To Beer Or Not to Beer by Norsebard (Uber-Original/Alt/Complete)
The simplest of projects can sometimes be the most difficult to accomplish - like when Cecilie Clausen is sent to Fjordby to buy a couple of cans of H.E. Fenwyck's Master Brew. The beer is meant to be a surprise gift for her choosy father-in-law so only the real McCoy will do. The town's four supermarkets provide plenty of highs and lows as Cecilie goes on a tireless, fearless quest to find the elusive cans of beer…

Molly Bradley has had a hell of a bad year, but she's doing everything possible to keep herself from going off the rails.

When she joins a new book club, she finds herself using every spare minute to plow through the difficult titles the hyper-competitive members choose.

The schedule is so tough she would have quit after the first meeting. But spending a little time with Alexa Fox, the host for that night's meeting, convinced her that whipping through a book a week was a small price to pay for the pleasure of her company.

Now all she has to do is remind herself that their growing friendship has to remain just that—a hurdle that proves to be her toughest yet.

Kiss Your Elbow

An Embellished Memoire about Growing Up Gay in the 50's and 60's

by

Susan Stocker

Growing up in the 50s and 60s was a hip, groovy, and a laid-back kind of a life for most young teenage girls. Except if you were taller than most adults, completely out of it because your mother had total control of your life, and discovered you were different than all your friends, it was more like a complete social wipeout.

Susan was tall, athletic, and popular in elementary school and it never occurred to her life would change drastically when she entered junior high school. But by the first weekend in the new school year it was clear her easy-going life had changed forever.

Check out the Sneak Peek at Desert Palm Press .

Blurb: Melissa MacKenzie, a basketball star in high school, never wanted to play college ball. The daughter of a legendary women's coach, she has played since she was in diapers. Basketball was always a chore for Melissa, and she never developed the passion and skills necessary to garner much Division I attention. She hoped that by attending college across the country, she could get a break from basketball and carve out her own place in the world.
Parental interference conspired, and Melissa ended up playing for the Richmond College Ravens, riding the bench for four years. As Melissa's last NCAA tournament approaches, she wonders if she wasted the past few years by not giving her all. However, a series of unfortunate events means that Melissa has no more time to dwell on these woes—because she's being pressed into service. Now she's a starter, and all eyes are on her and the Ravens' head coach, Andi Zappa.
Andi is fighting her own demons, and Richmond College is letting her go after the season ends. The two women work together to ensure that the Ravens don't embarrass themselves too much on the national stage, and they find themselves playing with matters of the heart as well as matters of basketball as the national championship looms.
Will these human frailties doom them or make them stronger?
