Now things are just getting out of hand with my poor unnamed piggie. Or too many named piggie, not sure which. Last night I had just turned the lights off and was about to drift to sleep, when hubby burst into the bedroom holding the little fella. He declared his new name was Tweek. I had to admit the little piggie looked like a Tweek with his eyes wide, head twitching left and right, up and down, checking out the entire room. The problem is hubby keeps coming up with pretty darn good names, so I find it hard to argue with him. So far we have Milton, Tweek, and Peanut. I have no answers right now.
Push Back Choson
by Richard Brown
Genre: Fantasy | War | Science Fiction
FREE for a limited time
What if President Truman had withdrawn American forces from the Korean peninsula in 1950, rather than holding fast in a fight that cost more than 30,000 American lives? How would the United States’ position in Asia be affected today?
Push Back Choson offers one possible answer. In this alternate history, President Truman elects to withdraw American troops from Korea in order to avoid a new world war. The unfolding story is witnessed through the lives of an American Foreign Service officer, Tom Crandall, and a young South Korean woman, Soon Hi Chung who finds herself a displaced person in Japan trying to come to grips with the communist victory that has forced her from her homeland and torn her family apart.
Stung by the loss of Korea, political pressure builds in America to push back against the communist aggression in Asia and to retake land that was lost.

Broken Heart Syndrome
by Susie Tate
Genre: Romance | Medical
FREE for a limited time
Shy, reclusive Frankie and her best friend Lou obsess over Thomas G. Longley, as they reverently refer to him, for their entire first two years of medical school. So when he publicly humiliates her at the student bar she is devastated.
Ten years later, Frankie has to work in the testosterone driven environment of Cardiology before she can start her palliative care training and, to her dismay, Tom is her boss.
Thankfully the subject of her long-term crush doesn’t seem to remember her and, given her ability to blend into the background, she’s not really surprised. What does surprise her is how cruel he is. Sure he squished her self esteem like a bug at Uni, but the Tom she spent many a pointless lunch break or library session covertly watching seemed easy going and quick to smile; not an uptight, overly critical bully.
Between passing out in theatre and being covered head to foot in the bloody vomit of ‘Scary Glenda’ (A&E’s most frequent, frequent flyer), she can’t wait to get through the six months.
Although she’s too timid to tell Tom to jog on when she is his only target, when it’s her patients that he starts trampling she decides to grow a backbone, and Tom begins to see that she is not the cold, aloof woman he once thought.
Unfortunately his past behaviour is not Tom’s only obstacle to gaining Frankie’s trust. You see, Frankie knows all about being pushed around. She’s dealt with enough verbal and even physical abuse before to last a lifetime, and she’s not going to be fooled into thinking that this ruthless alpha male has turned over a new leaf.
Luckily for Frankie, Tom is used to getting what he wants. He’s determined to make her see herself clearly for the first time in her life and he’s just arrogant enough to believe that he can break through her defences.
But Frankie has secrets, and a past that is not ready to let her go quite yet…
This book is a full-length contemporary romance / romantic comedy with its own HEA and no cliffhanger.
