Genre: Literary Fiction

FREE for a limited time

Jack Hickman is an antisocial software exec who designs team-building applications in the late 1990s. Controlled and calculating, his world begins to splinter when he learns – in the middle of a corporate meeting – that his father has committed suicide. Returning home to the Gulf Coast, Jack struggles with a host of unresolved feelings as he buries the man he hated most.

Interwoven throughout the novel, chapters set in the 1970s depict Jack as a boy, chronicling his relationships with a storm-tossed mother and a menacing father, living in the shadows of the petrochemical plants scattered along the Gulf Coast.

The novel highlights the differences between life in California at the end of the Dot-Com era and life in blue collar Texas during the 1970s, contrasting Jack as a man and as a child, and showing how the people who bring us into the world shape us forever.

Shadow of Stone (The Pendragon Chronicles)
Ruth Nestvold
4.7 Stars (28 Reviews)
Genre: Science Fiction | Fantasy

FREE for a limited time

For over ten years, there has been peace in Britain after Arthur and his warriors soundly defeated the Saxons at the battle of Caer Baddon. But sometimes peace is deceptive …

After a series of hard winters and famine, an alliance of dissatisfied northern kings attack the rich cities of Southern Britain. But in the years of peace, Arthur’s army has grown soft; jealousies and trivialities rip once strong alliances apart. Cador, who is mockingly referred to as “farmer king,” must go to war again. The threat to their way of life throws him together with Yseult, the woman he has secretly loved since he was a youth.

But can their politically expedient marriage help bring peace to Britain again? Or will it only lead to further conflict? As betrayals both real and imagined shake the foundations of former British unity, Cador and Yseult must try to negotiate their own personal peace. Who will survive the upheavals to come? Will Britain rally once more behind a common leader to fight off the common threat?

Shadow of Stone:

There was once a woman, fair as the moon, who lived most of her life beyond the realm of legend. As she stood beside the grave of her lover, the legend that ended with his death was far from her mind. Her soul felt as dark as the shadow cast by Drystan’s standing stone, dark and barren. Love was over, but life was not; she would have to find a way to go on, for the sake of their son.

This is the story of how Yseult outlived the legend that had been her life.

Twirling Naked in the Streets and No One Noticed; Growing Up With Undiagnosed Autism
Jeannie Davide-Rivera
4.6 Stars (19 Reviews)
Genre: Health, Fitness & Dieting | Biographies & Memoirs

FREE for a limited time

Jeannie grew up with autism, but no one around here knew it. Twirling Naked in the Streets will take you on a journey into the mind of a child on the autism spectrum; a child who grows into an adolescent, an adult, and becomes a wife, mother, student, and writer with autism.

This is a gripping memoir of a quirky, weird, but gifted child who grows up never quite finding her niche only to discover at the age of 38 that all the issues, problems, and weirdness she experienced were because she had Asperger’s Syndrome (AS), a form of high-functioning autism.

The tale begins at age three and takes us all the way through her diagnosis. Along the way she explains autism in a way that will have fellow “Aspies” crying tears of joy at being understood, and “neuro-typical” people really starting to grasp the challenges that autistic people face every moment of every day.

Jericho Johnson: The Gauntlet of Time
J.A. Stowell
4.2 Stars (11 Reviews)
Genre: Action & Adventure | Fantasy

FREE for a limited time

Jericho Johnson: Gauntlet of Time is a new take on the much overdone time-traveling genre with a fresh, rule-breaking take on the choices and ramifications associated with such.

Jericho Johnson is a twenty-two year old prodigy who has a masters degree in history, living out his life teaching at a college to students mostly older than him. When he discovers a white gauntlet with the ability to send him through time and space on a freak hiking trip, though, his already abnormal existence gets even more so when he begins traveling to all the wondrous places he had read about. Also, he uses his new gift like anyone else would in 2012 and becomes a billionaire in a few short months as he predicts major, world-changing outcomes and events, keeping the gauntlet a secret while the populace hoists him atop the pantheon of prophets, seers, wizards and the just plain lucky.

Jericho’s perfect, time-traveling life is turned upside down when he meets Chloe Sparks, a Russian girl from the year 2340, who tries to tell him that he should stop while he was ahead and give her his precious gauntlet.

But just when Jericho thinks getting pulled over by a future time-cop is all he has to worry about, he meets Klaus, another man from the future who has his on private agenda including, but not limited to, the destruction of the Jericho’s world and a major Russian takeover.

When the reality hits, Jericho, along with a ragtag group of antiheroes he pulled from several different times, step up to the plate to stop the madman, save the world, everyone in it, and, most of all, time itself.

The Chocolate Gravy Queen
Memphis Layne
4.2 Stars (13 Reviews)
Genre: Children’s eBooks | Children’s Fiction | Humor & Entertainment | Humor

FREE for a limited time

My name is Memphis Autumn Layne and I live in Lickskillet, Alabama, on the corner of Moontown Road and Butter and Egg Lane. No joke. But don’t get the wrong idea; I’m not a backwoods hillbilly, even though I do come from a long line of rednecks and hicks. There is a big difference between a hillbilly and a redneck, you know.

Oh, and just to set the record straight right from the start; contrary to popular belief (i.e., the movie Sweet Home Alabama ) we don’t eat bologna cake here,  that’s sick! I’d never even heard of it before that movie! We prefer cheeseburger pie or a fried Twinkie and, most importantly, chocolate gravy! Although that does remind me of the story my Momma told me about how my Uncle Jeremiah, when he was little, snuck some bologna into church, stood on the front pew and……OK, I’m chasing a rabbit now, as my grandpa likes to say. Back to the subject, which is me.

One thing you need to know – I am going to be a big country music star one day. I know this because my great-grandma Patty Lou said so when I was just a little girl and all the family knows that her visions are surprisingly accurate. Also because I have become an overnight news sensation. You are probably wondering how a young redneck nobody could have all the news channels begging for an interview and that is what I will let you in on a little later.

Anyway, I won’t bore you with all the details of my life since my birth, which my Momma assures me was long and painful on that October day in Memphis, so I’ll just back-track about a month to when the story starts getting real interesting and when I got my first real taste of the stage…
