Brenda Mohammed (brenchris) | 75 comments I just released two books. They are two books relating to my autobiography. The first one is " My Life as a Banker: A life worth living." The book covers my life up until my retirement from my first job.
My Life as a Banker A Life worth Living by Brenda Mohammed
Here is what the writer of the foreword said about the book. " This is the true story of her life as a child, a teenager, a young adult, a wife, a mother and a career woman. Her achievements as both a mother and a career woman are remarkable.
This book is an encouragement and example to all women. It shows in no uncertain terms what the power of God can do in someone's life. By reading this book we will learn something to enhance our own lives."

The second book is a continuation of the author's life, "Retirement is fun."
Here is what the writer of the foreword had to say about the book.
"When you read this book, “Retirement is Fun” written by Mrs. Brenda Mohammed you will realize that no matter how you may think of your retirement, when you do retire, it can be a season of great joy and happiness. You will begin to realize too, that when one door closes another even more beautiful door opens for you.
You are truly able to see the beauty of life, and enjoy the beauty of time-time to spend with your children, grandchildren, siblings and to explore new horizons just like the author did. She was able to face many of life’s challenges too when they did occur because of the beauty of the unlimited time and unconditional love of her family.
Read this book and see the wonders of retirement experienced first-hand by the author who at first was devastated by her sudden retirement in her still youthful days. She learnt through her many experiences that retirement is a time to enjoy life.
The author has surely proved that when she retired from her first job she definitely did not retire from life."

Laurel Heidtman (kylaurel) | 32 comments Catch A Falling Star (An Eden Mystery) by Laurel Heidtman Catch A Falling Star (An Eden Mystery)

Missing treasure, criminals, cops, co-worker hostility, and the surprise appearance of an ex-lover — definitely not what mystery novelist Kate Rawlings expects when she accepts a summer teaching position at her alma mater in the peaceful college town of Eden, Kentucky.

Michael Mabry was Kate’s lover in college, but did she ever really know him? Thirty years later, he’s on the run from his partners in a Chicago museum heist in which a valuable ancient Indian artifact called the Shooting Star was stolen and two people killed. Michael escaped with the Star and his life, but he needs money to get out of the country. After so long, Eden should be the last place anyone would think to look for him, but his partners and an insurance investigator with his own agenda are hot on his trail. Kate finds herself suspected of involvement in the heist, but when a murder occurs in Eden, she also finds herself suspected of murder.

Blurb

Stranded and searching for a phone, Flick inadvertently walks into danger, and finds herself living in a nightmare. But an unexpected reprieve comes in the form of a stranger, a looming silhouette more terrifying than the evil that captured her. From him she learns that danger has an alias, Rushe. He is abrupt, crude, domineering...and her only hope for survival.
With freedom a distant memory, Flick is reluctantly drawn into the criminal plot. As she descends further, her entanglement with Rushe becomes deeper. The adventure she started by accident threatens them; but Flick knows it’s not only her life she is battling for, it’s her heart as well.

Jamie Cirillo (jamiecirillo) | 8 comments My book is available for to download for FREE until Thursday. Check it out and share your thoughts. Here's an excerpt:

“Always ready for battle these days,” he said.

Squeezing my eyes tightly once I said, “It would seem I have no choice in the matter.”

“We always have choices, love,” he said.

“Really? And my choice now is what exactly? The only way to avoid this test, is to turn away from you, right?” I faced him squarely.
Sadness crossed over his face at my words and I regretted asking.

“So then you see there’s actually no choice here. I could never walk away from you. I can do anything but that,” I nuzzled myself against him once more. Satisfied by my little tyrant of an answer.

“You know it’s very attractive when you show your jubilant side,” he kissed the top of my head.

“How long does it last? How often?” I asked nervously. They were questions that I didn’t want the answers to because to tell the truth I was downright scared. And as I was slowly learning the only way to deal with the daunting issues in my life was to first accept them and the fact that I couldn’t change them, and then face them head on.

“We don’t know,” he began brushing my hair to the side while he spoke. “For some, it’s only once. For others,” he looked me straight in the eyes, “Its their whole lives.”

I tried to let that sink in and process it. Could I go through that pain for seemingly the rest of my life? If it meant being with Cam whenever it was over, then I could. I would. He was wrong. There were no options here.

Lynette White (lynettewhite) | 18 comments Now available on Amazon and Smashwords. The Enemy Within-Book one of the Destiny Series.

When the villages around the twin cities fall victim to raids, Salaria Second Commander Shadoe Van Ives makes it his personal quest to bring them to an end. What he discovers is a conspiracy that could not only destroy the villages, but the Twin Cities themselves. Facing enemies at every turn Shadoe must find someone to trust before time runs out for not only the citizens but himself.

http://www.amazon.com/Enemy-Within-Bo...

https://www.smashwords.com/books/view...

