Carry Lada's A Very Ugly Story: (Short Fiction: approximately 4000 words)

Immerse your imagination into this silly story that will tickle your funny bone.

Warning: In this story there are plenty of nipples. (o)(o) Don't reach for a paper towel just yet, because this is not erotica.

An amateur mad scientist, a mean boss, a very ugly mishap, some beautiful people, and a bouncing bikini babe running away to retain her beauty.

Excerpt:

She fell off of the balcony face first and a branch of the ugly tree broke her fall as it sprung back. Boing! It tossed her to the branch on the other side of the tree again and again. Each time she hit a branch it altered her. Her look, color, and form had drastically changed. She fell down the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.

The Storm Protocol by Iain Cosgrove
Imagine creating the perfect drug; all of the highs with none of the lows. No side effects, no painful physical withdrawal, no drawbacks. Or are there....

Deep in the Louisiana bayou, Thomas Eugene O’Neill, a.k.a The Street, an Irish immigrant mob enforcer, waits patiently with his gun amidst the sweltering heat of a southern storm. His employers, Italian American drug lords Guido and Ernesto Mancini, have a guaranteed formula to create the perfect narcotic and Thomas knows too much. But he is not alone.

For Thomas, the middle-aged hit man, all roads seem to lead back to Cork; the city of his birth and the ghosts of his past. He has plenty of questions and needs some answers, and all the while the words echo in his head.

‘Be careful what you wish for!’

Hello Everyone!

The Remortal is my first novel on the Kindle platform. It's a culturally diverse Urban Fantasy / Thriller with action, betrayal, and painful life lessons passed from a jaded immortal to a young man trying to make sense of the world. You can buy The Remortal on Amazon here

Here's a short blurb:

----------------------------------

Telly is a homeless teenager struggling to survive on the streets of Los Angeles, but he has just met a man that can make all of his dreams come true. His rich new benefactor only asks for one thing in return—something no one else has been able to do for two and a half centuries.

He wants Telly to kill him.

The man with the death wish is named Van, and he offers Telly an escape from the constant fear, hunger, and shame that have haunted him during his homelessness. Telly thought he had Van all figured out, until a chance encounter with a gun-wielding thug shows that bullets don't do Van the slightest bit of harm.

Van is much more than he seems; he’s an immortal seeking escape from a world he now despises. He desires a higher plane of existence, but in order to get there he must train someone to complete the grim ritual that will free him from the confines of his immortal body. If Telly can fulfill Van's request, he will inherit Van’s wealth, strength, and eternal youth. But he soon discovers that Van is a harsh teacher with a questionable sense of morality, and there are other immortals who believe Van’s plans for ascension could lead to something they’ve been dreading for centuries: the birth of a wrathful god.

In a fractured Britain, the Genetic Enhancement Ministry have taken control. Parents buy designer babies and those with genetic faults are labelled Blemished and shunned from society.

Elena Darcey is just as perfect as the other clones, but there is something different about Elena, because she’s in trouble.

The perfect opportunity arises as a beauty pageant promises the winner a trip to London. Will Elena cope with the cut-throat world of a beauty pageant filled with sabotage, violence and betrayal? If she makes it to London, will she find the safe haven she craves? Does she discover more than she'd expected after meeting the mysterious Jake Bloom?

How To Save The World: An Alien Comedy by Charles Fudgemuffin

Aliens from the planet Fem have decided that as compassionate citizens of the galaxy they have a duty to alleviate suffering and affliction from the rest of the galaxy.

In the majority of cases this will involve sharing their unprecedented prosperity and quality of life with those planets less fortunate than themselves. Of course, in a minority of extreme cases this will also involve eliminating life from those planets in the galaxy where the level of suffering is simply too great to alleviate.

Unfortunately for Earth, the Femlings have deemed us one such planet...

"How to Save The World by Charles Fudgemuffin, is funny. Think Monty Python meets Saturday Night Live funny." ...Todd A. Fonseca (review on amazon.com)
