About Newfie, Come Home! by David Belisle:

For non-Canadians, this quick Newfie Primer may prove valuable. The Newfie is a proud citizen of Canada’s maritime playground – Newfoundland – also known as The Rock. This coastal, craggy island is the size of Montana but with half the people (500,000) and you’ll need to swap the cowboy hat for a pair of rubber boots. Since John Cabot landed on the shores of Cape Bonavista in 1497, the Newfie has been the fisher of cod. Until 1992 that is, when cod stocks hit rock bottom and a government moratorium on the little flipper took every net out of the water. It was like telling a fish he couldn’t swim. Out of tragedy comes comedy however, and the Newfie is blessed with perhaps the best sense of humor in the country. They stand out with their infectious laugh and dialect, a combination of Bristol English, Cork Irish and a Scottish kilt flapping in the wind. This is the backdrop for the gullible, happy-go-lucky hero of our tale, Gord McDougall.  “Newfie, Come Home!” is a fun-filled, fictional walk down a very short plank to the splash of laughter.Gord visits his father in the hospital after the elder McDougall decided to end it all with a shot of Skreech and a handful of pills, including Flintstone vitamins. But Gord’s dad survives and sees the error of his ways. He tells Gord that he should live life large and go out big. Gord misunderstands his father’s advice, thinking that in order to be somebody … he must kill himself. What follows is a series of misadventures where Gord’s quest for suicide inevitably finds him inside a terrorist cell. International incidents abound with Gord standing front row center. Is it time for this Newfie to finally come home?

About Her Majesty’s Will: A Will & Kit Adventure by David Blixt:

Before he was famous, he was a fugitive.Before he wrote of humanity, he lived it.Before he was the Bard of Avon, he was a spy.A very poor spy.England, 1586. Swept up in the skirts of a mysterious stranger, Will Shakespeare becomes entangled in a deadly and hilarious misadventure as he accidentally uncovers the Babington Plot: an attempt to murder Queen Elizabeth herself.Aided by the mercurial wit of Kit Marlowe, Will enters London for the first time, chased by rebels, spies, his own government, his past, and a bear. Through it all he demonstrates his loyalty and genius, proving himself to be – Her Majesty’s Will.Combining the whimsy of William Goldman’s The Princess Bride with the swashbuckling panache of Raphael Sabatini, and inspired by the Hope/Crosby Road Movies, this rollicking novel takes solace in knowing that these events surely never happened, while secretly hoping that they did.

About Rise to Power (The David Chronicles Book 1) by Uvi Poznansky:

Here is the story of David as you have never heard it before: from the king himself, telling the unofficial version, the one he never allowed his court scribes to recount. Rooted in ancient lore, his is a surprisingly modern memoir.

Notorious for his contradictions, David is seen by others as a gifted court entertainer, a successful captain in Saul’s army, a cunning fugitive, a traitor leading a gang of felons, and a ruthless raider of neighboring towns who leaves no witnesses behind. But how does he see himself, during this first phase of his life?With his hands stained with blood, can he find an inner balance between conflicting drives: his ambition for the crown, his determination to survive the conflict with Saul, and his longing for purity, for a touch of the divine, as expressed so lyrically in his psalms?

If you like ancient historical fiction about court intrigue, this king David novel has a modern twist like no book you have read before.

About Sauced up, Scarred and at Sleaze by G.C. McKay:

“A roller coaster ride through the dirtiest side of the people next door.” – Anna Civolani, Writer and EditorSauced UpA slang (or ‘colloquial’ for the more literary-minded) term for being drunk or high on illegal drugs, which many of the characters either are or wish to be.Also hinting at the ‘saucy’ and transgressive elements that fuel each story.Think smashed, horny and shitfaced.ScarredAn insinuation in regards to the emotional state of the personas portrayed. An ill-intentioned wink towards the debauched and defaced world they inhabit.Think distressed, damaged and perhaps most potently, disturbed.At SleazeA cheekily-natured play on the phrase ‘at ease’ as some of the players involved are comfortable with their moral degradation, whilst this book celebrates it. A warning towards the faint of heart, readers of a sensitive disposition and pusscakes.Think immoral, smutty and sordid.Sauced up, Scarred and at SleazeA collection of 8 short stories and novelettes, split right down the middle. Contains themes of drug and alcohol abuse, promiscuous behaviour, nihilism and traumatising coming of age lessons. In other words, ‘Existential Porn.’A salacious anthology of dank, transgressive tales so full of sin you’ll wonder how the hell the author stayed alive long enough to write them.Think: Why am I Not Reading this Right Now? Who the Fuck puts Bullet Points on a Fiction Book? and Did This Blurb Just Call Me a Pusscake?  “This book isn’t for everybody. You’ve got to be willing to take a trip through some pretty dark places and entertain some of the most perverse ideas committed to paper, completely free of moral judgement.” – Author, Alex Swery (sharpobjectspress.com)”Whilst reading, I experienced a sentiment akin to the partaking of forbidden fruit which incited me to continue until the bitter end. Definitely worth leaving your comfort zone for.” – J. Alejo, Amazon.co.uk Review”A disturbingly well-written collection of stories. Sometimes when I found at the verge of becoming disgusted, I caught myself laughing at an absurd turn of events. How do you get out of a hopeless, and sometimes, ridiculous situation? This book offers stories that describe just that” – Nobody, Amazon Reviewer (of damn good books)”Sauced up reminds me of Last Exit to Brooklyn, by Hubert Selby, Jr., one of my favorite transgressive authors of all time. It’s got the same rawness to it, a feeling of vitality and life flowing underneath all the grit and slime. I totally loved it.” – Lauren Sapala, author of Between the Shadow and Lo, Firefly Magic and The INFJ WriterFor more information and to listen to the opening story via the author’s short stories podcast, The Lone Drunk Readeth, visit gcmckay.com today.
