Andrey Vasilyev is a prominent and acclaimed author that writes intricately crafted, action-packed heroic fantasy and adult epic adventure. Moreover, he is one of the founding fathers of the relatively new, yet insanely popular, LitRPG genre that blends cyberpunk, classic sci-fi and fantasy. His debut novel More Than a Game was chosen the "Best Book of the Year” in 2014 in Russia, the birthplace of LitRPG!
“Today I will combine skepticism with optimism in my search for a happier truth."
Home Groupies is a 'thought for the day' book in the form of a novella. Rather than being spoken by a disembodied voice, the daily messages arise from the lives of flesh and blood characters. They struggle with their own issues as they deal with their friend Sharon's battle with cancer.
"Today I will accept sometimes I am powerless over that which is most precious and painful."
David, a fifty-something, bipolar, entrepreneur. David cheats on his third wife with a 'newbie' half his age who is pregnant by her married boyfriend. What's unreal is not the soap opera life he leads, but his rock solid belief in himself.
"Before you judge me, think about this with an open mind. I am keeping her from hooking up with more predatory men. I am showing her that she can enjoy herself without using drugs. Because my needs are being met elsewhere, I am taking the pressure off my wife. All the while, I am sharing my knowledge of Twelve Step programs and how they work..."
Skipping through the whole narrative is a little girl, Chanel, who has seen way too much, but whose spirit cannot be crushed:
"Small for her age, Chanel was seven, going on thirty, going on three. She would tell you with great pride she had completed second grade and could name all fifty states. Chanel had seen the police and paramedics come for her mother. She knew the smell of crack smoke, and how to be invisible when adults thought someone had stolen their drugs. She wanted to be held, and to know when she would see you again."
Sue is the most prominent of the female characters. She never smoked a cigarette in her life, and had the tenacity to become the first female president of the local carpenters' union. Sue is dying of lung cancer. She struggles with two issues: being scared out of her toughness, and her anger at the unfairness of it all.
Sharon, Sue's best friend, accepts the unfairness of Sue's situation, but worries about her other friends. Sharon's biggest regret is that she was born too late for Woodstock. She is fluent in eastern philosophy, and mystified others don't share her appreciation for the mystical.
"Today I will accept that life is unfair.
I will be glad I'm not in charge.
I will beware of how conveniently my wants line up with my desire for 'fairness."'
LeVaughn's love for what can be seen and measured. He teaches science at the local high school and volunteers at a nearby homeless shelter. LeVaughn is awestruck by all that he sees, and doesn't understand why Sharon needs to bring unseen forces into the discussion.
Victoria is old money, recovering from her addiction to painkillers. A rival's 'Prince Charming' was killed driving through a snowstorm to visit Victoria for some 'happily-ever-aftering.' Victoria still feels guilty about the whole affair.
She is a church-lady from old money who looks like she should be sitting at the opera, not at an NA meeting. Victoria started drinking at boarding school. She was introduced to prescription painkillers by a friend. "Street junkies were amazed at how much they had in common with Victoria."
Victoria's friend Robert may go to jail. While managing his family's bank, he combined painkillers, alcohol, and coke with an SEC investigation to bring about his downfall. He has become an expert at acceptance while he waits to see if he will be going to federal prison.
Tom is a tough guy who finally grew up. He walks with a limp he got from hitting a tree in his truck while he was chasing a neighbor. Tom is fighting with his ex for custody of their daughter. He has learned he is powerless over his ex-wife's behavior.
Home Groupies has a message, characters, and a plot. I know you will enjoy all three.

