Delly’s Last Night -
About Delly’s Last Night:

A decade-old conspiracy is about to unravel….

This will be Delly’s last night as a one of the world’s best professional thieves. She’s retiring after cracking one last safe. The safe belongs to an old enemy, Neal Cadogan, who catches her red-handed and ties her up while he decides what to do with her.

Neal and Delly were once lovers but the rift that separates them is filled with bitterness. Now with Delly at his mercy, Neal takes his revenge, which reverts to a night of heated sexual need seasoned by years of lies. It is a sensual power-play with each determined to outsmart the other. But their warped passion is the key that unlocks the door on a decade-old conspiracy that will utterly change their lives.

WARNING: This book contains frequent, explicit and frank sex scenes and sexual language. It includes heart-stopping sexual scenes and light bondage. Do not proceed beyond this point if hot love scenes offend you.

PS: Don’t try this at home — the neighbours may not understand…and the police certainly won’t.

Author Bio:
Jean LeGrand is unsure whether he cooks because he likes to eat or that he eats because he likes to cook.

“Actually,” he says, “I cook for a number of reasons beyond just paying the bills.” Here are some of the reasons he offers:

“I think cooking is an art, a form of self-expression, so I cook to create something new.”

“I like how cooking brings family and friends together.”

“I enjoy the creative process and get a kick out of watching my friends and family enjoy my creations.”

“The exploration aspect of cooking — new tastes and new techniques — is very exciting.”

“I’m good at it, so I get a great feeling of satisfaction and pride when I make a dish that brings compliments … the biggest one being when things start to get quiet because everybody is enjoying the food experience so much that they forget to talk.”

LeGrand writes recipe books because “I like the fact that I can take all the enjoyment I get from cooking and extend it beyond my circle of family and friends. It makes me happy that I’m helping people enjoy both the cooking and eating side of great food.”

Author Bio:
Nigel Cooper was born in England, UK. He grew up in the Lake District, but later moved down south to London.

Nigel wouldn’t really want to work for any company that would employ him, he has been self-employed for most of his working life as: photographer, classical pianist, private detective, video producer, magazine founder/editor, rant columnist and journalist.

In his early years Nigel also had several irrelevant and inconsequential jobs including working as stretch limo driver and a one-man operator/bus driver for London Transport. He still has his PSV (Public Service Vehicle) licence, badge and pass to prove it.

While in the employment of another company he actually got sacked for being too efficient at what he did; piece-work at a belt factory in Queens Crescent, North London. It upset the other factory workers that he was earning three times more money than they were. The boss (sad as it made him) had to let Nigel go due to the unrest and tension on the factory floor.

Of the menial jobs where Nigel was employed, they never lasted more than nine months; at least his boredom threshold didn’t. Working as a commis chef, bus driver and salesman, all ended after exactly nine months. The fact that these jobs lasted the term of a pregnancy is purely coincidental.

His shortest employment lasted only three hours; his personal best record. This was during his first ever job as an apprentice barber in Swiss Cottage, North London. Three hours of sweeping up hair, refilling shampoo bottles and cleaning sinks was all he could take; he left at lunchtime.

Later, he got serious and studied screenwriting in London, where he learned the art and craft of creative writing for film and television. In 2004 he became the founder/editor of a specialist UK-based television/broadcast video production magazine. Although it was hugely successful, he sold the magazine in November 2011 to become a full-time author of fiction.

Nigel has had many years’ experience as a writer of technical articles, tutorials, reviews, news stories and journalism, not only for his own magazine, but also for many other well known publications, magazines and newspapers. It was during these years that he found his voice.

In 2011, Nigel had an overwhelming desire to move into creative fiction writing, so he set about researching his debut novel in the dark romance vampire genre. This desire had been smouldering inside him for a few years. Having seen various classic vampire movies in the past, he decided to write a vampire story that he himself would want to read.

After extensive research and planning Nigel completed his debut novel, Email From A Vampire, which was published in July 2012.

