The Cornish Princessby Tanya Anne Crosby

Long before there was a Winter King, there was a Summer Queen—Gwendolyn of Cornwall, a fierce warrior princess who raised an army to unite a nation.

If you love British lore and ever longed to dive headlong into its spirit…
If you hoped to meet the “tribe of the gods” who ruled Ireland and indelibly left their mark upon the British Isles…
If you’re ready to embark on a magical journey into the dawn of Britain…
If you can find it in yourself to trust me as your storyteller and leave all expectations behind… join me for a rollercoaster ride through history.

Said to be a changeling child left to the King and Queen of Cornwall, Gwendolyn is “blessed” at her cradle by three Fae gifts: a prophecy for her future, a gift of “Reflection,” and a golden mane—quite literally, every lock of her hair will turn to gold, only provided it is cut by her one true love.

Yet no one understands more than Gwendolyn that her blessings are actually curses. Any man who gazes upon her will see his own heart reflected in her countenance, and depending upon his virtue, she is the loveliest woman in all the land… or the most hideous. It’s a cruel jest of the capricious Fae, for unless a man’s heart be true, Gwendolyn is destined to be coveted for her crown, but despised for her face.

To make matters worse, Gwendolyn’s ailing father is desperate for an alliance with King Brutus of Loegria. “The Romans are coming!” and according to the Goldenchild Prophecy, only by uniting their dragon banners can they stem the Red Tide. Offered to Brutus’s ambitious son, Prince Locrinus, Gwendolyn’s heart is tempted by a mysterious, maddening half-blood Fae who she can never wed if she is to fulfill her crib side prophecy.

Part 1 of an exciting, new fantasy trilogy.

Balanceby Inghild Økland

As Vildi, the less important princess of Rimdalir, my duty is to marry, and marry well. To the glacial chasms of hell with that!

I want adventure. A nice, suitor-free yet fairy-tale adventure. I can even endure rants about a tragic prince, if it brings me honey cake. Throw in a few mysteries, a sprinkle of old magic, and I’m happy.

That’s what I thought.

Yet upon arriving in Lakari, Land of the Sun, I wander through familiar streets. I recognize the people, the taverns, even the black cat strolling as royalty through the market square. In this new land, no one was supposed to know my name, and yet I’m hunted.

Already they have killed me many, many times. And so I start over.

When a stranger finds me in the desert night, will he be my savior, or my undoing?

After a childhood watching Disney, speckled with a touch of The Prince of Persia and inspired by Re:Zero, Balance, is a story about a headstrong heroine, the clutches of magic, and a prince’s secrets.

When Major Spencer Haddock’s father dies, he returns to England as the Earl of Middlefield. He seeks a typical ton marriage, where his wife will provide him with an heir and possibly other children and then they go their separate ways. He intends to find his countess quickly and not waste time at boring social affairs.

Lady Tessa Foster delays her come-out for several years in order to care for her ill parents. Now out of mourning, Tessa is eager to be introduced in Polite Society so she can find a husband and start a family of her own.

The Dark Angelby Kathryn Le Veque

It’s not often the House of de Velt sees both tragedy and comedy, but when Medieval hippies come to call on the darkest lord of all, Julian de Velt gets caught up in the Medieval mayhem…

But he pays a price.

Lista de la Mere is a young woman of beauty, sense, and education. Unfortunately, her mother and her aunt don’t have the same sensibilities. Lista is an heiress, and a very wealthy one, and if her conniving, alcoholic mother and her sly, drug-addicted aunt have anything to say about it, she’s going to marry the man that can provide them with unlimited coinage to feed their habits – and put them back on top of the social hierarchy.

Lista’s mother was a friend of Kellington Coleby de Velt, Julian’s mother, long ago. They pitch Lista to Kellington as a wife for Julian and although Julian has no intention of marrying any time soon, he’s rather intrigued with the lovely, bright young woman who is so capable of drawing him out of his shell.

