This is a book about the true story of the greatest country in the world, the United States of America.

A Nation of Heroes.

As Liberals have completely taken over academia and the media want to poison everyone’s mind by telling of only the bad, (and there is bad, no sane person can deny that)…..but what completely insane Liberals can’t accept is that there has also been good.

A lot of good. Astounding good.

Incredible good…..a good our kids are no longer taught in school, as they are brainwashed to hate America, so the liberals can achieve their take over.

Well the brainwashing is over.

Inside is just an abbreviated story of the greatest nation in the history of the planet earth, The United States of America! A book everyone can read, and love, and proclaim with pride…that they are Americans!

‘A nation that does not honor its heroes will not long endure.’-Abraham Lincoln

Here’s the set-up:

This book takes its title from the 1980 comedy film “The Gods Must Be Crazy,” in which an empty Coca-Cola bottle is dropped from a plane onto a community of African bushmen. The bottle is thought to be a gift from the Gods, but after it incites bitter fighting amongst the villagers, the tribal leader decides to return it to the Gods, embarking upon a journey to the end of the world. Through my own metaphorical coke bottle, I visualize the dawn of a daunting new Empire.  This book serves as both a testament to the past glories of the current American Empire and a guidebook to restoring Capitalism and Enterprise – before it is too late.

Here’s the set-up:

It’s Valentine’s Day and Terry is about to get walloped by Cupid.

Terry is rich, attractive and all Dom.

When he sees something he likes, or more accurately, something his d**k likes, he gets it.

His women are hot, successful and experienced in BDSM.
Until, he meets Maggie on Valentine’s Day.

She’s not at all his usual type. She’s round, lush and a hot-mess of a woman.

It’s obvious she doesn’t belong at La Petite Mort Club and he can’t help following her. She needs someone to look out for her. She’s a little rabbit in a club full of predators.

When she gets herself into a situation, he has no choice but to rescue her.

When he realizes that she’s a natural submissive and innocent of the kinkier side of sex, he’ll stop at nothing to have. He can’t wait to show her how good it’ll feel when she surrenders to his desires.

Maggie had no idea that the club she was going to was a “sex” club.

Here’s the set-up:

New from bestselling author JR Ripley!

Anthony Mulish believes he’s the world’s greatest author. Unfortunately, the world and his long-suffering agent disagree. Out of frustration, he’s written a cozy mystery novel under a pen name. To everyone’s surprise (especially his agent’s) and his chagrin, it’s a bestseller.

Now Anthony is being toasted as the special guest of honor at a mystery conference. Anthony being Anthony, he rubs everyone the wrong way, especially the other authors – anyone of whom would probably love to see him dead. Then one of the attendees is brutally murdered. Anthony vows to find the killer. He’s already successfully solved a murder mystery in a bestselling novel so how hard can it be?

AUTHOR INTRO:
Death Gets Cozy is an affectionate spoof/satire/sendup? of mysteries in general and cozies in particular. I wrote a novel many years ago called SKULLS OF SEDONA of which Library Journal wrote: Readers who enjoyed Sharon McCrumb’s Bimbos of the Death Sun will also get a kick out of this.

The second thing happened at a recent Malice Domestic banquet whereat one of my tablemates brought up Sharon’s book. This got the old gears turning. I had not yet read the Bimbos book and made it a point to do so when I returned home.
I decided to write this story, the story of the most pompous, annoying, blowhard, takes-himself-too-seriously author that I could devise. Okay, maybe I just looked in the mirror and wrote what I saw…I’ll let you, the readers, decide. Remember, I am a cozy writer too. That fun I’m poking, I’m poking at myself.

A sense of humor, especially directed at oneself, I believe is essential. In fact, I also believe Amazon Essentials has them for sale at only $2.99/yard. So, if you haven’t decided to bolt (there’s a bad pun in here somewhere—dig around, you’ll find it), read on!

Here’s the set-up:

What happens in Fiji stays in Fiji … except when it doesn’t.
Nic Wilkinson is a responsible, organized, disciplined rugby player for the New Zealand All Blacks, and a man at the top of his game. Emma Martens is a sometimes-scattered, often-emotional, and always-broke would-be designer with a big chip on her shoulder where Nic’s concerned.They have no history together, except one perfect week. Nothing in common anymore, except the most important thing of all.

Getting together again would be messy. Complicated. Scary. And, just maybe, worth every risk.

Note: This STAND-ALONE romance, like New Zealand, contains a fair bit of steam. If that isn’t your cuppa, you may want to visit a different country … er, book.

Here’s the set-up:

In the 1960s, Edenville, North Carolina is full of rules. Sagging under the weight of racism and segregation the small community finds itself at a dangerous tipping point.

Eleven-year-old Betty Grafton believes the world is fair. She knows there are worse places to live than Edenville. Unaware of the wars waging around her, she spends her days patting horses in the field and running errands for her mother. The world she doesn’t see, full of turmoil and unrest, is hiding just below the surface. One day, she has no choice but to see what’s been right in front of her all along.

Alma knows where to walk. She knows who to talk to and which fountain she can drink out of. Her mother, Winnie, spares no opportunity to remind her how dangerous it is to be a little black girl in the South.

When a chance encounter puts Betty face to face with the peril that exists in her own hometown, everything she knows turns upside down. The world isn’t as fair or safe as she’d imagined. Her family is the Klan. Her friends are the enemy. And nothing makes sense anymore.

Although the world demands they stay apart, Alma and Betty forge a secret friendship. One that could cost them their lives.

Here’s the set-up:

I’m staking my claim on the hot southern goddess.

Women were always in abundance.
Zoey is the only woman who can make the other women disappear.
One problem. She’s not looking for a man.
Zoey is sassy, hot and has curves that never stop.
One touch of those soft lips and I knew I had to claim every inch of her.
I have one night. I’ll prove to her that I’m the only man who can satisfy her.
She’ll be clutching the sheets and seeing stars when I’m done with her.
I don’t care about her dark past.
I’m her future.
Whoever caused this mocha beauty sadness will witness my wrath.
