Bentwhistle The Dragon: In A Threat From The Past : Paul Cude
Bentwhistle The Dragon In A Threat From The Past
Bentwhistle the Dragon in A Threat from the Past is an adventure story children and adults alike will love. It’s set in the present day, when dragons across the world disguise themselves as humans using magical mantras. Blending in this way, they have infiltrated the human race at every level, to uphold an ancient charge to guide and nurture humanity. Three young dragon friends in their human guises become caught up in an evil plot to steal something very precious from the dragon community. How will the reluctant hero and his friends fare against an enemy of his race from far in the past?
Peter, Tank and Richie risk everything to thwart a scheming human who always seems one step ahead of them. With a dragon councillor making demands and an old man turning up out of the blue, the three friends barely have time to play hockey, lacrosse and rugby, or watch their favourite dragon team compete at laminium ball, let alone save the world. Will Peter and his friends be able to put the pieces of the puzzle together in time?
Fascinating insights into the dragon world are interspersed throughout the book. Ever wondered how dragons travel below ground at almost the speed of sound? Or how they use magical mantras to transform their giant bodies into convincing human shapes?
In an action packed adventure that features both human and dragon team sports, you’ll get a dragon-like perspective on human social issues and insight into what to do if you meet a giant spider grinning at you when you’re wearing nothing but your smile! You’d be flamin’ mad to miss it.

I Married a Narcissist Parasite : Dr. LL
I Married a Narcissist Parasite: Why Prince Harming Seduced You and How to Get Out (Volume 1)
Look around. The white sand. The waves. The pristine pool. Ahhh. What is everyone reading? If it’s not a fluffy magazine, then it’s probably a book about either being in a romantic relationship or exiting one that is less than romantic. If my book title, I MARRIED A PARASITE, hasn’t given it away, mine falls into the latter category.
Prince Harming, an uber narcissist, aka The Parasite, did what he could to destroy me, break my spirit, damage the other relationships I had, and take away everything that I had ever worked for or loved.
But he didn’t count on me bouncing back! And why wouldn’t I? I beat breast cancer. I lived in a home without walls for nearly a decade, stripped to the studs, sometimes even without power and running water. I knew I could be tough when I had to be. But, first, I had to get back up and find a way to break free, rediscover humor and love, and then have a ball (like a beach ball size worth!) of fun re-inventing myself and rebuilding.
Of course, nothing is perfect and my life wasn’t exactly the fairytale life of a Princess. But, lessons were learned along the way and are shared in this book which is best described as “Bridget Jones’ Diary” meets “War of the Roses” meets “The Money Pit”.
Join me on my journey by reading the all-important “I-wish-I-would-have-but-didn’t” do-over wish list and to sing along (ideally off-key with me) to just the right song at just the right moment. Together, we can talk about learning to let go. FYI 10% of book sale profits are donated to Project Safety Net which provides safe harbor for abuse victims and their pets. Available on Amazon.com in Kindle and Paperback.

The Super Spud Trilogy : Michael Diack
The Super Spud Trilogy
Genetic engineering has accomplished many things, one of which has been to create the Super Spud! The humble potato elevated to new heights, creating the most flavoursome crisps ever known to humankind!
But that’s not all – A magical transformation occurs to all Super Spud crisps not eaten before their use-by date. They take on a life of their own. And so long as they remain undetected by humans, they enjoy life in their own Super Spud cities, take part in major Super Spud sporting events and even start the odd Super Spud war or two.
Join Colin, Cougar, Hannibal Vector, Generals Rock, Jock and Strap and all the others in their rollicking adventures. You’ll never look at a packet of crisps in the same way again! Fun, quirky and totally original.
The personality of the Super Spud is determined by their flavour. Tuna flavours, enriched with omega-3 fish oils are very smart, while steak and spinach flavours are incredibly strong due to their high iron content.
The story is fast and composed of a series of non-stop adventures from one chapter to the next, encompassing locations including Egypt, Mexico, UK, Italy and the North Pole!
