Way out West, a bad-ass bank robber becomes Earth’s last hope…
Bad Buffalo is a rootin’, tootin’, sharp-shootin’ son of a gun. He’s also the roughest, toughest, meanest gunfighter the West has ever known. In fact, his only friend is a horse named Horse. When Bad Buffalo comes to town, people get out of Dodge. Literally.
But when Bad Buffalo meets Dia the fairy, she begs for his help. Intergalactic worms have returned to raid the planet and suck the Earth dry of its magic. When the magic is gone—and so, the fairies—the Earth will stop turning on its axis.
Bad Buffalo is a reluctant cowboy hero, so Dia strikes a tantalizing bargain with him: If he plugs up the wormholes and saves Earth, she’ll be his gal. Yes, in that way...and in that order.
So, have gun will travel—through space and time and the singularities. But it’s sure going to take a lot of Bad Buffalo’s bullets to plug those wormholes. Can this unlikely pair save the Earth from utter destruction by the voracious alien worms?
In THE WORM RETURNS, bestselling authors Piers Anthony and J.R. Rain craft a rollicking cross-genre tale of an antihero gunslinger with grit and a brilliant faery who must join forces to save the planet. Fans of classic Westerns, magical fantasy and campy science fiction will delight in this hilarious, fast-paced genre mashup about a planet that’s being devoured by a diabolical species—and a true love that transcends the universe.

From New York Times bestseller Heather Graham...
It's winter and a chill has settled over New Orleans, binding a stream of blood that leads a tourist to a dead man, face down in the bayou.
The man has been done in by a vicious beating, so violent that his skull has been crashed in.
It's barely a day before a second victim is found . . . once again so badly thrashed that the water runs red. The city becomes riddled with fear.
An old family friend comes to Danni Cafferty, telling her that he's terrified, he's certain that he's received a message from the Blood Bayou killer--It's your turn to pay, blood on the bayou.
The two quickly become involved, and--as they all begin to realize that a gruesome local history is being repeated--they find themselves in a fight to save not just a friend, but, perhaps, their very own lives. Views: 811
Companionship is a good thing.
Relationships are not.
My name is Emily Wade and I was raised to believe that happily ever after didn’t exist. That relationships were doomed before they even started, and that as long as the attraction to someone is purely physical, life is uncomplicated and good. I lived by that and was probably the only anti-relationship person in the world. I found myself in the midst of so much man drama that I decided to take a hiatus from the dating world. Until I met the brutally handsome CEO of Caine Property Development & Management, Jackson Caine. He was as anti-relationship as I was and wanted to negotiate a deal that would let us have our cake and eat it too.
My mother was on her fourth husband.
My father was on his fifth wife.
My name is Jackson Caine and I grew up in a world where I was taught that nothing lasts forever. I saw and lived the destruction each relationship my parents had and it was something I never wanted. I was career driven, successful, the boss of my own life, and as anti-relationship as one could be. I’d had my fill of women and the drama that went with them. Until I met Emily Wade. A beautiful woman who understood and shared the same thoughts I did. We were the perfect companions for each other. No complications, no drama, and certainly no commitment, ever. We negotiated a deal that would suit both of us, and as long as no one broke the rules that were set in place, we both could have our cake and eat it too.

I am an Occupational Therapist. Twice, I have injured myself, giving me a different perspective of my profession. This is my account of sitting on the other side of therapy. I would like this book to serve as education on the importance of Occupational Therapy services.Somebody gets his computer home, takes it out the box, plugs in and sees if it will work. This is the start of the story. And it is one that so many people know from their own lives. Really, this story is one of record. And it is for so many people like the character in this book who got a computer home just like that. Views: 810
Following the success of Scotfree Tales From Scotland, Scotfree2 is now available for downloading. However, instead of nine tales, this time only six. How mean is that?Alice Reaver is not her real name but that's who she'll have to be at yet another new school in another new town that her fugitive father has dumped them in for her safety. It's been like this for eight long years, ever since they came home to find her mother brutally murdered. It was probably a message to her father, an almost reformed assassin. Maybe it was payback from the shady, quasi-government jokers he used to work for and betrayed or from one of his victims' families. Whatever. After spending half her life lying to everyone she meets, discarding identities and hair colors like dirty socks, and learning how to kill in dozens of different ways, "Alice" is done. She's made some friends at Oxford High - her first ever. One of them needs the help of her lethal skill sets to stay alive. And maybe she's met a boy - or two. Her father can let her have a life or he can kill her for breaking curfew and their survival protocol. But she's not leaving without a fight that will test everything he's ever taught her. Views: 810
