Confetti and Lemon Blossom (Sicilian Stories) by Stefania Hartley (3 Reviews)    Price verified one minute ago

Ten short stories perfect for your coffee break. For Don Pericle, wedding organising is a calling, not just a career. Deep in the Sicilian countryside, between rose gardens and trellised balconies, up marble staircases and across damasked ballrooms, these charming stories unfold: stories of star-crossed love, of comedic misunderstandings and of deep friendships, of love triumphing in the face of adversity. To these brides and grooms-to-be, Don Pericle becomes a guru, a mentor, even a friend, solving problems, untangling knots, rearranging menus and transforming lives. Fishmongers and Ferrari drivers, dressmakers and divorcees, gardeners and grandmothers: within the walls of Villa Lingualarga, all are offered a new chance at understanding each other - and maybe even finding true love. Praise for Confetti and Lemon Blossom: A super read, and we all enjoyed the quirky, insightful style of storytelling -- The People's Friend editorial team What a lovely story - so sweet and funny. Don Pericle is such an interesting character - we all need someone like that in our lives! -- Ewan Smith, author of pocket novels, short stories and poems While there may be ups and downs, mishaps and misplacements in each wedding scenario, the basis of the entire book are love and relationships, which makes this a sweet and heartwarming book. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a relationship story, or collection of relationship stories from a slightly different perspective." -- LoveReading Ambassador

CREEP: A Short Psychological Thriller by William Cook (King Billy Publications) (85 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

A dark story of a young woman's date with death! CREEP is a short psychological thriller that will leave you on the edge of your seat. Serial Killers don't always get away with murder, no matter how hard they try. Includes bonus short story - Legacy. From CREEP: "Cassandra pounded on the window and frantically tried to push the rear doors open, first with her shoulders and then with her heels, to no avail. She peered into the dark confines of the garage and saw nothing except her frightened reflection looking back at her in the window, bathed in the dim yellow interior light of the cab. She cupped her neatly manicured hand across her brow and looked out the window again, her button nose touching the smeared glass as she did so. She thought she heard a deep growling noise somewhere nearby outside the cab and then her window was filled with bared teeth and the blackest, evil eyes, she'd ever seen. The huge head of the Rottweiler retreated into the shadows before launching itself back at the vehicle, the razor sharp canines crunching against the window and sending a trail of cracks across the glass. Steaming froth and saliva dripped down the webbed glass as the dog began to bark and thud its massive head against the side of the cab. Cassandra scuttled across the back seat as she wet herself, waves of fear shrinking her into a ball, as the crazed dog leaped at the cab again... " "William Cook tells a gruesome story with a sense of authenticity that makes you question with considerable unease if it really is fiction, after all." - Graham Masterton, author of The Manitou and Descendant "This man is simply scary. There is both a clinical thoroughness and a heartfelt emotional thoroughness to his writing. He manages to shock as well as empathize, to scare as well as acclimatize, yet beneath it all is a well read intelligence that demands to be engaged. I loved Blood Related.

The President Did Me From Behind And I Liked It (I Banged Book 1) by Raven Blackbird (7 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

26-year old Jessica Fox has loved and admired President Romeo Stryker ever since he ascended to the presidency 4 years ago. With the charisma of Bill Clinton, the rumored phallus-size of Barack Obama, and the sexual prowess of John Kennedy, President Stryker is God's gift to horny, politically-minded women. His oratory skills would always get Jessica all hot and bothered, and she occasionally masturbates to his speeches about world peace and nuclear disarmament. When Jessica is plucked from obscurity to interview the president two weeks before election night (where he will presumably cruise to an easy landslide re-election victory), she ascends to cloud nine. But never in Jessica's wildest dreams did she ever think she'd get a chance to mount Stryker's 10-inch presidential staff. When the president hints that he'd be open to a sexual encounter in the Lincoln Bedroom (where the ghost of Abe Lincoln has been known to watch its occupants engage in a little hanky-panky), Jessica begins a fiery romance with the most powerful man on Earth. In essence, Jessica bangs the president... and she likes it. This is the first erotica short story in the "I Banged" series, featuring sultry and fiery journalist-turned-sexual-deviant Jessica Fox. One day she's banging the president, the next day she's riding Santa Claus, the day after that she's getting eaten out by Big Foot. Admit it, you're mighty jealous of all the banging Jessica does. (Except, of course, when Jessica has sex with an inter-dimensional demon from Hell. Even she has to admit that's a bit weird.)

Jim Rogan is an agent of the Tolerance Bureau - the Woke police. The Bureau is the new federal agency empowered to make sure no one's feelings ever get hurt again. Offend too many people on social media, dare to question politically correct orthodoxy, and the Bureau will come looking for you. That's where Jim Rogan comes in. His job is to drag such offenders away in the night, and make sure they get incarcerated in a federal re-education center for sensitivity and diversity training. Jim really believes in his job, he really believes he's doing what's best for the insensitive "bigots" he arrests - that they are getting the re-education they need - until the day he discovers the awful truth about what really happens inside those camps. The story follows Hillary Wells, famous astrophysicist, who was crazy enough to think that facts are more important than feelings, and offends a few too many people on social media. That's now considered violence and gets you labelled a cerebral terrorist. Hillary tries to run, but the Tolerance Bureau has assigned Special Agent Jim Rogan to track her down and bring her in for mandatory sensitivity training in a re-education camp. But when Jim discovers the shattering truth about the re-education camps, he's faced with an impossible decision, and no matter what direction he takes, his life - and the life of everyone he knows and loves - will be forever changed. The Tolerance Bureau is set in a near future that is all too plausible... in which woke PC culture runs the country and disagreeing is a thoughtcrime. Think you should be free to speak your mind? Think again! The Tolerance Bureau is watching everything you post on social media. Getting cancelled will be the least of your worries.
