Danger in the Rain: A Ted Danger Mystery by Douglas Boatman

April 16 through 20, 2021, just .99

Nicki Vavul brought the rain, but Ted Danger didn’t care. She was the perfect client. Chic as hell, loaded with cash, and desperate for a private eye. Not to mention a little bit crazy.

Find the perv in the snapshot, she says. This goon, right here, preening on the beach with her pre-teen daughter. Both of them grinning like lunatics. And naked as slugs.

The red-eye to Pompano thrusts Ted into a weird sub-tropical odyssey of conspiracy and lost innocence, testing his will and warping his mind, as he battles foes both sinister and ridiculous.

With the timely help of a badass bonobo named Boyce, Ted will uncover mysteries of time and nature, and secrets from decades past. Before his journey ends, he’ll learn a shocking truth about himself that will change his life forever.

A Writer’s Guide to Veterinary Hospitals

About A Writer’s Guide to Veterinary Hospitals:

The veterinary field has been gaining popularity, which means more authors want to have veterinarian characters in their stories. However, not all writers understand the ins and outs of this unique field, and a poor representation of this will cause you to lose credibility with your readers. While human medicine has known aspects that most of us can understand, veterinary medicine encompasses all of that, plus the added aspect of unpredictable animals… and their owners!

In this lighthearted guide, the reader experiences firsthand the ups, downs and sideways events that happen daily if not weekly in this field. The author draws on her lifetime career in veterinary medicine to help authors capture the true essence of working in this field, whether their setting is a privately-owned hospital, part of a corporation, or even located inside an animal shelter. Each of these has their own unique culture, goal, and mindset, which will help writers solidify the day-to-day life of their characters. Delving feetfirst into this world will help writers create stronger, truer scenes that even the staunchest veterinary employee will relate to.

Readers interested in behind-the-scenes will gain a deeper understanding of what happens from the time of the first phone call to the appointment end, and writers looking for ways to immerse their readers in the world of veterinary medicine will have step-by-step scenes, terminology, and explanations to help them better portray their story.

From setting to seizures, conflicts to COVID, this guide has it all!

Leave a Comment

About The Surrogacy Trade (The Complete Trilogy):

There’s nothing worse than lies. Except for the truth.

By the year 2120, the world has changed dramatically. Few plants or animals have survived climate change and the human population has dropped to 3 billion. For those living in the northern hemisphere, life is made comfortable by an artificial intelligence called The Gaia Machine. But for those living in the southern region, life is tough. So tough, they must trade their young women as surrogates in exchange for fresh water. When Ophelia Alsop speaks out against the injustice, she is abducted and imprisoned in a bizarre underworld where she learns the shocking truth behind The Surrogacy Trade. And more.

Spanning the UK, France and Spain, Ophelia’s journey exposes the real implications of the trade in a future world where natural resources are small but the people’s appetite for equality is not. The actions that Ophelia and her friends take will change the world forever, but at great personal cost.

If you like an imaginative and fast-paced tour through the future, grab this trilogy now and enjoy the ride.

War is coming.

Marc Kincaid has one shot to convince a rival pack that their only chance at survival is to form an alliance. Nothing will stop him from protecting what’s his.

His response to her is instant and hungry, and makes him burn for more than just survival. But she’s not a rule he’s willing to break.

Bronaugh Lane has been fighting her dark fae nature her entire life. Giving up control is not an option. Not even for a wolf with the hard muscles of a warrior and a soft Scottish brogue. She should keep her distance, but her lusty nature is her undoing, nearly messing up her plans to get close to the wolf pack, because Marc is her only chance at infiltrating their den.

And then the game changes.
There are no rules now.

ANN: irresistible spirit

Leave a Comment

About ANN: irresistible spirit:

She was flawed from the start, as wild as a girl could be in 1968. I found her irresistible. We were destined to be lovers and fledgling adults who made mistakes. Heartbreak stalked us. At her best and worst her spirit proved indomitable. Ann’s life was always going to be an extraordinary adventure that flirted with happiness and beckoned tragedy. For fifty years, inner peace eluded her.

SOME REVIEWS:

“There are a few independent authors who have got it right when it comes to penning novels and Ken Ross is one of them. I have never been so caught up in a book, one of the main reasons for this is that “I get it,” I could understand what the characters were going through. I felt their pain and heartache, the attraction directed towards the opposite sex, and the complications in friendships.”

“I have never read a book with so much heart inside it. I’m actually balling my eyes out after reading this book. Wow. I know all of the places in this story and never would I have thought that Harehills could be romanticized and be the makings of such a magical story of young love.”

“The story that made me feel the emotions that I felt a long time ago. Thanks to the excellent style and author’s interpretation, I read ANN: irresistible spirit with no breaks. I can say that it has swallowed me with its frankness and openness.”

“So much more than a romance novel, Ann goes through a lifetime of loss, passion, regret, and grief. It had me ugly-crying and happy-crying sometimes only a few pages apart from each other. The second chapter sucked me in with no hope of getting loose.”

“It was unique as a love story coming from the perspective of a man, which I thought was like a breath of fresh air. You almost feel like you know these characters, especially Ann, and this book really feels like it is a true story”.

“Such a relatable story! This book has it all; heartache, love, lust, friendship, parenthood, and much more. It takes you on a complete journey of the lives of two people whose love and desires are sometimes just not enough.”

Our Last Shot by Bob Keaton

About Our Last Shot by Bob Keaton:

Tommy is leaving the country, but he hasn’t told anyone why. That—and a lot more—gets revealed during the last barbecue at Peckerwood, his plantation south of Atlanta.

He bought the decaying Southern relic 10 years ago and put a lot of money into the restoration. Now he’s ready to show it off.

So, he has invited the old college gang for the weekend, hoping to relive some memories and maybe even create a few new ones, as he sees his friends for the last time.

They do that, but a lot more happens, too. Old rivalries are reignited. Secrets get revealed. A young guy meets his birth mother for the first time and discovers who his dad is. Old love interests get rekindled. One member of the group reveals a sex change that nobody knew about. Oh, and there’s a murder, who will it be? And who did it?

Although they were close in college, now that they’re scattered around the country many of them haven’t seen each other in 20 years. Here are some of the characters invited to the reunion: A TV soap opera star from Los Angeles with a colorful past love life; a prominent high tech attorney in Seattle still trying to overcome the damage done by one of the gang back in college; an evangelist from Charleston whose ministry is based on “getting high” on drugs instead of Jesus; a famous New York actress with a mysterious past, and a well-known model from the 70s who now has his own agency and also a lot of baggage. Everybody’s favorite professor back in college, who was always there to listen to their problems and offer advice, shows up, but now he needs someone to listen to him and offer advice.

Not your typical weekend down on the old Georgia plantation
