US Art Supply 12-Piece Short Handle Brush Set







I love this set of paint brushes. I am by no means a artist and basically just use paint in my crafting projects, but this set would be great for anyone who paints, even a professional. I love the wide array of sizes. I really love the short handles. I feel like I have more control with short handle brushes. These also come in a great zippered case to keep them all safe and sound. There are 12 brushes in this set. There are 5 fine line brushes, 6 wider flat brushes, and a fan brush. The bristles are nylon. They work great with Acrylic & Oil paints.

Senchanting Women's Steel Boned Vest Underbust Corset





I love this underbust corset. It fits great, and that is because it is so adjustable. It has a very long tie string on the back and I could of even bought a size smaller and it would of still fit. Most corests come with short cords. I will be wearing this to the different medieval festivals over a shirt. It is just to pretty to hide. I love that this goes on like a button up shirt and has a full back. The metal hooks and eyes on the front are connected very well and have not slipped loose one I have this corset on. The stitching on this corset is very good as well, it has not pulled even when my Daughter cinched me in this corset what I think was too tight.  I have not put mine in the wash machine, instead I washed it out in the sink and hung it to dry. It came out great. This is comfortable to wear as long as my Daughter doesn't tighten it too much. I really like that now that it is tied in the right spots I can pretty much leave it tied and just use the front colsures to get in and out of it, and don't need my daughters help anymore.

U7 Boyfriend Gift 18K Gold Plated Fast And Farious Crystal Cross Pendant Necklace






This is a awesome necklace. I guess since it is for men I cant call it beautiful so will call it very handsome. The chain and pendant are both platinum plated .The chain is 22 inches long. The cross is 2 inches long and has a hinge in the center that lets the bottom half of the cross move. There is also cubic zirconia rhinestones on the cross. This necklace was inspired by the Fast and the Furious movie. I gave this to my Nephew for his birthday and he really loves it. This comes in a very nice gift box with a satin bow already on it. The necklace is on a cardboard card in a plastic bag inside of the box to hold it nice and neat.  Great item and a great gift.

U.S. Art Supply 9" x 12" Premium Heavy-Weight Watercolor Painting Paper Pad




This is a nice tablet of watercolor paper.  The paper is acid free, natural white, and 140 pound paper. Great for kids artwork. With kids sometimes more water ends up on the paper then actual paint. The pad has a glue binding at the top of the pad. The pages come out easily when pulled. I am very happy with this tablet. There are only 12 pages int he pad. This pad is great for kids up to professional. The pages are a full 9 X 12.

Book Description:

He’s no pushover. And she ain’t no fairy princess.

No one would guess that Sapphy, awesome whirlwind of Maze badassness, grew up sheltered in the Fae realm. Witnessing a murder drove her into the humans’ broken cities to hide, but now she’s back, going undercover to keep history from repeating as the tournament to choose a new Fae queen dawns.

The only pebble in her shit-kicking boot is the jaw-gritting interference of Nathe Amergin, a Fae Enforcer whose solemn violet eyes set her skin to sizzle.

After the loss of his beloved sister, Nathe saved his last shred of sanity by clamping a lid on his emotions and forging a path to justice. When this frustrating, blue-eyed, my-go-or-I’ll-blow female informs him of a possible threat to the realm, his offer of support is genuine, if reluctant.

While he’s willing to work with her to protect his people, this sinful smart-ass skates perilously close to unleashing an avalanche of passion that, as the final choosing looms and whispers turn to screams, could bury them both.

Product Warnings
Contains ear-blushing sex between a flighty Fae with a mean air jab and a grounded Elemental who makes her earth move. Add a murderous queen clinging to power, and sabotage that strikes out of thin air. Anyone got ear plugs?

Excerpt:

“Where is she?” Nathe ran a hand down the back of his head, rubbing at the pressure point in his nape. “How did you fare at the dress shop? She must look acceptable, Tomas.”

“Trust me. Saphaia looks…acceptable.”

The edge of humor was not welcome. Not tonight. “Where is she?” Nathe stressed. “The announcements of competitors will begin soon. It will not look correct if she hasn’t mingled first.”

Tomas blinked at the rush of words. “You’re nervous.”

“I am not.”

“Like a virgin on her wedding night.”

