The Fix by Sylvie Stewart
About The Fix by Sylvie Stewart
FREE April 9-13!
My life is a friggin’ fairytale—just not the kind any single girl would ever want to star in.
LANEY:
Like any good heroine, I have challenges to face. Getting my son to wear pants is one; dealing with my snooze-fest of a job is another. Then there’s the Beast, my freeloading brother who’s worn a permanent dent in the couch at my new place. And no fairytale would be complete without a smoking hot prince, of course. Too bad he’s a complete ass.
My instincts scream at me to steer clear of Nate Murphy. Because, if life has taught me anything, there is no such thing as happily ever after.
NATE:
I may not be a superhero, but I do my best to come to the rescue when I’m needed. And, hey, I just moved halfway across the country after a single phone call from my mom. But being back home and taking on the responsibilities involved makes me a bit cranky at times. Unfortunately, the one time I completely lose my cool is in front of the hottest girl I’ve ever met. I’ve got my work cut out for me if I’m going to fix this. But I will fix this.
I’ll be anything Laney Monroe needs me to be … a superhero, a prince, or just a guy she might take a chance on.

Reversed: A Memoir by Lois Letchford
About Reversed: A Memoir by Lois Letchford
“HE’S THE WORST CHILD I’VE SEEN IN 20 YEARS OF TEACHING,” to Ph.D. from Oxford University.
When Lois Letchford learns her son has been diagnosed with a low IQ at the end of grade one, she refuses to give up on his future. Testing showed Nicholas had no spatial awareness, limited concentration, and could only read ten words; he is labeled “learning disabled,” a designation considered more derogatory than “dyslexia.” The world of education is quick to cast him aside. Lois begins working with him one-on-one. What happens next is a journey–spanning three continents, unique teaching experiments, never-ending battles with the school system, a mother’s discovery of her own learning blocks, and a bond fueled by the desire to rid Nicholas of the “disabled” label. “Reversed” is a memoir of profound determination that follows the highs and lows of overcoming impossible odds, turning one woman into a passionate teacher for children who have been left behind. Nothing is impossible when one digs deep, and looks at students through a new lens.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Lois Letchford specializes in teaching children who struggle to read, working with students of all ages in Australia, England, and Texas. Her creative teaching methods vary depending on the reading ability of the student, employing age-appropriate, rather than reading-age-appropriate, material. Lois writes poetry, empowering her students to see themselves as authors. When her students have been exposed to a wider range of texts, she returns to existing conventional material to re-engage students, who become active, involved learners ready to re-enter the traditional classroom confidently. Several of her most challenging students have gone on to graduate from college.
Her non-traditional background, multi-continental exposure, and passion for helping failing students have equipped her with a unique skill set and perspective. Originally a physical education teacher, she later completed a Master’s in Literacy and Reading from the State University of New York at Albany. Lois has presented her work at The Kentucky Council for Exceptional Children, SPELD in Brisbane Australia, and Ireland International Conference of Education. She is a member of the Australian College of Education.
Reversed: A Memoir is her first book.

The Heinmarch princes… They’re like the sun. Look at them too long and you’re bound to burn up. And I’m burning in places that haven’t seen sunshine in years. (HEA)

Goddess of Battle
In Goddess of Battle, two young women prove friendship is possible between enemies, and if there is will, there is always a way to make the world a more peaceful, prosperous, generous place for everyone. Tyra, granddaughter of Holocaust survivors and herself survivor of an abusive relationship, moves to Israel to start a new life – as a border policewoman stationed at a West Bank roadblock. Noureen, daughter of a successful Bethlehem merchant interested in the politics her father dislikes as unbecoming to a young woman, is learning to love the older man her parents decide she should marry. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict throws these two into confrontation in a novel written by a journalist who has covered both sides of the battlefield for more than 30 years. The stories of Noureen and Tyra attempt to give the reader a unique window into life that escapes daily news coverage. It will be available on Kindle for $.99 from April 12 through April 14.

About Beyond Repair by Susie Tate
Free from 11th April to 15th April only.
Loveable, scatty, beautiful, bubbly Katie; with her huge sense of fun and innate kindness, everybody thinks she’s adorable. Well, everybody but Sam.
Sam is anything but bubbly. His surly personality is the complete opposite of Katie’s, and, over the six years she has known him, one thing has become clear to Katie: Sam cannot stand her.
Katie may be bubbly and bright but unfortunately her past is not, and it’s started leaking into her present. She hides her fear from her friends as they have problems of their own, but when Sam finds out the potential danger she’s in, for some reason he is furious.
Sam knows he should stay away from her but he simply can’t stand by if Katie is in danger; he can’t allow her to be hurt. Unfortunately there are other ways to be hurt, and by getting closer to Katie, Sam may inflict more damage than her past ever could.
Because Sam is damaged, and some things are beyond repair.
This is a full-length contemporary romance with its own HEA and no cliffhanger.

