Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Literary, Science Fiction & Fantasy, Science Fiction, Literary Fiction
W hen 30-year-old firefighter Josephine Porter dies in the line of duty, her sister Jeanette arranges to have Joey’s brain uploaded to a computer system called BrightBox. At first, Jeanette is thrilled to have her sister’s mind stored in a small device that she can bring with her wherever she goes; life seems to become one unending slumber party.
But being trapped in a BrightBox doesn’t suit Joey well–she experiences painful phantom limbs, strange auditory and visual hallucinations, and finds herself remembering things that never actually happened. Plus there’s all the strange information that keeps downloading into Joey’s hard drive…information that Joey doesn’t want to know, and that BrightBox’s parent company finds dangerous. Soon Jeanette must enlist the help of BrightBox’s sales representative and the product’s senile inventor, in order to track down the source of the strange downloads and restore her sister’s sanity.
Corpus Callosum is a work of literary science fiction that explores how people cope with death and anguish, how individuals form and express selfhood under extreme states of flux, and what we lose when all data is saved.

“ And yet, the cat remains. It is an enigma, just as Edgar Poe was an enigma as a writer, and I am also an enigma as a man. We are all joined together in this mystery of terror and blood; this death of a great artist who was, most likely, just beginning to live a life of sober reflection, ready to create his greatest work ever.” Forevermore, Chapter 4.
Now a great audiobook read by Shandon Loring, a dramatic Irish voice.

Sincerely,
Jim Musgrave
Mini-Mysteries in the manner of Poe.
“If any literary work is too long to be read at one sitting, we must be content to dispense with the immensely important effect derivable from unity of impression–for, if two sittings be required, the affairs of the world interfere, and everything like totality is at once destroyed.”–Edgar Allan Poe
Synopsis:
“Musgrave mixes accurate history with a spell-binding plot to create an amazing who-done-it! Watch for more Pat O’Malley Mysteries.”
In post Civil War New York City, Detective Pat O’Malley is living inside Poe’s Cottage in the Bronx. O’Malley is haunted by Poe one night, and the detective finds a strange note. As a result, O’Malley decides to prove that Edgar Allan Poe did not die in Baltimore from an alcoholic binge but was, instead, murdered. O’Malley quickly becomes embroiled in a “cold case” that thrusts him into the lair of one of the most sinister and ruthless killers in 1865 New York City.
Jim Musgrave’s “Forevermore” is a quick read in four acts that will keep your mind razor sharp trying to solve the mystery of Poe’s murder. Pat O’Malley must first find out how to become intimate with females before he can discover the final clue in this puzzle of wits, murder and romance.
These mysteries are all short but powerful reads (following Poe’s dictum that a work, to be effective, must be readable in one sitting). The third mystery will be a “battle royale” between two of the most popular brothel madams in 1860s New York City. Come join the fun with Detective O’Malley and his partner, Madame Rebecca Charming, as they battle crime and Tammany Hall city corruption. As author Jim Musgrave says in his app for iPad, iPhone and Android, “Carry 1860s New York City around in your pocket or purse!”
Professional Review:
Most historians uphold that literary legend Edgar Allan Poe died from complications to his crippling alcoholism. But private detective Pat O’Malley believes otherwise. He believes that Poe was actually a victim of murder. In Forevermore, O’Malley sets forth on a mission of danger and romance to uncover the truth behind the demise of his old friend and one of America’s most important authors.
In most mystery novels, the quality of the story as a whole is largely dependent on the quality of the character telling it. Luckily, Forevermore has a great narrator and protagonist in the form of Pat O’Malley. O’Malley is a truly developed and surprisingly complex character. He is likable, and not a generic womanizer. In fact, many of his tragic life experiences have left him with a sort of phobia of women. Surmounting this phobia becomes a paramount plot point which makes solving the case of Poe’s murder seem not just like a job, but also a journey of critical personal importance.
O’Malley is not the only character to enjoy in this novel, though. Author Jim Musgrave has concocted an excellent cast of supporting characters including some great interpretations of historical figures like William Wallace and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Becky Charming, the prostitute and closest confidante of O’Malley, is perhaps the most interesting of them all as a woman who perfectly balances sensuality with motherly wisdom.

