~ Book Synopsis ~
“…Frosty The Snowman was a jolly happy soul…” unless his once mortal form was infected with an unknown pathogen that’s turned him into a biting machine.Then Frosty doesn't get a corncob pipe and a button nose…he gets two in the head.
Seeking a safe haven from the impending danger of the infected, Governor Steve Landis commandeers a rural peninsula at the top of his state to enact a grandiose plan outlined in the survival guide passed down to him by his great uncle.
People of the Bay Peninsula latch onto the ideals of their trusted official, desperate for sanctuary. But not Terry Riley. This hardened conspiracy theorist had packed up and fled to the north woods to join his son, who, like him does not trust the eager governor. In agreement on the uncertainty of the days to come, they journey to the family cabin to wait out the end of the world.
Try to avoid hypothermia as you plow through this bone-chilling blizzard of flesh tearing chaos, because snow isn't the only thing accumulating on Christmas Eve in this neck of the woods.

Author Picture                         ~ About the Author ~
G. Nykanen was born and raised in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. This small, rural land mass seems to cultivate a wide variety of colorful characters who provide a plethora of inspiration. The Point, Nykanen’s first novel, is filled with nuances of these local characters and the landscapes one might find in the north woods.

Well traveled thanks to her husband’s government career, she has lived in Europe and many of our United States over the last twenty years. She has recently returned home, moving back to her beloved Upper Peninsula where she resides with her husband and three children.

With The Point now completed, she will continue working on her next novel, Accumulation, along with continuing to develop other stories in the works.

Something is going down out in the world and a in this story we follow a few people as they try to survive.

The Governor. A man elected into office, but was always prepared for something to happen by his great uncle. He follows his Uncles old guidebook in order to survive, but the Governor isn't "all there" and while some of his ideas have saved lives while his delusions of grandeur ultimately cost him?

Terry Riley a grandfather and conspiracy theorist he was prepared for the world to go to hell and is determined to survive with his son and the rest of the family and a strangler here and there.

Deck he worked for the Governor, but once he realized his plans he ran and along with Dory a college student they are trying to figure things out. When the get into the woods Deck is in for a surprise.

These are just the main characters you follow throughout the story, their are others too which gives you a better idea of what's going on all around.

The idea of the story itself is interesting, but I had trouble the first 20% of the book trying to figure out the characters, with all the back and forth to the different people. After that hump I began to recognise the names easier and made the story easier to read and understand. I got sucked in at the end and now I wonder if there will be more books about the people to see what happened next!

Exclusive Excerpt
“Wrap your legs around me,” he commanded and she did. She was stunned when he walked over to the kitchen. “So what did she cook up for us Zac?” Brianna giggled. She had seen teenagers do this, and here she was being carried around by the high school quarterback, just like she was some fourteen year girl, and she was loving every minute of it.
“Lasagna, and it looks like she made it from scratch.” She heard the oven being opened behind her.
“Of course it’s from scratch. Mama Betty taught me how to cook.” She snuggled closer, resting her head into the crook of Charlie’s neck.
“It smells wonderful. I didn’t eat, you had me too worked up.” Charlie adjusted their position just a little, and just like that Brianna found the panel of her pantyhose nestled against the ridge of his erect cock. She was so turned on she knew she was going to leave a wet spot on his uniform. She tried to wiggle away.
“No,” his tone brooked no argument.
“You don’t understand,” she whispered, squirming to get down.
“Oh yes I do. You stay right the fuck where you are. I feel your nipples like diamonds against my chest. I can smell your cunt, and feel you marking me. You’re not going anywhere. This is the sexiest thing I’ve ever experienced in my life.” She was mesmerized by the power and demand in his voice as he ground himself against her. Then Zac’s hand pushed her hair away from her neck, biting down on the tendon between her shoulder and neck, catapulting her into a powerful orgasm. She was trembling, and then she felt Charlie transfer her into Zac’s arms, and she was carried to the sofa. She looked up, and both men were standing over her, and she felt dizzy, fuzzy, warm and almost protected. It was the oddest moment of her life. Light and dark angels. She felt her eyes closing and slid into that realm between sleep and awareness.

OUR REVIEWS

Protecting Olivia

4 Stars

Olivia is overworked but that's the way she loves it. Working with her charity she puts in 70 hour weeks and thinks nothing of it, her life before 5 wasn't easy and she's determined to help others so they won't have to go through what she did. She's always taken care of herself, but when Olivia's attacked she'll have to rely on others.

Joshua sees Olivia and just knows she's something special, hurt from her attack he's going to take things slow. Things between them though quickly get heated and they fall fast until Olivia just disappears.

Ian only wants to look after his best friend and make sure his new woman isn't like the old one, but he wasn't expecting HER. It was like seeing his past and future in one look, but she is his best friends girl and they will only ever have one night.

When she runs they have to find a way to make her choose between them...or do they? And when her life is in danger will they come together to protect her?

Olivia is a hard worker doing what she can to help those less fortunate. She's got a big heart always willing to give, but she's never willing to give up control.