After more research and writing during 2013 he completed his second novel, Sophia; a different genre altogether. Sophia was published in January 2014. See www.nigelcooperauthor.co.uk for more details.

Nigel writes across a diverse range of genres including: psychological thrillers, dark romance, suspense, crime, horror and general fiction.

In his spare time Nigel enjoys playing the piano. He studied classical music at Trinity College Of Music, London, attaining a degree, and is an accomplished classical pianist. He enjoys photography, swimming and badminton, spending time in coffee shops and eating out. He is an animal lover and loves dogs, especially Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and small affectionate toy breeds.

He is currently working on his next two novels: a horror story and a crime thriller.

Nigel lives and writes in Cambridgeshire, UK.

BDSM ROMANCE How One Man Recruited and Trained a sub -
About BDSM ROMANCE How One Man Recruited and Trained a sub:

BDSM Romance, How One Man Recruited and Trained a sub, chronicles the deliberate effort by a man to choose in advance what his next girlfriend will be like. He wants to indulge his desire to have a sexual relationship where he is the dominant partner over a submissive female. He makes a commitment to find an attractive, unattached woman with submissive and masochistic tendencies because he likes to be the boss in a relationship and he likes rough sex. More, he wants her to have those submissive and masochistic tendencies to be the basis of her sexual attraction and sexual expression and practice, such that she will feel safe as the sidekick in a relationship and will enjoy and prefer being the recipient of rough sex. His shorthand phrase for this was the ‘sexual dynamic,’ the way every interaction between a couple can reflect an expression of his or her role in the relationship.

He has no illusions about finding a cute woman with common interests and hoping to describe, suggest and sell her on the idea. No chance. He knew one had to be born that way – and he knew they were out there. The problem was that everyone who co-exists between this underworld and the surface world where they all work and live hides from everyone else. So he wrote a posting for a dating internet site, basically, “Looking for a sub who wants to know if she is one. – reply to The Teacher.” Such a posting would act as both bait and filter. He wanted a natural sub but he didn’t want someone who had learned some other Dom’s style and was probably ruined. She had to be just ready to discover herself. Timing was everything.

His natural sub and he find each other and the book tracks his thoughts as he constantly leads her to do more each time, to break another taboo, and to try new practices. The new practices include the concept of devotion to another person and the formalities, protocols and rituals that provide structure and perspective to this very real underworld that exists today beneath the surface world.

He is careful in “bringing her along” to avoid her ever refusing a suggestion, request or instruction. She wants to please and is receptive to praise, so she can be guided, but he realizes the importance of a perfect record of never saying “no.”

Similarly, when they play with bondage, he gives her a safeword, but he knows that to continue bringing her further along beyond former boundaries or taboos, he must never push her too fast such that she uses her safeword. As time goes on, it becomes harder for her to say “no” or use the safeword.

She explores what was already inside her psyche: certainly submissive to a Dominant male, submissive in sexual bondage, a preference for rough sex, exhibitionism, masochism, voyeurism, lesbian desires and the ultimate realization that all of this is normal for her.

He introduces her to a close circle of friends, later to be known as the Circle of Rope. Three of his friends have D/s relationships with women. She sees that each of his friends has a different set of practices and boundaries with their female partner and becomes aware of the options open to her in the underworld of BDSM Romance.

Author Bio:
J.R. Luxor is the nom de plume of the binary star that is a husband and wife writing team living in the San Francisco Bay Area. She is currently a life coach and he is an author formerly involved in psychology and counseling teenage girls.

They share the character development, choosing what’s in the heads of the male and female characters.They say their technique of using separate male and female voices for the characters, especially in their unspoken thoughts, produces a multi-dimensionality to the interactions and connections of the men and women in their writings.

When advising the partner performing cunnilingus, J.R. Luxor’s advice is addressed to female partners doing it girl-on-girl as well as for males doing the licking, and even waxes philosophical on how the genders approach it differently, and how the receiving partner might communicate differently with a male than a female lover.

