99 Cent Sale & Giveaway - ISAN – International Sensory Assassin Network by Mary Ting

ISAN – International Sensory Assassin Network by Mary Ting
2018 WINNER INTERNATIONAL BOOK AWARDS IN SCIENCE FICTION
THE WORLD HAS CHANGED.

SCIENTISTS WARNED IT WOULD HAPPEN.

Meteors devastated the Earth. World Governments developed plans to help surviving citizens. The United States disbanded and salvageable land was divided into four quadrants—North, South, East, and West—governed by The Remnant Council.

Struggling to survive, seventeen-year-old Ava ends up in juvenile detention, until she is selected for a new life—with a catch. She must be injected with an experimental serum. The results will be life changing. The serum will make her better. To receive the serum, Ava agrees to join a program controlled by ISAN, the International Sensory Assassin Network.

While on a mission, she is abducted by a rebel group led by Rhett and told that not only does she have a history with him, but her entire past is a lie perpetuated by ISAN to ensure her compliance. Unsure of who to trust, Ava must decide if her strangely familiar and handsome captor is her enemy or her savior—and time is running out.

Praise for ISAN:

“Captivating from the very beginning … this thrilling dystopian drama has a splash of romance and tons of action.” ~ School Library Journal

“Addictive and impossible to put it down!” ~Addison Moore, NYT Bestselling Author

“Would you like my assistance? Or you can just stand there so I can stare at you a bit longer.”
Startled, I whirled toward the sound of a familiar, seductive voice. Sniper stood by the walk-in closet in a cool, relaxed manner with his hand braced on the door. His hair was slicked back, looking polished and debonair. My heart pummeled, but not in fear.
Was I crazy to be attracted to him? Mesmerized by the black tuxedo forming to his perfect body, I stared at him and wondered if I’d dreamed him up. His presence confirmed I hadn’t imagined him above the stairs earlier. Then I wondered if he’d come alone.
“How’d you know I was here?”
Unnerved, I gritted my teeth. He hadn’t heeded my warning to stay away. I should scream or plan an escape out of the bathroom, but I couldn’t move or think. His presence stirred my curiosity and I wanted answers, especially when the lunatic thought he knew me.
“It doesn’t concern you,” he said.
His nonchalant tone caused me to raise my voice. “The hell it doesn’t.”
“I’ll explain later.”
I scoffed. “Are you here to try to kidnap me again?”
I might not have Helix, but I had my heels and months of training backing me up. If there was one thing I was good at, it was bringing a person to their knees. Courage grew inside me and I dropped my dress.
Sniper snapped out of his stupor and his amber eyes grew darker. “Where are my manners? I admire the dress, but I like what you’re wearing now so much more.” He waggled his eyebrows. “You look absolutely beautiful tonight.”
No. Don’t say that.
I became breathless when he closed the gap between us. Why was I letting him? When Sniper raised his hand, I flinched. My heart galloped faster when he cupped my face and ran his thumb ever so tenderly along my cheek.
“I wish I could’ve been your date tonight. We could’ve danced together. Dancing with me always made you happy.”
I closed my eyes for several seconds, hypnotized by his voice, by his touch. I pictured us slow dancing, not because it had happened, but because I desperately wanted the happiness he described.
Then I came to my senses. Leaning into his caress, I pretended to enjoy it, which wasn’t hard. Moving slowly, I raised my knee …

When Messy Hair doesn't have to be messy...

We all have those days where we just want to say "forget it".  That's usually me when I don't get enough sleep.

Although my first thing I need to do before "slaying" my day, is shower.  It's like a mini vacation for me.  

Maybe it's because I was born in July which makes me a Cancer.  My Zodiac symbol is a Crab.  We all know where "crabs" live... Ocean.  I am best at relaxing when I'm near water.  Since I no longer have a pool or live at the ocean, a shower is the next best thing.  (My tub is too small to soak unfortunately.)

I think this is why I can't get motivated in the morning until after I shower, dress and "put my face on".  Yes, even though I work from home, I still do all the things as if I was leaving the house.

