It was the story of a lifetime, the kind of story every reporter dreams of doing. It made her famous, made her money, but what was the cost of that? to the point, was the cost worth the payout? It was hard for her to keep her head straight, because she had become obsessed...The Kingdom of Heaven has been downsized to a single city. And to save overcrowding, God has a new chosen race and set of entry qualifications. In the modern hereafter only good Americans go to Paris when they die. But not even a divinely ordered bureaucracy is infallible and five not-so-good Americans find themselves thrown together and trapped in a surreal limbo while awaiting official ruling on their fate: return to the void of death or return outside to the Paris of their twenty-fifth year.They are an ill-assorted lot: randy 1900s marine Louis Forster; Maggie Thompson, an over-sexed 1930s fan dancer; neurotic 1940s New York intellectual Seymour Stein;modern-day foul-mouthed truck-driver, Max Pilsudski; Helen Ricchi, the mysterious and bookish wallflower suspected of murder after her husband's disappearance in the Paris of the 1950s. And these desperate departed will stop at nothing to return to the land of the living and repair flawed lives and fractured loves. Views: 294

For as long as he could remember, Aaron and his family are so involved in this lil baptist church, where everybody knows everybody. But one day another family joins and Aaron makes a new Friend, Bryson...but soon both Aaron and Bryson discover they were meant to be more than just friends......Ward's Laws has appeared on the iTunes Humour genre charts 11 times. It has appeared on charts in Australia, USA.Ward’s Laws is a silly thing I started on Facebook. When I first opened my account I did what every other forty-something year old does, I froze. I didn’t know what to write.I started posting the usual stuff. I talked about my day, my dog, my bathroom habits and said LOL a lot, but that just wasn’t me. I wanted to do something more. I wanted to contribute to the good of the world (are you believing any of this yet?) After reinventing myself I started posting my observations of the world around me in the form of Ward’s Laws.I now wrote about funny observations I made about everyday life. Silly word plays as well as things we see and do all the time but never question. As the number of new posts grew, my friends on the site started telling me that I needed to publish these laws as a book. At first I was flattered, but their constant encouragement, LOL's, and retweets gave me the fortitude to create the book you are about to read. If your still not sure, download the free sample and see if my laws make you laugh. Views: 285

Angels fight for Heaven, demons fight for Hell and no one fights for the humans caught in the middle—except the reapers. The greatest of humanity’s offerings, they’re chosen at a young age and cultivated into instruments of vengeance. This order alone fights to keep the balance in our world, steeped in controversy, rejected by those in Heaven and condemned by the monsters in Hell. Views: 274

It is the first book in a fantasy action adventure romance series. Try the first book also.On the planet Terra when recorded history began, Man coexisted with the Necroms. Necroms were intelligent catlike humanoids. The dawn of this period was known as the First Age of Magic. In the Second Age of Magic, a war broke out between Man and the Necroms and by the middle of the Second Age, Man was nearly wiped from creation. Those who survived fled Wellspring and journeyed across the sea into the unknown, finding new homes and creating fortified domains. In the Third and final Age of Magic, Man established five island kingdoms: Commery, Fletching, Morgog, Swelldom, and Hort.In the First Age of Metal, Man turned from the lost art of magic to the might of weapons as they discovered iron then steel. Large armies were created, and Man fought amongst themselves, forgetting the Necroms into myth. For generations the wars continued until an arranged marriage between the two strongest kingdoms of Commery and Morgog ceased the bloodshed, and so Man established the first Emperor and Empress and the tradition of Amalgamation. When both the Emperor and Empress of the Five Kingdoms died, the two strongest kingdoms' heirs married and crowned a new dynasty, and so began the Age of Amalgamation.During this age, a witch placed a curse on a girl named Pluck. The curse had been meant for a boy, Prince Edward of Fletching, for stealing the Mystic Rose. Pluck transformed into a Necrom with the Kiss, Edward's first kiss as her only redemption. The Kiss wouldn't be an easy task since showing her face meant her death.Beauty Of The Beast Series-0. Alba- Beauty of the Beast #01.
