The Vietnamese living overseas are a special group of people. We are a people without a land. But, that doesn't mean we don't have a culture.

The I Am Vietnamese anthology aims to inspire and connect those like us to provide a sense of community while we struggle on own personal journeys, and to remind to us that we are not alone. We share the same hardships -- overprotective parents, the inability to communicate, the struggle to incorporate western and eastern ideals, and the fear of disappointing others. As we read personal accounts of those like us, we feel inspired, connected, and like we belong. DISCLAIMER: Media content will be available only on restricted kindle devices/applications.

MYTHS by Erika Price (English Prime Press) (34 Reviews)    Price verified 7 minutes ago

Hera was a gorgeous megab*tch, but she was fantastic at Scrabble. Aphrodite was just jealous. Salome was a Toddler in a Tiara, Athena was cute in a spunky, Ellen Page kinda way, and Scheherazade was an attention-starved blogger. Persephone and Hades were only on a trial separation. Pandora just opened the box because she was hella bored. In this short story collection by Erika Price (author of Corpus Callosum), gods and goddesses from bygone eras are reimagined as hilarious contemporary analogues and released on a hapless modern world. The result is a frenetic, rip-roarious send-up of modern feminism, psychotherapy, relationship dynamics, and socioeconomic exchange. In MYTHS, new creation stories are laid down, the world is destroyed and created anew, and the more things change, the more petty human nature stays the same.

Break the Sky: Archer & Kelsey (Starting Over Book 1) by Nina Lane (Snow Queen Publishing) (632 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

I chase tornadoes -- literally. And being a female scientist in my field means I need to be on my game at all times. Unshakable. Serious. Yes, even a little bitchy. The last thing I expect is a hot, intense biker like Archer West blazing into town and wanting a wild and reckless fling withme. Thanks to my not-so-squeaky past, I can't afford any missteps at this point in my career. Translation: I have to keep the hell away from charming, dirty-talking, bad boy rebels like him. Not just because he's an irresistible temptation, but also because he's the estranged brother of a colleague. Unfortunately, it becomes abundantly clear the stubborn man has no intention of giving up, even if that means following me right into the eye of a storm. And while he may just be the only human on earth who seems to get me, he's also the only one capable of making me lose control. I'm not actually sure which terrifies me more... or what'll break me first. New 2020 edition! NOTE: This is a standalone novel starring Archer, the brother of Dean West from the Spiral Trilogy. Reading Dean's trilogy first isn't at all required to enjoy Archer and Kelsey's story. But, doing so will mean you get to meet TWO hunky, swoony West brothers (so, yay! lol). Happy reading!

She was ready to leave the one-room bavith she had shared with her family since birth, at the outskirts of Jerusalem, to wed her betrothed. She would learn to love Joel, she was sure of it. All they needed was time. And then, strolling along the River Jordan with her young nephew, she came across a scene which would change her life. John the Baptist was talking with a man who radiated serenity. The visions seared her soul. A baptism - a dove - and a watching Roman legionnaire with steady eyes like a wolf's. When Joel grabbed her arm and scolded her for straying from her path, she had that sense. That sense that nothing would ever be the same. River Jordan is Book 1 of a gently cliff-hangered short story series. The sequence will lead up to a happily ever after ending. The series is clean romance and is suitable for all ages.

The Break (The Tory Fantasy Novels Book 2) by Sean Gabb (The Hampden Press) (10 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

This novel is a right-wing satirical fantasy set in the near future. Imagine: Our own modern England - a land of disarmed and moronised citizen-serfs, tyrannised over by a crumbling police state - has been lifted straight out of the present and dropped into the world of 1065. In mainland Great Britain and three hundred yards all about, it's business as usual. Or it's business as usual if you ignore the third of the population that has starved to death or been murdered by the authorities; and if you overlook endemic shortages, and trigger-happy police, and omnipresent propaganda. Oh, but this is the new business as usual - the business as usual arguably deserved by the sheeple who have survived. Outside this happy zone, it's 1065. Normans. Lords in their castles. The Catholic Church. Everyone is watching. Everyone is mindful of the vast new power dropped unaccountably where the land of King Edward had been. Though with weaker firepower, everyone is more intelligent and resourceful than the enfeebled slaves dropped into this new world. The story is told through the eyes of two main characters. There is Jennifer, a young English girl whose parents were running a smuggling racket into France before they were lifted. There is Michael, part of a Byzantine diplomatic mission sent over to spy out any help for their crumbling empire. They are brought together by apparently chance events. Together, they must stay alive while taking on an insanely villainous British Government. It's an odd sort of novel, no doubt. And it was written before Brexit or the Coronavirus panic or the Ukraine War. Even so, there are enough reviews underneath this blurb for you to decide for yourselves if this is the sort of novel you'll enjoy. All I can add is this comment from some swinish agent who refused to offer the book to one of the increasingly useless publishers: "I'll never pass through Oxford Circus again without a shudder."

