Opposite Extremes

by Vinny O'Hare on

B00CNUBFH2-frontcoverAbout The Book:
Two relationships stood out in Lan Henderson’s life. The amazing thing was, how he attracted two completely opposite women in the first place. One, an impulsive American blonde who didn’t have “stop” in her vocabulary. The other, a conservative Chinese violinist with a racist father. As Lan tries to adapt to living in Hong Kong, he recalls vast differences between his current life overseas and the one he lived in America.

Filled with imaginative locale and told in a narrative as entertaining as it is provocative, Jeremy Morgan’s first novella takes us on a dramatic journey that spans both ends of the planet and two extremes of the female personality. Where finding love can also mean finding ourselves.

Mirror Amour

by Vinny O'Hare on

mirror_final-updatedAbout The Book:
*Recommended for R18. New Adult / Adult Erotic Novella*

I stared up into his green eyes, lit only by fake candlelight. Noah laced his fingers with mine. “If we do this we don’t talk about it ever again. It stays here. In this place. Agreed?

Linden Dylan, genius microbiologist and soon-to-be professor, almost crashes her car when the purple and grey bigtop comes to town. And it was all because of the indecent, and rather thrilling flyer:

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Circotica invites you to:

Tassels of Tantalization.

Where fantasies are indulged, and reality is ignored.

One night only.

Strictly R18.

Couples encouraged.

Singles implored.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Linden has fantasies, not that she’d ever tell anyone, and against her strict self-control to stay away, she’s drawn to the sinful call of Circotica.

Strong and sexy acrobat, Carson Smith, is only too happy to help bring Linden’s fantasies to life, but tonight is Linden’s night and she’s got her lust set on bookishly handsome, Noah Carmichael, to fulfill them.

Calling Dr. Einstein

by Vinny O'Hare on

EINSTEIN-COVERAbout The Book:
Here’s a chance to learn something and have fun while you’re at it. In this wildly entertaining and informative comic book, our hero, Mr. Tompkins meets Albert Einstein and explores such mysteries as gravity and the speed of light.

“The Adventures of Mr. Tompkins” is based on the popular “Mr. Tompkins” book series by the legendary scientist and author, George Gamow. Gamow’ s breadth of knowledge was astounding. He originated the Big Bang theory of the Universe, did groundbreaking work on radioactivity and helped decipher the genetic code. Now, renowned inventor and scientist, R. Igor Gamow has teamed up with talented comic book illustrator, Scorpio Steele, to bring Mr. Tompkins to life in a comic book series.

Along with Isaac Asimov, Gamow is regarded as one of the greatest science popularizers of all time. He wrote books on how the atom works; radioactivity; electromagnetism; the nature of light; and how scientists understand space, time, and motion. However, he’s best known for his classic series of books featuring the lovable character, Mr. Tompkins.

“The idea of this comic book is brilliant. Daunting topics, such as the theory of relativity, nuclear fission, and radioactivity, are presented here in a form that speaks to and entertains a very general audience. The author even uses analogies that help readers relate to very abstract concepts”.
– Catherine Thureson, Clarion Book Reviews

“By his ingenuity and narrative skills, Gamow is able to transform the puzzling and obscure mysteries of physics into magical and enthralling stories. It was Mr. Tompkins who made the new physics vivid and real for me as a child and I am sure that he will continue to do the same for a great many others.”

 – Roger Penrose, winner of the Albert Einstein Medal

Author Bio:
Igor Gamow dropped out of high school to become a ballet dancer with the National Ballet Company. His father was George Gamow, the renowned Russian physicist who proposed the Big Bang Theory of the Universe. At the age of 22 Igor returned to academia to study biophysics, and went on to become a professor in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of Colorado. His research led to numerous inventions in the field of bionics, including the well-known Gamow Bag, a portable hyperbaric chamber that has saved countless lives in the world of mountaineering.
Igor is a passionate auteur, an enthusiastic motorcyclist, a real cowboy and an accomplished author – reviving his father’s award-winning book series The Adventures of Mr. Tompkins into a modern comic book and video series. Professor’s Daughter is his first novel, or as he likes to call it “a fictional memoir.” It found its genesis in Igor’s flamboyant and eccentric lifestyle, a persona which was generally loved by his students. Igor lives in Colorado with his wife, two dogs, four cats and a beautiful Arabian filly named Rose.

