Summary

The ghost of a soldier turned writer joins a quest to save a human life.The ghost of Ambrose Bierce, American writer and civil war Union soldier, has been displaced from the home he had been haunting.Enlisting the aid of a "haunting agent," he finds a new residence that has the requisite dark history and terrible secret that makes it appropriate for haunting. Here he meets new spirits who reside in this version of the afterlife, a middle place between life and the ultimate destination.Against his intentions, Bierce becomes caught up in the unsolved mystery of his new haunt. In partnership with an old friend, a Buddhist priest named "Sid" who has inhabited the spirit world for 25 centuries, he reluctantly involves himself in the matters of still living people. Bierce and his friend also become aware of the presence of mysterious "others" who are spirits who never held human form.Bierce, Sid, and other new spirit friends ultimately find themselves as part of a quest to save a human life, rescue another spirit from oblivion, and discover the identity of the "others."

    Boy, is Tom Andrews angry! Here he is, trying to enjoy his fortieth birthday party at his mom’s and dad’s house, and his wife Debbie is being her typical overbearing, domineering, controlling self. Sure, he’s used to her and her bossy ways. But of all days for Debbie to be nagging him and criticizing him! And in front of all their guests, too!
     
    But if he thinks he’s mad, just wait until Debbie goes a bit too far with her nagging. Now, his dad is even angrier at her for not only ruining his son’s birthday but also for causing him a whole lot of frustration over the years by never allowing him to really enjoy himself when they’re having sex. First, she’s too controlling. Second, thanks to her extreme modesty, she never lets him enjoy her body to the extent that he would like.
     
    Yes, Tom’s dad sure is mad. And that’s not a good thing because, first, he has a vicious temper, and, second, as headmaster of a backwoods boarding school, he had a history of getting misbehaving young women over his knee for some good old corporal punishment.
     
    So, to the shock of everyone present, he decides that he’s had just about enough of Debbie’s domineering behavior. Right then and there, he administers a thorough, bare-bottom spanking to her—right out in the middle of the living room and in front of all their guests!
     
    Well, Tom is sure having a happy birthday now! He’s never before had quite as much of an eyeful of his wife's delicious curves—nor has he ever seen how cute she is when she’s controlled, submissive, vulnerable, and dominated. This is just fantastic!
     
    Even better, his dad then orders Debbie and Tom to go upstairs to the guestroom so that, for the first time ever, Tom can be the boss and make his birthday truly spectacular by enjoying his wife in any way he chooses!
     
    How far will he go?
     
    Even better: How far will Debbie go now that he's made an "impression" on her? Click “Buy Now” right now and find out!

    All's fair in love and lore. 
      
    Joonie is living in a fantasy—at least that's what people keep telling her. 
      
    A copywriter by day and fanfic auteur by night, Joonie continues to date and dump disappointing men in search of a happily ever after. But every potential suitor seems to have one flaw in common: They can't hold a candle to her book boyfriend, Ryke. The protagonist of her favorite fantasy romance series (and, notably, a sexy merman), Ryke is a symbol for the life Joonie craves and the kind of relationship she deserves. So with a book always in her back pocket, why would she ever settle for less? 
      
    But when Joonie learns that Ryke's character is based on someone the author knows in real life, she embarks on an epic quest to track him down, meet him in person, and determine once and for all if soulmates really do exist. Unfortunately, her brother's annoying best friend who doesn't believe in love or happy endings insists on hitching a ride. And like any great hero's journey, it doesn't take long for the trials and tribulations to begin.  
      
    As Joonie fights her way toward her love interest, using the skills she acquired through reading, she'll learn an important lesson: You can pursue a fantasy, but you can't always write your own plot. 
      
    As unhinged as it is brilliant, Female Fantasy is both a self-aware dive into the concept of genre and a wild, steamy romp. Most of all, though, it's a heartfelt love letter to romance readers everywhere.

    In Due Time begins outside a Philadelphia courthouse when Ryan Coleman is kidnapped and delivered to a luxury yacht off the coast of Florida, where his billionaire mentor, Randy Hollis, has decided that Ryan will become his one and only heir to his legacy and fortune. Ryan thinks he has been framed him for the death of Lisa O, the world’s number one escort, despite his plan to save Hollis and himself from being disbarred and going to prison. This turn of events sends Coleman into a frenzy as he navigates his sudden rise to power while discovering that his best friend and wife are shacking up together. When tragedy strikes, Coleman is suddenly left to his own devices and must choose his path forward. Will he take the advice of his mother and a newly rekindled love story, or turn to the dark side as he witnessed with several masters of the universe in his orbit? While Ryan Coleman was once thought by everyone to be naïve and in over his head, easy to manipulate and even frame, in Book Two he becomes the rainmaker, at least until the end, when he ends up right back where he started.
