.
Here’s the set-up:
Antoinette Gauthier, her family, friends, members of the Resistance, and even their pets, find life difficult under the exacting SS rules. For Antoinette, it means being a servant for Major Hurst and his officers as they take up residence in her home. She succumbs to his advances to learn their secrets for the Resistance, only to have Hurst later discard her.
Then, finding herself pregnant, she is sent by Hurst to a Lebensborn home, where the residents believe she is a spy and treat her shabbily. At the SS Party House next door, she works in the kitchen and later discovers a wounded British pilot hiding in the woods behind the home.
The tension builds as Antoinette is commanded to join one of the Nazis’ wild parties. She agrees in the hope it can help her to rescue the pilot and, together, they can escape.
“It will keep you turning pages to find out what happens next. So will the citizens of a small French town foil an attempted SS takeover? Will its mayor protect his family? Will his daughter, Antoinette, the heroine, fall for the handsome but heartless Major Hurst? Your eyes will remain rived to the pages…
“You’ll eavesdrop as a ggle of girls dress up to portray Cleopatra and her handmaidens and discuss love and lovemaking. And if you’ve got penchant for sex scenes, well, you won’t be disappointed. There’s even sex at the beach!”
–Teri Elders, writer and editor
“The pages turn fast in this exciting book about the Nazi’s plan to provide war babies to Hitler. The author covers all the bases with sex scenes, love, and heartache set in a small French village. It’s a really enjoyable read!”
–Ryan

Helen Smith was the recipient of an Arts Council Award for The Miracle Inspector
. It’s worth it.”–Maria Elizabeth Perez
“The future world that Helen Smith paints is frightening in the fact that I could envision it being real instead of fiction. The women are not allowed to work but have to stay home. They have to cover up when they venture out of the confines of home. This reminds me of my time when I was living in Saudi Arabia and had to cloak when I ventured out of my Western compound but The Miracle Inspector

KND Kindle Free Book Alert: T.C. Southwell’s CHILDREN OF ANOTHER GOD leads a new selection of freebies! plus … James Scott Bell’s compulsively readable suspense in WATCH YOUR BACK (Today’s Sponsor)
“Compulsively readable, Bell takes his place at the top of the crowded suspense genre.”
Watch Your Back
by James Scott Bell
4.0 out of 5 stars 12 Reviews
? Get yours here.
Here’s the set-up:
From the master of the “heart-whamming” read (Publishers Weekly) comes a novella of suspense and three new stories. Full of the twists and shocks James Scott Bell is known for, these taut tales are guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your e-reader long into the night.
In the title novella, “Watch Your Back,” hotshot IT guy Cameron Cates seems to have it all. A secure job, a fiancée who loves him and the prospect of a steady life ahead. But then he sees her. The new woman at work. And like watching a car crash in slow motion, Cam knows he can’t turn away and is powerless to stop what happens next. A tale of lust and greed and corporate America––and what happens to dreams that become all too real.
“Fore Play” is the story of the world’s top golfer and the trouble that follows his off the course activities. Let’s put it this way: his game will never be the same.
In “Rage Road,” a nice young couple thinks they’re out for a smooth ride through some lovely country. The truck behind them has a different idea.
Married man Frank Dabney has learned to listen to his wife, Susie. But in “Heed the Wife” he finds out he may have listened one too many times.
–-In the Library Review
“James Scott Bell makes no secret of his love for the noir genre of fiction. In this, his first foray into e-books, he gives us some great examples of that genre. The writing is crisp, the characters well-drawn, and the stories move at a rapid clip. I look forward to more of these from this talented writer. If noir fiction is your dish, grab this one.”
–Richard Mabry, author of The Tender Scar
“The three short stories are quite effective on giving a twist to a predictable setup. In Foreplay, a rich married PGA golfer meets his match in a ravishing beauty. In Rage Road , the tables are turned on a man who commits an act of violence. In Heed the Wife, a man is forced by a controlling wife to commit a crime.”
–Bill Garrison, Top 1000 Reviewer
JAMES SCOTT BELL is a bestselling and award winning suspense writer. He was the fiction columnist for Writers Digest magazine and has written three popular books for the Writers Digest line: Plot & Structure

Here’s the set-up:
When Lizzie Mancini booked her honeymoon to the secluded Blue Bay Beach Resort on the small Caribbean island of Camus Caye she thought it would be relaxing to spend the week at an isolated couples-only retreat. But that was before she knew she’d be honeymooning sans groom. Touring alone, dining alone, and worst of all, having to explain to the resort’s thirty other guests why she was staying in the bridal suite alone—Lizzie was dreading it. But it still beat the alternative, eight more days hibernating in her empty apartment feeling sorry for herself.
Then Lizzie meets Michael, a gold-chained antiquities dealer who offers to play her husband for the week no strings (or sex) attached. The plan works perfectly until Lizzie spends the night with scuba instructor Jack, and Michael’s body washes up on Blue Bay’s pristine shore. Lizzie becomes Polizia Nationale’s number one suspect and the only way she can prove her innocence is to solve Michael’s murder herself.

