HELP! MY BREASTS ARE TAKING OVER THE WORLD!
An Hilarious Short Story of the Bizarre
Ebook only: Free!
(or $0.99 at non-participating outlets)

Margo’s breasts keep growing: beyond the control of bras, defying the expertise of doctors and freaking her out a little bit. But nothing prepares her for the day they grow mouths and strike up a conversation. Margo despairs as they cause a sensation with their first TV interview and control of her own body slips away. Can she fight back and remind her breasts of their true role, or will they get elected to political office and take over the world?

An hilarious short story of the bizarre. Both funny and touching as it taps into hidden fears that our bodies harbour their own agendas.

British author Jane Killick combines writing funny romantic comedies such as her novels Fairy Nuff and If Wishes Were Husbands, with a day job reading news for BBC local radio in the UK. Jane’s wonderful sense of humor is evident in her novels. In addition to her romantic comedy titles available in April-June 2014, readers will get the first sampling of her new science fiction series, Perceivers, in 2015.
 

                              


SPIRIT OF THE MOUNTAIN
Book one of the Spirit Trilogy
ISBN 9781940064833

Evil spirits, star-crossed lovers, and duty…which will prevail?

Wren, the daughter of a Nimiipuu chief, loves the mountain and her people—the Lake Nimmipuu.  When a warrior from the enemy Blackleg tribe asks for her hand in marriage to bring peace between the tribes, she knows it is how she must fulfill her vision quest. But she is torn between duty and her breaking heart.

Himiin, as spirit of the mountain, watches over all the creatures on his mountain, including the Nimiipuu. When Wren shows no fear of him as a white wolf, he listens to her secret fears and loses his heart to the mortal maiden. Respecting her people’s beliefs, he must watch her leave the mountain with the Blackleg warrior.

When an evil spirit threatens Wren’s life, Himiin rushes to save her. But to leave the mountain means he’ll turn to smoke…

SPIRIT OF THE LAKE
Book two in the Spirit Trilogy
ISBN 9781940064857

 Can a spirit set upon this earth to see to the good of the Nimiipuu stay true to justice when revenge burns in his heart?

Wewukiye, the lake spirit, saves a Nimiipuu maiden from drowning and bringing shame to herself and her family. Learning her people ignored her accusations against a White man who took her body, leaving her pregnant, Wewukiye vows to help her through the birth and to prove the White man’s deceit.

Dove slowly heals her heart and her distrust as Wewukiye, the warrior with hair the color of the sun, believes in her and helps her restore her faith in her people and herself.

On their quest for justice, Dove reveals spiritual abilities, ensnaring Wewukiye’s respect and awe. But will these abilities seal their future or tear them apart?

SPIRIT OF THE SKY
Book three of the Spirit Trilogy
ISBN 9781940064871

Can enemies not only work for peace but find love?

Sa-qan, a Nimiipuu eagle spirit, must take a human form to save her mortal niece when the Nimiipuu are forced from their land by the U.S. Army. Sa-qan strives to remain true to her spirit world and her people, but finding an ally in a Cavalry Officer has unraveled her beliefs.

During battle with the Nimiipuu, Lt. Wade Watts finds a blonde woman hiding a Nez Perce child. He believes she is a captive when her intelligent eyes reveal she understands his language. Yet she refuses his help. Their paths cross several times during the skirmishes, and she becomes his savior when renegade warriors wound him.

Paty Jager is an award-winning author, wife, mother, grandmother, and the one who cleans pens and delivers the hay. Paty and her husband currently ranch 350 acres in central and eastern Oregon. She not only writes the western lifestyle, she lives it.

Her novels, anthologies, and novellas have Western or Native American elements in them along with hints of humor and engaging characters. Her penchant for research takes her on side trips that eventually turn into yet another story.
