C an this suburban mom find balance between her “momminess” and her “sexiness?”
She’s smart, pretty, and runs her own business. So then why does she feel so dead inside? Between work, two kids, and a husband who finds her about as exciting as furniture shopping, this is the story of a (formerly-exciting but now way-too-typical) suburban mom who diagnoses herself with Momnesia and sets about finessing a new version of her old vivaciousness:
Momnesia (mahm-nee-zhuh) -noun-
Loss of the memory of who you used to be. Caused by pregnancy, play dates, and trying to keep the house cleaner than the Joneses.
She finds some adventure pursuing her own interests, and does make some new friends (including the battery operated variety), but she still feels like nothing more than a caretaker.
In between dealing with her husband’s manic-depressive behavior, drama with her friends, and some naughty Internet escapades, she questions, “Is it that I haven’t been myself? Or is it that I am being myself but just different than I used to be?”
It isn’t until she tosses the Invisible Rule Book altogether, that she discovers life–and love–have more to offer than she ever imagined!

The Tudors: The Complete Story of England’s Most Notorious Dynasty by G.J. Meyer
Genre(s): Biographies & Memoirs, Ethnic & National, Irish, Historical, British, Leaders & Notable People, Royalty, History, Europe, England, Ireland
B ONUS: This edition contains a The Tudors discussion guide.
Acclaimed historian G. J. Meyer provides a fresh look at the fabled Tudor dynasty–and some of the most enigmatic figures ever to rule a country. In 1485, Henry Tudor, whose claim to the English throne was so weak as to be almost laughable, nevertheless sailed from France with a ragtag army to take the crown from the family that had ruled England for almost four centuries. Fifty years later, his son, Henry VIII, aimed to seize even greater powers–ultimately leaving behind a brutal legacy that would blight the lives of his children and the destiny of his country. Edward VI, a fervent believer in reforming the English church, died before realizing his dream. Mary I, the disgraced daughter of Catherine of Aragon, tried and failed to reestablish the Catholic Church and produce an heir, while Elizabeth I sacrificed all chance of personal happiness in order to survive.
The Tudors presents the sinners and saints, the tragedies and triumphs, the high dreams and dark crimes, of this enthralling era.

The new life Pietro builds–one based on gambling, extortion, bootlegging, and lies–seduces him to stay. Meanwhile in Italy, Isabella adjusts to life without Pietro, using deceit to safeguard her family and later to aid WWII partisans who eventually regard the son a hero and the daughter a Nazi collaborator. Twenty-nine years will pass before Pietro returns as a wealthy man, along with an American son determined to befriend the family his father deserted. But first, Pietro must redeem himself to Isabella, their children, and the neighbor he betrayed.

State of Grace (Wolf Dasher) by John Phythyon
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Mystery Thriller & Suspense, Thrillers, Spy Stories & Tales of Intrigue, Science Fiction & Fantasy, Fantasy
M urder in a broken land . . .
When his friend and colleague in Urland’s Shadow Service, Sara Wensley-James, is murdered in the elf nation of Alfar, Wolf Dasher’s mission seems simple: track down her killer and bring him to justice. But nothing is going to be easy about this case.
Sara named Sagaius Silverleaf, Alfar’s ambassador to Urland as the culprit, but he couldn’t have done it. He was in Urland at the time of the murder.
Sent to Alfar undercover as Urland’s new ambassador, Wolf begins the most difficult and dangerous mission of his career. The once-lush and magical land of the elves is decaying. Its countryside putrefies before its citizens’ eyes. Some blame the presence of human occupiers – Urlish military units present to keep order and support Alfar’s shaky coalition government. Some blame losing the message of the great prophet, Frey, and turning away from God’s plan. But many think it is simply the schism in elfin religion that spawned a civil war and daily acts of terrorism by fundamentalist martyrs.
Wolf must navigate this nightmarish environment to find Sara’s killer. Could Silverleaf have been responsible? If so, why? His investigation leads him into an intricate web of assassination, betrayal, and zealotry. With the help of Aflar’s Elite Guard captain, May Honeyflower, Wolf uncovers piece after piece of a sinister puzzle: a psychotic killer, a mad general bent on conquest, an ancient, evil artifact, and a terrorist organization planning a grand act of devastation. But how do they all fit together? What did Sara discover that got her killed?
As the Feast of the Revelation, the holiest day on the elfin calendar, approaches, Wolf and Honeyflower find themselves in a race against time to unravel a plot that could topple Alfar’s government, plunge it into war, and change the balance of power in the world forever.
State of Grace is the first in a series of fantasy-thriller mash-up novels, blending magic, super-spies, and politics in an exciting brew of action and adventure. From the chilling opening scene to the pulse-pounding climax, State of Grace takes the best elements of an espionage thriller and a court intrigue and weaves them into a world both familiar and fantastic.

