Seventy years later, Steve Woodward, an NSA agent, and his former boss Brenda Madison, a strong willed woman with a mind of her own, team up with Craig Davis and Vincent Foster, two rogue agents who have discovered the location of the plane and the secret it carried.

The team struggles with the interference of a conspirator at home as they race to prevent the cargo from falling into the hands of a ruthless band of terrorists. After days of running across the unforgiving desert, the team reaches the Anti-Lebanon Mountains where Brenda makes a dramatic choiceâ?? a decision that affects the lives of all around her and brings “The Palmyra Effect” to a striking conclusion.

Caribbean Bones
by Richard Corwin
The British and US Virgin Islands in the Caribbean was the frontier paradise of the 60’s and early 70’s where adventurers used the islands as a base of operations for nefarious activities in the Caribbean and South America. There were treasure hunters, counterfeiters, assassins, Black Panthers, rock stars, movie stars, wealthy industrialists, and lots of other folks looking for an escape from their boring ordinary mainland living. Others brought their yachts to join the large charter fleet in St. Thomas, stop to visit or continue on to other ports.
The islands would enter into a frenzy of development in the early 70’s that would change forever their free, frontier paradise character. Native fishing schooners would disappear; high speed ferries replaced colorful native transportation, a mega yacht marina would be built on the bones of Yacht Haven Marina where most stories in this book had their beginning; where the people who made adventure their way of life inspired the short stories of Caribbean Bones.
The ghosts of Yacht Haven, and its Marina, still haunt Dick but in a good way.
Not a day passes that he doesn’t remember sharing a drink and laugh with Mama Cass; playing darts with “Mad Dog,” Fairchild on Virgin Gorda; liars’ poker with actor Bill Davis at Trader Dan’s on the waterfront or the “The Lovin’ Spoonful,” a
stoned rock band neighbor at the marina. He went to the islands to find adventure and explore the wonders of freedom and found more than he had ever hoped for.

Lay Me Down To Sleep (Hannah and Pastor Jayne)
by Lucinda Lane
Eighteen year old Hannah believes in abstinence and that sex before marriage is a sin. But Hannah is also being driven crazy by sexual desire to the point where she has trouble sleeping. To make things worse, the sleeping pills she has been prescribed make her even hornier!
Pastor Brad Jayne has admired Hannah’s transformation into a beautiful woman from afar, but when she comes to him and confesses how great her need is, when she asks if it would be a sin if she didn’t have a choice in the matter… the temptation is too much for him to resist.
Please note: This 6000 word erotic short features a full figured eighteen year old virgin deflowered as she sleeps by her older Pastor…. who doesn’t believe in birth control! It includes scenes of sleep sex, oral sex, virginal sex, defloration and culminates in a big messy internal creampie.
Excerpt:
At that moment he truly ached for her. She no longer represented a test. Instead she was a prize. Why he deserved such a wonderful gift he did not know, but here she was.
She stirred at his touch and he pulled his hand back as if burned. But it wasn’t a waking sound, instead a gentle purr of satisfaction as she exhaled.
He tried again, this time caressing the side of her face with his hand, following the curve of her cheek to her soft golden hair. He knelt and stroked her again, growing a little more bold as he followed through, his hand mapping the curves of her neck and shoulder. When she exhaled he could smell faint mintiness of her toothpaste on her breath.
Brad kept stroking her sleeping form, growing bolder by the minute. With each touch came a repeat of that little purring sigh. As he ran his hand over her side, over her flared hips and along the length of her slender exposed legs, her body began to move in time to meet his hand. Her sighs became a more urgent.
Hannah drifted in and out of awareness. The sleeping pills always did a number on her. She felt hot and horny and her dreams became so vivid that she struggled to tell whether she was awake or not. It was in this state she entertained fantasies of being taken. Always against her will. Her faith was strong, she would not stray, but if she had no choice? What then? Something had awoken inside her body.
Tonight the dreams seemed particularly vivid. She could feel the heat of another body in her room and without warning a touch. First her cheek and then straying further. A hand leaving a trail of warmth along her side. Goosebumps formed on her exposed flesh as the same hand travelled the length of her long smooth legs.
Part of her wanted to protest but she could not. Her body started to move in time with the gentle caress. With each stroke she thrust her chest outwards. Her full breasts so hot and aching to be touched. Hannah couldn’t help but be proud of her breasts. She knew it was sinful and she felt she should be ashamed of that pride, but she could not.

Pirate Dave and his Randy Adventures (Career Ending Romance Spoof)
by Robyn Peterman
After all was said and done, the disgusting novella meant to destroy a story stealing New York Time’s best-selling author’s career was successful. Rena, an accountant with no discernible literary talent, and her band of adorable porno writing grannies came up with the worst piece of literature, (and I use that word loosely), that was ever written. Amazingly enough, it became a cult classic. Who in the hell knew there was an underground need to know and love a Time-Traveling Vampire Warlock with erectile dysfunction and his conjoined lady loves, Laverne and Shirley?
Apparently the need is there and now so is the full version of their story . . .
** Special Note from Author Robyn Peterman **
This is a spoof. A profane romance spoof not meant for anyone under 18. I was threatened lovingly and repeatedly by my readers to write the full version of Pirate Dave. He was born of the need to create a horrific career ending romance novel to destroy a really bad, nasty villainess . . . and Thank you Buddha in a tube top, it worked! I laughed my way through writing this and I hope you will enjoy this small slice of my warped brain. NO, this is not what I normally write, but I certainly had a good time penning it! If you want to read the real romance story, you’ll have to peruse HOW HARD CAN IT BE? You’ll find the first three chapters at the end of the hot mess you’re about to read . . . And now, I give you the career ending novella, (hopefully not mine) otherwise known as PIRATE DAVE AND HIS RANDY ADVENTURES.
**************************
“How Hard Can it Be? is outrageous, profane, hilarious, sexy, and all kinds of wacky.For a good time, read Robyn Peterman!” – MICHELLE ROWEN, national bestselling author
“A zany over-the-top rompfest.” – LEXI GEORGE, author of Demon Hunting in a Dive Bar
“If you’re looking for a brilliantly written, hot mess of hilarious shenanigans that will make you laugh until you pee, root for the underdogs and swoon like a Southern Belle then you’re going to love How Hard Can It Be. Go read it!!”– Wicked Little Pixie Reviews
Peterman’s debut is laugh-out-loud, rolling-on-the-floor, snort-Pepsi-through-your-nose funny. A very quick pace with hilarious characters and nonsensical scenarios will keep readers on their toes. Rena is a walking disaster, and it’s hysterical that her dream guy is a straitlaced cop. Fate definitely has a wicked sense of humor, and this tale will show you just how fun falling in love can be.– 4 STARS RT Book Reviews

