This is one of the most powerful descriptions of the scourge of the First World War by a woman who was on the front lines and ultimately gave her life for the cause.

Sarah Broom Macnaughtan volunteered with the Red Cross Society when World War One broke out, and that is when she started keeping a record of what she saw.

In September 1914 she travelled to Antwerp in Belgium as part of an ambulance unit, and as Head of the Orderlies she was witness to hundreds of wounded and dying men passing through her hospital.

Her and her staff desperately tried to help them as best they could despite limited resources, and bombs falling all around them.

For her bravery and work under fire in Belgium, she eventually received the Order of Leopold.

This is the story of her life during the First World War.

Sarah Broom Macnaughtan (26 October 1864 – 24 July 1916) was a Scottish-born novelist. Sarah participated in the women's suffrage movement, aided victims of the Balkan war, performed social services for the poor in London's East End, and worked for the Red Cross during the Second Boer War. During the outbreak of the First World War, she volunteered with the Red Cross Society. Her novels include ‘Selah Harrison’, ‘The fortune of Christina M'Nab,’ ‘A lame dog's diary and The expensive Miss Du Cane.

Synopsis

It’s really simple. I needed money. A lot of money. One million dollars to be exact. The amount didn’t matter. All that mattered is that at the end of that price tag held my father’s life.

No money. No life.

The time limit was one year. On January 1st I had to pay up or my Father was going to be killed.

When you’re faced with an ultimatum like this, you do whatever you have to do.

And that’s exactly what I did.

The job…Exquisite Escorts. My role, serve as high priced arm candy to anyone that can afford the $100,000 price tag for a month of my company. Sex is optional (for me) and a 20% increase on the price.

***
Mia Saunders just barely escaped a paltry life back home in Las Vegas until she gets the call that her Father has been beaten to within an inch of his life for not paying his gambling debt. Problem is, the lone shark is her lousy, ruthless ex-boyfriend. Another guy in a long line of men she’d fallen head over heels for. Not anymore. Mia’s mission is simple. Serve as a high-priced escort for her Aunt’s company and pay monthly against her Father’s bad debt. A month with a rich man who she doesn’t have to sleep with if she doesn’t want to? Easy money. At least that’s the way it was supposed to go.

Each installment in the Calendar Girl Serial will release every month throughout 2015. The stories will feature Mia, told from her perspective as she continues her journey as an escort to twelve clients in twelve different locations.

Warning: This book is designed for audiences 18+ due to language and graphic sexual content.

As part of a family where life happens to you, fifteen-year-old Carasine Busey is devastated but not surprised when her family drops everything in Sweet Hollow, Louisiana to follow her dad’s shaky career as a welder. It’s not especially shocking, either, when he abandons them all shortly after they settle into their new home in the city.

Carasine, her mom Rhonda, and the rest of the Busey clan have adapted to roll with the punches. From Rhonda’s secret broken heart to Great-Great-Grandpa Jimbo’s eccentric failed dreams, Carasine and her family are used to disappointment.

It’s not until Carasine gets a second chance with an unlikely pair of long-lost relatives that she realizes her path in life might be up to her to navigate. Being their flesh and blood convinces her that there may be some hope for her after all.

I signed on to give this baby a second chance for a mother. I never counted on falling for my ex.

I broke up with my high school sweetheart when I went away to college.
I never expected him to knock up my sister.
It was easy to tell myself it wasn't my fault. That they didn't exist.
Until the day my sister died, with a clause in her will begging me to be a mother to their baby.
How could I deny the child?
Except that means seeing and being with Ethan every day.
I watch in wonder as he deals with his little girl, he's the most loving, caring father.
Soon, my body fills with desire whenever he walks into the room.
I try to ignore his crazy sexy body and even sexier smile, but every day it gets harder.
Now he says he wants me. He's always wanted me.
And he wants us to be a family.

*** A steamy STANDALONE contemporary romance with a smoking hot hero. No cliffhanger, no cheating and a guaranteed happily-ever-after.***

Just before the outbreak of the Second World War, Crozier wrote these personal reflections on the First.

