Too Far to Whisper by Arianna Eastland
About Too Far to Whisper by Arianna Eastland
In 17th-century New England, Rosalind Chandler’s complete lack of interest in ever becoming a bride is a constant source of speculation and gossip in town.
Then a twist of fate delivers two men – enemies of each other – into her life on the same day. Although both men initially intrigue her, one soon turns her blood cold, while the other heats it to a degree she is unable to comprehend…or deny. Soon her resolve never to wed begins to crumble.
The problem is, the proposal of marriage comes from the wrong man…and he refuses to be denied.
This book is permanently free and the first in a trilogy, but can be considered a stand-alone.

Author Bio:
Hi!
I’m Arianna Eastland, a native New Englander who, at a young age, developed a fascination for the Native-American culture and history in the Northeast. This not only led me to read everything I could find on the subject, it also inspired me, years later, to begin penning historical romance novels featuring Native-American heroes.
I must confess that my writing habits are somewhat unconventional. When I sit down to write, I never have a particular plot in mind and never write a preliminary outline. I just let the story and emotions unfold and flow as I go along. Also, I never know how the book is going to end until I actually write the final page.
Believe me, writing books that are set back in the 1600s has its challenges – first and foremost, deciphering the language that was used back then. Not only did many of the words we use today mean something entirely different in those days, there also were far fewer of them in existence.
I don’t use the “thees” and “thous” of that period in my books, however, because I think they would detract from the flow of the dialogue. I mean, I still can remember reading Shakespeare in high-school English classes and struggling to figure out what the heck the characters were talking about!
But I do try to make certain my characters aren’t speaking words that weren’t even created yet. I wouldn’t, for example, have a Pilgrim in the 1650s saying things like “egotistical” or “rambunctious” because the first time those words were used wasn’t until well over a hundred years later.
Or can you just picture two Pilgrim guys greeting each other with something like, “Hey, Josiah! How’s it hangin’? Gimme five!”
It does bother me, however, that I have to refer to the heroes in my books as either Indians or savages, but that was what the colonists called them back in the 17th century…and I can’t undo history.
I know I never could offer a reading of my books to the public because, to be honest, I wouldn’t be able to pronounce some of the words. For example, the Algonquin word for snoring is “chigualakwsowogan.” And “kbahodwigamigw” means “jail.” But when I do use such a word or phrase in a book, I make certain I let the reader know its meaning so no head scratching is involved.
Not long ago, I took a DNA test to find out more about my ancestry and was surprised to learn that my great-great grandmother, who was from the Province of Quebec, was a full-blooded Abenaki. No one in my family ever had mentioned it to me before…but I do think it explains a lot!
When I take a break from writing, I enjoy walking on the many wooded trails in my area, going to local plays and concerts, playing board games and spending quality time with my friends.
My Journey to Freedom [Book One] from abuse, codependency, faulty beliefs about Christianity, to a personal encounter with the Unconditional Love of God by Susan Hopkins
About My Journey to Freedom [Book One] from abuse, codependency, faulty beliefs about Christianity, to a personal encounter with the Unconditional Love of God by Susan Hopkins
This book is dedicated to women. Hear these loving words from your heavenly Father: ‘You have loved ME well; you have loved OTHERS well, but you have not yet loved YOU the way that I love you.’ “And I will be a Father to you, and you will be My sons and daughters,” says the Lord Almighty. 2 Cor 6:18 (AMP)
Ten years after Susan walked down the aisle of a church and gave her life to God in the service of others, she renounced Christianity as she knew it. She just couldn’t try and fail one more time. She was tired of never being ‘good enough’; tired of trying hard to be the ‘perfect’ daughter, mother, wife; and she tried even harder to be a ‘good’ Christian. She couldn’t seem to meet anyone’s expectations, let alone her own. It was impossible to know that an hour later she would have a personal encounter with the unconditional love of God that would change her life forever.
“I am your heavenly Father,” He said. “You are My child. I formed you in your mother’s womb. I gave you your name, your gifts, your talents and your personality. All I have ever wanted you to be is ‘yourself’. I have a purpose and plan for your life that can only be accomplished if you choose to be the person I created you to be. If not, you will miss your destiny entirely. I will place a burning desire in your heart to be My disciple, and I will give you the power to do whatever I ask you to do. I love you more than any earthly Father ever could.”
Letting go of her preconceived ideas about Christianity was not the end but rather a brand new beginning. Clearly, Christianity is not a religion, it’s a relationship. It’s not about trying harder to be ‘good enough’, it’s about trusting more. Christianity as God intended is a life of rest, abiding in Christ and He in us through the power of the Holy Spirit; a life of abundance where we never have to worry because He provides everything we could ever need or want. She was relieved because all she had to do was be ‘herself’.

Author Bio:
Where does one begin? I’m a senior citizen now with time to reflect upon my earthly life fraught with failures and mistakes and of course inevitable successes and triumphs. Would I have done anything differently? Yes. And YOU? Would you have made different life choices? When time permits, please take time to read the words of Paul in Philippians Chapter 3 in the Bible because his words echo my own. I spent so many years of my life trying to obey every rule and regulation in our religious system only to fail time and time again to meet the expectations of church, family, friends, society and sadly even my own.
Yet, like Paul, something good has come from all of my mistakes in that I have learned to put my trust and hope in Christ alone. Truthfully, true Christianity was never about being ‘good enough’ or doing all the ‘right’ things. Christianity as God intended is a life of rest, abiding in Christ and He in us through the power of the Holy Spirit; a life of abundance where we never have to worry because He provides everything we could ever need or want. “All I want you to be is yourself,” my heavenly Father said, “or you could miss your destiny.”
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying I’m perfect or that I don’t make mistakes, but I strive to be the best “ME” I can be while seeking to do God’s will on this earth. I prayerfully considered what to share as a synopsis of my life. I guess my bio is just not about ‘me’ anymore because as Paul says so eloquently in Galatians 2: 19-20 (TLB) “I have been crucified with Christ: and I myself no longer live, but Christ lives in me. And the real life I now have within this body is a result of my trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”
I have so much to share with you! So fasten your spiritual seatbelt, my friend, it’s going to be an amazing journey as we take the hand of God and walk with Him, one step at a time, one day at a time, while unlocking the secrets of His heart. If you want to know more about me and the programs and services I offer, feel free to visit my website: IF I KNEW THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW, or send an email to susan@susanhopkins.ca

