If you love a magical story with the right amount of satire and wit, take look at today’s HOT NEW Release, Magnus Opum by Jonathan Gould. It currently has an impressive 4.4 star rating with over 20 reviews. A.F. Stewart calls Magnus Opum a, “whimsical fantasy novel, that trips along the path fantastic…The characters are both amusing and appealing, and carry the reader blithely along on the adventure…. It strikes a perfect balance of odd and sincere and I give it an enthusiastic recommend.”
A Little About Magnus Opum:
Magnus Opum is an epic fantasy that’s slightly skewed – Tolkien with a twist. “At the end of the day, the story of Magnus Mandalora of the small homely village of Lower Kertoob is fun, funny, educational, and a master work of both parody AND satire rolled into an easy-to-read family-friendly story.” – Jeremy Rodden, author of Kindle bestselling cartoon novel – Toonopolis: Gemini (Toonopolis Files, #1)
About the Author:
Jonathan Gould has lived in Melbourne, Australia all his life, except when he hasn’t. He has written comedy sketches for both the theatre and radio, as well as several published children’s books for the educational market.
He likes to refer to his stories as dag-lit because they don’t easily fit into recognisable genres (dag is Australian slang for a person who is unfashionable and doesn’t follow the crowd – but in an amusing and fun way). You might think of them as comic fantasies, or modern fairytales for the young and the young-at-heart.
What Readers are Saying about Magnus Opum:
“Do you ever get one of those moments when you want to lose yourself in a book that is totally magical, brimming with imagination and fantasy, and entertaining from start to finish? This book by the very talented Jonathan Gould is the very thing that delivers on all counts.” – cnkbookreviews.blogspot.com
“Jonathan Gould is a master at “Adult Fables”…Turning his talents to a full length novel – Magnus Opum – Gould creates an even richer world and experience…” – reviewmybookonamazon.wordpress.com
“Magnus Opum is a wonderful story – there’s no doubt about that. Magnus has a quest and he embraces it fully, it takes him to new places and he encounters new races during his adventures. However, it’s the things that Magnus learns that really make this story shine for me.” – bookbagsandcatnaps.com

Some Praise for Sexy Babe:
“Lot’s of plot turns and humorous story telling, you want to keep reading. I suggest his “Dead and not so Buried” as well.” –Randall Tuttle
“I really enjoyed this book and give it five stars. I found it to be quite witty. I enjoyed the twists as well. The fact that I am a criminal defense attorney in Los Angeles had me constantly recalling areas that I had dealt with in various types of cases and acknowledging similarities to situations that I encountered in my cases over the years. Mr. Conway apparently did a great deal of research.” –Michael Adelson
“Sexy Babe has more hairpin turns than Lombard Street. I was hooked from the very first page. Conway has set this delicious (and irreverent) mystery against a Hollywood that only a true insider could understand… a reality check for anyone blinded by the false mystique of “Hollywood”. Get ready for the real deal, including lots of twists, some LOLs and plenty of WTFs.” –Pete Case

Hi there, Kindle readers. Check out this clever and witty read by author Joanna Louise Johnson. Whether you are male or female, progressive or conservative, white, black, brown, red, yellow or green, A Fashion of Bastards provides an equal opportunity for all to laugh (and scream) at our beloved democracy and the ordinary human frailty that derails it. It has a whopping 5 star rating with 18 reviews.
A Little About A Fashion of Bastards:
When Lacey Ames arrives in Washington to ‘marry up’ and take a job on Capitol Hill, she looks poised to capture the fast-fading American dream. Her handsome fiance has already hitched their wagon to Vice President Marvin’s rising star, and her new boss, popular Senator George, has given her the assignment of her dreams: to protect the mysteriously dwindling Great Lakes.
From solving a soldier shortage by drafting ‘illegal’ immigrants to selling a private pipeline into Lake Michigan and framing Japan for terrorism, Lacey’s opposition will do absolutely anything to achieve their goals. The question is what will Lacey do to achieve hers? Nothing and no one is spared as A Fashion of Bastards drags current U.S. culture clashes over energy, immigration, gender ethics, warfare and water kicking and screaming to their logical, over-the-top conclusions.
About the Author:
Suburban Chicago native Joanna Louise Johnson writes novels, screenplays, and a blog @ joannalouisejohnson.com entitled “The Love & Laughter Cure for Politics.” Several of Joanna’s dark comedies, including A FASHION OF BASTARDS, were inspired by her adventures–and occasional misadventures–as an environmental lawyer and government relations specialist in Washington, D.C., the Midwest, and Montana.
What People Are Saying About A Fashion of Bastards:
“A Fashion of Bastards is a living example of my own credo: One person’s logic is another person’s humor. Read it and decide for yourself.” ~Paul Krassner, author of Confessions of a Raving, Unconfined Nut: Misadventures in the Counterculture.
“The author’s corrosive wit and deft handling of the political absurdities of Capitol Hill are but two elements of what makes A Fashion of Bastards a novel which is both humorous and unsettling.” ~Michael Hogan, author of Risky Business, Irish Soldiers of Mexico and Imperfect Geographies.
“The urge to laugh is constant here, but the novel’s baseline of seriousness, especially about international politics and the destruction of the Great Lakes, remains a major chord of apprehension. A Fashion of Bastards is finally a comic romance introducing a new Heroine and her dog, who will hopefully fight another day, in another novel.” ~Robert T. Self, author of Robert Altman’s McCabe & Mrs. Miller: Reframing the American West and Robert Altman’s Subliminal Reality.
