The Earthspark by Vanessa Thurgood

A forgotten magic emerges as the primordial Guardians stir. Darkness is on the fringe, and it’s hunting for the one person who could set it free.

The Earthspark, a cursed power that nearly destroyed Nienna’s family a thousand years ago, has appeared once more, and she’s the one holding the knife.

As her ill-fated power grows, the number of dark creatures bent on seeing her dead increases. If that weren’t bad enough, the Guardians have reappeared, and the elements are on the move. Nienna must choose to embrace the Earthspark or live the rest of her life like a hunted animal.

However, accepting the Earthspark means her family’s greatest enemy may be her only ally in the fight against the rising evil of the Fire Witch. With her choice in the balance, the fate of her people rests on the untried shoulders of Tellidus’s second-born and the infamous Guardian of Earth.

“The Earthspark” is the first novel in the Comstock Chronicles. It’s a clean young adult epic fantasy that will take you on a journey of elemental magic, love, honor, and family. This book is for readers who love fantasy with adventure, betrayals, and a slow-burn romance with a heroine who just wants to live her own life.

Praise for The Earthspark:

★★★★★ “The plot twists were perfect. I don’t want to give anything away, but I found myself changing my opinions of support characters along with Nienna. I highly recommend this book and can’t wait for the second book to come out.”

★★★★★ Romance….check, adventure….check, an exciting tale that makes you dream of what happens next…check! This book has all the goods. I love the characters and the storyline! I completely fell in love with Tel and can’t wait to read the next book in the series!

★★★★★ The wilderness of Tellidus is powerfully evocative, and the characters are so rich and vibrant that I read it all in one sitting. I can’t wait for the next book in the Comstock Chronicles. If you love epic fantasy, I highly recommend you check this out!

Author Bio:

I’m going to be honest, I didn’t go to college to write, but my teachers always told me I was good at it. I even had one professor get me to sign one of my homework assignments because he thought I had written it so well. However, I chose to go into Agricultural Business and Event Planning, NOT writing.

Flash forward several years, and I find myself finally penning out the worst rough draft of what was to become The Earthspark in the dead of night. All because of a dream I’d just had. It will be a dream I’ll never forget. But again, I put it aside until I found myself a mom wanting to listen to a good book but couldn’t find anything appropriate to listen to with kids in the room.

At this time, I pulled out that handwritten draft of my book and decided that if I couldn’t find a clean book to read for adults, I was going to write one. So I did, and now I can’t stop.

Now, you may find me out exploring the rugged landscape that makes up my home and the worlds I create. Or I may be sitting in front of my fireplace enjoying a slice of hot fresh bread and homemade jam while reading the next book on my TO-BE-READ list.

I’ve always adored fantasy books, movies, whatever, and have loved every minute I get to dive into the world I created for you.

Pleasure Party: An unputdownable psychological thriller by Hugh O. Smith

In a New Jersey suburb two best friends host a Pleasure Party.
It’s supposed to be a fun gathering with decadent snacks and homemade sangria.
At least that’s the plan, until a gun-wielding guest out for revenge takes the party hostage.

Laura is angry. You would be too if some young hussy stole your husband and ruined your life. But now Laura finally caught up to her and she’ll show her and this bunch of other losers just what happens to homewreckers.

Bianca has a secret… one that could tear her family apart. She did the worst thing she could have done with the last person in the world she should have done it with. Thank God she’s got a BFF like…

Kristin was shocked when Bianca confided in her. But she’s got a secret too. One that she’ll never tell. She’s breaking the biggest rule in the BFF rulebook.

Veronica didn’t mean to fall for a married man but what’s done is done. A bitter, angry Laura is after her for taking her husband, but what Laura doesn’t know is Veronica is not as helpless as she seems.

Tina is a mom, a wife, and executive. She’s busy. Like all busy people she needs stress relief and hers is her young lover Maya. But Maya caught feelings. She’s not playing her position. And now Tina’s got a decision to make.

Maya knew what she was getting into. Side chick – why not? It’ll be fun. Or so she thought. Now Maya is in love. Deeply! But her lover Tina will never give up her career, 2.5 kids and suburban life. But Maya’s love is strong. She’ll convince Tina. Eventually!

Brooke started at the bottom now she’s here. But “here” doesn’t do it for her. “Here” doesn’t scratch that itch. So she goes back to the “bottom” to get what she needs. And she never leaves unscathed. The “bottom” leaves marks. Bruises. Scars. And she wouldn’t have it any other way.

