DOWNLOAD EBOOKAt the end of World War II, twenty-year-old Vera is brutally raped by an unknown assailant. From that rape is born a boy named Fred, a misfit who later becomes a talented boxer. Vera’s young son, Barnum, forms a special but bizarre relationship with his half brother, fraught with rivalry and dependence as well as love. “I should have been your father,” Fred tells Barnum, “instead of the fool who says he is.” It is Barnum, who is now a screenwriter with a fondness for lies and alcohol, who narrates his family’s saga. As he shares his family’s history, he chronicles generations of independent women and absent and flawed men whom he calls the Night Men. Among them is his father, Arnold, who bequeaths to Barnum his circus name, his excessively small stature, and a con man’s belief in the power of illusion. Filled with a galaxy of finely etched characters, this prize-winning novel is a tour de force and a literary masterpiece richly deserving of the accolades it has received.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKJosie Sheehan collects failed relationships the way some women collect designer handbags. Now, at thirty-five, she has exactly one male in her life: her Labradoodle, Genghis. In fact Josie, along with the three very single women in her dog-walking group, has recently sworn off men, resigning herself to long walks in the park with her devoted, four-legged friend. All bets are off, however, when she meets Rick Rousseau, a pet-company CEO who is smart, sexy, and, best of all, head-over-heels for Josie. Even Genghis, an excellent judge of character, seems to know that Rick is the real deal. But just when Josie starts to think that she has found something more enduring than puppy love, she discovers that Rick has a complicated past—and a secret that could put the woman he loves in serious danger...

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSome of Elmer's poems were getting lost so family and friends urged him to write a book to preserve them. Finally in 2007, Elmer decided to write the book. But rather than just preserve the poems, he decided to also include vignettes of memories as a child of the Great Depression, World War II, career, second courtship and life as an innkeeper. The memories reflect Elmer's strict Christian upbringing, years of rebellion, then a return to his spiritual roots. The poems sandwiched between the vignettes run from the nearly risque to spiritual. Most of the old stories set to verse are meant to amuse you and Elmer's memories may remind you of your own."

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book explores five generations of the Barnes family, concentrating on the author's father, Carl F. Barnes, whose nickname was "Carefree"-derived from the fact that for many years he went on drinking sprees that were sometimes frightening and sometimes humorous (at least in hindsight). Who else could show up with a rowboat in the driveway without any recollection of where, or why, he got it-and not have a lake to put it in? Carefree abused alcohol intermittently for thirty years, then suddenly (and unexpectedly) quit drinking for the last thirty years of his life. The author's mother's life is likewise examined: how she coped with Carefree's drinking and with the sorrow of the accidental death of her younger son. The author discusses his difficult relationship with his parents, especially his mother. For many years estranged from his sons, he explains how he and they made peace and became good friends through the efforts of their stepmother. Looking to the future, the author also includes his grandchildren. The story is told in word and picture, there being more than one hundred photos covering the span of a century. Is this an exceptional family? No, not in a political sense or social sense. It is family like many others, one that experienced laughs and tears, stresses and strains, triumphs and tragedies. The family motto was AD ASTRA PER ASPERA, "To the Stars through Hardship."

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe author "Larry Winston" dedicated a book entitled "Yes Sir" to his father soon after his fathers passing. Larry promised his mother he`d write one honoring her as well. He asked her if she had a title in mind, without missing a beat his mother replied "My Mother", hence the title "My Mother". The book celebrates the life and times of Larry and his eight siblings mother. The book shares memories, both light hearted and heart wrenching of the daily struggles and triumphs of a wife and mother of eight. This is not a novel, nor is it a memoir, it`s simply a compilation of stories and feelings the author has for his very own angel on Earth, before she was ultimately blessed with her very own wings. Of course most people will shout from the roof tops, their mothers were saints, or angels, but in this authors sometimes devilish way, he makes a valid point.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK“I will be transformed into something beautiful, but at what cost?” My name is Samantha, but I prefer Sam. I’m ordinary, which is fine. It’s just I want to be ordinary somewhere else—not here in this small town, living with my too-busy-to-care parents. But ordinary ends the day Greg Papilio—a dark-haired, blue-eyed hottie—saves me from a mysterious, magical stranger who blows up my car and swears he’ll be back to finish the job. Turns out, I’m not ordinary. In fact, Greg says I’m not even human, but the member of a dying race. He says I’ll soon change and lose my free will. But that’s crazy, no one can live enslaved by their own instincts and the whims of Fate. To drive the final screw into ordinary and prove me wrong, another stranger shows up claiming to be my fated mate. He’s cute, but no thank you. I make my own decisions, and they don’t involve moving into his fancy castle or becoming the leader of his people. The truth is… I’ve fallen for Greg, and I don’t care that I’m not supposed to love him. I will fight Fate and anything else that stands in my way to be with him, even if it kills me. Keeper has magic, forbidden love and adventure, and will appeal to lovers of paranormal romance, urban fantasy, and The Mortal Instruments series. *** The Morphid Chronicles trilogy is complete—3 full-length novels of 80,000+ words each ***

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn the 1970s, Rian makes a choice outside the norm. Not only is she a woman with a husband and children, but she also becomes one of the first female police officers. In her quest for excitement and fulfillment, she climbs a mountain one step at a time through a mire of prejudice, egos, and archaic attitudes. Great Mystery is inspired by the author’s own life experiences and tells the story of Rian McCarren Clark, a woman police officer who battles for the innocents. She fights for the victims of a judicial system that often re-victimized them and left families in tatters. This portrays the life of a hero who broke the barriers of a man’s world in law enforcement. As she gets older, she is left with memories of victims of violence, greed, decadence, and perversion. She also finds love, loss, and the fulfillment of family, all while caring for the abused and neglected.