But Lista’s mother and aunt don’t stop there. It’s their intention to have a bidding war, the prize being Lista, and they pitch Lista to another knight, a man who is friendly until he feels Julian has wronged him. Julian, who is usually shy and quiet, must call forth the inner devil that his father managed to tame so ably to protect what is his.

Now, it’s Julian’s time to rise.

Join introverted, powerful Julian and sweet, intelligent Lista as they battle to save a love that too many people are trying to destroy.

It’s peace, love, chaos and madness in Medieval England!

Connecting is Caring: GOING BEYOND THE CALL OF SENIOR CARE IN THE SILVER TSUNAMI ERA by Santhosh Gopinathan

A Silver Tsunami
Baby boomers are retiring. Census data shows up to 11.8 million people in the U.S. are eighty years old or older, according to Age and Sex Composition in the United States: 2019 (https://www.census.gov/data/tables/2019/demo/age-and-sex/2019-age-sex-composition.html). That number is expected to grow two and a half times by 2050. If you consider the population of people sixty-five and older today, that number will triple. The number of people who are getting to an age where they will need some level of personal care to get them through their golden years is staggering.

What does it take to provide a higher level of care? Or, more exactly, what’s the definition of care? Is it providing meals and fresh clothes and linens, or is there more to care about than that? Isn’t there more to life for the elderly? How do you make home care a fulfilling or liberating experience for a client who has cognitive decline? Or how do you make home care a trusted service for someone who has just been a victim of elder financial abuse? “Communication Is Connecting, and Connecting Is Caring” was our driving motto as we entered this segment, to provide care at a superior level.

From The Emptiness: The Austere Time of The Crystal by O.T. Babalola

In these fantasy tales, we see a convergence between multiple dimensions where the world of two different existences faces adversaries that challenge their continued future. The book tells the story ‘From the Emptiness’ where entities were more drawn to the dark than the light. Light, in its highest authorities, summons time to seize it from existence. Also told is the story of ‘The Austere Time of the Crystal’ where the lives of young mortals are rattled and attacked by a greater power.

Island of the Lost: An Extraordinary Story of Survival at the Edge of the World by Joan Druett

“Riveting.” —The New York Times Book Review Hundreds of miles from civilization, two ships wreck on opposite ends of the same deserted island in this true story of human nature at its best—and at its worst.

It is 1864, and Captain Thomas Musgrave’s schooner, the Grafton, has just wrecked on Auckland Island, a forbidding piece of land 285 miles south of New Zealand. Battered by year-round freezing rain and constant winds, it is one of the most inhospitable places on earth. To be shipwrecked there means almost certain death.

Incredibly, at the same time on the opposite end of the island, another ship runs aground during a storm. Separated by only twenty miles and the island’s treacherous, impassable cliffs, the crews of the Grafton and the Invercauld face the same fate. And yet where the Invercauld’s crew turns inward on itself, fighting, starving, and even turning to cannibalism, Musgrave’s crew bands together to build a cabin and a forge—and eventually, to find a way to escape.

Using the survivors’ journals and historical records, award-winning maritime historian Joan Druett brings to life this extraordinary untold story about leadership and the fine line between order and chaos.

Unmasking the Dukeby Mary Lancaster

Love at first smile…

Charmingly wicked, Johnny Winter has spent his adulthood drifting from scandal to scandal. However, inheriting the dukedom of Dearham has him considering his responsibilities, one of which is to right the wrong done to a distant cousin twenty years ago. His search takes him to Maida Pleasure Gardens, where he is distracted by an unusual and intriguing beauty.

The first time Kitty saw the gentleman with the bone-melting smile, she lost her heart.

When, more than a year later, she finally dances with him, the moment is spoiled by having to tie him up at gunpoint. For Kitty is the niece of the infamous Bill Renwick, who owns Maida Gardens and lives too close to the edges of the law. And Johnny has seen too much.

So begins an impossible attraction – made all the more dangerous by the duke’s belief that she is his long-lost relation.

Torn between the only family she knows and her longing for the duke, Kitty’s quandary is taken out of her hands by an attempt on her life. Learning to be a lady in the duke’s household brings further complications, not least her increasing obsession with her unconventional host, the man behind the mask he shows the world.