As to the question of how much of the actions and depictions of people is from personal experience, J.R. Luxor always declines to answer, fueling speculation and probably purposely cultivating the enigma, but it’s still fun to speculate!

Ill Wind: A Caribbean Pirate Adventure (Valkyrie Series 1) by Karen Perkins -
About Ill Wind: A Caribbean Pirate Adventure (Valkyrie Series 1) by Karen Perkins:

#1 Bestseller – Sea Adventures – UK

Gabriella Berryngton is an unhappy and oppressed fourteen-year-old girl living in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1683. She dreams of escaping her bitter, ambitious stepfather and sailing off into the unknown.

Her dreams come true when her stepfather sells her into marriage.

Aboard the Freyja, she is hopeful that her new life in the Dutch West Indies will be an improvement – a hope that dies when she is given a slave, Klara, and a whip. She discovers that her soon-to-be father-in-law is a ruthless slave trader in league with pirates, and her fiancé is cold, unfriendly and disinterested in Gabriella. She is little more than a vessel to provide the next generation of van Eckens.

Largely ignored and desperately unhappy, she and Klara develop a friendship which makes life bearable – at first. Once married, Gabriella’s life takes a turn for the worse and she descends into a world of horror and abuse until tensions finally explode. Life will never be the same and she has no choice but to take fate into her own hands.

“Wow! This story is even better than the description”

“What a cracking read! I really loved this. Read all the chapters in one sitting. You really know how to spin a tale and grab your reader.”

“I’m a sucker for a seafaring tale! Love the attention to detail with the ship itself and the description of the sea”

The Freedom Star by Jeff Andrews -
About The Freedom Star by Jeff Andrews:

By day, Isaac toils in dusty tobacco fields beneath a scorching Virginia sun, but under cover of darkness, he steals away to shepherd runaways on their journey north along the Underground Railroad. All the while, Isaac yearns for the freedom that Henry, his boyhood friend and owner’s son, takes for granted. He dreams of the day when he too can escape the chains of slavery and escape north to freedom.

When war comes, Henry joins the Confederates. Soon after, his older brother capitalizes on their father’s illness to seize control of the family farm. Suddenly, slaves feel the sting of the whip, families are torn apart, and Isaac’s own father is sold south. Fear grips the slave quarters as Isaac’s mother struggles to protect her children and her invalid master from Henry’s ruthless brother.

Following false promises and failed escapes, Isaac’s only hope of reuniting with the woman he loves lies in joining Henry and the Rebels on their march northward. When Henry is wounded and taken prisoner, Isaac finds himself behind Union lines—free, but facing a hard choice: should he follow his dreams or return to slavery to save his childhood friend?

Author Bio:
Born in England, I started learning karate from a young age. From early on, I came to the realization that I thought beyond my years. At age seventeen, I founded the martial art known as Shoto-Chi (pine-wave energy). While developing Shoto-Chi, I made the decision to get more hands-on regarding learning about human behavior and conflict. I worked as a doorman/bouncer and discovered how, through the understanding of human behavior and effective communication styles, I had the ability to control conflict and bring conflicts to a resolute state without the use of force in most instances. I also trained in close protection. In 1999, I become recognized in England as a founder of a unique martial art. I now reside in Canada with my wife and son. Twenty-four years after founding Shoto-Chi and studying human behavior, I decided to write a book that helps people understand the dynamics of conflict and the power of effective communication through the understanding of perception.

Murder for Glacier Blue -
About Murder for Glacier Blue:

Painted in 1907, “Glacier Blue” is an oil painting recently appraised at 2 million pounds. Reginald C. Pierpont, the artist who created the stunning masterpiece, studied with the Impressionists in Europe and bold visionaries in the Americas. The sole heir to a family fortune, Reggie used his vast holdings and leisure time to experiment with new techniques and daring ideas to create his art. Although the masterpiece failed to turn heads during his own time period, Reggie’s secret method triggers larcenous schemes among modern crooks.

