Val has enjoyed the steamy benefits of her relationship with her nerdy boyfriend, Tim—the way he pumps up her freckled jugs to ridiculous sizes and swells her muscles until she’s thick and tight—but in the back of mind, she has always felt like something is missing. Like she’s not enough. Perhaps, Val wonders, it is because she has been a cripple for years. Are those countless hours spent pounding iron at the gym really just a desperate effort to compensate for the cane she depends on, or her lame, scarred leg that doctors say will never work right again? How can a 20-year-old woman be so fit and attractive yet walk—or rather, limp—around harboring such humiliation? Especially when she used to be such a legendary athlete? Sometimes the shame is more than the busty redhead can bear. Then one day Val wakes up healed. She can run, she can jump, she can train without restraint. Her head spins with ambition. She enters the Bayou Brawl, a track-and-field competition that pits Val against the biggest, baddest female athletes around. Her body in peak form, Val thinks winning will be simple. But things are never simple when the growth power is involved. There are a few problems standing in Val’s way more daunting than mere hurdles and high-jumps: • It wasn’t her boyfriend that healed her . . . but another man that schemes to win over the gorgeous ginger’s heart. • Sleeping within Val is an ancient evil that dreams of world domination . . . and it’s finally waking up. • Her boyfriend thinks with his you-know-what rather than his brain most of the time . . . and there’s no telling how he’ll use his growth powers when the going gets tough. Sure, Tim promised Val he wouldn’t interfere with the competition by growing her muscles to give her an advantage. But what happens when it’s Val’s athletic rival Cheyenne who unexpectedly grows big, dripping jugs that expand more and more, the creamy cans hindering her progress slowly but surely in the grand race for first place? Could Tim really be that dumb? Probably. But as Val knows firsthand . . . appearances can be deceiving. This story is Book 6 of an erotic romance series featuring egregious breast expansion and female muscle growth.

With the tension and excitement of a novelist, and the humor of a Mark Twain, soldier-scholar John G. Bourke wrote about one of the most important battles of the Great Sioux War, of which he was a participant. John Bourke’s contribution to the history of the so-called Indian Wars cannot be overestimated. It is not as a soldier that he is best remembered, but as an anthropologist, ethnologist, folklorist, scientist, and writer—amazing for a man who was in uniform from the ages of 16 to 50. Here he detailed Ranald MacKenzie's final fight with the Cheyenne under Dull Knife in the bitter cold of winter, 1876. These were some of the same warriors who had months earlier sent General George Armstrong Custer and five companies of 7th Cavalry troopers to an early grave at the Little Bighorn. Written as only Bourke could have done, this short account is a forgotten American classic. For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.

A Plains tribe that subsisted on the buffalo, the Cheyennes depended for survival on the valor and skill of their braves in the hunt and in battle. The fiery spirit of the young warriors was balanced by the calm wisdom of the tribal headmen, the peace chiefs, who met yearly as the Council of the Forty-four. "A Cheyenne chief was required to be a man of peace, to be brave, and to be of generous heart," writes Stan Hoig. "Of these qualities the first was unconditionally the most important, for upon it rested the moral restraint required for the warlike Cheyenne Nation." As the Cheyennes began to feel the westward crush of white civilization in the nineteenth century, a great burden fell to the peace chiefs. Reconciliation with the whites was the tribe's only hope for survival, and the chiefs were the buffers between their own warriors and the United States military, who were out to "win the West." The chiefs found themselves struggling to maintain the integrity of their people-struggling against overwhelming military forces, against disease, against the debauchery brought by "firewater," and against the irreversible decline of their source of livelihood, the buffalo. They were trapped by history in a nearly impossible position. Their story is a heroic epic and, oftentimes, a tragedy. No single book has dealt as intensively as this one with the institution of the peace chiefs. The author has gleaned significant material from all available published sources and from contemporary newspapers. A generous selection of photographs and extensive quotations from ninteteenth-century observers add to the authenticity of the text. Following a brief analysis of the Sweet Medicine legend and its relation to the Council of the Forty-four, the more prominent nineteenth-century chiefs are treated individually in a lucid, felicitous style that will appeal to both students and lay readers of Indian history. As adopted Cheyenne chief Boyce D. Timmons says in his preface to this volume, "Great wisdom, intellect, and love are expressed by the remarkable Cheyenne chiefs, and if you enter their tipi with an open heart and mind, you might have some understanding of the great 'Circle of Life.'"