The duke sees beyond the mystery of Kitty’s origins, but can she? And having finally found the love of his life, can he keep her safe and still find a way for them to be together?

Immune by Jacqueline Druga

Nature is unpredictable, as are viruses and when one so volatile surfaces with a vengeance, there is not only little time to comprehend the devastation, but even less time to do anything about it.

In the wake of the virus, there are three types of people. Those immediately infected, those who are vulnerable and those who are immune.

The initial infection ripples across the globe infecting half of the world’s population. A small fraction of the ill are fortunate and die quickly from the disease, the remainder are condemned to a living death on earth.

The virus turns the infected into mindless and violent beings, intent on the kill and spreading the infection to those who are not immune.

One bite, one scratch.

The virus is an anomaly. It moves too quickly for a cure.

The world quickly transforms into a darkened place, besieged with violence and sickness. Hope against extinction is in the hands of the immune. They can walk freely among the infected, fight to extinguish them, while protecting those who are still at risk.

Archaeologist, Grace Howard is one of the immune. While she dreams of traveling the world, learning about lost civilizations, the reality of being a wife and mother, kept her saddled to a local job at the museum dusting dinosaur bones and relics.

Grace finds herself with a small group of survivors, some immune, some not. Together they must struggle to live day to day in a dangerous world, while protecting those who can still fall prey to the infected. They must decide what is best. Fight it out or hide until eventually and hopefully, the virus runs its course.

As the house slowly reveals its secrets, Jesse’s life is threatened. Someone doesn’t want those secrets unearthed and will stop at nothing, even murder, to keep them hidden.

This mystery will keep you guessing. Start guessing now.

The Internet Is Not the Answerby Andrew Keen

The renowned Internet commentator and author of How to Fix the Future“expos[es] the greed, egotism and narcissism that fuels the tech world” (Chicago Tribune).

The digital revolution has contributed to the world in many positive ways, but we are less aware of the Internet’s deeply negative effects. The Internet Is Not the Answer, by longtime Internet skeptic Andrew Keen, offers a comprehensive look at what the Internet is doing to our lives. The book traces the technological and economic history of the Internet, from its founding in the 1960s through the rise of big data companies to the increasing attempts to monetize almost every human activity. In this sharp, witty narrative, informed by the work of other writers, reporters, and academics, as well as his own research and interviews, Keen shows us the tech world, warts and all.

Startling and important, The Internet Is Not the Answer is a big-picture look at what the Internet is doing to our society and an investigation of what we can do to try to make sure the decisions we are making about the reconfiguring of our world do not lead to unpleasant, unforeseen aftershocks.

“Andrew Keen has written a very powerful and daring manifesto questioning whether the Internet lives up to its own espoused values. He is not an opponent of Internet culture, he is its conscience, and must be heard.” –Po Bronson, #1 New York Times–bestselling author

KATYA, The Stripper and the Spyby KT PEK

THE STRIPPER AND THE SPY (KATYA’S ANTHOLOGY, BOOK 1)

I was spinning out of control… afraid to give up the life I had meticulously built to stay nameless and hidden. Until I met Jacob.

His lips offered a world of sensual bliss, even as they held his dangerous secrets. He cut through my defenses, offering me the purest love I had always dreamed of, but never believed would be mine. I opened my heart, and let him in.

To be with him, I would have to step out of the dark and be seen in the light, risking the obsession of my boss, a violent mob captain who would expose my deepest secrets, threatening more than just my life.

Kiss & Tellby C. Morgan

Her willingness to blackmail me into her bed is shocking.

But I can’t help myself.

I’ve worked my face off to make a name for myself in the architect world, and finally it’s landed me the perfect job–teaching at my local university.

Not a day goes by when a student doesn’t flirt and try their hand at winning my heart, if only for a night.

But I know the rules, and I follow them closely. No way in hell I’m giving up this sweet gig.

My newest student has stolen my attention and has me thinking things I should never think.

