After four years with Alexei, there are a few things Mike knows with absolute certainty: he loves Alexei, Alexei loves him, and Alexei gives the very best gifts. This Christmas is no exception, though Mike is having a hell of a time figuring out what, exactly, Alexei’s gift is. Alexei knows his gift this year is going to blow Mike’s mind, but in the meantime, it’s pretty hilarious watching Mike try to figure out what it is. Granted, Alexei does have a lot of surprises in store for Mike this week, and it sure as hell isn’t frankincense and myrrh.

Book Description
’Tis the season for double seduction. The only item on Jana Colton’s Christmas list this year is Kevin Monahan. Preferably naked in her bed. The delicious, hunky chef has been resisting her forever, but she’s pulling out all the sexy stops this holiday. Especially since his acceptance of an out-of-state job threatens to nix her quest to rock his boxers off. Jana has always been Kevin’s personal Kryptonite, but giving in to her isn’t an option. Relationships are a four-letter word in his book. He cares far too much for Jana to let his emotional baggage ultimately break her heart. With the arrival of his best friend, Nick Pappas, the balance of temptation shifts. From their past history of sharing women, Nick knows every dirty trick it takes to lead Kevin astray, and he’s not afraid to use them. Particularly since Nick’s convinced that Jana is exactly what Kevin needs to be happy and whole. Their game of seduction quickly snowballs into something that feels an awful lot like love—in triplicate. But with Kevin dead set on leaving Michigan, there’s a real possibility it could be a blue Christmas for them all. Warning: This M/F/M menage contains an extremely tormented voyeur, a very naughty and not so saintly Nick, a liberal application of candy cane-flavored body paint, a buzzing butterfly, and enough raunchy fun on a sex swing to melt a snowman…or two.

Harmony River
Author: Stephen Jaech
Publisher: Pleasure Boat Studio: A Nonprofit Literary Press
ISBN: 1545760373
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 106
Book Description
Rooted in the landscape and culture of the Pacific Northwest, Jaech found formative literary influences in Mother Goose, Theodore Roethke, William Stafford, Nelson and Beth Bentley, David Wagoner, and Richard Hugo. As an heir to the legacies of Blake and Neruda, Jaech’s images remain near the borderland between the real and surreal and seek to reach beyond the commonplace and into the unforeseen. Drawing clarity from ambivalence, Harmony River is the culmination of years of dedication to writing and teaching poetry, and to the epiphanic grace of making art. There's lots to laud in Harmony River, Stephen Jaech's new poetry collection, but what engages me most is Jaech's willingness to proffer an abundance of sensorial detail… the reader doesn't spectate; s/he participates. -Michael Darcher, Author of Odd Comfort and The Silver State Stories Stephen Jaech’s long-awaited collection… views with empathy and subtle wisdom… Where there is loss or pain… there is also redemption found glancingly in a slant of light or the daily changes of “Today, a sweet magnolia, tomorrow a field of snow.”…To sum up the book: “the wonder comes out/ from the trembling of his heart.” -Sherry Rind, The Storehouse of Wonder and Astonishment and Between States of Matter In Steve Jaech’s gem lode of a book… I had to sit back and absorb, to read random lines and savor parts of the original experience… -James Cervantes, author of From Mr. Bondo's Unshared Life and Sleepwalker's Songs: New & Selected Poems

Publisher: Starboard Rock Press
ISBN: 1733714421
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Advancements in artificial intelligence and robotics are accelerating, and killer robots loom on the horizon. Like the atomic bomb, warbots raise moral dilemmas for their creators. And also new fears, because they might go rogue and attack civilians - or even their own makers. In the Argus Affair, U.S. president Henry Dodge Yazzi confronts the challenge head on, recruiting cybersecurity expert Frank Adversego to help avert an arms race with the Chinese that could have catastrophic results. But unknown to all, another force to be reckoned with has plans of its own. Soon, most of the world’s leading artificial intelligence and robotics experts find themselves in a dire situation that none could have imagined and perhaps no one can control.
Andrew Updegrove brings a rare combination of drama, satire and technical accuracy to his writing. The result is a book you can't put down that tells you things you might wish you didn't know.
Admiral James G. Stavridis, retired Commander, U.S. European Command and NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe, and current Dean of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy
Andrew Updegrove's thrillers are realistic page-turners, making it clear that if you're not worried about cybersecurity you're not paying attention. Internationally renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier
