Here is a short sample from the book:
Sunset Point
From corners green,
desert dunes,
mountain castle caves,
the deepest of the eastern slums
and of the arctic waves.
Of histories unravelled
and memories forgot,
we of every race and creed,
prosperity or not.
On sunset point of paradise
with sand between our toes;
the magic of this sun-downed day
only these few will ever know.
It’s the deepest, boldest orange-red
that sinks into the blue
for the final, epic sunlight blink
before the purple evening hue.

Perfect Need – Seven Tales of Love and Passion by Barbara L.B. Storey
Close your eyes.
Fall in love.
Stay there.
~ Rumi
You never know who you’ll fall in love with, or why, or whether it’s a good idea – ask Rowan in A Star, A Stone. A sudden rainstorm – Stormy Weather – or even an exercise class – The Queen of Heaven – can be the spark that creates abandon and exhilarating passion between two lovers. In Dolce, a full-course Italian meal prepared with love whets . . . other appetites.
The stories in Perfect Need explore what love and passion can become, how they can affect two people for a moment, or for a lifetime; when they tumble into a love they never expected; when they decide it’s worth the risk to stay . . . or not.
The 360 Degree Heart by Maja Dezulovic
A lighthearted but enlightening love story told through poetry and dialogues. If you’ve ever been in love, you will find something to relate to in the profound meanings which lie beneath the text.
The story is based on 360 degrees or a full circle. Love comes, love progresses, the fire burns out, love dies, new love begins and so the cycle begins again. It is an inevitable but enriching part of life. Relive the enchantment and find yourself encapsulated by the rhythm of each verse.
Forbidden Thoughts: A Book of Erotic Shorts and Poetry by A.I Robertson
This book is filled with steamy erotic stories and poetry that explore a common thread; dominance, and subjugation.
Sometimes the thread is a subtle one as in the short story ‘Game of Hearts’. Where a wood-be suitor confronts his queen and lays his life on the line in hopes of winning her affection. A sweet story with characters you may have run across before. Or in the cuckolding short story ‘Not what I was expecting’ that deals with an unfaithful man who, returning home, discovers his wife has been carrying on her own affair for some time. How he deals with their newfound roles and the unique twist that lies therein definitely fits the thread.
Then again, sometimes it’s more apparent and direct as in the poem ‘Stalker’ that details the inner workings of a mild-mannered man’s psyche as he plans to dominate the striking young woman he sees at the coffee shop. Or in the vignette ‘Anticipation’ where the lead character must undergo a regiment of psychological and emotional trials as an initiate of an inner circle of demanding and frustratingly teasing mistresses.
All of these stories and poems fit together, woven just so, to create a patchwork quilt of erotic power plays and domination. Forbidden thoughts is an anthology and contain the following stories and poems:
– Stalker
– A Game of Hearts
– Taking Him, Home
– Stalker
– Not What I Was Expecting
– Sounds
– Anticipation Heart Robber (Lifestyle by Design Book 2) by Miranda P. Charles @MirandaPCharles
Jessa Allen knew she was plain and average. Yes, she was brainy and successful in her career as a senior writer for the popular Lifestyle by Design magazine, but she wasn’t a raving beauty who easily attracted hunky, gorgeous men like Rob Granger even if her well-meaning friends wanted her to believe she was. So when Rob asked her out, she was shocked. A seriously handsome man who had magnetism she couldn’t seem to escape wanted her. That wasn’t something that happened everyday.
Rob Granger was instantly attracted to Jessa Allen. She wasn’t the usual type he went for but there was something alluring about her that drew him like a moth to a flame. But he was a self-confessed playboy who had absolutely no plans to be tied down by any woman. He valued his freedom, first and foremost and his expanding business was the only thing he was committed to. But he was intent on satisfying his intense desire for Jessa.
They both didn’t want to fight their physical attraction for each other. But Jessa found herself falling for the man who could not promise her tomorrow. And Rob was set on only having a short fling with Jessa especially when they lived in different states – he in Melbourne and she in Sydney.
Could Jessa trust herself not to fall apart when the time came to let Rob go? And could Rob ever find freedom in what he considered as a prison to be avoided at all cost?
The Shadow Of Leticia by Jean P.E. Brutus
If I Could, with each word, create a Da Vinci Style picture of her. I’m sure my readers would become her lovers, even though my poor heart cries not only of jealousy but also of glory for sharing the essence of that beautiful creature made by God: my guardian angel.Leticia was the base of my entire life. Nothing more beautiful can happen to a human being than finding his other half. She was for me “illusion, love, peace, my strength and my weakness, my life”- a castle of passion and glory built during six years of going out together and sever years of marriage. In every space of it, we hung a secret, a souvenir, a word that the next day we renewed with love. But the devil in the dark let fall on it his fury, and like lightning, the morning of June 5 fell suddenly……
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.
