This is an Australian adventure/comedy story for all ages which while fiction in content is based almost 100% on facts happening on-going in the area. The story centers around two leading characters: Rusty, a 40-year-old opal miner, and Kate, a 60-year-old, tough-as-nails woman who raises sheep and cattle when she is not mining opal. This story, I believe, captures a sense of intrigue and calamity that continues to happen between opal miners, "ratters (people who steal from legitimate opal miners), and animals of the Outback area of Lightning Ridge, Australia.

Australia is unique in that it is the home of 95% of the world's known black opal reserves, all buried beneath the dry Outback soil in a small area of New South Wales known as Lightning Ridge. This is an area where many crooks, cutthroats, and thieves come to hide away from civilization. Everyone is highly suspicious of his neighbor and of what he is doing. The paranoia of these people as they go about their daily lives, when it comes to mining and selling black opal, cannot be exaggerated.

The sins of the fathers are handed down. Yuki had heard the old saying but its full meaning only became clear when she left Japan and went to Australia in search of her sister who had entered a strange hippy commune. Yuki thought her sister was being exploited for sex. The truth was even more frightening. But, it was not all bad news. Yuki found friends in unexpected places and they helped her rescue her sister from the frightening world she had entered. To do so, they had to unravel the strange circumstances of Yuki's birth. In the process, her life was changed for forever. Genre: mystery thriller. Free for a limited time.

How an ordinary guy walked into a bar and walked out a few hours later with a beautiful woman. All it takes is a little knowledge and a few skills and you could do the same. Read this short book for more information.

What did I do?

I walked into a bar on a typical Friday night. All the regular crowd was there along with some students from the local university.

I walked over to the bar to order a beer and looking in the mirror behind the bar, observed a beautiful woman walk in the front door and pass behind me.

Of course I had to get to know her better.

Better yet, of course, would be to get her back to my place.

Waiting a few minutes, I walked over to her table - and ignored her. I talked to some "good ole boys" who were at the table and that I hadn't seen in Sooo long. lol

Since they were actively hitting on this woman and her friends, they were none too pleased that I showed up to interrupt their party.

After a few minutes of socializing with my "friends" I walked back to the bar and ordered another drink.

I then did the whole thing over again, paying a little more attention to the women at the tbale.

But what did I do?

How did I get this beautiful woman home?

Do you know what the "3-second" rule is? And why did I intentionally violate that rule on this particular night?

Why did I ignore her at first?

How long was it before I finally made my move?

It was the best of hotels, the Hotel Marcel, a pocketsize essense of France. It was the worst of hotels, the Hotel Majestic, a behemoth of anonymous overkill.

The beginning of a six-part fantasy epic! Three kingdoms at war, each kingdom written by a different author, with different characters, styles, and inspirations. Book 1, The Chosen, shows the early stages of this story. Characters from the militaristic human kingdom of Caldera discover a strange mystery that leads them into battlefields far to the north, in search of survivors from a fabled lance company that went missing. Explorers from Andua, the home of magic-wielding humans, elves, nuathreen and firbolgs, search undiscovered caves deep below the forest, some scavenging for treasure, while others help a young woman find her lost love. Hardy warriors from Bergmark, a northern kingdom ruled by dwarves and their havtrol allies, have attacked the northern regions of both Andua and Caldera, and now a small band of them hunt renegade havtrols who are rampaging through the defenseless villages of their new subjects. The three groups start on separate paths, but their quests will converge in ways they didn't think possible, leading them to discover a fourth realm, long forgotten, but no longer dormant.

Sandra Nox is a young space traveller, who defies the interstellar Palladian tyranny and ventures to various fantastical places all over the known universe, experiencing the most incredible adventures.

In the first story (Theft of a Myth) Sandra Nox manages to become a star gladiator on planet Phaon, but this is not why she arrived there on the first place: in fact, she is pursuing a much more challenging goal.

In the second story (Distant Planet) the heroine visits an isolated, frozen planet, in search of an ancient jewel which enhances mental powers. However, this is not the only thing she finds there.

In the third story (Descent to the Nether Zone) the dreamer witch goes all the way down to the Nether Zone, in order to help her beloved Arion save his world from extinction.

In the fourth story (A Ship Called Destiny) Sandra goes aboard and investigates an odd ancient ship, where unholy secrets are lurking.

In the fifth story (Beyond Heaven) Sandra travels beyond the limits of the known universe.

Throughout occupied Europe common people gathered around their kitchen tables and plotted treason. It was a crime to save a life. For three little Jewish girls living in a Berlin orphanage the night they called "Broken Glass" began a terrifying ordeal - the beginning of the Holocaust.

As Angels Weep is based on the true story of the Kindertransport - the grass roots efforts of people all over occupied Europe to save the lives of its children. They were not just the rich and powerful, like Oscar Schindler. Sometimes they were small and powerless, but slipped through the cracks of the Nazi juggernaut to earn through pain and blood the final victory against tyranny.

The stories are based on compilations of true events even while the stories and the characters themselves are fiction. The French village of Le Chambon is very real. It was here where thousands of Jews simply disappeared like rain falling on the fields and woods, never to be discovered by the Gestapo. The loading dock at Rödermark and the home of German industrialist Herr Koenig in Amsterdam represent but a few of the places where people raised their fists against the bloodiest empire in human history, and won.
