Axeviathon: Son of Dragons : Tessa Dawn
As an immortal mercenary and all-around badass, Axeviathon Saphyrius has spent the last two centuries in service to a fearsome dragon lord, while biding his time awaiting his fated female – the one woman he is destined to claim and love.
He never expected to be cast into a nightmare fraught with shadow-walkers, sin-eaters, and lethal pagan enemies – he never expected his chosen mate to be up to her eyeballs in the same malevolent cult or to be used as an unwitting pawn in an epochs-old rivalry. So when his amulet heats up and her eyes turn sapphire blue, he knows he is in for a wild ride. This won’t be an ordinary claiming.
Amber Carpenter’s life may as well have been cursed. From her rocky upbringing in the foster-care system to her terrifying abduction at age fifteen by a ruthless pack of thugs, she has learned to play the hand life deals her. And somewhere along the way, she has even made peace with her tragic fate.
When a gorgeous, yet savage warrior strolls up to her teller line in King’s Castle Credit Union, Amber knows right away that something is wrong…
The way he looks at her…
The way he approaches her…
The fact that he already knows her name.
And his unnatural, hypnotic eyes—raven-black pupils surrounded by sapphire irises, a hidden fire blazing in their depths.
Amber knows he’ll be back.
When the savage demands of a dragyri male collide with the tragic misfortune of a human woman’s life, a race against time begins, and two very different worlds erupt into fire, passion, and devastation.

Choices, Changes and Friends: 1970s After Divorce : Alice Parker
A fan said: “Sex & the City for suburbanite housewives!”
In the radical 1970s, four-25-year old, friends – newly divorced with children–somewhat ordinary, Chicago suburbanite-housewives became willing participants in escapade sex, some drugs, and too much alcohol, but dancing always.
Their backgrounds give an idea of their need for independence, as they endured suburban-blight from television-burnout and sexually-inept/non-attentive, emotionally-abusive husbands. Once one of them took the ‘giant-divorce-leap for womankind,’ the others followed. They knew divorce was not easy, nor any guarantee of happiness, but ‘winners risk,’ so they took the gamble. None of them ever had any control over their lives before, but they certainly wanted to try.
They experimented dating men, not acceptable before, tried some drugs, often drank too much, but also danced their cares away. With new male-attention, they grew brazen and confident exploring the gamut of willing men for dalliance, clandestine, and some bikers, then even a ménage à trois with a famous movie star. It empowered them all more than expected–laughing and learning.
They also took college classes, started a house-cleaning service, then thought about their changes, as the friendships shifted. Years rolled by, with dilemma-decisions of children-choices, a real career, and remarriage. A sense of humor, wry satire in situations, and sarcasm handled whatever hit each one.
Life separated them–still, they reunited frequently. They’re definitely changed-women twenty-plus years later, who have grown so much, in so many different ways. Some things did not change–like in how they support each other through difficulties that would’ve torn weaker-women apart.
Their history together was the foundation that kept them moving forward through life’s harshest realities. These relatable pioneers encouraged many women around them into independence, sharing lessons learned from their experiences of the wild, crazy-times of their younger years.
Soon to be made into a Streaming-TV series!

Who Said What? : Liam Keane
“I represent the youth of today; a thief, a scrounger, a menace, a dope-head and a right royal pain in the arse.”
From the minute he is born, Paul is set on a path to a life of crime and anti-social behaviour. Pushed through a school system offering him nothing other than a place to create a substitute family for the one at home that lacks motivation and inspiration. Where bad luck and few opportunities meet, Paul grows into the very model of a young man demonised by society and caught in a trap of poverty, disempowerment, and criminality.
Up for trial at court for a robbery that goes wrong, Paul’s last days of freedom are dogged by the emerging realisation of an adulthood full of limitations and an understanding that he never stood a chance nor gave himself a chance. A young man who has lost his moral compass on life for which nobody seems able to redirect him.
When Paul’s best friend Georgie goes missing at a rave, carrying dope for a local gangster, Paul is left to face the trial alone, and the realisation that in the dark, shadowy depths of sub-society, monsters bask. He finds himself out of his depth and the hole he is digging is getting deeper and darker.
Paul’s sense of alienation and disaffection erupts in terrifying and violent rages, causing him to cross the very last remnants of social acceptability as he plays out his life with only one person in mind, himself. Empathy, values do not appear in his vocabulary. What has created this young man to feel this way about himself and others? A young man that is adept at believing what he says enough times will surely mean it’s true, but will truth catch up with him?
“When fiction becomes reality, and reality becomes fiction, it shows just how insane reality has become.”

Up to You: Thailand & The Naughty Nightlife of Pattaya : Doctor Hoi and Go-Go Gonzo
Doctor Hoi and Go-Go Gonzo will be the first to admit that they don’t know everything about Thailand and its culture, but they do know about its nightlife.
After years of venturing to the country, Pattaya in particular, to enjoy their little slice of Paradise, the two have realised something pretty monumental: when they’re there, they’re exactly who they want to be. In an attempt to both inform and entertain, the two authors have teamed up to recall their own experiences in Up to You: Thailand and the Naughty Nightlife of Pattaya, providing a unique and fascinating insight into the intriguing world and alluring naughty side of Thailand.
Through an honest, humorous and compelling compendium of real-life stories, experiences, anecdotes and advice accumulated from their many years of exploring this wonderful, bewildering, mesmerising and often fascinating phenomenon, this book serves as an indispensable guide to the person seeking to explore and experience the delights and trappings of – what appears to be on the surface – an adult playground utopia.
It’s a tragedy that this place (perhaps understandably) is barely mentioned in any mainstream guidebooks, but Hoi and Gonzo are trying to remedy that, all the while fondly recalling some of their wildest experiences and dispelling common myths and misconceptions associated with the sex industry in Thailand.
