Everybody has a story...These are ours... by Audrey N Lewis

Title: Everybody has a story...These are ours...

Blub:

Family relationships. Friendships. Finding our Place. This collection is a series of narratives exploring events, experiences and memories. Each short work, while unique, brings the reader in touch with the inner monologue of the characters bringing their reality to life. Mother, Father, Sister, Brother, Daughter, Son, Wife, and Husband – this book pulls together seven independent stories into a compelling, and thought-provoking anthology. While the focus is on the women – the men in these stories provide an interesting counterpoint. Readers meet: Lexi’s mom, as she struggles to understand her daughter; Abigail, now grown, remembering her nanny Chamele and the life lessons she shared; a sister trying to forge an adult relationship with a once-adored older sibling; a woman finding beauty in a place others have forgotten; another woman finding a true understanding of what holds meaning to her; Claire, the empty-nester and her “girls night out” group with an unusual twist, and Megan – lost but not forgotten. But don’t judge a book by its cover, in each story nothing is exactly as it seems.

Amongst The Killing by Joe Compton

Title: Amongst The Killing

Blurb:

There are 2 sides to every story...

For as long as he could remember Detective Charles Street wanted to be a police officer, moreover a Detective. He wanted to be knee deep in the action, working the biggest cases, and reaping the biggest rewards. He also didn’t think when his dream job came a calling that it would ever turn into his nightmare.

For as long as he could remember Jack Casey just wanted to be free, his own man to do what he pleased when pleased. He too craved the action and when his dream life came a calling, he didn’t think he would meet anyone his equal and definitely didn’t think he could ever have difficulty leave the world he loathed and mocked behind.

Amongst The Killing documents each of their stories, told in their own words, as the moments unfolded when their paths first crossed and their lives intersected. How two men, with two different philosophies, could be so different and yet so connected.

As the ultimate cat and mouse game unfolds, each has to deal separately with the others decisions and the effects it has in turning their lives sideways and upside down. Will one of them crack? Will one of them even succeed? Ultimately the journey may mean more than the game and show both of them the outcome neither was ever expecting.

An Epiphany On Wall Street by _anonym

Title: An Epiphany On Wall Street

Series: Nine Inch Bride

Blurb:

FEED YOUR SOUL
ARM YOUR OUTLOOK

The Nine Inch Bride series turns a fictional lens on national and world events that is as clear, focused and hard-hitting as the best non-fiction and journalism in America today.

A NEW KIND OF SCIENCE FICTION
This is not the galactic sci-fi you've come to expect. No wild-eyed future is depicted here. The Nine Inch Bride series begins with imaginative storytelling where non-fiction thought leaders leave off, providing a subtly harrowing preview of 'coming attractions.'

A CREDIBLE HYPER-CAPITALIST DYSTOPIA
The first book in this remarkably original and literate series of political novels is An Epiphany On Wall Street, where revolutionary meets 'The Street' in a well-paced and utterly absorbing 280 something pages—a bonfire of western political culture!

DANGEROUS CURVES AHEAD
Working at many levels to recast today's big questions in a fresh lens, An Epiphany On Wall Street begins as a psychological study of Ken, a Wall St. analyst brought down in a market crash, and develops into a kind of meta-democratic polemic led in riotous dialog by the uniquely eloquent Sa.

The conversation, continued in "A Stone of Conscience," book two in the series, is sharply revealing of our times and all the more disturbing behind its gossamer veil of what lies ahead. Prescriptive fiction at its best!

Their uncanny story will enchant you and leave you with an enriched sense of what we can achieve.

BabyWorld by Jonathan Martin Dixit

Title: BabyWorld

Blurb

In 2067, the murder of a five-year-old girl leads a young lawyer to the despicable truth behind the creation of a race of chemically adulterated children.

BabyWorld is a crime mystery, soft science fiction novel that explores the psychological dysfunction occurring in families suffering from suppressed trauma. With its taboo-breaking subject matter, tempered by an almost children’s fairy tale-like style, it is written for a mature, literary audience.

Toronto, September 2067. Ten percent of babies born are SMARTED; physically, emotionally and sexually they grow at normal rates, but cognitively they develop so fast that by six years old they graduate university and enter the heavily-taxed workforce, thus supporting Canada’s high standard of living—the highest in an otherwise polluted, politically volatile and over-populated world…

SINIKA REICHMAN is a nine-and-a-half-year-old lawyer having problems determining whether she is a child or an adult. When the case of a raped and murdered, non-smarted, five-year-old girl is outsourced to her firm, Sinika is put in charge of the prosecution. Partnered with twenty-five-year-old NATHAN TOWERS, the office wunderkind, who is non-smarted and hates those who are, Sinika’s augmented abilities are put to the test as she skilfully dismisses one suspect after another. Her unregulated emotions become strained, however, as she encounters events she can’t handle and concepts she can’t process.

Once Were Friends by Mark Victor Young

Title: Once Were Friends

Blurb:

If you think it’s hard to win back the one that got away, try doing it while you’re taking over her family's company.

To save the firm his father built, ambitious CEO Hal Mercer has to initiate a hostile takeover of industry giant D'Arville Industries.

Owned by the family of the only woman he's ever loved, Kate certainly isn't going to stand by and let him destroy her family's empire. If only she’d have dinner with him, he could make her understand his intentions. If Hal fails, it's his family’s company that's doomed, his employees who'll lose their jobs. He can't let that happen, but Hal isn't used to having everyone counting on him like this.

Problem is, it’s becoming less clear which is more important to him—winning the corporate battle of his life or the heart of the woman he loves.
