Author Bio:
Ben Berwick was born in the 1980s and moulded by the 1990s. A lover of all things Nintendo, Ben has proudly introduced his daughter to the wonders of Pokemon and Super Mario!

Ben grew up in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, surviving school and working in office environments for a number of years, whilst dabbling with fan fiction. Over the years he has moved to Essex, where he lives with his wife and daughter, and ditched the office for retail sales, something he is more naturally suited for. Whilst doing this, Ben’s love of sci-fi has never waned – Star Trek, Star Wars and Doctor Who are big influences, whilst on the literary front, David Weber’s Honorverse and the works of Peter F Hamilton have shaped how he approaches writing.

Alongside sci-fi, Ben has a keen enjoyment of Formula 1 motor racing, and likes to mention he lived in the same town as Lewis Hamilton (though he never met Lewis). Ben is an avid Liverpool FC fan, for his sins.

About A Guy Walks Into My Bar by Lauren Blakely

A sexy, passionate, utterly addictive standalone MM romance from #1 NYT Bestseller Lauren Blakely!
Every bartender should follow one simple rule—don’t go home with the customers.
That’s been easy for me to stick to, until the night a cocky, confident, and sinfully charming hockey star walks into my bar. This sexy athlete is too hard to resist, especially when he makes it clear how much he wants the “sarcastic, witty, hot AF” guy behind the bar—also known as me.
Still, I’m not keen on breaking my own rules since I know where that can lead—no place good. But when that man makes his case with one bone-searing kiss on the streets of London, I throw resistance out the window.
What could go wrong with a hot, no-strings-attached fling before he leaves town in five days? Trouble is, soon our nights together lead to days, to long conversations, to getting to know each other, and to something I never expected—falling ridiculously hard for a man who’s getting on a plane to America when I live a world away.
My life is here. His is there. And no amount of falling or feeling will change that one big problem.
Warning: contains hot hotel nights, loads of dirty talk, PDA all over London, and two sexy, witty, charming heroes…

Bestselling author P.C. Zick describes herself as a storyteller no matter what she writes. And she writes in a variety of genres, including romance, contemporary fiction, and creative nonfiction. She’s won various awards for her essays, columns, editorials, articles, and novels.

The three novels in her Florida Fiction Series contain stories of Florida and its people and environment, which she credits as giving her a rich base for her storytelling. She says, “Florida’s quirky and abundant wildlife–both human and animal–supply my fiction with tales almost too weird to be believable.”

P.C. writes both sweet and steamy romances. The sweet contemporary romances in her Smoky Mountain Romances, are set in southwest North Carolina. Another sweet romance series, Rivals in Love, contains seven stories about finding and keeping love alive. The novels follow the Crandall family of Chicago as the siblings find love despite their focus on successful careers.

Her steamy romances go from Florida to Long Island. The Behind the Love series, set in a small fictional town in Florida, feature a community of people who form bonds as they learn to overcome the challenges of their youth. Her Montauk Romances are set in and around Long Island and feature simple, yet sophisticated beach houses designed with romance in mind. The two books in this set are filled with steamy scenes as love grows and thrives.

Zick offers a variety of nonfiction books, which include a book on vegetable gardening, a compilation of her essays and short stories from her decades-long career as a writer, and a primer for writers on taking an idea and turning it into a published book. She has also published and annotated the journal of her great-grandfather based on his experiences as a Union soldier during the Civil War.

Her novels contain elements of romance with strong female characters, handsome heroes, and descriptive settings. And all of her works express her philosophy of living lightly upon this earth with love, laughter, and passion.

She and her husband split their time between Tallahassee, Florida, and the Smoky Mountains where they enjoy gardening, kayaking, and hiking.

Some would call me a little naughty but I see myself as a writer of spicy thoughts. Being an erotic romance writer is something that I never imagined I would be doing. There is nothing more rewarding than to put your thoughts down and share them. I began writing three years ago and have enjoyed every minute of it. When I first began writing, I really wasn’t sure what I was going to write. It didn’t take me long to realize that romance would be my niche. I believe that every life deserves a little bit of romance, a little spice doesn’t hurt either. When I am not writing, I enjoy the company of good friends and relaxing with a delicious glass of red wine.

Hello! I’m Louise Lennox and I’m glad to be here!