Here is a taste of what you are missing.

“It is not easy to fight a war, Hammer, when you have no idea who your enemies are. The people I thought I could trust will most likely betray me. The people who by all manner of logic should be the people I fear, are the only people I can trust,” Shadoe groaned whipping about. “It makes it a little hard now days to figure out who will have a dagger at my throat next. The man I am facing in battle, an assassin, or one of my own damn officers! I have no idea anymore where the damn battle lines even are, much less which side I stand on. Shorty warned me a week ago that there might be a price on my head again, but he still has not been able to get any more details,” Shadoe ranted, hesitating and looking toward the door. The worry and fear flitted across his face.

“It has gotten so bad I had no choice but send Red Ace a message telling him I want the ten best men the faction has to move up here and guard the estate. They should be arriving in a few days and I still have not figured out how I am going to explain them to the staff. How do I tell them I cannot trust my own soldiers to keep them safe? Not to mention the men who I am trusting to guard them would terrify them to death, if they knew who they really were.”

Hi.
My debut erotic romance novel, Beguiled: The Frost Trilogy # 1 is now available at Amazon, Smashwords, Barnes & Nobel et al.

Blurb:

Mia James' first solo event is going live and she's nervous – the fund-raising dinner for The Project’s new rehab centre is a major do. The evening is going well and she’s beginning to relax; if only she could shake off the inexplicable feeling she’s being watched…

Still putting her broken heart back together, the last thing Mia’s looking for is a man; that is until she’s introduced to one of the charity’s wealthy patrons.

Beguiled by his masculine beauty; captivated by a pair of eyes of the deepest blue, Mia knows she’s in trouble…

Something shifts in him, momentarily revealing the depths of his true nature concealed beneath the civilised urbanity of his suit. Something untamed, carnal, animal. And all I can think about is sex: sweat-ridden, mind-altering, body-weakening sex. With him.

Nick Frost is a man with a past; a past he’s trying hard not to go back to. From the moment he meets Mia he knows she holds the key to his salvation and he’s determined to claim her. Now all he has to do is convince Mia to let him...

Intact (Cyborg, #2) by Charity Parkerson
(Science Fiction, love story, apocalyptic, alpha males, strong females, Cyborgs, futuristic, F/M & M/M, sexy romance)


A world on edge...
The “Cyborg” team has kept one eye glued to the unrest inside the A.I. community for some time. Each member understands the ramifications of a revolt. If war is declared, they could find themselves on the opposite side of the law. One tiny detail changes Miles’ stance. Solving the case he’s worked since meeting Alexia could be the deciding factor. Left with no other choice, Miles orders his second in command to move to plan ‘B’—Dr. Kiston Beck.
A woman caught in the middle...
Kiston has stood with the Androids since her teenage years. Her inside knowledge of Cryo-Zone—an all-droid community—could mean the difference between a war lost or won. Convincing her to go against all she believes to be right is another matter.
Kiston has no idea what the Cybernetics Agency thinks she possesses. There hasn’t been a human alive who cared to hear her opinion in years. The one detail she’s absolutely sure about is that they sent the wrong team member if they hoped to seduce the information from her.
Cyborg Two is every woman’s dream. His wide shoulders, alpha ways and smoldering glances leave her breathless. Unfortunately, his biggest flaw is one too many for Kiston. He believes she’s crazy.
But is it too late?
After a botched kidnapping, a concussion and near-death experience, can Miles and his team still convince Kiston to join them, or will their brand of friendship end up destroying the world?

Mustafa Oktem | 15 comments My novel, The Lion of Kabul, is free today (Sunday, July 13th) at Amazon (would love some reviews):

http://www.amazon.com/The-Lion-Kabul-...


“There are things in life I've learned I cannot change: I am an orphan. I grew up in poverty, poverty of the most wretched kind. I shall never forget the fear, the deprivation, the sense of hopelessness. At a young age, I witnessed the horrors of this world; etched in my memory are gruesome, macabre images, images that I cannot erase. For as long as I live, they will always be there—that I know.” These are the words of Ali Iqbal, orphaned at age five, forced to flee his homeland at age nine, abandoned by his foster parents at age eleven. Now happily married and living in America, one night he receives a phone call that throws his world into utter disarray. He must go back to the place of his childhood, to rescue his friend Ahmet—a friend he owes his life to.

