Food FictionForget what your English professor told you – life stories are not written in college.
Madeleine LaBlange, Annie Anderson, and Audrey Navarro shared formative years as roommates at Chicago’s Catholic haven for women, the historic Abbott College. If only they could have predicted the collisions between their carefully crafted life plans and the realities they discover beyond campus...
Madeleine harbors dreams of becoming a concert pianist while Dr. Reynold Fenwick, her mercurial graduate school mentor, harbors fantasies of Madeleine. Will pursuing her dreams be worth the cost? Will an evening in Budapest change her life forever?
Annie plans to build a perfect family with her perfect husband in the cutthroat news media industry, until an abrupt tragedy shakes the foundations of her marriage. What happens when she feels pulled between the two men she loves most, her husband and her father?
Audrey leaves her religious, restrictive parents behind and aims for Chicago’s downtown skyline, dating recklessly and staring down each grueling workday one Chicago Dog at a time. Will an island respite lure her away from her corporate future? When she finds herself in the arms of an unexpected lover, will she have the courage to stand up for her own evolving sense of self?
Follow the journeys of these remarkable women, and cheer them on as they navigate life, love, and chocolate soufflé.
Includes over a dozen decadent new recipes from Crowded Earth Kitchen!

The Art of Seduction in 101 Awkward Scenarios, basically a parody on those lame self-help guides.http://www.amazon.com/art-seduction-1...
Thanks for considering my romance/love story August 9th. This is a very different type of love story, told as a memoir. The soon to be made movie is being described as a combination of Almost Famous, Forrest Gump and The Notebook. http://www.amazon.com/August-9th-Stu-...
Imagine it’s August 9th, 1969. You’re Dan Brewster, an 18 year old UCLA student, with your girlfriend Maggie, in Anaheim, CA, about to witness a rock concert for the ages as Jethro Tull opens for Led Zeppelin. Near the end of Zeppelin’s encore something remarkably unexpected occurs. Twice, for a few seconds each time, a girl in the row in front of you turns around and your eyes magically connect with an intense attraction and breathtaking feeling you’ve never felt before. No words are exchanged and you leave the arena with only her hypnotic image, firmly etched in your mind.
Months pass and, despite being in love with Maggie, you’re obsessed by the ever present image of the girl from the concert. You assume what is probably infatuation, elevated by the euphoria of the evening, will pass with time. Then in March, a series of clues unexpectedly unravel that fortuitously lead you to the girl’s identity.
The next 45 years detail Dan's remarkable life and the magical amazing relationship he has with the gal he can't forget.
"Have you ever locked eyes with someone and been overwhelmed by instant attraction?"
"Do you have a “what if question” that haunts you?"
August 9th breaks all preconceived ideas of how a love story should be told. Once you start reading you won’t want to stop and after you finish the last page the story will continue to echo within you. You’ll talk, debate and personalize August 9th because almost everyone can relate to the fundamental theme.

'Old Crotchet'
Arthur Hinton once again prepares to preside over the Old Twelfth Night celebrations after the break occasioned by the Great War, but the mental disintegration of a shell-shocked Martin Parsons amidst the tranquillity of Mathew Sweet's orchard suggests that festivities may not be as agreeable as they once had been. Furthermore, the arrival of his nephew George, with his young wife Celia, prompts the stirring of sinister forces that have long lain dormant. Her singular and caustic personality proves sufficient to not only rile the living, but also even, it would seem, the dead.

'Gwydion's Dawn'
Just who, or what, is Gwydion Turner? The people of Glastonbury know only so much, although to them he is but one of any number of eccentric curiosities who grace the streets of their town. For the best part of the last decade, he has devoted himself to ‘the Great Work’, which he now believes himself to be upon the brink of realising; an esoteric activity that many, if not most, would regard as both incredible, and insane. One night in September 1985, his partial disclosure of the nature of his occult activities reveals him to be far from the harmless buffoon that people had supposed. There is, it seems, a whiff of death about the man.

He may be left perplexed and confused, yet that irritant of a colleague of his – Mike Pearce – seems to know something that he doesn’t. Could there be a hint of the supernatural in the mix, and if so, what, if anything, does Pearce have to do with it, and what does it mean for his future?

