From corporate corruption and genetically modified food, to the distinct possibility of cosmic catastrophe from a rogue asteroid. The book comes with 14, colour, full page, photo-composition illustrations, that leave the reader no doubt that Jack Swan, is no ordinary talking fowl. The time travel stories deal with the Mark Twain's account of two lost steamers in Nicaragua to Albert Einstein's secretive trip to Panama in 1933. There is also the farcical story of a performance of Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake at London's Royal Albert Hall, except with a real lake and real swans - this just screams that a disaster will happen and Jack Swan never disappoints. Many historic facts are woven into the tales and many Jack Swan readers feel these weird story's inevitably must become a hillarious movie.

     Sex Coach

Faking it. * Most of us have done it. Maybe at a job interview, on a date, or maybe even faking it in the bedroom. I’m guilty for sure. In fact, I’ve never had an orgasm in my life. So, when the editor of the biggest women’s magazine was in desperate need of a substitute writer, and asked me to write an article called “How to Have Fantastic Multiple Orgasms,” I faked it again. Acting like an expert, I gladly accepted the assignment. Expecting to do the standard online research, it was refreshing to learn that my key information would be in the shape of a hot and gorgeous man, Jake King. Maybe it was because of his nickname, “King of Multiple Orgasms,” or maybe because the gigolo in front of me was the sexiest man alive, I hardly registered a word during the entire interview. If it hadn’t been for the informative email I later received from Jake, I would’ve already been looking for another career. * Journalism graduate, Michelle Nestor, nails her article thanks to expert advice from the King of Multiple Orgasms, Jake King. The piece is a big success and the magazine wants Jake to consult on an entire series about sex advice for women. Gina Godard, the senior writer, is back from sick leave and wants to take over the project, kicking Michelle to the curb. However, Jake King once again saves the day for Michelle, requesting her as his interviewer. It quickly becomes clear to Jake that Michelle never had an orgasm before, so imagine her surprise when Jake suggest a little showing instead of telling. Don’t miss Sex Coach, the latest stand-alone novel from USA Today’s Bestselling Author, M. S. Parker.

Will Captain Taylor find the woman he loves in post war France? And does she want to be found? And could the once traitor, spy, smuggler and Countess now really be a Nun?Countess Helga Burbeck was German, rich, spoilt and as arrogant and bossy as hell. To her, the war was nothing more than an inconvenience on her shopping trips to Berlin. But when she is walking her dogs, Tirpitz and Bismarck, on the far side of her estate, she discovers something that changes her life forever. Obersturmführer Meyer is an SS officer who works in the camp close to the Burbeck estate. He despises those in his charge and considers them to be no more than animals for the slaughter. But the arrogant Countess with a father who is a General in the Wehrmacht in Berlin was rapidly becoming a bigger nuisance than the smell from the burial pits. Helga’s discovery of Jewish children hiding on her estate leads her to investigate the nearby camp. What she finds there shocks her to the soul. She decides to take the children to France and somehow to safety. It begins as a self-destructive whim borne on the bitterness and anger of her discovery, but slowly and surely Helga is drawn inexorably down the path to smuggling and eventually, spying. She engages Jacob, one of the children, to help in her plans. And soon she is embroiled with the French Resistance. But her continued trips across occupied Europe to the South of France with “children from her estate” soon attract even more attention from Obersturmführer Meyer. It isn’t long before both know exactly what the other is doing; it becomes a game, but a game that will lead to final bloodshed in a French forest. Captain Taylor of the US Army has met Helga only once. But that meeting and everything he learns about her afterwards plants a seed of love that won’t stop growing. But Helga isn't easy to find once lost. And when Captain Taylor visits a Convent in the Southern French resort of Antibes in 1948 he soon finds out that the end of the war isn’t the end of the story.
