Author Bio:
Abandoned by a mother who did not want a second daughter, Mae grew up on the periph-ery of her aristocratic Korean family. Her loving step-grandma (a commoner) took care of her, allowing her to explore the joys and perils of their rural home. Mae describes her emergence into Korean culture, from her Japanese-style education to her most prized possession: her pair of silver chopsticks.
She endures her mother’s abuse, almost-tragic accidents, and her father’s funeral. But things get much worse. At the end of World War II, Mae and her family flee to South Korea, while her grandma stays behind to give the family time to escape. Within five years the Korean War erupts, and again they spend several years as refugees before Mae came to the United States for a col-lege education.
Her memoir delves into Korean history and the Japanese occupation, following Mae until her happy ending: marriage to a US Marine colonel and a family and career of her own. From her childhood in a North Korean mountain village to a successful life in the United States, the years have brought Mae Adams many challenges. With the past full of ghosts, her final challenge is to share her story.

About Power Desired by Ivy Nelson

A power game.

That’s really all D.C. Politics boils down to, and it’s a game Darci and Bradley both like to win. Too bad they aren’t on the same team because their chemistry is through the roof. Darci has spent her life fighting for the sexual liberty of Americans. Bradley wants to put a politician in the White House who thinks sex is for marriage. Chemistry be damned, Darci could never give in to the pull that Bradley has on her—not when his boss is slut shaming on national television.

Then danger and a ghost from Darci’s past thrust the two together, and they soon discover that D.C. politics isn’t the only power game that ignites their passion. Just as they give in to the lust between them, the danger intensifies and Darci’s life is at risk. Bradley knows he must do whatever it takes to keep her safe—even if it costs him everything.

About Shadow of the Raven by Millie Thom

The life of Eadwulf, ten-year old son of the Mercian king, is changed forever when his family is betrayed to the Viking Danes by his treacherous uncle. In a devastating Danish raid, his father is killed, his mother raped, and along with his tutor and childhood friend, Eadwulf is captured and taken to the Danish lands to be sold as a slave.
As a slave in Jarl Ragnar’s village, Eadwulf’s life is hard, his days unbearably long. But on the return of Ragnar’s eldest son, Bjorn, from his summer raids, his life begins to change. Eadwulf spends the next few years aboard Bjorn’s beloved dragonship, sailing to places he’d never dreamed of, trading and raiding. And although he’s still a slave, he becomes a well-respected member of Bjorn’s closely knit crew. Yet through it all, the desire for revenge on those who destroyed his family refuses to abate.
Eadwulf’s story plays out against the backdrop of events unfolding in Wessex in the face of escalating Danish raids. Alfred, the youngest son of the Wessex king, faces family tragedies from an early age, losing first his mother, then his beloved sister when she is married to the new Mercian king: Eadwulf’s treacherous uncle. At his father’s court and the successive courts of his older brothers, he learns the weighty art of kingship. And, like Eadwulf, he learns the harshest lesson of all… that a trusted kinsman can so easily turn traitor.

Only beautiful fury will quench all grief.

Blighted. Scorned. Crushed. With the loss of the First Egg, Aranya’s campaign to liberate the Island-World from tyranny has reached its nadir.

As the Star Dragoness plumbs the deepest secrets of her lineage, she must forge an alliance of legends, of Chaos and Onyx, Amethyst and Shadow, that will cast down the Thoralians and thwart Dramagon’s plans forever.

For when a star shines in the panoply of her most beautiful fury, all eyes will brighten, and hope will illuminate the world.

About Wild West: The Adventures of the Lone Jack Kid

Ride along in the wild west with Frank and Jesse James as they share in the adventures of The Lone Jack Kid. This was wartime; men lived and died fighting their enemy . . . and sometimes they died fighting each other.

“My name is Charles Longstreet.” The men looked at each other as recognition set in. “You’re the Lone Jack Kid?” The Kid smiled. “The one and only.” He pulled his hat off of his head and waved it in the air, giving the Rebel yell. “See you money grubbers in hell, boys.”

He jerked the reins, and nudged Comet with his heels. She turned her head and leaped into the bubbling stream with water as high as the stirrups, and dashed across, splashing tendrils of water high in the air on both sides of her. It was an impressive display of horsemanship. The toll collectors watched with grudging admiration.

About Slick (Mad World Book 1)

FAMILY IS EVERYTHING…OR IS IT MONEY IS EVERYTHING?
Once, I had a few dollars.
Gained some more little by little.
Then one day I found a way to have it all.
Funny, how a good idea only sounds good when you haven’t actually done it.
But I had you.
After our mom died you were all I had left.
I stood by you, fought for you and tried to make our lives better.
The whole time you were with me. Rooting for us to succeed. Chasing the dream by my side like a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde.
You were my brother.
But how stupid was I to think that blood and the word family would be thicker than water.
Some say people change.
But in this story, the only one who’s forced to change is me.
