.@melissa_keir Olympics? Championship? Love? What Will She Choose? #newrelease

5/4/2016

 
Choices are hard. You want it all and yet, sometimes those dreams aren't compatible. It's the first thing that I loved about On the Slopes by Bridie Hall. We have a strong female character who is good, athletically. She's got the skills to become an Olympic medalist. She's trained and let nothing stop her from reaching that goal.

But then a boy comes along. Love finds it's way inside her life and we all know how love and relationships can change things. First, you give up time and practice to hang out with him. Then you put his needs and interests above yours... But in On the Slopes, Charlise keeps her focus on the goal- her dream. Don't take my word for it.... grab your own copy today!!

EXCERPT:
​“Can you drive stick?” Once the rain let up in the afternoon, Sam needed to go into town. It was his turn to buy groceries.
“Sure.” Charlise grabbed at the chance to get out of the house because so much testosterone was doing her head in. “Why?”
Sam let out a breath. “You’re driving, then. I don’t get these European cars. Why can’t they be automatic?”
She chuckled, thrilled to be better at this than one of the boys.
Sam and Todd were from the US, while Thor was German. Most of the film crew was American, hired by their American sponsor. She was the only French on the team.
“Aren’t men supposed to be tech savvy?” she teased him as she started the car and turned up the heater. The temperatures had dropped to around zero, and snow had been forecast for the evening.
“Not being able to drive stick is not a gender thing, it’s cultural,” he said indignantly.
She snickered. “Freud would have a field day with you mentioning stick and gender in the same sentence.”
“Har fucking har,” Sam said, but, despite his grumpy tone, a smile curved his lips.
“It’s a good thing, anyway,” she said smugly. “You not being able to drive around at least means you can’t kick me out because you need me.”
“I’m sure there are others on the team who can drive stick,” he said, challenging her.
She glanced at him with a grin. “I’m sure.” After a pause, she added, “But none of the boys are as cute as me.”
He chuckled, but it annoyed her that he didn’t agree. He always liked to flirt with all the girls at snowboarding competitions, but he never flirted with her. She didn’t feel comfortable being singled out this way. She liked it when boys flirted with her. It made her feel powerful, and it was a big letdown Sam wouldn’t grant her the power.

SAVED BY THE BANG
(A Nuclear Comedy)
Marina Julia Neary

Historical Fiction/Dark Humor, 206 pgs
An Autobiographical novel featuring adventures of an artistic Central European family in light of a nuclear disaster

Welcome to 1980s Belarus, where Polish denim is the currency, “kike” is a pedestrian endearment, and a second-trimester abortion can be procured for a box of chocolates. Antonia Olenski, a catty half-Jewish professor at the Gomel Music Academy, wavers between her flamboyant composer husband, Joseph, and a chivalrous tenor, Nicholas. The Chernobyl disaster breaks up the love triangle, forcing Antonia into evacuation with her annoying eight-year-old daughter, Maryana. After a summer of cruising through Crimean sanatoriums and provoking wounded Afghan veterans, Antonia starts pining for the intrigues and scandals of the Academy. When the queen of cats finally returns home, she finds that new artistic, ethnic, and sexual rivalries have emerged in the afterglow of nuclear fallout. How far will Antonia go to reclaim her throne?

Author's bio:

A self-centered, only child of classical musicians, Marina Julia Neary spent her early years in Eastern Europe and came to the US at the age of thirteen. Her literary career revolves around depicting military and social disasters, from the Charge of the Light Brigade, to the Irish Famine, to the Easter Rising in Dublin, to the nuclear explosion in Chernobyl some thirty miles away from her home town. Notorious for her abrasive personality and politically incorrect views that make her a persona non grata in most polite circles, Neary explores human suffering through the prism of dark humor, believing that tragedy and comedy go hand in hand. Her debut thriller Wynfield's Kingdom was featured on the cover of the First Edition Magazine in the UK and earned the praise of the Neo-Victorian Studies Journal. After writing a series of novels dealing with the Anglo-Irish conflict, she takes a break from the slums of London and the gunpowder-filled streets of Dublin to delve into the picturesque radioactive swamps of her native Belarus. Saved by the Bang: a Nuclear Comedy is a deliciously offensive autobiographical satire featuring sex scandals of Eastern Europe's artistic elite in the face of political upheavals.

I love sharing new stories with my readers, especially when I'm so excited about the book! MS Kaye's latest series- Born in Death, will have you excited too. Illona isn't a "normal" teen. She doesn't fall in love with the jock next door. And her life isn't boring. 
Picture
Ilona discovers what it means to have a mother who is a modern woman and a father who is a 19th-century gentleman ghost.

After being hit by a car and taken to the hospital, Ilona starts to realize she’s different from other people, and that her mother has hidden the truth from her. She sneaks out of the hospital in order to discover the truth.

A mysterious boy named Archer guides her through Brooklyn and introduces her to Hendrick, the man who claims to be her father—though he died in 1890.
​
Ilona must discover not only what she must do to rid the city of Soll, a sadistic and powerful spirit, but also what it means to be half ghost. She proves what her mother told her—love is stronger than death.

.@melissa_keir Killer Kale is Dangerous to your Health! #coverreveal

5/2/2016

 


Killer Kale Chips
Health Nut Mysteries
Patrice Lyle
Gemma Halliday Publishing


In the city that never sleeps, Dr. Piper's search for the perfect wedding dress turns into the search for the perfect murderer. When famous diva Veronica Forks drops dead after eating a bag of Ken's Killer Kale Chips, suspicion falls on former-mafioso-turned-surfer-dude, Ken. 

According to Piper's PI flashcards, Ken has the motive (she witnessed a tiff between him and Veronica), the means (the kale chips), and the opportunity (he was at the expo). But Piper's sure the surfer-dude can't be a killer and, as any good PI knows, the flashcards aren't always right. 

Plus Brownie, Piper's pet pot-bellied pig, is addicted to Ken's Killer Kale Chips, and if Ken's arrested, Brownie will never snack again! So Piper takes it upon herself to root out the murderer who's adding "killer seasoning" to kale chips before he strikes again.
