One lucky winner to receive an eBook copy of Landfall by Joseph Jablonski!  About the Book: (Amazon) Forty years ago, a young woman was murdered aboard an American freighter. Now, her children are grown and they want answers. Jake Thomas is the only one who can tell them what really happened. But after a lifetime at sea, Jake has finally settled into a new marriage and a comfortable retirement. He’s afraid that digging up the secrets he’s kept buried will undo everything and lead him to a truth he doesn’t want to face. In this riveting story-within-a-story, Jake’s peaceful routine in Portland, Oregon, stands in stark contrast to his early days as a merchant seaman in Subic Bay, when he set off on a journey to discover his dark side. A journey that hasn’t yet ended. Like Joseph Conrad, Joseph Jablonski has created a story set at sea that is as much a careful observation of human nature and a powerful condemnation of war as it is a fascinating sea story.

Jassy de Jong, author of Drowning, has provided a guest post for readers. You can read it below: I confess... I love Valentine’s Day. Some call it over-commercialized. I say that’s just as well. Thank goodness for all those entrepreneurs out there, designing cards with hearts and glitter, and making teddy bears on sticks and ruby pendants and chocolates with red wrappers, and growing long stemmed roses. I mean, what would we give as gifts otherwise? Easter eggs? Pumpkins? Some call it schmaltzy. Well, what do you expect? It’s a day celebrating love. Soppy, doting, romantic, couply love. It’s all about hand holding, intertwined fingers, long, deep gazes into each other’s eyes. It’s about saying, “You’re so amazing,” and getting the answer, “No, you’re so amazing, and then saying, “I’m so glad I met you,” and hearing, “No, I’m so glad I met  you . Here, have some more champagne.” I googled the origins of Valentine’s Day... I had a confused idea it was something to d...

“The word love is open to interpretation. And to abuse” (de Jong 162).  This one sentence so perfectly sums up the entirety of Jassy de Jong’s new romantic drama, Drowning .  With a great romantic storyline about a strong woman who allows herself to be saved from abuse, relatable characters, and an intense discussion about abuse, Drowning by Jassy de Jong makes for a good read.  However, the erotic nature takes away from the plot and distracts the reader at times, putting other romance novels above it on my list of suggested reading books. I should have realized the content of the novel given that it is labeled as “erotica” along with romance and drama, but I did not know what that meant and didn’t take the time to look it up.  Now I know.  So I am warning all future readers – be prepared to read that type of content or you probably won’t want to read it.  However, the plot almost makes up for the sexual – and masturbation – scenes and it can be a...
