Your Brain’s Still Flashing by Jim Lively

Your Brain’s Still Flashing by Jim Lively

When Simon Steed gets released from the mental hospital, he needs a job to pay his bills. And quick! But since his diagnosis involves a serious personality disorder, all the District Court judges refuse to assign him any cases.
At last, he convinces a night court judge to let him represent indigent clients accused of a crime. The calls to summon him always come after midnight.
Once Simon settles in at his childhood home again, he meets friendly neighbors, including a mysterious woman who is at first only visible at night through a sheer curtain. She appears to be on her phone every time he peeks at her. Who is she talking to at that late hour? None of the neighbors has seen her and claim the house has been empty until probate is resolved.
Then he lands a wealthy client from a referral. Her behavior is hard to explain until he realizes she has something on her mind other than divorce.
Has Monica come back into Simon’s life? He must avoid the trouble she caused him before. What if he gets sent to the mental hospital again?
Why is Simon’s brain still flashing?

Conventional Pursuit by Hazel Mattice

Conventional Pursuit by Hazel Mattice

An arranged marriage:
Mavis Fischer is intelligent and solitary, and when her boyfriend invites her to dinner and announces his plans to marry someone else, admittedly a bit naïve.
Grady Webster is an independently wealthy marketer, and host of a seasonal duck hunting club. He approaches his decision to marry the same way he does business. After doing research, weighing pros and cons, he writes to Mavis upon a hunting guide’s recommendation, her stepbrother. Therein, Grady proposes marriage.
Mavis drives to rural North Dakota on her wedding day. When she arrives at the country church through the wrong door, Grady is charmed by her beauty and quick wit.
Hunting season commences.
Mavis steps into her role as hostess with a natural ability and ease, winning over those she meets. Delighted by her competence, Grady is convinced he’s made a good investment.
But Mavis has a secret she hasn’t told anyone. When she begins receiving odd texts and messages, Grady sees a side of Mavis that isn’t quite so endearing. Soon, biting her nails and obsessively searching for missing items turns into locking the doors, many nights of insomnia, and paranoia.
After a shocking incident, Grady’s world comes to a halt. He begins to question both Mavis’s sanity, and his own decision to marry her. Mavis, on the other hand, has no recollection of the event.
Then Grady returns home from a work conference and discovers Mavis missing. When he finds her walking down a secluded gravel road, Grady worries the real intruder is a figment of her imagination. He no longer sees her as a good business decision, but as the woman he loves.
And he has no idea how to protect her.

Battle Calm

About Battle Calm:

When Badger succeeded his father, Red Skin, as Keeper Base Leader, he was well prepared, raised to handle anything the enemy threw at him. He was the best killer and the most respected tactician. He knew Red Skin’s Laws like he wrote them himself. Most importantly, he was always calm, no matter how frenzied the combat. These were only some of the reasons why he still had all his original parts.

Trinity would die for him.

Korry would follow him without question.

They were Keepers. They fought, they killed, they lived to kill another day, even when it meant bugging out to another Base … and another. That was life when life was war. They knew nothing else.

But even war cannot last forever, regardless of the infallible truth of Red Skin’s Law #35: “Under conditions of peace, men attack themselves; thus, there never has been, and there never will be a time without war. It is the greatest, most perfect thing men can do.”

Gritty Friendships: Bringing Purpose and Value to Male Relationships by Dr. Carlyle Snider Naylor

Gritty Friendships: Bringing Purpose and Value to Male Relationships by Dr. Carlyle Snider Naylor

Fed up with surface-level friendships that make you feel disconnected from the full human experience? Then it’s time to get gritty!
Life is busy, and as a man, you’ve been conditioned to keep yourself guarded, standing strong and keeping your thoughts and feelings inside you.

There’s greatness in that strength, but do you ever feel like you’re missing out?

You have no shortage of male friendships, but some of them feel like they rarely go beyond the surface, and there are too many old friends who have drifted away over the years.

Perhaps you watch your wife with her friends and marvel at how deep their conversations go… You feel the same way as they do sometimes, but no one’s ever asked you about it.

Male loneliness is an often overlooked issue in today’s society. Research has found that men report having fewer close friends than their counterparts 30 years ago.

Between career pressures, family life, and the societal expectations that have made it hard for them to open up, many men are struggling… and if you feel like you’re part of that group, you’re definitely not alone.

As humans, we’re wired for connection – men and women alike – and this idea that men are somehow removed from that does nothing to ensure you get what you need.

So what can you do? How can you reach out and secure the bonds that are important to you?

There are a few key issues you’ll need to look at to feel comfortable making the deep and meaningful connections you long for – and this unique guide to unearthing the gritty male friendships you already have in front of you will steer you through them all.

The Amorphan Effect by K. E. Brungardt

The Amorphan Effect by K. E. Brungardt

Shapeshifting is impossible.
It’s not my only secret.
About to embark on a two-week journey to a far-off planet to become an exchange student at an alien university. I’m honored and thrilled to be chosen for this first-of-a-kind adventure.. But seconds before departing, Mom tasks me with uncovering the truth of how my brother, Devon, died on the same starship many years before.

I’m not a detective and Mom knows it so she must be desperate. I have very little to go on except an illegal copy of Mom’s memories that she pressed into my hand at the last second. How she expects me to find the answer all these years later baffles me, but, hey, it’s Mom so I’ll try in spite of the danger to myself.

Early in my journey with four other human students, I find out the hard way that I am a shapeshifter. This is huge because there are no others like me. At all. I don’t know why or how but I know it’s real. Is this new ability somehow connected to my brother’s death?

My sentient, telepathic hair and shapeshifting abilities are definitely assets during my investigation—as long as I can keep them hidden from everyone else, human and Imurian. But, when I uncover a deadly conspiracy, I need help—but who among my classmates and the Imurians can I trust?

With only two weeks onboard for this journey and very few clues, can I solve Devon’s mysterious death? An even bigger question is how do I keep my strange abilities secret and can I survive their discovery?

If you’re looking for your next incredible new syfy read, check out The Amorphan Effect. Featuring an unsettling mystery, a shapeshifter in space, and an evil plot, this YA coming of age story has you covered. It even has a cat-like alien race that controls space travel.
