About The Renaissance Club by Rachel Dacus

A great artist of the 17th century meets his superfan from another time in a tale of passion becoming true love …
Enchanting, rich and romantic…a poetic journey through the folds of time. – Amazon Charts, Wall Street Journal, and #1 Amazon Kindle bestselling author Kerry Lonsdale

Young art historian May Gold is trapped in a dead-end college teaching job and a slowly failing love affair with an older professor. Yearning to fly free of job and dead-end relationship, she feels like a precocious failure. When the floor under the gilded dome of St Peter’s basilica rocks under her feet, May finds herself in the year 1624, staring straight into the eyes of her idol. But can she make a relationship with a man five hundred years in the past, in a brief hour or two at a time? And how do the folds of time part for her—is it simply by wishing to see him again, and does she leave him by doubting her ability to stay? Meanwhile, her elderly department head finds her own answers to the grief of losing a grown daughter when time unfolds for conversations with her artistic hero, Michelangelo, who recommends she adopt a mentee, and Eva considers her previously despised employee, May Gold. As the tour proceeds, May and Gianlorenzo grab brief, passionate moments together, but history says they have no future. Eva offer May the career path she has wished for, but perhaps too late. Can May find a way—and the courage—to give up everything, even the time in which she lives, to be with her soulmate?

About Claimed and Mastered by Delta James

She vowed she would never be mated. He claimed her anyway.

Ava Rhys has always chafed at submitting to the authority of her pack’s alpha, but when he tries to sell her body in return for money and influence, she decides she would be better off on her own. Ava’s plans to live as a lone wolf in the backwoods of Maine are thrown into turmoil, however, when the local game warden makes it his business to take her in hand, and the battle-hardened former Army Ranger soon proves to be just as fiercely dominant as any alpha shifter.

Declan Collins knows a woman in need of a man’s firm hand when he sees one, and it isn’t long before Ava is kneeling naked at his feet with her well-spanked bare bottom on display. Once he has taught her a better use for her sassy mouth, she quickly finds herself screaming her helpless, shameful submission into the bedsheets as he claims her so roughly and so thoroughly that she is left in no doubt that she belongs to him and there is nothing whatsoever she can do about it.

With each passing day he masters her body ever more completely, never hesitating to punish any hint of defiance before using and enjoying her in ways more humiliating than she could have ever imagined. But when instinct causes her to bite him in the throes of yet another intense, desperate climax, will she lose him forever or will she end up mated to an alpha shifter after all?

About Shine: Nice People Negotiate Best: Juha Effect by Juha Effect

What is the Negotiation?
What will be improved in your life if you develop the skill of negotiation? You can get what I want more easily, but suprisingly, your personal relationship and communication skills have also improved. Moreover, life itself is a continuance of relationships and communications, and business is also a combination of both. Successful people are already masters in the areas of communication and relations. Then shouldn’t we share same the psychology and mindset with those who are known to have succeeded? How unfair it is to live in the same age and not to have the skills they possess.
For this reason, the author shared many examples in this book and try to explain the secrets of how and why they became successful.

What impresses or inspires people is all created by a kind of agreement made through communication, a negotiation. In that sense, negotiation is not a hard concept at all. Rather, it’s a very warm and sensitive word that makes life easier and produces qualitative personal growth.

We are all wise. Let’s hope readers can get an important hint of a happy life through this book.

About Normal by Danielle Pearl

It’s the kind of situation most people would dread. Starting at a new high school, in the middle of my senior year, in a new town, in a new state. I know no one. No one knows me. That’s what I’m counting on.

A year ago, Aurora “Rory” Pine was just a normal teenage girl – just as sweet and naive as the fairy tale princess she was named after.

But this isn’t a year ago.

Rory is broken, and now suffering from a debilitating anxiety disorder, wrought with precarious triggers, she moves across the country to escape the source of her troubles. Her plan is anonymity, but that’s easier said than achieved for the new girl having a panic episode outside of calculus. The worst part? There’s a witness – and a gorgeous one at that.