Genuine Fakes, an auction company that sells “authorized copies” of famous paintings, arranges to hold six charity auctions of fakes during a voyage to Alaska. Million-dollar originals will be displayed next to the Genuine Fakes during each auction—six opportunities for international thieves to steal a valuable piece of art. The president of Constellation Cruise Lines, Emily Schultz suddenly needs her new crack security team to guard the paintings.

When one of the fakes gets stolen from the buyer’s cabin, a discrete search for the missing canvas begins. The stakes rise when a body is found next to the missing fake, and the investigation suddenly takes a deadly turn. The investigators learn more about “Glacier Blue” and realize it’s no ordinary work of art. The painting’s special secret already provoked one murder, and it gets easier to kill again.

Emily begs Kayla and Steven to work for a few days before their wedding on Glacier Bay. They expected a stress-free cruise up the Inside Passage of Alaska, filled with glaciers, wildlife, and stunning scenery, but an art heist and murder might interrupt their romantic plans. To ramp up stress levels, Steven’s ex-wife, Cynthia, shows up for the cruise on the arm of Steven’s school chum—and Kayla feels hate-at-first-sight.

The young couple must entertain future in-laws while trying to outsmart murderous outlaws. As the ship navigates through icy waters, truth lies hidden from plain view, like the treacherous underwater portions of dangerous icebergs. Greed, jealousy, and envy generate potent motives for murder.

Stinger Maguire by Mike Bove -
About Stinger Maguire by Mike Bove:

“Stinger Maguire” is the second book in the Bruce DelReno Mystery series. It follows the highly succcessful “Willowtree.” The fictitious small Arizona town of Willowtree is home to Bruce DelReno, retired postman and avid golfer. First it was Bruce’s dog that discovered a dead body, and now Bruce has the misfortune himself. This time the victim is a national celebrity, professional golfer Taryn “Stinger” Maguire.

Maguire had returned to his hometown for a charity exhibition, but met his brutal death at the hands of someone who apparently had golf skills of his own. Bruce’s obsession with the case and his developing relationships with witnesses put him in a special position with the police. Some secrets from Maguire’s past are uncovered, but when his own secret is exposed, it becomes a bigger story than his death.

The story is told by Bruce with a lot of humor, a lot of compassion, and a lot of food. His Apache friend, Ben, is a playful sort, purposely annoying at times, but loyal and insightful. Bruce’s wife, a nurse, is his confidant and helps guide his sleuthing. He bakes bread to take his mind off other things.

This book, though a murder mystery, contains no obscene violence or language. It is suitable for all ages. It is a so-called golf novel. The principals play golf and the victim is a well known golfer. Readers of Bruce DelReno Mysteries say that being a golfer or liking the game is not necessary to enjoying the story.

The town of Willowtree is not a real town, but there is a lot of local color from this part of Arizona. The characters are made-up, but may be much like people the readers may know.

Author Bio:
Mike Bove is a Vermonter, though he has lived in Arizona for the past twenty years, and before that fifteen on Cape Cod. He has changed careers from teacher and coach to working in the retail and nursing home industries, and finally twenty-five years with the US Postal Service.

During his college and teaching years he participated in numerous productions, on and back-stage, in community theater, and was a high school drama director. His first major writing project was adapting a Russian folktale, “The Nosebag,” which he produced and directed.

Though Mike reads many genres, his favorite is mystery. His early favorite authors were Donald Westlake, Ross MacDonald, and George V. Higgins. Perhaps his drama experience is why enjoys and appreciates interesting dialogue.

Retirement gave him more time to read and more than enough to play all the golf he could handle, so he began a story about his fake town, Willowtree, which he had imagined during his daily commute through the Prescott National Forest.

