TWO BEAUTIFUL WOMEN WHO REFUSE TO GIVE IN.
‘Every woman likes to know she is appeciated. It’s a fact.
But at what cost?
During her husband’s college reunion, a young woman has the ambiguous pleasure of hearing delightful and sincere compliments to her beauty and elegance.
What surprised her was the person delivering the compliments: a call girl who impersonates her.
What is real and what is a creation of a confused mind?
How long can one play with fire without getting burnt?’
The Portable Laura Roberts by Laura Roberts
Laura Roberts was born in 1978 and immediately began writing the story of her life, after staring up at a spinning mobile above her crib for a sufficient period of time and thinking, “I could do better than that.” Though the intervening years have seen her scribbling in notebooks, Harriet the Spy-style, as well as concocting rude gossip rags about her friends and family (hello, “Gossip World!”), she first debuted her special brand of insanity in a university-level screenwriting class, where her final project was a Hal Hartley-inspired fanfic tribute to David Duchovny whose climax saw the protagonist wielding two menacing halves of Immanuel Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason in a boxing match against Duchovny’s real-life wife, Téa Leoni. She received an A from her professor, as well as the astute comment, “You got away with a lot.”
She has been getting away with a lot more ever since, including crime fiction, erotica, sex columns, an honors degree in Creative Writing and English Literature, thinly veiled tracts against her former home base in Austin, Texas, and a ninja versus pirates cavalcade.
Laura is the author of NINJAS OF THE 512, aka the best novel you’ll ever read about pirates, ninjas and evil politicians in Austin, Texas. Her second novel, NAKED MONTREAL, about her time as a sex columnist in the Sin City of the North, is available in serial format. She is also pondering a ninja follow-up that features ninjas versus robots. In her copious spare time, Laura curates the cheeky literary magazine Black Heart, which features indie authors’ poetry and prose on a daily basis, and lives in an Apocalypse-proof bunker in SoCal with her artist husband and their literary kitty, Nedward Carlos Nedwards.
THE PORTABLE LAURA ROBERTS is Laura’s most egotistical anthology to date, but she hopes her friends and fans will be amused by this diversion while they await the completion of her next novel.

The Story of Michael by Damien Dsoul
The story kicks off from where the last book ‘The Story of Caya’, ended.
Michael Paymer, a college grad residing in upstate New York, gets a surprise visit from two State Department officers who inform him about his missing girlfriend Catherine Morgan, and her parents while vacationing in Nigeria. Michael realizes she’d been kidnapped and takes it upon himself to do something about it.
He contacts a private investigator in New York City, Thaddeus Black, who gives him some insight how to go about finding his girlfriend. Michael takes off for Nigeria, stays at the same hotel Catherine and her folks had stayed over, but soon falls prey to the same militants who’d kidnapped them. He as well meets the man responsible for funding the militants’ activity called Ali.
Michael is taken to a white slavery camp and initiated into the life of becoming a typical white-boi slave, just like other white men in the camp too have being initiated. His only fear now is if he’ll ever return to the former life he always knew.

Jack’s best friend, Zachary Taylor, is roused out of bed in the middle of the night at his apartment in Paris and taken away at gunpoint, but not before he sends Jack a safety deposit key with a note saying he’s in trouble. If only he had given a clue regarding the location of the box, its contents, or what the hell is going on. Jack tries to call, but Zach’s cell phone goes straight to voicemail.
Clearly, something sinister is afoot in the City of Lights.
Jack heads for Paris to investigate, and in no time he’s accosted by the bad guys. But Jack Lazar isn’t the sort to back down, so he sets up shop in Zach’s Paris flat on a mission to solve the mystery and find his friend.
Sexy, French Flight Attendants Are Nothing But Trouble
Enter Michele – one of Zach’s many girlfriends in Paris. She’s upset to discover Zach is missing, but her idea of being consoled is to shed her clothes, plant herself in Jack’s arms, and mercilessly tantalize him. She’s ostensibly off-limits, of course, which wedges Jack between his growing obsession with her and his allegiance to Zach. It’s a sure prescription for disaster…and some really hot sex.
Uh-Oh. Things Just Got More Complicated
With a little ingenuity, Jack locates and opens the safety deposit box, but the only thing in there is an old bottle of Cognac. Still, it doesn’t take long before people are chasing after it, and they’re willing to kill for it, too.

To make matters worse, Jack was just blackmailed into leaving his lucrative job by one of the firm’s senior partners, and now he discovers the event is somehow connected to the DEA’s case. How is that even possible? But the DEA won’t tell Jack anything, so he sets off on his own mission to solve the mystery, and every step digs him deeper into trouble.
Sexy Government Agents Always Make Things More Complicated
Sarina is the stunning, exotic agent Jack rescued, and she gets a little out of hand when it comes to sex. So Jack is immediately hooked as any red-blooded male would be, and it’s probably why he pushes so hard for them to join forces.
