Miss Ollie: Tennessee Madam

By Leave a Comment

About Miss Ollie: Tennessee Madam:

Based on the real Tennessee madam! Prostitute Ollie Pope has been through the wringer-surviving the poorhouse, the jailhouse, and the workhouse, not to mention giving up her beloved illegitimate child. Wounded and hardened, she wants money and the social acceptance she thinks it will bring. And for a time it does. With the help of cotton broker and former lover “Toodles” Woodall, bootlegging provides short-term success; yet the end of Prohibition leaves her little choice but to return to what she knows. Ollie’s clean and stylish brothel becomes a legendary mecca for servicemen from nearby training bases during WWII, as well as a secret refuge for the rich and influential in town. But other groups are clamoring for it to be shut down. After so many years of struggle, will her worst fear come true: a return to poverty and shame?

A novel set amidst the tumult that shook the foundations of staid Southern society in the first half of the twentieth century, Miss Ollie’s story is one of corruption, racism, hypocrisy, and the appearance of kindness in the most unexpected places.

Bonus Features: Facts about the real Miss Ollie; song and lyrics to “Miss Ollie’s Hothouse”; photos; and recipes from her story!

They must cross the Atlantic aboard the world’s only remaining supercarrier, insert by air into the very middle of a dead continent, and then fight their way on foot through a city of 3 million ravening dead guys. But these Zulus will not be like any zombies they have ever fought before…

About Solitude’s End – Book 1 of ‘Echo’s Way’:

What would you do if you suddenly found yourself alone, the only human remaining on an alien occupied planet. Could you cope? Would you survive? How would you deal with the loneliness, and the knowledge that you were the only human being within forty light years.

When the small communities of Corros, a remote human colony world, come under attack from the Tolleani, an alien species with whom humanity is at war, Echo, a young woman finds herself the sole survivor.
​
For three years she survives alone, wondering why nobody has come to rescue her. Then, the aliens return to set up a research base at the community which had once been her home. For another year, she hides alone in the nearby mountains, until the first human ship arrives, to be promptly captured by the aliens.
​
When Ben, a member of the captured crew, escapes, he stumbles upon Echo’s hideaway. She needs his help to escape, but soon learns that he has an agenda of his own, and needs her help to achieve it.

About Stiger: Tales of the Seventh by Marc Edelheit

The long awaited prequel to the Award Winning Chronicles of an Imperial Legionary Officer series that started with the bestselling military fantasy book Stiger’s Tigers.

A nobleman from an infamous family, Ben Stiger finds himself freshly assigned to Third Legion, Seventh Company as a lowly lieutenant in the opening stages of war between the Empire and the Kingdom of the Rivan. Third Legion has been tasked with pursuing a retreating Rivan army back to the border where the Empire can take the fight into enemy territory. However, a major obstacle stands in Third Legion’s path: the river Hana. The crossing is sure to be contested and dangerous. Should Third Legion fail to force a crossing, the entire campaign could grind to a disastrous halt.

This is Stiger’s first military appointment. Inexperienced, young and unsure of himself, Stiger is ostracized by his fellow lieutenants. Worse, he’s been placed under the command of an incompetent officer. With life and reputation on the line, he must learn to understand men far beneath his station and lead them into battle. Stiger struggles not only against the enemy, but against his family’s history and his own side to prove himself worthy of serving the empire he loves and earning the respect of the men he leads.

Set amidst the backdrop of an epic war, there are greater forces at work than the young Stiger can even begin to imagine, setting him on the dangerous and lonely path of destiny.

Dead Dreams by Brian W. Peterson

About Dead Dreams by Brian W. Peterson

When Donald moved back in with his parents, the dreams began. Each dream was different, but they always ended the same way.

Murdered, by his family.

He met a beautiful brunette who was sweet, charming, and smart. Being with her helped put him at ease and made him forget his troubles… but there was something about her that disturbed him.

The dreams intensified until they began to blur with reality. His psychologist said the murderous dreams were caused by deeply repressed childhood memories; something horrific had happened in Donald’s past, and the psychologist was determined to help Donald remember.

He could not recall certain events from his past, but he feared—he knew—his dreams were telling him that his family was about to murder him.

He had to stop the dreams—or stop his family.

Dead Dreams will be discounted on Amazon (eBook) to $1.99 for the month of October.

The Untethered

By Leave a Comment

About The Untethered:

“[W]hen the price of peace with others is the surrender of one’s highest values, conflict becomes one’s greatest asset.” The conflicts in Southwick’s dystopia are disturbingly familiar, with elements that echo today’s headlines.

In a world where most people are increasingly constrained to toe the line and give at least lip-service to the dual social concepts of Unity and Sacrifice, anyone who does not conform must self-identify as criminal, or become actively anti-social. Society regards either as negative, of course, and so the real choice is self-abnegation—accepting the values imposed by society—or isolation from it.

Young Roble Santos is anti-social, labeled delinquent, then abandoned to the foster system. Unlike his friend Danny Sands, the son of his last foster parents, however, Roble is never conflicted about what he wants. Given the choice between pursuing his dream of creating the ultimate jet plane or conforming, Roble rejects society’s expectations and runs away. In his last interview with the Alexa Patra, the driven head of a private charity that places Nevada children in foster “care,” he tells Patra: “I don’t need to hear how scary the world is and how I shouldn’t try anything. I don’t need to know how much suffering there is out there,” he pointed out the window, “or how bad I should feel about it. What I need…” he looked up, his grey eyes pleading, “…is to see someone who is still happy after growing up.” –Dr. Pat

About The Seeds of Winter by A.W. Cross:

When I woke up, five years had passed.

The war over our creation is over. The planet is devastated and the modern world destroyed along with most of the human race. My only connection to the world I once knew is Tor, a stranger who protected me as I slept.

A cyborg. Like me.

Others of our kind are out there. I can see what they see, and it’s terrifying. To save them we must navigate a hostile landscape and confront those who oppose our very existence, including one of our own. As we begin to doubt the true nature of our design, Tor and I can trust no one. Not even each other, despite the passion that binds us together.

Even if we succeed this time, I know our battle isn’t over. Something is coming: a future only we can control. The mysterious signal that compels us all may be the key – if we can survive long enough to find out what it is.

Humankind fought a war to annihilate us. Now their future depends on our survival.

We are the seed.

The Seeds of Winter is fast-paced, character-driven post-apocalyptic science fiction featuring a strong female lead and mature themes.