AArdvarks tells the story of young people struggling to stay clean and sober. Originally published as a daily blog, each chapter ends with a thought for the day. For example, nineteen year old Ann traded her body for cocaine. The message for the day we meet her reads: "Today I will remember some things can't be sold without taxing your soul." Other members include a young man known affectionately as "The Emu from CMU" (Carnegie-Mellon University). He wants to save the world, but has spent the previous year drinking away his frustration.
James the son of a Kenyan father and a British mother, has seen much of what the world has to offer, including crack, which he quickly became addicted to. Heavy drinking Michaela is angry she got pregnant in high school. She has raised her son alone. Her son's father and his teenage girlfriend want to re-enter his life. Michaela is trying not to drink or kill them.
Despite all his money, Liam struggles. His parents are filthy rich kids in adult bodies, drinking and smoking their way across Europe. They want him to join the party. Julie, never met a drug she didn't like. Despite being a heavy smoker, she is most terrified she might die from swine flu or a rare cancer not yet diagnosed.
They share their "experience, strength, and hope," and try to keep each other clean and sober.
Love is power far more than you can imagine, it connects us to all life this side and the next. Some seven years ago something happened to awaken that power within me. It wasn’t a death, it was just something I thought would happen but fell apart.
I fell in a dark space and in doing so my loved ones that hand passed on, were trying to uplift me with inspiration words. With now some thirty journals of writing, these are just a few pieces of inspiration I received.
These forty four pieces of inspiration -subjects covered loss of a loved one, Angels, God and spirit . I believe we are all connected through the power of love. may the words written uplift those souls that are down, bringing truth that there is more to life to discover.
The beauty of heaven is through the doorway of your heart, for love and God are one.

What a mess. This was not supposed to happen.
This isn’t where Nick Owen thought he would be by this point in life. He used to be a busy web programmer. Now he spends most of his energy trying to stop his three-year-old twins from playing in a dirty sand pit. Nick thinks of himself as Daddy 3.0, a stay-at-home-dad—but he just wasn’t programmed for this.
He must navigate a new world of jungle gyms and playdates while supporting his surgeon wife. He tries his best to be there for the twins, but he can’t stop making a mess of things. He’s just about nearing the end of his rope when the Swing Incident happens. The Swing Incident, spoken of in hushed tones around Nick’s New York City apartment building, has caused the resident queen bee, nicknamed “Supermom,” to declare him an enemy for life. No matter what Nick does to get back into Supermom’s good graces, he fails spectacularly.
Now Nick’s going to have to learn to fight fire with fire and become the best superparent on the block. This hilarious new book by Rob Armstrong chronicles one man’s journey into the world of modern fatherhood—one botched haircut, playground fight, and dirty diaper at a time.
Stay-at-home-dads have a new hero, of sorts.

AUTHOR BIO
“Neither a Tolstoy nor a Chekhov”, sci-fi and fantasy author Alex Sapegin always loved the freedoms afforded by the fantasy genre and has been an admirer of dragon might ever since he first read of Smaug’s sorry but just end.
A special flair for storytelling emerged in his youth, when his peers would eagerly listen to his action-packed stories with their many twists and turns. Naturally, it was only a matter of time before his friends and family persuaded him to put pen to paper, which proved to be a life-changing decision.
His creative energy has since known no bounds and thus Alex has carved a unique path, in worlds both real and imagined. An electrical engineer by education, he has enjoyed an extensive career in tunnel construction and the railway industry, whilst always finding time for his joy of writing.
Alex Sapegin launched onto the Russian sci-fi and fantasy scene in 2010 with his first epic fantasy novel Becoming the Dragon, now available in English, German and Spanish, and was met with instant success in his native Russia, the post-Soviet Union and Eastern European countries. Upon reaching bestseller status, the tale was shortly followed by four more instalments in the series: Wings On My Back, A Cruel Tale, Crown of Horns and Home At Last.
Alex Sapegin is also the author of The Clash, The Pet Story and Diaries of the Morph. He lives in Khabarovsk in the Russian Far East with his wife, two children, pet parakeet and overconfident tomcat and, when not crafting new worlds and adventures, he enjoys spending time with his children, skating and fishing.

Blog Post ➡ 99¢ & #FREE on Kindle Unlimited #BOOK ➡ A Medieval Tale: First Lessons by Lina J. Potter
An amusing Medieval tale on the same wavelength with the top-rated OUTLANDER
The first novel of the bestselling historical fiction series with thousands of fans all over the world!
Being a genius Medical school graduate and a sporty and active girl, Aliya dies suddenly in a car accident… only to find herself reborn in a completely different body in the middle of a half-ruined castle during Medieval times. While confused and dismayed, Aliya realizes she has been given a second chance in life — so she rolls up her sleeves and gets to work on restoring the castle and her new life.
Aliya has an unusual and difficult goal: she is reborn as Countess Lilian; she has to adjust to an unfamiliar world while trying to introduce the everyday conveniences from her familiar modern world. She needs to take care of the collapsing estate of Earton and its inhabitants while living in the past as a disenfranchised woman. Regular robbers and slave-trader attacks won’t leave her in peace, killers and spies, sent by the narcissistic aristocracy, are just waiting for her to show a bit of weakness so that they can strike. On the other hand, there exist a prospect of meeting with her perpetually absent husband whom, by the way, after her rebirth as Countess Lilian, Aliya has never seen.
Her plan is to make the best of her unusual circumstances to make the world better. She is not a girl in trouble waiting for a prince in shining armor — she strives to achieve everything herself.