The Love Market
by Carol Mason
When a marriage ends and a first love reappears, Celine Lewis is about to find out that moving on is as complicated as going back.
Three years after seeing her first love, Patrick, quite by chance in London, Celine’s ten-year marriage to Mike is over. She is running her own business, a professional matchmaking service called The Love Market, in Northern England, and coping with the unanticipated heartbreak of a marriage ending – not to mention her quirky twelve-year-old daughter who blames her for the split.
Then, out of the blue, Patrick emails. Celine is tempted to find out if all the old feelings can still possibly be there, but then Mike has an unusual proposition for her. One that forces her to question whether a divorce really means it’s over.
See the author’s website for information about her other novels, The Secrets of Married Women and Send Me A Lover. www.carolmasonbooks.com
Reviews for Carol Mason’s novels:
‘A writer of compelling insight with a gritty yet humorous edge.’ Daily Mirror
‘A sweet, sad tale about love, loss and the crazy way the world works to reclaim love again.’ Cosmo Australia
‘A beautiful story about coming to terms with loss.’ Yorkshire Evening Post
‘This cross between Mamma Mia! and PS I Love You is fast and furious chicklit. (Send Me A Lover.) Red Magazine, Top 3 Must Reads
‘Full of realistic emotional twists… There is a refreshing honesty about the numbness that comes from discovering an infidelity and the shame that comes from perpetrating one.’ The Telegraph.
The Secrets of Married Women. ‘There is a fresh and vital edge to this superior debut novel. Mason has much to say about relationships. Her women have resonant characters and recognisable jobs, which give depth to their messy lives.’ Financial Times
If only there were some way for me to give this book more than 5 stars. I can honestly say without a doubt that The Love Market is by far my favorite chick lit novel I’ve ever read. Ever. Danielle, Chick Lit Reviews, January, 2011
I picked up this book to read just a few pages before bed; by midnight I was a hundred pages in, wide awake and anxiously reading to see what happened next.’ Cheryl Wartman, The Edwards Magazine Bookclub
‘A satisfying read with compelling characters and a concept that had me hooked from the first few pages. It’s really easy to get caught up in the story and realize it’s already 2 a.m. and you haven’t put the book down.” Ali deBold, Chick Advisor
‘A thoughtful, insightful book on marriage and the path not taken. The Love Market was a great read.’ NovelEscapes.com 4.5 stars.
‘An absorbing read about ending a relationship and starting a new one.’ 8/10. Chicklitclub.com
As I was reading this book a strange feeling overwhelmed me. I couldn’t wait to review it. I couldn’t wait to share it with others. This is the same feeling I had when I first read Emily Giffin and made the startling discovery that chicklit didn’t have to be vapid – that it could be intelligent, engaging and introspective. Mason’s writing flows beautifully. This is simultaneously a comedy that knows when to be serious and a drama that knows when to be funny. 5/5 stars. Meredithdias.com
I have not been able to stop thinking about this book since I finished it several days ago. This novel does a beautiful job of depicting the complexity of life in terms of dealing with what could have been. I highly recommend it.’ Mavis Davis, Dewey Decimal System Rules
‘Mason is as great with character development as she is with prose. Her lyrical writing and true sense of her characters sets her apart from other writers of the genre.’ Alison Scott, The Allure of Books.

The Autobiography of Billy the Kid
by Ralph Estes
Everyone knows the saga of Billy the Kid. That story’s been told, in an avalanche of books, songs, movies, TV programs. And yet – no one has given Billy’s side. Until The Autobiography of Billy the Kid. Oh, there have been many claims that it wasn’t Billy whom Pat Garrett shot in Pete Maxwell’s darkened bedroom on July 14, 1881. But in fact it was. Billy just didn’t die then. With the help of loyal friends he played dead, was “buried” long enough for Garrett to leave, nursed back to health, made his way to Wichita, and under the name of Henry Carter became a leading rancher until cancer laid him low. And now: Billy tells his own story. What were his feelings and fears, his pleasures and regrets? What really happened, not the media and the movies’ and Garrett’s exaggerations. Just as Billy, as he lay dying in a care center, told it to a young Ralph Estes in 1951.

Prickly Scots Pt I
by S P Mount
Shattered by constant mental abuse, an ugly duckling with an eidetic memory accidentally murdered her parents on her sixteenth birthday – a bittersweet tragedy that plunges the course of her life into a never-ending spiral of loneliness, alcoholism and bitterness while presiding over the residents of the orphanage her family estate has become.
But Sadie Wallace unwittingly receives the ultimate opportunity to change everything when an inexplicable celestial occurrence happens over Scotland, bringing with it a charismatic young couple that never seem to age.
Secretly residing in a fantastical castle on Mouse Island from where it disappeared in the 16th century, now fully-loaded with alien technology and occupied by an outrageous flower species, the MacGregor’s are back to mastermind the latest incarnate of their son – Archie’s destiny to complete a series of bewildering tasks that’ll free them all from an ancient family curse – not easy when dealing with a sarcastic, iniquitous being that even their know-it-all companions, a species known as ‘The Unpronounceables’, have no knowledge of. With absolutely no idea of how to time-travel, the secrets of which are closely guarded by the law of a galactic community that detest an unsuspecting humanity, no one said it would be easy.
But it’s not only Sadie who changes beyond recognition as the past becomes irrevocably altered; caught up, in search of acceptance, family and even love, so too, as parallels intermingle in the chaos of ‘the butterfly effect’, does a motley crew of irascible but delightfully droll characters.

