Velvet Dreams

A sexy collection of stories where three unlikely women lust over men that they can’t seem to have…or can they?

 

It’s cuffing season, and all the girls need is…

 

A secretary who can’t stop drooling over her boss’ snug shirts.
An erotica writer who is in desperate need of some inspiration.
A divorced woman who is trying to keep her ex-husband at arm’s length.

 

These three women have nothing in common—except for their thirst for the unlikely men in their lives. On cold, lonely nights, all the girls need is some steamy erotica! So, turn the lights down and settle in for a wild ride.

Virtually in Love

A former hitman who wants to reconnect with someone he failed to kill, a ghost who hopes his old flame can fall in love with his best friend, a frost giant, and a Minotaur adjusting to immortalization… and inevitably falling in love. What do all these stories have in common? They all follow couples who fall head over heels virtually. From Facetime to Zoom and everything in between, these lovers will discover that love doesn’t know what distance is. And you can find your soulmate, yes, even on a screen.

 

Weather Or Not

Spring is abundant with endless possibilities and breezy blooms. After the cold shoulder of winter, Spring is a warm hug. Some await it in sweet anticipation, some dread its arrival. Three curious characters are facing their own dilemmas with the seasonal change:

A woman has a strange first date rule assured to lead to the death of the relationship before it even really begins.

 

A young violinist has a love-hate relationship with Vivaldi’s concerto, The Four Seasons.

 

Weather the season of spring with them as they grapple with their own lives—will they blossom or whither?

 

Saga brings to you Weather or Not, a seasonal anthology which will explore the emotions of the four seasons through the year: spring, summer, fall and winter.

Why Politicians Lie About Trade: … and What You Need to Know About It

‘Why Politicians Lie About Trade…’ explains how international trade in goods and services actually works and the compromises and concessions nations must make to take part in this $32 trillion-a-year jamboree: the greatest commercial show on earth.

 

Daily we can see the fruits of international trade on display on the shelves of shops, from American oranges to Chinese mobile phones to Kenyan coffee. But hidden from view is the geopolitical wiring that allows global cross-border trade to make it all happen: a network of treaties, tariffs, taxes and disputes that is remote and unintelligible to most people. Until now.

 

With clear, often humorous writing and case studies, former trade negotiator Dmitry Grozoubinski takes readers through the intricacies and surprises of global commerce. He reveals the underlying political and geographical forces that shape trade policy and our everyday lives. He spells out the impact of trade treaties on topics such as food, jobs, gender conflict and climate. And he reveals what politicians cover-up about the system— and why it matters.

 

A companion to books such as How to Lie With Statistics, Why Politicians Lie About Trade illuminates a much misunderstood and underestimated network that is vital to our modern interconnected world. With the US-China trade war, Brexit, and other disputes regularly hitting the headlines (and sometimes our nerves), grasping how trade actually works has never been more important.
