ve all read the news stories: Thanks to Fifty Shades of Grey and Amazon’s new Kindle Worlds initiative, fanfiction is “taking over” the publishing industry. But fanfiction isn’t a new phenomenon. And the process of reading, writing, and sharing it is a lot richer and a lot more valuable, both for the individual and our culture, than most news coverage gives it credit for.

    Fic: Why Fanfiction is Taking Over the World is a groundbreaking book-length exploration of the history and culture of fan writing, and what its future means for the way we think about reading, writing, and authorship. It’s a story about literature, community, and technology—about what stories are being told, who’s telling them, and how.

    With provocative discussions from both professional and fan writers, on subjects from Sherlock Holmes to Star Trek to The X-Files and Buffy the Vampire Slayer to Harry Potter and Twilight, Fic sheds light on the widely misunderstood world(s) of fanfiction—not just how fanfiction is transforming the literary landscape, but how it already has.

    Devorah Asher is blessed with beauty, brains and a great collection of Georgette Heyer novels. What 30-year-old Devorah doesn’t have is one of the most highly prized commodities in her Orthodox Jewish community—a husband. Even when an eligible man does appear on the scene, she fumbles the opportunity by falling off a chair…and landing in Miss Heyer’s Regency England.

    She is taken under the wing of the very rich and very charming Duke of Ravenscroft, who suspects that Devorah is Jewish, just like his tenant, Jonathan Whyteman, and that Mr. Whyteman would be the perfect match for her. First, though, the duke needs to enlist Devorah’s aid with fending off the advances of the very persistent Lady Albinia Brinkburn.

    While the world thinks the duke is planning on marrying Devorah, she is slowly becoming attracted to Mr. Whyteman. But it’s the wrong place and the wrong century. So even though she has finally found The One, how can she straighten out this convoluted match?

48. Jackboot Britain -

    About Jackboot Britain:

    The Alternate History – What if Hitler beat the Brits?

    “Love and loss, hope and fear, triumph & tragedy; prejudice, cruelty and power…”

    JACKBOOT BRITAIN is a new novel set in an alternate 1940 in which Nazi Germany was victorious over the British Empire. Jackboot Britain is a nightmare world; the book tells a harrowing tale of militarisation, dehumanisation, prejudice, power and war, as it follows the trials and tribulations of a range of characters from various walks of life as they struggle to exist in a Europe – and occupied UK – ruled by the Germany of Adolf Hitler.

    From a platoon of captured British troops held as prisoners of war, to Major Jochen Wolf and the conflicted, and conflicting men of the SS in whose care they are placed; to the band of auxiliary partisans in the underground British resistance, anti-fascist veterans of the Spanish Civil War; to Naomi, a young, female Jewish teacher in Leeds and her clever, quirky male friend; Maisie a London shopgirl and Hans, an unwilling German soldier drafted to the Wehrmacht; Bill Wilson; ageing, monosyllabic alcoholic in a Bloomsbury pub; a humanist-libertarian journalist of renown; four young conscripts to the German Wehrmacht occupation force; Charlie, a disabled cockney street kid; the men of the SS Einsatzgruppen (action groups), whose ‘police’ work in occupied countries was a euphemism for murder and suppression; to the SS leaders themselves and their machinations for power and internecine intrigues, including “The Blond Beast”, one of the 20th century’s most notorious villains in SS and Police General Reinhard ‘The Hangman’ Heydrich himself…

    The tapestry of their lives is woven through the powerful tale of a dystopian world that could have been…

    Every aspect of ugliness and suppression associated with the barbarism of Nazi policy – from the genocidal aggression of the Security Police and SD in occupied territories to the devilish work in the shadows of the Gestapo secret police; the dehumanisation of entire races and those otherwise ‘unsuitable’ deemed ‘life unworthy of life’; the institutionalisation of scientific racism, the glorification of war and military conquest and its effects on a generation raised under its influence; the persecutions, the lust for power; the awful internment system of the concentration camps and the savage lethality of German policy in every sphere of life is explored in this wide-ranging alternate history novel; a book that harkens to the hellish years of German atrocities across continental Europe, by showing the terrifying possibilities of what could have been in a Nazi-occupied Britain…

    Jackboot Britain depicts the grim realities of a Nazi Britain and Hitler’s Europe through the lives and deaths, triumphs, setbacks and tragedies of this diverse range of characters, all of whom are caught up in the carnage and chaos of war in this story of love and loss, hope and fear, prejudice, cruelty and power.