Joshua is a sweetie. He's also an alpha male who goes after what he wants and protects those he loves.

Ian is the strong but silent type he may not always express himself the best but when he needs to he can talk to those he truly cares for.

They each bring something special to the table and together make each other complete. Sometimes they might clash and butt heads, but they all would do anything for each other. They have their ups and downs, but I loved seeing their journey.

Claiming Kara

4 Stars

Kara has always wanted love and forever with a special someone, what she wasn't expecting was two someones. When she fell for brothers Ben and Quinn she thought she had her forever but then they broke her heart. Now 5 years after meeting them she moving on trying to find someone else to start her forever with.

Ben knew there was something about Kara from the moment he saw her sitting there spaced out to the world drawing something on her sketch pad. He and his brother have taken care of their family since their dad died and now he's ready for something more out of life.

Quinn saw her but she already belonged to his brother, so when Ben reminds him of a conversation long ago he sees his forever in a triad relationship with the perfect woman and his brother. Until he screwed it up royally and lost Kara for both him and his brother.

Kara is strong and self assured in life except when it comes to men. There she's had allot of bad luck it'll take someone truly strong to see her and give her the life she wants.

Quinn is... an idiot. Well sometimes he get so self assured about things he doesn't see a situation as it really is. He's an alpha male who know what he wants even if he might not go about getting it the right way.

Ben is a sweetie who lost someone amazing because he allowed his brother to lead. Now that he's older and wiser he knows that a relationship between three people needs to be equal. He go after things but smartly and with a plan.

This story takes you back and forth the years of their relationship so you not only hear about what went wrong with them you get to read about exactly how it happened. This trio has its share of ups and downs but the journey was what made the story so interesting.

caitlynI write the Fate Harbor series for Siren. Fate Harbor is based on the Pacific Northwest town where I grew up, and filled with the same kind of quirky, loving people I remember. My books are filled with men and women who aren't perfect. They have problems, issues, angst, but every single one of them are good people who are deserving of love, (and steamy ménage sex.) On May 23rd 2014, USA Today Recommended "Protecting Olivia" in their Hot New Romance Books. "Protecting Olivia" is book number two in the Fate Harbor Series. I hope you'll take your time to explore the site, check out the books and excerpts and sign up for the newsletter. You can also send me comments. I would LOVE to hear whose story your think should be next.

(If not reviewing just remove)




I'm a British-born, Australian-based author. I've previously published two novels for teens (in '09 and '12) and have recently completed my first piece of erotic writing. 
At the beginning of 2014 (after having spent years writing other genres - historical, metaphysical, children's, romance) I decided I wanted to write about S.E.X. 
I discovered very quickly that I couldn't JUST write about sex, I wanted (I needed) it to have context, depth, and meaning. So, I started writing, and writing, and writing... I had intended to produce a short story but in less than 3 months I surpassed the 100,000 words mark and I wasn't even half-way finished! Besides, I was having SO much fun! :D
That was in May this year. Then I decided to turn SHE into parts 1 & 2 and I took a break from the writing to focus on publishing the first part.
Through FB networking I met some wonderful women who read my novel and offered suggestions and were all very positive about the strength of the story. Together we edited it, and I designed and created the cover and the internal layout. And on October 17th 2014 I pressed the "launch" button and voila! I'm part of the Kindle and Amazon community :)

Once Upon An Ever After by Angela N Blount

Once Upon An Ever After
by Angela N. Blount

Released July 2014

Set after the events of Blount's debut memoir, Once Upon A Road Trip, this short story anthology focuses on the unusual courtship of Angeli and Vincent.

When Angeli left Minnesota on a post-high school road trip, all she wanted was to see the East Coast and finally meet some of her online friends. She didn't expect to end up in a long-distance relationship with a computer-savvy Southern boy. Yet Vincent seems determined to defy the odds. To prove his intentions, he sets off on his own quest to visit Angeli and win her family's approval. But along the way he’ll have to contend with her offbeat friends, trigger-happy father, and a few questionable run-ins with Northern hospitality. 

South meets North this time around, and "normal" isn't anywhere on the map.

With a thousand miles and radically different upbringings between them, can Angeli and Vincent forge a forever-worthy bond? Or are the roadblocks they face too much for either of them to overcome?


What are reviewers saying?
This is an absolutely beautiful and sweet coming of age memoir and I went through every emotion whilst reading it. I laughed, I nearly cried but was quickly picked back up and read the rest of the story with a big grin! Is it too much trouble to be hoping for another installment to this? I can't get enough of Vince and Angie's story! Inspiring through and through! A big 5 stars from me on this review! Sky on Amazon

If you haven't yet read Angela's amazing awe-inspiring memoir, Once Upon a Road Trip, I'm telling you to go out and get it now! I have never meant that sentence more. Once Upon an Ever after wraps up Angeli's and Vince's story perfectly and has you happily sighing, laughing out loud and hoping their story will be a happily ever after. Bonny Bon Bon on Amazon
