“I’m Addicted To Asian Guys: Online Interracial Dating Stories” by Faye Amia

“About “I’m Addicted To Asian Guys: Online Interracial Dating Stories” by Faye Amia.:

When I was 19 years old, my life changed.

I stopped practicing my religion, had sex for the first time, and started dating Asian guys exclusively.

I was obsessed with Asian guys.

It all started when I was in high school.

I enrolled in a Mandarin class.

I came to love the language and started watching Chinese music videos to increase my vocabulary in Mandarin.

That’s when I realized how hot Asian guys were.

From that point on, I was hooked.

Here’s the thing…

I was an EXTREMELY shy person, so I wouldn’t dare hit on a guy, especially a guy I wasn’t even sure was attracted to me.

That’s when I started using Craigslist (which is one of the most popular online classifieds websites).

In the personal ad section, I posted an ad seeking Asian guys that were attracted to African-American women.

I did not include a picture of myself initially for privacy reasons but instructed any interested ones to email me if they were open to the idea of dating a Black woman.

To my surprise, the responses flooded in.

In this book, you will find out how I lost my virginity, almost got arrested, and was unknowingly a mistress.

“About The Lost Years of Billy Battles (Book 3 in the Finding Billy Battles Trilogy):

ABOUT THE LOST YEARS OF BILLY BATTLES:
The year is 1914 and the world is in turmoil. In Europe, the Great War is raging. In Asia, fierce insurgencies are in progress against the colonial powers of Europe. In Mexico, a bloody revolution is ripping that nation to shreds and threatening to spill over into Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona.
Meanwhile, in Chicago, Billy Battles and his wife, the former Baroness Katharina von Schreiber, have managed to live an uncommonly sedate life for almost ten years. But, with one telephone call their tranquil world is shattered.
Katharina and Billy set off on a succession of wild adventures that will alter their lives for all time. Their new and violent world is one brimming with miscreants, secret agents, treachery, and tragedy. But most importantly, it triggers Billy’s mysterious decades-long disappearance. Where is he? What happened? The answers are in The Lost Years of Billy Battles, Book 3of the award-winning Finding Billy Battles trilogy.
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THIS FINAL CHAPTER IN THE AMAZING LIFE OF BILLY BATTLES:
“This well-written conclusion to the Billy Battles Trilogy is its crown jewel. The characters are so vivid and compelling it’s hard to believe that this is a work of fiction. Astounding imagery puts you right in the thick of things. In more ways than I can count, this book is a masterpiece.” Marcha Fox, author of the Star Trails Tetralogy Series.

“Ron Yates is a master of historical fiction. The Lost Years of Billy Battles is an epic finale to an incredible lifetime.” Scott Skipper, best-selling author of Artifact and many other titles.

“Exclamations all OVER the place about this wonderful trilogy…and this final book in it!” Heidi Mastrogiovanni, screenwriter and author of Lala Pettibone’s Act Two

“A perfect finish to a masterful series expertly written and researched as only award-winning author Ron Yates could do. The characters were terrific!” John Howell, author of Circumstances of childhood.
“This is a series of books that kept me thinking about the storyline even when I was not actively reading. I constantly looked forward to where the story took me and suffered a huge letdown when the story ended. I did not want the story to end but wanted it to go on. The characters were very easy to get to know and to picture in my mind. I also got a great history lesson as I read about all of the adventures of Billy Battles. Prior to reading the series, I was totally unaware of the US involvement in the Philippines and the ‘invasion’ of Veracruz.” Larry Plano

“A trilogy that will have your attention from book 1, Finding Billie Battles. Book 3, The Lost Years of Billy Battles, brings back so many characters you’ve come love and hate. I’m sorry it’s over but will have the chance to begin again. Thank you, Ron Yates, for sharing your gift.” Terry Bruton

Arthur’s Choice by Matej Stepan

Leave a Comment

“About Arthur’s Choice:

One day something snaps inside Arthur Gibson, a burnt out forty year old manager tired by his rat race office life, and within one hour he sells everything he owns, flies to the sea, buys a sailboat and drives to the horizon, planning on never coming back.

Of course this noble attempt to set himself free goes terribly wrong as the corporate environment didn’t exactly prepare Arthur well for an off the grid sailor’s life. So however free and independent he now feels, soon his biggest problem is how to survive.

His escape becomes an international media sensation thanks to Alice Garbo, an ambitious journalist who makes Arthur and herself famous to boost her career. Millions admire his courage to ‘stick it to the man’, millions call him a coward. Soon, Alice toys with Arthur’s destiny as she pleases, moves him like a chess piece to make his story appealing to the audience. He becomes a wanted felon pursued by Interpol and so he finds himself almost dying on a boat he can’t drive, being chased by police for something he didn’t do and haunted by a media alter ego that has a life of its own. Arthur has bitten off more than he can chew.

