About Strung Tight (The Road To Rocktoberfest Book 1)
– Bisexual Discovery
– First Love
– Rockstar / Roadie
– Stage fright / Anxiety
– Low Angst / HEA
Strung Tight is the 1st book in the multi-author Road To Rocktoberfest series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but why not stay and enjoy the whole show? If you like scorching tales of hot rock stars and the men who love them, then you’ll adore the untamed musicians of Rocktoberfest!
What’s better than having your rock idol, Dagger Drummond be the mentor for your band? Having your band selected as one of the performing acts at the iconic music festival, Rocktoberfest.
My band was about to step onto our first professional stage. We’d more than earned our spot in the lineup. We had the talent and Dagger groomed our stage swagger. All that was left was to wow the socks off of the audience.
It should be easy, except I had major anxiety issues and it’s frowned upon when lead singers collapse on stage from panic attacks. Another detail adding to my anxiety level, I recently fell in love with a man. Imagine that, a straight guy falling for a dude. It’s the stuff stories are made of – and yet it’s my life.
Rocktoberfest was supposed to be fun but our trip turned sour when my guy went AWOL. Now my concentration is shot and my is heart heavy thinking his absence might have more to do with him not wanting to be with me than missing the bus. One way or another, I had to give the performance of my career – regardless of what was going on inside my head or my heart.

Tentoria
Halfway through the 22nd century, mankind enters into a new world war to produce the first generation of Tentorians: an army of bionic humans made up as a last ditch solution to establish peace. With functioning bodies and human intelligence, they are the first genuine success in the artificial improvement. In time, the Tentorians come officially to be a nation, showing more and more their true nature: blood and power-thirsty, human-bodied machines. Thus, in the 25th century, the great powers made up their minds to hunt them down all over the world and have them isolated inside a region called TENTORIA.
Will the springing of this nation bear consequences on the past?
The action moves back in time 500 years, to the year 2024. Cole is a 27 year old young man leading a happy life in a peculiar world: a planet Earth consisting but of a piece of land surrounded by one single large ocean, and a population of 12 million people ruled by a secret organization. As the story unfolds, he realizes the reality of his existence at break-neck speed on the edge of survival.
“TENTORIA” raises questions on human values, the conflict between virtual and reality, between present and future; on mankind’s hope of living into a concrete, non-virtual world away from the technological drug we grow increasingly addicted to while seeping deeper and deeper inside our body.

About Summer Lovers – A Transgender Romance Novel
Have you ever been stuck in the friendship zone for just a little too long? How do you move to be more than just friends?
Sam Dean is a gifted musician who has just finished the third year of his engineering degree. Unlike his rich kid friends, Sam works several jobs to afford his college education, let alone save for a holiday. This allows little time for romance, and leaves him lacking confidence, although he has no shortage of suitors.
With his best friends, the recently engaged Carl and Winnie, and trust fund girl Jessica, Sam plans for a Summer in Greece. Trouble is Jessica sees it as a romantic couples’ trip, while Sam has no romantic interest in Jessica, whatsoever. He wants a ‘Summer Lovers’ Fling with a gorgeous European girl.
Landing in Athens, Sam spots Swedish songbird, Hannah, and becomes more than a little smitten. Sam goes out of his way to attend Hannah’s shows almost nightly, impressing Hannah while annoying Jessica no end. He even joins her show, singing love song duets with her. But Sam lacks the confidence to take the big next step and ask Hannah out.
If you like transgender romance stories in the mold of ‘Music and Lyrics’, stories that make your heart go ‘Pop’, then you’ll love ‘Summer Lovers’. The latest novel from indie author Yumi Cox.
Will Sam be able to deflect Jessica’s advances and work up the courage to ask Hannah out, or will his ‘Summer Lovers’ Fling become yet another unfulfilled dream?

This Sagittarius has always been the explorer, not only in world travel pursuits but also alternative fringe subjects.
Having climbed the Great Pyramid of Cheops (and getting arrested doing so), some of his other world experiences included riding camels in the Sahara Desert, white-water rafting at the top of the Ganges river, fire walking on a weekend retreat, hot air ballooning in the Cappadocia Region in Turkey and visiting ashrams in Northern India. Much of David’s overseas travel has been fueled by his kee -n interest in metaphysical subjects. In his earlier years he witnessed, along with three other people, a sighting of a UFO mother ship and four smaller craft, and that was the catalyst for him to research that subject, also in connection with established world viewpoints and how ancient prophecies might hold the clue to our past and future.

In this case, they claim their job is to protect Lucy’s line. But as she gets to know them and her family’s history better, she has to wonder if their ultimate goal is to keep her safe, or to stop the man who’s after her?

