David’s Disaster – The Road to Rocktoberfest/Embrace the Fear 2

About David’s Disaster – The Road to Rocktoberfest/Embrace the Fear 2

For David Jordan life is close to perfect.

His band, Embrace the Fear, is living the rock ‘n roll dream as an up-and-coming group under Masterson Management. They aren’t rolling in dough like their mentors from Social and Maiden, but things are good.

David grew up in a middle-class family. Both his parents worked and supported him and his sisters in every way. To this day, they are still in love with each other.

The one thing missing from David’s life is the same kind of connection his parents had.

But David’s desires are a bit unorthodox and not always welcome with guys his age. Would an older man look past the number and trust David to care for them—body and soul?

Jordan Wright has a thriving business thanks to being awarded the contract to manage the catering for Rocktoberfest for a second year.

He’s thrilled to be back at the venue again—maybe this is the year something special will happen, although he’s not counting on it.

Since Jordan’s last failed attempt at a relationship, he’s sworn only to engage in meaningless hook-ups.

Will he ever be able to open his mind and his heart again? Enough to trust another man, not only with his body but to catch him when he falls?

David’s Disaster is part of the multi-author The Road to Rocktoberfest 2022 series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but why not read them all and see who hits the stage next? Hot rockstars and the men who love them, what more could you ask for? Kick back, load up your kindle and enjoy the men of Rocktoberfest!

Soup of the Universe: An Interdimensional Adventure by Val Hull

About Soup of the Universe: An Interdimensional Adventure by Val Hull

Soup of the Universe is a thrilling interdimensional adventure that will take you to the furthest reaches of space-time.

Depending on how you look at it, interdimensional travel is either a fantastic way of experiencing the wonders of the Universe, or a rather nasty fancy that merely pokes holes in the fabric of reality.

When these two outlooks collide within the Hub – an artificial pocket of space where every conceivable world intersects – an explosive confrontation is all but inevitable.

In one corner there’s Marcus, an eccentric scholar who made his name by exploring the distant corners of space-time and facing unspeakable horrors armed with nothing but a bag of notes, together with any allies he can talk into joining his cause. And boy, can he talk.

And in the other we have an advanced race of avian humanoids who dispatch a team of highly-trained operatives specializing in interdimensional sabotage to the Hub. Once there, they intend to save the Universe by blowing up everyone they deem a threat.

Demons, constructs, sentient buildings, undead comedians, and even a regiment of US marines all play a part in their plan to destroy the Hub and Marcus’s subsequent attempts to foil it.

BLOOD FOR PEARLS

About BLOOD FOR PEARLS

A Legacy Written in Blood and Pearls…

In 1498, the world was on the brink of a seismic shift. Christopher Columbus, during his fateful third voyage, stumbled upon the Pearl Coast—an enchanting realm teeming with riches beyond imagination. Yet, behind the glistening pearls lay a dark and treacherous history that would forever change the course of human lives.

At the heart of this gripping historical thriller lies Cubagua Island, a place where dreams and nightmares intertwined. Here, the lives of two souls, Charaima, a Native American, and Dembe, an African, were forever altered. Enslaved by the avaricious European invaders and subjected to unimaginable cruelty under the sadistic Captain Pedro, they clung to each other, united by a shared determination to secure their people’s freedom.

Hidden amidst the chaos and suffering, a cache of pearls was concealed in a buried clay jar—a symbol of hope and a means to their liberation.

The Curse of Moonseed Manor

About The Curse of Moonseed Manor

A haunted hotel. A skeptical photographer. A deadly curse that could cost her everything.

Wren Mabry’s life is a disaster. Her last few years have been rife with tragedy and hardship. So when she’s offered a job at Moonseed Manor, a Gothic revival mansion that’s never welcomed visitors, it seems suspicious. Even so, this is her chance to finally turn her life around.

The gloom that hangs over Moonseed Manor is enhanced by its cold yet alluring owner, Mr. William Courtland Bennings. And the spooky tales of the flirtatious and sexy caretaker, Watt, play up that feeling.

Even though Wren doesn’t believe in ghosts or curses, she’s always had a flair for the darker side. And when she finds a handwritten book of poetry filled with longing, terror, and ghostly revenge, it reawakens her very soul—or rather the unknown poet does.

Love, death, secrets, and lies await in this gothic romance.

Pretend With Me

About Pretend With Me

One phone call was all it took to upend my entire life in completely unexpected ways.

Whoever said that you can’t go home again was a liar. After the senior year from hell, I had spent a decade trying to avoid Beacon Hill and its residents. My luck came to a sudden end after daddy had an incident with a rotted floor. In and out, I promised myself. I was just there to help my parents for a week or two tops.

Things in Beacon Hill hadn’t changed much since I’d been home last. Mama still worked at the hub of gossip known as Trixie’s, Mrs. Thomas still made the best chicken salad in all of Georgia, and my sister was still the devil in a pushup bra. And of course, the St. James family was still local royalty. Our very own version of the Kennedys.

Imagine my surprise when I discovered that, not only is my sister back in town after a failed modeling career, she’s also engaged to Macon St. James. The golden boy of Beacon Hill, and the star of every single one of my teenage fantasies.

The biggest surprise of all was Holden St. James. I thought he would be one of the villains in this story, but I was learning that I had been wrong about a lot of things. And Holden just might be worth coming home for….

Purposeful Work, Blessed Rest

About Purposeful Work, Blessed Rest

Do you feel burnt out? Overwhelmed? Like you’re constantly striving?

Mama, God loves you!

He wants you to live an abundant life of rest in Him. God wants you to work purposefully in His Kingdom.

The world will often tell you that to find rest, you need to focus on yourself. Or that to find purposeful work, you need to look within. Don’t believe it! You will find true rest and purposeful work when you turn to God and focus on the beauty of His splendour.

If you’re a busy mama, this 6-week devotional is for you as it explores both rest and work in light of God’s word.

Each week contains six days — each day containing a focus verse, a devotion based on the verse, questions for reflection and a prayer — and a seventh day, called Rest And Praise, which contains a recap of all the focus verses from the week, a short reflection to lead you in praise, and a prayer of thanksgiving.

Mama, I pray God’s truth will permeate your mind and heart and bring you to a place of rest.

May You know Him more. May you make Him more known.
