Book Description
"Like Inglourious Basterds for tweens, this clever YA title features Sarah, a blond, blue-eyed Jewish girl in 1939 Germany."--The New York Post After her mother is shot at a checkpoint, fifteen-year-old Sarah finds herself on the run from the Nazis in Third Reich-ruled Germany. While trying to escape, Sarah meets a mysterious man with an ambiguous accent, a suspiciously bare apartment, and a lockbox full of weapons. He's part of the secret resistance against the Reich, and he needs her help. Sarah is to hide in plain sight at a boarding school for the daughters of top Nazi brass, posing as one of them. She must befriend the daughter of a key scientist to gain access to the blueprints for a bomb that could destroy the cities of Western Europe, and steal them. Sarah may look like the rest of the girls, innocent, blonde-haired, and young, but she refuses to become one of the monsters she's surrounded by. She's a brilliant con artist, convincing them she's one of them even as she lives in terror of being found out. And she's determined to get her revenge on them all.

Book Description
Who looks outside dreams, who looks inside awakes. (Jung) Gods Gangsters Is a short story of 13,500 words that takes place over a three day period, in the life of a sixteen year old African American drug dealer and gang member, Walter Butz. Walter was raised by very religious parents, who believe in a literal translation of the Bible. This narrow religious view completely turns him off to any belief in God. After the death of his father, a clergyman, he falls in with his brother-in-law, a gang leader and drug dealer in Brooklyn. It is after being shot by rival gang members; the young Walter is wounded, and begins a Journey or realization that there is a deeper side to being human, a spiritual side. With the help of a few guldes along the way, he is able to alter his perception of reality, and in this truer light, change his life. Imagination is more important than knowledge, is a quote from Albert Einstein. Considered a cerebrell, logical, calculating, conscous intellect, there was also another side to his thinking. The feeling, instinctive, intuitive subconscious, the source of a higher consciousness. This is a story of rediscovery of a greater self; we are all part of.

Book Description
Love or Music… Which should they choose and what price do they have to pay? If bad boy, Mac Whitehead believed in ancient legends, he’d know exactly what to choose, no matter the cost… Meanwhile, despite hot rockstar looks and a raspy voice, nothing is going his way. Mac blames Tully for his run of bad luck. And he’s convinced Kit is the solution to all his problems. But Mac has never paid any attention to Kit before, not even when she had a crush on him. She knows it can mean only one thing. He wants something. But what could possibly persuade Kit to help arch-enemy, Mac Whitehead? What Early Readers Say… Reading Mac's story— I feel like I understand him better now. Despite how poorly Mac treats and uses the people around him— this book has added a lot of emotional complexity to his character. It was great to see the other characters again! It felt like visiting with old friends. I applaud Mocha's ability to help us better understand Mac and to comprehend his personal struggles despite his terrible behavior and very flawed characteristics as a person. I highly recommend this book and series! (Goodreads Review) Another winner in the Kit and Tully series, it was a strong fourth book in this series. I enjoyed the previous three books and this was just as good. (NetGalley Review) The story was brilliant with a great mix of characters and short enough to read in one sitting. I loved this book as much as the other 3 books in the series and really look forward to reading more by Mocha. (Goodreads Review) This short book is an interesting insight into the Kit and Tully universe. I haven't read the other books in the series, but this one can be read as a standalone story. (Goodreads Review) As with the rest of this series so far, I absolutely loved this one! While I'm still not a particularly big Mac fan, I did love getting a short stay inside his head, seeing what he thought of everything. I think I loved this one even more than the last one and I'm looking forward to seeing how the next one goes and whose side we get to hear it from. (Goodreads Review) We are back in the Kit and Tully world and boy was I glad to be back, even though we were following my least favorite character Mac. He has rock star personality but does not want to put in the work to be a rock star. I can't wait to see how this series goes though, I will definitely be keeping an eye out for the next book.

