A Call Girl With Her Clothes On by Cozette Zimmerman

About A Call Girl With Her Clothes On by Cozette Zimmerman

What happens when a college student finds herself in need of some extra cash, and she only has time to work at night? Starting in 2019, author Cozette Zimmerman took a fairly generic part-time job working nights as a hospital phone operator while working full-time on her college degree. In that job, she soon discovered that sometimes, at three o’clock in the morning, people really just need a better adult to tell them what to do—and her role was to be that better adult. For the first eight months, the calls were fairly regular and routine—well, as routine as a medical emergency in the middle of the night can be. Then the COVID-19 pandemic hit and changed everything. A Call Girl with Her Clothes On shares hilarious true accounts of working with patients during medical emergencies before and in the midst of a global pandemic. These short stories recall conversations and events that have stayed with Zimmerman, leaving her to wonder about the fate of the world.

Bent Pages by Anne Hope

About Bent Pages by Anne Hope

Winner of the International Impact Book Award and Firebird Talk Radio Book Award now on sale! Faced with the task of raising a daughter as a single parent after the death of a spouse, this unforgettable memoir tackles an impossible question: how do you teach the critical life skills of trust, love, forgiveness, humility, mercy, unselfishness, and grace to your child when you never learned them for yourself in a normal family setting?

If there is one lesson we can learn from this remarkable memoir, it’s the importance of faith. Using God, the only father she ever knew, as a plumb line, we walk with the author (often with great humor) as she journeys through “bent pages” of her story while teaching her child the skills of life even when she did not fully understand them herself. We are captivated as her daughter falls in love with God, the father who is introduced to her. And with God’s grace, and though the eyes of her trusting child, the author ultimately learns these very life skills for herself. This compelling and uplifting narrative is a story of resilience and self-discovery that is profoundly moving.

Brave the Wave

About Brave the Wave

Anxious? Stressed? Confused? Looking for Solutions?

As a practicing physician for twenty years, that is exactly the situation that Johnny Cavazos was in. What stunned and shocked him the most was one inescapable fact. He didn’t know what he didn’t know.

As he describes it, “The best analogy I can offer is that it’s like taking your car to the mechanic to replace a faulty fuel pump and he hands you the keys to a brand new Mercedes Benz and says, “take it, it’s yours.” (That’s how Elvis used to give away cars.) There is more value here than a new Mercedes.”

In this poignant and riveting account of his decade long journey of discovery, you will be entertained while gaining valuable insight to help you understand and actually appreciate the waves, trials and storms that we all encounter in our lives.

This inspiring narrative of personal experiences will reveal useful and practical approaches to help increase joy, clarity, love and personal peace in your life. This book makes for a fascinating, powerful and uplifting read that can inspire each of us to reach for heights we never thought attainable.

With brutal honesty and humor, Johnny uses short vignettes from the medical world and from the captivating world of near-death experiences to take us on a journey that is spell binding, powerful and life changing.

Writing in a comfortable and warm style, Johnny takes us on this trip into spirituality, faith and the near death experience as he unpacks ideas that will open up an experience of clarity and vision you didn’t even realize existed.

Brave the Wave will share valuable insights that will have a personal and powerful impact on every relationship you have, bringing benefits to you and everyone around you.

Salvation on Peril Island

About Salvation on Peril Island

In the year 1983, a cargo plane crashes onto a desert island, somewhere in the Caribbean. The four survivors know their priorities well: find shelter, find food and fresh water, get rescued, and, above all, find the mysterious missing cargo. But, as time passes by, these priorities wane, as all of them seem to be having too good of a time. As they get to know each other better, they start re-examining their whole lives and the paths that led them to this island.

In the year 2028, a woman called Clarice Skaugen returns to her childhood home in Minneapolis for a family gathering. She is haunted and driven by nostalgia and memories of her childhood days, but she quickly puts it all aside when she realizes that her twin brother is missing, and that it seems like she is the only one in the family that notices or cares at all about his disappearance.

These two narratives twist around each other only to converge in an exciting finale and provide the answers sought from the start, not just “what” and “how”, but, more importantly, “why”.

Mr Darcy’s Household by Lyr Newton

About Mr Darcy’s Household by Lyr Newton

Jane Austen gave her Readers a Fitzwilliam Darcy who appeared taciturn, haughty and aloof, but at his beloved Pemberley he was involved, confident and admired by his staff and tenants who relied on the Pemberley coffers for their livelihoods.

Suppose that Elizabeth Bennet’s acquaintance with Mr Fitzwilliam Darcy began before Netherfield Park? In this ‘Pride and Prejudice’ variation that is what happened.

The author Lyr Newton brings the Reader directly to the Pemberley easing and sweetening the things a bit. Again, Mr Darcy is definitely the boss, but he has the loyalty of those under his providence. But this Darcy is likeable, if often unreadable, as he is still the man of commanding mien, yet of few words.

Surprisingly for the Regency Reader, Elizabeth Bennet is allowed to assume the role of the head housekeeper Mrs Reynolds, who has suffered a stroke. So, for three months, Elizabeth applies herself diligently and grows into the all-encompassing job of regulating this immense estate, its tenants and workers, and its relations with those in Lambton supported by the Pemberley estate. Her first goal was to gain a much-needed income to aid her father back at Longbourn.