“Can you stop thinking about sex for one moment, Tomas? This is serious. So many aspects of this plan can fall apart if she makes one wrong step.”

“Do you have so little trust in her?” Tomas pushed his hands into the pockets of his dress suit, a little more fashionable than Nathe’s own, the color of a good claret that complimented his dark skin.

Nathe sniffed. “You have known her one day. How can you have so much?”

Tomas shrugged, ignoring the giggles of passing noblewomen as they headed for the buffet. “She is a straightforward woman, a species I could get used to. Even attracted to.”

“What does that mean?”

“As I said, she is an intriguingly open woman. No false modesty. And she has an enticing form.”

Dark emotions swirled in Nathe’s gut at the thought of Sapphy pressing her lips to Tomas, her body astride his friend’s.

The earth threatened to tremor beneath him until he quelled it. “What happened at the gown shop?”

“We bought several outfits. We talked about life and love.” Tomas tilted his chin. “Are you looking in that direction, my friend?”

“No.”

“Then I pity the blind man.” With those puzzling words, Tomas slapped a hand on Nathe’s arm. “For all the good it may bring you, she’s on the stairs.”

Hit with a flood of relief, Nathe twisted to where Tomas now pointed.

And stood frozen.

His breath halted, his heart pounded once before forgetting its next action entirely. The dancers melted away, the shouts of laughter and revelry faded, even Tomas blurred until there was but the dark.

And her.

Sapphy stood poised at the top of the marble staircase like an angel from a painting, one graceful hand brushing the bannister, her face in profile as she looked away.

Her long, lithe body was wrapped in silk. The gown was a waterfall of blue, darkest blueberry at the bodice melting into crisp ice at the hem. Baring creamy white shoulders, it cupped her round breasts, slipped down to a waist he could span with both hands, before flaring out to the floor.

Her face had been painted, her lips a pale pink, her eyes a dramatic storm of smoke and ice. Sapphires trickled from her earlobes and graced her throat, simple, understated, elegant.

But it was her hair that was magnificent. A sweep of silvery-blue, the color of ice crystals on the verge of melting, it had been left loose to wave down to her hips, the different blues shimmering in the electric lights. A crown of bluebells adorned her head, a dramatic contrast between sensuality and innocence. The awakening.

She moved like the wind she called her own when she began to descend, a rolling of her hips that had Nathe’s blood sizzling, snapping, aching for her. His body stiffened, but he drifted toward her, unable to stop himself. Drawn together, he thought. Magnets.

And still there was nobody but them as he met her at the middle. She spoke not a word, but her eyes remained watchful, knowing. Even bluer now that her true colors had been revealed. They blistered him with a knowing look.

With a small smile, she held out a hand.

In the dreamscape, every movement was slow, and his taking of her hand was no different. Raising it to his lips, he inhaled the scent of her skin, brushing his lips over her knuckles, lingering.

His eyes flicked up. Breathless was how she looked, sensual and slumberous as she watched him out of hooded eyes.

His groin was on fire, his belly in knots as he longed to yank her to him, gather her skirts up and ride them both to ecstasy.

She waited for him to speak, but he couldn’t find the words to describe her beauty, every one trite and cliché. Every one fell short.

So he took the hand he still held and pressed it inside his jacket, against his racing heart. As her smile floated away, he moved in as close as the steps allowed.

“I burn,” he said softly. He held her gaze as his breath whispered across her cheek.

She quivered.

Book Blast for No Place Like Home by Jennifer Kacey


No Place Like Home
by Jennifer Kacey


~~~~~~~~~~~~~


GENRE: Contemporary Romance


~~~~~~~~~~~~~


BLURB:


Coming Home, Book 1


In high school, Bianca Charleston was a nobody. An overweight wallflower, so invisible that Cole, the boy she had a crush on, never even knew she existed.


Things have changed, and she’s finally ready to show off her new bombshell look. Sort of. Maybe. After a one-sided pep talk with her cat, she takes a deep breath and flies home to help out with the annual hospital carnival. Cole is there, too—and he still has no idea who she is.


