The stage is set for hilarity and world-view clash as Fila enderby, a
lovely but profit-obsessed, real estate entrepreneur contracts with Rolf
Nordquist, a committment-phobic Tibetan Buddhist folksinger determined
to save the environment, to father a child to meet the requirements of
her father's will. Both wind up pursuing their obsessions but do not
expect the complication of falling in love with each other. Capitalist -
Environmental world-view clash and relationship complications are
counselled with the help of Lama Tsot, a young, newly-arrived Tibetan
Buddhist Lama from Tibet who guides them through their tumultuous
relationship with relationship advice from Buddhism. Not without quite a
few laughs on the way, though.

FREE -- Vision Machine--A Short Story of Biblical Proportions [Kindle Edition]
Rachel Kinder is a lawyer. She is trained to be skeptical. She values
cold, hard evidence over speculation and shaded nuance. During her
latest routine trial of an alleged Nazi war criminal, the most
extraordinary turn of events in all of legal history falls into her
lap--Vision Machine. Suddenly Rachel has the tool to produce the hard
evidence she needs to win her case. The question is will her shaky faith
and doubting lawyer’s training reject the gift given her?
At the
same time the entire world is watching Rachel Kinder and her trial.
Will Mankind exhibit the same dogged resistance to accepting actual,
indisputable historical truth? Will we reject Vision Machine’s capacity
to unveil historical events as they actually happened without prejudiced
taint, ulterior motives or erroneous accounts?
The trial of the
century--or any other century, for that matter--serves as the backdrop
for the story of Vision Machine. The story introduces a technology, the
likes of which mankind has been waiting for forever. Literally. In the
process the story raises questions each of us has thought about but can
yet only guess at the answers.
Vision Machine is an
extraordinarily engaging story. Well crafted and character driven, it
provides multiple layers on which to view its message. Chris Malburg hit
it out of the park with this one.

FREE -- Car Wars [Kindle Edition]
With its $19 trillion GDP, China is now the world's largest
economy. For a small group of brilliant but brutal Beijing econocrats,
that is insufficient. Their objective: Total domination of worldwide
industrial commerce. The most heartless of the bunch, Yonggan Zhanshi,
is operational point man. As Chairman of QX, China's state-owned car
manufacturer, he is precisely positioned to launch the conspiracy's
first strike. Yonggan Zhanshi just got the green light.
On the
other side of the world, in Elkhart, Indiana, Jack Schilling works as an
accountant at Tianming Automotive's light truck assembly plant. His
cash account refuses to balance. It is the first sign that something is
deadly wrong. Tianming cars suddenly begin crashing for no apparent
reason. The death toll mounts. Jack Schilling is a numbers guy.
He believes hard evidence. But he never anticipated this would thrust
him back into the fight on global terror. Time to go tactical.
Here
is a story of competitive malice like none ever told before. Car Wars
rockets from Indiana's frozen landscapes in the winter to Beijing's
corridors of power and to the high tech wizardry of the White House
Situation Room. In Jack Schilling, Chris Malburg brings to life the
smart, battle-hardened but reluctant warrior you want at your side when
the shooting starts. He perfectly crafts Tianming Automotive as a
transparent but ungainly company that is ill-suited for corporate combat
on a global scale. Malburg's Yonggan Zhanshi is your worst
nightmare--ruthless and controlling the most devastating weapon of mass
destruction so far unleashed.
Car Wars shows what happens when
one country with the means sets its sights on the total economic
annihilation of another. Above all, Car Wars is an extraordinarily
gripping tale with an intensely satisfying end. But there is much more
beneath the surface. It offers an insightful look into how each of
us--when facing unspeakable evil--can rise above ourselves to become
something more than we ever imagined. Gentlemen, start your engines and
may God have mercy upon your souls.

