A Growing CHAOS by Kris P. Kreme<\/p><\/div>\n

Aaron’s wife Lucy writes articles that shape the world into a better place. She tackles important issues, protecting and serving her readers. But the article she is close to publishing may take away all protection her family has from one of the most chaotic terrorist groups on the planet.<\/p>\n

Controlling the CHAOS is the article, a source helping her dig up the inner workings of S.M.U.T. But after they target her through new bras from a fashion site she ordered for her and daughter Dakota, neither may be able to avoid a truly chaotic fate.<\/p>\n

Anything the bras touch grows, and only a man’s touch can stop or restrain that growth. Can Aaron save the day, or is S.M.U.T. too devious to beat?<\/p>\n

Now On Smashwords!<\/a><\/p>\n

Now On Amazon!<\/a><\/p>\n

The heat is growing HOTTER and one woman has a big article that might just leave more than her public accolades BIGGER. <\/p>\n

It’s a typical sunny August morning around Aaron’s home, as he steps up to knock on the door frame to his beautiful wife Lucy’s office, offering her coffee. And it couldn’t come at a better time since Lucy has been up since before dawn working on the final touches to an expos\u00e9 article that may just put her on the cover of TIME magazine.<\/p>\n

As they sip their coffees, Lucy reveals the title of this article Controlling the CHAOS, an article that may just be the first nail in the coffin for the notoriously unpredictable and deadly group known as S.M.U.T. But has her source provided her with the protection she needed? Is everything as safe publishing such a dangerously intense article as she is about to publish?<\/p>\n

Aaron isn’t so sure, especially concerned for the safety of their daughter Dakota, a woman of twenty he still treats like a little girl. If anything, Lucy has always been assertive and confident in handling things safely, especially where family is concerned, but maybe she has been distracted by other things, namely buying some new bras and panties on a fashion site for she and Dakota.<\/p>\n

If Aaron was uncomfortable before, he is more so at the thought of lacy underwear for their daughter who has a date coming over later. Naturally Lucy is her usual confident self, assuring Aaron that things are good, and most important their daughter is not a child, a grown woman with a twenty-one year old man coming to take her out. Aaron needs to lighten up about such things.<\/p>\n

After the fashion order arrives as Lucy is debating the title of her article before publishing, Aaron’s definitely not lightening up when he happens to see the bra his wife laid over some cantaloupes in the kitchen to display for him doing something no bra should do. <\/p>\n

The cantaloupes are growing, filling the cups of that bra more and more, and upon checking the details of the order, Lucy realizes she’s been tracked down… the bras having something called Specially Made Underwire Threading… just one of S.M.U.T.s predictable calling cards. <\/p>\n

Whatever the bras touch grows, but as Aaron lays his hands on the bra, the growth immediately stops. And Lucy realizes that is the only possible chance to save their daughter who unfortunately just got changed and put on her new bra. <\/p>\n

Can Lucy figure a way out of the mess she unintentionally exposed her family to? Will Aaron be able to deal with taking a more hands on approach to helping than he ever imagined? And will S.M.U.T.s message be received to never mess with their chaotic global intentions? There’s a growing threat facing the world… but more importantly, there’s A Growing CHAOS!<\/p>\n