Bedtime Stories For Kids – Book 1: Close Your Eyes (Relaxing Adventures: One short story per evening will calm the mind and help your child fall asleep fast.) by Janine E. Leo
Genre(s): Action & Adventure, Religion & Spirituality, Spirituality, Meditations
T he book, “Bedtime Stories For Kids – Book 1: Close Your Eyes (Relaxing Adventures: One short story per evening will calm the mind and help your child fall asleep fast.)”, was written out of necessity to provide children and their parents with a pleasant and peaceful evening experience. Evening time can be extremely stressful for families, because children often have trouble getting to sleep, even though they are tired, and become cranky because of it. Also, not only children become tired in the evening, the same happens to parents after a long and busy day.
That’s why relaxing bedtime stories for children are child- and parent-friendly. Adventure stories provide parents with a small trick that helps them motivate their children to quickly go to bed. Through beautiful adventures like: playing in tall grass, swimming with colored fish, playing with fluffy kittens, flying with a flying horse, going into space, traveling around on clouds, observing a mighty waterfall, playing in the snow, etc., the Kindle short stories occupy children’s minds with positive experiences, calm them down and lull them to sleep.
In recent years, many recognized authors such as: Louise L. Hay, Deepak Chopra, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, Connie Bowen, Eric Pearl, etc., have stressed the connection of our mind and body and showed us the healing possibilities inside us. Even the medical world is beginning to understand how our mind influences our body and is slowly willing to accept it. These kids bedtime stories try to follow this knowledge and add a new positive, adventurous dimension; adjusted especially for children.
These short stories include elements of meditation, positive thinking and affirmations for kids, which relaxes their minds and helps them to accept themselves as they are – all while helping to release them from their problems and at the same time,,find an appropriate solution. The support we give kids through short bedtime stories for kids bring them inner peace, awareness of their positive core and strengthen their self-confidence, which results in helping them to fall asleep easily.
All these stories begin with the sentence: “Close your eyes. Take a few deep breaths. Breathe in slowly, hold your breath for a second, and then slowly breathe out. Repeat three times.” Deep breathing by itself is one of the best ways to lower stress in the body. By using childrens’ imagination, the stories take them to the adventures they adore: from helping the stork deliver a baby, to playing in snow tunnels, sledding down the roof, dancing with the stars and the moon, playing with a colorful butterfly, collecting interesting stones from the beach, etc. All the stories end by saying: “Good night and sleep tight. Love you.” In this way each night, we let our children know they are important to us and that we love them.
These short bedtime stories were written especially for Kindle, out of the author’s needs and experiences as a mother. The author still has to tell these kind of stories to her kids every evening, now aged 8 and 10. Although the stories are short, they sometimes both fall asleep before the story is over. Even if they don’t, they can stay in the adventure they have pictured in their minds a bit longer and enjoy it even after they get their final good night kiss.
This is one of those great kids books for Kindle that will truly add value to any life, and we’re sure both parents and their kids are going to love it.

Shadow People: how meth-driven crime is eating at the heart of rural America by Scott Thomas Anderson
Genre(s): Biographies & Memoirs, True Accounts, Organized Crime, True Crime
L iterary Nonfiction. Sleepless and paranoid methamphetamine addicts often see “shadow people” in the darkest hours of the night. Yet it is the addicts themselves that cast a shadow over the most peaceful corners of America, driven in large numbers to commit fraud, identity theft, burglary, domestic violence, elder abuse, child abuse, assault and murder.
In 2010, award-winning journalist Scott Thomas Anderson began to explore the link between crime and methamphetamine, spending sixteen months as an embedded reporter with rural county law enforcement agencies and traveling to dozens of small towns battling the epidemic across the United States. The result is SHADOW PEOPLE, an unflinching look at the havoc and heartache meth spawns in the open countryside–a window to how the drug is threatening America’s wide open country spaces, fueling crimes against citizens, breaking families apart, devastating innocent children and tearing away at the psyche of each community through which it spreads.
“A compelling and up-close look at one of the most corrosive issues that our communities face…this book is full of the kind of front-line reporting and gritty detail needed to illuminate the meth scourge.”–Greg Miller, National Security Report, The Washington Post

