Book excerpt: Wynn Johnson takes us on a journey of discovery through his fascinating life starting with his childhood in rural Kentucky in the mid-1950s through to the early 1990s in Columbus. His childhood alongside his large family is adventurous but filled with the simple pleasures of a rural village life. His neighbourhood is bursting with interesting and quirky characters, with lots of tales to tell. However, the tumultuous decade of the 1960s with its space travel, political drama, the Vietnam War, and exciting new music, has a disquieting effect on Wynn. After experiencing a brief first love, Wynn hops a train to find work with his brother in Ohio. Despite a regular job at a factory, Wynn still dreams of travel and adventure. We follow his story as he experiences a tough initiation into the Marines and then as he moves on and starts his own business. Along the way, we meet a whole cast of vibrant characters from moonshiners, bootleggers and thieves to the kind and honourable people who have defined his life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A swift-paced, fun romp.” –Charlaine Harris, New York Times bestselling author Romance is about to get a little hairy. Sophie Garou seems to have it all: a great job at a prestigious accounting firm, a closet that rivals a Nordstrom showroom, and a terrific boyfriend who isn’t afraid to use the “M” word. There’s just one little itty-bitty problem: Sophie is a werewolf–and her time of month has a whole new meaning. Needless to say, life among yummy flesh-and-blood humans is no piece of steak . . . er, cake!, but regular doses of wolfsbane tea and a mother who runs a magic shop have helped Sophie keep her paranormal pedigree under wraps. Still, when a sexy, golden-eyed werewolf prowls into town, Sophie finds herself struggling to keep her animal impulses in check–not to mention trying to keep things on track with her super hot (and super human) lawyer boyfriend. What’s more, someone is threatening to expose Sophie for what she really is. And when her mother is accused of selling a poison-laced potion, Sophie must sniff out a culprit before the fur hits the fan.