Arthur’s Choice talks about taking a scary leap of faith when finding one’s personal fulfillment without conforming to where society tells you a true happiness is. In today’s fast paced, performance oriented first world, this book offers the answer to the question ‘what if I just said enough?’ The story is for adults struggling to find meaning or joy in mundane unfulfilling jobs, those tired by the contemporary speed of life.

A Time of Ashes by Ru Pringle

Leave a Comment

“About A Time of Ashes:

BEFORE THE CORRUPTION CAME, Murrin Kentle lived in a world where the largest island could be walked across in a day, and humans traded and fished in bladeships made from the bones of the gigantic and bizarre sea monsters patrolling its stormy, bottomless oceans. As a truthkeep of the Brotherhood of the First Mind, it’s been his duty to fight the decay of knowledge with religious fervour. A fervour he’s increasingly struggled to maintain.

Before the Corruption came, Sheehan hahe Seeheeli was a carefree countess of the Shi’iin. Amphibious and matriarchal, her people have maintained an uneasy coexistence with the human scholars dominating the islands. Then an emissary of the gods brings news of an impending catastrophe. Now, she and Murrin must embark on a desperate voyage in the hope of salvation, though both the subject of their search and the path they must take remain stubbornly obscure.

Before the Corruption came, a wild young man named Coll grew up in a desert town, consumed by rage over what was done to his mother. His thirst for retribution will set in motion a train of events not even the gods could fully have foretold.

NOW THE CORRUPTION IS HERE, and nothing in Murrin’s world, nor any of the worlds of the Sundered Realm, will ever be the same.

By turns touching, thrilling and horrific, A Time of Ashes is the first part of a beautifully written epic tale of discovery, friendship, loss, and survival against crushing odds.

Book 1 in Fate and the Wheel series. Contains a cliffhanger.

Featured Post: Truncate by Michael Toledano

Leave a Comment

“About Truncate:

A unique Victorian-era suspense story heightened with a touch of mystery and romance. The focus rests on the efforts of the unwitting protagonist to thwart attempts on his life instead of the usual ace detective or the latent genius of an amateur sleuth so typical of the genre. The plot centers on the survival of an unsuspecting member of the rising London commercial gentry toward the end of the nineteenth century. 

Timothy Brompton is the proprietor of a thriving pharmaceutical firm, Thames Pharmaceuticals, in the age of growing brand name companies. He has inherited the firm after his father’s untimely death and has effectively managed it to one of the major players in the lucrative pharmaceutical industry in England. Unknown to him, his company’s success has interfered with the expansion of a sinister underground syndicate which deals exclusively in opium and its derivatives- Opium at the turn of the twentieth century was not restricted by law. This clandestine consortium intends to expand their operations into legitimate apothecaries throughout England. Their intent is to further capitalize on the addictive properties of an often times prescribed drug for treating a variety of maladies from depression to body pains. 

When an agreement between Thames Pharmaceuticals and the influential Tinsworthy Apothecary in Bristol is imminent, this anonymous group decides to take action and destroy Mr. Brompton as they have others who effectively hinder their plans for expansion. 

Timothy Brompton is thrust into one life-threatening predicament after another starting with a mysterious package found by his front door. Little does he suspect that he is being fiendishly toyed with by the opium syndicate’s enforcer who has a penchant for teasing his victims much like a cat with a captured mouse before snuffing it out. 

The Victorian period has always held fascination for Michael Toledano. A computer programmer/analyst by profession, Mr. Toledano’s avid interest in Victorian England was the perfect vehicle to launch his pursuit of being a published writer. After years of research, he has penned a thrilling Victorian suspense novel, Truncate. 

Mike’s aspiration to write began in his college days. Now later in his life, he fulfills this dream by publishing a novel having the suspense, mystery, romance, and betrayal in a genre he loves. An avid fan of the classic novels and films of this time period, Truncate is the culmination of years of gleaning the stirring aspects of the Victorian mystery and creating a unique tale combining these elements. The result is a fast pace Victorian odyssey.

However, even though he finds it tempting, he still has misgivings which are not all related to leaving his life-fulfilling profession.
Compounding his uncertainty is his own survival. A routine assignment to transport a man who murdered a deputy sheriff in the town of Iron Horse Junction to the territorial capital of Santa Fe goes awry. The trials and tribulations he endures during this incident will finally cause him to make his fateful decision. Whatever he chooses—everything hangs on his ability to survive his present ordeal.