Mr Manly Man
About Mr Manly Man
Love is for girls and suckers.
But jealousy is for manly men.
No way in hell I’m attending my ex-girlfriend’s father’s big event.
Not after that witch ripped my soul out a few years back.
Funnily enough, my billionaire family doesn’t care much about that.
Everyone that’s anyone will be at the event, and that includes me.
Fine. I’ll take a fake fiancée and serve up slices of revenge all night long.
My cousin’s secretary will do the job just fine.
She’s beautiful, dreamy, and everything I’d want in a woman—if I were done playing around.
But I’m not. Good thing she’s interested in a promotion.
Quid-pro-quo love.
I can get back at my ex, and she can get a raise with my recommendation to my cousin.
We both get what we want, but then something odd happens.
She captures my heart. Nope. Not me.
Chants: Manly man. Manly man. Manly—
Yeah, this isn’t working. I’m in love.

The East is a paragon of wealth, medical capability and infrastructure, while the West is a massive, nightmarish, semi-lawless ghetto.

Dresden, along with a his friends Malik and Zya, risk their lives to smuggle banned or censored books into a safe haven below the surface called the Underground Library.

Executor Help – How to Settle an Estate Pick an Executor and Avoid Family Fights
About Executor Help – How to Settle an Estate Pick an Executor and Avoid Family Fights
David Edey wants to save you a lot of trouble! In this self-help book he clearly, concisely, and repeatedly explains why it is important that every individual appoint an executor of their estate; what it means to be an executor of an estate; and how having a knowledgeable and responsible executor can help ensure a family’s wealth, welfare, health, and future happiness.
The book is filled with advice, tips, and many real-life examples demonstrating what can go wrong (and what can go right), depending on whether or not families plan accordingly in advance, communicate clearly with one another, and are willing to put petty and selfish differences aside.
No one likes talking about death and inheritances before they absolutely have to, but as Edey learned from personal experience, having these conversations earlier, rather than later, will save a lot of time and money, alleviate a ton of stress and ill-feeling, and ensure that the deceased’s wishes are properly and efficiently carried out.

And that was with a written will! The grief, frustration, and stress of that experience were life-altering for David. He was determined to write his book in order to help others successfully navigate the difficult tasks of estate planning and executorship—so that their families could stay together, rather than fall apart.

The Fallen Ship
About The Fallen Ship
Moving on from the trauma of combat in Afghanistan, former Green Beret, Captain Sam Dale had just begun to settle down in his hometown of Castle Rock, Colorado. Now the owner of several small businesses, he was unaware that his world was about to be turned upside down. The call came in at 2:30 am. The skies outside had opened up, unleashing a torrential rainstorm. Sam’s small towing company was being tasked with the retrieval of some kind of crashed aircraft.
At the site and up close, Sam soon suspected this was no ordinary aircraft, could it be . . . some kind of small alien ship? And that’s when Sam came face-to-face with the pilot—one who went by the name of Cypress.
Sam would soon learn that a massive fleet of warships originating from the planet Naru had recently jumped into the Solar System. Soon, the initial stages of terra-displacement would ensue—the ravishing of Earth’s natural resources and genocide of the human populace. Sam and Cypress discover their goals were more aligned than expected—deciding to work together, albeit reluctantly. First up, recruit an army of local townsfolk. Unfortunately, too few of them were only marginally acceptable—others were downright misfits. While it was time to defend a now totally isolated Castle Rock, it was also time to play offense and take the battle to the alien fleet up in space. Sam would now have to become the man he had fought so hard to leave in the past. That decorated Green Beret, the one with killer instincts and combat skills like few others.
And so, the epic interstellar saga, The Fallen Ship, begins . . .

Minimum Wage Magic by Rachel Aaron
About Minimum Wage Magic by Rachel Aaron
The first book in the completed DFZ series of mages and dragons.
“Making a living is hard. In a lawless city where gods are real, dragons are traffic hazards, and buildings move around on their own, it can feel downright impossible. Good thing freelance mage Opal Yong-ae has never let little things like impossibility stop her. She’s found a way to put her overpriced magical art history degree to use as a Cleaner: a contract municipal employee who empties out abandoned apartments and resells the unusual treasures she finds inside for a profit. It’s not a pretty job, or a safe one–there’s a reason she wears bite-proof gloves–but when you’re neck-deep in debt to a very magical, very nasty individual, you can’t be picky about where the money comes from. But even Opal’s low standards are put to the test when the only thing of value in her latest apartment is the body of the previous tenant. Dealing with the dead isn’t technically part of her job, but this mage died hiding a secret that could be worth a lot of money, and Opal’s the only one who knows. With debts she can’t pay due at the end of the week, this could be the big break she’s been waiting for, but in a city of runaway magic where getting in over your head generally means losing it, the cost of chasing this opportunity might be more than Opal can survive.”
