Losing Dani Strumm

About Losing Dani Strumm

Dani was a natural in school. Her only distraction was an absent mother and her suicidal brother, whom she felt overly protective. Maybe because she assumed the role when her mother abandoned them, or perhaps it was just her nurturing way.

She worked hard after graduating, joining the military to expedite her acceptance and training in the Institute, which almost guaranteed her entrance into the New Earth Corps. This is where she would set her sights on a once-in-a-lifetime mission to Tau Ceti e, the nearest Earth-like planet, where she would become the first woman explorer in deep space.

The mission was only possible once every sixty years because of the strange elongated elliptical orbit of Tau Ceti e, which made it impossible to reach more than once in a person’s lifetime. However, modern technology did allow humankind to get to the edge of the planet’s orbit every sixty years for approximately three months. Dani aspired to travel this great distance to carry out this dangerous and previously failed mission. Unfortunately, the last mission team was never heard from after a scouting trip.

Her job was a simple one. Release scientific orbital satellites around Tau Ceti e to gather important information for team two, which would form a landing and exploration party.

Within minutes of releasing the second satellite, something went horribly wrong. Dani would find herself scrambling for the emergency escape pod to flee a dying ship. Within minutes she would find herself on an alien planet with two weeks of supplies, two days of oxygen, injured, and her rescue nearly two months away.

Losing Dani Strumm is a compelling explorative story of self-discovery. It is a surprising tale of forgiveness and redemption. It’s about love, luck, fate, and a complex woman who discovers her lifelong dream is not what she thought it to be.

Hostile Heir: Souza Cartel

About Hostile Heir: Souza Cartel

Once upon a time he set me free. This time it won’t be that simple.

I can’t stop wondering why the cartel heir with mafia blood in his cold veins saved me all those weeks ago. The young virginal misfit who was kidnapped and gifted to a villainous kingpin.

But he did.

And I was wrong to think he was my hero.

I never expected to meet Tomás Souza again. Or that I’d be covered in his father’s blood. However, fate has brought me face to face with a vengeful monster who’s blinded by wrath.

Now, I’m his captive while he claims a merciless throne—and my innocence.

Except he underestimates me. They all do.

No matter the bond we share, our agreement must end, especially when the newly crowned king has a heart-shattering secret.

Extended version: Tomás & Carina’s introduction is included!

Author Note: Hostile Heir is a duet within the Hostile Kingdom World. It’s a forced proximity dark romance that includes scenarios and references which may act as a trigger to some readers.

Jesus and Zinnias Make Me Smile, by Darla Noble

About Jesus and Zinnias Make Me Smile, by Darla Noble

Recalling memories of gardens past, laughing over mishaps, remembering with fondness those who shared their garden treasures with me, and marveling out loud (on paper) at the creative genius of God—it’s all in here…and more.
“Jesus and Zinnias Make Me Smile” is a collection of gardening memories and the ah-ha moments from God that took root and blossomed in my heart, soul, and mind. Much like seeds do when I put them in the soil. They blossomed into life lessons that continually help me grow into the woman God intends me to be, and to be more like the Master Gardener–my Savior, Jesus Christ.

I hope when you read them they will do the same for you.
