Christmas In October October 3

The Substitute - James Hatch


The Substitute – Paranormal Comedy by Solstice Publishing: The novel is the first of a trilogy of comedies (The Substitute; Oh, Heavens, Miss Havana! and The Training Bra). The novel offers a hilarious romp through the final days of Miss Havana’s life, her trials in purgatory and her afterlife with Lucifer. Witty and spicy, it leaves readers in tears of laughter. Excerpts from all novels are posted at http://cookinwithmisshavana.blogspot.com/. Please stop by!

Miss Havana’s public persona was far from the truth because, in her capacity as substitute teacher, the small community where she lived knew her as the breathtakingly beautiful young woman who demanded every student learn, but in her private life, ostensibly caring for aging parents in Chicago, she raced through the lives of powerful men, leaving a wake of destruction…and a deep desire for revenge. Little did she realize her conflicted life would end in a chaotic death at an early age, and to eternal conflict with the devil. The surprise ending will leave the reader stunned and gasping for more.

All books by James L. Hatch can be purchased at amazon.com/author/jameshatch

I will be giving away an eBook of The Substitute

What happens when a man outlives his great-great-great grandchildren in the pursuit of a noble but desperate cause that costs him everything he ever loved?  This is the case with Turtan in Inspector of the Cross, a futuristic science-fiction adventure novel published by MuseItUp Publishing.  Turtan travels in suspended animation to distant worlds in order to find a weapon that might turn the tide against the Cen, vicious aliens who have brought humanity to the brink of ruin.  Nearly 4,000 years old, Inspector Turtan is the Cross’s oldest and greatest agent, and his quest leads to a stunning climax when he finally discovers a device that can save mankind from annihilation only to find that a dangerous and seductive woman stands in his way.

Confessions of a Teenage Hermaphrodite - Lianne Simon
 Endorsed by a leading researcher of Disorders of Sex Development, Confessions of a Teenage Hermaphrodite is an unusual coming-of-age story, an authentic portrayal of the issues faced by an intersex teen.

Jameson was born with a testis, an ovary, and a pixie face. What was between his legs left the doctors guessing at his sex. Assigned male, it soon became apparent that Jamie considered herself a girl. After some resistance, her parents allowed her to live as one. When she was nine, however, authorities discovered that the boy Jameson was being illegally home schooled. The family scrambled to find a doctor willing to help correct the child's birth certificate, but meanwhile Jameson had to return to living as a boy.

All it would take to make Jameson a boy would be minor surgery and a few years on testosterone. Well that's what his parents always say, but he sees an elfin princess in the mirror. To become the man everyone expects, Jameson must put behind him the hopes and dreams of a little girl.

At sixteen, the four-foot-eleven soprano leaves home for a boys' dorm at college. The elfin princess can live in the books Jameson reads and nobody has to find out he isn't like other boys. But then a medical student tells Jamie he should have been raised female. Suppressed childhood memories stir and Jamie begins a perilous journey to adulthood. The elfin princess can thrive, but will she risk losing her family and her education for a boy who may desert her or a toddler she may never be allowed to adopt?
