A SINGLE MOTHER, A SECRET LIFE… After her divorce, Monique decides to inject some fun into the drudgery of life as a single mother, by dating a wealthy older gentleman, which is known as ‘sugar daddy’ dating. It all starts quite innocently, but when Monique finds a thousand pounds in her wallet after one night of hot, steamy sex, she realises that sugar dating could be her way to survive as a single mother.

Through festering jungle and across burning plains to high mountains and lazy rivers, the Burma campaign of the Second World War involved the longest retreat in British history, and the longest advance; long-range penetration miles behind enemy lines, vicious hand-to-hand fighting, and the horrors of forced labour The Figureheads of the campaign were singular characters like Slim, Mountbatten, Stilwell and Wingate; while its ranks were dominated by ordinary soldiers gathered ‘like a whirlpool from the ends of the earth’ - from Britain, America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, West, East and South Africa, but overwhelmingly from India. Jon Latimer draws these disparate strands together in a gripping narrative that encompasses everything from the widest political developments to detailed tactical operations. His focus is the experiences of thousands of ordinary people whose lives were transformed by this south-east Asian maelstrom, many of whom feel that they were forgotten. Burma ensu

RELEASE NOV 15th 2018 As the combined forces of MI5 and the SAS confront ruthless Islamic fanatics bringing jihad to the UK, two former enemies are reluctantly paired together to combat the threat. Two deadly but very different terror attacks bring carnage to London on the same day: a suicide bombing in the heart of Soho, and the shooting down of a military aircraft taking part in a ceremonial fly-past. Simultaneously, a previously-unknown Islamic radical calling himself Saladin declares a caliphate in the UK and decrees that all British Muslims should rise up against the infidel state.  The initial terror attacks are followed by sickening atrocities at Jewish schools, and in response to Saladin’s message, disaffected Muslim youths heed the call to arms, establishing Sharia patrols that bring terror to the streets. Others undertake lone-wolf marauding terror attacks. The resultant backlash plays into the hands of a charismatic right-wing politician and threatens to ignite a race wa

This hop is presented by Ramblings of a  Coffee Addicted Writer If you were to dress up as a literary figure {author or character} for Halloween, who would it be? Oooh this gave me so many ideas for a costume party this year! I've been going through a horror movie/book phase. This might be bending the prompt a bit, but I think Jason Voorhees would be an awesome costume! You should check out the novel and comic illustrations of Jason as they're pretty awesome and give a lot of artistic ideas to work with for costumes. 

As a reviewer who has been on the book blog scene for a while, I always try to background the businesses I promote. After all, this is a site geared towards the indie writer and publisher, and finding cost effective ways to get books noticed is the name of the game. Determining the reputability of a book blog tour company is not black and white. A lot of it comes down to expectations vs. reality. There are questions consumers of these companies should ask before signing up: Does this company do the kind of promoting that I want? What is their reach? Is this reasonable?  How long is the tour and how does that time relate to the number of site "stops"  What is the average cost per site stop? This is obviously not an all inclusive list -- but it is some of the more important questions that can be missed in the selection process.  Does this company do the kind of promoting that I want?   First, make sure your genre of book is covered by that tour company. It

Welcome to the wonderfully weird World War Two... The Second World War was the bloodiest on record. It was the first total war in history when civilians - men, women and children - were on the front line as never before. With so many millions involved, the rumour machine went into overdrive, tall stories built on fear of the unknown. With so much at stake, boffins battled with each other to build ever more bizarre weapons to outgun the enemy. Nazi Germany alone had so many government-orchestrated foibles that they would be funny if they were not so tragic. Parachuting sheep? Pilot pigeons? Rifles that fire round corners? Men who never were? You will find them all in these pages, the weird, wonderful and barely believable tales from World War Two. Purchase on Amazon About the Author Richard is the co-author of the popular 'Britannia' series with M. J. Trow. These books follow a group of soldiers and their descendants through the madness of a chain of events whic

Felix, a tragic orphan, is expelled from school, cast out onto the British high street, and forced to make his way in the cutthroat world of wine retail. Thanks to a positive mental attitude, he is soon forging a promising career, his sensual adventures taking him to the vineyards of Italy, South Africa, Bulgaria, and Kent. His path to the summit, however, is littered with obstacles. Petty office politics, psychotic managers, and the British Board of Wine & Liquor prove challenging enough. But when Felix negotiates the world's biggest Asti Spumante deal, he is plunged into a vicious world of Mafiosi, people smuggling, and ruthless multinationals. Part thriller, part self-help manual, and part drinking companion,  Corkscrew  is a coruscating critique of neoliberal capitalism, religious intolerance, and the perils of blind tasting.
