free fall
By Khushi T. Saha
Big-shot attorney Aariv Abbas is every woman's dream: hunky as sin, successful, and that man who puts responsibility, and family duty first (the kind of man every South Asian hopes their son becomes when they grow up). Too bad he's such a grumpy asshole with a one-track mind. And thank God he's only in the market for an Indian wife.
Chrissy Smyth is young, brash, full of hopes, and a head-in-the-clouds dreamer, but a chance encounter with a grumpy lawyer has her realizing that romance isn't for everyone. And she doesn't need to waste her time with nonbelievers like him, no matter how hot or big his … biceps may be.
But when her life takes a major misstep and her family's business gets pulled into a serious Russian crime ring, what's a girl to do but look to the only attorney she knows for advice, Grumpenhunk and all?
And how's the good Indian son supposed to behave when his attraction for a woman who ticks none of the boxes on his life list becomes unmanageable?
A grumpy/sunshine, opposites attract, slight age gap, cultural differences, and ultra steamy romance that will make you laugh, cry, want to punch a pillow, and then do a happy dance.

the creeps: a tale of Halloween
By George Ebey
Four friends. One cursed pumpkin patch. And a night they won’t soon forget.
Peter, Frankie, Matt, and Dani are The Creeps, an exclusive club dedicated to the love of monsters and all things that go bump in the night. To them, Halloween is their favorite time of year, a time that practically demands they do something spooky.
Old Man Wilson’s farm is close to their neighborhood. Nothing grows there anymore. Nothing except for the pumpkin patch, which produces plenty of pumpkins each year. Pumpkins that the farm’s reclusive owner never harvests. So why not sneak onto the property and take a few? What’s the worst that can happen?
Little do they know that an ancient curse has befallen the farm, and by taking the pumpkins, they have unleashed a hidden danger that will not rest until it destroys them, their families, and their entire town. With nowhere to turn, the four realize it is up to them to face the threat and figure out how to stop it.
They will soon find out that it is one thing to be a fan of monsters, but quite another to go up against a real one. And as Halloween looms, they will discover just how creepy the season can be.
