Tanya’s Heat : Endina L Ash
Tanya’s Heat
Tanya’s HEAT is the first in a planned series of African American erotic short stories and novels about women who desire a deeper level of sexual satisfaction. These women have no hesitation in their pursuit of a deeper level of sexual satisfaction. Some are on a journey to satisfy their sexual curiosity while others seek to push themselves past their current sexual limits. Their backgrounds may be different, as well as their methods, but they are all committed to the same goal; uninhibited sexual pleasure.
These stories range from the raw to the sophisticated with Tanya’s HEAT definitely falling in the raw category.
Tanya is a strong woman who got out of the “hood” but maintains her street sense and swagger. She wants more out of life and to her, that means more out of sex.
She’s grown tired of wasting away in a boring relationship with Scott; an uptight advertising executive whose own inhibitions leave him clueless when it comes to pleasing her in the bedroom. Out of frustration, she creates a personal sex bucket list that she believes will help her fulfill her deepest desires. To complete this list, Tanya knows that she will need a partner who is as willing as she is, which means cutting Scott out of the picture.
During a break in her relationship with Scott, she meets the handsome Jordan who seems more than capable of handling her list and her as well. Tanya makes it clear from the start that their relationship is casual but during, their first evening together, Jordan ignites a sexual fire in Tanya that turns her world upside down. She learns quickly that he is a highly skilled lover that gives her more than she could have imagined before she even gets to her list.
She shares the details of her new casual relationship with her sister Vonny who is a sexual freak with knowledge and appetites that exceed her own. Vonny offers her advice on how best to handle Jordan and more importantly, how to keep him. This proves difficult for Tanya with Scott still in the picture and things become even more complicated when she encounters Jordan’s “new friend” Whitney who has her own plans for Jordan. This makes Tanya jealous and she is forced to confront her true feelings about Jordan or risk losing him setting up an explosive confrontation with both Scott and Whitney.
A long talk with Vonny, a trip to the Caribbean, and the revelation of a long-kept secret help Tanya realize what she truly wants and how she’s going to get it.
The Sins of Maggie Black : Howard Petote
The Sins of Maggie Black
Insects buzz in the heavy air, and sitting in her ’85 Ford, saleswoman Maggie Black can barely breathe. Glancing at the little boy asleep behind her, she prays the van will start. Dirty, beat and shaking with fear, she thrusts the key in and twists hard, frantically pumping the gas.
Homeless and on the run, she lands in Lincoln, Nebraska—hoping to earn some money. Pitching her wares door-to-door as dusk falls, she’s stopped by the police. Before escorting her out of town, the sergeant offers advice—booming casinos in Deadwood need workers. A dream catches fire in her heart, but she strands 240 miles short, at a city campground in Scottsbluff. Broke, her son ill, she accepts the help of a lonely park ranger—only to become torn between his love, her dreams and the stark reality of her past.
A prairie town, dramatic bluff and historic river form the crucible in this visceral portrayal of survival, redemption and love.

Chasing the Dragon : Rich Leyden
Chasing the Dragon
Some friends and family have asked me what the book is about. I am never sure how to answer. I used to say it was about nothing, kind of like Seinfeld.
That is not entirely true. It is a fictional story set in Central Illinois and Arizona. A mysterious event early on sets the tone for the main character who obsesses about its elusive meaning. As he struggles for answers he lives his ordinary life which is interrupted by several extraordinary days over a sixty year period eventually returning him full circle.
I am not sure in to what genre this book falls. It has humor and suspense and even a love story It is a mash up, kind of like real life.

War Poet : Michael Hill
War Poet: The Life of Alan Seeger and His Rendezvous With Death
WAR POET is a biography of American poet, Alan Seeger, killed at the battle of the Somme in July 1916 and author of “I Have a Rendezvous with Death,” a favorite poem of President John F. Kennedy and one of the most powerful and memorable war poems of the twentieth century.
When first published in the fall of 1916, Seeger became an instant hero in America and, in Europe, many compared him to the martyred British poet Rupert Brooke. His death was seen by many as “one of the most romantic incidents of the war,” declaring his poetry “the authentic voice of … war’s ennobling glory.” Theodore Roosevelt called Seeger a “gallant, gifted young man … A dreamer of dreams, whose deeds made his death nobly good.”
The WALL STREET JOURNAL wrote: “Michael Hill … has brought Seeger to vivid life in a painfully touching biography, ‘War Poet: The Life of Alan Seeger and His Rendezvous With Death’ … [A] worthy addition to the canon of that war, one that emphasizes less its futility than its heartbreak in a worthy cause …”
WAR POET was a 2018 finalist in the New Generation Indie Book Awards.