Life is great for Gloria! Money, beautiful home, healthy grandkids, a serial cheater for a husband. Ok, well maybe not so great. But you wouldn’t know it looking at her. Gloria is all about image, so she makes sure everything looks… Perfect. But that takes a toll. Holding it all in, makes her angry. And now, she just might have an outlet for all that anger.

Deepa doesn’t ask for much. Just a little #love and appreciation. Sadly, she never gets it. So she’s through asking. She’s going to find it on her own. Any way she can.

Jessica is a hustler. She works hard. Things are good, but her husband doesn’t think so. He thinks something is wrong with their relationship. He claims he loves her. But she can’t trust his love. She wants to… But how?

It’s not long before the terrifying scenario affects all the women present. Bold truths are spoken. Secrets long kept in the dark are dragged kicking and screaming into the light, and unexpected bonds formed. No one will be the same and maybe not everyone will survive to tell about it.

Fans of Paula Hawkins and Kiersten Modglin will enjoy this warped novel of love, lust, revenge and terrible, terrible choices.

Author Bio:
Chris Odegard is an average guy who had a white-collar job in the corporate world and followed the only thing he knew for decades, conventional wisdom and conventional investments. This worked relatively well until 2009, when he experienced an illiquidity event where he lost 55% of his assets and thousands of dollars per month in cash flow. Then, Chris read Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad Poor Dad, and his mind was opened to a different type of investing, investing in real assets and private deals mostly insulated from the volatility, risk, and taxation of the stock market. In just nine years, Chris recouped the 55% he had lost and multiplied it many times over and now shares his experience and knowledge with you through his alternative investment blog and his book Get off Your A$$ and Manage Your Money: Why You Need Alternative Investments.

About Family Found – A DNA Journey

I am grateful being adopted as a toddler and having an early life of mostly fond memories. My adoptive mother had passed, and my adoptive father remarried. I had a good career and a family of my own. But, being adopted nagged at me. I learned that I had a brother or sister somewhere. So, it was time to find out about my biological parents and what, if any, inheritable medical issues were in store for the future. This book tells you how I went about my successful research from “official” documentation prior to DNA, to the more recent discoveries that include my DNA relatives. This book contains examples of what you might run into if you’re looking for your biological family. There is a lot of food for thought. If you are adopted or looking for your biological family, this may be one of the most important books you will ever read.

About The Kitos War: A Captivating Guide to One of the Jewish–Roman Wars by Captivating History

Did you know that Lusius Quietus, for whom the Kitos War was named, was one of only a few African commanders to attain the rank of senator for his services in the Roman army?

Lusius Quietus was the military commander responsible for helping quell one of the biggest rebellions in Roman history. The conflict was named the Kitos War, but how much do we know about it?

The topic itself, much like other major Jewish revolts against Rome, is difficult to discuss due to the scarcity of historical evidence. But in this handy tome, you’ll learn some of the basics of the Kitos War. We have included facts and hypotheses constructed from available historical data found in scrolls, inscriptions, statues, and archaeological findings.

In this book, you’ll learn the potential true nature of the conflict, one of the few rebellions that sprawled across three continents and still had the character of a nationalistic, populist revolution, a rarity in the ancient world. You will also see both the Jews and the Romans in a new light.

Aside from that, you’ll also learn the answers to the following questions:
• What were some of the short-term and long-term causes of the revolt?
• What were the relations between Jews and other people groups in both Judea and the Diaspora?
• How did the Romans treat the Jews?
• How did events from the First Jewish Revolt possibly affect the anti-Roman sentiment among the Jews?
• Was the revolt a result of a coordinated attack or simply a string of multiple coinciding rebellions?
• Did Emperors Trajan and Hadrian play a major role in the Jewish revolts?
• What was the economic impact of the fighting?
• How did the outcome of the war affect the surviving Jews in the empire?
• And so much more!

About In Him You Are: Trusting God with Who You Are, What You Have, and How He Sees You

In Him – You Are: Trusting God with Who You Are, What You Have, and How He Sees You.
This book focuses on a simple truth: those who have put their faith in Christ have what it takes to live victoriously. Christ-followers are first and foremost children of God. We are treasured by the God of the universe. Our faith in Christ makes us complete “in Him” even though we struggle with faults and failures, habits and hang-ups, weaknesses and wants. The completeness that comes through Christ gives us a new perspective on everything. In Him, we experience an active love that propels us forward into living an abundant life marked by growth. In Him, we overcome the lies of Satan and live a life that glorifies God the Father. In Him, we trust God as a provider learning to be content with what we have while living a generous life. In Christ, we come into a relationship with God the Father – who delights in us! This book calls its readers to accept an invitation to live the life God intended them to live – not based on past failures but on the power of Christ that makes them new.