SharksJellyfish-300About The Book:

Book Two in the Carrie Carlin “Other Deadly Things” Mystery Series

In “Sharks, Jellyfish and Other Deadly Things” it’s Carrie’s best friend, Meg, who is in trouble when her brother-in-law, Pete is killed (murdered?) in a boating accident and Meg’s husband, Kevin, goes missing. Planning to do only some hand-holding, a little biofeedback therapy and maybe soak up a little sun in the bargain, Carrie flies to Key West and finds herself neck deep in murder, machetes, and poisonous aquatic life as she joins Meg in an all-out search for her husband. Word of their inquiries spreads among Pete and Kevin’s competitors, some of whose tentacles reach deep into the shark infested waters of the boat racing industry. Suddenly there are ominous phone calls, a menacing homeless man, a wild chase through Key West’s famous old cemetery, a ransacked hotel room–and then the attacks become really personal…

“An enjoyable fast read. The mystery is tricky and I didn’t see ‘whodunit’ coming till the last minute. I think those of you who like Jill Churchill, Diane Mott Davidson and Katherine Hall Page will like this one.”
Mysterious Strands

“

Once more Nancy has produced a compelling blend of vividly imagined characters, arcane facts, and suspenseful plot to create a most enjoyable mystery….It rivals the best in the genre.”
John Lewell – Femaledetective.com

“

True to her character’s occupation, Tesler delivers a stress-free mystery. The story is light, the plotting is first class and the characters engaging.”
Oline Codgill – The Sun-Sentinal

“Sharks, Jellyfish and Other Deadly Things has lots of questions, lots of humor, a bunch of attractive men, more than one slimy character, a humungous fish tank….But most of all there’s Carrie Carlin. Nancy Tesler has made her warm, funny, gutsy, vulnerable and loyal. If we’re lucky we all have a friend like her. In the meantime we can take her home in a book.
Jackie Acampora – Mystery.Net.com

“A winner…Carrie Carlin is a thoroughly modern heroine—feisty, independent, and funny.”
Valerie Wolzein – Author of the Susan Henshaw and Josie Pigeon mysteries

Author Bio:

Born and raised in Massachusetts, Nancy received a BFA from the renowned theater department at Carnegie Mellon University. A career that included off-Broadway, summer stock, TV, films, and a road company tour of some military bases in France, sadly failed to put her name in lights, but did turn out to be excellent training for the writing career that was to come.

After taking a hiatus to raise three children, she began writing for the stage, television and the financial community. Still another career as a biofeedback practitioner helped pay the bills when suddenly single again, and inspired by an overwhelming urge to knock someone off, she created the “Other Deadly Things” mystery series, originally published by Dell, which deals with the murderously wacky world of divorce where biofeedback stress-reduction is the order of the day.

“

Don’t miss this stand-out-from-the-crowd cliffhanger with its slightly frazzled, commitment-phobic, in-your-face heroine, who’ll tickle your funnybone as she steals your heart,” advises NY Times bestseller JANET EVANOVICH, and PUBLISHERS WEEKLY called amateur sleuth, Carrie Carlin, “a clever, slightly neurotic heroine whose personal life is in disarray, the kind of heroine Susan Isaacs might put in a mystery.” And from THE CHARLOTTE AUSTIN REVIEW, “This is amateur sleuthing at its charming, endearing, laughable and surprising best.”

Vegas and the Mob

by Vinny O'Hare on

CoverVegasandtheMobAbout The Book:
The truth about Las Vegas, unlike the watered-down versions you might have heard elsewhere. Sin City was the Mob’s greatest venture and most spectacular success, and through forty years of frenzy, the FBI watched, listened on phone tapes, and did virtually nothing. Thank goodness for that, because Vegas wouldn’t be what it is today without the Mob!

Two of the nation’s most powerful crime family heads went to prison in the 1930’s, Al Capone, and Lucky Luciano. Frank Nitti took over the Chicago Outfit while, Frank Costello ran things for the Luciano Family. Both men were influenced by their bosses from prison, and both sent enough gangsters onto the streets to influence loan sharking, extortion, union control, and drug sales.

Bugsy Siegel worked for both groups, handling a string of murders and opening up gaming on the west coast, and that included Las Vegas, an oasis of sin in the middle of the desert – and it was legal. Most of it. The FBI watched as the Mob took control of casino after casino, killed off the competition, and stole enough money to bribe their way to respectability back home.

New York’s “Lucky Luciano” was getting a taste of the profits in the 1930’s, Detroit, Kansas City, and Chicago weren’t far behind. By the 1940’s, nearly every crime family in the United States had a stake in a Las Vegas casino. Some did better than others. Vegas casino owners watched-over their profits while competing crime families eyed the others success like jealous lovers. Murder often followed.