Pulling Home: That Second Chance, Book 1 by Mary Campisi -
About Pulling Home: That Second Chance, Book 1 by Mary Campisi:

It’s all about that second chance…

Sometimes we’re lucky enough to get that second chance-in life and in love. That Second Chance Series are stories of strong women who battle heartache and loss with courage and determination to find new paths and true love. These books are stand-alones and are NOT related. Therefore, the characters from one story will not appear in another. What ties them together? A common theme-belief in the beauty of that second chance.

Pulling Home is Book One of That Second Chance Series.

She’ll risk anything to save her child…even the truth.

It’s taken nine years and a cross-country move, but Audra Valentine Wheyton has kept her secrets safe. She’s created the perfect life-a husband who loves her, a daughter she adores, and a position as head writer for an award-winning daytime soap. When her husband dies suddenly, Audra returns to her hometown for the funeral and faces a community that has not forgotten her meager beginnings and a man who has never forgiven her for marrying his brother.

Jack Wheyton is a successful pediatric neurosurgeon who is about to become engaged when Audra walks back into his life with her daughter. He forgave his brother long ago for taking something that had been his, something he hadn’t even realized he wanted until it was gone. But forgiving Audra is another story…and forgetting her? Near impossible.

When a shattering illness strikes Audra’s daughter, she turns to Jack to save her child and risks exposing a secret that will change their lives forever.

That Second Chance Series

Author Bio:
Mary Campisi writes emotion-packed books about second chances. Whether contemporary romances, women’s fiction, or Regency historicals, her books all center on belief in the beauty of that second chance.

Mary should have known she’d become a writer when at age thirteen she began changing the ending to all the books she read. It took several years and a number of jobs, including registered nurse, receptionist in a swanky hair salon, accounts payable clerk, and practice manager in an OB/GYN office, for her to rediscover writing. Enter a mouse-less computer, a floppy disk, and a dream large enough to fill a zip drive. The rest of the story lives on in every book she writes.

When she’s not working on her craft or following the lives of five adult children, Mary’s digging in the dirt with her flowers and herbs, cooking, reading, walking her rescue lab mix, Cooper, or, on the perfect day, riding off into the sunset with her very own hero/husband on his Ultra Limited aka Harley.

Mary has published with Kensington, Carina Press, and The Wild Rose Press. She is currently working on A Family Affair: Fall, Book Four in the popular Truth in Lies Series, due out Fall 2014.

The GRILL & BBQ HANDBOOK by Peter Dugmore -
About The GRILL & BBQ HANDBOOK by Peter Dugmore:

DESCRIPTION: Love grilling? Attracted to the idea of barbecuing at home? Worried that you don’t have enough space? Bewildered by the array of equipment on offer? Unsure about the methods and techniques you need to master? Looking for some great recipes?

All the answers you need to these and a whole range of other questions are right here! “The GRILL & BBQ HANDBOOK” is for everyone who has an existing interest in cooking over an open fire, or with smoke and salt as a method of preparing food, as well as everyone who is attracted to the idea and would like to learn more about it.

The book is a compendium of four other titles in this same series, covering Smokehouse Basics; Slow-Cooking Outdoors; Woods, Fuels and Fires; and Wilderness and Campfire Cooking – giving generous extracts of the information contained in those titles at the sort of price you could expect to pay for just one of them.

It examines equipment ranging from the simplest of Hibachi braais to the most sophisticated grill/barbecue/smoker combinations currently on the market; It discusses what makes each of them right – or not so right! – for each reader’s particular circumstances, and describes the tips and techniques necessary to get the best out of them in terms of both performance and value for money.

The book seeks to make the choice of equipment easy for you by listing, in detail, a selection of different commercial home food grilling and barbecuing equipment – pits, large vault and cabinet smokers, vertical and water smokers, kettle and other grills – even stove-top smokers suitable for the smallest apartment or loft balcony, or for a quick-smoked, no fuss, convenience meal you can rustle up in minutes. Detailed construction details are given for a range of smoking and grilling equipment you can make at home – easily and economically.