Four Days with Hemingway’s Ghost by Tom Winton
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Literary, Mystery Thriller & Suspense, Thrillers, Suspense, Literary Fiction
F our Days with Hemingway’s Ghost is not a story of spooks and goblins. It’s a powerful story about two men from two very different times. One man is mortal, the other is immortal. One is painfully ordinary, the other world famous.
Jack Phelan is a forty-two-year-old underachiever who lives in South Florida. Although he mows lawns for a living, he’s not what you might expect. He’s got an exceptionally sharp mind and is a self-educated Hemingway aficionado.
After Jack gets into an unlikely accident he’s flown by helicopter to the nearest hospital, where he remains in a coma for four days. But somehow, minutes after he blacks out, he finds himself in Key West, Florida–rubbing shoulders with an aged Ernest Hemingway.
Hem has been sent back down to help determine whether or not Jack has what it takes to write a book for “The Main Man above the clouds.” But what Ernest doesn’t know is that the book is to be about him. And that its purpose is to change the world’s perception of the swaggering, hard-knuckled, macho myth he has become.
Over the next four days, Jack Phelan and Ernest Hemingway travel to the legendary author’s old haunts and meet up with many of his long gone friends. Some of these reunions are rollicking good times, others are highly emotional tests of strength. But wait. When their time together comes to an end, the story is still not over. That’s when things really get interesting.

Aurora ‘Rori’ Sinclair could not understand what she had done to annoy the handsome chef. Letting her roommate talk her into taking this class so close to graduation was a bad idea. The dislike she read in Chef MacRae’s actions confirmed her mistake. Not only was she facing the pressure of her graduate art show but now this enigmatic man had invaded her life. Unfortunately she found herself fighting a losing battle with attraction. Marcus was fascinating, and according to their mutual friends, not really a mean guy.
Would Rori be able to keep her attraction secret long enough to survive the class? Would Marcus be willing to admit his feelings in time to keep her from walking out of his life forever? Could God actually use ‘love at first sight’ to bring two people together?

CURLY BILL AND RINGO
Why did the legendary gunfighter, Ringo, come to Boot Hill? Rumors and innuendo ignite the small frontier town.
Did the wealthy rancher, Willy Gibson, hire him to combat the cattle rustlers? Was he here to even up some old grudges? Or to hunt down the men who tried to kill him?
Miss Sarah, the most beautiful woman in town, seemed in a much different mood after he checked in at the hotel where she worked.
Curly Bill knew who he was, or thought he should, since they rode together for a time. Curly also remembered that around Ringo, you always watched for signs of trouble, if you were smart.
“Would you mind telling me why you’re in Boot Hill, when you’re supposed to be in hell?” Curly asks.
Ringo glanced at him out of those cold clear blue eyes. “I came back,” he said quietly. “I got lonesome down there. Kept thinking about some fellows I should have taken with me.”

The Civil war divided the country and tore families apart. After the war, two half brothers became legendary gunfighters and cowboys in the old West–and deadly enemies.
Rubeck’s Raiders, a confederate army unit, were so brutal, even their own army disowned them. When the leaders’ son and paramour were killed one night, he knew it was one of his own men. A man hunt that spanned 10 years ensued.
The murdered girls’ younger sister saw a face in the window that horrible night, and swore to track her sister’s killer down. She hires trained killers to hunt him so she can get her revenge.
That’s how both half brothers became two of the most wanted men in the old West.
Changing names and identities, moving from frontier town to frontier town, hiding out – all became a way of life, along with having to fight for their lives at almost every turn.
One half brother knew he did it. The other was blamed for it. One didn’t want anything to do with the other. The other was protecting him.
They are all in one deadly pursuit to get him first.