” The story grabbed me from the first page with its very likeable characters, the situations they find themselves in, and not knowing who the bad guy is because there are just so many to choose from. And it seems that no one is quite what you think they are.”
–C. Thilmany, Vine Voice
“This book is a fun action packed read filled with romance, murder, mystery, thieves, and a turtle named Fred. With many intriguing questions to be answered that keep you reading to figure it all out. With a great sense of humor to tie it all together into a fun filled book”

KND Kindle Free Book Alert, Thursday, May 19: Bestselling mystery writer Tess Gerritsen and a brand new Kindle word game top 550+ Freebies! plus … Bite-sized bliss with William S. Shepard’s Coffee Break Mysteries for just $2.99 (Today’s Sponsor)
Like a great mystery read — even when you’ve only got 10 or 15 minutes? Then you’ll love the 20 bite-sized stories in Bill Shepard’s Coffee Break Mysteries
!
? Get yours here.
Here’s the set-up:
is a collection of twenty short mysteries, from shoplifting to murder. The author, William S. Shepard, is a skilled mystery writer, with four novels in the Robbie Cutler diplomatic mystery series.Each mystery is set forth for the reader to solve, with clues and several suspects. The reader solves the mystery, then turns to the next page for the solution. It’s just the right pace for something new and different as you enjoy your coffee break!
There is history here, with an unexpected dilemma for General George Washington, a nightmare about the Salem Witchcraft hysteria, and a mystery from the time of the First Thanksgiving at Plymouth. The White House Ghosts even drop by to make things interesting for the current 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue residents! And could President Ronald Reagan really solve the Geneva Summit Goldfish Mystery?
The holidays are well represented. We have a Christmas Eve visit from some beloved Dickens characters, and a spooky early morning manifestation at the grave of Edgar Allen Poe.
But the reader will surely have other favorites, perhaps from the selection of Ask Martha mysteries. But don’t tell Ask Martha’s secret – this advice for the lovelorn columnist is really a 6 foot 5 inch former football player named “Crusher” Davis, making ends meet by writing under a pseudonym for the local newspaper!
Whatever your preference, get your coffee and open your Kindle for a refreshing coffee break, with a spice of mystery. You’ve earned it!
. I love that this is available as an eBook. Also since I’m always on the go I was able to read one of the stories during a short period of time and then move on to other activities. The problem is that you dont want to just read one of the short mysteries, you want to read more and more of them. My only disappointment in this book of wonderful tales is when I had read them all. I’m hoping Bill Shepard will write more of them. What a value for the money! I wish all my eBook sales were as economical and enjoyable as Coffee Break mysteries.”–Valerie T. Cortalano
I have enjoyed writing about wine, and diplomacy. But one night, when I was on duty in the Executive Secretariat of the State Department,I wondered why there had been no diplomatic sleuths. Career diplomats see so many sources of information, that the connection of diplomacy and crime solving seemed natural. And so, on retiring after service at five diplomatic missions abroad, and a number of Washington assignments, I created a new mystery genre, the “diplomatic mystery.”
There are now four novels in the series, with Robbie Cutler, a career diplomat, as the protagonist. In “Vintage Murder

Here’s the set-up:
He has spent centuries trying to teach generosity and compassion. Despite his considerable power, he has never tampered with history or politics: he has always trusted humanity to learn from its mistakes.
But the horrors of World War II test his faith. He begins to wonder if the world needs more from his magic than toys and dreams. He sets out to find others like him, legends and myths that have withstood the ages, to ask their help building a world where the innocent will be safe.
He finds allies in Peter, a strange creature who is neither rabbit nor man, and the Tooth Fairy, the last of her kind. But there are older legends in the world, and not all share Nicholas’s sympathy for humanity….
“For Love of Children
–T. L. Maroon
“What a bizarre gem. Taking place sometime after World War II, the world’s beloved fairy tale characters are losing faith in humanity, and who can blame them? The war to end all wars (again) has left nations in crisis, while surviving powers jockey for position. America settles into its atomic throne driving a disenfranchised Saint Nicholas to find the perfect present for the eastern block…
“I don’t want to say too much, but if you enjoy the writing of Neil Gaiman, Margaret Weis, Peter David, or Neil Stephenson, then you will really dig this book. I did.”