Roasts and Toasts Stolen from the All-Time Great Comedians: A Book of Revelations by Steffy Sota (Numeracy Press) (4 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

I am a ghost writer. After heart valve replacement surgery in August of 2004, I suffered a small stroke and slipped into a coma. I died from surgical complications on October 5, 2004, in Westwood, California at the age of 82. In life, I wore a rumpled suit with one hand perpetually loosening my trademark red necktie. I took the stage as a hapless, self-deprecating Everyman slapped around by life and searching in vain for acceptance. After seeing the Francis Ford Coppola movie The Godfather in 1972, I came up with a new angle that would reshape my routine. All I heard was the word "respect." I thought to myself: It sounds like a funny image -- a guy who gets no respect. In 1995, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences rejected my application for membership. A letter from Roddy McDowall of the actors branch explained that I had failed to execute enough of the kinds of roles that allow a performer to demonstrate the mastery of his craft. It was the ultimate rejection, but I played it to the hilt. I had established my own website, and my fans used it to express their indignation. The public reaction prompted the Academy to reverse itself and offer membership. I declined. I was a rarity among comedians in the late 20th century -- I remained a one-liner comic of the old school whose best work was done before a live audience. I'm sure you remember some of my best one-liners: I tell ya, my wife, we get along good cause we have our own arrangement. I mean, one night a week I go out with the boys, and one night a week she goes out with the boys. Last week I told my wife, "If you would learn to cook, I could fire the chef." She said, "If you could learn to make love, I could fire the chauffeur." When I was born, the doctor came out to the waiting room and said to my father, "I'm very sorry. We did everything we could, but he pulled through." My psychiatrist told me I'm crazy. I told him "If you don't mind, I'd like a second opinion." He said "Alright, you're ugly, ...

That man had a hold on her that became a lifelong obsession for both of them. For her in particular, it was quite the rocky road. Try as she might, she was never able to balance the scales. Did all the good times with him outweigh the bad, or was it the reverse? Had he ever intended to give her the life he'd promised her for decades? It was so vitally important to her to be able to give her daughter the life Valerie believed she deserved, with a mother and a father, perhaps a sibling or two, and maybe even a house they could call their own. After many disappointments, Valerie had put that man aside for a while, and filled her life with other highly rewarding experiences with family and friends. Ultimately, however, she couldn't stay away from him. It wasn't until she crossed paths with a man unlike any she'd ever imagined she'd meet that Valerie was finally able to see what she'd been missing for so long.

Armed with the task of stepping out of her comfort zone by her therapist, Blakely quickly realizes that fresh mountain air, roommate chore charts, and Tucker Greyson, the annoyingly handsome housemate she didn't bargain for, might not fix her broken ego. Finding herself stuck in between a surreal episode of The Bachelor run by the Greyson Gap Golden Girls brigade, and her hunky housemate wanting to be friends with benefits, Blakely discovers she kind of likes the simpler life -- going camping, catching fish, wearing hiking boots, and, perhaps, falling in love.

He hatches a plan to drive her perfectionist sensibilities into overdrive and out of his house. What he doesn't expect is to fall for her. He tells himself to keep it simple and not let his heart get involved, but when Blakely gets called back to her old life, Tucker realizes he has more to lose than just a summer roommate.

Lost men with nothing more to lose but every instinct in them to right the wrongs in their lives -- and even in the lives of others -- and push forward toward some semblance of normalcy, if such a thing still exists.