Fine, Thanks: Stories from the Cancerland Jungle
About Fine, Thanks: Stories from the Cancerland Jungle
Mary Dunnewold was a yoga-practicing, organic-food-eating health geek. But six months after a clear mammogram, she was diagnosed with stage-three breast cancer. She had six tumors. The largest was the size of a summer plum. In the next two years, Dunnewold endured a bilateral mastectomy, chemotherapy, radiation, and multiple reconstruction procedures. But she soon learned that navigating cancer involves more than suffering through the treatment gauntlet.
In the book, Dunnewold considers questions like, how do you walk the aisles of a small-town Target, guilty of having cancer in public, wondering who knows and who doesn’t? Where do you look when the handsome plastic surgeon kneels in front of you to measure your body fat? What etiquette applies when, during a dinner party, your chest splits open like an overripe watermelon? While answers don’t come easily, Dunnewold moves from needing answers to finding meaning despite the randomness that afflicts us all.
In May, Fine, Thanks won the 2020 IndieReader Discovery Award for best memoir. On Amazon.com, the book has been a #1 best seller in the cancer category and a #2 best seller in the women’s health category.
Kirkus Reviews calls the book “[a]n appealing, sharply self-inquisitive remembrance,” and says “[Dunnewold’s] writing also sparkles with clarity and wisdom throughout . . . Overall, this book may provide a valuable lifeline to those facing similar challenges.”
Indie Reader says “[d]espite its dark subject matter, Mary Dunnewold’s Fine Thanks: Stories from the Cancerland Jungle is an eloquent, poignant, life-affirming and surprisingly witty memoir well worth reader’s time.” The book received five stars and an “Indie Reader Approved” rating.
Amazon reviewers say the book is “realistic and heart wrenching,” “a riveting true story,” and “a valuable book for men.”

My Inflatable Friend (Rollo Hemphill #1)
About My Inflatable Friend (Rollo Hemphill #1)
Trying to make your girlfriend jealous with a rubber doll might not be a good idea. A reformed hacker-turned-slacker, twentysomething Rollo Hemphill fantasizes about becoming a top-forty deejay but has more talent than ambition. He’s settled for a menial job as a car jockey at The Wuthering Palms, a luxury hotel in Beverly Hills. Proximity to all that glitter and glamour soon stirs his longings for Felicia Ferrulo, the Sicilian hottie who slavers the stars with mudpacks in the hotel beauty shop. When Felicia won’t give him a nod, much less a tumble, Rollo devises a desperate plan. It involves dressing up a life-sized sex doll to look like one of the hotel’s reclusive megastar residents and conspicuously driving the pseudo-babe around town in borrowed vehicles. Inspiring jealousy is his simple-minded goal, but it quickly gets waaaaaaay out of hand. Rollo’s clever scheme backfires with stunning success, causing him to fall upward with dizzying speed – as he rockets toward the stars but away from the girl of his dreams. Rollo’s fumbling attempts to undo this tangled web is, by turns, pathetic and hysterically funny – to everyone but him. My Inflatable Friend is a witty, cautionary tale about the perils of pretending to be someone you’re not – and the hazards of stroking every male’s most private and vulnerable part – his swelling ego!

“When I was in high school, my chemistry teacher approached me and asked with a sly grin, ‘You interested in mining?’
I told him absolutely not. I was going to be a writer.
Little did I suspect that he wanted to send me to a student conference on metallurgy where I could seek the fellowship of like-minded teens on a minimally supervised road-trip to the Big City.
Undeterred by my abrupt negative response, he grumbled, “Well, you’re interested in mining your own business, aren’t you?”
And he sent me anyway.
Now I realize I should’ve listened more carefully to everything he said.”
Slab Steele and the Venusian Exchange
About Slab Steele and the Venusian Exchange
*Free September 10 through September 14*
Two Flytrap fans had a plan. But unfortunately for them, they kidnapped the wrong guy. Or did they?
In the near future, the invention of the Io Mega-Zip Drive has allowed humanity to spread throughout the Solar System. This new age of discovery brought with it a bold new sport: craterball. Played in low gravity on massive domed craters, craterball has taken the System by storm and made all other Terran sports all but obsolete.
Slab Steele was once the hottest craterback prospect coming out of Texas Space University, but a series of self-engineered screw ups have left him without the hope of joining the greatest craterback to ever play the game, Mirt “The Whip” Ballfeather, in the Craterball Hall of Fame.
Once reduced to playing backup for the worst team in the league, the Venus Flytrap, Slab has finally got his life back on track. Slab Steele—through no significant achievement of his own—is on the verge of winning the Crater Bowl. On the eve of the biggest match of his life, the deciding Match Seven of the Solar Craterball Finals, Slab Steele is knocked out and taken captive by two die-hard fans of the rival team. There’s only one problem: Slab isn’t even the starter.
Suddenly, Slab Steele is thrust into an adventure that forces him to confront a ghost from his past, meet a hero from his present, and ultimately come to terms with a future unlike any he has ever known, all while trying to make it to Venus in time for the Crater Bowl.
Featuring copious amounts of dad jokes, shameless puns, a sentient slice of cheese, and a bipedal urinal, Slab Steele and the Venusian Exchange is a perfect read for fans of Guardians of the Galaxy, the Galactic Football League, Space Team and the greatest sports films of the 80s and 90s.