Sully Street
by D. P. Lyons
The year is 1973. The place is a town in Central Maine. The town, Fairfield, is a quaint, bustling little town which has a history that is strong and true. With a school rich in academic and sporting achievements, its residents follow along the footsteps of those who walked down a long line of heritage, packed with dignity and honor.
Majestic, old houses and manors dot the countryside, adding their beautiful tales and antiquated stories within the town’s bound chapters that have formed over the years. One manor in particular, the Merriman Manor, has a unique story of its own. Its aged timbers and warped floors cling tightly to a hidden story that has remained a secret for over a hundred years. One manor’s story that holds dignity, pride, and a slice of faith, topped off with a spoonful of freedom. A surviving story that no one remembers, or knows. A story that needs to be made known and real.
It’s the late days of summer, 1973, and Fairfield is a town with a bustling, steady heartbeat. It is a town that supplies a constant adolescent building block, chock full of vim and vigor. It is a town that holds the imaginations and curiosities of five adventurous teenage boys. Five boys who, in the course of three hot, summer days, unknowingly stumble their way into a twisted, forgotten truth about the human spirit, all but lost in time. It is about the innocence of five friends, who, as comrades, see this bond grow stronger with every beat of their youthful hearts. It’s about the unmatched bond of youth, and its ability to withstand the elements of their times, shining through brighter and stronger than ever.
Journey back into those golden olden days of 1973, and ride along with Dustin, Kevin, Wally, Teddy and Frankie as they ride their bikes and take you along, back through the years to rediscover the simple joys and pure adolescent passions that are such a big part of this moment in time. Pull up your kickstands, check your tire pressure and come ride along with them as their innocence is tested, and the will of pure teenage comrades proves to be the glue that binds their friendship and holds tight to the true meaning of the everlasting spirit of youth.

Her First Vacation
by Jennie Leigh
Colin Montgomery has been living a life of lies for so long that he isn’t sure he recognizes who he really is any more. All he knows for certain is that pretending to be someone with an utter lack of even the smallest shred of moral fiber has become much too easy. He’s losing himself, and he knows it. He needs some time off, maybe even a complete change of vocation. Then his mentor is murdered on the job, and Colin knows that he has no choice but to bring the killer down. So he goes under one more time, playing a role that is far too easy to slip into. Garret Palmer is a sadistic narcissist with a talent for making loads of money while facilitating the running of drugs and guns between the US and Mexico. He’s also a cold-blooded murderer. To get close to him, Colin will have to convince Garret that he’s a kindred spirit. Easy enough if he doesn’t mind giving up the last shreds of his humanity.
Claire Abernathy has been living in the shadow of her mother and sister for so long that she’s long forgotten what it feels like to stand in the sun. She knows that she doesn’t have their beauty or sparkle, and she’s well aware of the fact that she never will. At thirty, the chances of her suddenly outgrowing her physical and social awkwardness are practically nonexistent. She has buried herself in her work as an elementary teacher, resigned to spending the rest of her life being the responsible one in her family while her mother and sister bask in the adoration of every man who crosses their paths. Desperate to escape from the sad reality of her life, she takes a wild risk and books passage on a cruise. Her sister and mother immediately laugh at the absurdity of her on a cruise, but she refuses to give in to their cutting barbs or her own self-doubts. For the first time in her life, she’s going to do something strictly for herself.
Colin has a very specific role to play if he hopes to get close enough to Garret to be there to nail him for the crimes he’s committed. A woman like Claire is the direct antithesis of the sort of female his working persona would be interested in. She could be a poster child for frumpy introverts everywhere. Yet, he finds that the more he gets to know her, the more he’s drawn to the woman hidden beneath the shapeless dresses and absurdly long hair. Claire has never had a man like Colin show any interest in her. She knows it’s too good to be true, but finds that she can’t bring herself to walk away from him. Not even when he makes it abundantly clear that he isn’t a man who wants anything more than fast, hard sex. She isn’t the kind of woman who has affairs, but then she hasn’t ever been the kind of woman who goes on a cruise, either. Maybe it was time for some changes in her life, starting with her views on casual sex between consenting adults.
Colin is walking a deadly line between burnout, rage, a desperate need to bring Garret Palmer to justice, and an inexplicable attraction for a woman that he knows is far too innocent for the likes of him. She deserves a man who hasn’t been permanently tainted by decades of living with the scum of the earth. Even if he could somehow convince himself that taking her to bed wouldn’t make him even more of a bastard than he already was, there was no way he could pretend that openly pursuing her wouldn’t torpedo his chances of bringing Garret Palmer down. Will he be willing to let Garret slip through his fingers if it means he can have Claire, or will he sacrifice her to put an end to one of the largest drug and weapon pipelines between Mexico and the US?

“â?¦Demanding and insistent, the voices came back into my head and evaporated this temporary bliss right out of me. “He’s not the same species! You want childrenâ??not guppies!” the voices screamed. “He’s married, maybe a widower, but still, you can’t even take him home to meet your parents!” another voice insisted. “Even if he is a widower, how will you get him to a wedding ceremony?” another one questioned. “How will you explain his tail?” How indeed, I thought. He is so insistent that I keep him a secret. “How could we ever have a life together?” I asked myself. Then the real issue: you don’t even know if he would want to marry you if the circumstances allowed for it. Aren’t you getting way ahead of yourself?”
Love can happen in the most improbable place at the most improbable time under the most improbable circumstances.

