Man…F@#K! shares the honest and often unspoken reality of
entrepreneurship while serving up a large dose of much-needed hope and
inspiration to all business owners and entrepreneurs trying to take their
companies to the next level. Unlike most other books on business, this book
clearly defines the difficulties of life and the challenges of managing and
building a brand from virtually nothing into a potential global company. It
also accurately illustrates the struggles of working with a family business
and the expectations of starting in a small market and what it takes to
overcome those challenges and achieve personal and professional goals on a
larger scale.

It’s a fun, yet realistic story of what it takes to keep your head up in
times of trial – when all you can think is Man…F@#K! out of frustration –
in order to ultimately make your dreams a reality.

Excerpt 

Title “A love for business early on”

 

“I was so excited after our first year in business that for the next
school year, I was allowed to pick out my own attire from the JC Penny’s
catalog. I knew instantly that there would be no more jeans and T-shirts for
me; I chose the slacks and polo shirts, with matching belt to be sure. I was
going to be a business professional and certainly needed to look the part.
The only thing missing was a briefcase. I asked my parents if I could buy
one, but like most startup companies, money was tight, and the answer was
no. Even at a young age, however, it was evident that I thought outside the
box, and I noticed a backgammon game that nobody played with anymore. I
simple emptied the contents, and although it was a little small, I filled it
with a calculator, pens, paper and some business cards and… voila, a
briefcase! I know you’re probably thinking ‘What a nerd’; but I like to
think I was a pretty cool nerd!”

Random circumstances brought them together. Love made them family.

With Jo O’Malley’s busy career as a lawyer in Chicago, she
rarely gets home to Idaho, but this year is different. Her little sister is
getting married on Christmas Eve and she has two whole weeks to spend in the
snow-covered mountains, with the three foster sisters she loves and Maddie,
the woman who made them a family fifteen years ago.

Things get off to a rough start when the wedding is canceled, but Maddie
asks them to enjoy their holidays together at the festive lodge as planned,
in order to console their sister. It’s straight forward enough until
Jo, through a chance encounter with a gorgeous golden retriever, runs into
Luke, a boy she knew from her early childhood when she spent all her time at
the local library.

Jo’s not sure how to handle the unexpected attraction and her new
feelings for Luke, who is all grown up now, handsome, and as kind as ever.
He’s set on staying close to his family in Granite Ridge and she has a
plane ticket back to her life in Chicago after the new year. Are the sparks
between them merely due to the nostalgia of the season, or will Luke open
Jo’s heart to the prospect of passion for something beyond her
career?

If you’re a fan of small towns, heartwarming holiday stories, and
second chances, along with a few furry friends, you’ll fall in love
with Jo and her soul sisters in CHRISTMAS WISHES, Book 3 of Soul Sisters at
Cedar Mountain Lodge, from USA Today bestselling author, Tammy L.
Grace.

About the Author

 Judith Keim enjoyed her childhood and young-adult years in Elmira, New
York, and now makes her home in Boise, Idaho, with her husband and their two
dachshunds, Winston and Wally, and other members of her family.

While growing up, she was drawn to the idea of writing stories from a young
age. Books were always present, being read, ready to go back to the library,
or about to be discovered. All in her family shared information from the
books in general conversation, giving them a wealth of knowledge and vivid
imaginations.

A hybrid author who both has a publisher and self-publishes, Ms. Keim
writes heart-warming novels about women who face unexpected challenges, meet
them with strength, and find love and happiness along the way. Her
best-selling books are based, in part, on many of the places she’s lived or
visited and on the interesting people she’s met, creating believable
characters and realistic settings her many loyal readers love. Ms. Keim
loves to hear from her readers and appreciates their enthusiasm for her
stories.

Date Published: October 1, 2020

 

photo add-to-goodreads-button_zpsc7b3c634.png

When time travelers fail test after test to significantly alter the past,
most financial backers abandon the Global Research Consortium leaving
veteran traveler Marta Hamilton to administer a vastly scaled-down project.
She must protect the past from a greedy future, fend off political meddling,
and foil a murder plot originating in a parallel universe. She presides over
a conspiracy to hide the truth of her best friend’s death while coping
with a confusing and discomforting romantic entanglement involving fellow
traveler Marshall Grissom.

Marta, who has by professional necessity always distanced herself from
emotional commitment, lapsed by allowing herself the luxury of friendship
with Sheila Schuler and a night of wild sex with Marshall. Now, Sheila is
probably dead, and—according to a genius physicists’
theory—Marshall soon will be. As she assumes her role as administrator
of the time travel program, Marta must choose between the risks of loving
someone, or the lonely safety of emotional solitude.

 

(No cats were harmed in the telling of this story.)