Andy Smithson: Blast of the Dragon’s Fury, Book 1 by L. R. W. Lee
Genre(s): Animals, Fairy Tales, Folk Tales & Myths, Dragons, Travel & Cultures, Royalty, People & Places
P raise for Andy Smithson: Blast of the Dragon’s Fury (Book One)
“I LOVED it! Totally hooked and want to hear more. When’s the sequel coming out?” – Book Reviewer
“As far as Andy Smithson knows, he is a more-or-less ordinary 10-year-old boy, neglected by his overachieving parents and annoyed by his pampered older sister. What he doesn’t know is that he is also the latest in a line of rulers of the land of Oomaldee and the one destined to save that kingdom from a curse put on it 500 years before Andy’s birth. Andy is magically pulled into Oomaldee while washing dishes one evening, and the adventure begins–an adventure that includes fire-breathing dragons, a lisping wizard, flying horses, people-eating giants, and many new and delightful friends.
The story has plenty of exciting moments and a great deal of humor, from fart jokes and silly wordplay to more subtle humor that should appeal to adult readers. Delightful characters, exciting moments, and plenty of cool extras.” – SP Reviews
“The humor is visible and the book has many clever touches. The characters are believable… in this multi-layered story. A well-thought-through plot and vivid characters and situations.”
– Editor, A Woman’s Write

Zen and Sex (a Romantic Comedy) by Dermot Davis
Genre(s): Humor & Entertainment, Humor, Love, Sex & Marriage, Literature & Fiction
M artin is a 24 year old guy who falls in love with a 38 year old woman. He has to grow so fast emotionally that he feels like he just got hit by a speeding bus.Not only is Frances fourteen years Martin’s senior, but she’s all about putting Zen into relationship, which involves every guy’s worst nightmare: talking about your feelings, being conscious of your thoughts and above all, unabashed, honest communication at all times. Martin has no idea what he is getting himself into and the sharp learning curve that’s required of him especially when he’s in the mood for sex and she wants Zen.”This is a short book but contains multitudes. The hero, Martin, is in despair about his ability to maintain a long-term relationship. After a number of failed match-making attempts he finally falls into a relationship with an older woman. At first leery, he realises that the age-gap doesn’t matter and goes headlong into the relationship. The book examines what happens when two real people try to negotiate a relationship where each is uncertain about themselves and their feelings. Dermot Davis writes Martin from the first-person perspective, and this gives him the opportunity to delve the depths and scale the heights of Martin’s roller-coaster. He writes affectionately and – it seems to me – accurately about the mental contortions that ‘real’ people go through as they work on their relationships. I’d recommend this book to anyone who’s experienced failure and success in their romantic life. You’ll recognise your feelings and the feelings of other people as they’re acted out. You’ll experience the frustration of dealing with a partner who seems to change his or her mind about how he or she feels. And you’ll laugh copiously at Martin’s attempts to find a way of having a real relationship with a real woman without giving up any essential parts of his own persona.” – Keith Dixon, author

As the only child of wealthy Dallas executives, it appears that a life of trustafarian ease is his birthright. All those expectations are upended, however, the day he is summoned to the hospital bed of his friend (and fellow English three-speed enthusiast), Morgan Davies. Professor Davies has a secret to share: he once was a time traveler. He also has a task for his young friend: Miles is to travel back in time to 1928, and across the sea to England. Once there, he is to find “a girl with a gift, a girl born out of her time” and a “secret that was not meant to be” and then return home with them both. Miles must first find the courage to pass through the strange portal in the Vermont woods that will launch him on this mission, and then to face down a series of do-or-die crises (including a crisis of confidence). He must also navigate the low-tech, class-bound world of England in 1928 while keeping his true identity a secret. Miles’ quest for the girl and the secret carries him from a great estate in England’s beautiful countryside to London’s jazz-age cabarets, and from terrified boy to heroic young man.