FREE -- Campaign Promises [Kindle Edition]
Comedy writer and award-winning novelist Laurel Osterkamp has written a
funny and moving novella about life, love, and politics as seen through
the unique lens of Lucy Jones, a quintessential girl-next-door who is
obsessed with political campaigns. Liberal, idealistic, and struggling

sweetheart Jack, Monty, Jack's magnetic older brother, and her
politician boyfriend, Drew. Can any of these men offer Lucy a campaign
promise to believe in?

print-book pages) spans twenty years and offers five slice-of-life
vignettes in the life of Lucy Jones:

--The Funeral and Paul Wellstone

FREE -- 17 Days [Kindle Edition]
Kimmy - She hid in the dark, like a frightened child. But when she’d
been a child, she had never had anything to hide from, never had
anything to fear. She had been safe.
When she heard his footsteps
on the stairs, she lowered herself to the floor and crawled under the
bed. He found her, of course, and dragged her out by her ankles. When
she tried to hold onto the bedpost, he kicked her wrist until she had to
let go.
Matthew - He pulled a big suitcase down from a closet
shelf and threw her clothes into it, as much as would fit. Then he
dragged it and her to the front door. He threw the suitcase onto the
porch and pushed her out after it. He closed his ears to her pleas,
locked the door and when she called out from the other side, he answered
coldly “Go somewhere they care”.
!7 Days is a road movie but
the road is a river and each day of the journey brings a new encounter:
with Bikers and Deadheads, an Elvis impersonator and a wild pig, a man
who fell in love with his own wife, and Paco and his Coyotes, among
others. All have their own small stories filled with love and laughter,
tears, and adventure, stories that carry the reader along as surely as
the river's current and the winds that echo off the canyon walls.
Kimmy
and Matthew are people profoundly damaged by their pasts, coming to
know and to love each other as they share a canoe and try to live a
lifetime in just a few days. The two become three when they rescue the
little dog Tachi, an act that leads to a confrontation with a trio of
deadly Asians.
The half Maori Kimmy, a free spirit whose mother
taught her that she is a warrior and the Lakota Matthew who learns from
her to let go of his pain and live again could never have known how far
the river would take them in 17 Days.

FREE -- Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side
A romance involving a high school girl and a handsome vampire may sound a
little too familiar, yet this first novel quickly bursts ahead of the
pack of Twilight-wannabes. Down-to-earth mathlete Jessica
Packwood is completely horrified when, a few months shy of her 18th
birthday, a Romanian named Lucius Vladescu shows up on her doorstep,
claiming that he and she are vampire royalty betrothed to each other
since infancy—what's worse, her adoptive parents verify the betrothal
story and explain that her birth parents identified themselves as
vampires, too. Fantaskey makes this premise work by playing up its
absurdities without laughing at them, endowing Jessica with a coolly
ironic sensibility and Lucius with old-world snobberies that Jessica's
girlfriends find irresistible. Jessica's laidback parents serve as foils
for imperious Lucius (Can I ever again be happy in our soaring Gothic
castle after walking the halls of Woodrow Wilson High School, a literal
ode to linoleum? he asks sarcastically); a scene at a steakhouse where
the vegan Packwoods meet the carnivorous Vladescus is first-rate comedy.
The romance sizzles, the plot develops ingeniously and suspensefully,
and the satire sings. Ages 14–up.
FREE -- Practice Cake [Kindle Edition]
There's one thing Maddie finds more tempting than red velvet cake: her
coworker, Drew. All it takes is one of his sly winks or a playful
hip-check by the cooler, and she's incinerating the cookies. Her
boyfriend would not approve.
When a reality TV crew descends upon
the bakery, her simple summer job gets even more complicated. Maddie
could become the Bakery Network's next breakout star, if she can handle
the heat of being cast as a show villain. Drew has an alternate idea:
run away from everything, with him and his sexy tousled hair. She
decides to take the leap, but when she finds out Drew's been hiding a
shocking secret, Maddie looks down at her packed suitcase and takes a
moment to think. She could fly off to Australia with a guy she hardly
knows, or she could pick up her suitcase and hit him with it.
Is there anyone Maddie can turn to for advice? Her sister has terrible taste in boyfriends, so she's out. Roxanne, the charismatic reality TV show producer, has some interesting opinions, but may be more interested in ratings. Maddie's best friend keeps pushing her cousin Hudson, a guy who thinks he's too cool for entry-level jobs, but makes origami. Come on. Origami?
Chock full of imperfect people behaving badly, Practice Cake is light-hearted and brimming with humor.
