Backpacked: A Reluctant Trip Across Central America
by Catherine Ryan Howard
Catherine Ryan Howard prefers bath robes to bed bugs, lattes to lizards and mini-bars to malaria. So why is she going backpacking?
Catherine isn’t the backpacking type. Working for one of the world’s biggest hotel chains, she and her employee discount have become accustomed to complimentary bath robes, 24-hour room service and Egyptian cotton sheets. As for holidays, Catherine likes places that encourage lying – lying on the beach, by the pool, in bed…
She’s been on what feels like one long holiday in Florida when her fearless best friend, Sheelagh, announces plans to backpack across Central America. With Catherine’s US visa about to expire, her having no desire to return home to Ireland just yet and her common sense, evidently, on a day off, she agrees to go along.After all, how bad can this backpacking thing be?
Um… very bad, actually. Catherine soon finds herself showering with the threat of electrocution, living with mutant cockroaches, sleeping on wooden planks, suffering from all but one of the side-effects listed on her bottle of anti-malarial tablets (liver failure, in case you were wondering) and riding a horse up the side of a smoking, lava-filled volcano.
And that’s just the first week.

Radar Love (Ultimate Hustle)
by Jason Z. Christie
When part-time construction worker and full-time hustler Chris Turner meets the girl of his dreams in a Dairy Queen drive-through, he induces her to climb out of the window and run away with him. She is Janique, and she’s everything he’s ever wanted. So begins a love affair that defies reason. Submission, piercings, and mock kidnappings are just foreplay for what’s to come.
The two hard-loving antiheroes are so in love, they’d rather rob stores and banks than spend their days apart. It’s all fun and games until they end up in connected prisons. Then it’s up to Chris to get them out again, using only brutality, heroin, and a book by Tom Robbins…
An epic love story, first in the Ultimate Hustle series. Definitely contains explicit language and situations. The sequel, Penultimate Hustle: Japan is out now…

It’s April 2033. Drought and water wars ravage Africa, and heat-waves kill tens of thousands in Europe. Famine sweeps across Asia after the monsoon fails, and the United States struggles with massive social upheaval following decades of economic malaise.
Ayden Walker is a young field researcher. It’s his job to limit the damage to the environment from climate change, greed or plain incompetence. He’s also part of the virtual BioWatch community where he works to hold those responsible to account. As such, he has little patience for people who rush to commercialise genetically modified organisms before the risks are properly understood.
So he is appalled when he meets William Hanford and learns that, decades ago, their parents were involved in illegal genetic experimentation.
But what he learns next shakes the very foundations of his existence.
He isn’t given time to deal with it though. Ayden stumbles across something that could change the course of humanity if he doesn’t stop it… but he’s not so sure he should. People are consuming without thought, placing unbearable loads on the planet’s resources and playing havoc with the world’s climate. Perhaps truly radical action could be justified.

A criminal defense attorney is retained to represent a man accused of accessory to murder–a cold-blooded shooting. The client’s family has risked everything to come up with the money for a retainer. The evidence seems damning. Nonetheless, the lawyer becomes convinced that his client is not guilty and sets out to prove his innocence at trial. The prosecutor, an ambitious and beautiful young woman in the Office of the District Attorney, presents the lead detective as her key witness. The lawyer puts his client on the stand to testify. The courtroom is charged with action and suspense. Is there justice? The ending of the story compels a shocking answer.
A novella by Ralph Shamas, the author of The Homicide Chronicle: Defending the Citizen Accused. Kirkus Reviews has said that the author’s “…prosaic approach…is deeply engrossing” and “…a welcome change in the genre of legal fiction.” Javier’s Defense displays the author’s intriguing style in a fascinating courtroom drama.
