In the year of 2067, a new world is discovered amidst the dark expanses of the universe. Harvesting the resources of this vast planet, known as Xavier997, may be the only hope a post-apocalyptic Earth has for survival. Upon arriving, however, the explorers of this promising new world soon discover that the treacherous and, most shockingly, inhabited realm of Xavier may also lead to mankind’s final undoing.
In order to shed light on the dangerous secrets of this world, Captain Michael Dawn must lead a team of earth’s most skilled soldiers across its globe in search of five mysterious items known as the Scrolls. What seems like a routine mission, however, goes terribly wrong as Dawn and his team quickly realize that Xavier does not give up her treasures without a fight. To find the Scrolls, Captain Dawn must risk everything, including his love, his career, and his life.
Without the Scrolls, mankind's final hope is lost. With them, it might be even worse.

Warning: Adult Content

This is a novel about the temptations of sensuality, but it also narrates the intimate feelings, the yearning and quest for love of a young woman. Some say it’s a romance, other say, it isn’t. Whoever enjoyed '50 Shades of Grey', 'Scandalous' or the 'This Man' trilogy might fall in love with the erotic tension in this book as well.

Due to sexual content and the subject matter, this book is intended for ages 18+

It is tale about a man and a woman who try to find their role in life – sharing some common denominators: sensuality paired with the desire to succeed. But they are only to learn, in the course of their marriage, that this volatility of excitement was and will not be sufficient. Daniel is a conventional fellow who focuses on his career in the world of technology. Juliane, on the other hand, sees her marriage slipping away – no longer can she cope with her husband’s demands for sexual promiscuity to further his chances in his career; nor is she willing to further succumb to those ideas. For many people, Juliane is considered a vixen – young, vibrant and blessed with her good looks. Only a few know that when men and women alike feel being physically attracted to her, it is recognition, self-affirmation and testimonial for her as a woman. Sex fulfills her needs and becomes her language of communication – perhaps a substitute for ‘normal’ communication that she has not mastered yet. Her desire for comfort and closeness remains often unanswered, thus she must pay a high price for the path she has chosen.

Despite several relationships before her marriage, the young student Juliane is still a novice in matters of love....

Book 2:

Juliane finds ways to escape her pursuers in Cologne and now flees to her husband in California. For that she had to abort her university studies. Her prior sexual encounters had taken such a big toll on Juliane that her psyche was deeply hurt. But regardless, she will not confide into anyone. In her new homeland of California it is her husband who, for his professional aspirations and over ambitiousness, drives her into a new affair. Unrelated violence and abuse that she faces become part of her daily fears and anxieties. Again, Juliane needs to call her own shots while facing dangers that pale in comparison to the risks she was exposed to back in Cologne. She becomes deeply involved in crime and murder.

Just asking, but after sleeping with a literary agent, shouldn't you receive more than a form rejection letter?

It might also have helped to know that this want-to-be writer is bi-polar.

However, she is not the one to be feared most by this agent. For her anger and zest in destroying his career has created a copycat, a serial killer with a new target--literary agents.

When a serial killer stalks literary agents, and brutally kills them, the world of publishing panics with fear as the FBI hunts for the cold blooded killer, wondering what could cause a person to become such a monster?

To someone else, the rejection letter might be perceived as a simple piece of correspondence. But when Amy, who suffers from bipolar disorder receives a form rejection letter from Edward, an agent she had an affair with at a recent convention, she takes the rejection as both personal and professional--in short--a declaration of war.

Amy quickly embarks on a plan to get revenge by destroying Edward's literary agency, but Amy is soon not the one to be feared the most. Her actions create a copycat, a serial killer, who targets literary agents and viciously murders them.

Living with the knowledge she has created a monster, a serial killer, is one thing, while doing nothing to stop the madness is another. But how could she track down a killer when she has no training in such? Thinking like a mad man might be the only way--but could she go there and survive herself? When the winds of fate, however, rekindle the romance with Edward, thus making him the next target--she really has no choice but to help the FBI before it is too late.

Part One of The Third Rule: Atrocities.
“You’re still alive until you meet The Third Rule.”
New Rules. Old Corruption.
In an England where a new government comes to power on a wave of atrocities, truth and justice are executed as freely as the criminals, using a strict code of punishment designed to combat crime, called The Rules. But it’s not only the criminals who fear their introduction. The Rules push boundaries too far, and though described as infallible, they are far from perfect. A Rule Three conviction earns you a trip to the slaughterhouse and a bullet in the head. And sometimes, you don’t even need to be guilty.

CSI Eddie Collins is dragged into a new turmoil after a hit-and-run driver leaves his son dead. He and reporter Mick Lyndon begin to uncover things that attract the wrong kind of attention from the wrong kind of people. Can Eddie find out the killer’s identity, and can he stay alive long enough to take revenge?

“If you want to kill serious crime, you have to kill serious criminals.”
Sir George Deacon, Minster of Justice.

It's a game to die for...