Colton’s Dilemma (Shadow Breeds)
by Dara Nelson
They live among the shadows, these ancient breeds. Older by far than most vampires, werewolves, witches and other creatures in existence, they choose to stay in the shadows, to live among their own ancient kind, to not socialize with the younger, undisciplined generations of their own kind who would seek them out for power, for control, for their own agendas. So, these ancients live in the shadows. And for Colton Renner, those shadows were just fine, until Tess Hamilton came along. Captured and savagely attacked, but not bitten, by werewolves, somehow she escapes during the night and stumbles through the woods, ending up on Colton’s doorstep, bringing us to Colton’s first dilemma: should he let them finish her off or bring her in and help her. Once he makes the decision to help, he invites the wrath of the werewolves into his quiet vampiric life. But is she more than just a damsel in distress? As he quickly develops feelings for Tess from a heart that he thought had been irreparably broken, he learns that she is also a witch. Things begin to unravel making him question her true feelings. Does she love him? Does he truly love her or is this a spell she has cast on him? Who will survive the outcome of Colton’s Dilemma?

The Delivery Cut
by Joseph Rakowski
“I am not an unreliable pimp or cracked out drug dealer. I am not a billionaire from some foreign country, or from wherever, who does not care where his product ends up. I am not a smuggler, pusher, indirect seller, buyer, middler, lookout, or anything in between. I don’t cross borders. I am a new addition to the drug world hierarchy. I am simply and responsibly the man who brings you your needs in a suit, with a smile, and a touch of customer service.”
The Delivery Cut is a literary-contemporary fiction that follows the protagonist, James Young, through a twisted and turned path at self-realization.
James Young is under pressure to be just like any other ordinary young adult who is seeking higher education to achieve a postmodern American, accomplished and prideful, nine to five. Despite his set path as an incoming law student, James accompanied by a slew of alcohol and chain-smoked cigarettes awaits a future meltdown. Surrounded by a fog of commonplace people who strive for unoriginal lives and others who have found them, James searches for a flash of inspiration to discover life as more than a mere existence.
Within the first 24-hours of his law school orientation, he finds himself under the watchful eye of an egotistical law professor and face to face with a mysterious Frenchman’s beguiling proposition for a story. The anarchical Frenchman joined by a misanthropic brute, leads James through a revolution of the South Florida drug market, positioning him as a new addition to the drug world hierarchy. As he struggles to mentally shed from his old life, James takes refuge in a local Cuban Coffee shop where he befriends its regretful owner for advice.
Leaving his prior self behind, James is soon engulfed by the “who’s who” of upper class clients wanting their drugs brought to their downtown night scenes, high-rise luxury condominiums, local offices, and island mansions. Armed with reliable transportation, three dress suits, a tight schedule, and pushed by the fear of never having lived, James becomes the man who brings them their needs with a smile and a touch of customer service.
When violent competition for the market heats up around him, James in a final climax must choose between death and what is giving him a newfound sensation of being alive.

Review on “Summer of Hope”
“This is one of those books that “haunt” you. The kind of book that leaves you feeling like you lived it, and you still feel it for days to come…It is so beautifully written, and affected me deeply. I would find myself smiling, worrying, laughing, and crying. I will look forward to more from this author, and one could only hope-soon!”

Wicked King Dick
by Malachi Stone
Here’s a nostalgia piece, my personal foray into Jean
Shepherd Americana.WICKED KING DICK refers to Richard
Milhous Nixon, the principal bogeyman of my college years, who you may recall
served as POTUS until he resigned in ignominy on August 9, 1974–coincidentally
enough, on my birthday. During the George W. era from time to time I found myself
wishing we had Tricky Dick
back again–he was the political comeback kid in the sixties–but Mister Death
was determined to keep his blueeyed boy.
I admit I was thinking of Thomas Wolfe’s YOU CAN’T GO HOME AGAIN when I named
the main character Johnny Wolfe. Since I was a boy I have always been
fascinated with the carny life. At the ages of fifteen and sixteen I was
privileged to have been selected to work twelve hours at a stretch to set up
carnival rides for the princely sum of five dollars cash money. Since then I
had always wanted to write a novel about a boy who runs away with the carnival.
WICKED KING DICK is the story of Johnny
Wolfe, a kid from a small town in the American Midwest who goes away to college
and falls hopelessly in love with Beth Trajan, a goddess from the Olympus known
as the Northern Suburbs of Chicago. Beth cannot be won without a full-fledged
commitment to her student radical activities, so Johnny–more Dobie Gillis than
Che Guevara–joins the Movement on campus. His devotion to Beth gets him
expelled and into full-time bomb-making. He masquerades as a graduate student
in the chemistry department and piddles around pretending to make bombs, trying
to delay the inevitable.
The bombing of the ROTC building is supposed to cause mere property damage.
When a man dies in the explosion, Johnny goes on the run for thirty-three
years. (Johnny is a Christ figure, get it?) Johnny becomes an itinerant
evangelist and hooks up with a carnival, which brings him back to his old home
town and to Maggie, the girl he left behind. But will his past allow him to
truly go home again?

Killer Whale: A Coming of Age Novel of Love, Family & Finding Your Way Home
by Eoin Dempsey
The New Young Adult Fiction Novel from the author of Finding Rebecca: A Novel of Love and the Holocaust
Killer Whale: A Coming of Age Novel of Love, Family & Finding Your Way Home
“The truth doesn’t come easily after all this time. There’s a story I want to tell. The story of the night I killed my father. The story of the night Kathy died.”
It’s Monday night in New York City, and Rob is drunk, fired again from the latest in a long line of menial jobs. Rob is far from Ireland, his home, and far from the murder that drove him to run away. Rob is young, smart, funny and a complete mess, edging closer to Irish alcoholic cliché. All Rob has are his friends, Fitz, the big fat loudmouth, and Tim, the former college football star.
Despite her best efforts, Rob meets Rachel, a beautiful college student with a savage charm and a bruised past life of her own, who will change everything for him.
A forced meeting with his brother reveals a reason to go back to a home and a life Rob has been trying to erase. Faced with the prospect of missing his best childhood friend’s wedding, Rob decides to return to Ireland and to face up to the demons that drove him away.
Set between New York and Dublin over a week in 1998, Killer Whale is a story of redemption and romance, friendship and family. Fast paced and funny, tender and exciting, Killer Whale is young adult drama, which asks if we can ever truly know another person, and if so, how do we remember them? As the person they always were or the terrible act that they perpetrated?