Her occasional interactions with Mr Fitzwilliam Darcy will infiltrate her very heart. This novella has almost zero-angst and most of the actions would speak louder than words.
So what happens next is the crux of the story. So many questions but the most important one of all do Elizabeth and Darcy find a happily ever after path? Read this wonderful short and sweet story about a love that can’t be denied. You will absolutely adore this Elizabeth and Darcy love story.

Bad Medicine by James Cohoon


About Featured Book: Bad Medicine by James Cohoon

From busy hospitals in San Diego to the barren deserts of Arizona, this tension-filled thriller, the second installment of The Medical Students series, follows the life and death challenges, the surprising twists and turns, and the ethical dilemmas of two young doctors in their quest to rid the profession of bad doctors who practice bad medicine resulting in bad outcomes.

Book One, Do No Harm, introduced Torrey Jamison and Matthew Preston. Torrey, with her genius IQ, gained acceptance to Stanford Medical School to pursue her dream of becoming a pediatric neurosurgeon in honor of her little sister, Leia, who died of brain cancer. At Stanford, she met her future husband, Matthew, who pursued medical school for the sole purpose of becoming a prison doctor in order to gain access to—and kill—his father’s murderer who was incarcerated in San Quentin. As their relationship deepened, Torrey was forced to confront the potential value and moral ambiguity of vigilantism.

In this page-turning, stand-alone suspense sequel, Bad Medicine, newlyweds Torrey and Matthew have graduated from medical school and are now new doctors at Kaiser hospital in San Diego. While there, they learn of a friend’s young niece who has fallen victim to a doctor who is running a phony cancer treatment center. Putting their careers and marriage in jeopardy, Dr. Jamison and Dr. Preston agree to help their friend’s family seek the ultimate revenge.

They Will Be Coming for Us by Kim Catanzarite

About They Will Be Coming for Us by Kim Catanzarite

A young woman’s greatest dreams and darkest nightmares are pivoted against each other in this sci-fi thriller.

Svetlana Peterman has met her soul mate in Andrew Jovian, a young astronomer who works for Starbright International, the aerospace company his wealthy parents own. Once married, they make a home in Kirksberg, Pennsylvania, a small town famous for a UFO sighting that occurred in the 1960s. Svetlana is, for once, truly happy, except that Andrew’s family is strange, and not in a normal-strange kind of way.

Preoccupied with only two things—the night sky and carrying on their family lineage—the Jovians lack social skills and often pry into Svetlana’s personal life. Her intimidating mother-in-law demands she get busy fulfilling her reproductive duty to the family, and Andrew’s eccentric uncle seems to be able to read her mind. Feeling bullied and wanting a career before motherhood, Svetlana takes precautions but ends up pregnant anyway.

But that’s the least of her worries when she discovers the Jovians have a monumental secret that will change her fate (and that of her child’s) forever—a secret so powerful, it could alter the course of mankind.

They Will Be Coming for Us is free to members of Kindle Unlimited, or $4.99 to purchase.

The Flight to Excellence by Captain William "T" Thompson


About Featured Book: The Flight to Excellence by Captain William “T” Thompson

During the month of August, get this title for only $0.99!! The Flight to Excellence makes a great gift for entrepreneurs and anyone running or starting a business.

Attaining the Unattainable Is Within Our Reach.
Captain William ”T.” Thompson’s accomplishments are many: US Air Force pilot, Delta Airlines captain, lawyer, award-winning businessman, and professional speaker.

But Thompson did not start out in life with any special advantages. In fact, being born and raised in segregated South Carolina meant that the difficulties he faced growing up were many. But realizing his aspiration to become a pilot and becoming the first African American from the state to be accepted into the prestigious United States Air Force Academy was just the beginning of a pattern of successes in a life that extended far beyond its origins.

Thompson uses his life’s challenges and his personal story to prove that we can all accomplish much more than we previously considered possible-and that we should strive for things that we have even considered unattainable. It doesn’t take special gifts or talents either, the author insists. He credits his P4 System (Principles, People, Flight Plan, and Performance) as the foundation that enabled him to literally pilot his way to success and ultimately become a multimillionaire in the process.

With an attractive and distinctive aviation motif, The Flight to Excellence inspires and instructs executives, entrepreneurs, and anyone with a strong desire to reach extraordinary heights on how we can each build a ”Culture of Excellence” in our own professional and personal lives by applying his methodical process and concepts and our own discipline and hard work.

The proof is in the captain’s own successes.

Black & White by Erol Rashit

About Black & White by Erol Rashit

Special promotion: September 20 to 21, 2021.

Confronting racism, transcending duality: Black & White is a metaphysical Western, set in modern times and incorporating more than a touch of the East.

A young white man, Igor, adopts as his mother a middle aged black woman, Sylvia, after meeting her in a café, each having come from the nearby cemetery. The deeper he delves into the death of Sylvia’s son, the more embroiled Igor becomes in the activities of Los Angeles gangsters, and the more he becomes the focus of a police investigation himself. If this were an old Western movie, the heroes and villains might almost be wearing white and black hats respectively. Then again, the hats could be misleading: Igor’s appetite for polyamorous relationships is not exactly respectable; nor is his willingness to match the brutality of those he seeks to outwit as he immerses himself within a tangled web of deception and violence.

‘He who sees inaction in action, and action in inaction, he is wise among men.’
—Bhagavad Gita IV, 18
