Sneak Peek: Hym and Hur by Phillip Frey

HYM & HURToday we have a sneak peek of author Philip Frey’s fantasy-comedy Hym and Hur:

Hym and Hur are a young couple who never age and have been in love for more than a century. They also possess magical abilities, two of which are either to play pranks on humankind or to perform good deeds. Enacting both at once is now what gets them into trouble, especially since it’s the unruly character of Death they must deal with to bring their plans to fruition.

The prank Hym and Hur have come up with must first be agreed upon by Death, who happens to be a rambunctious, difficult character. Once agreed upon, the prank is set in motion. Hym and Hur soon discover Death had tricked them into a contract with dire consequences for all of us.

Hym and Hur is available on Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, Smashwords, iTunes and Kobo Books. Continue reading “Sneak Peek: Hym and Hur by Phillip Frey”

Willow Pond by Carol Tibaldi

The Roaring Twenties crumble into the Great Depression. Bootlegging is flourishing. Virginia Kingsley, New York’s most successful speakeasy owner, is queen of that castle.

Rudy Strauss wants to help with her business. Virginia, wisely suspicious, refuses. He shifts his trademark toothpicks to the other side of his mouth and asks about her niece, Laura, and Laura’s nineteen-month-old son, Todd. Virginia warns him off, but Rudy is intrigued.

Laura is movie star beautiful but it is her ex-husband, Phillip, who is an actor. Laura, a writer, is devastated when Todd’s nanny calls, hysterical, saying Laura’s son has been kidnapped.

Willow Pond is available at Amazon in print or Kindle editions and at Barnes and Noble. You can learn more about Carol and her writing at her website and her blog. You can also find her on Facebook and follow her on Twitter.