A Satirical Romp through the Wall Street and Silicon Valley Swamps

Satire, Literary Fiction

Published: April 2020

 

photo add-to-goodreads-button_zpsc7b3c634.png

 

Would you sell your soul to a sociopathic hedge fund titan for tens of
millions in dirty cash? What about your sexy wife? What if it meant cozying
up to a neurotic and lecherous tech entrepreneur while risking your freedom,
and maybe even your life?

Snatch 2&20 is a satirical memoir parodying the author’s past
life as a hedge fund manager. It should not only be of interest to the fans
of the hit TV shows Billions and Silicon Valley, and books like The Wolf of
Wall Street and Liar’s Poker, but to anyone who wants an
insider’s take on the rotten core of our delusional plutocracy in this
second Gilded Age.

If you just say no to innuendo, then please enter with caution (as the
strumpet said to the stiff). But just remember that, in this case, the only
thing more offensive than the jokes is the truth they pillory- the
corruption of our financial elites and the system that enables them, the
ludicrous hype surrounding technology companies and their founders, and the
blatant hypocrisy of pretty much everyone. It is also, perhaps, one
man’s journey to find a grain of meaning in the castle of sand that is
his life.

 

Praise for Snatch 2&20:

 “Snatch 2&20″ is a remarkable debut novel by Luke
Fellows and one I highly recommend. If you’re looking for an entertaining
escape and enjoy a little zing in your reads, this one scores off the charts
in originality, entertainment value and excellent writing. Well done…Among
the top stories I’ve read so far this year.” – Reader Views

“A raucous story told by a brilliant mind becomes something both
satirical and insightful in Snatch 2&20 by Luke Fellows…the novel
sings like a satirical sword cutting through the worlds of finance and the
realms of human folly, making Snatch 2&20 a timely caper that is both
amusing and insightful from start to finish.” -Self-Publishing Review.
4 stars out of 5.

“In this gloriously sardonic book…the descriptions and dialogue are
consistently pithy and snarky…Overall, this novel will be a riotous ride
for readers…Fast-paced and often hilarious fiction” – Kirkus
Reviews

“Complex, witty, dramatic, thought-provoking, and filled with business
and social inspection…Snatch 2&20 is engrossing, unexpected, and hard
to put down…” -Midwest Book Review

“Snatch 2&20 is just wild enough to support its destructive,
incongruously wholesome conclusion…a clever, cynical novel about the
absurdities of capitalism and the people who prop it up.” 4 Stars out
of 5- Foreword Clarion Reviews.

About the Author

 Luke Fellows is a forty-something recovering hedge fund manager. Born in
London, and educated at St. Paul’s School and Oxford University, he
sacrificed his love of Classics for a Wall Street career, moving to New York
City in 2000. After a sojourn at Harvard Business School, he made the leap
to Silicon Valley, where, in 2008, he co-founded a technology-focused hedge
fund, retiring as soon as his partners could practicably get rid of him.
Despite his best efforts to escape the bubble, he still lives with his wife
and three daughters near Palo Alto, CA. Snatch 2&20 is the first novel
he is admitting to.

YA fantasy – Beyond Relatively Normal

YA fantasy – Beyond Relatively Normal

YA fantasy

Date Published: January 21, 2020

photo add-to-goodreads-button_zpsc7b3c634.png

 

Jack Galloway has had enough of life and is chasing a high he just can’t
seem to find. Upon meeting with a drug dealer from his school, he is given
some mysterious, bean-shaped pills that just so happen to be nothing but
beans. However, Relatively Normal beans do not grow miles and miles into the
sky overnight, drawing attention from everyone around and destroying the
very idea of reality on Earth.

Now, in order to restore his Relatively Normal world, Jack must embark on a
mission with a girl he barely knows from high school, Red Crawford, who just
so happens to be the only one he knows who has encountered a tear in the
non-magical reality they live in.

The beanstalk, too tall and too wide to climb, leads them down a rabbit
hole to the strange and nonsensical Underland, where they must go through
insane trials in order to reach the answer to their problems — the Giants,
magical creatures who live in Overland and can rid the Relatively Normal
world of that pesky beanstalk. However, the beanstalk and its effects on
reality might just be the least of their worries when they reach the dark,
mysterious Overland.

 

Excerpt

Jack sighed. “Listen. It wasn’t a coincidence that yesterday, I
decided to try some harder drugs. It wasn’t a coincidence that Shy
gave me those beans. It wasn’t a coincidence that you were the one to
find me after I passed out. It wasn’t a coincidence that we’ve
been experiencing all of this together. I know we don’t even know each
other that well, but for some weird reason, I feel like we’re in this
together. If we want to fix this, it can’t just be me. It can’t
just be you. It has to be both of us. We’re the reason the portal is
opening, and we’re the ones that have to close it.”
