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 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...

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.)

No Salt Recipes: Your GO-TO Cookbook of Healthy, Low-Sodium Ideas! by Thomas Kelly (12 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

Has your physician or nutritionist recommended a no salt or low sodium diet for you? It can be one of the best ways to eat healthy, but you'll need recipes that help you identify good options. Your body only needs about 200-300 mg of sodium each day. When you adopt a no salt added diet, using recipes like those in this handy cookbook, you will be healthier, and feel better, too. Lots of people talk about no-salt diets, but they are actually more properly called no salt added diets, since many foods contain sodium naturally. Those foods are cut back in a salt restricted diet, too. A no-salt diet is helpful if you have or are predisposed to conditions like edema (swelling, usually in the legs and feet), kidney failure, heart disease or high blood pressure. Your physician will tailor a no-salt diet to your own needs, and the recipes in this cookbook are helpful for typical no salt diet regimens. When you are on a no salt diet, replace table salt with a salt substitute or with spices and herbs, when you cook. You'll also want to avoid foods that have high amounts of salt added like salty snacks, processed meat and canned soup. Try one of these healthy no-salt added recipes today!

Lydima is only good at one thing: attracting and entertaining men. From a young age, her beauty drew unwanted attention, and she learned to turn it to her advantage. However, no one seems able to see beyond her outward appearance and love the woman on the inside. Weary of being used, Lydima accepts Lady Eemya's offer to manage the holding of Freosyd while she is away. Unfortunately, her reputation precedes her, and overcoming prejudices proves challenging. Fever ravages the island, orphaned children cry for help, and a festering evil has far-reaching consequences. Lydima must find the strength and wisdom to deal with dire situations for which she is completely unprepared. But even earning respect as a leader is easier than learning to value herself. Can she leave the past behind and open her heart to the future?

The Savannah Stargazer: A Civil War Romance by Nicola Italia (22 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

Elizabeth Suzannah Dupree lives a pampered life on a Georgia plantation surrounded by her family and friends. "Zasu," as she is affectionately known, wants nothing more than to run the orange grove plantation when her father retires and live her life in peace. She has no use for society parties, gossip, or even worse, a husband. Which suits the men of Savannah just fine, for, as beautiful as she may be, no one wants an independent, business-minded woman like Zasu for a wife. But when Zasu meets dashing lawyer Gray Talbot, everything changes. Serious and quiet, Gray doesn't wave away her ambitions as fanciful or remind her of her place in society. Instead, he treats her as an equal, and makes her question her decision not to marry. But Gray is hiding secrets, secrets that will threaten their newfound admiration for each other... Gray Talbot is an abolitionist. And preaching abolition in the South during the Civil War is dangerous. Despite threats and violence, Gray doggedly pursues his desire to see all people free and treated equally. But falling in love with a slave-holding Southern woman wasn't part of the plan. As the Civil War looms with the election of Abraham Lincoln, the slaves on the Dupree Plantation are also affected. Abused at the hands of a white man, Zasu's maid, Renny, begins to open her eyes to the idea that there is more to life than living in bondage. When war breaks out, throwing the South and their way of life into chaos, Renny and her family must decide whether to remain on the plantation or take the dangerous route to freedom. And when tragedy occurs on the plantation, Zasu must decide what she truly believes and where her heart lies.

Contending with Paul: The Hidden Story Behind the Writing of Matthew, Mark, and Luke by William Joseph Cobble Price verified 42 minutes ago

Awarded Amazon's "#1 New Release in Biographies of Judaism" Contending with Paul: The Hidden Story Behind the Writing of Matthew, Mark and Luke, is not a book that easily fits into existing genres. Within its pages one will find history, theology, biography, and literary criticism. This book focuses primarily on the first two generations of the Christian movement. The first generation includes the Apostles, Jesus' family members, and Paul. It is this generation who would first debate how the message of Jesus should be presented to the Gentile world (non-Jews) and what would be expected of those Gentiles who desired to follow Jesus. It is the second generation of believers who began to write in a new literary genre that Christians call "gospels." The Gospel of Matthew, the Gospel of Mark, and the Gospel of Luke, are the earliest three to have survived, and it is through these writings that the debates of the first generation get carried forward by the second. Though all three gospels were written after the death of Paul, it is asserted by the author that each gospel writer contended with his continuing influence in some way, though each from their own distinctive vantage point. Paul's influence may be underestimated if one only counts his extant works in the New Testament. Modern Bibles attribute 13 letters to Paul, while some older Bibles attribute a 14th by assigning the Epistle to the Hebrews to him as well. To ask if a mere 13 letters sent out to churches and individuals throughout the Graeco-Roman world would have been enough to influence the later gospel writers is to ask the wrong question. For the benefit of using a round number, it can be estimated that Paul ministered for 30 years. Also, for the sake of a round number, the churches and individuals to whom he corresponded may be estimated to be 20. Supposing he wrote to each of these entities twice a year, Paul's total ministerial correspondence would rise from his 13 extant works to an output of 1,200. ...
