“Playwright Lieberman explores themes of partying and sexual awakening in modern New York City in this risqué this ” —BookLife Reviews

 

“This arousing novel celebrates feminine sexuality through one of the most original adventures of self-discovery written. The primary character – Dana – is surviving her first romantic breakup and the manner in which she not only survives but prospers and grows makes for one of the strongest Chick Lit novels to surface in quite a while. ” —Grady Harp, Amazon Top 100 Reviewer

“Because, if you are going to tell the truth, or something of value, you have to be willing to ruffle feathers, and rock boats, even if that means being misunderstood, and Jennifer Lieberman starts off her book with surfing waves …” —Scribble’s Worth Book Reviews

Press Release: The Prodigal’s Son: Crackhead to Jesus Finds Success

The Prodigal’s Son: Crackhead to Jesus Freak Book 1: Addiction Recovery Support Series

 

 

The realities of addiction by critically acclaimed author, S.E. Tschritter.

 

NOW ON PRE-SALE WITH A RELEASE IN JANUARY 2026

 

 

 

At 1:30 a.m. Samantha Evans received the phone call every spouse dreads. “Mrs. Evans, this is a sergeant with the police department. There’s been an accident.” Six hours later, she received another call. “Mrs. Evans, this is a nurse at the hospital. We found something on the cat scan.”

 

 

Instead of preaching that Sunday, Pastor Clint Evans went to jail with a BAC of .24, a cancer diagnosis, and a felony charge of fleeing police. The Prodigal’s Son: Crackhead to Jesus Freak chronicles a Christian’s lifelong battle against demons, addictions, and unworthiness. This story portrays a God who steals the show with a backlash of grace toward a man whom others branded “unredeemable.”

The Prodigal’s Son flings church doors open wide to the world’s misfits and challenges pew-squater saints to stop measuring their godly perfection against the dirty, homeless and addicted. From gutter to pulpit to ditch to grace to grave, The Prodigal’s Son speaks volumes of God’s furious love for the world’s castoffs.

This is a story of a pastor arrested for drunk driving. The effects of alcoholism on families are staggering. “My wife hid her addiction from me,” “My husband hid his alcoholism.” Millions of men and women are affected by drug addiction. Do you crave hope amidst an addictionbattle? Are you looking for recovery support? If you found out your husband’s an addict, or your wife’s an alcoholic and you’re grieving your spouse’s addiction, look no further than The Prodigal’s Son: Crackhead to Jesus Freak. Within these pages, you’ll find hope. You’ll close the cover knowing you are not alone. Whether you’ve judged addicts, or you’re the addict who’s been judged, this book is a page-turning, must-read.

Featuring our medal winners and finalists in each of their categories.

The Global Awards aim to discover new talent as well as recognize fine examples of self-published books.

In this modern age of self-publishing, books need to be appraised not only by their content and writing style, but also by the way they present and market themselves to the prospective buyer, whether that is in the good ratings it has on important stores like Amazon, its book cover and description, or the number of reviews it has collected. They must also appeal to new readers so part of the evaluation included a survey asking avid readers to select the top 5 books they enjoyed the most.

Press Release: Spectacularly Mediocre Maisey by Kalee Boisvert

Spectacularly Mediocre Maisey

 

Meet Maisey, the newest children book sensation by critically acclaimed author and Financial Expert Kalee Boisvert 

 

The book is available worldwide in print format

 

Maisey isn’t the best at… well, anything.
Not at cartwheels.
Not at singing.
Not even at tying her shoes quickly.

But what Maisey is great at?
Trying.
Laughing.
And diving into life with her whole, wonderfully wiggly self.

So when her school’s talent show sign-up sheet goes up, Maisey writes her name without a second thought. She has no plan—just the feeling that it could be fun. While everyone else seems to have their “thing,” Maisey’s attempts at piano, karate, and gymnastics turn into hilarious disasters. And when her friend Evie has a stage-fright stumble, Maisey does what she does best: she shows up with heart.

With a burst of creativity (and a pile of pool noodles, cardboard, and tape), Maisey builds something no one sees coming—a performance that isn’t about being the best at all, but about bringing everyone together.

A joyful, laugh-out-loud celebration of bravery, creativity, and trying new things just because they make you happy, Spectacularly Mediocre Maisey reminds kids that you don’t have to shine the brightest to light up a room. You just have to be you.

Perfect for readers who love:
• School talent show stories
• Celebrating quirky creativity
• Characters with big hearts and even bigger imaginations
• Books about confidence, courage, and being yourself

Spectacularly mediocre? Maybe.
Spectacularly Maisey? Absolutely.

Meet Bernice-the busiest bee in the entire meadow. With her tiny bucket hat, neatly packed pollen pouch, and a to-do list longer than a dragonfly’s tail, Bernice is always buzzing from one task to the next.