Everything You Need to Know About the Count of Monte Cristo
by Charles River Editors
*Explains the major themes, characters, and plot.
*Includes an introductory note on Alexandre Dumas and his book.
*Includes a summary and analysis of all 117 chapters.
“I have once again found a man ready to hack at another’s self-respect with a hatchet, but who cries out when his own is pricked with a pin.” – Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo
Playwright, novelist, travel writer, journalist, entrepreneur – it is hard to place Alexandre Dumas in one category alone, as his genres almost always influence one another. But most scholars and critics agree that he is clearly one of the greatest adventure novelists of all time. Responsible for such well-known titles The Count of Monte Cristo, The Corsican Brothers, The Man in the Iron Mask, and perhaps one of the most iconic and recognizable novels ever written, The Three Musketeers, the name Dumas has become synonymous with stories of drama, adventure, travel and intrigue featuring exceptional characters, exotic locales and fascinating journeys, both literal and figurative. His works have engaged readers all over the world, and been printed in over 100 languages.
The Count of Monte Cristo is now a staple of Western classrooms and has been made into many movies. The epic tale takes place in France, Italy, the Mediterranean Islands and the Levant from 1815-1838, spanning a generation of characters and growth. The book’s protagonist, Edmund Dantès, is one of the most famous characters in literature, and the story follows him as he runs the gamut of emotions. Even today, the story’s themes of hope, justice, vengeance and mercy fascinate readers of all ages.
The Count of Monte Cristo is entertaining for adults but also accessible for children, which is why so many schools assign it as reading. Of course, the novel is as lengthy as it is great, so it’s hard to remember all the important stuff. Everything You Need to Know About the Count of Monte Cristo is a comprehensive guide that provides a synopsis, a description of the characters, and a summary and analysis of every chapter. You can use this as a guide while you read or as a way to brush up on everything you once knew and since forgot.

Thank Sophia for Sam
by R.D. Power
The concept of heroism has long since become debased, but there are still true heroes in the world who exhibit remarkable bravery and strength of character, who regularly put their lives on the line to save another human life, and who do so without recognition or exceptional reward. Medevac crews in Afghanistan are occasionally featured on a TV news report or in a newspaper article, but by and large are ignored by the mainstream media and by the public. But pay attention to those occasional reports and it becomes clear how special these people are. They fly through bullets and missiles, fog and dust, mountains and deserts to get to a casualty and then run through bullets and step across IEDs to get to the patient, and toil in 130 degree heat or a 10 below deep freeze to stabilize the patient and transport him back to the field hospital alive, which they do 95% of the time on average. It is an extraordinary group of men and women who have heretofore gone all but overlooked in fiction.
A modern-day MASH, “Thank Sophia for Sam” is the story of a medevac crew based in Jalalabad, Afghanistan. They are responsible for medical evacuation support for the most dangerous areas of the country, including the dreaded Korengal Valley. The mountainous terrain is perilous, the weather often making it more treacherous, and the likelihood that their red crosses will attract bullets and missiles is high. Yet, none of that stops them in their zeal to save lives, not only of soldiers, but of civilians and even enemy fighters. The story is fictional, but includes many rescues based on actual missions as reported by various media outlets.
Flight crew antics – some also based on true accounts of medevac units – and a love story serve to develop the characters and story between missions. The four-person crews work in close quarters with a great deal at stake and become very close. The two central characters are Samantha Hawkins, the co-pilot, and Daniel Beaton, the flight medic. He aggressively pursues her throughout his posting in country. The heartache that flight medics have to endure in this war is almost beyond belief; for Daniel, Samantha represents a crucial escape, counterbalancing the pervasive pain, death and horror with love, life and hope for the future. She, however, is forbidden to have a relationship with him because he is an enlisted man, and she falls in love with a flight surgeon. Daniel fights for her heart, mostly with a searing wit, but it is a losing battle.
To compound his problems, he develops diabetes during his second summer in Jalalabad, which, if the army finds out about it, will ruin his plans for the future. Added to Samantha’s consistent rejections and the enormous stress of the job, this overwhelms the young man. He suffers a breakdown and is sent home.
Once home with the war and the army behind them, they both have trouble adjusting to normal life, which is dull and frivolous by comparison. There the tables are turned, with Samantha pursuing Daniel, but Daniel wary of her. She needs him to help her settle back into normal life; he too needs her, but is afraid to trust her after a year and a half of rejection in Afghanistan.
Is there any hope they will end up together?
(Please note that because the story is largely set in the army during war, it has substantial violence, vulgar language and sexual innuendo.)

Baseball Ethan and His Little League Dreams
by KP Baker
Baseball season is an exciting time for boys involved in Little League. If you are looking for a way to excite your baseball fanatic about reading as much as he loves baseball, introduce him to the main character, Ethan, in this encouraging book for kids. Your child will love to read and follow along with Ethan and his baseball adventures as the Little League season starts.
Ethan loves to play baseball and does so every chance he gets. This year was a big year for him because he was moving up in the organization. He was now in the league that allowed the kids to pitch and bases to be stolen. Ethan was nervous, but his parent’s faith in him and his endless hours of practice made him believe that he would be able to succeed and possibly even become the pitcher that he has always dreamed of becoming.
In this book, Ethan shows kids of all ages that when they set their mind to something and stay dedicated to it, they can succeed at their dreams. Ethan joins his two best friends Jason and Joey in this book, both of which also have their own dreams to succeed at baseball, and together they set off to be picked by one of the best coaches in the organization. The sheer thought of being coached by the man that coached the championship team last year was enough to make Ethan and his friends believe that this would be a great year of baseball for them.
“Baseball Ethan and His Little League Dreams,” is a great book to help your child want to read. Even if you have a child that is only into sports and refuses to pick up a book, he will want to see just what happens to Ethan in this book about summertime fun. Offering your child the best of both worlds, this eBook is the perfect way to encourage summertime reading.

