  Horde

  Orcs used to be a fearsome fighting force, and the unleashing of the Horde brought terror to Humans, Elves, and Dwarves time and time again over the centuries. Nowadays, there aren't any more Ultimate Evils, Necromancers, or Dark Wizards left to hire the Horde. Paug Blumpkin is smart for an Orc (rather like saying he's smart for a box of hair). He's bored of training with the rest of the Horde for a war that will never come, and he's definitely tired of polishing his helmet. So he decides to set off in search of adventure, bringing along his cheerfully idiotic brother Milph, who has a regular habit of forgetting his pants. When they mug a Wizard while he's answering Nature's Call, they discover a treasure map (conveniently hidden in his Elven pornography), and thus begins their very own Quest Perilous. There's a powerful magical artifact halfway around the world, and Paug decides he's going to get the Tome of Unknowable Mysteries first. When he learns a celebrated Human hero is after the same booty, the race begins. With Milph using the stolen Wizard's wand (badly), a Barbarian warrior-woman named Petunia bringing the muscle, a lousy gambler named Hodak the Inconsequential (who happens to be fourteenth in line for the throne), and a Halfling thief named Gilpin with a chip on his shoulder, the companions head out into the great untamed wilderness, where death lurks behind every tree (and occasionally is the tree itself).

  Ever stood frozen in a grocery aisle, paralyzed by 37 types of orange juice or milk options that require a PhD to decode? Welcome to America—the land of freedom, fries, and fifty wildly different grocery store experiences. 
  In this delightfully quirky road trip, Robert Okine trades tourist traps for frozen food sections and souvenir shops for snack aisles. With the eyes of a global nomad and the wit of your favorite stand-up comic, he journeys state by state—from California’s kale sanctuaries to Texas’ brisket emporiums, from Vermont’s maple-syrup serenity to Florida’s hot mess of sunshine and Spam. 
  Forget Michelin stars—this is a love letter to the humble grocery store, where culture, identity, and chaos collide under fluorescent lights. It’s anthropology with a shopping cart, humor with heart, and America like you’ve never seen it: through the absurd abundance of almond milks, the regional pride of ranch dressings, and the soulful confessions of hot bars and deli counters. 
  Whether you're a curious traveler, a cultural junkie, or just someone who’s ever yelled “WHY are there eight kinds of frozen waffles?”—this book is for you. 
  Grab your reusable bags, buckle your snack belt, and prepare to laugh, nod, and crave a cheese curd you’ve never tasted. 
  Because in the U.S.A., one thing’s for sure: you’ll always have options.

  Hope - The Shackleford Sisters...

  In this funny Regency romance series, the Shackleford sisters descend on a Regency society that doesn’t know what’s hit it… 
   
  There was no doubt that things had definitely looked better for Gabriel Atwood, one time Viscount Northwood. Mainly because everyone who knew him or of him almost certainly believed him dead - the bastard who’d betrayed him had made sure of that. His only hope was to seek aid from Nicholas Sinclair, his former mentor, now the current Duke of Blackmore, before his enemies realised that news of his demise had been greatly exaggerated. Unfortunately, on finally reaching the Duke’s estate late on Christmas eve, Atwood discovered the house shrouded in darkness and realised with despair that his grace had undoubtedly chosen to spend the Christmas season elsewhere. 
   
  Hope Shackleford did not relish spending the festive season under the same roof as her entire family, even though the roof beneath which the gathering was to take place belonged to the Earl of Ravenstone and was far grander than the modest vicarage in which she’d spent her whole life. Indeed, given that her two eldest sisters were married to influential members of the ton, it had to be said that her family were becoming increasingly accustomed to indulgences entirely above their station. 
  Hope on the other hand, despite possessing a head of flaming red hair giving indication to the contrary, was a practical young woman who eschewed both whimsy and optimism, unlike the rest of her eccentric family - in particular her father whose calling as a man of the cloth seemed in recent years to play a secondary role to his passion for meddling in affairs that in Hope’s view were entirely none of his business. Thus, the chances of their Christmas festivities being wholly focused on the simple joys of the season were, in Hope’s opinion, slim to none. 
   
  After the unexpected appearance of a handsome vagrant who was clearly more than he seemed, Hope had no idea just how correct her misgivings would turn out to be… 
   
  Perfect for fans of Regency Romances with wit and humor and a little bit of steam.
