I seem to spend a lot of time Googling so called “Famous” peoples names to find out who they are and why I should laugh at the meme of them on Facebook. When did I get so out of touch with who is and who isn’t famous? Turns out being famous isn’t quite what it used to be. Back in my day, if you were famous you were on The Muppet Show, The Donnie And Marie Osmond Show, or Entertainment Tonight. If you were famous, everyone knew who you were …cuz… you were famous. Now days there are a bunch of famous people very few people have heard of because there are too many different places to be famous. You got your YouTube Famous, then your Amazon, Netflix, and Hulu famous, and Vlogs and Blogs. Too many places that people can be famous from. I can’t keep up. My cousin in Italy is in a band. He posted a picture of him in concert. I looked at the picture and said “WOW! You’re famous!” He said nope, not really? What?? No?? But he looks like he is famous.

by Melanie Shawn
Genre: Romance
FREE for a limited time
Stand-alone Whisper Lake romance, complete with HEA — and plenty of heat and heart along the way!
There is a thin line between love and hate. For Allison Walsh, that line was a tightrope hanging a hundred feet in the air, with no safety net to catch her if–or when–she fell.
Ali was barely treading water after losing her big brother, who was her hero and best friend. His sudden death left her to raise her twin nephews when the man that was supposed to share the responsibility with her went MIA after the funeral.
Kade’s MMA training made him a champion, but it never equipped him to fight off the one force beyond his control: his feelings for his best friend’s little sister. He’s sure his demons mean he’s not good enough for her, but he’s going to do everything in his power to conquer them.
When the sexy, tattooed fighter shows up on Ali’s doorstep out of the blue with a bag hanging over his shoulder and a smile that would make a nun blush, he seems different. But after all he’s put her through, Ali’s not in a forgive-and-forget kinda mood.
Will Kade prove that he’s the man worthy of Ali’s heart and trust, or will his past sins determine their future?

The Visitor
by J.T. Gregory
Genre: Literature & Fiction | Horror
FREE for a limited time
The snow falls, thick and wet. Oppressing gusts of wind whip the roadside drifts into a fury, momentarily quelling their biblical attempt to reach the heavens. The sun, hidden bleakly behind thick clouds the color of old laundry, bows offstage to the sound of high-pitched screams that might be the wind, although… although…
A shadow slides through this winter sorrow. The snow falls thicker now. The wind screams sobbingly through the trees and the approaching darkness leaks in behind the shadow, dogging at its heels like pack of black dogs born at midnight. The shadow drifts through the storm, passing trees with branches that clack like old bones, lampposts wearing fuzzy yellow top hats, and brave houses that shiver with every wailing gust, shiver and tremble, but stand.
The shadow stops. To the left, a thicket of trees, their shoulders hunched grumpily against winter’s berating. To the right, a pair of velutinous picture frames hover, disappearing intermittently behind bustling wind gusts. The picture frames depict the slow, taffy-like quality of family, warm and sweet. They depict life, that which dangles from the tree of élan vital by a fraying thread, a precious bauble made of paper thin glass and layered quietly with newborn dust bunnies. They depict something the shadow has been looking for. They depict something he won’t leave without.
It was snowing when he came…
