FAB REVIEWS FOR FALL INTO LOVE!
For an author, a great review will perk you right up! And waking up, checking your emails and sites and finding a 5 star review, is the best way to start your day!
Here’s a snippet:
Fall Into Love has all the required components for an erotic winner. There’s hot sex. There’s a man who takes care of the woman he’s stolen away from a bar. He’s a gentleman. Even with the hot sex. But Zane has a secret and it is this secret that ends the book on a bombshell for Mona.
Fall Into Love is very well written. The author has a talent for description. We spend the entire book in Mona’s head, but the running dialog she has with herself is real and honest and not over the top.
Thanks for shooting me out into the world with a big smile on my face, P. Eddy! :)

The Curious Disappearance of Professor Brown, or The Pumpkins of Doom.
A Lawrence Pinkley Mystery
By Tim Flanagan with illustrations by Dylan Gibson
Eighteen year old Lawrence Pinkley is Whitby’s greatest Private Detective. In fact, he’s Whitby’s only Private Detective.
Pinkley’s skills are called into play in the first case of a reluctant career.
One night, in a high security laboratory, a scientist mysteriously disappears, leaving behind an overly nervous assistant and a trail of pumpkin juice. Pinkley is hired to investigate the disappearance by the professors beautiful daughter, forcing him to quickly learn the skills he needs to solve his first major crime.
But every move Pinkley makes is being watched.
As he blunders from one clue to the next he stumbles across secret messages, talking pumpkins, the Russian mafia, and hired hitmen. His life now depends on him solving the case. Not to mention the future of mankind!

ABOUT TIM FLANAGAN:
At some point in Tim’s childhood, he was abducted by aliens and sent on a voyage of knowledge and discovery across the universe. Eventually the aliens realised how pointless this was and, as a failed student, he was returned to Earth and left with a family who brought him up as a human Bean. But, the persistent memories of new worlds, dragons and other creatures, continued to knock at his frontal lobe, desperately trying to break out.
To avoid making a mess and calm his imagination, Tim began writing as a way to communicate with Earthlings. Fuelled by Chilli and Nachos and a bottle of wine, Tim manages to balance a love of loud rock music and fast cars (preferably red!) with emotional chick flicks, smart leather shoes and a well tailored suit. He has successfully infiltrated the humans and hides behind the façade known as a family. He learns from his children, but is regularly told to stop acting like a child by his wife.
Naturally shy and unsociable by nature, he is selective of the human company he keeps, preferring to be around old books, bonsai and art. He cries at ‘It’s a wonderful life’ but sulks if fed evil vegetables disguised as Parsnips or Peas. He is bored by mundane conversation, excited by architecture and castles and fuelled by Caramel Latte Macchiato’s.
Occasionally, he likes to catch up with old acquaintances on Tatooine, Westeros, and Middle Earth, and stare at fantasy and concept art as if it is a window to his childhood adventures. He is always trying to learn lessons from the masters; Mr Charles Darwin and Mr Lionel Ritchie, about life and love. Tim’s galactic mission is to translate his brain activity into a language that inspires and entertains you, transports you to different worlds and grants you an audience with the characters you have dreamt about, but never dared to remember. All of this in an attempt to redeem himself with his childhood alien abductors and travel the stars once more.

BLOG IN TIM’S WORDS:
My blog is the best place to get an insight into my mind. There are various posts and videos that have nothing to do with writing, sometimes just things that made me laugh or made me think.

A long night, but Crazy Little Thing Called Lust is now on Smashwords!
Well, last night felt like a waste of many, many hours! But in the end, I managed to get a lot done. Just no writing! It’s amazing how much time I spend not writing but still working on the Naughty Nookie series.
But because of my frustrating Sunday night, Crazy Little Thing Called Lust, part two of Mona’s Naughty Nookie tale is now available on Smashwords. It’s awaiting premium status, so it isn’t available on all the platforms yet. I’ll keep you in the know!
Also, I managed to arrange all four of Mona’s books into the one for a paperback copy! I’m hoping to get it out and released in time for Christmas! :) Woohoo! Will be sharing the cover in a couple of days :)
I’ve been a busy bee, I just hope you enjoy the fruits of my labor! :P

"I’m sure there’s some shit that could shock me."

Marina Denison
A Bitch In Time
Naughty Nookie series
COMING SOON!
Marina has never taken the easy road. Why should she, when she prefers a storm to a perfect summer’s day? But even for her, Marina’s life is in a mess and she knows it.
Too many wrong decisions have put her life in danger and the only way to safety is to embrace the past. But Marina moves forward, steam-rolling ahead rather than focusing on the mistakes she’s made; the mistakes that have brought her to this point.
And while she is happy with her head buried in the sand, Nathan Conroy won’t let her.
He loved her once, could love her again, but for her safety, even if it causes her to hate him, he’ll do anything to protect her from the mess she’s in.
From big city living to a huge ranch in the middle of nowhere, Marina’s safety comes at a price. But to her the physical danger is no less frightening than the peril to her heart.
Can she rewind ten years to right the wrongs she once made? And even though the future depends on it, can she unbend enough to do just that?

Review: Lord Trowbridge’s Angel by G.G Vandagriff
THREE STARS
I liked the idea of this story; I’m a closet Regency romance reader and this had all the makings of a good read. I wasn’t disappointed, but the story was slightly predictable. There were a few moments, when I shook my head as I was reading or blatantly cried out, ‘Noooooooo!’ And not in a good way, either.
While we learnt about the characters, I didn’t connect with them. But at the same time, I did like them. I enjoyed the added extras about Sophie’s abilities on the violin as well as the Home/School for girl orphans. I loved her descriptions, G.G really did describe the dresses and the scenes so I felt I was there.
I did enjoy the book and would I recommend it to other people? The 20,000 dollar question?
Yes. I would.
I liked it and would read another book by this author. You can’t ask for more.

I feel like this sometimes. I often wonder if people from my past would even recognize me. I just hope I’ve changed for the better.
