The Z Word (Apocalypse Babes) by Bella Street

Product Description
It's been said that a sure sign of the coming apocalypse is an 80s roller skate disco movie coming to DVD (with special features). In the science-fiction novel series Apocalypse Babes, a stylish group of twenty-something friends are torn from the Babylonian arms of 2006 West Hollywood and flung nearly thirty years into the past. It might be because one of them purchased the taboo film in a nostalgic moment, setting off a chain of events more disturbing than a roller skating conga line. They wake up in an apocalyptic but strangely familiar landscape, complete with a hidden mountain compound and retro survivalists, hinting at hidden and retro secrets they must face if they want to survive.

Book One of Apocalypse Babes, The Z Word, follows Seffy Carter and
her longtime friends Gareth, Addison and Lani. The four besties share a past dysfunctional and dark enough to keep them bound together under do-over identities. But rends develop in their relationships from the flesh-eating
pressures of ending up in 1980, in a Montana desert, surrounded by
zombies wearing dated disco duds.

Vultures in the Playground by A. Sparrow

Product Description
Name: Archie Parsons. Occupation: Malaria consultant. Hobbies: Mosquito husbandry. Boulder climbing. Long walks at sunset in failed states.
That last item nearly gets Archie killed when he is mugged fresh off a plane in Monrovia,Liberia. He is lucky to limit the damage to a scalp contusion and a stolen passport.
Turns out, these weren’t run-of-the-mill thugs. They work for a powerful and shadowy industrial consortium. Their goals: murder and identity theft. They seek Archie’s visas and connections to lubricate a killing spree of obstructive politicians and activists. These executions are to be conducted by their lead assassin – a man named Black.
During a second attempt involving Black himself, Archie’s would-be killer is accidentally killed by a freak accident in an airport washroom. But the consortium assumes that their man prevailed. He’s Agent Black, after all.
They blindly shuttle Archie around West Africa, providing tickets and weapons and intelligence via briefcases left in luxury hotel suites. For a time he plays along, exploiting his mistaken identity to warn intended targets of their peril.
When the consortium discovers their error, they dispatch Black’s East African counterpart, a man named White, to set things right. Archie finds himself pitted against the most brutal corporate assassin on the African continent. The State Department won’t help him because he’s officially deceased and some of their people are consortium plants. The only person who comes to his aide is his cat-sitter Melissa, a young woman whose shadowy past makes her much more formidable than she seems.

How to Dump Your Boyfriend in the Men's Room (and other short stories) by Sibel Hodge

Product Description
Welcome to My World…

I’m an author of chick lit romances and mysteries. In my spare time I’m Wonder Woman! My world is sometimes wacky, quirky, and very accident-prone.

This is a collection of five humorous short stories – what I like to call true fiction. Some are true, some are fiction, and some are a mixture of both. I guess you have to decide which is which!

I often get asked if I’m like any of my characters in my novels, and I have to groan and say, yes. When you read these stories you’ll realize how, and a lot of them have inspired scenes in my novels, although names have been omitted or changed to protect me against lawsuits!

Are you ready to find out “how to dump your boyfriend in the men’s toilets”, why “yoga is bad for your house”, what the “S-Word has to do with your lady garden”, why you need to “follow that goat”, and whether “kismet” does really exist?

Painting by numbers by David Thyssen

Product Description
Years of humiliation in school and at home have finally caused fourteen year old Seth Mason to snap. High school didn't bring any change he had hoped for, the terrors of middle school years never stopped. His family is a joke, a beautiful facade of wealth and righteousness hiding a cesspool of dysfunction. His only ally, his grandmother, has died, and everyone else betrayed him. Not even the Nomans, the voices in his head, were ever really on his side. Sex couldn't satisfy him either because, as always, people only used him, which drained him emotionally. But it's all over now. He warned them after all. For more than a year he warned everyone in his blog, but no one listened. He knew one day he wouldn't take any of it anymore, and not even Alex, his psychiatrist who always made his hormones run wild, could have changed his mind. The hypnotherapy she insisted Seth should try only made things worse. It made him realize he didn't lose his innocence at age six like he always believed, when he found his mother in bed with a strange man while looking for his lost rabbit, but that all his life he had been living a lie. Now, besieged by police in his high school after killing numerous teachers and students, he reflects on the months leading up to his revenge, and prepares himself for the inevitable.

Rampant high school shootings still make headlines. But what drives a seemingly ordinary kid to walk into a school and shoot at other kids? Narrated by fourteen year old Seth Mason, PAINTING BY NUMBERS tells of the months leading up to the day he killed a number of his teachers and fellow students in his high school. Set in modern day America, this psychological journey takes the reader deep into the dark mind of a very disturbed teen. While not exactly that of Eric Harris or Dylan Klebold, the tale of Seth Mason is possibly closer to reality for more disconnected kids across America than most parents are aware of.
