Josh Kowalski is tired of holding down the fort—better known as the Northern Star Lodge—while his siblings are off living their dreams. Now that his oldest brother has returned to Whitford, Maine for good, Josh is free to chase some dreams of his own. As the daughter of the lodge’s longtime housekeeper, Katie Davis grew up alongside the Kowalski kids. Though she’s always been “one of the guys”, her feelings for Josh are anything but sisterly. And after a hot late-night encounter in the kitchen, it’s clear Josh finally sees her as the woman she is. Katie’s been waiting years for Josh to notice her, but now that he has, she’s afraid it’s too late. Giving her heart to a man who can’t wait to leave town is one sure way to have it broken. But Josh keeps coming up with excuses not to leave—could it be that everything he’s ever wanted is closer than he could have imagined?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The raw, uplifting, and unforgettable memoir from the CEO and president of the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence chronicling her personal battle against abuse, violence, and even a murder attempt. Ruth M. Glenn wasn’t surprised the first time her husband beat her. She was hurt and disappointed but after a childhood in a broken and violent home, she was not surprised. After all, this was just the way things were, right? It was only after she lay bleeding in a carwash parking lot, after being shot three times by him, that Glenn resolved—if she managed to survive—to spend the rest of her life standing up to domestic violence. Now, she brings her full story to the forefront with this survivor’s tale crossed with a rousing call to action. She reveals her difficult but ultimately rewarding journey from that parking lot to sacrificing everything to obtain her advanced degrees. With her evocative and thoughtful voice, Glenn explores the dynamics of domestic violence, why women and children are seen as lesser in our society, how to stop victim-blaming, and how to demystify domestic violence to stop it once and for all. A memoir of resilience and courage, Everything I Never Dreamed is a necessary book that proves that abuse does not have to define a survivor’s entire life.

This book was released on with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I wrote 10 books about love, but maybe someone should come to forbidden me … the right of speaking about the subject. Cause to be honest … i was writing so much about it … but … i don’t really know what love is. When i was personally involved … i was blind. I was not seeing clear absolutely anything at all. Most probably … being so, so … deep … in those stories … i did not had the ability to see everything detached and … it all became illusory for my mind. And i had so contradictory … perceptions. But one day … someone told me an interesting story … about how he got all what he wanted in his life … except love. This story made me decide to start writing a new book about the subject … but from a new perspective. This time i was the one that watch the play … like a spectator. I was looking at him. … but also at her. I was not interested to analyze more …. one of the sides … but only and only … the connection between those souls. My new friend started to tell me more and more about his life … and the paradox that even if he succeeded to get from life all he ever dreamed … he could not see any joy at all for himself. There was no reason for him to smile or …. to be happy. His face was always sending to everyone the impression of a profound … unhappiness. But one day … the guy … which by the way was a married person … met an amazing lady … and asked her to be his … love teacher. He could not say it from the beginning … but the next second he had this opportunity …. he found the guts to say it. And the funny thing was that she said … yes. She accepted the fact that he was married … cause there was no other chance to be together for the present moment. So … they started the lesson. Brian … this was his real name … was telling me new and new details. Many times i was simple smiling … not really knowing how to define the 2 of them, but later i realize that Carla was in the same position as him. She tried many times to find the happiness. The Universe sent in her life so, so many men … but all of those relationships looked like …. what we could name as …. pathless paths. This time … with this guy Brian …. all looked different. And he really wanted to understand what love is about. He came to me … confessing about his amazing story with Carla … and we were wondering … why the hell we had to learn so, so many things in school, but never about … love. His relationship with Carla became kind of a therapy. A weird one … but even if it was a slow process …. my friend Brian started to feel like a … different person. He was visiting her in her small studio, spending so, so many hours together … kissing her, discussing together … but also making love. She was teaching him … the tremendous power of touch … the meaning of feelings … and how love can heal our souls. Everyday … was a new lesson. She was his therapist … but liking her so, so much … and falling in love with her … he became her therapist also. In the night he was coming back at home …. and he was meditating more and more of what he was doing. Had no regret that he was cheating his wife, cause the connection itself was broken by a long, long time. And he loved this kind of … therapy. Everyday … he wanted to spend more and more time with her. Her energy … all that love felt while being into her arms … even if there were moments when they simple practiced the silence …. was making him feel cured. I was analyzing them … more and more …. until one day when i had the chance to meet her also. And i had the same feeling regarding Carla … that she was also having therapy with my friend Brian. … love therapy. Now … i was looking from outside at all this … and … i actually saw my stories. … all my love stories. I was analyzing and defining them … but i was trying to understand my stories and my way of acting from the past. It all became so damn clear now. Looking at Brian and Carla … i suddenly understood that all i was doing into my past …. In all the love stories … was to heal my soul. I needed … therapy also. But i was afraid of following a classic way …. at a regular therapist. All needed to be abstract … to hide the fact that i needed … to heal my broken soul. I smile realizing that all those partners … were my therapists …. Brian and Carla made me understand much clearer … my own story. And many others as them. Seeing detached … all those love stories …. defining them in my writings … little by little i started to understand what love is about … and its tremendous power.

Grotesque creatures roamed the land, wyverns filled the skies, and demonic, misshapen men plotted destruction and control. The strongest armies in existence stood no chance. In its current state, Oniro was lost. But the appearance of seven legendary heroes, along with the nearly defeated warriors of the Holy Order, saved mankind. From that day forward, the world remained relatively peaceful for five hundred years. However, on the continent of Dregnal, a new evil arises. The country of Entervia has been invaded by the North. While Entervia’s army marches to meet them, the barbarian clans of the South harass the citizenry, pillaging villages and killing innocents. With the North and the South bearing down, Entervia has only one option. Sigurd, a young man from Entervia’s capital, along with his lifelong friend Euwart, is tasked with forming a small resistance group to travel to the country of Ariglioth for reinforcements. Accompanied by Adrian, a guard captain, and Tristan, a long time friend of Euwart’s, the small force sets forward, walking a trail the common people hardly traverse. Little do they know, however, of the secrets they are about to uncover, of the mysteries long since buried beneath the soil, causing this seemingly simple task to be far more than they’d ever dreamed. . .

Book excerpt: A THRILLING REINVENTION OF THE VAMPIRE NOVEL BY THE MASTER OF MODERN FANTASY, GEORGE R. R. MARTIN Abner Marsh, a struggling riverboat captain, suspects that something’s amiss when he is approached by a wealthy aristocrat with a lucrative offer. The hauntingly pale, steely-eyed Joshua York doesn’t care that the icy winter of 1857 has wiped out all but one of Marsh’s dilapidated fleet; nor does he care that he won’t earn back his investment in a decade. York’s reasons for traversing the powerful Mississippi are to be none of Marsh’s concern—no matter how bizarre, arbitrary, or capricious York’s actions may prove. Not until the maiden voyage of Fevre Dream does Marsh realize that he has joined a mission both more sinister, and perhaps more noble, than his most fantastic nightmare—and humankind’s most impossible dream.