And her flirting goes to a new level. She’s defiant, dark, and not afraid of a little blackmail to get what she wants.

The young woman is beyond beautiful and everything I fantasize about, but I have a secret I want to keep hidden.

Unfortunately for me, she knows it and is more than happy to use it to get what she wants most–me.

What started out as a one-time payment turns into a burning need neither of us can ignore.

I just hope this girl is the type that doesn’t kiss and tell.

Otherwise, I’m ruined.

Crow Planet: Essential Wisdom from the Urban Wildernessby Lyanda Lynn Haupt

There are more crows now than ever. Their abundance is both an indicator of ecological imbalance and a generous opportunity to connect with the animal world. Crow Planet reminds us that we do not need to head to faraway places to encounter "nature." Rather, even in the suburbs and cities where we live we are surrounded by wild life such as crows, and through observing them we can enhance our appreciation of the world's natural order.

Crow Planet richly weaves Haupt's own "crow stories" as well as scientific and scholarly research and the history and mythology of crows, culminating in a book that is sure to make readers see the world around them in a very different way.

The Father's Tree: … it's out there.by Crystal Jencks

The tale of the Garden of Eden is one of the most well-known and universally loved stories of all time, and Dr. Elise Harper and her team believe there’s more than a little truth to it. To prove the science books wrong and religious lore right, they trek into the Caucasus mountain ranges, amidst a world ravaged with war and apocalyptic tragedy.
But shortly into the expedition, events pivot dangerously. Nature and hidden supernatural forces interrupt their mission, and the team’s motivation transforms from finding the Tree of Life to simply maintaining life itself.
Complicating things, the group is infused with wild cards, which drive tensions even higher, keeping them guessing if the future brings a chance for new beginning, or a path leading to death.

Being Authentic: A Memoirby Morhaf Al Achkar

⚠ Our existence is fragile. I learned that in many intricate ways, so I do not take today for granted. I do not know what tomorrow will bring. I do not even know if tomorrow will come. ⚠

◆ On the eve of Thanksgiving 2016, I received the diagnosis of stage 4 lung cancer. Next to dying, I fear the spread of cancer to my brain and losing my ability to think, speak, or write. This loss would be devastating to me. ◆

• The fragility of our life made me want to be authentic. Therefore, I am writing this memoir to be authentic–we become our true selves when we author who we are.
• I am afraid of being forgotten. Death does frighten me. But more than dying, I am scared of having no one remember me or, even worse, of being recognized differently from who I was. At the same time, I have never thought that I was entitled to ask others not to forget me. But, not to be forgotten is precisely what I yearn for. ★
• While I am writing for the other, I am simultaneously writing for myself. I am one of the readers and will test the subject as it gets written. My criteria are stricter. I want to say, “This is my narrative.” 

♥ I need to be able to say, “This is my narrative.” ♥

Billionaire Bachelorby Ali Parker

Everyone seems to be in love but me. Why is that?

Relationship after relationship, and nothing.

I’m always the bridesmaid, but never the bride.

It’s getting old. Fast.

And just when I start to give up, he walks into my life.

Sexy, strong, older. The father of one of my students.

It’s against the rules to feel the way I do about him, but I can’t help myself.

A single father with a sexy demeanor and deep pockets.

But that’s not what gets me about him.

It’s the way he looks at me. As if he already owns me.

The relationship can be our little secret.

Or can it?

This is book 1 of a continued series. It will end in a cliffhanger. You will need to buy the other books to continue the story.

Come Go with Meby C. Morgan

I’m focused, which is a good thing and a really bad thing too.

My job has my attention. It should. I have a son to provide for.

Unfortunately, I don’t have much time for the boy.

Hiring a nanny is a must after he gets into some trouble that leaves me needing extra eyes on him.

But the woman I hire is everything I want in my life and in my bed.

A job takes me overseas and I have no choice but to offer her a great opportunity to go with us.

I don’t have time for family so I sure as hell don’t have time for love.

Funnily enough, love didn’t ask.

