The Merman and The Moon Forgotten
Author: Kevin McGill
Publisher: Aero Studios via PublishDrive
ISBN:
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 150
Book Description
From highly rated author, Kevin McGill: Sometime in the near future, Earth is going to end. What’s fourteen-year-old Nick to do? Escape to a fantastic world teeming with magical creatures of course. What Nick doesn’t realize is the fantastic can be more perilous than the future. On Earth, Nick Lyons and his friends fear the deadly geneva virus, live under the ever-watchful eye of the nannydrones, and fight to stay out of the US’s many refugee camps. Nick’s grandfather and his mysterious friend offer an escape to a better world. Surprisingly, this new world is the moon, and it’s teeming with life-breathing airships, mysterious volcano born nymphs, fire-breathing winged lions, and magic at the tip of your tongue. The catch is Nick must also accept the role of protector over the merfolk, who are being hunted down by the sinister sheriff and his thousand-eyed monsters. Nick wants to lead his friends to a better life, but he will soon discover the fantastic can be more perilous than the future. When you buy The Merman and The Moon Forgotten, you’ll experience Nick's boisterous and heart-felt adventure as he seeks to save his friends and a race of moon-dwelling merfolk. If the kids from Stranger Things’ took a fantastic journey to the moon, you’d get Nikolas and Company. ___________________________________ "Pure awesome in a cup. With some waffles. Which would make it a waffle load." - Austin 14 "My boys 11 and 14 both really enjoyed the story and only complained that book 2 wasn't out yet so they couldn't keep reading." - Fred Chambers "As an adult, I love this series, the characters, the plot twists. I haven't enjoyed a fantasy series this much since I read Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. I've already added you my list of favorite authors." - Reehya Bagwandin "I have to admit, before I could snuggle up under my blankies with this fantastical book, my son beat me to it. He read it in a single day and raved." - Elizabeth Mueller Review from my 13-year old daughter: "This was an imaginative, well-written novel similar to the Hitchhiker's Guide books and was a pleasure to read. The author did a good job and hopefully has more in store." Sara Grace "Nikolas and company is the best book I've ever read. It was full of surprises that kept me on the edge, it also full of awkward moments that made me laugh." - J-Man "Kevin has created a fun, unique fantasy world full of magic and adventure. The story gets off to a fast start and sucks you in." - Micah Lewis "great YA fantasy, funny, a very unique premise, very well written, great descriptions, and a great band of heroes." - Julie Johnson "Once I immersed myself in the stories characters and settings I couldn't put it down." Pam Torres "It's great for anyone that loves fantasy, science fiction, it's clean with just the slightest hint of boys and girls taking a notice of each other." Heather

Publisher: Eat, Pray, #Fml
ISBN: 9781733963725
Category : Humor

Pages : 392
Book Description
Eat, Pray, #FML quickly found its audience-rather its worldwide tribe of women-who have fiercely followed Gabrielle into the fiery pits of heartache, through the sometimes-ugly valleys of depression, on the roller coaster highs and lows of solo travel, and into the depths of what it really means to love yourself-healing. As the book fans demanded more, and Eat, Pray, #FML became the heartbreak Bible, it was clear that Gabrielle would need to deliver a sequel-but not just any sequel. A sequel that would have all the wild love affairs, the devastating heartbreaks, the magic of solo travel, and the captivating drama we think only exists in the untamed fiction novels we read-and Gabrielle replied, challenge accepted. The Ridiculous Misadventures of a Single Girl has all of the above. It gives readers an intimate look into what Gabrielle went through when she returned home from her grand European adventure, the challenges she faced as she tried to put the pieces back together, the men-new and old-that shook her world, and the epic conclusion to the real-life story so many have become invested in. If you thought Eat, Pray, #FML was a wild ride, just wait until readers sit down to devour the follow-up that has all the characters they fell in love with, new highs and lows to ride, a soul-defining journey to the other side of the world, and answers to all of their burning questions-this, is The Ridiculous Misadventures of a Single Girl.

Monstrous Penetrations: Monster Erotica 4-Book Bundle
Author: Nixie Fairfax
Publisher: Nixie Fairfax
ISBN: 8829538302
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 82
Book Description
Four tales of sexy young woman screaming in mingled pain and pleasure as they’re roughly taken by insatiable, hugely hung monsters. Included in this bundle are: Unstoppable - Lacey is a Space Marine, trained to be tough, trained to fight. But all her training won’t help her when she finds herself alone and on the run from a hulking, massively hung alien monster in a remote research base. Her laser rifle won’t stop it. Grenades won’t stop it. The base’s titanium-reinforced doors won’t stop it. Nothing will stop it until it gets what it wants—to roughly have its way with the sexy young soldier. Taken by the Ogres – Furious at being forced into an arranged marriage, Arabella Stroud runs away from home to teach her overbearing father a lesson. But she makes the mistake of cutting through Stonemouth Forest, where she learns a lesson of her own when she’s captured by a trio of ogres, and the huge, well-hung brutes roughly have their way with her. Like an Animal – Dr. Celestia Devereux of W.E.I.R.D.’s Cryptozoology Division has seen her share of unusual monsters. But the group’s latest acquisition is different: The incredibly well-endowed beast clearly lusts after Celestia. Though she knows she shouldn’t, she can’t help teasing the captive monster with some tantalizing peeps of the body it wants so badly. It’s just a little good-natured fun…until the hulking creature bursts from its supposedly escape-proof cell and roughly takes the sexy scientist. Deflowered by Bigfoot - When she joined W.E.I.R.D.’s Cryptozoology Division, innocent young Tammy Underwood knew she was in for some surprising experiences. But she never imagined she would wind up buck naked in the deep woods, serving as bait in a Bigfoot hunt. Nor could she imagine that the scheme would go awry, and she would find herself completely at the mercy of the rough beastman.

With nowhere to go and no one to turn to, Casey loses control of her emotions and her car, crashing into a hillside below a mortuary. Desperately seeking shelter, and more so independence, she finds herself taken in by the mortuary director who apprehensively offers her a job and a place to live. As she stumbles through the ins and outs of her new and morbid surroundings, Casey is forced into a hostile custody battle with her relentless and increasingly violent husband. In the midst of all the chaos, she finds a new family and even love in the eccentric and protective people of Golden Oaks Funeral Home. But just when she has found all she could hope for, she will have to fight to the death to protect it.

Book Description
Over the course of 80 years television has produced countless programs, many of which fit a particular profile. Did you know, for example, some programs are devoted to ghosts, genies, angels and even mermaids? Color broadcasting was first tested in 1941? Live models were used to advertise lingerie as early as 1950? Or that nudity (although accidental) occurred on TV long before cable was even thought possible? These are just a few of the many facts and firsts that can be found within the 145 entries included. Appropriate for fans and scholars, and bursting with obscure facts, this work traces the evolution of specific topics from 1925 through the 2005-2006 season. Entries include such diverse themes as adolescence, adult film actresses on TV, bars, espionage, gays, immigrants, lawyers, transsexuals and truckers, as well as locations like Canada, Hawaii, New York and Los Angeles. Each entry is arranged as a timeline, clearly displaying how television's treatment of the subject has changed through the years. Each entry is as complete as possible and contains series, pilot, special and experimental program information. Whether just a fan of television and eager to know more about the medium or a scholar seeking hard-to-find facts and information, this book traces the history of specific topics from television's infancy to its changes in the early twenty-first century.
