Here's the blurb...

Fresh off a divorce and armed with a label maker, lifestyle guru Miles Whitaker escapes to Rehoboth Beach to sip cocktails, reorganize his trauma, and find inner peace between color-coordinated throw pillows. Enter Hudson Knight: Hollywood’s most unfiltered trainwreck—sunburned, scandal-wrapped, and crashing the beach like it’s a red carpet afterparty.

One is a control freak with a Pinterest board for everything. The other thinks “self-care” means tequila in the shower. They shouldn’t work—but somehow, between beach walks, flaming exes, tabloid drama, and one truly deranged brunch—something real begins to unfold.

Toss in a meddling mother in a caftan, a media circus, and a career curveball no one saw coming, and suddenly this “relaxing” retreat turns into the plot twist of the summer.

The Rehoboth Retreat is a laugh-out-loud romantic comedy about unlikely chemistry, second chances, and what happens when love refuses to follow your carefully curated itinerary.

Here's the blurb...

Marcus Greenspan is a doctor working in the American Hospital in Paris in the winter of 1919. The First World War has just ended, and he is anxious to return home to Kentucky and to his fiancé, Sarah Gold.

Paris is alive with the freedom that comes with peace, and Marc is swept away by the wild social life of his adopted city. He begins simultaneous affairs with an older French woman, Aurélie Laprix, and a young German prisoner of war, Maximilian Berger.

Things become complicated when his best friend at the hospital, a British doctor named Paul Cordette, embarks on an affair with Max’s old roommate, Django Bernhardt, and then Marc finds out Sarah is on her way to Paris.

What happens to our round-robin troupe of lovers during this unprecedented moment of history -- and how they extricate themselves from their happy, self-made predicament -- is the story of ‘Aurélie & Max’.

Contrary by .egan is available now! Get your copy from the link in our profile, or read free on Kindle Unlimited!

An eclectic mix of twenty-one stories and a two-act play, the collection includes comedic tales as well as some dark dives into human psychology. The settings span America, Britain, and Greece, and the characters range from young/old, rich/poor, and straight/gay, with a contrary beagle making a star turn as does a ghost or two. The conclusion, Duet, is an intimate drama featuring a therapist and a woman who is dealing with the aftermath of a plane crash and ensuing disability. Stylistically diverse, the work spans literary and genre fiction.

“I have long considered Laury A. Egan a master of the short story. This collection sets that view in concrete. Bravo!”—T.D. Johnston, author of Reciprocity and Friday Afternoon and Other Stories

Contrary is a vivid portrayal of the human condition in its many varied forms. Through a series of short stories and one play, author Laury A. Egan provides empathetic, thought-provoking commentary on class, gender, sexuality, age, abuse, and disability. At the heart of each tale: difference, an Other-ing from the mainstream. By spotlighting the diversity of the Other, Contrary contradictorily leaves the reader with a feeling of togetherness and the hope for a brighter future.”—Jennica Dotson, author of “A Reaper’s Folly”

What happens when you just don’t want to say goodbye? Sometimes in life, you have to lose everything to find out what you actually need. ‘That Is What We Are’ is the sequel to Max Austin's raw and emotional bio-fictional memoir, 'How Can We Be Wrong?'

With breathtaking honesty, this book continues to capture the truth of the LBGTQIA+ experience set against the backdrop of changing hospital life and wider society. Something is eating away at Max but he can't quite put his finger on what it is. Why on earth can’t he just be happy for once? He’s guilty that his navy blue nurse's uniform feels more like a straitjacket every time he puts it on. But what next? And more to the point, will he dare to tell anyone how he feels? Many of his motley crew return to navigate the twists and turns of life. Our friends are joined by new people along the way to help them learn to be the best that they can be; no matter how much it hurts in the process.

Here's the blurb...

Born in 1749 in the mountains of Gevaudan, the last of a long lineage of witches, Eve is an almost ordinary peasant girl, except for the fact her birth name was Paul. Growing up in a land of magic and mystery with the love of her mother, she must then as an adult face the scorn of a society that does not accept her, nor any woman seeking independence. Accused of witchcraft, she finds refuge with the mysterious count Nicolas who has been terrorizing the villagers as the ‘Beast of Gevaudan’ for years, and whose love for her is laced with cruelty. But that is only the beginning for Eve, who soon finds herself propelled into eternity as she awakens as a vampire with unique abilities.

Courtesan, herbalist, feminist, author and public speaker, over a hundred years later Eve is an accomplished, independent, but lonely woman, who struggles to find her place even among others like herself, and has long given up her naïve romantic dreams. And when her friend Emily invites a handsome stranger named Stanley to join her transgender circle, little does she know that he was the Englishman who broke Eve’s heart and came to France to make things right. But as Stanley struggles to tell her the truth and prevent her from making a pact with a demon, a new antagonist who can insinuate himself into people’s minds appears, and Eve is not the only target.

In this second volume of the TransCrypted series, Stanley and Eve must find their way through a maze of illusions, but magic is always at work in dark fairy tales, and good or evil may not be as simple as angelic or demonic...

Get your copy of this amazing collection of true stories from the link in our profile now!

As the title of this book suggests, this book is filled with the thoughts, confessions, and secrets of the LGBTQ+ community.

Following the booming success of the confessionals segment on ‘Chester Pridecast’ podcast, where the hosts read out submissions the listeners send in, and offer advice and thoughts, the community was asked to send in their stories with the proviso that their entries be completely true.

Why, I hear you ask would anyone give honest secrets or confess their stories to a complete strange?

People often hold onto these stories and bury them away, let their thoughts and feelings go unheard. This has been an opportunity for those brave people to let go, and to share to the world anonymously.

Wes Diggory has written a few of the entries himself, and whilst editing the rest, he has been lucky enough to get to know these people and their stories. They share embarrassing/funny moments, heart ache, betrayal, advice, calling out to people, calling people out, lost loves, coming out and much more.

All of the author's royalties from this book will be donated directly to Chester Pride, (Charity number: 1161379) where a dedicated team of local volunteers work tirelessly all year, not only to organise an annual pride event, but also to support the local LGBTQ+ and wider community. This includes but is not limited to social projects, educational work, campaigning to protect LGBTQ+ legal rights and of course bringing a bad ass pride event to the city of Chester.