T welve-year-old Helga has more danger in her life than most beasts her age–Wrackshee slavers after her, a vicious attack by bandits that nearly kills her, a race against dragons pursuing her, and leading a daring rebellion to save her life and rescue friends and family from the insidious WooZan. And that is just the beginning. But what do you expect when you are a young beast who just can’t see the stupid rules of the world making any sense? Helga can’t accept things as they are and ends up taking on not just one, but two all-powerful, supreme tyrants in two different realms.
Helga never intended to lead a revolution. It just sort of happened because she wouldn’t go along with the “rules of normal” that keep tyrants in power and entire societies enslaved. Beginning on a dangerous quest to solve some mysteries in her own past, Helga leads her quirky comrades on a journey that will not only forever change them, but upset ancient civilizations.
As an author, I’m drawn to eccentric, unexpected characters: those who surprise because they hear a distant galaxy, see a different music, create their own fragrance rather than get hooked on a soundtrack; the child who has her own ideas about how the emperor is dressed; the lunatics and rebels who tell stories on the boundaries. Helga’s unusual story will take readers to worlds they never imagined–definitely a whole new ride.
Time and again, the unconventional heroine and her eccentric comrades overcome ominous tyrants and black-hearted slavers, not by battling to the last beast standing, but by being the first beast to think differently.
Helga: Out of Hedgelands is divided into three books which introduce the epic saga of the Wood Cow clan and their role in overturning centuries of slavery and tyranny. This story will continue in additional volumes of the Wood Cow Chronicles now in development. Over the series of current and future volumes, the entire history of the Wood Cow clan, the fall of Maev Astuté, and the coming of Lord Farseeker to the Outer Rings, will be told.

Wake up, little darling. Do you like what you see?
He’s looking for the perfect woman. Someone who won’t disappoint him, like so many have before. Someone who’ll love him. Someone who won’t have to die for her mistakes. Give up, little darling. FBI agent Mary Cantrell has been called to Minneapolis to hunt down a killer. It’s shaking her to the core, and reviving dreadful memories. Years ago, her best friend was murdered. Now the man convicted of the crime, Gavin Hitchcock, is free — and Mary’s own sister Gillian, a local cop, has befriended him. No one can hear you scream but me. As each clue leads them closer to Hitchcock, Mary and Gillian set themselves up as the perfect target — and the perfect trap. Unless Mary’s own past is blinding her to an unimaginable truth….and plunging her into a waking nightmare.
From Publishers Weekly:
Women who dye their hair blonde may think twice before heading to the salon after reading Frasier’s (Hush) enthralling thriller about a serial killer who plucks the eyes out of his young blonde victims and grafts rose stems onto their fingers-all in an effort to create the perfect woman. Minneapolis FBI agent Mary Cantrell has a personal interest in the latest string of murders taking place in her hometown. The killer may very well be an old high school classmate named Gavin Hitchcock, who was convicted of raping and murdering her best friend and then released after serving nine years in prison. But when the abductions persist even after Gavin is returned to custody, Mary’s sister, Gillian, a local cop who’s befriended Gavin and believes him to be innocent, goes undercover to trap the real killer. Some vivid autopsy scenes may turn the stomachs of the squeamish, but there’s a lot more to this clever intrigue than graphic police procedures. Indeed, one of Frasier’s many strengths is her ability create characters and relationships that are as compelling as the mystery itself. From the estranged Cantrell sisters and their broad-minded mother to Mary’s handsome partner and the troubled Gavin, Frasier’s well-rounded characters will linger with readers long after the killer is caught.

Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Genre Fiction, Horror, Occult, Mystery Thriller & Suspense, Mystery, Hard-Boiled
H untress Moon was just nominated for a Thriller Award in the brand new category: Best E Book Original Novel.
From Thriller Award-winning author Alexandra Sokoloff – Book 1 in the riveting new Huntress FBI series about a driven FBI agent on the hunt for that most rare of all killers: a female serial.
FBI Special Agent Matthew Roarke is closing in on a bust of a major criminal organization in San Francisco when he witnesses an undercover member of his team killed right in front of him on a busy street, an accident Roarke can’t believe is coincidental. His suspicions put him on the trail of a mysterious young woman who appears to have been present at each scene of a years-long string of “accidents” and murders, and who may well be that most rare of killers: a female serial.
Roarke’s hunt for her takes him across three states…while in a small coastal town, a young father and his five-year old son, both wounded from a recent divorce, encounter a lost and compelling young woman on the beach and strike up an unlikely friendship without realizing how deadly she may be.
As Roarke uncovers the shocking truth of her background, he realizes she is on a mission of her own, and must race to capture her before more blood is shed.

