Welcome to hell on wheels...

OK kids, we have several bards who have something for sale, wanna guess what it is? No silly not their bodies...good idea tho...we could auction them off as a slave for a day kinda thing, but nope that’s not it either. Bummer eh? It’s their books, yes a real book, one that you can crawl in bed and cuddle up with an it won’t snore, back talk you, make you sleep with the dog on the floor or kick you when you fall asleep with a night light on!  Click any title that is underlined and it will take you directly to a page to order your personal copy of the book or books listed.  Published bards covered include: Larisa, D.J. Belt, phair (Marguerite Mullaney), ArdentTly (Trish Shields) and Dimples (Nikky Grin)

****The first bard I want to talk about is my twin sister Larisa (hecate3366@aol.com)... She has two books ( Body Parts and Buried Prejudices) coming to you from:

(http://www.limitlessd2d.net/catalogue/catlisting.html)


So...lets hash this out... Body Parts is up first.
It has everything a good book is made of gore, love, laughter and a flair that can only be Larisa! I have read this one it kept me on the edge of my seat and could not put it down.

The setting is Maryland with Detective Xepher Sallano, trying to solve what appear to be serial murders, keeps running into dead ends...literally. Then the Medical Examiner dies in the midst of the investigation, and his replacement makes Sallano see red. It's hate at first sight for Chief Medical Examiner Brianna Meadows, too. Or is it? As the murders get more gruesome, Detective and Medical Examiner find themselves involved...in more ways than one.

So go order a copy and help feed the bard! She is tired of living on mac an cheese!!!!

The second book is
Buried Prejudices. Which is due to be released in June 2004 (But you can pre-ordered now at D2D publishing). I have read the online version and it again is one of my favorites. Chalked full of action and romance which can only be done by Larisa! There is no one who can weave a wild tale like Larisa can and add humor as well as romance, making it fit in a neat package like this book is! She will leave you wanting more and more....

Buried Prejudices....
FBI Director Jericho Chamaune has a hobby of trying to solve the cases of missing women dating back ten years of more. One day her assistant director Stan gives her yet another folder of a missing woman. Like several others, she is a college student from Texas. In all the time she has been working the case, they have yet to find any sign of the missing women. When she placed the picture of the latest missing young woman on her wall, she could not tear her eyes away from the green eyes looking back at her. Would she find this latest missing woman?

I guess you'll havta buy the book and find out. Both of the books make a kick ass addition to anyone’s collection!

So come on order your copies today! And don’t forget to stop an say HI to Larisa at the DC Bard fest this year bet ya can get her to autograph your book ifin ya ask nicely!
Who’s your daddy??? Heheheee, see you in DC!

****Next up would be D.J.Belt (dbelt@mindspring.com)...

Now I can’t lie and say I am all too familiar with DJ, as this bard has just joined our sandbox. We are very excited to have this bard join us as well as an honor to let you know about DJ’s published book! I have read some online stories by this romantic bard and I can honestly say for someone who’s not a romantic type (me) this bard can put ya in the mood for it! DJ has a book out called.... An Amazons' Moon 

It is 470 BC. Syri is a loner, a vagabond Athenian mariner and poet who has inherited a fast ship and able crew upon the death of his former captain. Through ability and serendipity, he attracts the attention of Athens’ elite who enlist him in a dangerous, uncertain expedition: the mission to negotiate a defense treaty with the fearsome Amazon nation against the hated Persians. At first mercenary, his motives turn intensely personal as he repeatedly leads his comrades through brutal battles with pirates, a superior Persian army and the wild, unpredictable nature of Poseidon’s seas. In the midst of combat arises deep bonds of friendship with a fiery Amazon princess and her female lover and the passion found in the dark eyes and enchanting flutes of a mystic Egyptian woman. As his journey continues, it may convince him that safe harbor is not to be found in stone and mortar alone.

An Amazons' Moon is an exciting historic fiction embedded in the richest details of daily life about the Mediterranean 2,500 years ago. It takes the reader on a thrilling ride through intrigue, adventures at sea, combat and romance while visiting the worlds of ancient Greece and the Amazons. The colorful characters, historic details, bawdy humor and good storytelling bring Syri and his companions to life in this first of a series of adventures.

So help keep DJ’s electric bill paid... You can purchase a copy at the following address.....

****Next up is “Dimples” (dimples_2000_fr@yahoo.com )AKA...Nikki Grin...

“Dimples” as I know her is quick witted and an excellent writer. Her first book “ Time and Time Again” is now available at...

http://www.limitlessd2d.net/catalogue/TimeAndTimeAgain.html

Time and Time Again” ... Plagued by recurring visions during sleep and waking hours, Audry Haven is simply at a loss.  Her career as a reporter is on the verge of disaster, her personal life is solemn and lonely and her physical condition, deteriorating by the day.

It is only when she meets a sweet psychic that Audry begins to see the light. Through past lives, loves, death and despair, the pain of loss keeps getting stronger yet draws Audry closer to her destiny. Loved ones are not the only ones to pass through time and space, evil always lingers in the distance. Will evil prevail and keep destiny from being fulfilled or will it be already too late?

Time and Time Again is the only promise of certainty, of love, of eternity.

Dimples second book is also on D2D..... So Close, So Far

http://www.limitlessd2d.net/catalogue/SoCloseSoFar.html

Have you ever imagined what it is like to be famous; to have millions of adoring fans craving the smallest attention from you; to have the whole world with its endless possibilities at your beck and call; to actually do what you love most? Jay and Jennifer have and they made it come true. The best of friends since kindergarten, they had always been there for each other. Now in the spotlight, they have to face both the good and the bad this exciting world has to offer. It's a love story placed on the roller coaster of fame and fortune. How much will it take to rattle the world of these celebrities when friendship is starting to crumble and love is filled with uncertainties?

Again I can’t lie I have yet to read these, but I can say I have read quite a few of her other works and I can assure you it will be worth buying to read!

**************************************************

Why buy a book when it has been posted online you ask? Well duh that’s a no brainer, they always throw in chapters NOT included on a website as well as the bards have worked very hard to give you something to get pleasure from time after time(get your minds out of the gutters)!


So there you have it....now I put some effort into this an tried to be ‘professional’ and that’s one of the hardest things for me to do when not getting paid to be, so the least you can do is buy a book or two off this list and if your nice maybe we can get the bard to send you a autographed plate for the new book....and who knows I may just auction off these bards yet!

Hell maybe our whole list of bards should be a slave for a day...what ya think? Just think of the possibilities....heheheee....thanks for stopping an shoppin on the Sandbox. Our blue light special will be announced next time on a new ramble!!!!


Later Taters, Wizzy