The Malthus Conspiracy
by Danielle Uidam
In 2011 the world population hit seven billion. Fourteen thousand babies are born every hour. By 2045 the population is predicted to hit nine billion. Can our planet cope?
In 1798 Economist Reverend Thomas Malthus thought not. His work ‘An Essay on the Principal of Population’ predicted that population growth would outpace our ability to obtain resources, resulting in a global epidemic of famine that would destroy society unless curbed.
Fast forward to 2012. College students Dean Adams and his best friend Felix Pye, unwittingly stumble across the greatest conspiracy in history, and by doing so sign a death warrant. They are forced to run as powerful, high society members of a 200 year old secret Malthusian League attempt to silence them.
The league will stop at nothing to continue its Malthusian cause. Their purpose? To curb population growth and ensure Malthus’ predictions for economic ruin do not come true.
With the aide of detective Isabella Mercena, Dean and Felix go head to head against the evil forces as they attempt to expose the league’s sinister plans to control population. Will they survive to tell the tale and tell it before the next wave of disaster is unleashed on mankind?

The Pequod’s Coffin
by Joshua Flenniken
The Pequod’s Coffin is a comedic indictment of greed and the baser elements of American culture. Ishmael Stockton, named by his father after the narrator of Moby Dick (though he has never read it), finds himself swept by circumstance into working for a vast, faceless hospital patient financing corporation. Idiotic bureaucracy, outsourcing to India, and mindless regulations conspire to turn what should be a dream life into a nightmare. A ridiculously incompetent boss, an understanding wife, and a lifelong friend who is the Queequeg to Ishmael’s well… Ishmael, are just a few of the hilarious cast of characters who drive the mayhem onward. When a cult leader steals one of Ishmael’s business cards from his briefcase on a flight from Portland to Denver, all hell breaks loose. His life spirals out of control and just as Ishmael contemplates going on a cross-country crime spree, redemption is delivered from a surprising source. Anyone who has ever encountered the wrong kind of job challenges, had conflict with their boss, or felt crushed by the machine will relate to this story – full of crazy characters, bizarre circumstances, and hilarious situations.

Under The Shade of The Walnut Tree
by Ivan Radev
This is a romantic short story about two people who fall deeply for each other, without ever seeing one another. Separated by a lonely tree on the road, the two of them talk about the simple things in life without bothering with the limitations imposed by the time we live in. They debate about the important stuff – the stars, the flowers, each other – all the things that make life beautiful. There is nothing complicated – just one constant niceness. With just a speck of unbothered philosophy, heartwarming and filled with naive positivism, this dialogue-based tale is a nice little escape from reality for those wishing to get their daily dose of smiling.

O Human Child
by Walter Donway
“Come away! O human child…” â??William Butler Yeats.
***
When Jan and Victoria DeVries begin their summer on a rented farm in the wild Catskill Mountains with their daughter, Betsy, and Freddy, the toddler with the “elfin” look of Williams Syndrome, they fall in love with the sunny meadows and the wild horses… but they are unprepared for their new neighbors.
***
Ashlyn Tate seems a woman of more than human beautyâ??almost enchanted. Stranger still, her daughter, Alena, is only 12â??or is supposed to beâ??but is already arresting in her sensual allure. When Alena gets a look at Freddy, and murmurs, “He is the most beautiful child I have ever seen,” the first slight shadow passes across the sun. From then on, the shadows of the beautiful, dark Catskill Mountains become deeper, more mysterious, and more frightening.
But enchantment is as irresistible as it is dangerous. When Janâ??the artist who looks like the lanky, handsome cowboy he once wasâ??meets Ashlyn, Victoria is unsettled by the attraction between them.
But her jealousy is forgotten when Freddy goes missing. And the terror lurking in the majestic gorges, hidden lakes, and ancient trails that begin almost in their backyard has only begun reach out for them.

Down This Road
by Kelli Dawn
They say you can never go home, and for high-powered Chicago attorney Charlie McIntire, that is perfectly fine. She left home the day she turned 18 and never planned to returnâ?¦but at 29, she finds herself running back to the ranch, the only place she can think of that will help her face an unexpected turn of events. Charlie tries to settle back into the quiet pace of country living, unsure of everything except the fact that she still hates shoveling manure. Life on the ranch is uneventful, and without the distractions of the city, Charlie is forced to deal with things she’d rather avoid: what she’s going to do with the rest of her life; the unfinished business between her and an ex-boyfriend; and most of all, the event that will change her life forever.
Down This Road chronicles Charlie’s journey of self-discovery. It explores how the past shapes the present; how difficult it can be to change patterns of behavior; and how sometimes, learning your lesson might come just a little too late.

Be My Yoko Ono (an OddRocket title)
by Phoebe Kitanidis
Meet Will and Tiger. They’re smart, geeky, unconventional, and in an open relationship that’s on the verge of breaking down… and breaking up.
Once upon a time, their love was epic. But the more Will escaped into comics and games, the more Tiger turned outward to social, sexual pursuits. Not that she had to turn all that far: Will and Tiger’s lovers Siouxie and Stephen share the House of Cats, the suburban commune the four polyamorous folks call home. And it’s all been leading up to Tiger’s shattering announcement in the middle of a road trip: “I just don’t see you as a primary partner anymore.”
Luckily for Will, this trip is leading them to the rural township of Butterly, Oregon, to visit Tiger’s father and new stepmother. From the moment the geezer newlyweds fling open the door to welcome them, it’s impossible not to see the glow of their love. Impossible not to feel jealousâ?¦and inspired. Could it be that, between games of D&D, Buffy theme nights, and hot tub parties, Tiger and Will are missing out on the joys of a traditional lifestyle? What are those joys, exactly? A comic consideration of love, lust, and geekdom in an era of expanding lifestyle possibilities.