Reviews:
“Some of the most original and freshly unnerving work in the genre.”
— The New York Times Book Review
“Alexandra Sokoloff’s talent brings readers into the dark and encompassing world of the unknown so completely that readers will find it difficult to go to bed until the last page has been turned. Her novels bring human frailty and the desperate desire to survive together in poignant stories of personal struggle and human triumph. But the truly fascinating element of Sokoloff’s writing is her deep dig into the human psyche and the horrors that lie just beneath the surface of our carefully constructed facades.” — Fiction Examiner “This interstate manhunt has plenty of thrills… Sokoloff’s choice to present both Roarke’s and the killer’s perspectives keeps the drama taut and the pages flying.” – Kirkus Reviews
“Sokoloff is simply amazing!” — Bookreporter
“Sokoloff is an author not to be missed.” — Bestselling author Heather Graham

O n his thirteenth birthday William Wesley (whom everyone calls Will) receives a strange letter from a so-called king. The letter is full of apologies that make no sense, so Will figures it’s some kind of a birthday surprise, but then there are three knocks on his front door. By the next morning his entire world is a smoking heap of ashes and every line written in the letter makes perfect sense.
Near the closing the letter reads:
Get on the 3:30 train. Go south. Get off at sunset and walk deep into the eastern woods. Knock on the door of the only house you come across…
Did this so-called king know what was going to happen beforehand or did he orchestrate the ordeal himself? Is he to blame or is he somehow magical? Will must know, so he sets out on an epic journey that takes him to a world full of magical magis and war, where he meets new friends and new enemies. In the end he comes face to face with the one who is truly responsible.
His life will never be the same.

Sedition. A Political Thriller by Tom Abrahams
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Genre Fiction, Political, Mystery Thriller & Suspense, Thrillers
B EST OF 2012!
–Rabid Readers Reviews, rabidreaders.com
“Packed with detail and plot, Abrahams’ SEDITION reminded me of some of John Le Carre’s work. Maybe RUSSIA HOUSE or TINKER, TAILOR, SOLDIER, SPY.”
–International Bestselling Author Marc Cameron
“With echoes of heavyweights like John Grisham, Abrahams rolls out the plot with precision and attention to detail giving us believable characters unlike so many of the other post 9/11 cookie cutter thrillers that clog the genre.”
–December 2012 THRILLER OF THE MONTH, e-thriller.com
“In a rising sea of political conspiracy novels, Abrahams’ SEDITION stands out as one of best I’ve read in several years.”
–Steven Konkoly, Bestselling author of The Jakarta Pandemic and the Black Flagged series
The President of The United States is dead. There is no Vice President to take his place.
As the nation slips into a constitutional crisis, a small group of disenfranchised neo-patriots conspire to violently seize power.
They have the will. They already have someone on the inside. And they have the explosives.
Standing in their way is a woman who listens to conversations not meant for her to hear. She reads mail not intended for her to see. She knows their intention. But can she stop them in time?
SEDITION is a smart, fast-paced, modern day political novel woven in reality and based on the 1820 British plot, The Cato Street Conspiracy.
It navigates the thin line between good versus evil and patriot versus traitor, proving there’s always a reason behind treason.
So if you like the realism and historical context of a Dan Brown thriller, mixed with research of a Tom Clancy novel…you’ll love SEDITION.

In a slow orbit around the sun, just beyond Mars, a mining colony known as Rosetta houses thousands of Consortium citizens who mine the valuable ore Humanity uses for space travel.

There, Meade finds himself caught up in a power struggle between the diabolical CEO of Nebula Mining Dimitri Koschei, and Lazarus Rincon, the charismatic leader of a vicious cult.
With the assistance of his friend and confidant (the beautiful Emeline Hunan), Meade races against the clock to find Sinjakama’s murderer and prevent a catastrophic disaster that might mean the end of all life on Earth.