The All Souls’ Waiting Room: A Black Comedy about Karma and Killing Yourself by Paki S. Wright
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Genre Fiction, Coming of Age, Religion & Spirituality, New Age, Reincarnation
W hy would a gorgeous, smart-mouthed, eighteen-year-old girl named Johnnine Hapgood — raised by free-loving followers of the controversial psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich (inventor of the orgone energy accumulator and the cloud-buster) — try to kill herself? What lessons does she have to learn about karma and reincarnation? And what are the consequences of suicide?
Floating away from her tenement apartment in New York’s Greenwich Village — for which, she knows, new tenants were already lining up — a near-death, out-of-body experience lands Johnnine in the infinitely vast All Souls’ Waiting Room, where all souls go for re-routing in between lives.
Because of her adolescent depression, Johnnine ends up in an All Souls’ version of old Vienna — to face the very things she’s been trying to escape from, a hard look at her early life, when she was caught up in a web of adult intrigues. Xofia, the gravel-voiced essence of feminine wisdom, chides her. “You think the universe went to all the trouble of creating you just so you could off yourself?”
Johnnine has to confront the querulous shades of Wilhelm Reich, Sigmund Freud, and Carl Jung, who continue their earthly jousting in an attempt to save her. Reich favors sex as a cure-all, Jung favors art, and Freud favors dreams. They try to practice their separate brands of therapy on Johnnine’s suicidal ideas but can barely contain their animosity towards each other, especially when they all fall for long-limbed Xofia.
The Akashic Recorder tries to teach Johnnine that there is no such thing as death. “You only get one body per life, you know,” the Recorder says. “You happen to have a good one, but whatever damage is done to it in a suicide attempt is what you’ll have to live with, when or if you return.”
Is Johnnine destined to become a teen suicide? Can she find her desire for life after a disastrously chaotic, unloving childhood? Without love or spirituality, she wonders, what was the “point” of living? Will she get a ticket for a “p.d.,” or premature departure, (otherwise known as a youthful suicide attempt) or will she be sent back to her bohemian life in Greenwich Village?
Maybe yes, maybe no, but not without a surprising Life Review, witnessed by Jung, Freud, and Reich — as well as Xofia, five musical cherubs, and the mysterious, all-knowing Akashic Recorder.

How many cops does it take to stop a soul reaving sorcerer?
MICHAEL PRIM
Michael Prim is a hard charging beat cop soon to be thrust into a world of dark magic. He has always been a bit of a freak: different, strange, and always needing to prove himself. His last memories of his father were of bedtime stories–the mercenary war, dragon slaying, and demon fighting variety. He knows how to come down hard on wife beaters, pedophiles, and cop killing drug lords, but nothing has prepared him for the sorcerer who is coming for his soul.
KEITH MARIN
Keith Marin takes a new prostitute under his wing and tries to protect her, because she continually winds up in the gutter raped, tortured, and clutching a strange jar with a preternatural magnetism. He begins a dangerous dance with the sorcerer who has found his way to Blue Point, and discovers people from all walks of life who are slaves to the soul jars and little more than zombies. When two homeless layabouts who frequent his beat turn up driving a BMW, wearing tailored silk suits, and carrying serious firepower, Marin takes his investigation to the next level.
NICOLE SIMMONS
Nicole Simmons has come out of hiding and reinvented herself–as a rookie cop. She begins to doubt her choice as soon as she is assigned to a training officer who is the archenemy of her kind. She should kill him and disappear again, but she had hoped this time would be different.
DRAGON BADGE
Michael Prim does what any good cop would do after discovering a soul reaving sorcerer is hunting on his beat, he goes to war, even as hellhounds and Rashfellen warriors come after him. He gets a little help from his friends–a tough as nails veteran and a zombie like prostitute who holds a soul trapped in a magical jar–but when the apocalypse comes, there is only his most hated enemy, the gang member who murdered his partner, to stand against Travass Isegurad and his demons.

