The Art of Lying
New York City, a young artist on the rise, and closely held family secrets — what could go wrong?
Rachel Addison has just turned eighteen and lives on the Upper East Side with her parents. All she wants to do is paint and have an amazing solo gallery show downtown, but her barely-functioning alcoholic mom is acting very weird lately, her dad is never around when she needs him, and then there’s Noah — the handsome older man that appears in her life right when she doesn’t need a distraction.
When the complications of life get to be too much, Rachel escapes back to her hometown in New Jersey, where she discovers a shocking truth about her birth. This secret turns her life inside out and upside down. Back in the city, she struggles to finish her last painting and deal with the complicated relationship she now has with her parents. To top it all off, Rachel doesn’t even know who she is anymore or what to do with these feelings she has for Noah.
The Art of Lying is an emotional, but poignant Young Adult coming of age story written by Jennifer Gregson. If you like stories by John Green, Rainbow Rowell, or Julie Murphy then you will love Jennifer’s debut novel about early fame, first love, and family relationships.

Author Bio:
Jennifer Gregson was born in St. Louis, Missouri and moved to New York in 2001 to follow her dream of starring on Broadway. After many years and thousands of auditions, she started to crave a different way of entertaining others and decided to try her hand at writing a novel during NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) and a new love emerged.
She now lives in Queens, New York with her husband and son. She still loves musical theatre, and she sings and dances around the apartment, much to the amusement of her loved ones. When she’s not writing, you can find her in one of the Disney parks riding roller coasters, having a Dole Whip, and pretending she’s Snow White.
The Linguist
“How else to commune with the gods, save in their own tongue?”
A theory – that by discovering the origins of all language a channel to the divine could be opened – dominates the linguist’s life work, driving him to the point of obsession and sacrifice.
When a feral child is discovered in a nearby cave, he seizes the opportunity to further his research.
But just how far will he be willing to go to prove his theory?
And in the end, will the gods even listen?

Introducing the “Ask 3 Therapists” series….
The “Ask 3 Therapists” book series aims to provide feedback from 3 different mental health care professionals on everyday psychological problems.
Each book is centered upon a specific problem that people encounter, and feedback from mental health care professionals on what to do next.
The books take the form of Q + A interviews. An independent journalist asks questions, in the interest of the person seeking a solution to the problem, and a mental health care professional provides feedback.
The mission of the “Ask 3 Therapists” series is to help readers get simple, straightforward feedback on everyday psychological problems. The series also aims to be a bridge from Main Street to the therapist’s office, by exploring in each book how everyday people can overcome hurdles to seeking access to mental health care.
What’s different about the series? Well on the one hand, psychology books from the library tend to be looong and full of jargon. On the other, many blogs tend to be either too simplistic or filled with personal opinions. Unlike these mediums, the “Ask 3 Therapists” series saves you time by going straight to the experts for authoritative feedback on hyper-specific problems, all in a direct Q + A format.
As editor of the series, Justin Todd draws on his experiences as an award-winning journalist, English teacher, entrepreneur, mental health advocate, and independent filmmaker to organize the talents of independent journalists and mental health care professionals into the eBook series. Justin is a graduate of Beloit College and the UCLA Professional Programs in Screenwriting and Producing.
The series is published by Impact 18 Publishing with the hope that each book will inform and inspire its readers to lead lives closer and closer to their highest human potential.
So check out some of the “Ask 3 Therapists” books today!
Falling for Mr. Corporate
About Falling for Mr. Corporate
I hated camping
I knew I shouldn’t have gone
But, I was glad I went
I found out what a piece of work my boyfriend was around his friends
I also met Tate, a loner who had made the woods his home
When we met, his gun was aimed at me
But he couldn’t fool me
At least not for long
I saw the heat in his eyes
Saw the way he watched me
It was instant attraction
The kind that couldn’t be ignored
For with the same mouth he used to tell me to get off his land
His kisses told me to stay
But we were from two different worlds
Could this city boy get the mountain man?
Falling for Mr. Corporate is a steamy MM contemporary romance novella with HFN ending. It is a 20k word prequel of the upcoming full-length novel, My Dear Mr. Corporate. It is the first book in the Corporate Pride series.

