Thomas Bell Announces New Release

My Dad Is A FreakAuthor Thomas Bell is pleased to announce the release of his debut memoir, My Dad Is a Freak.

This is a memoir detailing one man’s serendipitous journey from bachelorhood to parenthood. After his latest girlfriend becomes his wife, and his wife becomes pregnant, Tom Bell finds himself a first time father at nearly 50 years old. Over the years, he has shown only a passing interest in his nieces and nephews, and has never touched someone else’s poo. Now, with an eight month-old baby and two toddlers, he wracks his brain for any useful cross-over skills accumulated from a half-century of single life.

My Dad Is a Freak is the conclusion that each of his children will inevitably arrive at, in their own good time, despite his best efforts.

My Dad Is a Freak was published May 20, 2012 by A.f.F. & Sons. It is available in print and as an eBook through Amazon.com, Amazon UK, Barnes & Noble and Smashwords.

Kirkus Reviews says: “The intelligence of the writing suggests that Bell is aware of the uncouthness in focusing on “subject matter [that] is nauseatingly droll coming from anyone except yourself.”

Jennifer Zane Announces New Release

gnomelessAuthor Jennifer Zane is pleased to announce the release of her new contemporary romance novel, Gnomeless.

Veronica is a plumber about to take on the family business. One big, handsome problem stands in her way.

Jack is the boy she mooned over in high school. He broke her heart, skipped town and never came back. Until now. Jack finds he’s homeless and forced to be roommates with the one woman he could never resist.

Jack discovers his lust hasn’t cooled for Veronica, but neither has she forgiven him. A sex-toy party, a meddling boss, an escape artist snake, a stalker in a fluffy pink coat, a house fire, and bitter cold all force them to work through their baggage and unrequited lust while catching the stalker.

Gnomeless was released in June 2012. It is available for Kindle through Amazon.com, and Amazon UK.

D.V. Berkom Joins the Staff of Indies Unlimited

We are pleased to announce that D.V. Berkom will be joining the staff of Indies Unlimited as a contributing author. She wrote her first book (a parody about the joys of house work) at age seven. No word on whether that one is still in print.

D.V. grew up in the Midwest, received her BA in Political Science from the University of Minnesota, and promptly moved to Mexico to live on a sailboat.

Several years and at least a dozen moves later, she now lives outside of Seattle, Washington with her sweetheart Mark, an ex-chef-turned-contractor, and writes whenever she gets a chance. Learn more about DV Berkom at her website and her Author page on Amazon.com. You can also follow her on twitter.

Please give a warm Indies Unlimited welcome to D.V. Berkom.

[NOTE: D.V. is traveling right now sans laptop and will return at the end of the month. While she won’t see your well-wishes, maybe the good karma will aid her in her journey.]
