A Connecticut Fashionista in King Arthur’s Court

July 13, 2015 By Editor

A medieval time travel romance with plenty of humor and snark.

Sex and the City…of Camelot?
Once upon a time there lived an outspoken fashion editor named Kat, who certainly was not your typical damsel in distress. But when a gypsy curse sent her back in time to medieval England in the days of King Arthur, she found she’d need every ounce of her 21st century wits (and pop culture references) to navigate the legend. After all, surviving a magical plot, an evil prince, and a case of mistaken identity–all without changing history or scuffing your Manolos–takes some doing!

The Legend You Only Thought You Knew…
Luckily, she’s got her very own knight in shining armor, Lancelot du Lac, on her side. The honorable-to-a-fault and devastatingly handsome champion insists on helping her out, even though she’s not quite sure she wants him to. After all, shouldn’t he be off romancing Queen Guenevere instead? Will Kat manage to stay out of trouble long enough to get back to martinis, manicures, and macchiatos? And what will she and Lancelot’s forbidden romance mean for Arthurian legend? $0.99 on Kindle.

Saving Grace – A Story of Adoption

June 23, 2015 By Editor

It started with a piece of paper—-a birth certificate, sent to the author’s parents long after her birth. There is much history in that piece of paper. For she was born to an unwed mother in the generation prior to Roe v. Wade, on a warm day in August—a small, painful beginning in which she had been an unwilling participant, yet one that would shape her destiny. She is adopted into a loving home with another child that would become her beloved brother. She finds herself pregnant; she’s a teen and a college student, abandoned at the news. The options are obvious, but there is only one decision she could make: to give her child up to a family praying for one, and walking away. Saving Grace is more than a story of adoption. It’s a deep look into family—at hope and faith and why we end our days surrounded by souls that may not bear our name or share our blood, but who are our true family. $0.99 on Kindle.

Everlast, a Brainrush Thriller

June 21, 2015 By Editor

From #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author Richard Bard comes the next highly anticipated “Brainrush” thriller, a mind-gripping action thriller that spans three continents and two books – “Everlast” and “Ephemeral,” which was an “Indiereader.com Best Book of 2014.”

A gifted boy forced to grow up too fast… A father who will do anything to protect him… A madman bent on destroying them both.

In Amsterdam, a visionary scientist is laying the groundwork for a cybernetic life-extension project that will transfer individual consciousness to a personalized avatar. Halfway around the world, his brilliant grandson is secretly planning to use the same technology to infiltrate the world’s most secure networks. But the scientific advances necessary to perfect the brain-to-computer interface are slow in coming, too slow for the aging founder of the Everlast foundation—who may die before realizing his dream of immortality—and too slow for his ruthless grandson, who will stop at nothing to attain the recognition that is his birthright.

Caught in the middle are Jake Bronson and his seven-year-old son, Alex, whose combined mental gifts might provide the key to leapfrogging the impasse.

When Jake’s family and closest friends are simultaneously abducted in a globally coordinated kidnapping scheme, Jake is thrust into a frantic race that takes him from the canals of Amsterdam and the cobbled streets of Rome to the back alleys of Hong Kong and the South China jungles, where he must lever every scrap of his failing abilities to rescue his loved ones and crush a madman’s plans to bring the world to its knees. $0.99 on Kindle.

The Naked Truth About Men (And Romance)

June 20, 2015 By Editor

Accurately understanding men will revolutionize how women approach romance, attests Psychologist Dr. Kathryn Foster, in her bold work, The Naked Truth About Men (And Romance.) Women have struggled to figure out “what happened” to the man she married. All of a sudden, he is distant, unresponsive, and unable to communicate and romance like he did when they were courting. Understanding is the key to dispelling the “crazy making” emotions and feeling the need to “fix” something. Everyone wins when blaming is transformed to understanding and she begins communicating using this knowledge. Never before have women been positioned to so radically change the world. It all begins with women’s shifting their expectations of romance.

From hormones to brain structure, women and men differ. The author explains how testosterone, lesser empathy, and being a “systemizer” affect men in romances. A psychologist, Dr. Foster balances thought-provoking stories from her practice with fascinating research findings to illustrate ‘The Naked Truth About Men (And Romance.’)

In this groundbreaking work, Dr. Foster gives voice to the many women who suffer silently in relationships, a staggering two thirds of whom initiate all divorces. Men, too, will be enlightened: they are the ones dumbfounded, thinking all is well because she’s stopped complaining, when actually, she’d given up long ago.

This provocative book presents the low down on men and how their fundamental mojo differs from women and affects romance. Why has the term “the opposite sex” survived despite those who worked hard to prove that the genders are alike? Because her oxytocin and his testosterone promote opposite behaviors and attitudes.

PROFILE OF RETRIBUTION

From USA Today bestselling author, Alexa Grace, comes the third book in her Profile Series: Profile of Retribution, a spine-tingling story of guilt, vengeance and regret.

The Dream
Bradley and Tisha Lucas had a mini-mansion in the country, a thriving architectural business, and two handsome, intelligent and athletic teenage sons. They were living the dream, until the day their world imploded and they were thrust into a parent’s worst nightmare.

At a support group, the families of the women murdered by the Lucas twins gather to tell their stories, share their anger and grief, as they move toward a new normal.

For one member of the group, an obsession for payback drove his days and nights. He pledged to make Bradley and Tisha Lucas pay for the crimes of their sons. It was a pledge he was determined to keep. He’d make them suffer, just as their sons’ victims had. Those who spawn monsters shall be judged, shall be condemned. Retribution would be his.

Racing Against the Clock
It wasn’t that Sgt. Cameron Chase didn’t have a suspect, he had too many of them.
There were seven families who might want to harm the Lucas couple. But which of them wanted the ultimate in retribution — to see them dead?