I am a writer, true rabble rouser, hopeful romantic, wife, and mother of the cutest two dragons ever to walk the earth. I write to provide Black women with a diverse presence on romance novel pages. I am a voracious reader of contemporary romance. Often, I bemoan the lack of opportunities to see women like myself, friends, Spelman sisters, aunties and cousins on the page. I’m here to fix that!

I write what I like to call #happyblackromance. I highlight joys of our relationships. We should admire them for their strength and downright sexiness. It’s time to share some of our magic! My female characters are highly educated influencers, always seeking to change the world around them. My male characters are alphas committed to the responsibility of leading their homes and communities.

In my novels sparks will fly; the sex will amaze; and the characters will always leave the world better than they found it through their love.

About Her Alien Rebel

He’s Deadly. He’s Ambitious. He’s the Enemy.
And he’s made conquering me his goal.

A man is the last thing I need in my life, even an intense alien cyborg who sweeps in to help me in a fight. Blue skin, muscles to die for, steely gaze — it doesn’t matter. I don’t want the complications.

As the security officer on the Ladies’ Choice, I fight my own battles. I shouldn’t be inviting more trouble in, even if Trouble is a badass with a rock-hard six pack, sexy scars, and a tail that does amazing things to me.

Okay, Mykor is tempting. Enough that I consider making an exception for him. Everything about him fits me perfectly… until I discover his implants are forcing him into a mission and will kill him if he fails. A mission to kill a member of my crew.

I won’t let him succeed. I can’t let him fail. And Mykor cannot step aside. Somehow, we have to find another option. The only thing we can think of is stupid, risky, and our best hope is that it’s so crazy no one will see it coming.

But if it works, we’ll be together. Forever.

**Her Alien Rebel is book two of the Salvaged Hearts Series. Each book is a complete science fiction romance story with no cheating, no cliffhangers, and a happy ending guaranteed.**

Overcome adversity by uncovering the societal myths around us. Reach for hidden and lost opportunities along brighter horizons as fields of vision and hearing decrease for April D Brown. Follow her journeys through the forgotten myths to uncover hope and peace in forgotten places.

Writing isn’t as easy now. Words sometimes disappear in the midsts of the mind and time as sounds change meaning, and sights decrease to a blur. Mind pictures bring myths to life. Many fracture along the spines of forgotten hopes and dreams. New myths may emerge.

Whether looking for self-help, or fiction to forget your troubles for a time, there is a book among her collection to enjoy. A small library to help you see the myths, access them, and go beyond them to find what works for you.

Her novels and novellas, while adventures, are written in a more classical style, without extreme action, romance, or violence. Characters think before they act. They bring the past, present, and future, alive in the minds of the reader through the eyes of characters who would rather not face the challenges in front, or behind them.

Sometimes, this leads to trouble.

With the support of cats, dogs, and art, she reaches out to assist others on the path to a better future for all. Drawing, painting, sewing, knitting, crocheting, and mixing the mediums when needed, add color to the words as they find their places in the stories. Gardening, cooking, and organizing build a structure to each project.

About DEMOCRACY: A User’s Guide

THEY SAY WE LIVE IN A DEMOCRACY. WE ARE FREE AND WE SHOULD BE GRATEFUL.
But just how “Free” are we? How democratic are our so-called “Democracies”?

Is it enough to simply elect our leaders and sit back, helpless, as they rule over us like dictators? What good is selecting our politicians, if we cannot control our media, police or soldiers? If we must blindly follow our teachers’ and bosses’ commands, whilst at school and in the workplace, is it not a little naïve to believe that we are the masters of our own destinies? And if our resources are controlled by a tiny cabal of plutocrats, bankers and corporations; can we honestly say that our economies are being run for us?

Could things not be a little bit more, well, democratic?

Indeed they can! “Democracy: A User’s Guide” shows us how…

Within the pages of this story-filled book, we shall visit Summerhill, a democratic school in the east of England, before stopping off in Brazil to check out Semco, where workplace democracy is the name of the game. We will travel to Rojava, to explore life in a democratic army, and head to Spain, to see why Podemos is giving liquid democracy a go. We shall travel back in time, to see democracy at work in hunter-gatherer societies, tribal confederacies, the guilds and on the commons. We will consider the case for participatory budgeting, deliberative democracy, collaborative hiring, community currencies, peer-to-peer lending, and much much more.

The message is clear and concise: Democracy does not have to be a pipe dream. We have all the tools we need to rule ourselves.

