Nobody Cares About Your Fantasy Team : Robert DeLucia
Nobody cares about your fantasy team. It’s a saying as old as time. Or as old as fantasy sports. Really there’d be no way of knowing. What we do know for sure though is that nobody cares about your fantasy football team. Nope. People simply don’t have an interest in your make-believe NFL squad.
So what could this book possibly be about? How much time can we really spend talking about how little the general population of America cares about my fantasy football team? Well if Seinfeld could squeeze nine seasons out of nothing than 200 pages is a walk in the park.
If you want a story filled with romance, twist and turns, drama and engaging characters…well you’ll at least get the last thing. So come along on a historic journey as we look to find out just how true the phrase “nobody cares about your fantasy team” really is. Or, perhaps…isn’t.
Dad you’re so beautiful : Céline Audebeau
“Dad, you’re so beautiful”, these are the words my daughter said the first time she saw me after my transition. This sentence continues to resonate in my head…
As Simone de Beauvoir says so well “we are not born as a woman, we become”. I waited 53 years to become the one I am today. A sometimes long, but extraordinary process of love, sharing and support.
My transition from man to woman, I chose it from beginning to end; my particularity being to make this change overnight. I entered the hospital as a man and came out five days later as a woman.
I have the audacity to believe that this book can help other people in the same situation, parents, relatives, friends. To give them a new vision of what dysphoric people are living.

Transfer From Alcatraz has all the character variety of Pulp Fiction, and all the mystery and thrills of Silence of the Lambs, in a less darker sense.

Kill Code: A Dystopian Science Fiction Novel : Clive Fleury
When the oceans rise…The truth drowns.
The year 2031. Our future. Their present. A world decimated by climate catastrophe, where the sun’s heat is deadly and the oceans rise higher every day. A world ruled by the rich, powerful, and corrupt. A world where a good man can’t survive for long.
Hogan Duran was a good man once: a good cop, forced to resign in disgrace when he couldn’t save his partner from a bullet. Now Hogan lives on the fraying edges of society, serving cruel masters and scavenging trash dumps just to survive.
But after four years of living in poverty, Hogan finally gets the chance to get back on his feet. He’s invited to join the National Security Council, the powerful paramilitary organization responsible for protecting the rich and powerful from the more unsavory elements of society. All he needs to do is pass their deadly entrance exam, and he’ll be rewarded with wealth and opportunity beyond his wildest dreams.
But this ex-cop’s path to redemption won’t be easy. The NSC is hiding something, and as Hogan descends deeper and deeper into their world, he starts to uncover the terrible truth of how the powerful in this new society keep their power…and just how far they’ll go to protect their secrets.
In a world gone wrong, can one good man make a difference? Or will he die trying?

Surviving C-Diff: A Patient’s Perspective : David and Monica Archer
Did you know your gut contains good and bad bacteria? Did you know you have more than one thousand types of bacteria in your intestines? Have you heard that taking too many antibiotics kills off that bacteria? Fast facts: once the gut bacteria is destroyed, you could end up with a serious intestinal infection!
Some sources say a whopping 24 million pounds of antibiotics are prescribed each year! The extinction of our “inner garden” within our intestines is imminent! Bacterial resistance due to microbes destroyed is a vital concern, i.e. development of life-threatening “superbugs,” such as clostridium difficile (also known as C-Diff.)
We should all be concerned, as we are creating superbugs for which there will be no cure. Antibiotics change how the gut bugs/microbes interact with each other. C-Diff is proof of this!
Your health depends on healing your microbiome. We’ve found that diet is essential to the healing process. That’s why we’ve included some of our own recipes to help.
Do you realize obesity and microbiome are connected? The microbiome in obese individuals are altered. This long-term imbalance can cause health problems such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
We need gut bacteria to fight pathogens. The earlier you give a child antibiotics, the more it can affect them later in life. We’re killing bacteria that help detoxify our bodies. In this book, we explain how to heal from C-Diff and feed gut bacteria, rather than eradicating them.

The Note Man : Andrew Pine
“Did you really think you’d get away with it?” When Peter Jeffries slapped those words across the window of a luxurious Mercedes-Benz, he’d had no idea what the consequences would be.
Recently fired, the frustrated family man had written the note for the blond woman behind the wheel – the one who’d cut him off in traffic without using her turn signals. He slapped the note and hid, waiting to see her reaction.
Instead, it was her husband who saw it – brutal Irish gangster Jackie ‘The Ox’ O’Neal.
The Ox isn’t the kind of man to take threats lightly – even if they weren’t actually intended for him.
Soon, Peter’s impulsive act of road-rage has resulted in mayhem, murder, and kidnapping – and now, Peter’s life is on the line.
Fast-paced, funny, and frightening, The Note Man is the debut novel of Andrew Pine – deftly exploring the chillingly-plausible consequences of a single act of anger. Fans of John Marrs, Gillian Flynn, and twisted, speculative fiction like Black Mirror will be instantly hooked.

The Empress of the Clouds : Desiree Ultican
In March 1896, Widow Evaline “Evvy” Amstel has been left with a tremendous debt―before he was murdered, her husband had promised to build and deliver a revolutionary airship, The Empress of the Clouds, to Erasmus Marchand, an embittered Southern millionaire who resents the fact that the damned Yankees won the Civil War. Now that Amstel is dead, no one in Joplin, Missouri, a zinc/lead mining boomtown, knows where the Empress is . . . or if it even exists.
Count Frederick von Zeppelin also has a stake in finding the airship. He has accused Evvy’s husband of stealing the original designs from him and is determined to recover the ship in order to build up Germany’s military might.
Evvy takes over her husband’s failing airship company and the company thrives for a time. But Marchand is fanatical in his quest to find the Empress―to arm it with a weapon of mass destruction at a pivotal moment in history and instigate anarchy. He’ll stop at nothing to achieve his vision and Evvy is proving to be a huge impediment. It’s up to her and local deputy Sean McTavish to find the airship before Marchand or Zeppelin does, because the future of the United States is in peril.
The Empress of the Clouds is a steampunk adventure. This alternative history tale features a spunky resourceful heroine who doesn’t allow adversity and evil to overpower her but seizes control of her own destiny.