The hero of this novel, Ali Iqbal, is scarred by the traumatic events of his past and his heart is full of hate. But he is special: with an intelligence second to none, a talent (painting) that helps him cope with his sorrow and anger, and an ironclad heart that gives him the strength to endure and persevere, he travels from Afghanistan to Turkey and then to America. During his life's journey, he meets some amazing people, bonds with them over the simple pleasures of life, laughs with them, discovers happiness and joy in the comforting warmth of their presence. His final act of devotion and loyalty to his friend Ahmet, and the events that follow, force him to reflect on his own life and the many weeks of silent reflection bring to light something very important (that only now he is beginning to understand and accept): that as callous and cruel as the world may be, it is full of wonderful people.

This novel is the story of Ali's transformation. It carries with it a very important message that will resonate meaningfully given the times that we live in: that the Eastern world and Western world can co-exist peacefully; that the cultural, historical and political barriers that separate us are not insurmountable, because it is the humanity within us that makes us who we are.

RING OF TRUTH by #Ciji Ware, #Diana Dempsey, #Kate Moore

Ever wondered what would happen if a magical ring fell into a woman’s hands—along with the urgent instruction that she learn its lesson in seven days or forever lose its wisdom?

Who will take up the ring’s challenge? Who will pass it by, even if her heart’s deepest desire hangs in the balance?

The iconic Claddagh ring—the timeless Irish symbol of love, friendship, and fidelity--was worn not only by Jackie Kennedy and Princess Grace, but by scores of citizens and firefighters who fought their last battle in New York’s Twin Towers on 9/11.

THE RING OF KERRY HANNIGAN by Ciji Ware

On the eve of a move from New York to San Francisco, classically trained chef and respected food blogger Kerry Hannigan’s world turns upside down the instant she puts on an Irish Claddagh ring rescued from the rubble of 9/11. A gift from her godmother, the emerald gemstone reputedly offers life-changing guidance and counsel—but only for seven days, and only to those who listen.

A DIVA WEARS THE RING by Diana Dempsey

Veronica Ballard, adopted from Russia at birth, sings opera and longs to understand where she comes from. One fateful day, she receives both a life-changing letter and the Ring of Truth, and embarks on a journey to answer her heart’s deepest questions. Little does she know her quest will lead to love.

ONCE UPON A RING by Kate Moore

Boutique hotel concierge Tara Keegan finds the perfect way to deal with the woes of modern dating—invent a boyfriend. As long as Tara clings to her Mr. Wright, she can’t take the first real step toward happiness—opening her heart. It takes the Ring of Truth on Tara’s finger to discover that she wants more than fiction. Now her heart prompts her to risk all and tell the humiliating truth to a man who’s suddenly very present in her life.

When she thought her life was at the peak of all happiness (blessed with a healthy child, married to a man who loved and adored her and more importantly to be alive to experience it all) memories of her past continue to haunt her daily living and intensifies her need to understand her past to have a future.

The Truth of It All, book three and final installment in the Forever Beth Series finally exposes who is really behind Beth’s abduction and attempted murder, the murders of Rosie and Rosa Morales and who is ultimately responsible for the tragedies Beth has endured. But most importantly the question readers have had since Lost and found (1st installment in the Forever Beth Series) regarding Kevin's instant eagerness to protect and watch over Beth from that first encounter at the Morales's murder scene is finally revealed.

The conclusion to a three part romance - mystery filled page turner that keeps you guessing to the very end. Forever a Beth The Truth Of it All (Just Released)

Amy Casil (asterling) | 17 comments Shakespeare in Hell by Amy Sterling Casil

http://www.amazon.com/Shakespeare-Hel...

Can Will Shakespeare, the most human of the great writers, dream himself out of Hell, where he has been for generations? The Lord of the Flies, Beelzebub promises the great writers in Hell a "Get Out of Hell Free" card if only they write a great play, but the one he really wants is Shakespeare, who will not write. And it is not the words to save Will Shakespeare, nor Oscar Wilde, nor Edgar Allan Poe, nor the Dark Lady of the Sonnets ... not even the biggest "yes" man ever known, Nixon's Bob Haldeman. It is their dreams and their courage. Dream you other wise, Will Shakespeare. Dream yourself out of Hell.

From the author: Let me tell you a story. It is a tale, told by a woman, full of hope and terror, signifying love.

Feral Sephrian | 15 comments My latest isn't quite new anymore, since it came out last month, but I just joined this group so it's new for you!

Change for the Better by Feral Sephrian
Contemporary Trans* Romance

Flynn is a tried-and-true heterosexual, although he has yet to find anyone who catches his interest like Tanya. When they first met at a Tabletop RPG session, he immediately knew he wanted to get to know her better. However, when he does so, he finds out she's not a 'she,' or at least won't be for long. Tanya is about to start hormone therapy to become Tony. For a while, Flynn is able to look past this technicality and the two spark a deep and passionate relationship. Then things start getting out of Flynn's comfort zone, but with Tony recovering from yet another difficult surgery, he doesn't know if he has the heart to make his doubts known.
