Manure: The Adventure of Jim Brown Godwin

By Peggy Godwin

This is not a once upon a time story with fire breathing dragons, aliens from outer space, nor giants climbing down beanstalks.

Even something as disgusting as manure can take on magical qualities that lead to adventures in your own backyard. In the summer of 1942, while the world was at war, Jim Brown Godwin found himself covered from head to toe in manure. This is his story, how he got there, what he did, and – most importantly – how he got out.

This is a real story complete with bratty brothers, adults who never grew up, and some very ordinary, everyday heroes… and, oh yes, manure. There’s no mistaking it. If you see it, smell it, or step in it, you know it. Call it poop, dung, do-do, cow pies, scat, turds – or as your grandmother might politely say, excrement, bowel movement, feces, or defecation, there’s only one word for it – Yuck!

And Marvel by Cathleen Davies

March 16, 2023

https://books2read.com/andmarvel

Death is hard. It’s as inevitable as manipulation and misogyny; as inevitable as love, conflict, insanity, sleep-deprivation, and broken hearts. It’s coming. It’s here.

On the 28th April 2018, a young poet called Dan “DC” Collins was found dead in the woodlands by his home in Birmingham. He’d taken his own life. This was done, at least in part, because I had made the incredibly selfish decision to stop being his girlfriend. This decision would go on to affect the rest of my adult life.

I decided to escape from this reality by moving away to Basque Country, hoping to Eat, Pray, Love my way out of the survivor’s guilt and PTSD. This did not work. Instead, I had a nervous breakdown. Away from all the people who loved me, un-medicated, and isolated in a country where I didn’t speak the language, I managed to incredibly successfully push myself over the edge. It was a bad decision. I did however, manage to keep a diary of this inevitable mental decline. That diary is And Marvel.

I wanted to show this reality from the perspective of a flawed, grieving person. I wanted, most importantly, to keep DC alive in the only way I could.

This book contains candid discussions of suicide and the ways the world holds women responsible for the actions of their partners.

In a world of gray, this is the only place he can breathe.

The one that has killed him over and over again? When Talib, the element of Judgment, interrupts the fight, Geliah is furious. His aim? To force Hotan to awaken his own abilities and immortality before taking revenge.

Normally, when pulled out of the reincarnation spell, an immortal remembers who and what they are, but this is not the Hotan from the past. Despite the powers manifesting, Hotan must figure out what happened to the original entity who once held these powers and eventually face Geliah. Is it because he’s a failed reincarnation, or did something far more tragic happen during his last death?

Walk beside Hotan as he struggles to keep his chaotic life in order while uncovering the secrets of his own element—Rebirth.

King

February 16, 2023 12:00 PM EST – https://books2read.com/noman05

There will be no peace, not even for the people of Espar.

The people have suffered long enough under the reign of squabbling princes. Prince Tohmas of Galanth has the perfect solution: supersede the Princes with a King. With the blessing of his Goddess Inac and the strength of the enchanted sword SoulBurner, he will be that King.

While half of Espar pledges allegiance, the other half declares war. Tohmas’ eyes turn to his greatest opposition, the Princedom of Trulin, where Prince Kelland is readying his majestic warhorses for battle. Victory in Trulin will only come with persistence and faith, but Inac’s favor is becoming fickle. Without Inac, SoulBurner is nothing, and Tohmas’ claim to Espar cannot be upheld.

As magic powers collide and dragons take to the skies, Tohmas faces a threat his training and years of experience in war are useless against: Prince Kelland’s daughter Arnika Trulin.

I had a psychotic break…

At least that’s what the doctors and the man claiming to be my husband tell me. But after spending a month in a mental health hospital, I’m left questioning everything. The memories of Emiliano Calvano and our time together fade with each passing day until one day … they’re gone.

Was he ever real? Was it all in my imagination, a dark romance novel of my own making? Or is someone else writing the story? My heart tells me my dark Roma don will come for me, but will he make it before I’m written out of the story entirely?

A mafia romance full of mystery, intrigue, and steam, The Roma’s Promise will have readers on the edge of their seats to see if Emiliano comes back into Greta’s life despite the odds.

David might have forgiven him, but can he forgive himself?

Sacrificial cults, giant man-eating serpents, even ghosts – Khazak has seen it all lately, but with his avakesh David by his side, he knows they can weather any storm that blows their way. After unexpectedly doubling the size of their group and making a brief detour to the ruins of the ancient elven city of Karthani, things are finally back on track. As long as they keep following the road north, they’ll reach their destination in no time. The group just has to keep the stops they make and the trouble they cause to a minimum. Easy, right?

David’s been doing great. He’s got Khazak, his friends, and he’s even been able to reconnect with his twin brother, Michael. Now all he needs is for things to stay on track, and once they reach Maname they’ll hopefully be able to figure out the strange things that have been happening since that fateful night in the Temple of Zeus. But of course, nothing is that simple, and when danger rears its ugly head, it not only puts his relationship with Khazak at risk, but threatens to reveal the dark truth of how they really met to everyone.

This book is filled with laughs, adventure, would-be royalty, werewolves, and ridiculous costumes!

If you like to read gay/male-on-male romances with Dom/sub elements, kinky relationships, and BDSM, give this story a try!

Brighde Reborn

February 23, 2023 12:00 PM EST – https://books2read.com/brighde01

Bridget’s Senior Year Checklist includes:

  1. Hook the new guy, Trip
  2. Hang with newly discovered cousin, Cay aka the most popular boy at OCHS
  3. Find missing weather controlling Amulet
  4. Pass SATs
  5. Save the world

In her quiet Jersey Shore town, high school senior Bridget MacNamara just wants to get a date with the strikingly attractive new kid, Trip, but fate and her lineage have other ideas. Things get weird when the most popular guy in school, Cailean “Cay” McKay, won’t leave her alone. Turns out they’re distant cousins and what’s more—they’re the descendants of twin Scottish goddesses, Brighde and Beira.

The sisters originally shared an amulet that controlled the weather, and its sudden disappearance has sparked betrayal and vengeance, dividing the once-close family into two rival factions for the last few centuries. Bridget finds herself thrown into a modern version of Scottish mythology when she learns she’s directly descended from Brighde, and Trip can be traced straight to Beira.

After a century of family warfare, Trip and Bridget are now a star-crossed couple, forced to fight both their families and each other in a race to find the missing amulet.

Wasn’t senior year supposed to be a breeze?

Honorable Darkness: Story of Hex and Snip

February 1, 2023 1:00 PM EST – https://books2read.com/RealmSeries9

Legends claim they are a pair born with souls so tarnished that they steal all the light and happiness from those who dare cross their path.

Revered as beings of myth and legend, they are the first twins born in the Realm for eons. They have become the monsters parents warn children about when they misbehave. Many of the kingdoms see them as a dangerous abomination.

Authenticity has been lost in time, leaving only the twisted and embellished tales of the impossible twin princes that had everything but desired more. After the significant loss of their mother, their only source of joy was their sister, Evie. But when she is taken under mysterious circumstances, the twins clash with their father, each other, and the rules of life itself in an attempt to save her life.

When it comes to the truth of their lives, Hex and Snip find themselves wishing the twisted stories of their past were true. For the truth is much, much worse.