Published in 1937, Crozier’s ‘true confessions’ argue that if England were to go to war again, it would bring about the end of civilisation.

One of several controversial books authored by Crozier, The Men I Killed draws on his own military experiences to paint a brutal picture of war.

In depicting the horrors of life in the trenches, he focuses in particular on the pressure during the Great War for an officer at the front to ‘hold the line’ at all costs — even when this meant shooting his own men to keep them from fleeing.

This, Crozier writes, comes as a result of the need for ‘justice’ to be upheld through Force: the only way to keep a man from using his revolver and shooting, in the name of justice, is to disarm him.

Disarmament forms a key branch of the plan Crozier outlines for achieving a global peace.

Aircraft, which he writes is an evil invention that dramatically changed the nature of warfare due to its inability to be stopped and its threat to women, children, and other innocents.

Crozier also forcefully argues that as long as the Church continues to pervert Christ’s teachings through the support of warfare, and the assertion that God is on England’s side when she goes into battle, that true peace and disarmament are impossible to achieve.

The Men I Killed is a representation of a former military officer’s understanding of war and the urgent need for pacifism in the face of another rapidly approaching world war.

Brigadier General Frank Percy Crozier C.B. C.M.G. D.S.O. (1879-1937) was a British Army officer. He served in the Boer War, the First World War, the Lithuanian Wars of Independence and finally in Ireland. During this last posting he became disillusioned with the British regime and subsequently became a pacifist, writing a number of controversial books.

Sorcery is a sin that has been purged. But now sin is the world's only hope.

Lavery Opsillian would trade anything, even his ghostly friends in the city tombs who comfort him, to have his father back. Instead, he must face reality as Valios' new king.

But his kingship is short-lived. Seized by cutthroats and held for ransom, Lavery learns he possesses a gift he soon deems a curse, but one that may well douse the flames threatening to engulf his world.

Sorcery has returned, and dragons are coming.

 All My Love,Detrick is the story of a forbidden love that thrusts two families, one German,one Jewish, into a spider web of danger during the terrifying years of the Third Reich.

A holistic approach to health and training that takes rest into account as well as  exercise  and helps you to develop a routine which is best for YOU, not an 'average' person.

Author Jef Geys is a physiotherapist and an osteopath who has worked  for many years with top level sportsmen, special forces and professionals to optimise their health regimes.

A bestseller in Belgium now in Engllish.

 

There’s no woman I can’t conquer.

Hundreds of eager women are in the shared black ledger the football players of the Jupiter Suns call The Playbook. But there’s only one that I want. The one marked untouchable.

Women fall to my feet as soon as I turn on the Jacob Maddox charm, and yet my new teammates don’t think I can get one woman into my bed? Pfft, they don’t know who they are dealing with.

The Playbook says she’s unconquerable, unobtainable, and off limits, but I’ve never shied away from a challenge before, and I’m not going to start now. One look will be all it takes for her to open up her legs. Lucia will be mine for a night, then forgotten about for the rest of the season. I’ll collect my winnings and concentrate on what really matters: getting my number one spot back!

But as soon as I get one addictive taste of Lucia Cortes the plan goes to shit… she’s a game changer. The play is busted and I’m scrambling to keep it together.

I can’t sleep, I can’t eat… I can barely breathe without her. She’s slipping through my fingers and it only gets worse when I find out who she really is!

I don’t have a chance in hell of keeping her, but I’ll risk everything to make her mine.

The Playbook is a new, full-length (70k+) romance novel with a HEA.

Rivals in everything, until they're forced to share the most precious thing of all … her.

Business. Money. Women. Bennett McCardiff and Sam Baines compete over anything and everything. At The Orchid Room, an exclusive pleasure club where they’re both members, their rivalry is well known and little tolerated. When they nearly come to blows over the same redhead up on the auction block, the proprietors issue them an ultimatum:

Share her for a month, or lose their club privileges forever.

Lila Emery is drowning in family medical bills and the auction at The Orchid Room seems too good to be true. A month with a wealthy patron, and the chance to walk away with a stack of cash? Bring it on.