Yet... my hair is unsually another subject.  I tend to throw it in a top knot, messy bun, clip, braid etc...

I love the fact I don't' have to wash it every day thanks to incredible products llike "Dry Shampoo". 

Who doesn't love that?

With some incredible hair styling products..  My messy hair doesn't have to be messy by any means...

All achieved with "The Champ", "Reshape", and "Refinish".

Who has hair issues?  

Being a redhead for over 40+ years, my hair is usually the first thing that gets noticed.  Which can be both good and bad honestly.

I have always had "a lot" of hair over the years, being both thick and long, frizz was usually my biggest problem.

I found amazing products back in November that totally changed my hair issues.  Why did I wait so long?  I never knew products like these existed.

Being Natural based, harsh-chemical free and anti-aging, these hair products are a great fit for me and my family.

The Men's, Women's and Children's line has us all set.

My hair has become so healthy in the few short months of using these amazing products that I can now switch back and forth with the different systems that they offer.

If I want to straighten my hair, then I go for the Smoothing line.  If I want even more volume, I go with the Volume line.  My favorite of course will always be the Hyrdation line.

These products have made my hair feel 100% better than my previous hair products.

And I have over 40+ years of using products.

If you would love to know more, please find me on Facebook and join my group here:

I actually have two groups going on, one is completely pampered to all of my customers and I have another that I hold jointly with my sponsor.  We help each other out.

I'd love to get you started with great looking hair today!

PLUS:

I know you love giveaways!

I have plenty scheduled for the month ahead.  Why not join the party today?

5 Star Praise for Amish Acres: The Celery Patch

This book keeps you guessing. I loved it. If you love to try and guess what’s going to happen, and you find yourself talking to the characters in your book, then you’ll love this story. I can’t wait to read the next book. Samantha Bayarr is a gifted author. I would recommend all of her books. ~ Fred Coenen, Amazon Customer

This book was such a wonderful read! The characters were interesting and the storyline was fun. This read was one I could not put down from start to finish. The interaction between the characters kept me guessing who planted the celery and who would wind up together and getting married. I highly recommend reading this book for a relaxing and enjoyable evening! I can’t wait to read the next book in the series!! ~ Hope W, Amazon Customer

Great book. Very good storyline. Loved the characters, even the not so nice one! The ending holds a nice surprise, not the one I expected! ~ Beba Wildes, Amazon Customer

Naomi and Jeremiah’s story was an enjoyable read. It was well written with a well developed plot and characters. It contained jealousy, mystery, suspense, romance and enough twists and turns to keep me turning the pages. I highly recommend this book! ~ Judith Tulloch, Amazon Customer

Excerpt

“I’m getting married this wedding season, too!” Naomi Yoder blurted out before she could stop the words from pouring from her lips.
Her sister, Ruthie, sucked in her breath and covered her mouth, then quickly recovered from the shock.
Her best friend, Katie Troyer, squealed and pulled Naomi into a hug. “So he asked you, then?” Katie gushed, a giggle exploding from deep within her.
Not exactly!
Ruthie sat across from them. “Who asked you? Jeremiah?”
Naomi nodded, enjoying the attention she was getting over her fake announcement.
Annie Lapp, who’d walked over to their house to discuss a community quilt project, sank into the wicker chair nearest the swing where Naomi and Katie sat. “I don’t believe you, Naomi; you’re a liar!”
Naomi felt her blood run cold despite the heat of the morning sun beaming across the covered porch; her heart drummed against her ribs like a team of horses galloping at full speed. Of course, it was a lie, but she didn’t have much experience with lying the way Annie did; was it possible the girl’s bad habits were rubbing off on her? She hadn’t meant to say it, especially in front of Annie, who was the biggest gossip in the community. If only Katie hadn’t made her jealous with her own wedding news to Benjamin Mast. Not only had it made her worry that she was the last to make such an announcement from her age group, but Naomi just couldn’t take another minute of Annie’s or her sister’s teasing.
Hearing the word spinster coming from her own sister’s mouth had caused her to overreact, and now it was too late to take it back. Not only would Annie tell the entire community about her lie, but she would also add her own lies to make the situation worse. Annie annoyed her with her constant invasive prying, just so she’d have something to gossip about. Well, this time, Naomi had gone and given her plenty to wag her tongue about.

