Following the death of their father, sisters Elinor and Marianne Dashwood are sent to toil at a rundown logging camp deep in Kentucky.

Both sense and sensibility take a back seat as Willoughby, as the beast is dubbed, tears a swath of destruction through Barton Woods, leaving misery and chaos behind for those either too dull-witted to stop his rampage or far too polite to say anything about it.
Can the Dashwood sisters triumph in the face of such carnage to find true love? Or will their crushed bodies be left forgotten in a clearing for the badgers to find? Find out as Shingles paints a less than masterful portrait of Regency era etiquette set amidst a backdrop of deep woods terror.

Jefferson Smith has the best Career Week plans for who to shadow EVER.
On Monday, he's gonna shadow a police detective, and maybe he'll solve a murder, or see somebody get shot.
On Tuesday, he'll shadow the county coroner, because what's cooler than seeing a dead body? Seeing somebody cut up a dead body!
Then on Wednesday, he'll shadow his uncle Cletus, the ob/gyn at the local hospital, and maybe get to see some nekkid lady bits.
On Thursday, he'll have to write a report about it all, which sucks, but it'll be worth it. Then on Friday, he'll present the report in front of the class and everybody will be jealous.
That's the plan, anyway.
He doesn't account for the dead body being a weird dude with his junk gnawed off, the autopsy being the grossest thing he or the coroner has ever seen, and NOTHING could plan for whatever the hell is happening between that old lady's legs. Jeff doesn't know much about women, but he's pretty sure nothing down there oughta be glowing?!?

Bite My H.O.Ass
2022
Who doesn't love a Homeowners' Association? They provide such valuable services as complaining that your house is the wrong shade of beige, complaining that your fence is a quarter of an inch too high, and complaining that you've exceeded the community standard for the number of hookers you're allowed to bury in your backyard.
What organization would you trust more to guide you safely through a zombie apocalypse?

A Hard Bargain
2022
Have you ever considered what would be so valuable to you that it would be worth selling your soul? Money? Power? Fame?
Tina's ambitions aren't quite so lofty. All she wants is to be slightly more attractive so that she can be like the popular girls at school. Fortunately, she runs into Mephistopheles, who has seen enough teen movies to know that the secret to making ugly girls attractive is to remove their glasses.
Join Tina and Mephistopheles as they learn valuable lessons about mortality and friendship.
But be warned. This is not a tale for the faint of heart or weak of bladder. By opening this book, you are exposing yourself to a story so terrifying that you may never have a restful night's sleep again. Reading this could give you nightmares. It could cause urinary tract infections. It might even give you... SHINGLES!

G.I.R.L.3
Girl in the Hood
2022
Rob(erta) Hardlick, aka The Boy Named Sue, has been living the good life within the game Penultimate Phantasm XIX. She’s got her best bud Mich by her side, a Paladin friend with benefits, and enough digital fried chicken to make anyone happy. Everything is as perfect as it can be.
Or at least it is until Proturbo Corp traps Rob and her friends in a game within a game - sending them hurtling far into the distant past where she’ll have to contend with an ancient conspiracy, a chonky new avatar, and a strange tentacle beast growing in her body.
She and Mich will have to battle barbarians, gladiators, and the occasional angry goat to escape. Will they survive Proturbo’s sinister machinations and make it out alive, intact, and with some extra cash in their pockets? To find out, you’ll have to spend some digital coin of your own to immerse yourself neck deep in the reality of… Shingles.

G.I.R.L.4
Combat Devolved
2022
Dammit, it’s happening all over again.
Join a cutting-edge video game, they said. It’ll be fun, they said.
What they neglected to mention was that jacking your brain into a virtual reality simulation was putting your gray matter at the mercy of morons with associates degrees in game design.
I can’t log out.
My friends are all acting strange. Have they gone mad from being trapped here, or is it just me?
Now, just when I thought it couldn’t be worse, I seem to have lost track of time… literally.
I suppose I should take comfort that I got trapped in a triple-A title within this discount metaverse, but according to the robot that looks annoyingly like my best buddy Mich, if I die in here, I die in the real world.
And everyone here is trying to kill me.
Oh, and if I go back to Penultimate Phantasm now, I’ve gotta get hitched to a psycho paladin.
I’m honestly not sure what is worse…

G.I.R.L. 5
Endblame
2022
My name is Rob(erta) Hardlick. I'm the biggest badass in online gaming and now I'm trying to take it to the next level, by becoming an honest to goodness superhero.
Not because the world of Virtual City Smackdown needs saving, mind you, but because my other option is to die a quiet death of domestic bliss with my oh-so-proper British wife - and that's really not my style. I swear if I have to listen to her tell me to stop tracking mob guts into the house one more time...
So anyway, yeah, I'm running away from my problems rather than dealing with them, but I'm having a blast doing so - literally.
Now if I can just get the tentacled hitchhiker living inside my stomach to behave, I'll walk away an absolute legend - just hopefully not a divorced one too.

Rick Gualtieri loves to write adventure, mayhem, and snarky dialogue. His bestselling Tome of Bill series combines all of this into a world of supernatural danger with hard-hitting action and plenty of sharp-tongued geeky humor. Rick lives alone in a dark, evil place called New Jersey with only his wife, three kids, and countless pets to both keep him company and constantly plot against him. When he's not busy monkey-clicking out words, he can typically be found jealously guarding his collection of vintage Transformers from all who would seek to defile them. Defilers beware!