FBI field officer Cole Johnson doesn’t have an easy job, and his nights are usually booked solid. Then in walks Charlie, a blonde with killer…everything. Suddenly he’s mentally clearing his schedule for a rare night out. While Charlie doesn’t do one-night stands, somehow after-dinner dessert is served up against the wall of her hotel room. But happiness will have to navigate an emotional minefield of preconceived notions—and a couple of not-so-secret stumbling blocks.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Excerpt Two:


At the end of the hall she glanced back, and then again as she stopped to stare. She seemed genuinely surprised they were looking at her. Quickly all the backs of his buddies’ heads disappeared, leaving him standing there.


He might have been drooling.


Maybe.


Hopefully she stood too far away to see.


Half the fun of watching was getting caught. So he winked at her and leaned against the door frame. Looking cool was secondary to concealing the hard-on that immediately sprang to life as he watched her walk away.


Her smile as she disappeared around the corner? Damn. And the giggle he heard a couple seconds later had to be her.


Double damn.


As he stepped back into his office, he adjusted his cock. Stifling his groan took complete focus. Reacting to a woman this strongly hadn’t happened to him in a long time.


“Who in the hell was that?” Grant didn’t waste any time.


Thankfully he had just enough time to sit and hide the evidence of what she did to him. “Charlie.”


“Yeah, I got that much from the meet and greet. But who is she?”


“A friend.” Yeah, it was a bit of a stretch, but it sounded good.


“With benefits, I hope?”


Nice and awful to know he wasn’t the only one drooling over her. “Don’t know yet, but hopefully.”

Book Trailer Reveal for Fish Wielder by J.R.R.R (Jim) Hardison


Fish Wielder
J.R.R.R (Jim) Hardison

YA Epic Fantasy
Fish Wielder Series (Book 1)
Publisher: Fiery Seas Publishing, LLC
August 23, 2016 

Book Description:

Fish Wielder is kind of like Lord of the Rings, set in Narnia, if it was written by the guys who made Monty Python and the Holy Grail while they were listening to the music of They Might Be Giants. 

In ancient times, the Dark Lord Mauron cooked the most powerful magic chocolate dessert ever made, the Pudding of Power.

One thousand and two years later, the evil leader of the Bad Religion, the Heartless One, is trying to recover the lost pudding in order to enslave the peoples of Grome. Only the depressed barbarian warrior Thoral Might Fist and his best friend, Brad the talking Koi fish, have a chance to save the world of Grome from destruction, but that's going to take a ridiculous amount of magic and mayhem.

Thus begins the epically silly epic fantasy of epic proportions, Fish Wielder—book one of the Fish Wielder Trilogy.

Advanced Praise:

“This is one wild romp! I'm not sure I've seen such preposterously determined critic-baiting parody since Xanth or Asprin's Myth-Begotten series. I recommend it to anyone.” ―Piers Anthony, New York Times Bestselling Author 

"Fast, fun, fantastic! Fish Wielder is hilarious and unpredictable, like a drunk bear playing whack-a-mole." ―Logan J. Hunder, author of Witches Be Crazy

"A great time. Fast and funny, it races along in a self-aware tone that should appeal to anyone who loves fantasy but has ever found themselves thinking, huh, that was a little melodramatic." ―Clay Johnson, author of OFF TO SEE THE WIZARD (Ravenswood Publishing, 2016)




About the Author:

Fish Wielder is J.R.R.R. (Jim) Hardison's first novel novel (He wrote a graphic novel, The Helm, for Dark Horse Comics). Jim has worked as a writer, screen writer, animator and film director. He started his professional career by producing a low-budget direct-to-video feature film, The Creature From Lake Michigan. Making a bad movie can be a crash course in the essential elements of good character and story, and The Creature From Lake Michigan was a tremendously bad movie. Shifting his focus entirely to animation, Jim joined Will Vinton Studios where he directed animated commercials for M&M’s and on the stop-motion TV series Gary and Mike. While working at Vinton, he also co-wrote the television special Popeye's Voyage: The Quest for Pappy with actor Paul Reiser.

Jim has appeared on NBC's The Apprentice as an expert advisor on brand characters, developed characters and wrote the pilot episode for the PBS children's television series SeeMore's Playhouse and authored the previously mentioned graphic novel, The Helm, named one of 2010's top ten Great Graphic Novels for Teens by YALSA, a branch of the American Library Association. These days, Jim is the creative director and co-owner of Character LLC, a company that does story-analysis for brands and entertainment properties. He lives in Portland, Oregon with his lovely wife, two amazing kids, one smart dog and one stupid dog.
