Lemon Tarts in Space!

Cameron Fucile

Captain Duncan Arugula is being hunted by a sniffing, snarling, snurgling, pointy-toothed monstrosity. He’s locked in the cockpit of his own spaceship, his crew has gone radio silent since the mutiny, and now the monster — whatever it is, let’s just call it a Problem — is closing in. 
Lemon Tarts in Space! careens through the desperate final days of the space race and crashes into an apocalyptic future, following Captain Arugula on an absurdist cat-and-mouse chase from the deepest tunnels of the moon up to a blistering dogfight across the stars. 
Ridley Scott’s Alien meets Monty Python in this light science fiction dark comedy that has been proudly declared (by the author) to be “the dumbest science fiction cancer comedy ever written”.

🚨 WARNING: This is NOT a book for decisive people. If you know what you want in life and confidently make choices without having a full-blown existential meltdown, please move along.
This book is for overthinkers, procrastinators, and chronically indecisive disasters who would rather launch themselves into the sun than commit to literally anything. If you’ve ever:

✔️ Polled multiple friends about a minor decision, then ignored their advice.
✔️ Stared at a restaurant menu like it was a life-or-death situation.
✔️ Regretted a choice the second you made it.
✔️ Overanalyzed a text message for so long that you never sent it.
Congratulations—you have Decision Paralysis, and this book will make you feel seen.
Inside, you’ll find absolutely zero useful strategies for overcoming indecision, but you will get:
A breakdown of why your brain refuses to let you make choices like a normal person.
An in-depth look at why picking a dinner spot with friends always ends in silent rage.
A highly scientific decision-making flowchart (spoiler: you still won’t pick anything).
A chance to laugh at your own dysfunction instead of actually fixing it.
So, should you buy this book?
🤔 Yes.
🤔 No.
🤔 Maybe.
🤔 Let me think about it first.
(You’ll probably just add it to your cart and stare at it for six weeks, but hey—at least that’s on brand.)

My Melissa--Spanked by Her...

J.C. Cummings

Bruce Morgan is worried. His wife and fellow investment broker Melissa has just texted him--begging him to come up to her office. When he arrives, he finds her surrounded by four of her colleagues--three men and one woman--and they are livid over her recent insistence that they diversify their clients’ portfolios...with cannabis stocks! Now, their clients are angry, management is angry, and their careers are in jeopardy. Livid? Frankly, her colleagues are enraged.

Now, Bruce Morgan is scared.

These people want justice. They want restitution. And, after a brief huddle, they announce that a bare-bottom spanking be administered to Melissa by all of them. Naturally, the three male colleagues want her clothes to come off first.

Now, Bruce Morgan is confused.

With his wife now undergoing the most humiliating experience imaginable, he should feel sorry for her. And he does. It's just that, well, their sex-life has been more or less nonexistent ever since Melissa began obsessing over her work. So, the opportunity to witness this very arousing spectacle is overriding his compassion and making him very aroused, indeed.

And the "thoroughness" of Melissa’s colleagues in "evening the score" quickly brings the spectacle to an almost unimaginable level of humiliation. And titillation.

Now, Bruce Morgan is thrilled.

Guilt-ridden to the hilt, this frustrated hubby is nonetheless becoming so aroused seeing what his wife is being put through that, well, he just can’t resist joining in on the fun!

This is Book #6 in J.C.'s latest series: "My Wife--Submissive at Last"--a collection of titillating tales featuring horny, hard-up, and harried husbands who find themselves in newfound positions of power and dominance over their demanding, controlling, and sexually conservative wives.