A Love Made To Measure by Eliza Emmett
About A Love Made To Measure by Eliza Emmett
Cora Larsen is a Victorian tailoress on Regent Street, where she creates dresses that are “the toast of the Season.” She is a gifted maker of men’s suits too, not that many are willing to have a woman take their measurements.
Lord Galavyin believes in marrying for love, not convenience. He feels bad enough about the privilege of being a baron and refuses to consider an arranged marriage. One day, he walks through Cora’s door to collect a dress and is smitten with her forward-thinking social ideals. But, despite their growing friendship, he cannot persuade Cora to ignore the difference in their status and address him by his first name—Grant.
When Cora loses the lease on her shop, she thinks it is simply a coincidence that the building belongs to Grant’s family. She doesn’t yet know she is in love with a man whose mother is the worst enemy one can imagine.
Grant will do anything to keep Cora safe and employed, even if it takes helping her without her knowledge. What follows is a game of cat and mouse that will test Cora’s resolve and Grant’s love to their limits.
Praise for Eliza Emmett
“Like the magnificently crafted dresses that abound within its pages, A Love Made to Measure is stitched to perfection! Author Eliza Emmett expertly recreates late 19th-Century London as she seeks to answer the question: Can an independent woman find both the success and the love she so desperately wants and surely deserves?”
~ Barbara Solomon Josselsohn
“Eliza Emmett’s A Love Made to Measure is a charming tale of lovers separated by class. Tailoress and suffragette Cora Larsen and iconoclast Lord Grant Galavyin struggle against his mother and societal conventions to find true love.”
~ Suanne Schafer”

Tomorrow’s Wrath
Sirus O’Sullivan has launched Phase 2 of the Palace Program, catapulting the young Palace-born into a dark course curriculum that goes against everything they’ve ever learned.
After the cleansing of Old World members for the sake of preservation, young Melinda struggles with her warring instincts. Her only friend is a young man named Lonnie, but as the two become more than friends, Lonnie must convince her that going against the Order is going against life itself. When Lonnie rises up in the ranks of a lethal army with inhuman weapons skills, it becomes apparent that the Palace-born were built for more than peace.
Mary’s escape from Sirus finds her in a rebel Palace taken over by the Eagle Squad. There, Mary trains for her revenge, but she quickly realizes that certain rebels could be as dangerous as Sirus himself. Dale, the squad’s information specialist, falls for Mary as he interrogates her daily. But not even Dale can protect her from Sirus’s plot to get her back at all costs.
Carla knows God has spoken, and she is the chosen one to rid the world of those from elsewhere, no matter the dark deeds she has to perform to get the job done.

Clark created a post-apocalyptic world full of suspense and gripping plot-twists.

Debriefing the Dead by Kerry Blaisdell
About Debriefing the Dead by Kerry Blaisdell
The only thing Hyacinth wants is her life back. Literally. She and her sister were murdered by Demons, leaving her young nephew, Geordi, to his father’s family in the brutal Sicilian Mob. Then Archangel Michael offers her a deal: recapture a powerful rock the Demons stole, and she can live long enough to find Geordi a safe home. Refuse, and she’ll continue up (or down) to the Afterlife.
So, slightly more alive than dead, she heads for Turkey and the Demons, taking Geordi, her mysterious neighbor Jason, and a sexy dead guy only she can see with her. But the hardest part won’t be battling Demons, meeting Satan, or dodging Middle Eastern customs—it will be later, when Geordi is settled, and Michael rips her away again. How can she abandon her nephew? Or can she outwit the Angel of Death himself, and stay with Geordi forever?
REVIEWS

“Filled with quirky characters, gorgeous locations and madcap mystery, it’s easy to overlook that at the heart of Kerry Blasdell’s delicious, rollicking romp of a story is a whip-smart protagonist whose love for her family leads her to strike a bargain with the Angel of Death. Archaeology meets international intrigue in this dazzling debut by an author to watch.” ~Teri Brown, award-winning author of BORN OF ILLUSION and VELVET UNDERCOVER

Author Bio:
Kerry was born in British Columbia, Canada, and has since lived all over the West Coast of North America, including California, Oregon, Washington and Alaska—everywhere except Mexico! She’s a “computer industry” brat, not a military one, but moving so frequently meant she spent a lot of time reading, and later writing, (hopefully!) great books. She has a degree in Comparative Literature (French and Middle English) from U.C. Berkeley, and a Master’s in Teaching English and Mathematics from the University of Portland. She currently lives in the gorgeous Pacific Northwest with her husband, two “kids” in mid-to-late adolescence, assorted cats and dogs, and more hot pepper plants than anyone could reasonably consume.

Writing is my passion, and you are reading something that has been crafted and loved.
I care, a lot about many things and I spend my days helping the elderly and ill in Irelands hospitals, and it gives me great perspective. One thing I find, is that we are all the same, the world over, so we need to be kind to each other. Good stories can help that.