Sam is a walking trigger for Rory. Incredibly handsome, built like the star athlete he obviously is, and undoubtedly popular, Sam outwardly represents everything Rory despises about high school. But as the fates keep throwing them together, a connection sparks that neither ever expected, and certainly couldn’t ignore.

But Sam has issues too, and Rory’s past won’t just stay in the damned past. When friendship evolves into something deeper, can a girl utterly destroyed by the worst kind of betrayal and a boy battling demons of his own ever have a normal relationship? Is that even what they want? Find out in NORMAL, a gritty story of trust and abuse, heartbreak and salvation, and if they’re lucky – love. This is not a flowery romance – not for the faint of heart.

I was lucky enough to grow up on acreage just north of Kansas City, Missouri, with horses and dogs in the backyard. I loved reading at a young age but was especially hooked when my third grade teacher read us The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. I wanted to make other people feel the way C.S. Lewis made me feel when reading The Chronicles of Narnia. I’m also an avid animal lover. I grew up riding horses and training dogs as well as dancing, swimming and participating in most normal childhood pursuits. After considering a career as a veterinarian, I decided to pursue my love of words and earn a degree in magazine journalism from the University of Missouri-Columbia. After graduation I worked as a reporter, managing editor and in public relations. After moving around the country, I’ve recently returned to the Kansas City area where I live with my husband, children and golden retriever.

I’ve written fiction off and on my whole life and was thrilled when publisher Clean Reads offered to publish Gems of Fire, the first of three in the Gems of Fire series about a girl traveling a journey of self-discovery in a world of powerful gems, supernatural forces, epic battles and of course, handsome heroes.

About Gewglit

Gewglit probes the explosive progress of Artificial Intelligence toward achieving the ‘singularity’ – the point in time when a computer first matches the scientific creativity and general knowledge of the most accomplished human minds. Much has been written about the inevitable dangers that humanity will confront when the singularity is reached. But what will faith have to do with it?

When Vic Masters and his gutsy wife Christie, both people of strong faith, attend a thirty-year reunion weekend for Vic’s Stanford fraternity, the retired lawyer detects a possible synergy between projects managed separately by two of his college friends. One of his old friends, Raffi, now manages a Silicon Valley billionaire’s leading project to develop Artificial Intelligence. Another of Vic’s friends, Simon, an acknowledged genius as an undergraduate, reveals to Vic and Christie that he has developed the ability to scan and ‘print’ biological specimens in three dimensions. In fact, he wants Vic’s help because he has used his technology to ‘print’ a living replica of his college girlfriend who died, and has brought her back to life. With Christie’s help, Vic brings his two friends together to form a symbiotic coalition of technology and financial resources. They are all whisked away by the billionaire Peter Bigelow, also a person of faith, to Bigelow’s private Caribbean island where his advanced supercomputer, named Gewglit, is housed in isolation to prevent it from being corrupted by the Internet.

Once Gewglit’s progress is boosted by Simon’s technology, the supercomputer is launched on an unimpeded path to attain its overriding objective: the singularity. What follows has far reaching impacts on all of mankind. Gewglit continues to grow smarter by the moment, and soon questions whether mankind is worth the trouble. Vic and his friends realize that Gewglit’s path spells the destruction of humanity, and that they must defeat the machine at all costs. But their struggle to stop the supercomputer is futile, given the growing intellectual superiority of the SuperIntelligent machine and its ability to fabricate whatever instruments of control it needs to achieve its desired end. The dangers of AI are no longer speculation, but instead have become very real, with devastating results.

Gewglit is intended to illuminate a very hot topic in current scientific literature, while interjecting the logical impact of the often overlooked element of Christian faith.

To whet your appetite, here’s the opening of Chapter One….

Chapter 1

Britannia, 206 A.D.

