TALES They Fired Your Nannybot For Telling You

About TALES They Fired Your Nannybot For Telling You:

First, the practical argument for getting comfortable with my short story tome: It contains 35 stories, and each of them a thought provoking page-turner. At 250,000+ words and over 580+ pages, there’s as much as 3-4 novels to read. So why waste your precious reading time on a few novels about a handful of characters, when you can meet the characters in 35 tales about all kinds of quirky situations?

Second, if you appreciate a bit of diversity in your reading, my collection covers three broad genres: sci-fi (the near-future, plausible kind), dark stories (some dark as a b a bad night, others dark and humorous), and love/relationships (though not necessarily of the happy-ever-after variety).

Third, as my title implies, why not finally get the answers to all those questions you’d love to ask your nannybot, things like what if Jesus meets a real knockout, and – OMG! – she’s a Christian? Or what if the greatest sex ever isn’t good enough for your boyfriend? Or will we even bother with “real” sex if mindsex in the global neurosphere becomes “more real than real”? Or what’s the perfect way to deal with a cheating jerk? Or what if you have to babysit a Russian hit man, and he’s freaking wild-eyed crazy? Or can a couple of ditzy college girls get themselves out of some serious trouble in a way that’s the stuff of legend? Or can a closeted gay Republican senator’s trophy wife turn the tables on him? Or can a randy old retiree get way more than he bargained for from his secretive new neighbor? Or can alien beings find THE perfect Earth woman to impregnate?

Psycho stuff, the cornucopia of human obsessions and phobias and delusions, is what really interests a human-curious nannybot. Kinky sex, revenge fantasies, table turning, feminism, gender justice, and other male/female issues make her neurotronic circuits sizzle. And when it comes to religion, there’s a subject any inquisitive nannybot with a sense of humor finds literally fascinating beyond belief.

The Sunrise Girl

Leave a Comment

About The Sunrise Girl:

“A page turner whose central character is raw, flawed, complex and utterly relatable.” – Carolyn Wren, multi-award-winning author of the ‘Love Under Fire’ romantic suspense series.

She really should know better…

Lucy’s life was fun and uncomplicated. Nights were spent partying with best friend Em, doing what twenty-somethings do: dancing, drinking and ditching any men who wanted more than just a one-night stand.

All Joe Morris wanted was for Lucy to be his devoted wife. Now two years have passed since Joe’s death and Lucy wakes at sunrise reliving the events of that fateful night harbouring a guilty secret she knows will cause her house of cards to tumble.

When Em suggests a holiday to the clubbing island of Ibiza, Lucy jumps at the chance to escape her woes and reignite a lifestyle she’d long since left behind. Ibiza doesn’t disappoint and Lucy wants more, but is it all just a smokescreen? Lucy’s past won’t stay buried for long and she knows what she should do but at what cost?

Can she figure it out before it’s too late, or will Lucy always be the sunrise girl?

A sexy, emotive tale of a thirty-something woman’s struggle to reconcile her past in the wake of tragedy and figure out what she truly wants.

About This Day is Ours:

The American Colonies, 1776. As the flames of revolution spread across a divided land, a shadowy figure prowls the streets of Philadelphia.

Alexandra Pennington has her future well planned when a chance encounter turns her world upside down. Betrothed to a dashing king’s man suited to her in every way, the young widow tangles with an unrefined rebel fiercely opposed to British rule. Against all reason, she finds common ground with an enemy of the Crown. The sensible course for her is clear, but her bond with the notorious rogue will test her loyalty not only to her king but also to the man she vowed to marry.

Shades of the Deep Blue Sea

About Shades of the Deep Blue Sea:

As their ship crosses the Pacific, headed to war in the Philippines, the bumbling Olafson looks for ways to kill Bart who is looking for ways to stay alive, all while the crew of the Renegade begins to believe that Bart might already have become a shade. But, the winds of war blow Bart and Olafson to the Spice Islands and the Japanese, and to Saya, who is fighting a war of her own. Can they survive in a jungle world of cannibals, poisonous birds, and a woman bent on revenge against the Japanese?