That is, until she comes up against Sam and Bennett. Two men who can’t seem to agree on anything … except how much they want her.

But when the three of them are together, something sparks. Something none of them saw coming. Something wrong … yet oh so right.

It can't last though ... because Lila has a secret. The real reason she was at Orchid that night. And once Bennett and Sam uncover the truth, things may never be the same.

Bought By Two is a high heat MMF bisexual romance with scenes of MF, MM, MFM and MMF. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a happily ever after, of course!

Hunter Ross, part owner of Eye Candy Handyman, is required to work without his shirt but keep his hands to himself. He thinks his next remodel is going to be like every other before, but Cybill, a newly single blonde bombshell and his newest client has other plans.

DON’T SLEEP WITH THE CLIENTS—it’s an unwritten rule and one Hunter is more than happy to break.

Warning: If you’re looking for something hot and dirty short read, Falon & Nix Stone are about to deliver. Spread Wide is a steamy short story, filled with passion, heat, and lots of play. It’s an over-the-top insta-love tale that will leave you panting for more.

Political propaganda would have us believe vampires are our friends. Fanged teddy bears misunderstood thanks to archaic lore. Activists picket for them to be welcomed into our society.

They claim vamps don't kill.
They preach we are safe.
They ... are dead wrong.

One year ago a hive slaughtered my family and left me for dead. Found by a team of scientists with their own agenda, I was forged into an unstoppable weapon.

I possess their strength, with none of their weaknesses.
I can move among them free from their crippling hunger.
I am their greatest threat.

Armed with this arsenal, vengeance will feed my desire to penetrate the seedy underbelly of their fetishized lifestyle and expose them for the monsters they truly are.

Seasoned New Orleans detective Skip Langdon is at the top of her game as she tracks down a serial killer, navigates deadly family secrets, and delves deep into the mastermind of a psychopath unlike any you've ever encountered. The goddess-sized cop is up to her shoulder-holster in gritty, action-packed subplots and story twists, as the psychopath threatens those Skip loves.

Fans of Ace Atkins, Tana French, Sue Grafton, and Marcia Muller will love Skip Langdon’s pluck and charm!

CRESCENT CITY CONNECTION

Sure, New Orleans is known for corruption, but suddenly the good guys get a break—an honest police chief. And then someone guns him down. When a terrifying organization called The Jury takes out the cop-killer, Detective Skip Langdon’s on the case. But no one cares! After all, the guy was a cop-killer.

Skip cares really a lot—because she suspects The Jury’s the brainchild of her old nemesis, self-described preacher Errol Jacomine. And because other lives are at stake—those of Jacomine's granddaughter Lovelace and his younger son Isaac. Eager to add Lovelace to his maniacal fold, Jacomine has Lovelace kidnapped. And Langdon comes up with a plan so clever even the FBI can’t shout her down.

82 DESIRE

It seems Councilwoman Bebe Fortier has misplaced her equally prominent husband, United Oil VP Russell Fortier. Across town, part-time detective/poet Talba Wallis has a simple wish--to find out what Russell Fortier's disappearance has to do with her. But the private investigator who hired her to spy on Fortier can't help her out. He's lying in his office with a bullet in his chest. Reporter Jane Storey is walking down the same mean, sultry street—she's on the brink of the biggest story of her life. But she's got a bad feeling she's being played like a deck of cards by a tipster with a malevolent agenda.

Now Orleans Police Detective Skip Langdon soon senses something big starting to unfold, something a lot bigger than a missing husband. Something rooted in corruption, resulting in violence—and motivated by that old demon . . . desire.

MEAN WOMAN BLUES

The Rev. Errol Jacomine is crazy as a fox and more dangerous than a cell full of serial killers. He's trying to off Detective Skip Langdon, the New Orleans cop who’s twice smashed his criminal endeavors, yet each time he’s managed to slip away. Now he’s mad. In both senses of the word. And he has the connections to have her killed—or worse, those she loves.

Despite finding herself disgraced in her own home town (seems Jacomine knows how to frame as well as kill), she goes on the hunt for the kind of maniac with a gift for conning people and the extreme makeover to make it work.
