My Friend The Sea : Douglas Model
Growing Up And Travelling The World By Sea
An action-packed true story about ten years of adventure, growing up and roaming the world by sea, visiting far-off lands and dealing with all manner of people.
A story of two years on a training ship – a school like no other; three years as an apprentice – the lowest form of life at sea; and five years as an officer.
During the ten years I was a sailor, I experienced the beauty of the sea in all its moods, but had to deal with prejudice against me on account of being half Jewish.
In Australia, I visited eccentric relatives, and in Japan the recently atom-bombed city of Hiroshima. On Pitcairn, I met descendants of the Mutiny on the Bounty, and in outback Fiji a chief obliged me to dance in front of a hundred natives seated in a compound and afterwards offered me a woman for the night. On a passenger ship, a lady came up to the bridge to make love to me. On another ship, the captain was so drunk at times that gin seemed to ooze from the pores of his skin. On another ship, the captain was a tyrant, who made Captain Queeg of The Caine Mutiny seem like a gentleman.
My plan was to become the captain of a large ship, but after some years I had a change of heart, and inspired by my experience of the sea, decided to give it all up and become a doctor, and the story is partly about the way I accomplished that.

Lazy Prey : Jeroen den Haan
A collection of poems written from the heart. Unfiltered, and categorized by readers as funny, touching and vulgar. In it, the author explores his newfound poetic path, pouring a wide range of emotions and memories in different poetic forms.
From lengthy real-life observations to funny little rhymes, Lazy Prey offers a surprising journey through the author’s mind.
Jeroen den Haan does not hold back. Whatever comes to mind goes on paper. That’s why Lazy Prey is not for the easily offended, or for the faint of heart. No subject is off the table, nothing is off-limits.
The author takes his reader on a rollercoaster of emotions, from erotic fantasies to romantic dreams and childlike observations of nature to the deepest pits of depression and fear.

Africa: The Sleeping (Cursed) Continent : George Obi
The rest of the world has moved forward whilst Africa has largely remained stagnant and has in many instances gone backwards.
Africa’s growth is hampered by self-inflicted problems: a palpable lack of visionary leadership; lack of accountability in government and the civil service; the cancer of corruption; the wholesale lack of service delivery; erosion of morality and societal values; the love of false prophets and allure of cheap grace; lack of respect for self, for others, for opportunities offered and for the rule of law.
Anarchy reigns in many countries; the law seems to have accepted defeat and societies have been desensitised to abominable crimes. There has been an erosion too of national pride and patriotism, and a preponderance for abrogation of duty and an unwillingness to take responsibility.
Those who care about Africa have gone through a gamut of emotions – from anger, frustration, pain, embarrassment, and shame at the glaring lack of development in Africa and the seeming indifference of the ruling elite and the so-called leaders of African society.
Who is to blame for the sorry state of Africa? The jockey who drove the horse of colonial oppression? Unscrupulous and greedy political leaders? Western powers?
No! The real danger to Africa and the root of all its misery is the citizen – uncaring, unconcerned, self-absorbed, self-centered, quick to rush to support the indefensible, small-minded and with a laissez-faire attitude to life and everything; quick to complain about unemployment, corruption, poor healthcare systems, poor education, lack of services among others, but failing to acknowledge responsibility as the primary enabler of these through unqualified unyielding support of those so-called leaders, who wreak havoc and cause desolation and pain on nation-states.
Yes, it is the citizen who gives public consent to those who keep Africa in bondage. It is the citizen who litters the streets, gives poor service, oversees the breakdown of morality and family by not setting the right values and setting bad examples for their children. It’s the citizen who does not keep time, provides poor service, enables crime and corrupt activities by looking the other way, refuses to look for the greater good in everything, but rather obsesses over self to the detriment of the whole.
The intent of this book is to get conversations going; provoke and enrage Africans to be charged up enough to do something about the state of their beloved continent. Gandhi once reminded us, ‘Be the change that you wish to see in the world’.
Wake up from your slumber African citizen for when you do, Africa’s immense potential and the fullness of its promise will be realized; Africa will awake and take its place among continents, and its member states, their rightful place among the nations of the world. Arise, sleeping Lion. Arise!!