Satire/Supernatural Mystery
Published today and free to read for Kindle Unlimited subscribers, 'The Rude Woman of Cerne', a satirical novella with a supernatural element, finds itself very much in keeping with the season. The blurb follows below, together with links to Amazon where you can preview its first pages.
'The Rude Woman of Cerne'
The road to hell may be paved with good intentions, but Beatrice Clemens is determined to make this adage more ‘relevant’ to today’s society by blithely driving an eight-lane superhighway straight through the heart of rural England. Dubbed the ‘Conscience of Dorset’ by a newly launched progressive broadsheet, one could be forgiven for forgetting that this doughty campaigner for social justice in its multifarious forms is actually a B&B hostess (although she would prefer the non-gender specific term ‘host’). Alas for her guests, her values and preoccupations are never far from her lips, and her inclusive zeal is something in which she enjoins all to share, even if they are only trying to order a full English breakfast, and enjoy a country break far from the clamour of the madding crowd.
Just as Beatrice stands upon the brink of receiving the acclamation that she believes her work with ‘Diversity from the City’ deserves, something, or someone, is glimpsed amidst the hedgerows and within the banks of the Trendle; shadowy, furtive – the embodiment of old Dorset? Whoever it may be, he does not, it would seem, share her enthusiasms.

Mythology GuideMythology Unveiled: A Complete Guide From Greece To Egypt, From Creation to The World Beyond
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MRQKQ0S
Mythology Unveiled examines mythology through the eyes of such greats as Joseph Campbell, Carl Jung, Plato, and Euhemerus. Combining the ideas and philosophies of both classical and modern scholars, Jones reveals what he calls the 'mythic truth' that exists in virtually all stories.
" A must read for all lovers of mythology and ancient history."
- T.D. Hill (The Age Of Myths & Legends)
Though written in an easy manner, Mythology Unveiled is filled with an exceptional amount of detail. By running through the myths as translated from their original authors, Jones is able to explain the universality of mythology through comparison.
Discovering the links from prehistory to mythology to religion, the human condition is explored and extrapolated onto the theories of archetypes and the monomyth. The evolution of these stories is continued into modern times, and mythology is then examined in the books, movies, and music that we are all familiar with reiterating the notion that the mythic world is still alive.
This astonishing book exposes how the themes and symbols of ancient mythology continue to bring meaning to life, death, love, and war. From stories of the gods and goddesses of ancient Greece and Rome to the traditions of The Tarot, traditional astrology and Christianity, a broad array of themes are considered that together identify the universality of the human experience across time and culture.
Included:
Extensive Interpretations & Comparative Mythology
Greek & Roman Mythology
Norse Sagas
Egyptian Religion & Mysticism
Archetypes, Monomyth, and Mythic Time
Modern Mythology
Compulsively readable, Mythology Unveiled is an immersive, Campbell-esque study of myth and an exciting debut.

Meet Mark. He created Mr. Scratch. Never thought he'd meet him one day.
In the 1970s, underground cartoonist Mark Lipscomb followed his muse and created, quite by accident, a merchandising phenomenon. The characters from his comic POWER & GLORIA penetrated the mainstream, becoming an action figure line, a syndicated action cartoon, and really anything else their images could be slapped upon.
Today, the audience is dwindling, and Mark's adjusting to life with the new corporate owners of his creations. Arthritis has severely hindered Mark's ability to draw, and his stories have a tendency to offend the modern taste makers, generating a routine series of social media outrages.
Did Mark read the fine print of his deal? Perhaps not. Being fired from the comic devastates the fragile soul. He does have one defender, though. His own creation, the villainous Mr. Scratch, who’s escaped a dangling plot thread from Mark’s final issue. The ingenious rogue has traveled the multiverse and found himself in Mark’s backyard. Truly, they were fated to become fast friends.
Except, Scratch isn’t as harmless in the real world as he is on the printed page. As the days pass, Mark can no longer deny what he’s created. Macular degeneration and arthritic wrists don’t lend themselves to old-fashioned slugfests, so Mark must get creative if he wants to stop the bloodlust of his destructive id.