Author Bio:
Joss Sheldon is a scruffy nomad, unchained free-thinker, and post-modernist radical. Born in 1982, he was brought up in one of the anonymous suburbs which wrap themselves around London’s beating heart. Then he escaped!

With a degree from the London School of Economics to his name, Sheldon had spells selling falafel at music festivals, being a ski-bum, and failing to turn the English Midlands into a haven of rugby league.

Then, in 2013, he stumbled upon McLeod Ganj; an Indian village which plays home to thousands of angry monkeys, hundreds of Tibetan refugees, and the Dalai Lama himself. It was there that Sheldon wrote his debut novel, ‘Involution & Evolution’.

With several positive reviews to his name, Sheldon had caught the writing bug. He visited Palestine and Kurdistan, to research his second novel, ‘Occupied’; a masterpiece unlike anything you’ve ever read.

But it was with his third novel, ‘The Little Voice’, that Sheldon really hit the big time; topping the charts on both sides of the Atlantic, and gaining widespread critical acclaim.

In 2017, he wrote ‘Money Power Love’; a love story that charts the rise of the British Empire, and the way in which bankers, with the power to create money out of nothing, were able to shape the world we live in today.

A year later, he released what is arguably his greatest story to date, ‘INDIVIDUTOPIA: A novel set in a neoliberal dystopia’. Fans of 1984 will love this fast-paced classic, set in a world in which corporations rule supreme.

Now Sheldon has returned with his first work of non-fiction. ‘DEMOCRACY: A User’s Guide’, combines his conversational tone with a series of entertaining anecdotes and thought-provoking ideas; asking what can be done to make our political systems, economies, schools, media, police forces and armies that bit more democratic.

About Quicksilver & Brimstone (The Crucible of the Crimson Lion Book 1)

he Great Pantomeus has spent five hundred years brewing up the perfect revenge. What Matthew Nightingale doesn’t know, is that he’s part of the plan…
A crazed, near-immortal alchemist locked away in an underground chamber is the last thing Matthew expects to find on a school trip to the British Museum. But the hasty pact he makes with the terrifying stranger completely backfires when Pantomeus breaks free and Matthew is plunged headlong into a mind-boggling world of secret societies, alchemy, and revenge.

Caught in the middle of a centuries-old feud between ageless Masters, Matthew now has only one way to escape Pantomeus’ murderous plans – join the secret Order of the Crucible of the Crimson Lion and become an alchemist himself. Only, it isn’t gold that Matthew makes in the Order, but friends, and soon he is whizzing through portals, discovering incredible inventions and powerful arcana while the Science of the Impossible plunges him into a mesmerizing world.

But the ancient Order has secrets of its own, and once Matthew comes across a dark legend and a mysterious girl in a dusty old mansion, he realises no one is safe. Something terrible is going on in the Order and it’s up to him to find the truth. But can he save his new friends and stop Pantomeus in time before he loses all that he holds dear?

About The Man Who Married Death By Amy Langevin

Zylen LaRocque, a twenty-eight-year-old depressive, arranges to be taken by Death, but his suicide fails, and he ends up proposing to the supernatural entity instead. Death accepts Zylen’s heart and takes up partial residence in his being, which allows Death to affect the tangible realm at whim. Manipulated like a puppet, Zylen becomes entangled in Death’s countless affairs and finds himself continuously washing blood off his hands as his life, and everyone in it, descends into a whirlwind of mania and slaughter.

Dripping blades, psychological experiments, bone homes, human bombs, sanguinary sonatas, hungry straightjackets, supernatural lovers, fleshy snacks—and so much more. Amy Langevin loves peering into chaotic
psyches, trying on their masks, seeing through their eyes, and writing their stories. To her, there is so much more to every ‘evil’ character. Habitually closing books with the gnawing desire to experience the story from the ‘bad guy’s’ view, she began writing such stories herself. In so doing, she discovered reflections of their darkness in herself. It felt as if her soul was calling out to be seen—for her to shatter her shiny façade and explore herself in her full spectrum.

Amy’s first horror poetry collection is The Man Who Married Death (2017), and her first novel is Spineless (2017). Her short story “Tied in Love” was published in Thirteen Vol. 3 (Easkey Castle Books), and “The Required Bits” was published in 100 Doors to Madness (Forgotten Tomb Press).

Currently she lives in Los Angeles, in a strange man’s basement, knowing one day she’ll escape.
