The Big O Series
M.S. Parker - 2019
Most of us have done it. Maybe at a job interview, on a date, or maybe even faking it in the bedroom. I’m guilty for sure. In fact, I’ve never had an orgasm in my life. When the editor of the biggest women’s magazine ask journalist, Michelle Nestor to write an article called “How to Have Fantastic Multiple Orgasms”, she fakes it again and pretends to be an expert. Getting the assignment on the spot, she never expected that the research would consist of a steamy encounter with The King of Multiple Orgasms, the irresistible Jake King. Big O's: A kiss from a stranger at midnight on New Year’s Eve doesn’t mean anything, does it? Then why can’t I stop thinking about him? Maybe because he’s the most gorgeous man I’ve ever kissed – but even if I see him again, it can never become anything more than a fantasy. You see, I’m broken, and no one can fix me. Pleasure Island: After serving four years in the Army, I’m back home in Texas, but it hasn’t taken me long to see that I don’t belong here anymore. Luckily, I heard that my cousin, Jake King, is now living in New York City, so I’ll join him there, hoping to put the past behind me. And, unlike most other twenty-two-year-old guys, the one thing I’m NOT looking for is romance. In fact, I’m planning on being celibate for the foreseeable future. Don't miss the Big O Series, three full novels in one collection at a special introductory price for a limited time.

John Lamerton - 2017
HERE’S HOW Are you struggling to find marketing ideas for your small business? Does your business plan consist of a few scribbles on the back of a napkin? Does the thought of learning “online marketing” scare you? Do you find traditional business books dull, or uninspiring? Have you read business biographies of the poster boys (Richard Branson, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Alan Sugar, Elon Musk, Steve Jobs etc), only to feel a sense of overwhelm, and a complete disconnect between what they achieved, and where you are right now? Do you want to grow your small business, without having to learn complex marketing strategies, and without being told to simply “work harder than everyone else”? If so, then “Big Ideas... for Small Businesses” could be the “lightbulb moment” you’ve been waiting for... Former civil servant John Lamerton has run more than 60 small businesses since 2000, making millions of pounds, and thousands of mistakes along the way. This book is a collection of the lessons and successes that he uses to coach and mentor hundreds of small business owners, teaching them to think bigger, work less, and design their business around the lifestyle they want.

Dark Knights: The Dark Humor of Police Officers
Robert L. Bryan - 2017
The profession requires cops to see people at their worst. They see death, tragedy, crime, and despair on a daily basis. The very nature of the tasks cops perform and the things cops see skews their sense of humor. Sometimes, a sense of humor is the only defense mechanism in a police officer's tool box. Stripped of the ability to laugh, or forced to be politically correct in a politically incorrect work environment can be hazardous to one's health. Coping becomes an essential component of a police officer's arsenal. One of the primary coping mechanisms utilized by cops is humor. A cop can find something funny about almost anything, regardless of how tragic the circumstances. Dark humor involves making light of a serious, disturbing or taboo subject matter. It is sometimes viewed as morbid, cruel, offensive, and graphic in nature and is yet, still found funny. This is the story of the author's twenty-year police career with the New York City Transit Police and NYPD as he worked with some of New York City's darkest knights - those cops who did and said the funniest things under the most difficult circumstances.

The other mercenaries she shares her ship with, all of them aliens, all of them women, have their own similar situations. In a fit of frustration, she decides to deal with this problem by hiring on a cute young human who she figures won't mind being passed around like a sex toy by the crew... Ryan is twenty years old and afraid that he's settled into the rest of his life already. He's prudent, responsible, has a good job and no debts. Although he isn't adventurous by nature, in a fit of spontaneity he decides to sign on with a crew of mercenaries, as he figures his skills as a technician would be useful to those who live on a space ship, and it's a way to see the galaxy. And apparently luck was on his side in a way it never has been before: he signed on with Emily and the Hellcats, a group of attractive, tough, mostly alien mercenaries who, he quickly learns, are interested in more than just his technical skill, and plan on having him perform maintenance on them rather than the ship...

The Dulwich Horror and Others
David Hambling - 2013
P. Lovecraft, this stylish new collection of adventure stories fizzes with wit and invention. They can be enjoyed separately, but read them in one sitting and the pieces fit horribly together into a larger and more terrible nightmare. †These tales constitute David Hambling’s initial foray into the realm of Lovecraftian fiction. The fertility of imagination, the crisp character delineations, and the smooth-flowing prose that we find in these seven tales leave us wishing for more of the same, and Hambling will no doubt oblige in the coming years. For now, we can sit back and relish a brace of stories that not only evoke the shade of the dreamer from Providence, but which that dreamer himself would have enjoyed to the full. —S. T. Joshi(from his foreword)
