  "Candide, or Optimism" is a satirical novella written by the French philosopher Voltaire, first published in 1759. It follows the adventures of the young Candide, who is raised in a utopian world and taught that “all is for the best.” The narrative takes him through a series of misfortunes, exposing him to the harsh realities of the world, ultimately leading him to question his optimistic beliefs. Voltaire uses Candide’s journey to satirize religion, governments, the military, and the philosophy of optimism, particularly as espoused by Leibniz. "Candide" is considered one of the greatest achievements of Western literature

  No one roots for the Henchmen—the big, dumb, tough, disposable guys who blindly follow the villains . . . but are they all bad? 
  . . . Or are they just poorly trained, mistreated workers with evil bosses? 
    
  Recent college grad, Matt, is an insurance salesman whose life has turned into routine and monotony. 
  All that changes when he finds himself in the middle of a deadly bar fight and, in a split-second, is forced to make a decision: kill or be killed. Matt chooses self-preservation, saving himself, and, unbeknownst to him, the head of cybercriminal organization, DMF Enterprises. 
  Suddenly a murderer and a fugitive, Matt now also finds himself to be the latest target of a notoriously dangerous, rival cyber-criminal. For protection, Matt is offered the chance to join DMF's league of Henchmen. 
  But Matt quickly learns that the modern-day Henchmen are not like the ones in the movies. They drink Starbucks and watch Netflix on the job, and they make fatal mistakes, like accidentally locking the doors of the van mid-kidnapping. 
  If Matt can't survive as a Henchman, he will face the streets and the Outside Threat all on his own. But, if he can unite them, Matt can begin the evolution of Henchman, and better yet, stay alive. Does he have what it takes to triumph, or will he, too, become disposable? 
  Join Matt in the first book in this laugh-out-loud, action-packed Henchman Training Academy series.

  When shy freshman Leah Keller arrives at a pool party hosted by the dean of her college, wearing her first-ever bikini, she’s already flustered to the hilt. After all, the dean and many of her classmates can now see about eighty percent of her toned, nubile body. 
   
  But that’s nothing compared with the degree of humiliation she must endure after suffering a minor injury when diving into the pool. The dean’s son, Noah, is a pre-med student. He’ll know what to do.
   
  Oh, he knows what to do, all right! He knows that, in order to perform a proper examination on this cute, shivering honey, that bikini is going to have to come off—right out on the patio where the light is better (and where everyone is looking on). And he’s going to have to examine her very thoroughly!
   
  How thoroughly?
   
  So thoroughly that Leah is humiliated beyond her wildest nightmares!
   
  So thoroughly that Noah is aroused beyond his wildest dreams!
   
  So thoroughly that, after Leah’s exam from hell, when she is taking a much-needed shower, Noah just might have to make her shower…extra special. Of course, that means he’ll have to help her get “extra clean.”
   
  And that means he’ll have to get “extra dirty”!
   
  Fans of medical humiliation stories featuring cute little college freshmen and the fresh young men who embarrass the living daylights out of them, this one is for you! It will be just the thing to help make your summer extra hot!
   
  Innocence and embarrassment to the hilt!
   
  Greetings, dear readers! Welcome to my newest and naughtiest series: “Innocent College Girls Humiliated”! In this sleazy set, one sweet, naïve young lady after another is taken to the outer limits of embarrassment by unscrupulous males, young and old alike. Men who happen to think that, ahem, red cheeks look kinda lovely on a girl—especially if they themselves have a hand in making them that way!

  Carla Karolac is doing just fine. Having escaped the clutches of her controlling mother and founded a successful writing retreat in which participants are confined to windowless cells until they hit their daily word count, she lives a comfortable, if solitary, existence. If only her therapist, Toonie, would stop going on about Carla's nonexistent love life and start addressing her writer’s block, she might be able to make some progress. But then Carla finds Toonie murdered, and suddenly her unfinished memoir is the least of her concerns. Without quite knowing why, she dials an old phone number. Amy Gallup, retired after decades as a writing instructor, is surprised to hear from her former student Carla out of the blue, three years since they last spoke. She’s even more shocked when she finds out the reason for Carla's call. Suddenly, she finds herself swept up in a murder investigation that soon brings her whole old writing group back together. But they’ll need all the help they can get, as one murder leads to another and suspicions of a serial killer mount across San Diego. Full of Jincy Willett’s trademark dark humor, an unforgettable cast of characters, and two of the most endearingly imperfect protagonists who have ever attempted to solve a murder, Amy Among the Serial Killers shows us what can be gained when we begin to break down our own walls and let others inside…as long as they aren’t murderers.