First Lessons is the opening book of the bestselling historical and time travel fantasy A Medieval Tale series by Lina J. Potter. The heroine finds herself only at the beginning of a thorny path to progress and happiness. She makes her first steps, building a defense for herself, her new friends, and her rapidly developing business empire — and this is no piece of cake for sure. Despite everything, she has to still go up against the unprogressive and sexist society of the Medieval Ages, with only her knowledge, experience, and strong will on her side. Still, Lilian has to act carefully in order not to draw too much attention to her innovations — she knows she could be praised for her genius, or conversely, accused of witchcraft.
AUTHOR BIO
Lina J. Potter has been dreaming up stories for as long as she can remember. She started putting hertales on paper when she was around ten years old, and, according to her own words, continued happily scribbling ever since: “Call it inspiration, the voice of a Muse, or plain obsession… but I felt I had to write it down or else my brain would explode with all these characters longing to come alive”.
However, Lina did not feel ready to share her writing with the world until recently, when in 2011 she submitted an extract from her historical fantasy novel, I am Sophia, to an online magazine. Immediately after, Lina J. Potter was approached by e-talent scouts representing publishers and other literary companies. Since then, there was no looking back for Lina J. Potter, who quickly turned into one of themost published and widely talked- about (yet least public!) romantic fantasy authors in the country. Her impressive publications list speaks for itself, and we are thrilled to announce that her first few bestsellers are now available in English.
Nowadays Lina J. Potter lives in the town of Tambov with her husband, daughter and two cats. She hasa light-hearted approach to writing. Whenever she is not writing, you can find her practicing karate and lace-making. She avoids personal publicity and shies away from the literary limelight, preferring her quiet life to focus on writing.
This short but poignant collection of poems offers insights to the soul of Natasha Gruss. While Natasha is only one person, persons' feelings can easily correlate to another's meaning this book reaches out to a wide variety of the human population. It is for people who want to see beauty and joy, but who also want to empathize with sadness and find release from their own. It is for people who want to marvel at the mysteries of life and who want to feel."Un-Clenched Emotion" explores timeless philosophical questions people may ask and it lets people be free to answer those questions themselves. The poems in this book were written throughout Natasha's life; from being a young child, to being a high school student, to being an adult; making the poems timeless in nature. The poems were written throughout different areas of the United States, some being in the reality of this world and reveling in nature, some exploring the universe, and some exploring dreams. If you like to celebrate feelings and the human psyche, these poems are perfect for you.

What a mess. This was not supposed to happen.
This isn’t where Nick Owen thought he would be by this point in life. He used to be a busy web programmer. Now he spends most of his energy trying to stop his three-year-old twins from playing in a dirty sand pit. Nick thinks of himself as Daddy 3.0, a stay-at-home-dad—but he just wasn’t programmed for this.
He must navigate a new world of jungle gyms and playdates while supporting his surgeon wife. He tries his best to be there for the twins, but he can’t stop making a mess of things. He’s just about nearing the end of his rope when the Swing Incident happens. The Swing Incident, spoken of in hushed tones around Nick’s New York City apartment building, has caused the resident queen bee, nicknamed “Supermom,” to declare him an enemy for life. No matter what Nick does to get back into Supermom’s good graces, he fails spectacularly.
Now Nick’s going to have to learn to fight fire with fire and become the best superparent on the block. This hilarious new book by Rob Armstrong chronicles one man’s journey into the world of modern fatherhood—one botched haircut, playground fight, and dirty diaper at a time.
Stay-at-home-dads have a new hero, of sorts.

The situational comedy was absolutely hilarious. I kept thinking, "I'd love to see this movie." The quality of the writing added to the reading pleasure. If this is the first book, I look forward to his second, third and more.” - Chuck Hossack, PA
