The Daughterhood
Natasha Fennell - 2015
Sitting outside the hospital after visiting one day, Natasha wondered how she would cope when her mother was gone. There started a panic and self-scrutiny. Had she been a good enough daughter? Would she have enough time to do all the things she wanted to do with her mother before she died? Natasha knew that she couldn't be the only one feeling this way. She began her research and quickly learned that other daughters had similar fears and had never spoken about them before. Love for their mothers, regret for opportunities missed, resentments and emotional complexities all bubbled to the surface. Through these conversations, a friendship blossomed with Róisín Ingle, popular columnist at the Irish Times. After a call out in Róisín's column, hundreds of responses poured in and there The Daughterhood was formed. The Daughterhood is the funny, poignant, and occasionally heart-breaking story of nine daughters coming together to talk about their mothers and the joy and despair that this relationship brings. Over a period of months they commit to completing various tasks all in the hope of improving their relationship with the most important woman in their lives - before she dies.
The Gentleman Incubus: A LitRPG Harem Series
E.M. Hardy - 2019
Next thing he knows, he’s starting to feel a weird hunger that won’t let him be no matter how much he eats. As it turns out, he was assaulted by a Lust Demon while he lay there unconscious, and was himself changed into one when his digital assistant quarantined the threat to save him and disrupted its spell. As a result of the interaction between the sandboxed succubus and the game he was playing at the moment, Glenn now has access to a character sheet full with life points, stats and a long list detailing all his new abilities. All in all, it wouldn’t be that bad if he didn’t learn that those life points are directly tied to his sexual satiation, and should those points reach zero, he would die. Now a Fledgling Incubus, Glenn will have to obey the same rules as other Lust Demons to survive—that is to locate new preys and bed them at all costs. There’s a small problem though. Contrary to regular demons, Glenn isn’t about to just jump on unsuspecting women during their sleep and ravage them until death ensues. And thus, he probably won’t be able to draw enough life points, as killing their victims is the main way for his kind to satiate their hunger. His back against the wall, Glenn will have to explore alternative ways to earn his points and stay alive, and ultimately gain enough experience to level up and add new skills to his repertoire. But first things first, he needs to find women to test his new skills on and experiment. Join Glenn as he builds a harem of willing ladies and discovers that the key to his survival is to concentrate on their pleasure and bring them to orgasm after orgasm... Warning: this book includes harem elements, adult situations, game mechanics and explicit language. Read at your own peril.

Now it’s just in my head but if I ask and he doesn’t deny, it will become a reality.” – Preeti Singh.“My boyfriend doesn’t want to acknowledge me even as his friend in front of his family, let alone the fact that we’re lovers. It’s like I’m his dirty little secret.” – Siya Grewal.So the three friends come to a unanimous conclusion. Men suck. And like the characters in a sci-fi flick, perfect men are fictitious.

Response to that post is unexpected in more ways than one. A Man to Die for creates a sensation with countless likes, retweets and forwards. And when the identities of the post-makers are revealed, the three friends are left to face the judging looks and snide comments.

Someone has taken the post as a personal insult and was out for retribution by killing their friend and vowing to kill them too. Now, with the help of a DCP, who, according to Shikha was a dubious combination of a jerk and a hero, the killer must be caught. As the police race to unravel the identity, the killer strikes again...

Kabe, author of Everything is Normal“Rafaa Dalvi is a flash fiction expert.”-T.F. Carthick, author of Carthick’s Unfairy Tales and More Unfairy Tales“Taut, propulsive and riveting, Rafaa’s mesmerising stories pack a big punch.

Marley Jacobs, his self-styled PA, is determined to make him see the error of his ways, and return the festive spirit to Carroll's Confectionary. Unfortunately, the little matter of their previous relationship, along with Kit's callous treatment of her when they were teenage sweethearts, keeps getting in the way of her good intentions. With encouragement from co-worker Don, romantic sister Olivia, and — astonishingly — the usually sceptical Great Uncle Charles, Marley decides to save this modern-day Mr Scrooge from himself, despite having no well-meaning ghosts to help her.
