"I have always wondered what our pets thought. Now I do! And who knew they were so stinking cute! Except, of course Diablo, but even the ferocious Chihuahua is stinking cute just like the rest of the book.

TAYLOR LEE
My stories are the stories of my heritage. From the residue in my blender of mixed races, cultures and world views, my characters emerge. The penchant to root around in the past is a blessing. It comforts me to know that while evil slinks in the shadows, the warriors of the world sniff it out – and snuff it out.
Can it be so simple? Deshi (The Joker Is Wild) asks in disbelief, “That’s the goal of the Grandmasters? To stamp out evil? Sorry, Father, I prefer poker. It has better odds.”
Ah, youth. Fortunately there is love and, yes, it does conquer all, but not without a hell of a fight -- at least for my warrior men and women.
I am as real as the words on the page. Taylor Lee
A Chinese Tong leader his enemies call the Frenchman.
A fiery red-haired beauty even the Frenchman can’t control.
Is there anyone as violently ruthless as the mob?
Meet the Frenchman.
“When a vicious New York gang builds its thriving prostitution business on the backs of young Chinese girls, the Frenchman burns down their flagship brothel--with twenty mob leaders inside. Lesson: Don’t mess with the Frenchman.” D. Adams, author Samsara
“A fiercely possessive, demanding lover, the Frenchman introduces Elena to a wild circus of erotic adventures that are as passionate as they are outrageous.” J. John
Can’t get enough of Lora Leigh and Maya Bank’s steamy hot suspense? Buckle up! The Frenchman’s Revenge is a masterful addition to the positively addicting Grandmaster’s Legacy saga.
BE WARNED: The language is rough, the sex explicit, and the violence is fierce.

JONATHAN GOULD
Jonathan Gould has lived in Melbourne, Australia all his life, except when he hasn't. He has written comedy sketches for both the theatre and radio, as well as several published children's books for the educational market.
He likes to refer to his stories as dag-lit because they don't easily fit into recognizable genres (dag is Australian slang for a person who is unfashionable and doesn't follow the crowd - but in an amusing and fun way). You might think of them as comic fantasies, or modern fairytales for the young and the young-at-heart.
Over the years, his writing has been compared to Douglas Adams, Monty Python, A.A. Milne, Lewis Carroll, the Goons, Dr Seuss and even Enid Blyton (in a good way).
Neville Lansdowne fell off the world.
Actually, he did not so much fall off as let go. The world had been moving so quickly lately and Neville was finding it almost impossible to keep up.
Douglas Adams meets Lewis Carroll (with just a touch of Gulliver's Travels) as Neville wanders through an asteroid field, meeting a variety of eccentric characters and experiencing some most unexpected adventures.
Semi-finalist in the 2011 Goodreads Choice Awards – Humor
Doodling by Jonathan Gould gives us a fantastically funny social satire that never takes itself too seriously.

I don't think I've ever described something as a "romp" before, but the word definitely applies to the experience of reading Doodling.
- whatbookisthat.com
This is one of those short stories you read from start to finish with a big smile across your face……it was quirky, funny, imaginative, oddball and ingenious.
- cnkbookreviews.blogspot.com
I found myself cheering on Neville and his team, and would recommend Doodling to anyone who enjoys a fun read.

I have to say, it was truly delightful!...Please don't deny yourself a little break from this hectic world with a bit of Doodling.

KELLI MCCRACKEN
Do dreams foretell the future? Are there soul connections that go deeper than love? He can sense her emotions at any place and time. Their bond is powerful, but a mystery. One thing he does know: She’s plagued his dreams for months. Maybe even longer. Being involved with a celebrity is the last thing she imagined … or wanted. Can she forget the pain of the past? Can he let go of his fears?
After finishing her sophomore year of college, Heaven Lewis, along with her two sisters, arrive in Los Angeles, CA, at the strange request of her childhood best friend. Once Heaven learns of the shocking news that her best friend has been hiding, her life begins changing in ways she never expected.
Through a circle of new and old friends, she is quickly introduced into a celebrity lifestyle, where she meets Dylan McBride—the tall, dark, and handsome lead singer for the rock band, Sliders.
Dylan is overwhelmed with emotions the first time he lays eyes on Heaven. An unexplainable force seems to be drawing them together, and he notices that he can “sense” things about her. The chemistry they share is undeniable, even to those who watch them interact.
As Dylan and Heaven grow closer, they discover new things about themselves and their budding relationship. But just as things start looking brighter for this couple, a turn of events rocks their relationship. Will this event bring them together, or tear them apart?