MANUS DEI: Harbinger
2nd Edition. September 2020.
The former Light-Bringer’s time to rule is coming. And there’s nothing humanity can do about it. Yet the Devil is prophesied to lose everything in the end. Destiny or not, the fallen Archangel has other plans.
Thus the tumultuous last stages of a conflict as old as time. Fought in this world. With the weapons and science of humanity.
But though the time of the Apocalypse is nearing, Heaven waits. In preparation for the final conflict, the minions of Hell have started infesting the world. Corrupting humanity and stealing the heavenly spark that connects mortals to God. Unless stopped, when the end comes, most of the divine power that exists in every person will belong to the Adversary. The Serpent has no plans of losing again. With enough heavenly power, he believes that even a divine prophecy can be broken.
Against the forces of Hell, it falls to the shoulders of a few good men and women at the side of diminished angels to delay Armageddon. A retrograde action against the forces of darkness.
One of them is Keith A. North, SEAL E-6, left for dead in the sandbox. Recruited by the secretive Khamsa, an organization almost as old as recorded history, he learns how to fight against nightmares made real. Limited by rules as ancient as the struggle against Hell.
(A novel of around 40,000 words).

The Opium Wars: A Captivating Guide to the First and Second Opium War and Their Impact on the History of the United Kingdom and China by Captivating History
About The Opium Wars: A Captivating Guide to the First and Second Opium War and Their Impact on the History of the United Kingdom and China by Captivating History
Victorian Great Britain was the most technologically and economically developed country in the world at the time. As such, it had the power to protect its interests. With the discovery of new trade routes in the East, and with the foundation of the East India Company, Britain became addicted to the luxurious and exotic items from China. Silk, porcelain, and tea were in high demand among the rich. Britain was so economically strong at the time that even the middle and lower classes could afford to enjoy high-quality items imported from China, especially tea.
Britain imported everything its society desired, but it was costly. The main problem was that China only accepted payments in silver, creating a huge imbalance in trade. To avoid losing money on imported goods, Britain had to sell something back to China. However, this Eastern empire liked to boast that it was self-sufficient. The Chinese didn’t need to import anything, as their industry was developed enough to supply the whole country with what it needed. Britain had to come up with something the Chinese needed, and in desperation, the decision was made for Britain to sell opium.
When diplomatic efforts to introduce opium to the Chinese market failed, the British Parliament approved an alternative: war. There were two wars, one from 1839 to 1842 and another from 1856 to 1860. They are collectively known as the Opium Wars. The British, who were joined by French and supported by the Americans and Russians, clashed with Imperial China, which was ruled by the Qing dynasty. These conflicts are largely forgotten in the Western world, perhaps out of a sense of collective shame. But in China, the Opium Wars are still symbols of national humiliation at the hands of the Western powers.

My life is a simple one. I live with my two dogs, Ace and Rielly, in Canada and I got to say that it's pretty awesome. Those two buggers make it difficult to stay down for too long and I love them for that. When I'm not writing I'm usually watching hockey (Go Leafs!), spending time behind my camera, enjoying a good video game or just relaxing with my good pal called Netflix.
I'm a huge fan of Lord of the Rings; I even own a foam version of Andruil, Aragorn's sword. The book series and the films both drew me into fantasy and led me to wishing to create my own worlds. Authors that inspired me are Jonathan Stroud, Tom Lloyd, Christopher Paolini, Mark Lawrence, George RR Martin, and of course good old JRR Tolkein.
These brilliant fantasy writers each displayed styles that I would slowly come to try to reflect in my own writing and world building, with ideas leading to short stories, which eventually led to my very first novel. However, I should say that I wouldn't be where I am today without my best friend, Mackenzie, and my therapist, Natasha. Those two wonderful women helped give me the confidence to go for this career path and I will forever be thankful for their support.
I write my books in the hopes that they provide the solace and escape for someone that fantasy novels give me. The idea that someone could possibly read my books and be inspired to write their own is exhilarating too. Most of all, I write because I know what a good story can do. It can make people feel not so alone, it can inspire and encourage creativity. It can give that tiny bit of peace that's needed to get through the day. If I can provide that for even just one person during my career, then I know this will all be worth it.
Here's hoping you enjoy my books! Happy reading!
Thanks for being awesome and supporting the authors.