If you enjoy the action of Robert Ludlum, the intensity of Brad Thor and the international intrigue of Daniel Silva, then this book’s for you!
Ex-British Special Forces soldier Thomas Gunn is drawn back into his old life of international intrigue and danger following the murder of his billionaire father. The deeper he digs the more complicated the puzzle becomes until he finds himself working for MI5 uncovering a global conspiracy that puts the freedom of the western world at grave risk. His girlfriend Julie becomes his accomplice surprising him with her loyalty, strength of character and physical prowess.

Seeking the final answer could cost Thomas dearly, ripping from him all that he most loves and cherishes and leaving him questioning his past, his future and what kind of person he is or wants to become. The final outcome depends on him. Or does it?
As a former Captain of Britain’s elite Parachute Regiment and son of an MI6 operative the author brings his own unique and eye-opening experiences to the character and exploits of Thomas Gunn, as well as an unsettling blurring of the lines between fiction and reality when exploring the ruthless abuse of power and position for personal gain.

“It was funny and irreverant like Wallbanger, but deep and moving like Barbara Elsbourg’s Strangers. That is a tough mix to pull off. I should warn you though, this book should come with a surgeon general’s warning: ‘Do not start this book if you have any where to be, anything to do or need to pretend to be remotely interested in conversations with breathing human beings that are not currently also reading this book.’ Enjoy!” — Amazon reader review
“Random Acts of Crazy one of the best if not the best books I’ve read in a long time. Could not put it down. I laugh so hard my side hurt. Thank God I didn’t pee myself!! Congratulations on such an awesome read.” — Goodreads reader review
“Be warned, this is not your mother’s romance. It’s hard and gritty and smacks you in the face like that burst of heat when you first open an oven door, which is exactly what makes it a refreshing change from a typical sticky sweet love story.” — Featured Staff Pick from Cat at All Romance eBooks
Description:
I never intended to pick up a naked hitchhiker wearing nothing but a guitar. A guitar. Really. I don’t collect guys like that (don’t ask what kind of guys I do collect), but when you spot a blonde, tanned, sculpted man with a gorgeous smile and his thumb poking up and practically begging you to stop – you stop.
And I definitely never thought I’d be staring into the bright blue eyes of Trevor Connor, the lead singer for Random Acts of Crazy, an indie rock star I followed like the slobbering fileshare fangirl I am. How he came to be nude and lost six hundred miles from home is quite the tale, but how we fell in love is even more unreal.
Because someone like Trevor Connor, headed to Harvard Law next year, isn’t supposed to want someone like me, a rural Ohio chick majoring in Boredom at Convenience Store University who is all curves and frizzy blonde hair and manners so unpolished they have sharp edges that make you bleed.
But he did.
When his best friend, Joe Ross, the bass player for Random Acts of Crazy and a man who makes Calvin Klein models look like Shrek, drove eleven hours through the night to rescue him, though, it got real complicated. It’s one thing to like two different guys and be torn.
What do you do, though, when maybe – just maybe – you don’t have to choose?
As my Aunt Josie says sometimes, “It’s always complicated.”

I n a hypothetical landscape men earn the right to choose, to abort their role as father, with grace and social standing, through a process called “male abortion.”
Abortee, Klamath Sanders, wants a father more than anything, but her obsession shifts when she spots serial abortionist Jonathan Parker on the local news. Parker, a self-proclaimed artist, creator of human beings, tours the country midst mobs of swooning supporters and impassioned critics and sermonizes the merits of life without guilt. Fatherhood is only an idea, after all. The definitive lines separating right and wrong, idea and thing begin to blur as Klamath builds her life around the search of one nonexistent father. Klamath involves, among many, Oleg, a disgruntled and ailing nursing home resident, Jerome, a paranoid pastor-in-training, and Eliza, a comely, naive southern belle in her decade-long effort to decide whether Jonathan Parker deserves to live or die.