Book Description
Spicy snacks are hot and fast. They’re for the people who skip long lead-ups to get to the steamy bits. No skipping here, it’s straight into the action. The perfect quickie for when you haven’t much time. And here’s eight snacks for the same price as two individual stories! Book 1 - Sandy wakes up to a horny husband, but she knows they only have time for a quickie. She looks after him and says he can pay her back later. But all day she can’t stop thinking about how it felt, and looking forward to the next time. When she gets home, Jon has arranged for the children to have a sleepover so they have the house to themselves. And he is going to pay her back in the most delightful way! Book 2 - Sally has a problem with her new trousers. She thinks they make her bum look big. Simon agrees, so he suggests that she take them off. And he has that look in his eye. The one which says he loves her big bum, and would be thrilled to prove just how much he loves it. What could possibly happen next? Book 3 - Sharon’s work dinner is stunningly boring. She has to pretend to be interested, but her mind is on what happens afterwards, when her husband takes her home and screws her senseless! Being a female boss in a man’s world can be tiring. You have to maintain your authority, but without being too harsh. You have to make the right decisions, knowing that you’re responsible for many other people besides yourself. So sometimes it’s nice to let go of responsibility, to let someone else take charge, to be His To Command. Book 4 - Jenny is feeling frustrated. Her girlfriend has been working all hours and they haven’t had time together for weeks. So she is intrigued when Mary tells her that she is setting up Project FJBO. What could it mean? * * Spoiler alert – the last three words are “Jenny’s Brains Out!” Book 5 - That look. What did it mean? Nothing, surely. I must be imagining it. She couldn’t be flirting with me. And I certainly couldn’t be responding to her. I wasn’t a lesbian. But, maybe, just possibly, if I had to be honest, I might admit to being a little bit curious. Surely it couldn’t hurt to visit her, to “see her trophy room”. So Claire visits. What does Jacqui do? Does Claire satisfy her curiosity? Book 6 - It’s helpful to have a good understanding of body language. People can convey a lot without speaking any words. If you know how to read the signals, the results can be interesting! Julie and Steve are away on a well deserved break from their children. When Julie gets up in the morning and sits beside Steve on the couch, she thinks they are going to discuss what to do with the day. He sees her thin singlet and skimpy panties and interprets her body language in a very different way! Whose interpretation is correct? What signals do their bodies send? And will they send the same signals again? Book 7 - It was a race. A two-person race, but it was still important. Because the winner got the power of command, they got to command the loser to do whatever they wanted. And after half an hour of watching her tight butt wriggle as she ran in front of me, I knew exactly what I would command. But first I had to win! Does Matt win the race? What will he command if he does? Can he claim the bottom prize? Book 8 - What treat do you get your lover for winning an important match? A luxurious massage would be good. A professional, responsible, treatment massage? Of course not. This massage comes with lots of benefits! Claire has won the club championships. Her coach, Jacqui, is also her lover. So Claire gets an extra special treat, and discovers that Jacqui has some special equipment that has never appeared on the tennis court!

Book Description
A JOURNEY THROUGH TIME—BACK TO BOSTON! 1462: an alien who feasts on the suffering of sentient beings dines off the agonies of Vlad the Impaler’s twenty-thousand victims near Targoviste, Romania. 1688: a woman is framed for witchcraft and hanged by the neck in Boston. 1965: a toy store that never seems to run out of special toys is suspected of being the location of a temporal portal, the same one used by the agony-feeding alien. 2022: a grandfather, showing his young grandchildren what remains of the Boston of his youth, is shown that portal by his granddaughters. And they’re off! Off through the gate that grants wishes, off to deal with time travel, off to break and enter, off to endure the pain of seeing afresh loved ones long since departed in their own time. They’re off to deal with hardened, murderous criminals and with equally murderous aliens. And all of that is set around the time of Christmas joy, in old, fine hotels, with presents, fresh loves, Handel’s Messiah, a department store’s enchanted village, old delicacies, modern weapons, lasers . . . and a very special calico cat. At the publisher’s request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management). Praise for The Romanov Rescue: “This alternate history employs vibrant steampunk vibes and aptly captures the uncertainties of the tumultuous era, as well as the courageous desperation of the world-weary men and women involved. Fans of detailed and technical military fiction will enjoy this, as well as those who appreciate real historical figures as characters.” —Library Journal Praise for the Carrera series: “Kratman raises disquieting questions on what it might take to win the war on terror . . . realistic action sequences, strong characterizations, and thoughts on the philosophy of war.” —Publishers Weekly “[I]nterplanetary warfare with . . . [a] visceral story of bravery and sacrifice . . . fans of the military SF of John Ringo and David Weber should enjoy this SF action adventure.” —Library Journal “Kratman’s dystopia is a brisk page turner full of startling twists . . . [Kratman is] a professional military man . . . up to speed on military and geopolitical conceits.” —Mark Steyn, best-selling author of America Alone on Caliphate Praise for Tom Kratman: “[Baen publisher] Toni [Weisskopf] and I disagree about everything except about how good his books are.” —John Birmingham