I’m drowning in desire around this vixen and falling for her more and more every day.

Watching her with my boy leaves me wanting so much more than a work arrangement with her.

But she’s protecting herself because she can’t have kids and is worried a good man won’t accept that.

She’s dead wrong. I’m getting her to leave that old life of condemnation and come follow me to something better.

Love. Warmth. Smoking-hot heat.

Video Game Careers Demystified: Trifecta of Game Makers, Athletes, and Ecosystem in a Thriving Industryby Michael Chang

Written by a video game marketer and consultant who had worked in both AAA game development and indie game studios for over a decade.

Come experience the thrills and the ups and downs of this incredible industry – with an emphasis on first-hand accounts of what IT’S REALLY LIKE to develop, launch, and publish video games.

Hear first-hand accounts and WORDS OF WISDOM – about how THEY got their starts in the video game industry – from celebrated experts who have worked on such iconic games like Pac-Man, Ultima, RuneScape, Dark Age of Camelot, Candy Crush Saga, DungeonKeeper, Dragon Age, Star Wars the Old Republic, ABC Mouse, Halo, Pieces of Flair, Real Racing, FIFA Ultimate Team, and many more.

Together with a framework that allows a young gamer to look inside one’s self; explore one’s unique set of strengths, weaknesses, talents, and values; decide if this industry is right for one’s self, how to stand out, and how to get started…

This book seeks to delight, educate, and inspire the readers by answering three sets of questions:

1. WHAT IS IT REALLY LIKE to create and publish games?

2. Does THE INDUSTRY OFFER VIABLE OPPORTUNITIES for young people? What about teens who are not STEM-inclined or artistic?

3. SHOULD EDUCATORS AND PARENTS FOSTER, CULTIVATE, OR CURE such “dreamers”? And if the former, How?

The Future of Feeling: Building Empathy in a Tech-Obsessed Worldby Kaitlin Ugolik Phillips

An insightful exploration of what social media, AI, robot technology, and the digital world are doing to our relationships with each other and with ourselves.

There’s no doubt that technology has made it easier to communicate. It’s also easier to shut someone out when we are confronted with online discourse. Why bother to understand strangers–or even acquaintances–when you can troll them, block them, or just click “Unfriend” and never look back? However briefly satisfying that might be, it’s also potentially eroding one of our most human traits: empathy.

So what does the future look like when something so vital to a peaceful, healthy, and productive society is fading away? The cautionary, yet hopeful, answer is in this champion for an endangered emotion.

In The Future of Feeling, Kaitlin Ugolik Phillips shares her own personal stories as well as those of doctors, entrepreneurs, teachers, journalists, and scientists about moving innovation and technology forward without succumbing to isolation. This book is for anyone interested in how our brains work, how they’re subtly being rewired to work differently, and what that ultimately means for us as humans.

Being Authentic: A Memoirby Morhaf Al Achkar

⚠ Our existence is fragile. I learned that in many intricate ways, so I do not take today for granted. I do not know what tomorrow will bring. I do not even know if tomorrow will come. ⚠

◆ On the eve of Thanksgiving 2016, I received the diagnosis of stage 4 lung cancer. Next to dying, I fear the spread of cancer to my brain and losing my ability to think, speak, or write. This loss would be devastating to me. ◆

• The fragility of our life made me want to be authentic. Therefore, I am writing this memoir to be authentic–we become our true selves when we author who we are.
• I am afraid of being forgotten. Death does frighten me. But more than dying, I am scared of having no one remember me or, even worse, of being recognized differently from who I was. At the same time, I have never thought that I was entitled to ask others not to forget me. But, not to be forgotten is precisely what I yearn for. ★
• While I am writing for the other, I am simultaneously writing for myself. I am one of the readers and will test the subject as it gets written. My criteria are stricter. I want to say, “This is my narrative.” 

