It's a fetish of pure dementia.A short tale of one young man's struggle to cope with his mother's most unholy and insane fascinations.Jenny was so excited that Mike asked her to be his girlfriend. She was a cheerleader and Mike was the star quarterback at their high school. They were so in love, and ready to get more serious, and one day get married, and start a family of their own, but that dream would never come to light because of what was about to unfold that night.Mike picked Jenny up around seven that night, and they headed out in the night with the anticipation of sharing their first kiss together.As their car was traveling down the country road, and their hearts beating out of their chests, it began to thunder, and lightning. Jenny said, "I sure hope it doesn't start raining and spoil our special moment together.""I don't think it's going to do anything," replied Mike."I hope you're right," exclaimed Jenny.The two love birds hands touched and their eyes met, and just made their hearts beat even faster.,Jenny chimed in and said, "Can we just skip the movie, and find a secluded place to park, and make out?""You must have read my mind," said Mike excitedly.After about fifteen minutes Mike finally came upon a place that looked secluded enough to be alone with his girlfriend and not be bothered. Mike and Jenny's hands tightened as they drove into the secluded area for a night of what was supposed to be a night of passion, but instead a night of terror.Mike parked the car, and unfastened their seatbelts, and embraced, then kissed.After about ten minutes of nonstop kissing Mike said, "Why don't we celebrate our first date together with some beer?"Jenny replied," That sounds good to me."Mike opened his car door, and opened his trunk, and pulled out a six-pack of beer then got back in his car, and passed Jenny a beer. They popped the tops of the beer cans and gulped down beer after beer until the six-pack was gone. They started kissing in a drunken state. After another ten or fifteen minutes Mike unlocked his lips from hers and said, "Jenny, I need to go pee."Jenny replied," Please hurry back!"Mike said, "Don't worry, I'll hurry." Mike got out of his car and headed a little deeper in the woods to pee.As Mike was finishing up he heard a noise and said, "Who's out there?"Then all of a sudden as the thunder and lightning got more intense a man appeared, and said, "Son, you are on private property, and I don't appreciate you relieving yourself on my property."Mike started becoming sober and said, "I'm sorry sir I'll leave immediately and never come back."The man answered back in a mean voice, and said "its’ a little too late for sorry’."

Going La La is a contemporary romance that benefits from its Los Angeles locale, setting it apart from other recently published London-based "chick-lit" and "city-lit" titles. Frankie is 29, happy in her job and thinks she might be about to get married. However, within the space of a week she loses both her job and her potential fiancé and is on a plane, running away to her best friend Rita, who is trying to make it as an actress in LA. Alexandra Potter revels in seeing LA and the Californian lifestyle through Frankie's naïve eyes, detailing the excesses and the absurdities of this image-conscious, sun-blessed, car-driven culture. Through Rita's somewhat nefarious contacts, she and Frankie experience an LA of parties and glamour that many a British visitor to LA could only dream of. However, Potter hams these up to such an extent that they appear as film scenes in their own right, with farcical swimming pool set pieces, obligatory scantily clad women and a whiff of Class A drugs.
Potter has written a classic romance that manages to twist and turn to leave the reader guessing at Frankie's happiness until the very end and has created in her hero and heroine two believable and yet off-kilter characters. Reilly, the love interest, appears as both the uncouth, cowboy-hat-wearing American of stereotype and yet also as the charming gentleman who has experienced pain and needs some love. Frankie, though she has a worrying tendency to relate all her LA experiences to the last two years of her life, (house parties are only comparable to those she went to with her ex-boyfriend, the smarmy Hugh, which feels unrealistic for a 29-year-old, but is perhaps symptomatic of her misguided devotion to her ex), is a sympathetic character and yet beautiful and flighty enough to be the star of her own story.
Going La La offers a dream away from everyday life, where men are Cary-Grant-cum-Marlboro man lookalikes and women are allowed to be swept off their kitten-heeled feet (while also becoming leather-trouser-wearing independent sex-bombs). Frankie rejects drab and oh-so-British-London and her equally drab and oh-so-British boyfriend, embracing sunny Los Angeles and Reilly with his "long, lazy smile"--something we'd all like to do, at least for one day, as we read this and smile on a cold, rainy Sunday morning. --Olivia Dickinson Views: 675
The war on privacy hits home in book 7 of the bestselling Brent Marks Legal Thriller and Courtroom Drama Series from the author critics hail as: "One of the strongest thriller writers on the scene."
Lawyer Brent Marks takes a Freedom of Information Act case for a journalist accused of espionage, and finds himself the target of an abusive federal investigation that strains his relationship with his fiance, who happens to also be an FBI Agent. Can Brent come out on the other side of the case with his own liberty intact? Where privacy and government collide, Brent must find a way to win the case, and, at the same time, save himself.
Critical Praise
Eade is not only a brilliant writer; he also calls attention to the atrocities that surround us, hiding in our own closets. Said once and said again, Kenneth Eade is one of our strongest thriller writers on the scene and the fact that he draws his stories from the contemporary philosophical landscape is very much to his credit. Highly Recommended." Grady Harp, Amazon Hall of Fame, Top 100 and Vine Voice