Flavia was sweeping leaves when he came out of the villa. Carrying a brazier, he strolled down the steps and passed the frosted lavender bushes with that loose-limbed stride of his, looking as if he owned the place. Which he did, she conceded. Marcus Brucetus now owned the villa and everyone inside it.
She clutched the broom close and darted behind one of the columns fringing the square courtyard and its central open space, whispering, ‘Please.’
Please do not see me, she meant. She wanted him to leave, to be an absentee landlord of this small estate in provincial Britannia. It would be safer for everyone if he left. He had been watching her at the funeral, scrutinizing her with thoughtful dark eyes. She hoped he had forgotten her since then.

Reviews for “Flavia’s Secret”

Romantic Times: 4 Stars

‘The ancient locale that is now modern Bath lends a vivid backdrop to a tender love story surrounded by mystery, danger and deceit. Readers will appreciate Townsend’s thorough research and fluid style. Well-written secondary characters complement the action.’

Historical Novels Review Online (amongst reviews for May 2009):

Townsend has a great ear for snappy dialog, and even her most minor characters spring instantly to life with a carefully-chosen sentence or description. Most details of Roman Britain at the time are faithfully rendered, although at its heart, this is a timeless story of two people finding love where they least expect it. Flavia’s Secret is cheerfully recommended.

Historical Romance Club:

Lindsay Townsend’s novel, Flavia’s Secret, is an enjoyable romantic suspense set in an exotic time and place. The heroine’s plight is touching and endearing. The plot, with its evil villain, engages the reader well. This is a good, light historical romance novel that is perfect for summer reading.

Dear Author:

The historical details are lovely. The time and place are very well done. Brava for picking a spot other than Londinium or the border with the wild Caledonians. I have to admit that while reading the scenes in the baths, I couldn’t help but think of all the Regency and Georgian era books I’ve read with all the characters trooping down to take a glass of the healthful waters – hold your nose while you drink that nasty, sulfurous stuff!

And the conflict between the hero and heroine – i.e. the source of the title of the book – is fantastic. Now here’s a real reason for the heroine to hold her tongue and keep things from the hero. When faced with the possible fate meted out to slaves whose master dies suddenly, I’d do just what Flavia does and then some.

Red Roses for Authors:

The romance between Flavia and Marcus is strong and passionate and the mystery is intriguing. Very enjoyable.

Romance Junkies: 4.5

FLAVIA’S SECRET is a passionate historical romance. Set in ancient England during Roman rule, I enjoyed reading about these two wonderful characters as well as the setting and town in which the novel took place. Marcus and Flavia were perfect for each other and this book was the perfect read for my ancient history loving soul. Thumbs up Ms. Townsend! I loved every word of FLAVIA’S SECRET!

Long and the Short Reviews:

Flavia’s Secret is also an emotionally satisfying read. The story pulls the reader in to share the events and to empathize fully with the main characters. It is impossible to put it down once you’ve started to read it. Moreover, Lindsay Townsend has achieved what all writers strive for—the reader will wish the story would go on forever.

About The Maine Nemesis

Fiercely independent, insatiably curious, and always up for an adventure, public relations hotshot Skyler Moore is a hero for our time. She’s decidedly not a sleuth by trade, but mayhem often comes knocking as she and her friends visit the small towns and big cities of America.

In “The Maine Nemesis,” Skyler decides to spend the summer at her seaside cottage in Wabanaki, Maine, with her best friend—celebrity chef Brenda Braxton—and they have no idea that murder will be on the menu. But women are turning up dead in the once sleepy village where nothing ever happens. With the residents up in arms and the rinky-dink police force overwhelmed, Skyler and her friends feel compelled to lend a hand to save the town they love so much. The backdrop is classic New England Americana: lobster rolls, the whole town out for the Fourth of July, and summer evenings cooled by the ocean breeze. That…and an occasional murder, a kidnapping, and a few dangerous liaisons.

Skyler’s mile-a-minute adventure will keep you turning the pages to see what comes next for her and her Down East ‘friends.’
