Sneak Peek: Villa Paradiso

Today we have a sneak peek from author Ted Atoka’s humorous novel: Villa Paradiso.

Four college grads, with ink still damp on their degrees, form an alliance with two mature women. The plan is to build a state-of-the-art life care retirement facility for the two silver-haired gals to call home. Working closely with the retirement facility’s residents poses challenges, including misplaced ED tablets, a shotgun named Bertha, and a famous womanizer called Ziggy. Toss in a one-armed CEO, Oklahoma’s weather, incompetent employees, a maintenance man without vocal cords, and an unscrupulous attorney, and the little group has their hilarious—and touching—work cut out for them.

Villa Paradiso is available from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Amazon UK, and other online booksellers.

Sneak Peek: Please, no eyes

Today we have a sneak peek from author JD Mader’s collection of literary fiction short stories: Please, no eyes.

Please, no eyes. is a collection of short stories written over the span of a decade. Many of them are set in San Francisco. They are glimpses into lives. Ugly, beautiful, and often both, these stories evoke deep empathy through deeper character development. All are steeped in Mader’s raw, gritty style. Music, mayhem, and sometimes love…they bloom in the strangest places. These are fictional stories, but they are really about all of us. Mader and his characters have at least one thing in common: they want only to live in fiction, as water flows through trembling hands.