$50 giveaway-Confessions of a Middle-Aged Housewife by Ginger Rocks

Confessions of a Middle-Aged Housewife Vol 1
(Monthly Confessions)  by Ginger Rocks
and
$50 Amazon gift card giveaway!

My name is Aurora Dunbar. I’m just a middle-aged housewife with 2 kids, a lawyer for a husband and a three story home located in a small town near you. Although names, including myself, have been changed as not to incriminate or discriminate the innocent or the guilty. My Monthly Chronicles pulled from my personally documented journal are not for the faint of heart, anyone with a weak stomach, ill health or high and mighty morals.

I ask that you do not try to contact me nor blame me if my erotica adventures in same way alter your lifestyle in anyway. By reading these confessions you clear me of any discrimination, responsibility or misleading representation that your life should be in any way as glamorous and erotic as mine.

I’m here to set my story straight. There is no need to be envious or jealous. I’m normal. I’m average. I’m married. I love social media sites, wine and crafty pinning sites as much as the next. I’m certainly not perfect. I’m just... a middle-aged housewife.

See Warning Label here: Must be 18+ to enter:

No outfit is complete without my ruby red lips outlined every so lightly with my brown lip pencil.  I have perfected this technique some twenty years ago when I first started wearing lipstick.

I’d say my body is above average.  I mean I’ve had two kids but I’ve tried to maintain good health along with a weekly exercise regimen that I usually adhere too.  Have I given up things?  Yes...unfortunately, bread being one of them.  It’s because of the gluten.  

Do you realize how bad it is for your body? Well I didn’t until my health nut of a husband brought home a book from a colleague. It had some very interesting facts.  I soon realized by giving up gluten, my body discovered its youth appearance once again.

With being five foot nine, 155 pounds, I sound like I’m overweight but with my softball frame from high school, along with my gymnastics flexibility I acquired as a youth, I definitely maintained a great shape if I do say so myself.  It doesn’t come easy.  Again, having to give up gluten, adding weekly exercises, I’ve added yoga and meditation into my busy schedule.  I’ve found having a good mindset has done wonders for me as well.

Have I digressed once again?  I want you to realize I’m by no means perfect nor am I the cheerleader you might have expected me to be.  Shyness use to run through my veins until my husband came into my life.  He brought out the tigress in me and I’m all the better for it. So let’s get back to my task at hand.

I can’t seem to contain myself with the thought of my possible seduction and conquer of my unaware husband today. You think being married for so long, I would lose interest.  To be honest, at one point in my marriage I did, perhaps on several occasions since I’m being honest and I’m using an assumed name.

This is why I have to use my imagination and being a woman of my age, I have one incredible and horny imagination. Please remember to take this as a warning.

My husband never saw it coming. Strutting down the stairs like I was born on a runway, with my curves over extended as I emphasized every step. Taking the duster in one hand and the lemon scented polishing spray in the other; I clearly had no intention of finishing each and every blind that this room had waiting for me.

I could see that at least I was worthy of a raised eyebrow.  That’s ok with me - for right now.  I know what I have planned and starting something now is not about to get me the ecstasy I intend on discovering with him when I’m good and ready. 

She’s just a twenty-something girl living her dream in a middle-aged body. With a background in Camouflage while masquerading as a Customer Service rep for far too many years, she’s living the day to day hustle with hiding and suppressing her secret identity as a writer.

By continually ignoring self-doubt and letting her inner Goddess be heard, she has decided to quit living the life that was expected of her and begin living the life she always dreamt of.

With her first Erotica monthly series hitting Amazon, this Goddess never wants to let anything stand in her way again. Watch her monthly Chronicles unfold with her Erotica Debut - “Confessions of a Middle-aged Housewife.”

With her preorder of  Confessions of a Middle-Aged Housewife available now,  you don't want to miss your opportunity to start this journey from the very beginning.
