Littlethumb Sneezed
Littlethumb Sneezed Truant Memphis
"Littlethumb Sneezed triumphs as both a fast-moving mystery and literary character study. Memphis writes with effortless dexterity and a lighthearted tone, imbuing the story with a subtlety that keeps the story both swift and fascinating. Add a devastating turn of fate as the penultimate twist, and Memphis hooks in the reader as the book barrels toward a tough but satisfying conclusion. A wonderful, entertaining novel with a deep understanding of what motivates humans to do what they do, for a thoroughly original work of literary fiction." Self-Publishing Review, ★★★★
That title alone made me laugh. Can't wait to dive into this one!
Splendid book for fans of off-the-wall humor.
A crafty writer that knows how to surprise the reader yet supply them with a satisfying conclusion.
The first couple of lines got me hooked
Surrender (a preview)
Surrender (a preview) Chris Baum
A hairy bachelor (Bigfoot) decides to set off on a dangerous quest to find his long lost kin. He knows the journey will be fraught with danger because he knows he and his family are on the endangered list—a constant struggle to survive. But like an adage he once read in a book, “nothing ventured, nothing gained,” he is steadfast to not give up on his goal. Fortunately, and unexpectedly, he gets some assistance from two animals, one of whom is far bigger in his faith than his physical size. PoBo encounters many obstacles along the way, and his own faith is tested repeatedly as time runs out to fulfill his quest. What he at first thinks is the true meaning of his journey becomes redefined.
When we’re broken and we realize we are not in complete control, it's time to SURRENDER.
When we’re broken and we realize we are not in complete control, it's time to SURRENDER.

Jack has some 'splainin' to do!
That's right! Callie Lassiter's normally well-behaved Great Dane Jack has run off and done the wild thing with the neighbor's dog. It's doubly embarrassing since she's a professional dog trainer. Of course, the neighbor would have to be hot, hot nightclub owner bad boy Owen McKay, just the kind of man Callie is determined to avoid.
Owen’s comfortable with his playboy status and the hype in the media. But the ground moves beneath his feet when he gets an eyeful of the girl next door. The Dog Whisperer never looked this good! How can he convince this wholesome honey that his player days are behind him? Maybe Jill, his Great Dane can help him with this dilemma now that she’s pregnant and Callie’s dog is to blame.

Sci-Fi Shorts II
Sci-Fi Shorts II Mark Roman
Four humorous science fiction stories telling of: the man with a rather special talent, an app that can reveal people’s darkest secrets, the man who invents the antidote to Murphy’s Law, and the galactic bailiff who comes to Earth to evict everyone.
Great cover! I look forward to reading these sci-fi "shorts".
I've read Mark's 'The Ultimate Inferior Beings', which I most remember for its brilliantly 'Heath Robinson' technologies - wonderfully over-complicated mechanisms that (in view of Mr Roman's scientific background) one suspects might actually work. And I read, too, The Worst Man on Mars, which is another incarnation of British humour at its lunatic best. Messrs Roman and Duke clearly work together very well - though, as I've said before, if they'd ever been at school together, I suspect they'd have been considered a disruptive influence on the class.
He's in my all-time top five funny sci-fi authors. Ok, let's be honest, if we exclude the 'Douglas', he's my number one.
I love humorous science fiction--especially British! I can't wait to read this one.

Really amazing story about what love can do with us. I like how characters are so real and so vivid, you drown in their story. Natasha is so strong woman and I admire by her. She decided to save her lover despise the fact that they are parted the life gave her to be with another man and forget all her sorrow. But she chooses the love!
Elsa Joseph's novels keep the pages turning.! The plot lines are fantastic, the characters seem real and believable and the writing is rich with description. The Best Kept Secret is a novel with mystery, thriller and romantic elements.
Elsa Joseph is a smart writer. I definitely enjoyed reading her books :)
Elsa Joseph does great work depicting the conflict Natasha is feeling over the two loves in her life. Her writing is original and well worth the read.
Refreshing to read a novel written in Third Person. Natasha is someone you can root for. As for London, what a gorgeous landscape to set
your story in. Been there, so the descriptions bring back fond memories. Good pacing, smart dialogue.