As an added bonus, a whole section of the book is also devoted to that most leisurely means of outdoor cooking – the Dutch Oven, potjie, or 3-legged pot.

For those who’d like to experience wilderness cooking at first hand (or perhaps explore some new facets of it) it gives some useful tips and tricks to get a fire started (and once started maintained!) – and shows how a good number of these techniques are as applicable in our backyards as they are in the backwoods. It considers (some fairly unexpected) pieces of wilderness cooking equipment, and also suggests what to do if you don’t HAVE any equipment! And it includes a number of easy, but delicious, campfire recipes for you to try.

The book suggests which woods you should – and should NOT! – consider using, by discussing the benefits and the unique ‘personalities’ of different woods and fuels – particularly in regard to the characteristics of the smoke, and the differences in heat and coals produced by them – and suggests the right fuel for the right application.

It looks not only at what makes some woods and fuels better for one application, and others for other applications, but also which woods work best in the area in which you live. Detailed construction details and instructions are given for making your own high-quality charcoal at home.

The book also breaks new ground in considering a spread of food types which are not generally associated with grilling, braaiing and barbecuing, and also provides you with a range of stock or “platform” recipes to cover them.

It considers the different cuts of meat which are suitable for grilling, and which are more suitable for barbecuing and slow cooking, and it examines the different methods of preparing and seasoning foods prior to cooking them.

Illustrated charts are provided to help you to identify the major cuts of meat from each of the main animal groups – pork, beef, lamb and venison.

Very few books on the topic provide the breadth of coverage while also providing you with the detail you need to apply that information practically.

Author Bio:
Peter Dugmore is passionate about the outdoors. A lifelong foodie, with a particular love of outdoor cooking (in all its forms), charcuterie,sushi, and cross-cuisine fusion food, he enjoys writing (and researching) books and articles that cover these and a wide spread of other interests.

He has also at various times been an inventor (“generating a modest profit but a really satisfying sense of creative fulfilment”)…

…and at other times a management consultant and businessman. (“Perhaps, everyone has to have a dark side?!!!”)

Peter and his family live in Africa, and share a passion for its wilderness opportunities.

They’ve worked out that at one (very privileged!) stage in their lives, over a period of about ten years, the family spent more than 800 nights camping out on safaris, wilderness holidays, canoe adventures – and “riverside living” on a wild stretch of the Breede River in South Africa. Many times, jackals, lynx, black eagles, honey badgers, a variety of antelope, and otters were their only companions.

Peter’s paternal grandparents were members of the Pioneer column in 1896 to what was then Matabeleland, in Central Africa.

His grandfather was General Manager of a ranching company which owned large tracts of virgin bush in Southern Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe.

Some of his earliest childhood memories are of extended camping trips with his grandparents and his father, sleeping under the stars, shooting and fishing for the pot (in early Pioneer fashion) and generally enjoying the generous bounty of what was then an unspoilt wilderness.

Those early experiences left a taste for backwoods living and sections of a selection of his books on outdoor cooking are given over to “Campfire Grilling and Smoking” – and what can be done to grill, cook, smoke and preserve food in the bush without conventional equipment and accessories.

Later, in Peter’s teens, his father acquired a share in a large tract of virgin bush and riverine forest on the banks of the Dekka River, home to Africa’s “Big Five”, near the Hwange Game Reserve in North Matabeleland …. “where the wilderness got really upfront and personal!”.

“In the most rustic of bush smokehouses we learned to smoke big, green river bream from the Dekka, as well as the odd haunch of warthog or bush pig.”

Now, in their retirement, the “outdoors” for Peter and his family has largely moved to the backyard, and the equipment they use for grilling, barbecuing and smoking is “as commercial as it is rustic”. But the urge to experiment, to learn about and try different grilling, smoking and dry-curing methods and techniques, remains.

