<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">It was supposed to be a routine prospecting mission, but in an asteroid belt nothing is routine. </span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">With 43 billion souls crammed together on Mother Earth and using up natural resources at an unsustainable rate, the essential minerals that support human civilization are in desperately low supply. Tesserene, the mineral that makes starflight travel possible, is especially critical. Without it, humans are effectively imprisoned in their home system. </span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">When prospecting ship Shamu is almost destroyed in a distant asteroid belt, Swede Johansen and rest of the crew of five are left with three days of air, little water, a smashed starflight drive, and no hope of rescue. It will take every ounce of ingenuity and stubborn pigheadedness they possess to find a way to survive. </span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">In the shadows of a small moon, an amazing discovery leads to first contact.

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">With 38 billion people choking Planet Earth, civilization is near a breaking point. Mankind's only hope for long-term survival is to expand to the stars; but until then, Earth must mine the solar system for iron, copper, and the many other raw materials needed in daily life.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Enter James McKie, a 23-year-old with a degree in Areology (Martian geology), on his way to his first job in space. Starry-eyed, he looks forward to making his mark on the Red Planet. But first he has to survive the trip there. A mysterious fire aboard his ship leads to a crisis on the giant space elevator high above Mars. When he arrives, he still has to survive the perils of Mars itself: rocks slides and planet-wide dust storms that leave unwary travelers blind in red-out conditions, unable to find their way home before their oxygen runs out. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">In the end, there's an incredible discovery waiting to be made: the key to terraforming the planet for human habitation--if it doesn't kill everyone first.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">From a Kindle promo website comes this definition of urban fantasy:</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #666666; color: #fff2cc;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>magical elements set within the real world.</b></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #666666; color: #fff2cc;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #666666; color: #fff2cc;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Many
UFs are very dark, grim, serious. As none of my novels contain these
elements, it seemed appropriate to add the word "lite" to my site. Not
"light" as in bright and shiny and enlightening, "lite" as in beer,
entertaining.</span></div>

<b>Valentine Vampire</b> is a short ebook with two stories about Dominic, a character in the Turning Vampire series. If you like a little history with a vampire romance, Valentine Vampire is set in Chicago on the night of the St. Valentine’s Day massacre in 1929 which happened two blocks from my grandmother’s house and yes, she heard the machine guns. Back then, nobody went running out into the street to investigate gunfire.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Because I have all this free time to procrastinate -</span></div>
<div style="color: yellow;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Writing has led me to a new hobby. I have no photo skills, but fortunately modern cameras do all the hard stuff. This gives me a chance to snap locations of scenes in my books. Some of my photos get incorporated into the book covers. Now some of my amateur shots are at <a href="http://mudflatbks.blogspot.com/">http://mudflatbks.blogspot.com</a>. </span></div>

<div style="color: yellow;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Why am I procrastinating? Well, I just finished the third book for my Turning Vampire series for Dark Quest and must now get busy on the fourth book in the Sunspinner series. And maybe a seventh book for the Mudflat Magic series, but probably not until 2014. Currently, I have a novel and two short story collections FREE at several sites. You can find the link to your specific ereader on my website at <a href="http://phoebematthews.com/">http://phoebematthews.com</a>, The free novel is Tyrant Trouble.</span></div>

If I were a young songwriter today, I would definitely be looking for another way to earn a living. The same would go for the young screenwriter or novelist. And what about the guy who only had one or two hit records 10 or 50 years ago? What happens to this guy who depends on that income to support his family if people are stealing those songs now? Tough luck, right? This is the thread of failure in front of all artists today. Art exclusively as a hobby -- that's the "new model" it seems. And to all you bloggers who have prophesized that this new way is going to somehow provide sustainable careers? Your prophecies did not and will never come true. If there is the occasional sparkle of success, it usually turns out to be nothing more than a novelty, not a new business model. We need to restore intellectual property to its rightful owners and reconstruct the business that has lost thousands and thousands of jobs plus billions of dollars in revenue."</i></span></span><br />

Shanghai Shindu lives a carefree life in the tropics as a shape-shifting shark, hunting the land and the sea. He shows up with the rest of his pack of shape-shifting sharks at the wedding party for his brother. Shanghai never expects to meet his mate at a party full of werewolves and vampires, and is even more shocked to find he is human.</div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Cain Castle is working undercover as a handyman on the private island, but he is a psychic and a healer helping to keep an eye on the wedding guests. It’s a dangerous job, but there is also the crazy, overwhelming attraction to Shanghai, who doesn’t even acknowledge he exists until the day Shanghai stops a vampire from having him as lunch. Suddenly Cain is swept up in a world full of dark pleasures and sinful delights.</div>