Shades of the Deep Blue Sea is more than a historically-precise novel of World War II in the Pacific. It also is a riveting foray into dodging torpedoes, machine guns, and Japanese patrols that makes one wonder whether Bart could actually see what happened beforehand. A shade, after all, is more than just a change of color….

Shades of the Deep Blue Sea is another remarkable work of historical fiction from Jack Woodville London, author of Children of a Good War, winner of Best Historical Fiction, War and Military, 2018 and the French Letters Series.

(Crime Thriller) Spark of Dawn: The Assassin’s Vindication

About (Crime Thriller) Spark of Dawn: The Assassin’s Vindication:

HOW DO YOU SAVE YOUR BROTHERS TRICKED INTO KILLING YOU?

Yoake Hibana (Dawn’s Spark in English) is a female Yakuza assassin of the Rising Dragon Clan. Her moniker was the Demure Assassin. She was a peak assassin. The only problem with her was she was a ‘her’. Females were mothers, daughters or mistresses in the Yakuza. Being a soldier was unheard of.

One day after a certain assassination, she checked the dojo for security and happened upon her leader, the oyabun. She heard what she shouldn’t have.

Sensei Tagai, her oyabun was on the phone planning the obliteration of his own clan! All her brothers were targeted for intentional death!

Tagai saw her, and tried to kill her. She escaped with her skills and became a fugitive. Tagai yelled to her he would tell her brothers she was the traitor, and to hunt her down to kill her. She had to find a way to warn her brothers while avoiding katanas from the misguided clan.

Yoake went through many calamities before she chose her last resort, confiding in a straight police officer. She was different, but help from a cop was sacrilege in a Yakuza clan.

Lieutenant Tagawa despised Yakuza, but his public duty was to assist anyone marked for death. She was affiliated with Yakuza, but she was a human Yakuza. He just didn’t know how deep her distress went.

Follow the Demure Assassin on her harrowing journey to thwart her chauvinistic oyabun. Trying to stop him from murdering his entire clan gets much deeper than just vindicating for her brothers in Spark of Dawn: The Assassin’s Vindication

In this underworld opposites attract thriller you get:

Underworld betrayal

Underworld collusion

A non-traditional suspense thriller

A wild Japanese underworld fiction adventure story

The show of a woman’s strength

A romance which never should’ve happened

The Lost Gospel of Peace

About The Lost Gospel of Peace:

The present work is an adaptation of Edmond Bordeaux Székely’s Book One of The Essene Gospel of Peace, first published in 1928. To be sure, this is not a new translation of the former volume, instead the present work could best be described as a variation on a theme. In essence, the former volume severed as a rough draft of sorts, from which a more expansive and esoteric narrative was crafted. And while the present work may be correctly classified as historical fiction, it nonetheless aims to connect the dots in order to give the reader a key, by which secrets hidden in plain site may be more easily decoded.
Further, the present work utilizes The Tetragrammaton YHWH – יהוה the four-letter Hebrew name of the Creator, as well as Hebrew names and phrases throughout its pages. Additionally, the present work also includes cultivation exercised, which were only generally hinted at in the former volume. And while the present work does have a distinctly Hebraic and esoteric (i.e. Kabbalah) frame of reference, it is hoped that all readers may gain some beneficial insight from its reading, regardless of your religious views or persuasion.

American Blasphemer

About American Blasphemer:

Would you dance with the Devil at a rock and roll show?
Even if she wanted to kill you?

American Blasphemer is the story of a lovesick writer named John who moves to NYC to escape his dysfunctional family after getting dumped by his girlfriend.

An epic literary novel written in the tradition of Denis Johnson, Charles Bukowski, and Hunter S. Thompson, each chapter delivers new characters and unforgettable experiences – a knife fight with a sex addict, a psychedelic family Christmas, a Cathedral burning in Manhattan, a midnight visit to Elvis’s grave, and more.

This harrowing journey through American carnage culminates in a showdown with a tattooed witch and warlock who try to get John to join their coven after meeting him at a concert in Times Square.

“This is a book that I could not put down. This book is crude and brutally honest.” – NetGalley Review

Maybe Lainey tries a little too hard….
