When an angel accidentally falls to Earth — quite literally — Victorian England isn’t ready for him. In The Wonderful Visit, H. G. Wells blends gentle comedy, quiet wonder, and sharp social insight in this whimsical tale of the extraordinary disrupting the everyday. When a vicar mistakes a celestial visitor for a rare bird and wounds him, he soon discovers the “strange bird” is, in fact, an angel — bewildered, radiant, and suddenly subject to the odd rules of human life. As the vicar tends to his unexpected guest, the angel must confront earthly aches, polite society, manners, gossip, and the peculiar limitations of mortals. What follows is a heart-touching and humorous exploration of innocence, belief, and the fragile barrier between the divine and the ordinary. With charm and subtle satire, Wells invites us to consider how humanity might greet the miraculous — with curiosity, confusion, and perhaps a touch of grace. A tender, thoughtful fantasy told with wit and warmth.Zum Buch

After a frat party hookup devolves into a bloody, fatal affair, Tiffany realizes something within her has awoken: the insatiable desire to kill attractive young men.

A female-driven, modern-day American Psycho, Kill for Love exposes modern toxic plasticity with dark comedy and propulsive plot.Zum Buch
The year is 1969. The place--somewhere in the Pacific. Following a wild and sexy mishap aboard the Trump family yacht, 23-year-old Donald finds himself on a tropical island which just happens to be inhabited by seven stranded castaways! Among those castaways are two of the most lusted-after lovelies this side of Pago Pago—gorgeous movie star Gina LaPlante and farm girl extraordinaire Mary Lynn Saunders. Well, our future President is sure in a quandary! As much as he wants off the island to return to his life of wealth, a three-way roll in the palm fronds with buxom Gina and sweetly innocent Mary Lynn (who just happens to have, as Donald deems it, the World's Most Beautiful Ass) is even more compelling! This tall tale has it all: comedy, adventure, romance, tropical allure, a touch of drama, mind-blowing titillation, and, of course, the Donald J. Trump brand of bawdy sexual comings and goings. Whether you are a fan of 60s television parodies or present day political satire, travel to a place where the TV cameras of yesteryear, or any year, were never allowed to go! JC Cummings is a happy, hard-working and fun-loving author of adult fiction living the seaside cottage lifestyle in beautiful, sun-drenched North Carolina.Zum Buch