Fat Chance : R.J. Leahy
Sean McDermott is a private detective in New York City, it says so right on his business card. It’s an ok job, but it isn’t as exciting as most people think, and that’s fine by him. He makes it a rule not to get involved in active police cases or in any case where people are likely to get hurt—especially him. So why does the mob suddenly want him dead? Sure it’s all a mistake, but dead from a mistake is still dead.
Taking advice from his friend, The Juke, he starts on a cross country drive to LA (what can I tell you, he has a few phobias, and flying is just one of them), and makes it as far as Mystic Falls, New Mexico before the borrowed Mercedes conks out. Mystic Falls? Think Green Acres—without the sophistication.
All he had to do was lie low and wait for the car to be fixed. A good plan too. It might have worked if only the local “character” hadn’t turned up missing, with him as the prime suspect. Now if he ever wants to get out of this sleepy desert asylum, he’s going to have to find her. Fat chance.

The Megalodon Sex Attacks : Amelia Winters
It’s like Jaws and Fifty Shades had a dangerous love child.
The versatile and sensual Amelia Winters has crafted an exquisite tale of erotic suspense that includes every arousing detail of spring-autumn power exchange and other dark couplings: BDSM, lesbian, and passionate male on male and intimacy.
No fades to black, delicate language or polite distance will keep you from experiencing every heartbeat, and touch.
The Delaware seaside resort of Aspen comes alive in a sizzling hot near-future summer. Local girls pick up summer break college students for outrageous speedboat parties while the local queer crowd tries to maintain identity among a sea of vacationers. You’ll experience the intimate moments…you’ll feel the adrenaline thrills…almost taste the salt on flesh!
But there’s trouble in paradise!
Three years ago a series of shark attacks gave rise to one of Aspen’s most coveted jobs. The summer interns who crew the Keller Biochem boats which maintain an offshore repellent system earn a shot at fall scholarships, as well as nightwork which ensures no curfew-time at home, guaranteeing a reputation for wildness.
The uninhibited and sunscreen-scented frenzy of summer is shattered when a girl is found brutally assaulted and murdered just outside the local marina. Can the crime be solved before it brings desolation, and what is the shocking connection to an ancient terror, a million-year-old predator-driven only by two primal urges?
The Cast:
Local Sheriff Noah Hunter, an emotionally distant veteran, let his job destroy his relationship. Afraid of his passions, he has already broken his own code of ethics for carnal satisfaction. Will he go further before he solves the riddle that threatens his way of life?
Jenna Colburn is the County Coroner. Alone in her own house of death, she has embraced the dark impulse in her own erotic makeup. What will happen when she meets an irresistible force of control and danger?
Meaghan Lockwood’s gives her body to a man she despises to hold on to an internship that could mean a free ride to college, while torn between the tenderness of her girlfriend’s embrace and the awful discovery of her own dark nature. Will she be able to accept her compulsion to seek a savage and controlling man?
Ryan North is a man who needs to control everything and everyone around him. With an identity and past, as well as a sexual nature shrouded in mystery, only his current mission of destruction is abundantly clear. Will his explosive meeting with an impetuous ex-lover result in a fatal detonation?
Caitlin Applegate has already found it’s hard to be pansexual with a girlfriend who hides a terrible secret and smoldering desire for a man society says she cannot have. Will she survive now that death stalks land and sea?
With steamy action in every chapter, The Megalodon Sex Attacks is a towering work of erotic suspense which will keep you on the edge of your seat from the first searing moment to an incredible climax.

The Viking on my Wishlist : Vinie Walling
A Contemporary Nordic Christmas Romance
For readers embracing the Danish way of celebrating a cosy Christmas – a quirky funny Christmas romance about wishes coming true and finding love at last …
As a child, Gitte wished for only one thing: the perfect boyfriend. Every year she wrote a letter addressed to Father Christmas. When her mother fell ill, Gitte dropped everything to stay close to her family including her dreams of living abroad. Years later, Gitte still lives in her hometown Roskilde.
Her childhood wish comes back to haunt her when she meets Lukas, a former classmate and shipwright at the Viking Ship Museum. Although Lukas is the shy silent type, he is determined to help Gitte to overcome her fears of abandonment and make her long-forgotten wish finally come true.
“Hi there, nice day for a swim!” I said cheerfully. Under my breath, I added, “When you’re a polar bear.”
“Let me help you up,” he said as if I hadn’t said anything.
I took the offered hand. It was large in my own. A rush of excitement pumped through my veins. So, I forgot to let go when I stood on my own feet. He was tall, more than a head taller than me, and I wasn’t short. The faintest hint of red coloured his cheeks.
“Gitte, there’s a lot of sand on your butt,” Bitte interrupted my perusal of Sexy Madman.
This novel is filled with Danish Christmas traditions like dancing around the Christmas tree. Catch the magic of Christmas in Denmark’s most romantic city, Roskilde.