THE CUCKOOS OF BATCH MAGNA
When Sir Humphrey Miles Pinkerton Strange, 8th baronet and huntin’ shooting’ and fishin’ squire of the village of Batch Magna in the Welsh Marches, departs this world for the Upper House (as he had long vaguely thought of it, where God no doubt presides in ermine over a Heaven as reassuringly familiar as White’s or Boodle’s), what’s left of his decaying estate passes, through the ancient law of entailment, to distant relative Humph, an amiable, overweight short-order cook from the Bronx.
Sir Humphrey Franklin T Strange, 9th baronet and squire of Batch Magna, as Humph now most remarkably finds himself to be, is persuaded by his Uncle Frank, a small time Wall Street broker with an eye on the big time, to make a killing by turning the sleepy backwater into a theme-park image of rural England – a vacation paradise for free-spending US millionaires.
But while the village pub and shop, with the lure of the dollar in their eyes, put out the Stars and Stripes in welcome, the tenants of the estate’s dilapidated houseboats are above any consideration of filthy lucre and stand their ground for tradition’s sake â?¦ and because they consider eviction notices not to be cricket.
Each disgruntled faction sees the other as the unwelcome cuckoo in the family nest.
So, led by randy pulp-crime writer Phineas Cook, and Lt-Commander James Cunningham DSO, DSC and Bar, RN (ret) – a man with a glass eye for each day of the week, painted with scenes from famous British naval victories and landscapes that speak of England – the motley crew run up the Union Jack and battle ensign and prepare to engage.

Voyage of the Last Crusader
by Barry G. White
Voyage of the Last Crusader is a gripping story of crusader battles and seafaring adventure to the unknown corners of the medieval world.
Set with geographic and historic accuracy in England, Arabia and tropical oceans along the sea route of the ancient Spice Trade, this is a fictional but feasible story of young Lord William, just fifteen, who fought alongside Prince Edward in the Last Crusade of 1271. We are with him on his long sea voyage to the Holy Land and with him in his Crusader battles, his life as a privileged slave in a royal household in Arabia, his sea-faring adventures in search of the fabled Spice Islands, his shipwreck on the shores of the Great South Land, and his return from the other side of the world.
Actual characters with key roles to play are Crusade leader Prince Edward of England, Muslim leader Sultan Baybars of Egypt, and Admiral Zheng He, commander of China’s Dragon Fleet. These major figures of history are described accurately, along with their deeds.
This story for ten to sixteen-year-old boys of imagination was written by a grandfather who once was such a boy himself.

Once And Then Again
by T. Scott McLeod
HOW MANY LIVES HAVE YOU LIVED?
A child, an adolescent, a man. A student, a cadet, a beat cop. A homicide detective, a husband, a father. And now a widower, and a father who had lost his child.
So many different lives.
The pain of it, the images, I don’t want to see them again, but there they are: how I imagine it happened. What I imagine it was like. Putting them together, because this is what I do. I’ve seen it before, I know, and you always think it’s going to be someone else, you never think it’s going to be someone you know. You think the odds are too far against it. You tell yourself, things like demographics. Areas. But anything, can happen, anywhere. And odds are odds because things do happen to people.
Isabelle is on the swing. I am pushing her. â??Isabelle’ because she is, is a beautiful. It’s an idyllic moment: the sun shining, her golden hair streaming back. How old would she be, in that memory? How many times had that moment occurred: me, pushing her on a swing? In my mind she is five years old, six years old. Somewhere between four and eight, maybe even ten. I can’t choose an age. Her age changes, shifts in my mind, when I try to see her. How old are you? Where did you go? It’s like a pain in my heart which I shut my eyes to feel more deeply. This loss, my daughter, gone.
Once, and then again: to love again. How could you want something and not want it at the same time? Why was it my fate to lose everyone I love?
“I lost my daughter,” he says to himself, “to a homicide.”
Could he bring himself to love again? Would he find his daughter’s killer? What new life would he create for himself? Life did go on. Once, and then again. It just kept going on and on, and he felt like he’d lived so many different lives now.
Riding this mysterious journey which is fate, in his search for redemption, justice, and forgiveness Thomas McAllister finds himself being dragged into the darkness which resides in his own soul.

Katie McCullough doesn’t know it, but Max Sawyer, the over confident, insufferable thief who outbid her for the lighthouse property, is none other than her mystery lighthouse sailor. The one man who captured her heart five years earlier, the one man who has since been the plumb line for every other unsuspecting male who has crossed her path. Unfortunately for Max, he doesn’t measure up either.
Still reeling from losing the property she’d planned to call home, sparks fly when Katie assumes Max is turning her beloved lighthouse compound into one of his “Serenity Spa Resorts.” Outraged, Katie sets out on a mission to dismantle the propertyâ?¦and his plans.
Except Max’s plans have absolutely nothing to do with hotels and everything to do with winning Katie’s heart.

Strangers
by David K. Hulegaard
“Loved it, loved it, loved it! Read a bit like Alfred Hitchcock Presents, which was both surprising and delightful.” – Tony Healey, author of Burial and Dark Orb
Humanity can be ugly.
In California, Boyd returns to the site of an old covered bridge to claim a promised message from his deceased lover. In Oregon, Matt sets out on a cross-country business trip that takes an unexpected turn upon his arrival in Illinois. In Washington, an older, wiser Lucca looks back and recounts the trip to New Orleans in which he temporarily became a father.
Strangers is a collection of eight sublimely twisted short stories from the mind of Sci-Fi/Paranormal author David K. Hulegaard. Each story explores the encounter of strangers forced into interaction by the confined space of train travel. Some will find commonality and friendship. Some will find compassion and understanding. But one thing is for certain: They will all find something unexpected.
All aboard.

