fascination : Kim Brown
fascination
Annette is a beautiful college girl with a sexually charged agenda, free of the entanglements of a relationship, until one fateful night when her social trajectory is taken off course by a date that goes terribly awry.
Some of her encounters are glorious mountaintop experiences, some of them are hideous. Such are the realities of a promiscuous young woman who becomes obsessed with finding her next “date.” Jeremy is a young gifted musician with a string of failed sexual encounters, certain that he’ll be an eternal virgin. These two unlikely partners become involved, but not until after she has a brutal encounter with a certain man who has a hatred for provocative women.
After the trauma of that event, meeting Jeremy becomes about the relationship and not about the sex. But when she finally becomes involved with someone she’s not only attracted to, who she actually admires and enjoys being with, she won’t even kiss him!
This erotic romance novella explores sexuality from several very different perspectives. Complex characters and the scenarios that unfold make for gripping stories that come to climactic resolutions. Coming of age takes on a whole new meaning for this young woman who finally comes to grips with her own fascination.

Hinterland : David E Cattermole
Hinterland
Magnus was a bluesman once. So were his friends the street magician and the pleasure seeker.
When student days in Brighton ended, their band and Magnus’ carefree years continued as Kelly’s Heroes toured the pubs and clubs of London and the South. They drank, they fought, they laughed, they partied and they made their music.
Fifteen years later, a very different Magnus, a career-obsessed, isolated, thirty-something Magnus, loses his life in a road traffic accident.
Hinterland is the story of how that Magnus became this Magnus and his search for peace on a journey through an afterlife he is not ready to accept. A journey through a place that he fears and rejects in favour of trying to find a way back to the living, to those he left behind, to his young family and to Isla his wife. A journey overshadowed by the secret he carries.
Walking with Magnus and his fellow travellers in the Hinterland we learn how love and jealousy, friendship and greed, tragedy and happiness, hope and the pace of life itself shaped his soul. A soul that must face its earthly past if it is to find its way to peace.
Set in the quiet beauty of the north Suffolk coast and buzzing 1990’s Brighton, Hinterland reframes the question ‘what if today was your last day on earth? by asking ‘what if it had been yesterday?’

Motorbikes and Camels : Nejoud Al-Yagout
Motorbikes and Camels
Drawing from her own experience as a Kuwaiti, Al-Yagout brings a relatable and essential voice not normally seen in Middle Eastern literature.
While the Kuwaiti narrative has traditionally been overlooked, Al-Yagout masterfully brings not only one worthy new voice to the table, but several through her dynamic and reflective characters. The novel also tackles controversial but needed topics such as LGBTQ+ relationships, gender roles, apostasy, and other hard truths.
The unique, interlaced narratives of different characters per chapter examine the individual hardships many people face in relationships and as members of a larger community.
There is Salma, facing a spiritual crisis in a region steeped in dogma; Hussam—a billionaire’s son who tries but fails to conceal his gay relationship; Mohammed: grasping tightly to antiquated patriarchal ideals at the expense of his love life; Mike, who adopts cultural appropriation to provide him with a stable foundation when his world collapses; and the remaining characters, one per chapter, revealing the impact of collective thought matrices on the individual and vice versa.
Motorbikes and Camels is a timely book that begs the question, offered to the reader by one of the protagonists, Zayna: Am I who I am because of my culture?