Whoops: Nobody's Perfect David Stone
WHEN IS LOVING THE WRONG PERSON THE RIGHT MOVE?
Tassie Collins has had no luck in love in or outside the bedroom. She’s about to give up when, on an innocent errand, she finds her mother’s lover Tom crying in his workshop. She only means to comfort him, but sparks ignite, and…
Whoops…
They make passionate love. It’s far beyond what Tassie felt possible between a man and woman.
They agree it can never happen again, which by this point means for a fourth time. Oh well. No one is perfect.
A year later, Tassie gets some bad news... Whoops again?

Definitely adding this to my reading list. It sounds whacky and hilarious
The title "Suburban Luchador" sucked me in from the outset, and Philip Rivera's tales of being bossed around by children, dealing with cockroaches, and a quest for minivan parts at a junk yard (or is that 'auto salvage yard'?) are just as enthralling. In the introduction, the author states that he hopes to "highlight the wonder and humor that exists", and I think he has captured this beautifully. "Unfortunately, we live in a world where wonder has been demystified. Dragons and castles are reduced from larger-than-life creations to images on a screen or toys to be put away."
Although I only read a sample of stories from the full edition, Suburban Luchador: Memoirs from Suburbia is a beautifully formatted, well-illustrated book of everyday magic, full of warmth and the wonder of childhood.

Riding Past Midnight - A Western Romance Ella Cooper
Don’t Judge me!
I know I made the worst mistake of my life, but all it took was five years and now I’m back to make amends.
Love was never the intention, I did not see this coming at all,
And neither did I think it would come in a cowboy hat,
Blue eyes, blond hair and a smile that could set me on fire.
Keith Bradley caught me completely unawares and now I’ve fallen deep in love.
What is wrong with me? Do I even deserve this? Deserve him?
If he knows what a monster I am, will he still stay?
I must be strong, I must focus on what I am here for.
I have a responsibility, and a chance to atone for my past sins.
But my present is Keith,
And I’ll be damned if I don’t have him in my future.

Taking Action for a Better Tomorrow
Taking Action for a Better Tomorrow Jeremy P. Boggess
In our world today, there are monumental and exponential changes occurring. These changes are happening not just in the local, international, and global arenas, but even within ourselves. Looking at ourselves, our governments, our societies, humanity, and the world in general, many questions and concerns may come to mind. It is important to look beyond isolationism or globalization. There are many different contributing factors to our immediate surroundings, the cultures we live in, and the changing situations ...

Thank you for this opportunity Jeremy Boggess.
Jeremy's book resonates with me because we seem to see things in a very similar light. The thing that I really connected to is this idea to "discuss our responsibilities and the necessary actions that will help guide us into our future." I believe that true social transformation emerges from the thoughts, ideas, and beliefs that lie within each of us as individuals. To Jeremy's point humanity shares in the responsibility beyond laws and legislature or politics and economics. Much is at stake and the future belongs to all of us.
With the changes happening worldwide, it’s time for us also to embark on a journey of rediscovery and transformation. It is inside yourself that you’ll find a better understanding of each facet of your well-being. Our relationship with each other is deeply ingrained in our sense of humanity as our wholeness. In today’s world, it’s easy to get lost in isolation. Now it is time to invest in yourself and expand your global vision and to act for a better future, this features the best of Jeremy Boggess and an invitation for you in Taking Action for a Better Tomorrow. A must-read for all souls revolutionaries and those who are interested in consciousness and expansion.
Jeremy Boggess is on to something. Most answers are within our selves. It's just a matter of taking audit of yourself and Jeremy Boggess not only looks within but at society as a whole. Far too many things are taken for granted that are not what we believe them to be. This book sheds the needed light.

Vietnam was Hell, and this story brings readers into the heart of the jungle to experience what our brave men in uniform endured during that horrific eight - year - old conflict.
Martin E. Silenus shares his humorous essays about what the way life should be for a hard working male. Not too long, not too short, and definitely entertaining. Reading this is like having a beer and venting with your buddies. Ah, good times!
This sounds like the kind of story that belongs on the big screen because upheavals like these are visually amazing. That's why I want to read it. I want to see if it's a brain workout for the imagination to add those visuals.
This series looks so cool! It may be the next series I didn't realize I needed in my life. Looking forward to checking it out.
I love the cover and title. Cool.