</p>
It's time to end the year 2011, whether we are ready or not--and I am ready!!
</p>
I am finding myself looking back over the year and evaluating what I did well and what didn't work. I think 2011 kicked my butt and then turned around and did it again. My husband lost his eye this year and my babygirl underwent a her first surgery. My priorities changed and I began to deal with what was most important to me--family. I stopped writing for the first half of the year and then took it up again in Summer and Fall and I think my word count for the year ended up being around 80,000 words. Not bad for putting my writing on a back burner. It's been quite a ride. Now I can't wait for this year to end so I can take the reins back to my life and get this horse and pony show started. lol
</p>
In 2012 I already have two releases scheduled and plans to use my time more wisely. I have a few friends that have already written down a list of the books they plan to write. Me? I'm not so organized, but I will be writing.
</p>
What are your plans for the New Year?
</p>
Lots of love to you all and I hope all your hopes and dreams come true for 2012! Happy New Years!
</p>

Tonight I plan to break out the bubbly and celebrate until I can't party anymore and then I'll be sleeping it off tomorrow just like this guy. lol Enjoy your New Year's y'all!

<i>Alex is firmly on the naughty list, and she wants Santa to join her.</i></div>
<br />
Alex thought she was going to a job. Instead she ends up marrying the
heir to the title of Santa Claus. The vows have been said and cannot be
taken back, even if Alex isn't the ideal bride Kris was hoping for to
re-energize the powers of the House of Kringle. But Alex is about to
teach him that being a little naughty -- or a lot -- can go a long way.<br />

