Available for JUST 99 CENTS is The Migraine Mafia by Maia Sepp (Click for UK, Australia, Canada or India purchase). Why not grab a copy today?

 




BOOK DESCRIPTION
On paper, Viive McBroome lives the perfect life--a key player in a fast-paced, technical field, one promotion away from real success--but that's only if you ignore one little problem.

Sandwiched between one migraine and the next, Viive's life is like those choose-your-own-adventure books you read as a kid, only less fun and with a lot more drugs. And lately, as her bosses politely march her toward a vacation that might never end, even the good days feel like a struggle for survival.

Faced with frustration from her loved ones and the dark machinations of a new colleague, Viive feels herself getting pulled under by guilt, apologies, and workplace shenanigans. But then she meets the Migraine Mafia, a quirky, vibrant support group, and her fragile camouflage begins to crumble. She discovers that a room full of strangers just might be able to change the way she views her illness--and realizes that if she doesn't learn to ask for help, her health isn't the only thing she stands to lose.

Sometimes painful, frequently hilarious, always entertaining, The Migraine Mafia is the story of one woman's life-altering decision to thrive in the face of chronic illness.

Available for JUST 99 CENTS is  An Etiquette Guide to the End Times: A Novella by Maia Sepp (Click here for UK purchase or Canadian purchase ).  Why not pick up a copy now?




BOOK DESCRIPTION
There aren’t any zombies (yet), but the world is still at the brink of destruction: It’s 2028 and global warming has led to rising oceans, crazy weather, and resource scarcity. On top of that, someone just turned the Internet off. Seeing as how it’s humanity’s last chance to turn things around manners are, understandably, a bit frayed.

Bookish etiquette buff Olive O’Malley is busy microfarming her urban property and minding her own business (and her chickens) when the government comes calling. Their goal is to push the populace towards carbon-neutrality while keeping kvetching to a minimum, and they come with a proposal: transition Olive’s popular etiquette column to a radio show for the masses, and they’ll help Olive find her grandfather, who’s gone missing.

Olive doesn’t trust the hipster government officials who try to bribe her with delicious-but-probably-a-little-evil chocolate pastries, and declines their offer. (Politely, of course.) But they won't take no for an answer, and soon Olive is knee-deep in turmoil, eco-terrorism, and missing chickens. Now she has to untangle herself from their demands and figure out how to make sure her family (and her poultry) are safe before it’s too late.

REVIEWS
5.0 out of 5 stars Everything's Falling Politely Apart June 3, 2014
Format:Kindle Edition
Although chickens are mentioned several times in the synopsis, this novella is less about poultry and more about an alarming future that seems completely (and disconcertingly) possible. Olive is an appealing and resourceful heroine stuck in an internet-less Toronto where civilization is on the verge of collapse (or has it collapsed already?), having pot-growing neighbours is like striking gold, and everyone is still sort of getting along... for now. The descriptions of the city and the way people are living their lives in this new world are really fascinating and well done. And, as always, there's a healthy dose of humour thrown in. Looking forward to finding out what happens next!
