Just Cruzin’ is the true story of my two-month, 16,246-mile transcontinental motorcycle ride. From my home in Southwest Michigan, I first rode south to Key West Florida...my southernmost starting point. From there, I began a journey that took me through New Orleans and west to tour Big Bend National Park on the Rio Grande in Texas. Riding north through El Paso, I intersected with the Continental Divide in New Mexico and crisscrossed it through the Rocky Mountain range across the Canadian border. The awe-inspiring Canadian Rockies were a treat to behold as I continued north. I rode the entire length of the Alaska Highway, from Dawson Creek, British Columbia, through the Yukon to Fairbanks. During the return trip through the most remote areas of the far northwestern wilderness of British Columbia, I was plagued by mechanical difficulties. A weekend visit with friends near Edmonton, Alberta, provided me with the repairs required to complete my goal, culminating at the Black Hills Motorcycle Rally in Sturgis, South Dakota. This was a monumental project that was years in the planning. I endured vast climate changes, encountered wild animals, mechanical failures, and narrowly escaped death on the highways of North America. This is a day-by-day account of my ultimate motorcycle ride of a lifetime.
What happens when a girl with the worst luck ever meets a guy with all the luck in the world? Risk assessor Charley Claybourne has always known her luck pretty much... well, sucks. Getting soaked in lactose-free chocolate milk thanks to a hunkylicious, blue-eyed stranger is bad enough. But discovering that he’s her new billionaire client, and could make or break her career? Oh hi, it’s me, the icing on top of the world’s most craptastic cake. Now Charley has to decide if Chris Lachlan, Disney prince made flesh, is a good risk to be CEO of his family’s billion-dollar corporation. You know, if a reckless adrenaline junkie—who eats the unhealthiest food known to man and has dated cartel princesses, thieves, and actual spies—could ever qualify as the “good” kind of risk. But Charley isn’t immune to the charms of this hot, trouble-seeking billionaire. And as luck would have it, she’ll have to choose between trashing her career... or falling head-over-broken-heels for the biggest risk of her life. Each book in the Winning the Billionaire series is STANDALONE: * 69 Million Things I Hate About You * The Billionaire's Unexpected Baby * Scotland or Bust * Pushing His Luck
Kris Ellis’ debut novel follows Matt Pearce, OCD sufferer, low-achiever, film fanatic and Jack Kerouac enthusiast, who reaches an existential crossroads. He finds himself looking back on a life thus far of dead-end jobs, binge drinking, encounters with aggressive locals, sessions with therapists, and failed relationships with alluring but ‘head-doing’ young teenage girls. When one of these relationships, with an abused teenager called S., goes badly wrong, Matt flees the country and undertakes a Greyhound bus journey across the USA, partly to escape from S., partly as a pilgrimage to Kerouac’s final resting place, partly to pitch his draft indie movie script to an unsuspecting Hollywood, but mostly to find himself. Matt's journey takes him from New York to Los Angeles via stopovers in Boston, Lowell, Chicago and Las Vegas. He travels across a variegated geographical and mental landscape which provides him with edgy encounters and glimpses of an existential NOW amidst flashbacks from his childhood, adolescence in Freetown, formative relationships with Mona, Alice and S., Socratic dialogues with his ‘head doctor’, movie-making ambitions and struggling attempts to write his own life script. temporoparietal is a candid, semi-documentary teenage beat novel, told through the hand-held camera-pen of its young adult narrator. The story is written in an experimental colloquial style resembling a philosophical, vigorously delivered stand-up comedy routine about being alive and young in the modern world. Author Kris Ellis describes his protagonist’s state of consciousness as existing somewhere between Holden Caulfield and Bill Hicks. Influenced by J.D. Salinger, Jack Kerouac and Michel Houellebecq, temporoparietal will appeal to readers looking for an edgy, thought-provoking contemporary novel exploring modern youth in search of its soul.
To fit with the times, I first felt a need to pass along information in small tidbits that can be digested before they quickly melt into the next month. But the topic of divorce is closer to the hard-to-shallow aftertaste of life. Tidbits are short burst of flavor. They are for entertainment. Divorce is not entertainment.

There was one rule and a million reasons not to break it. But one thing was worth risking it all…him. I am having my dream job. And my family needs me to keep this job or they’ll end up on the streets. Except there is one massive problem. I’ve fallen head over heels for my Rockstar boss. He’s a rock n roll heartthrob and I’m a nobody who’s nearly homeless. Hitting on the bandmates is forbidden and results in immediate termination. So I tried to avoid him as much as possible. But when he offers me a secret job that requires me to be with him almost 24/7, I can’t say no. When we finally kiss I’m left craving an encore. If anyone found out what we’ve been doing on the side, both our lives will be ruined forever…

Imagine suffering a traumatic brain injury. Imagine being in a mental ward when your lover deserts you. Imagine relinquishing the successful business you cultivated from the ground up. Imagine being told to vacate your home of over ten years. Imagine watching, dumbfounded, as friends take flight from your life. Imagine being stripped of your sense of purpose, your identity. Worst of all, imagine losing your mind. Skyler Raye doesn’t have to imagine these things, as she has lived them. But that was just the beginning of her nightmare. Mini-vacations in inpatient mental hospitals followed, coupled with way too many prescription drugs. Storm after storm slammed into Skyler’s life; her struggle to stay afloat seemed hopeless, particularly to her. Through it all, Skyler religiously expelled her turbulence into dozens of journals and “art therapy” projects. A compilation of these journals, “Facing Face” is her map out of hell. It takes you along her journey through and out of the darkness, and offers hope to those out there hurting for whatever reason. Skyler details how she was able to grasp onto that one pinhole of light, and learned it is not so much what happens to you, but how you react to it. A sense of humor also helps.