While the other bees take breaks and enjoy the sunshine, Bernice prides herself on never wasting a wingbeat. That is, until the Queen Bee steps in with an unexpected royal decree:

Mandatory vacation-three whole days!

 

 

At first, Bernice doesn’t know what to do without her checklist. But as the meadow slows her down, she begins to notice the world she’s been flying past-the dancing daisies, the giggling children, the joy of simply being a bee.

 

Through playful language and heartwarming humor, Bernice, the Busiest of Bees reminds readers of all ages that even the hardest workers need time to rest, breathe, and rediscover the wonder around them.

Perfect for children who love nature-and grown-ups who forget to use their vacation days.

As Russian military helicopters head across the American border to a remote Alaskan island Rake Ozenna is determined to protect his people and his land.

On the Norwegian-Russian border, Rake Ozenna finds a human ear sewn into the carcass of a reindeer. It’s not a warning, but an invitation to a war. Then it turns personal.

A firefight on the Russian-American border leads Rake Ozenna to evidence of a weapon that would cripple civilization as we know it.

On frozen battle grounds, Rake Ozenna takes on a lethal crime empire in a country intent on changing its past.

 

 

 

Who is Rake Ozenna

Rake Ozenna is an orphan raised in a tiny, remote Alaskan island community on the border with Russia. He is an officer in the Alaska National Guard, often seconded to special force operations. His roots give him a perspective and survival instincts few outsiders possess. His feelings are tightly contained. He is observant, controlled, patient and deeply loyal.

He instinctively understands cold, environment, distance, silence, and he has an ability to read people as a hunter reads his prey. That makes him dangerous to enemies and to any who believe power cannot be challenged. There is also a formidable woman whom he cannot get out of his mind.

Author Versus AI

A project of global proportions to change the book industry forever

Critically acclaimed author and editor Alison McBain took on the influence of AI in the book industry by meeting the technology head-on!!!

Artificial intelligence (AI), in its broadest sense, is a field of research in computer science that develops and studies methods and software that enable machines to perceive their environment and use learning to maximize their chances of achieving defined goals. Currently, there are a number of programs using AI software to augment or replace human creativity.

**Alison McBain’s mission is to prove that writing can be done quickly, efficiently, and better with human instinct, emotion, and passion**

The New Empire – the newest book from Alison

Fire. Blood. His brother’s hand smashing his face to the ground. These are Jiangxi’s final memories of Beijing from 1751. In the alternate history novel The New Empire, a bloody coup imprisons the emperor’s youngest son in the bowels of a cargo ship, headed to a much different America than we’ve read about in history books. When Jiangxi arrives in the distant city of Wacharon, a trading hub for a powerful tribal confederacy, he is sold upon his arrival. As he begins to learn about the influential man who bought him, he’s caught between the two worlds of his past and present, forced to choose between following the law of the land or striking out on his own to find a new and bold path to freedom. But Jiangxi’s journey of self-discovery has a steep price. The choices he makes will change not only the course of his own life, but also the future of the two most powerful nations in the world.

PRESS RELEASE: FORSAKEN SOULS: CALLUM WALKER SERIES BOOK FOUR BY J.M. SHAW RELEASES

Forsaken Souls: Book Four of the Callum Walker series

The critically acclaimed supernatural series continues by J.M. Shaw

The book is available worldwide in print and digital formats

 Driven south by their brethren in the Northern Kingdom, the Der’geron have bided their time for nearly two centuries, nursing hatred and plotting vengeance since their defeat in the great elven war. As a new conflict draws ever closer, Queen Jobella struggles to assert her authority over her northern domain—battling civil unrest, sabotage, and misinformation while attempting to mend fractured alliances.

Meanwhile, Callum and Jax set out on a perilous journey to repair the veil separating the magical realm from the human world. Unbeknownst to them, their path leads directly into the heart of danger, where they are captured by the Der’geron. Imprisoned in the hellish grotto beneath the subterranean city of Elfarian, Callum and Jax are forced to work or die at their enemy’s command.

 However, danger turns to horror when Callum learns of the Der’geron King’s plans for the Northern Kingdom and the rest of the realm. What is to come will be a reckoning, not a war. It will be a battle for the ages, where both lives and souls are at stake, and death is not the worst outcome.

 Imperilled by violence, assailed by evil energy, and tempted by dark magic, Callum must stand against the rising darkness, but first, he needs to find the strength to face his buried anguish, even at the risk of fracturing what remains of his sanity. Yet, there is hope for a happy ending, if only Callum can summon the courage to accept it.

“I absolutely loved the 3rd book on the Callum Walker series. I had a hard time putting it down. I really want to know what happens next for Callum, Jax and some of the other characters. I love how the author creates and develops her stories. I can’t wait until the 4th book comes out ”_Guardian, Amazon Reviewer
