Sinopse

Travel to the cold northern lands and the British countryside in a book that champions the triumph of the common man. The stories are filled with plucky heroes who outsmart trolls, dragons, and cruel stepmothers through sheer determination. It reflects the rugged spirit of the cultures represented, blending elements of high fantasy with earthy humor. The volume is a testament to the enduring appeal of the underdog in the face of supernatural adversity.

    Under the mistletoe with my enemy? What else can we do but kiss? 
    A family emergency brings me back to Christmas Falls after running away from the loss of my mother six years ago. Not much has changed, and I don't know if that's a good thing or bad, especially when it seems my high school enemy hasn't gotten over his habit of circling around me. 
    Jett is everything I'm not, so full of confidence like he's never done a single thing wrong in his life. He vibrates life, and I have to admit his presence distracts me from being back in Christmas Falls. What I didn't expect is for him to take all my attention. 
    He'd gotten under my skin back then and he's only dug in deeper since, and I can't let anyone find out how much I love that fact. Now if only he'd stop stealing my heart with his crookedly perfect smiles... 
    Christmas Falls is a multi-author M/M romance series set in a small town that thrives on enough holiday charm to rival any Hallmark movie.

    Tragedy struck when I least expected it, leaving me a widow in what was supposed to be the prime of my life. With my daughter away at college, I withdrew further—becoming a reclusive version of myself. 
    The quietness of my big empty house was suffocating, my only form of solace being the rhythmic laps I repeated each day in my pool. Day after day, I remained frozen in time, while the world moved on without me. 
    Until…a year later, at forty-six, two young, handsome men came into my life who were more than willing to help me embark on a steamy journey of self-awakening. I found myself eager to watch and learn…to explore exactly what they were offering. And before long, I was diving deep into more than just the water of my pool. My time with them taught me everything I needed to see that life after tragedy didn’t have to be done alone. 
    A brief encounter with a man from the gym introduced me to someone who was walking the same journey of grief after losing a spouse. He brought life back to the parts of my heart I thought died the day I lost my husband; as if fate was watching out for me, offering me a chance to love again.

    Upon the vast continent of Canazar, the echoes of the ancient war between dragon and mankind linger in the shadows of a murky past. Join Markus upon his quest as he seeks The Eye—a mystical artifact forged in a time when dragons and mankind were locked in a fierce battle. After long years of imprisonment and torment, the dragon lord’s vengeance knew no bounds, following its catastrophic escape that left the land scarred and desperate for salvation that came as The Eye. A creation of unity among wizards of all races, was the only means to quell the dragon lord’s fury, a being of immense power whose wrath once scorched the skies and shattered the peace of Canazar. Now, millennia have passed, and the whispers of the past beckon Markus to a destiny intertwined with the very essence of The Eye. His quest is more than a mere adventure; it is a race against the encroaching shadows that threaten to engulf the land once more. With each step, Markus delves deeper into the mysteries of The Eye, the history of Canazar, and the intricate tapestry of his own lineage. As darkness stirs and old foes rise, Markus must confront the reality of his fate. Guided by the wisdom of his mentor and fuelled by the bonds of friendship, he faces trials that test the limits of his courage and the depth of his resolve.

    Herbert George Wells (21 September 1866 - 13 August 1946) was an English writer. Prolific in many genres, he wrote dozens of novels, short stories, and works of social commentary, history, satire, biography and autobiography. His work also included two books on recreational war games. Wells is now best remembered for his science fiction novels and is often called the "father of science fiction", along with Jules Verne and the publisher Hugo Gernsback.
    THE VALLEY OF SPIDERS: Towards mid-day the three pursuers came abruptly round a bend in the torrent bed upon the sight of a very broad and spacious valley. The difficult and winding trench of pebbles along which they had tracked the fugitives for so long, expanded to a broad slope, and with a common impulse the three men left the trail, and rode to a little eminence set with olive-dun trees, and there halted, the two others, as became them, a little behind the man with the silver-studded bridle.

    I’ve loved Henry Hensley since I was seven years old. We’ve gone from best friends to lovers to nothing. 
    To most people, he’s the Chicago Falcons starting right winger and hot single dad, but to me, he’s my first boyfriend, my first kiss, my first love. 
    Eight years ago, that all changed when our lives took us in two different directions. Our break-up almost broke me, so I kept my distance until our hometown called me back to where our story began. 
    I promised myself a quick visit to help my family out, and then I’d leave town before he even knew I was back, which should have been easy. He’s way too busy being a professional hockey player and raising his son to ever find out. 
    Of course, I’m only in town for a week before I run into him, and one thing is clear from our brief encounter—Henry wants to hash out our past, whereas I’d rather forget it. 
    But my plan really goes up in flames when I take a temporary substitute teaching job, and on day one, his son walks into my classroom. Boom.

    The only thing worse than
    waking up with the hangover from hell
    is waking up with a hangover in hell
    When literary reprobate Foster James wakes up in a strange country house, he assumes he's been consigned to rehab (yet again). But when he gets punched in the face by Ernest Hemingway, he realises there's something different about this place...
    Is Foster dead? Has his less-than-saintly existence finally caught up with him? After a hostile group therapy session with Hunter S. Thompson, William Burroughs and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, it seems likely. But he still feels alive, especially after he gets laid by Dorothy Parker.
    When he discovers that the two enigmatic doctors who run the institution are being torn apart by a thwarted love affair, he and the other writers must work together to save something bigger than their own gigantic egos.
    Set in a place that's part Priory, part Purgatory, Dead Writers in Rehab is a darkly funny tale about the strange and terrible entanglement of creativity and addiction, told by a charming, selfish bastard.
