Book excerpt: Andrew Ciulla hadn't intended to spend most of his life as a freelance writer at age 18 after high school. He entered an art school to learn to paint like the davincis and bottcellis of Italy's golden age of art. This volume titled Cabbages and Kings is sort of a quick review of what Andrew Ciulla has been up to these years. His injection of eighteen poems to the eighteen short stories makes this a good book to have in everybody's library. Sort of two books in one.

Book excerpt: I tried to rise up but couldn't. I was tied to the table and couldn't move. Where on earth could this be? I started to squirm a little, trying to move. I was totally secured to the table. I was coming out of the anesthesia more and started looking around the room as best I could. The room was all white and real clean. My head was secured, and I could only move my eyes to see...Nothing made sense. Where am I? Did I die? Is this heaven? Or did I not make it to heaven? That disk in the south pasture—could that have anything to do with it? All I remember was looking at that glowing disk and then waking up here... I kept my eyes closed, not wanting them to know I was awake until I could figure this out in my mind. I heard a soft feminine voice say, 'David, are you awake?' The last thing West Texas rancher David McKenzie remembers is a flying saucer hovering over his pasture. He wakes up to find himself face-to-face with an alien. But when Clair, his captor, shows him his own photo album of his family, he's in for an even bigger shock. This strange-looking creature is his granddaughter, seven generations into the future! Clair quickly fills him in on the dire situation of the earth in her time. Criminals run free, food and oxygen are in limited supply, and the government is corrupt. Time is running out for his descendants, and they have chosen David for a seemingly impossible task: to save the human race. David returns home, ready for action. There's only one problem. Who's going to believe him? Heed this Future Warning, and you could save the world too!

Book excerpt: Kate Skylar is an ordinary seventeen-year-old with an extraordinary destiny. A virgin, Kate suddenly finds herself pregnant with what she believes is the Son of God. But the Catholic Church is convinced Kate is carrying the Antichrist and, assisted by an artificial intelligence known as Grand Inquisitor, will stop at nothing to kill Ethan, her son. Ethan’s only protection is Conversatio, a secret organization dedicated to the Second Coming—which may have its own dark agenda. As Ethan grows up in anonymity, ignorant of his true identity and not knowing whom to trust, he must come to terms with his miraculous abilities and make a fateful choice that will determine the future of all mankind. And for Kate, an equally difficult struggle looms, as well as a mother’s devastating choice. Godsent is a wild religious thriller, a page-turner that keeps you guessing until the very last page. Burton, in his fiction debut, crafts a tightly-wound narrative with a heart-pounding plot and emotional resonance that will ring true to anyone with children of their own, all while the fate of humanity hangs in the balance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elizabeth Strong Worthington was a popular American writer during the latter part of the 19th century. "A great many husbands are spoiled by mismanagement. Some women go about it as if their husbands were bladders, and blow them up; others keep them constantly in hot water; others let them freeze, by their carelessness and indifference. Some keep them in a stew, by irritating ways and words; others roast them; some keep them in pickle all their lives. Now it is not to be supposed that any husband will be good, managed in this way-turnips wouldn't; [10]onions wouldn't; cabbage-heads wouldn't, and husbands won't; but they are really delicious when properly treated."

Book excerpt: A privileged young woman finds romance with the English poet William Wordsworth and adventure amid the French Revolution in this debut historical novel. Born into a world of wealth and pleasure, Annette Vallon enjoys the privileges of aristocracy, but a burning curiosity and headstrong independence set her apart from other women of her class. Spoiled by the novels of Rousseau, she refuses to be married unless it is for passion. Her stubborn devotion to her romantic principles bears the sweetest fruit when William Wordsworth, a young English poet, enters her life. She will be his mistress, his muse, his obsession. But theirs is a love that will test Annette in unexpected ways, bringing great joy and gravest peril in a dark time of chaos, upheaval, and death. Set amid the terror and excitement of the French Revolution, Annette Vallon is an enthralling and evocative tale that captures the courageous spirit of a remarkable woman who, for too long, has been relegated to the shadows of history.