If you love hawt men dressed in drag and werewolves who stalk the streets at night looking for their prey, then this is the book for you. <br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tTQE4-WER78/TU1lrIW0QbI/AAAAAAAAAjg/uohjy0A1z9M/s1600/Chains%2Bof%2BLove%2B200x300.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tTQE4-WER78/TU1lrIW0QbI/AAAAAAAAAjg/uohjy0A1z9M/s320/Chains%2Bof%2BLove%2B200x300.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5570220105779134898" /></a><br /><br />Chains of Love<br />by Mercedes Black<br />Published by Hot Tropica books<br />Price $5.99<br /><br />Blurb:<br /><br />Detective Colt Bacard is fighting against time to find a serial killer in Fort Lauderdale, and he is not ready to believe the superstitious nonsense that everyone else is spouting off. There's no such thing as vampires and there has got to be a simple explanation to the trademark holes in each of the victim’s neck. <br /><br />He is willing to go deep undercover to find the serial killer. Even if that means he has to wear lipstick and high heels to do it. <br /><br />Dressing as a female to help lure out the killer, he finds an honest to God werewolf whom he can't help but feel an attraction to. <br /><br />Griffin knows better than to interfere when a human stumbles into his world, but the sexy detective has no idea of the danger he is in, or what his poking around and questions may unearth. When Colt threatens to arrest the leader of the pack of renegade vampire, Griffin is left with little choice except to take the man into protective custody. Colt doesn't go willingly, but it isn't long before his captive heart submits to his new master. Will their love be enough to face life threatening danger together? <br /><br />Excerpt:<br />Chains of Love<br />by Mercedes Black<br /><br />The scent filling the bathroom turned him on. Tonight he would become as close to a girl as he could without losing his manhood. He cupped his dick in his hands, smoothing around the outside, stroking it until it became harder and stiffer. He needed to come now, so he would not get a hard on while he was with a guy. White cum spurted from the tip of his cock and he leaned against the tile wall letting the hot water fall over his body, washing away any of the soap residue and the evidence of his cum.<br /><br />He felt some of the tension leave his body, but knew instinctively it wasn’t going to be enough. He dried himself off and exited the shower. He tried on the clothes, and put on the makeup, first the eye shadow and mascara along with a bit of rouge for his cheeks, and finally a black lipstick. He smacked his lips together admiring his work in the mirror. He looked good, but with the wig of short black gothic styled hair, he looked even better. <br /><br />He looked more like a girl, than most girls, soft and feminine. He practiced using another voice. It was a different tone and pitch than he usually used, mysteriously sexy. This was going to work. <br /><br />And then, he just stripped his clothes and jacked off some more. It was only six o’clock so he had plenty of time before the official auction. He put in a favorite gay porn movie, watching the guys fuck each other and he masturbated fast and furious. He came a lot, hoping this would help him keep from getting a hard on if he got with another guy tonight. He came until his dick was limp and ached from the workout he gave it. If that didn’t work, he wasn’t sure what would.<br /><br />He cleaned himself up once more, and then began dressing again. His thigh high nylons slipped on over each leg, and then he put his penis holder on and his sexy panties over the top. <br /><br />No one was going to be able to tell he was a man.<br /><br />He put the corset on, and slipped the 36C fake breasts in on each side. He looked down at his new breasts and grinned. This would have everyone bidding on him in this auction, every straight guy in the room. Then he carefully slipped into the low cut dress and put on the high heels. He looked back one last time at the mirror, admiring his handiwork. <br /><br />He may have to try doing this on his own free time in the near future and not when he was just looking for a killer. The idea of fucking a straight boy who thought he was a woman was hot. <br /><br />And nobody could tell him he didn’t look damn good as a woman. <br /><br />****<br /><br /><br />Now available at Smashwords, ARE, Bookstrand, and most major ebook retailors.<br />Buy here:<br /><br />http://www.allromanceebooks.com/product-chainsoflove-513101-142.htmlUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-58494609006037340.post-1201975545976283502011-01-18T07:45:00.000-08:002011-01-18T07:45:07.645-08:00One of the Most Outrageous Examples Of Piracy EverHere is an egregious example of a shameless copyright infringer advising others how to make money over the internet.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.marketingchat.info/index.html">General Chat - How Do We Make A Living ONLINE</a><br />
<br />
"Max" writes (and I quote under the Fair Use provisions of the law, for the purposes of education and commentary and reportage)<br />
<br />
<br />
<blockquote>I have been making a living online for around 10 years now. You are right, it's not easy! <br />
It takes a lot of time and patience. One thing I have noted over the years is that its important to build a database of 'members' or customers, and keep in touch with them, but only when you have something useful to say! <br />
<br />
I have used 'freebies' or 'giveaways' to entice people to join my services. This works well as <span style="color: #6600cc; font-weight: bold;">it cost's absolutely nothing to giveaway a free book (for example), </span>but you can guarantee that they will read your next email! <br />
<br />
Over the years I have managed to build a small 'stable' of steady online businesses (I am a strong believer in 'bread and butter' income, and not the 'fast buck' ideas... which rarely work anyway!) through shear hard work and countless hours. I love the web and it's possibilities, however, you must always keep in mind, that its those people with money, are generally the ones who get the exposure, since they throw big bucks at their online projects for marketing campaigns <br />
<br />
The answer to this, is to find a real niche, then put your all into it! <br />
<br />
Max </blockquote>Marketing Chat appears to be a "sponsor" of a book giveaway site, and since "Marketing Chat" links fold back to the freebie site, and to the home page and yahoogroup of the known and blatant copyright infringers most recently known as "BooksForNothing" I infer that Max is linked to the freebie master.<br />
<br />
In fact, they post<br />
<br />
<blockquote>Dear Members <br />
<br />
This should make you feel that membership is worthwhile! <br />
<br />
Here is 106 Free Business Books (<span style="font-weight: bold;">you have to join their free Yahoo group first</span>, but you will be amazed at the 1000's of books they give away, including other books like fiction, crafts, audio books etc!) <br />
<br />
This selection of biz books is quite extensive, and there is definitly something there for everyone! <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.marketingchat.info/freebies.html" rel="nofollow" target="_top">http://www.marketingchat.info/freebies.html</a><br />
<br />
Regards <br />
Max <br />
Admin </blockquote>YAHOO has refused to do a thing about this brazen, copyright infringing YAHOOGROUP for years. When I reported the group to YAHOO, yahoo banned me!<br />
<br />
You many well be amazed at the 100's of books they give away... but the fact is, most of these books are given away by persons who have no right whatsoever to give those books away, and they do so in knowing and blatant violation of the authors' and publishers' rights.<br />
<br />
GOOGLE, YAHOO, PAYPAL, FILESONIC all profit from this piracy, and all either drag their heels or do nothing to put a stop to this rampant, deliberate piracy, while Movie companies, Book Publishers, Software Manufacturers, Musicians, and others are ripped off.<br />
<br />