♥ I need to be able to say, “This is my narrative.” ♥

Life after Life: A Selection of Individual Experiences in the Beyondby Beatrice Brunner

In this book 12 deceased human beings describe their initial experiences and encounters in the beyond. These personal accounts, transmitted through the Swiss deep trance medium Beatrice Brunner, are impressive testimonies of the continuation of life after death and provide revealing insights into the world that awaits us. Each of these accounts gives us information which goes far beyond what has been ascertained by classical thanatology.

“My name is Mathys … When I arrived here in the beyond, I was astonished at the reception I was given. My parents, who had returned to the spirit world a long time before, came to greet me and were overjoyed to see me. ‘Now you need never worry again about your daily bread!’ they told me.”

“My name is Peter. I died when I was seventeen. During my short life on earth I never gave any particular thought to the world beyond. When I entered this world where everything was quite new to me, I was met by my grandmother, clearly overjoyed that I had come home.”

“My name is Theresia. … During my life on earth I, too, made many, many mistakes. I was told this immediately I arrived here in the spiritual world. But I was also told the following: ‘Theresia, you have earned yourself considerable merit on account of your many children.'”

“My name is Jakob. … During my life on earth I could not believe in God – I could not find him. I had little sense of responsibility and could see no purpose in life. My lack of belief led me to make many mistakes in my life.”

“My name is Maximilian. … I did not suffer much before my death, and when I opened my eyes in the next world I was astonished to discover that death was not the end of everything.”

“My name is Amalia. … I was ill for a while and I had to be nursed. … When I opened my eyes I found myself in a very different setting: everything was bright, and there was light all around me.”

Everyone seems to be in love but me. Why is that?

Relationship after relationship, and nothing.

I’m always the bridesmaid, but never the bride.

It’s getting old. Fast.

And just when I start to give up, he walks into my life.

Sexy, strong, older. The father of one of my students.

It’s against the rules to feel the way I do about him, but I can’t help myself.

A single father with a sexy demeanor and deep pockets.

But that’s not what gets me about him.

It’s the way he looks at me. As if he already owns me.

The relationship can be our little secret.

Or can it?

An Immoral Erotic Parable of American Eve & African Adamby D H Chewins

>What if the First Man Adam is black?

When God The Maker cracks a joke, we have explosive interracial sex exploit that makes Fifty Shades look tame.

Is it the one life choice of Katheryn Kellington – a well-bred, well-schooled southern belle – to pursue in college a study of African history — particularly the importation of negro slaves and slavery’s role in The American Civil War — that leads to her corruption and taboo interracial lust?

Is her story of orgasmic discovery more sinister, enabled by Lucifer the Devil?

Katheryn Kellington is the American Eve and Massai Mobuku the African Adam.

Lucifer intends their interracial sex to be natural, inevitable, and God-sanctioned. And torrid, gripping, aboveboard; nothing less will entice.

And, what has an ad in a classy women’s magazine got to do with this?

The Legacy of a Vampire Witch: The Complete Urban Fantasy Boxsetby Theophilus Monroe

5 books and 1200+ pages of vampires, witches, and New Orleans Voodoo fill this complete urban fantasy boxset.

Because you can’t stake a heartless vampire…

Book 1: Bloody Hell 

It had been almost a century and a half since I last encountered anyone from the Order of the Morning Dawn. They were religious fundamentalists with the dual goal of eliminating vampires and witches.

Being both a vampire and a witch I was the embodiment of everything the Order hates. Their first attempt to eliminate me failed. Thanks to the fact that my mentor in the Craft was also a necromancer.

When they burned my heart they didn’t kill me. They unwittingly completed a spell that tied my existence to the soul of one who took my place in hell.

Now I’m heartless, literally.

Not having a heart has some advantages. It means I’m pretty resilient, especially when it comes to wooden stakes.

So long as the soul bound to my existence remained in hell, I was virtually invincible.

But the Order figured it out. They hope to redeem the soul who was damned in my stead. If they do that, I’ll meet the true death for sure.  I have to capture the one damned in my place before the Order manages to liberate him from perdition. If they free him, I will die.

I have to go to bloody hell.

Also included…

Book 2: Bloody Mad:   A Vampire in an asylum? Like that’s going to end well…
