–Amazon review (5 stars)

“Just a great read!! Did not want to put it down!!”
–Amazon review (5 stars)

Ruby Steele, 30, beautiful, fit, seems just like any other ex-pat hiding out in the Bahamas and playing local bartender. But unruly patrons find out the hard way: Ruby is a mixed-martial-arts pro, and not one you’d want to cross.

In fact, Ruby would be a champion if she hadn’t been forced to walk away and hide out in the Bahamas.

Because Ruby knows too much. She knows where the bodies are buried. And she knows when it’s time to get out of town.

But what Ruby doesn’t know is why there is a dead tourist in the dumpster behind her seedy bar.

Or why, she, of all people, had to find it.

Or why this guy was out at 3am when he had a pretty fiancé waiting in a hotel room a mile away.

Or why the local cops are pinning her.

Or why she’s gonna be forced into a choice: find the killer, or do hard time herself.

For Ruby, good choices have never been her strong point.

And this one’s definitely not going to be good…

Welcome to the Bahamian world of Ruby Steele, replete with her local dive bar, her wily pet monkey, her major drinking problem, her (way) too many fights, her inability to get herself out of trouble, and her fists made of stone. Ruby’s life is a complete wreck. But there’s one thing she’s good at: capturing your heart.

ON THE ROCKS (A RUBY STEELE MYSTERY) is the debut novel in a page-turning mystery/thriller series, one that will linger with you long after the last page is read.

Books #2 (EXTRA DIRTY) and #3 (FULL-BODIED) in the series are also available.

Only Dead on the Inside: A Parent's Guide to Surviving the Zombie Apocalypseby James Breakwell

It's not easy being a parent these days. There are bills to pay. Kids to feed. And hordes of undead monsters to keep at bay.
There are plenty of guides out there about how to survive the zombie apocalypse. All of them assume readers are young, fit, and unencumbered by children. In that scenario, the only living humans left will be smug, outdoorsy Millennials. That's hell on earth, even without the zombies.
Only Dead on the Inside is the answer for the rest of us.
Written by professional comedy writer and amateur father-of-four James Breakwell (@XplodingUnicorn), Only Dead on the Inside blends traditional parenting advice with zombie survival tips, bringing together two totally unrelated genres in a book no one asked for but everyone needs.
This step-by-step manual teaches you how to raise happy, healthy children in a world overrun by the undead. Motivated moms and dads want it all, and that won't change at the end of the world. There's no reason you can't be a zombie killing machine AND parent of the year, but you have to work for it.
If you want to make sure your family is apocalypse-ready, Only Dead on the Inside is your best–and only–chance at survival. No pressure, but if you don't read this book, your children will die.

The Palest Ink (Tales of the Scavenger's Daughters)by Kay Bratt

'A deftly crafted and riveting read from beginning to end'-Midwest Book Review

When two lost souls find love, their devotion may be the ultimate sacrifice. During China's most chaotic period in history, a revolution creates thousands of innocent victims. Fearful citizens turn against one another and anyone accused of disloyalty to Chairman Mao is at risk of being sentenced to death. When best friends Pony Boy and Benfu get caught in the chaos, they must make heart-wrenching decisions regarding family, friendship, and courage

The Palest Ink depicts the trials of two young men–and the women they love–during the tumultuous years of the Cultural Revolution.

Talk Dirty To Meby Ali Parker

The story was an emotional one which held my attention from beginning to end. Ali has written a truly moving tale. — Amazon Reviewer

A woman in the business of love that’s never been in a real relationship.

Check. That’s me. Nessa Night.

Now I know what you’re thinking. That sounds like a stripper name.

Hold up. Let me explain.

It’s my radio talk-show name. My incognito way of helping the world love deeper and more often.

Though my love life is like a ten-year-old fall leaf trapped between the pages of an old journal. #dramatic

I’m short. Curvy. Average at best.

And I’m a fraud.

For all the advice I give on the air, I have zero experience to back it up. I’m eternally single. Forever alone.

And the only man I’ve ever caught feelings for is one of my callers: Mr No Name.

Much to my surprise, he’s not unknown at all.

The grandson of the great Jack Daniels is my caller, and worse? He’s my brother’s best friend from high school.

Only one way to right these increasingly awkward wrongs.

High school reunion time. He wants in, and I want a date who looks like him.

The only thing off is his advice about love. It’s from Nessa night. Me!

And if he swoons over her (me!) one more time, I’ll have to give in and tell him.

Besides, I’m in the business of love.

If I don’t got this, who does? *Gulp*