“Out of that enduring, lifelong interest my outdoor cooking books were born. I really do hope you’ll enjoy reading them as much as I’ve enjoyed researching and writing them”.

Peter Dugmore, Cape Town, South Africa April 2014

Mind Your Money: How To Buy A Car -
About Mind Your Money: How To Buy A Car:
Buying a car is a complicated process that requires a high degree of financial responsibility. If you are not careful, your new car will cost you thousands more than it should.

Does the car buying process stress you out? Do you even know what you can afford? Do you know the number one secret to negotiating a car’s price?

Classic car buying books focus too little on the financial variables of buying a car. Negotiation methods previously taught take the wrong approach. These books simply overload you with information rather than provide you with a step-by-step framework that will potentially save you thousands of dollars.

The first installment in the Mind Your Money Series titled ‘How to Buy a Car’ has all the answers. It will provide you with a systematic process that you can implement in your own car buying process. You will be the dealer’s worst enemy because you will have all the weapons you need by preparing adequately and knowing your numbers. After reading this book you will know:

If you even need a new car
What price point you can afford
Whether you should buy new or used
What type, make, and model best suits your needs
How to finance your purchase
How to dispose of your old car
How to walk into the dealership with confidence
How to evaluate various insurance options
Common pitfalls to avoid

Cajun Household Wisdom -
About Cajun Household Wisdom:
Laissez les bon temps roulez! Let the good times roll!

Cajun culture is funny and fun-loving. It’s rooted in the earth. It’s rooted in the kitchen. It’s needlessly, hopelessly, complicated, and yet is utterly simple and suspicious of all things modern, especially food and drink.

CAJUN HOUSEHOLD WISDOM takes you back to the days when family gatherings stretched far into summer nights with endless food and fun, when uncles and aunts, sisters and brothers, and countless cousins teased and taunted and chased fireflies, while grandpere spouted yet another story about “that ol’ white mule,” and strains of fiddle music lured lovers off into the dark.

You’ll be reminded that the best therapy for whatever ails you, other than eating and laughing, is dancing. In little towns throughout the state of Louisiana, in lounges like the Rainbeaux in New Ibera, the Green Frog in Lake Charles, and the Purple Peacock in EUnice, you’ll find people of all ages–from three to 103–dancing the two-step or the Cajun waltz at the fais-do-do nearly every night of the week–and they’re still there at 9 a.m. the next morning. Cajun wisdom holds tru for young and old alike:

“If at foist you doan succeed, go an’ dance!”

Sister Moon of the Philippines -
About Sister Moon of the Philippines:

Xulli entered the world in a way no child should ever have to; into a family and culture of poverty, neglect, and terrible abuse. Astonishing and unforgettable, this is a captivating story about the effects of abuse on the mind of a child, the heart wrenching struggles of an impoverished family, and how a young girl strives and dreams for something better.

Born in the Philippines in the 1960s, Xulli is the first child of many. By the time she is four, she is taking care of three other siblings while both her mother and father work. At first things are difficult, but not desperate. Then, life turns ugly when her father begins binging on gin, spending every penny he earns on his addiction and leaving his family on the brink of starvation.

The alcohol makes her father mean. And abusive. At first his anger is mostly directed at her mother, who flees for her life, leaving the children behind… Cruelly, he tries to teach the youngest ones that they don’t need their mother or milk by putting hot peppers on the nipples of their bottles.

With her mother missing, Xulli must find a way to protect her siblings from their father and provide for their needs…

Even though many horrible experiences and extraordinary challenges, her spirit shines, never giving up hope. Demonstrating an extraordinary resiliency to strive against all odds, Xulli inspires us as she finds the courage to succeed in her own life.

About Mental Training: The Art of Life and Death Decision Making!:
In life or death decision-making scenarios, there’s usually only a small list of possible outcomes that are positive. Time is not on your side. Luck doesn’t exist. All you have is your training and experience to guide you. You either have one or the other—Training . . . or Experience. There is no middle ground. If you act, instead of re-acting, you can raise the statistical chances for your survival and the survival of those you intend to help. A slow reaction significantly reduces your chances. Inaction means you or they die. I’m going to teach you how to ACT!