Gone to Mums
by Barry Simiana
“What can you say about a twenty five year old girl who died?” With those words, Erich Segal opened his tear-jerker novella Love Story, and a film (and cultural) phenomenon was born. “Gone to Mums” doesn’t allow a dry eye in the room. Told from Ray’s perspective, it is a most improbable love story, set among the orchards and migrant farmers of rural Australia. He meets Kelly when she beats the crap out of him for trying to steal fruit from her roadside farm stand. Ray and Kelly do fall in love, but their romance is anything but conventional. If Love Story taught us that love was never having to say sorry, “Mums” reminds us that time doesn’t heal wounds, it just covers them over with scar tissue.
Steve Cohen, Next Stop Hollywood: Short Stories Bound for the Screen
Praise for Gone to Mums
The stories are so “cinematic” you will find yourself choosing a cast within the opening paragraphs.
There’s the unlikely, heart tuggy love story Gone to Mum’s which could star the next Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe.
Off the Shelf with David J Foster 23/05/2007
“Gone to Mum’s” by Barry Simiana is a richly detailed and poignant story of missed chances, stolen moments, heartbreak and redemption. Simiana’s narrator takes readers along on his journey of self-discovery amid the rugged backdrop of Australia. The author paints emotion on his canvas, stunning the reader with the simplicity and honesty of his prose.

CEREAL (Short Story)
by Steve Jova
A wren flew on my kitchen window one day while I was having my cereal. It chirped and fluttered its wings about, showing off and making a whole lot of noise. I shooed it away, I had my bank teller job to attend to. My life was boring, I know, but I had my routine. That wren came back the next morning and interrupted again. I gave it some seeds, I don’t know why, and it started chirping a melody! A mangled smile formed on my face and a strange feeling rose in my chestâ?¦

Daughter of the Bering Sea (Bering Sea Trilogy)
by O. L. Gregory
Jessie Taylor has her life all planned out. She’s going to be a cook on her family’s fishing vessel out on the Alaskan waters. Everything she’s ever done, from the time she was twelve, has led up to her claiming her own spot in the Taylor fishing chronicles upon The Sea Hag.
Her father, however, has other plans for his little girl. First off, he isn’t going to just hand over a spot on the boat to her. She’s going to have to prove herself first.
When Jessie finally turns eighteen, she begins trying to balance her own ambitions with her father’s ambitions for her. She is put through her paces as she begins working for any crew that will hire her to cook for them. She takes wheel watches, works on deck, and ends up getting stitched back together after suffering the backlash of the Bering Sea.
Even though she accidentally begins a war between two captains and ends up getting kicked off one of the boats, her attitude and antics help her to garner a reputation for spoiling captains and keeping the crewmen on their toes.
After two years of watching his daughter bounce from ship to ship, he lets her come aboard as the cook. The future Jessie has been working for is suddenly hers.
But then one night, while on board The Sea Hag, the Bering Sea delivers a blow that leaves half the crew injured. With both her father and uncle out of commission, it’s up to Jessie to captain the ship into safety and deliver the crew back to shore alive. She’s already buried one parent, and now she may lose another. Can she keep it together? Or will facing her worst fear send her into a mental tailspin, and shut down her ability to reason?

THE COOL JOURNEY, The younger years (THE COOL BROTHERS ADVENTURES)
by G.W ELKINGTON
“There are ’71’ A5 pages (Including photos) to this book, not the estimated ’27’ that is stated.”
(THESE SHORT STORIES â??THE COOL BROTHERS ADVENTURES’ HAVE DERIVED FROM AN ORIGINAL SCREEN PLAY WRITTEN INTENTIONALLY FOR TV/FILM PRODUCTIONS AND AMENDED FOR PUBLICATION TO BOOK FORM)
THE COOL JOURNEY, The younger years; Number 1 – 10 of the continuing short stories.
This book is a part of the Cool Brothers Adventures, which consists of ten continuing short stories that are based on and around a collection of gritty characters in a comedy caper that will bring these unethical band of brothers and their everyday issues to life, and as we follow their ventures throughout until their final testing showdown which will declare if they will become the men they always dreamt they would be?. A boy’s to men adventure. This all begins and is initially set in a hard-working, mining village in the West Country during the mid-80s known as â??Redruth’
From the mid-80s, due to the trading empires that were being built globally, it was actually becoming cheaper to import the minerals than to mine it locally, resulting in Redruth taking the hit and rapidly losing so much of its wealth. Unfortunately, the majority of the miners and their families had no other choice but to immigrate abroad to such places as America, Australia and South Africa where their mining skills were highly desirable and respected.
Now with the closure of many of the British mines during this period, the country went through many significant changes as well as a financial decline, moreover, facing the beginning of the Falklands conflict.
With Margaret Thatcher currently in power at number 10 Downing Street, the country had not faced any form of conflict since World War II and this â??Iron Lady’ knew it was paramount that this once strong, self-sufficient nation stood its ground again ensuring that they took on this new and potentially overwhelming challenge alone, furthermore, without any outside help this time.
This first short story invites you to join the journey from the start of these three notorious young boys who commit to an unbreakable pact, an oath to become â??somebody’ in life and break free from their town’s hardship; with their way of life about to alter and change right in front of their very eyes. These paths they choose to lead will change them forever, hopefully for the better, or they risk becoming nobodies! Which is just not on the cards! But I guess in this world, they’re not the only ones dealing from the bottom of the pack!
POINT OF INTEREST
Even though all of these characters in my stories are created by me, their characteristics are all genuine and are of actual people that I have worked with and still know now.

Lancashire Hotpot Loves Welsh Rarebit
by Ryan Thomas
This is an ADULT story and is NOT for children.
Jake Tempest, an unknown and slightly unhinged indie author with an unhealthy passion for military weapons and a tenuous grip on reality falls for up-and-coming Welsh writer Morwenna Midnight when they meet via an online writers’ forum.
Fantasy turns to obsession when he sees the garden gnome on the cover of her soon-to-be-published novel as his only rival for her affections. Throw in a cruise missile, a handful of clay sheep, long-distance-lust, and things can only go one way – completely tits-up.