NASTRAGULL (Pirates) by Erik Martin Will%C3%A9n
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Science Fiction & Fantasy, Science Fiction, Space Opera
N ASTRAGULL: Pirates (Volume 1).
As a tight-knit group of human cadets heads home after eight years of military training, their interstellar transport, Bright Star, comes under attack by pirates–and after a bloody battle, they’re taken prisoner. One of the cadets, Alec Horn, eventually manages to escape with the Bright Star’s captain and an emperor’s ransom in loot. Together, they set out on a harrowing adventure to rescue their friends and comrades.
There are just two minor complications: during Alec’s captivity, he “awakened” to the voice of the universe, Nastra–and worse, he fell madly in love with a young pirate woman, Alexa. Theirs is a forbidden love, one that will soon embroil everyone and everything they know in the madness of the Third Universal War.
Meanwhile, at the opposite end of the known universe, a creature that has hibernated for thousands of years rises from her long rest: the ruthless alien known as Marquessa De La Hoff, history’s most feared military commander.
Alec and Hoff are linked by an intricate network of fate, history, and destiny. As they learn much later, Nastra speaks to us all; everyone hears it, but few actually listen. The day you do listen to the universe and the words of its parent–the creator, GULL–is the day you have “awakened” to your full potential.
Only Alec and Hoff are currently “awake.” Neither understands what’s happening, though each is gradually becoming aware of the other–and of what Nastra is trying to tell them. But for its own mysterious reasons, the universe cannot allow more than one listener at a time. Therefore, it prepares to birth a messiah: the NASTRAGULL, a child who must set the universal balance right…lest the universe cease to exist altogether.

Outcomerun – Positivity gives you the Edge by Eoin Ryan
Genre(s): Self-Help, Happiness, Self-Esteem
H ow does Positivity give you the Edge?
Allow me to prove it by simply using the opposite. Do this experiment now: I want you to tell yourself repeatedly: ‘I am utterly useless and I am guaranteed 100% to fail’. Make it worse by adding this to the end: ‘and everyone knows it…’ Say it at least 10 times out loud. [Start now] Did you feel vibrant and full of energy saying it? Did you continue all the way to 10? I bet most of you didn’t say it out loud…? For those of you who didn’t do it at all – did the thoughts of saying it make you feel too uncomfortable? No problem. If it’s any consolation, I felt terrible writing it.
Outcomerun – Positivity gives you the Edge is an antidote to negativity. The exaggerated experiment you just did is a played up representation of how many people view themselves. The feelings you experienced link to your thoughts and reverberate through your body. Change your thoughts and habits and you will change how you feel about yourself.
Outcomerun through the 7 Pillars will bring you on a journey towards greater Positivity and you’ll become more active. It is a unique self-development book that works on both the mind and the body. We know they are linked, so why not work on both simultaneously?
Become the Positive person you really want to be while getting fitter. Healthy body – healthy mind.

The Way Is a River of Stars: A Buddhist’s Journey Through Northern Spain on the Camino Pilgrim Route by Helen Burns
Genre(s): Religion & Spirituality, Spirituality, Travel, Europe, Spain, General, Specialty Travel, Literary & Religious
I n a memoir of saints, sages, and swollen ankles, Helen walks across the Catholic heartland of Northern Spain. Her chosen route is the picturesque Camino Way, a Christian pilgrimage revered since medieval times. Ancient towns and villages, each with a distinct culture and cuisine, mark the way.
Memories and miles intertwine, spanning not only the countryside but also her Christian upbringing and later life as a Buddhist. What is it that compels her into the cathedrals and rustic churches she finds during her month-long journey?
‘Just as I walked from Roncesvalles to Santiago de Compostela – a different woman now to the one who began – I also travelled from one religion to another. Perhaps I put on pilgrim boots to better understand the message of each – the verbs of their prayers – what it means to engage with life, the joys of aloneness and the delights of company.’
Through recollections of meditation retreats, monasteries in Burma and encounters with the gilded Saints and Madonnas of Spanish cathedrals, Helen contemplates the heart of two religions, in her quest for deeper meanings that can unite us all.