After the Change
Diego Conner was at school when his world changed. As soon as his classmates started killing each other, he ran. Then, when he got home, his parents tried to eat him. They weren’t zombies though. They were alive and could be killed like any other living thing. He chose to simply call them “the changed”.
The only people he knew who didn’t turn were his friends, Sheena and Wes. With their families gone, the fifteen year olds are forced to look out for each another, constantly moving and hiding in the shadows. Eventually, though, they decided to search for survivors and colonize a local prison. Along the way, they quickly learn that the brainless, flesh-eating monsters that roam the streets are the least of their worries after the change.

Fair Trade For Love
He’s willing to trade his daughter.
Good. She’s exactly what I want in my life.
The bastard shouldn’t have stolen from me.
It’s not an unreasonable request, but at this point, I’m glad he did.
I come from old money and lots of it.
And my business is in need of some numbers help.
The thief’s beautiful daughter fits the bill beautifully.
But the innocent girl does far more than help me get the business in line.
She wakes me up at night, has me pacing the floor, and drowns me in the desire to focus on so much more than work.
I’ve not loved or lusted in a long time, but there’s something about her.
Whether I want her to or not, she’s causing my blood to burn.
I’ll never give her back.
Not even when the debt is paid.

The Memory Trap by Greg Koren
About The Memory Trap by Greg Koren
Henry Dunne is lonely, he’s homesick, and now the twelve-year-old is being blamed for a series of increasingly mean-spirited pranks at his new school. To cope, he practices sleight of hand with playing cards and a technique for remembering things called the Memory Palace, an imaginary structure that, in Henry’s case, looks just like his beloved old house.
When Principal George Pal’s car disappears from inside a locked garage, he proposes a deal to Henry: “You help me figure out what happened to my car, and I’ll help you figure out who’s causing all the trouble.”
Henry agrees, and quickly finds himself in hot water with the principal’s mother, the school bully, and a girl who brags that she’s the better magician. As Principal Pal wrestles with his own heartbreak and shaken trust, Henry uncovers a sinister plot that challenges him to leave behind the safety of his Memory Palace and work with friends and allies to confront a dangerous force from the past—leading to a thrilling showdown.
Greg Koren (Do Over, 2016) has written a novel for middle school-grade readers that Kirkus Reviews calls “thoughtful and perceptive, with offbeat humor, twisty puzzles, and exciting action.” The Memory Trap isn’t just for young readers, though. It’s for anybody seeking a smart mystery that celebrates family, forgiveness, and living mindfully.
The Memory Trap isn’t just one mystery, either; it’s two: a clever whodunit and an even cleverer locked-room mystery. The locked-room mystery is a subgenre of detective fiction that involves a crime which is committed under seemingly impossible circumstances. Greg is a huge fan of locked-rooms, and he couldn’t be prouder of his contribution to the subgenre.

Author Bio:
Greg Koren graduated from Towson University in 1988 with a Bachelor of Science degree in English and a concentration in writing. That same year, he began working as a newspaper reporter and columnist in Maryland, first as Associate Editor of the weekly East Baltimore Guide, then, in 1993, as Senior Features Writer for the daily Carroll County Times.
During his fifteen-year career, he won more than a dozen awards for his writing, among them the Maryland State Teachers Association’s School Bell Award for excellence in education reporting, the Associated Press’ Mark Twain Award for outstanding features writing, and six awards, including three first-place, from the MDDC Press Association for feature and column writing.
His one-act play, An Arrangement of Convenience, about the difficult subject of AIDS, won the Maryland Playwrights Festival, and in 1989 was produced by the Vagabond Theater in Baltimore to rave reviews.
In 1998, Greg and his wife traded places, and he became the at-home parent. A year later, while writing a weekly column for the Carroll County Times on his experiences as an at-home dad, he decided to homeschool his two kids, making him one of only three homeschooling fathers in Baltimore County.
Greg always loved reading aloud to Max and Mara, and those homeschooling years introduced him to the enchanting world of children’s fiction. He was immediately taken with the powerful storytelling being written for middle school-grade readers and decided he wanted to try his hand at it. His first MG novel, Do Over, was published in 2016. The Memory Trap is his second.
