Tattooed Sweetheart (eBook, ePUB)
I'd always been a loner, the label of "bad boy" always following me around because I was tattooed and pierced-although, it wasn't like anyone ever saw my piercing. People saw me as some kind of delinquent, when I was anything but, and they were too afraid or wary to try to get to know me. And as the years went on, I accepted that was my reality… until I had enough.So, with nothing else to lose, no family or friends, I decided to make a change. I packed up, moved to the Colorado mountain town of Sweetheart, and started my own business as a tattoo artist.Seemed like the perfect distraction, the ideal way to reinvent myself. And it was working out for the last three years.I'd been content with what I had and never wanted more than that. That was until I saw her, and I realized exactly what I'd been missing in my life.Because she wasn't in it.Flora Harrison, owner of the brand-new coffee shop that opened up right across from my tattoo parlor, was everything I didn't know I needed in my life. And I couldn't stop from inserting myself into hers until there was no doubt that I was meant to be there.That she was meant to be mine. If nothing else, I was persistent, and no one and nothing would dissuade me from claiming the woman of my dreams. Not even her.- Shop: buecher

The Vampire's Tomb Mystery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 558min
Funerals; for most of us the trappings of the funeral parlor and the finality of the cemetery commemorates the end, but for an actor like Armand Tesla, who was best remembered for his vampire roles, a funeral is only the beginning. Armand Tesla was to be buried in his vampire costume, but obviously the aged star of stage and screen horror was not yet ready to ring down the final curtain. No, it would not be nearly so easy to bury such a restless corpse. So be prepared for a case of a body that won't stay put and the tale of a struggling young movie director with more ambition than talent who turns up missing at the vampire's last bow. Indeed, my friends, this will prove to be just the kind of case that only a psychic Hollywood detective like Charles Criswell King, aided by Famous Monster Forrest J Ackerman, can solve. So, gentle reader, be prepared for a tale of creaking doors and empty coffins, of gunshots in the night and damsels in distress, all part of "The Vampire's Tomb Mystery." ungekürzt.
