She needed a nanny. I needed a lead actress. Somehow I became The Manny. Secrets and lies are a killer way to start any partnership -- especially a horizontal one. Now, I'm a glass half full kinda of guy, so, after the 'you're fired' speech was directed at me, I figure now's the time to be the screenwriter I came to sunny California to be. Unfortunately, there are about as many people trying to sell a script in L.A. as there are vegans in the pacific northwest. But lucky for me, a few weeks ago my agent found an investor for my script. Hooray, all my problems are solved! NOT. Because the investor will only agree to fund my film if I use one specific actress. And that one specific actress? Well of course, it just has to be the same actress I screwed over only months before. But she doesn't need to know about that one tiny detail, does she? All that matters is getting her to agree to do the film and I'll do whatever it takes. We can leave the past, in the past, right? I thought my charm would win her over. Never would I have been prepared for the terms she laid out on the table.

It's the year 2004 A.D. Juandre At twenty-two, my existence was crusty. It was a Friday afternoon when I was racing like the Red Queen down the interstate from New York to Lexington, Kentucky, feeling like I would never reach my destination and, simultaneously, reluctant to start my life as a straight-married man and a father-to-be. When I crossed the bridge at the Ohio River, I swung my sexy sports car over to the first R&G (rainbow and glitter) establishment for a martini or three. One olive turned into several before I returned to the highway, wired and waving off my newfound besties, whom I will probably never see again. Their enthusiastic motivational pep talks convinced me to take a chance, find the man of my dreams and ask for what I wanted.

But one of them goes a step too far, and his friend Heath Lerner suggests hiring Mortimer Security, seeing as how he won't let go of the investigation. Harley Manning thinks that being a journalist and investigating corruption tips can lead to threats. She doesn't think it's a big deal. Then she meets Dylan Dearing, she learns more about his work, and she knows she has to keep an eye over him while he gets to the bottom of things.

He had received an anonymous email telling him to look into specific contracts, although it wasn't easy to tell who had been the only -- if there was only one -- politician involved in the actual crimes. While he had been quick to assess the scoop and deem it investigation-worthy, what had put the final nail on the coffin had been another anonymous email telling him to forget the story. He had scoffed and decided then and there that he would get to the bottom of things. As he returned ...

"It was great to see empowerment surfacing out of dark places."-Gumiho Reviews "Twists and unexpected turns keep you breathless"-Amazon reviewer ? ? ? Who's afraid of the big bad wolf? I didn't expect my life to fall apart, nor did I expect to inherit my grandmother's cabin in the woods. Now I'm deep in Dream Hill forest, alone, making art and tending to my wounds. A peaceful vacation. Or at least it would be, if it weren't for the hulking, gardening, bee-keeping jerk next door. He's always in my business, in my thoughts, even in my dreams. With his dark glares, blues guitar, and sly grins-he's disturbingly sexy. Yet he's also the most mysterious and strange person I've ever met. Especially when his eyes glow amber. The more I get to know him and the sleepy, spooky town of Dream Hill, the more I'm sucked into a world I can't make sense of. Forbidden forests, people gone missing, dream-travelling, mind control... the exact opposite of what I expected. The truth of it all will change me forever, and my elusive neighbour holds the key. ? ? ? Author's note: This book contains darker scenes of graphic violence, SA, and past child abuse.

Luke may be young but he's been around. He knows exactly what he wants to do with his life: to make his loved ones proud and then to end it.

All they have to do is find a killer roaming the cosmos and save a planet from destruction. How hard could it possibly be?

Margin Street Zeros - the complete series: Ye Gods And Little Wishes; God Riddance; Godlings; Demiurges. by Robin Banks (7 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

My family is pretty simple, when you get used to it. There's me, Frankie, Ben, and AK. Frankie and I are with each other, and Ben and AK are with each other, but not like that. They don't want to be with each other like that, though, so it's cool, even though it took me a while to get used to it. Ben and I are best friends, and so are Ben and Frankie. Frankie and AK are also good friends, largely because Frankie is the friendliest person ever and a natural wonder, but AK is pretty cool, too. AK and I don't always get on, but we try.I like people of all genders, and so did Frankie, but now that we're together they really only like me. Ben also thought that he liked me, but that's because he hadn't got himself quite figured out. I like Ben a lot, but not like I like Frankie, and that used to be super awkward until we straightened it all out. AK doesn't really like anyone - not like that, anyway. Mostly he likes sci-fi, brewing his own booze, and chilling. Somehow, it all works out. We're all university students, but AK isn't actualy enrolled, because he doesn't legally exist. We live in our house because a librarian rescued me from a snow storm. We have three semi-domesticated raccoons, but that's not really our fault; they lost the ability to speak, and now we feel responsible for them. Oh, and Frankie can spot lies and teleport, and they could technically break reality, but they don't want to, so that's not an issue. We can all open magical portals, and AK is the god of turnips, but we don't hold that against him. It's all good, really. This is the story of how we got there.
