The Perils of Praline: Or, the Amorous Adventures of a Southern Gentleman in Hollywood

by Marshall Thornton

Before Kim Kardashian broke the Internet with her butt, Peter “Praline” Palmetier brought it crashing down with his own bubblicious booty. When he falls in love with a reality TV show contestant, Praline leaves his home in rural Georgia and—failing to recognized this might be considered stalking—travels to Hollywood to find and meet his soul mate, Dave G. Once in Tinseltown, he encounters a collection of startling, and often horny, characters in his quest. They include a studly steward, the Godfather of the Gay Mafia, a bondage-crazed landlord and casting assistant Jason Friedman, who always manages to be there in time to save Praline from total disaster. But it is conservative pundit Malcolm Wright who propels Praline’s derriere into the Internet hall of fame when the two are filmed in the backseat of an SUV. Will Praline eventually realize his dream of becoming a same-sex celebrity spouse? Or will he find everyday, ordinary love?

Ishtar's Blade

by Lisa Blackwood

Warrior.
King’s confidant.
Avenging blade of the Goddess Ishtar.

Iltani asked to be none of these things. Yet fate does not ask permission when she weaves souls upon destiny’s loom.

On the day of Iltani’s birth, an assassin tried and nearly succeeded in ending the line of the gryphon kings. Out of that bloodshed, an unbreakable bond was forged between child-king and goddess-chosen infant, and from that pivotal moment forward, Iltani was never farther from King Ditanu than his shadow. Not until her training to become Ishtar’s Blade required her to leave.

After four brutal years of training, Iltani now returns to court as Ishtar’s Blade and takes up her role of king’s shadow—a dangerous position in a court where the threat of another assassination is but a blade’s width away. But for the chance to stand at the side of her beloved king, she will endure the dangers of court intrigues, assassins, and political maneuverings.


Author's Note: Ishtar's Blade is a Fantasy Romance loosely based on early Sumerian and Mesopotamian religion.

Blade's Honor (Book 2) is forthcoming later in 2016.

This fast-paced international thriller weaves fact and fiction into an adventure of epic proportions as it follows the lives of a handful of diverse individuals tied together by destiny and fate.

Journalist Jack Rogan knows a great story when he finds one. A charred old photograph found in the ruins of a burnt-out Blue Mountains cottage hints at dark secrets and unwittingly reignites an ancient and deadly quest for a holy relic mysteriously erased from the pages of history.

Federal Police officer Jana Gonski in pursuit of a suspected Nazi war criminal joins forces with Rogan, barrister and amateur archaeologist Marcus Carrington QC, and celebrated composer Benjamin Krakowski.

When Newman goes on trial, unexpected clues are discovered pointing the way to a mystery that has haunted the Catholic Church for centuries.

On a dangerous journey to find the relic, Rogan and his companions trace links back as far as the reign of Akhenaten, the heretic pharaoh of ancient Egypt, and King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. What is this dark secret guarded by the Knights Templar, and so feared by the Vatican? Will religious fanatics foil the quest which could destroy the very foundations of their Church and challenge Christianity itself?

The Zero Tolerance Game (A Frank Boff Mystery Book 6)

by Nathan Gottlieb

The odd couple of private investigators is back!

Frank Boff, the legendary DEA agent turned rogue P.I., teams up again with the volatile Emily Lynch, a six foot, alpha-female detective on suspension from the NYPD because of a drinking problem.

On a perfect summer day where seemingly nothing could go wrong, everything does. Boff walks his client to his car and is heading to retrieve his own vehicle, when he hears a tremendous explosion behind him. He looks back and is shocked to see his client’s car engulfed in flames.

Boff’s shock turns to anger as he realizes if he had been closer to the vehicle, he’d be dead now. He knows in an instant that whoever did this is going to pay. Big time.

When Boff gets home, he receives a phone call from an old high school buddy who was wrongfully convicted of murder and sent to prison for life at the age of seventeen.

Twenty-nine years later, his friend’s conviction has been overturned, and he’s being released with only one thought in mind: hire Boff to help find the real killer and punish him.

Faced with two murder cases, Boff needs a partner. With reluctance he turns to the combustible Lynch, who after her latest bout of binge drinking, finds herself homeless and sleeping in subways and shelters.

Inevitably, sparks fly between them as they struggle to solve two cases involving warring snipers on New York City rooftops, the world’s most ruthless drug cartel, corrupt federal agents, and caffeinated mobsters who’ll stop at nothing to get what they want.