First, we used them for soldiers. Then laborers. Now the Undead are avatars -- ex-cons and Volunteers, bought and paid for, then killed, implanted and reanimated -- in a virtual reality video game.

Welcome to the world of GAMELAND.

Set in the middle of Long Island's forbidden wasteland, Gameland is where the rich and privileged pit zombies against one another, all for kicks. Most people buy their way into The Game. Others get in by dying.

Only the foolish would try to hack their way in.

In a world drowning in contradictions, Jessica Daniels is struggling to make sense of it all. Her long-dead father is universally reviled for having invented Reanimation technology, yet the very beings he helped create are being increasingly accepted by an increasingly repressed society, which, in turn, is becoming more and more dependent upon the dead -- for security, for work, and now for entertainment. As Jessica -- a computer gamer and hacker herself -- approaches her eighteenth birthday, all she wants is to escape her family's dark past.

So why does she keep rushing headlong into it?

EPISODE 1: Deep Into The Game
A reckless suggestion leads Jessie and her friends onto Long Island for an end-of-the-summer adventure, hoping simply to catch an unlikely glimpse of the infected victims of a decades-old outbreak. But if they think breaking in was easy, they'll soon discover that getting back out is a killer. Someone -- or something -- doesn't want them to leave. Not alive, anyway.

EPISODE TWO: Failsafe
Jessie and Kelly clash after a member of their group gets stranded among the Infected Undead, prompting Kelly to make a rash decision which will ultimately deliver them all into the hands of those who would turn them into mindless players in The Game.

Five hackers. One game. Ten thousand Undead.

Shy, funny, loveable Emily’s a pretty unlikely candidate for a phone sex operator. She’d die if she had to talk dirty face-to-face—especially to her hot cop boyfriend. She sure didn’t set out to do phone sex—she wanted to be a writer. But when her BFF framed her for plagiarism, she got in a tiny financial hole and saw this ad for “phone actresses”…

Hey, it’s not nearly as bad as it sounds. No pantyhose or pantsuits, no regular hours, you’re your own boss, and lots of people to talk to. Guys, that is. But here’s the odd thing—lots of them want to talk about more than Emily’s imagined attributes; they start to think of her as the best friend they’ll never have to meet.

Next thing you know, one of her customers gets killed and Emily knows a lot more about it than she should. But she can’t tell the nearest cop, who’s also her own true love, because then he’ll find out about her secret life. What’s a phone kitten to do? Solve the murder herself, of course—because wouldn’t it be a great story for the newspaper that wrongly fired her? It’s her ticket back to her real life—if it doesn’t get her killed.

One part cozy mystery, one part Jennifer Cruise-type witty romance, one part Diary of a Phone Sex Operator, Phone Kitten is your ticket to hours of giggles—so long as you’re not looking for raunch. Because this is so not it!

As a still "aspiring author" I can only apologise if the editing is not quite up to the professional level. I am writing, proofing, editing, promoting etc all whilst working a normal full-time job. My novels have all had multiple read throughs and been sent through three different software programs for spelling & grammar checks. I hope that readers understand if there are some very minor errors to still be found, and I have always set my book prices to reflect this. I hope that you enjoy this novel and read it with a little understanding.

Love is something everyone longs for at the deepest level—but for some, love is a curse. This is most certainly true for Asher Lake, the Keeper of an unknown group of people called ani-shifts. Ani-shifts, those with the ability to shift into animal forms, compose a secretive body of individuals known simply as the Union.

A wolf in shifter form, Asher lives with a curse placed upon him and his predecessors by the elusive Raven—a dark entity whose identity remains a mystery. According to the ancient archives, the Raven’s curse is conditional and set in motion by one fatal decision: if a Keeper ever allows himself to fall in love, he will die.

Choosing to live in isolation within the walls of Lake Manor, a private estate concealed by the dense woods of Brokenridge, Asher has vowed never to love or to fall in love with anyone believing it to be the only way to survive the curse. However, after ten years of neglecting his people and the protégés left in his care, along with the impending threats of an uprising, Asher learns the only way to break the Raven’s curse on future Keepers, thereby preventing them from suffering the same fate, is to accept his.

This becomes Asher’s biggest challenge of all when he encounters Elle Ison, the woman of his dreams. Does Elle hold the key? Can she help Asher change his fate?

Ares and Aphrodite
Antony and Cleopatra
Superman and Lois Lane
Bailey Russell and Austin Travers

They can’t get along with each other, but they can’t get along without each other. Bailey likes to win whether in the courtroom or on the 10K race track. So does Austin. When the two meet, sparks fly in all directions.

Bailey Russell’s life is pretty much perfect. She has a dog, a condo, and she’s on the fast track to becoming a partner in the small law firm where she works. Then Austin Travers shows up with his electric blue eyes and electric touch. He beats her in a 10K race, almost overtakes her in an impromptu swim meet, and cooks a delicious meal while her cheesecake tastes like greasy cardboard. However, she takes him down in the courtroom and in a game of chess. The score is close to even. Then she learns he wants to change her law firm, merge it with a bigger one, disrupt Bailey’s life.