    Each tale runs its course through a nightmare that seems unimaginable to the modern British sensibility, but that at one, disquieting moment in modern history, threatened to engulf the world whole. As each character manoeuvres in the dark shadow of National Socialism and its jackbooted armies, we see each story unfold as they near their own powerful conclusions, each trapped by the malevolent force that brought unparalleled suffering and chaos to the world.

    A missing girl. A search across a flooded city. A resurgence of terror.

    And there’s something in the water. Something pushing its way up to the surface. Young Billy finds it one day when he is rowing a borrowed boat home. It’s dead, seemingly harmless, but what it represents isn’t.

    Far from it.

    But that’s not all.

    A crazy old hoarder. A curious old shop, frozen in time. A face at a window.

    And at the heart of it all, the missing girl…

50. Swimming In Clouds -

    About Swimming In Clouds:

    These are ten of my favourite stories, being tales of everyday people struggling through sadness and hope while hoping for connections within distance, all of them trying to find a liveable pathway through the minutiae of daily living.
    In A SWIM IN THE CLOUDS, two once-close sisters reconnect through words and books, but mostly through action while confronting their dark past, and their hopes for a better future.

    In GIRAFFE SPOTS, a lonely man who is missing his sister’s support learns how to blow bubbles and forgive while spending an afternoon in the park with three surprising new friends.

    In UP AGAINST A WALL, an everyday family man stoically performs his job, but lives for his family, while feeling his life is unappreciated by all, especially his beloved, distant daughter.

    In BOBBY LOU, a once-exiled and self-confessed flasher returns to his home town seeking redemption, reconciliation or understanding, and rekindles an important connection.

    In HAZARD LIGHTS, two lonely co-workers struggle to be true while keeping their affair a secret, yet daren’t admit even the most rudimentary feelings towards each another.

    In COLD, a relationship-questioning drunk discusses his problems with his partner’s cat in the garden while said partner sleeps, seeking answers or reason but finding only mistakes.

    In HALFWAY HOME, a long-term family man struggles to find any kind of happiness in his distant wife or mocking daughters, and finds he feels happier living within his sleeping reality.

    In EVERY MINUTE, a boy and his mother struggle to find any kind of sleep or peace, pining for the man of their house who is no longer with them, while wishing for a better future.

    In HOW EASY WE BREAK, a barely-functioning, self-distancing alcoholic tries to keep hold of himself but slips, and slips again, influencing and harming those who would love him.

    In LADDERS, a currently unemployed, middle-aged, repeating-father is unhappy at home, but finds an unexpected way to dream while resolving his past mental and physical issues.

    Author Bio:
    I have always been interested in fiction, both the reading and writing.

    The first short story I can recall writing was back in 1978 when I broke a bone in my foot and couldn’t play outside. It was a mystery called “The Bortons Have A Mystery”. You can see my creative juices at work even then. I wrote my first novel in 1987, with a second following soon after, at which point I was hooked.

    Since then I have written hundreds of short stories, from just 50 to 25000 words, and more than 20 novels, most of which I never submitted for publication as I was already too interested in the NEXT story/character. I’ve also written a handful of radio, TV and film scripts.

    These days I’m trying to take a little more care with my words, and while still writing new stories (shorts and novels), I’m also delving into my past to resuscitate my favourite oldies.

    As for “training”… outside of life, which remains the biggest and best teacher, I enrolled on a correspondence writing course in the late eighties and had a couple of short stories and articles published, and in the mid-to-late nineties graduated from the University of Derby with a BA Hons in Experience of Writing with Literature.

    In the noughties I was fortunate to chance upon a very creative and supportive (but now sadly defunct) writing and critique circle online, which re-inspired my post-degree funk, and published a few things, and nominated one of my stories for the Pushcart Prize.

    My main area of interest is everyday people and their trials and tribulations, often with an element of unreal added to the mix. But such is life.

    I hope you enjoy anything of mine you read/buy. Please feel free to visit my blog or contact me/keep in touch via Facebook or Twitter. I look forward to hearing from you.

    Author Bio:
    I’m Dan Eitreim and I worked as a professional photographer running my own photo studio for over 20 years. I’ve never apprenticed or worked for any other photographers. Because of this, I’ve had to learn and develop my photography skills on my own.

    My first attempts were dismal to say the least…so I studied, practiced and developed my photo skills and along the way I not only learned how to put the “wow” into my photos, but I’ve also learned how to teach others to do the same!

    To that end I’ve compiled a 23 volume series of photo training lessons that I’ve titled: “On Target Photo Training”.

    I enjoy creating e-books and expect to be developing more!