Dynamite Fishermen by Preston Fleming -
About Dynamite Fishermen by Preston Fleming:

An espionage thriller in the classic tradition of Graham Greene, Eric Ambler, and John Le Carré, Dynamite Fishermen follows junior CIA case officer Conrad Prosser through Civil War Beirut in pursuit of an agent recruitment to revive his sagging career, exploiting friends and colleagues heedlessly along the way. At the same time, Prosser directs his Arab agents to discover who is behind a recent eruption of car bombings, setting off a retaliatory outburst that threatens his life and those of others around him.

Beirut, 1982. Conrad Prosser is a skilled Arabist, expert agent handler, prolific intelligence reporter, and a connoisseur of Beirut’s underground nightlife. But, as his two-year tour at the U.S. Embassy nears its end, Prosser’s intelligence career is in jeopardy because he has not recruited an agent while in Lebanon, a sine qua non for promotion.

Surveying his many contacts, Prosser selects an attractive Lebanese doctoral student and her idealistic brother as candidates for development. At the same time, he holds clandestine meetings by day and night with his string of Lebanese and Palestinian agents, pressing them to discover who is behind the latest wave of car bombings that has terrorized Muslim West Beirut. But when one of his agents supplies information used to capture a Syrian-backed bombing team, Prosser sets off a cycle of retaliation that threatens more than his career and cherished way of life.

At first denying, then later concealing, apparent attempts on his life, Prosser sets out to save both his job and his skin, exploiting his agents, his best friend, a former lover, his new girlfriend and her enigmatic brother. In doing so, he puts their lives at risk and discovers too late the effect of his heedless actions.

Dynamite Fishermen offers complex characters, fast-paced action, a vivid portrayal of human intelligence operations and the pungent flavor of Beirut during its dark days of civil upheaval.

Author Bio:
I was born in Colon, Panama. After attending college in the United States, I returned to Panama to teach high school and college art for 15 years. During that time, I began to paint the country and people of Panama. I’m told I was one of the first artists to really define the Panamanian culture through the arts. The works that received the most attention are of the Panamanian native dancing women in the traditional costumes of the pollera and the montuna as well as the fisherman who troll the Pacific for snapper, grouper, and dolphin.

I also painted the Panama Canal and the men who keep it running. A number of my paintings were purchased by the Panama Canal Commission, and presently hang in the current Administration Building of the Canal. Two paintings were made into postage stamps of the now defunct Panama Canal post office, and are collectors’ items. At least four other paintings were made into postage stamps for the Republic of Panama.

I wrote The Clear Blue Line because I wanted to record all of my exciting adventures and diving experiences in a fictitious tale. This was the most exciting period of my life. I hope it will entertain readers and give them a sense of what it was like to be a diver in Panama in the 1970s.

Christmas Parcel: A Sequel to Charles Dickens’ Classic “A Christmas Carol” -
About Christmas Parcel: A Sequel to Charles Dickens’ Classic “A Christmas Carol”:
Ebenezer Scrooge is dead.

And, though he willed his business to Bob Cratchit and his house to his nephew Fred, he gave all his fortune away before he departed. Therefore, according to Scrooge’s nephew, the two families must be “industrious” if they are to keep from falling into poverty.

Tim Cratchit takes this advice to heart. He fears nothing more than the want that plagued his family when he was a child. As he grows to manhood, he pursues financial success with all his might, and by age nineteen he has become the shrewdest clerk at Scrooge and Marley’s. So shrewd, in fact, that this particular Christmas, he has decided to forgo the company of his family to chase a business venture.

But it is seven years since Scrooge died, and when Tim visits his grave, the old man—living or not—is determined to prevent Tim from following in his footsteps…