To her chagrin, Bailey finds herself attracted to the annoying man, but she remembers only too well the painful days of being a skinny, awkward adolescent, the butt of jokes about red hair and freckles and brainy women. Men like Austin Travers reserved their interest for beautiful women with soft voices and bust line measurements that exceeded their IQs.

Austin soon realizes that Bailey is the most frustrating woman he’s ever met, a tiger, a force to be reckoned with. She makes him crazy, but all other women are pale ghosts beside her. She makes him feel vital and alive. If only he can figure out how to be around her for five minutes without wanting to strangle her.

The Way of Kings (Stormlight Archive, The) by Brandon Sanderson

Rating: 4.6 Stars with721 votes

Category: Fantasy

Price: $2.99 *Price subject to change at any time*

UK Friends Click Here!

Widely acclaimed for his work completing Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time saga, Brandon Sanderson now begins a grand cycle of his own, one every bit as ambitious and immersive.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter.

It has been centuries since the fall of the ten consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor that transform ordinary men into near-invincible warriors. Men trade kingdoms for Shardblades. Wars were fought for them, and won by them.

One such war rages on a ruined landscape called the Shattered Plains. There, Kaladin, who traded his medical apprenticeship for a spear to protect his little brother, has been reduced to slavery. In a war that makes no sense, where ten armies fight separately against a single foe, he struggles to save his men and to fathom the leaders who consider them expendable.

Brightlord Dalinar Kholin commands one of those other armies. Like his brother, the late king, he is fascinated by an ancient text called The Way of Kings. Troubled by over-powering visions of ancient times and the Knights Radiant, he has begun to doubt his own sanity.

Across the ocean, an untried young woman named Shallan seeks to train under an eminent scholar and notorious heretic, Dalinar’s niece, Jasnah. Though she genuinely loves learning, Shallan’s motives are less than pure. As she plans a daring theft, her research for Jasnah hints at secrets of the Knights Radiant and the true cause of the war.

The result of over ten years of planning, writing, and world-building, The Way of Kings is but the opening movement of the Stormlight Archive, a bold masterpiece in the making.

Speak again the ancient oaths,

Life before death.Strength before weakness.Journey before Destination.and return to men the Shards they once bore.

The Knights Radiant must stand again.

Waking up is the pits when you come to in a hospital with a broken arm, a colorful assortment of abrasions and contusions, and a face swathed in bandages. It’s even worse if you can’t remember what hit you.

The bad and the ugly are crime reporter Amanda “A.J.” Gregson’s business. But learning she had a ringside seat for an explosion that killed two agents of the Continental Intelligence and Investigative Service (CIIS), incinerated an entire block of warehouses, and did so much damage to her eyes they had to be surgically removed? Well, that gives the darker side of life a whole new meaning.

Haunted by elusive nightmares, A.J. waits for her transplant and struggles to remember the events leading up to the fateful night of September 4, 2075. Weeks crawl by without a glimmer, before memory floods back the night before surgery, every brutal detail crystal clear.

The explosion had been the work of the Ferrymen.

"The Ferrymen. My not-so-magnificent obsession for more than a year. Only a cataclysm could have made me forget. I guess you could call them hitmen. You could also call Einstein a math whiz. Think ruthless. Think unstoppable. Think killers so proficient 'caught the ferry' was fast replacing 'bought the farm' in common usage, and you have the Ferrymen in a nutshell."

The transplant surgery goes off without a hitch—welcome news, because A.J. is raring for a rematch with...

What began for Ryan Tipton as a journey into the heart of Maricel Arcamo, a woman he met online just six months ago, deepens considerably after he travels halfway around the world just to meet her. After spending one perfect week together, everything quickly crumbles one week later, after he informs his new girlfriend that he never went back to the States after all. This comes as a complete and total shock to her, because she actually saw him off at the airport last week. They even shared a tearful embrace as her family looked on, before he boarded his plane supposedly headed back to the US. But that simply wasn't the case. Instead, he remained in the Philippines another week to meet with two other Filipino women he'd also met on the same online dating site, both of whom were just as much in the dark about his secret betrayals as Maricel.

Full of utter remorse for lying to the woman he knew deep down inside he truly loved, Tipton finally places a frantic 3 a.m. call to a man he met just last week, Ernesto Angeles, owner of Agape Coffee and Pastry Shoppe. After losing a daughter to suicide twenty years ago, a senseless death brought about by nothing more than a broken heart, he and his wife, Gloria, eventually turned their pain and grief into action, and set out to do all they could to help prevent anymore of these senseless suicides from occurring in their city. Since that time, thousands of lives were forever changed, most of them mixed couples, prompting many to believe that God Himself had ordained this loving Filipino couple to become guardian angels for so many of His hurting and needy people. But in an establishment where love, forgiveness and redemption reign supreme, after what Ryan did to Maricel, was it possible for them to ever be added to the long list of satisfied customers, or were they already too far gone for reconciliation...