Jey is barely coping—until she stumbles upon an opportunity to join the crew of Two by Two, the first colony ship set to launch from the ailing Earth.
The mission—to create an idealistic artisan colony on an unexplored exoplanet—fits right in with Jey’s dreams. Her friendship with a clairvoyant child onboard the ship, her growing empathic abilities, and her bumbling attempts at love bring her hope.
But when a rival corporation sabotages the ship, and their target planet is a blasted wasteland, Jey finds herself at the center of the conflict.
Can she set aside her old self destructive patterns? Can she take a leap into a new way of being—and seeing to save her colony? Join Jey and her shipmates on the journey to Aride to find out.
Seeds of Change is a soft science fiction novel with a splash of metaphysics and magic. It is a coming of age story with big themes, small pleasures, and an ensemble cast of characters living in a world you won’t want to leave.

My newest book, Saints and Curses, is free on kindle unlimited. Here's the blurb: Explore worlds of light and dark, where magical whimsy and grim tidings alike are painted across the tapestry of human experience.
Indulge in tales of the fantastical where enchantments are bought and sold at the local corner store, your morning latte gives you special abilities, and you might just adopt a murderous, vampiric cat. Your child might be stolen away in the night and replaced with an ancient, evil creature of the fae, waves of plague-ridden vermin consume everything, and only a saint could hope to turn the tide.
These stories and more await you, if you dare to turn the page...

The debut novel by Ian Canon pulls from his own experience with addiction and is a gripping tale of one man's battle its capability to destroy lives. https://www.amazon.com/Its-Long-Way-D...
David Emmeret Smith seemingly has it all—he's at the height of his acting career, is the envy of his peers, and is in a loving, committed relationship. But, on the cusp of the biggest night of his life, one impulsive decision after another begins a downward spiral which puts everything he holds dear at risk. What follows from there is a hedonist's love affair with drugs, depravity, and destruction.

"A good addict isn’t built overnight. He isn’t built in a week, or two weeks, or a month. An addict, much like a well-deserved discipline, a martial art, a painting, or a poem, takes time to build—and a fair bit of money—and David had as much of either of those as any junkie ever had. However, within him still remained a last quality that, in order to be a full-fledged card carrying member of team tar, to wear, not his heart on his sleeve, but junk in his veins, had to be expunged: his pride.
A junkie’s pride—once the junk has embedded itself into the cellular structure, once it has forced itself into every nodule and nook and nether region, once it is a necessary part of the human biome, a cellular symbiosis, a partnership baked in the intertwining facets of pleasure and pain, when you would do anything, everything, for one more taste, one stretched dollar, a soul for a spoon, a prick for a prick—is always the last to go, the final stage in a metamorphosis that no man should undertake. David, naive to the state of his body’s new chemical makeup, had to learn this the hard way. He had, as the proud do, decided that he wasn’t a man who bent the knee to any drug. He had to show himself that every decision he made was a conscious one, that he had a will of his own, was a man with agency. But, sooner or later, pride leaves the body, and what is left is the junk and a man must come to terms with a solitary truth: knees were made to bend."

Lives Of EA sci-fi novel
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07L4VF25B
It can be hard to accept something as real when you’re convinced it’s not.
Erik had never heard of quantum computers. He had no interest in that sort of thing. When a woman he isn’t interested in tries to seduce him during dinner, his best mate mentions that he is building one. Desperate to escape the awkward situation, Erik insists on seeing the prototype.
That turns out to be a really bad idea.
A series of unfortunate events ends with Erik getting electrocuted. Subsequently, his life starts changing in every conceivable way, starting with him waking up in bed next to the woman he was trying to avoid the night before. Convinced that he went to sleep alone, Erik begins to doubt his ability to trust his own mind. Each new day is worse, presenting him with a completely different life every morning—subtle changes at first, although soon they veer to the extreme. Reality as he knows it becomes warped beyond all recognition.
Has he lost his mind? Is he living with multiple personalities? Or is this a never-ending lucid dream of alternate lives? Erik’s quest to understand what’s happening to him turns out to be nowhere near as difficult as finding a way to make it stop.
A perfect life, a perfect love – and a perfect murder.For over forty years Carol Cage has been living as a recluse in her mansion, Oaktree House. Fear is her constant companion. She’s been keeping a secret – and it’s about to be unearthed.
When she receives a compulsory purchase order for her home, she knows that everyone is going to find out what she did to survive her darkest weeks in 1970. She writes her confession so that we can understand what happened because she wasn’t the only one living a lie. The events that turned her fairy-tale life into a living hell were not all they seemed.
She’s determined not to pay for the mistakes of others; if she has to face justice, then they will too.
Carol Cage has a terrible secret … and she’s about to exact retribution on everyone who'd abandoned her.
