This series is dedicated to… Jackie Collins is the biggest inspiration in my life when it comes to writing, if not the only inspiration. She had the passion; the brains, the ballsy rollicking attitude, and the kind of life that made me want to be her. And to the three Stefanovic brothers, Carlos, Pedro, and Tomas, without whom I would not have had names for my porn stars. In the tradition of the bonkbustingly good Jackie Collins comes L.J. Diva’s Porn Star Brothers series. Follow the meteoric rise of 70s Porn Star, Tomas Stefan, and the rocky path he took to find the life and love he craved in the Porn Star Brothers series. Tomas Stephanopoulos is the second of three Australian born and Greek Island raised brothers. He loves his job as a personal trainer and has no interest in emulating his elder brother by bedding all of the eligible women on the island. He lives the good life, training the ladies at the island’s resort, and taking on personal clients at night. Then he meets one client who wants more than personal training. A client who wants intimate training. With his brothers on the run, he chooses to spread his wings and moves to Miami to personally train the ladies who were his clients back on Mykonos. After meeting the love of his life he moves into porn movies with a new name and a new life, but the drama has followed him from home and continues with his lover’s car being trashed, porn stars being killed off, and a double kidnapping that leads to a dramatic car chase across the country. And it all comes down to one person... One person who’s out to end the life of Tomas Stephanopoulos... Tomas is the third novella in the Porn Star Brothers contemporary romance series featuring the sizzlingly sexy middle Greek Australian bad boy brother. If you like family sagas, heartfelt romances and dancing to ’70s disco, then you’ll love the latest instalment in L.J. Diva’s page-turning series.

There has been much talk of late about how the continuing financial turmoil will find expression in the arts. Will the literature of this depression match the quality of that created in the 1930s? Impossible to précis its narrative, Palumbo's story weaves and curves its way around the adventures of Tomas, a young man ensconced in a world of wealth, privilege and corruption. Like Candide and Gulliver before him, Tomas's adventures will startle the reader's imagination, yet linger in her mind. What seems grotesque, even impossible, has already happened ... For excess of imagination, passion, outrage, death and love, greed and vice, often provide a clearer view of life.

What do a Human orphan, a Spider, two Leaf Bugs, two Scorpions, and a Megalong have in common? ADVENTURE! Unbeknownst to Tomas, a malevolent creature plans to destroy him and all he loves. He thought he was ready for his Emergence, but that was before the fate of the realms was laid on his shoulders. Now he must use all he has learned, and find the courage to save himself and the interconnected worlds and creatures that he has come to love.

Tomas Young’s War is the tragic yet life affirming story of a paralyzed Iraq War veteran who spent his last ten years battling heroically with his injuries, while courageously speaking against America's wars. Based on hours of interviews with Young and those close to him, the book puts the reader alongside Young as he struggles with life as a paralyzed veteran, suffering frustration and humiliation as he attempts to reenter society and resume as normal an existence as possible. It shows his fight to balance his precarious health with his drive to speak out for veterans care and against the war, and the impact his catastrophic injuries had on his family and his relationships. This emotional and powerful book sheds light on many crucial but often overlooked issues such as veterans’ care, public attitudes toward the disabled, medical marijuana, and the terminally ill. Tomas Young’s War shares everything, as unflinchingly honest as Tomas himself: the depression, the pain, the love, and laughter . . . the life of this man whose world was turned upside down by an Iraqi bullet more than ten years ago. Throughout, it serves as a powerful testament to the true cost of war.
