About Seeds of Change

Jey is an introverted, intuitive healer with nothing left to lose. All her healing skill couldn’t save her mother from a virulent manmade virus. The heat index of 2071 Earth has reached crippling levels. Jey is barely coping—until she stumbles upon an opportunity to join the crew of Two by Two, the first colony ship set to launch from the ailing Earth.

The mission—to create an idealistic artisan colony on an unexplored exoplanet—fits right in with Jey’s dreams. Her friendship with a clairvoyant child onboard the ship, her growing empathic abilities, and her bumbling attempts at love bring her hope.

But when a rival corporation sabotages the ship, and their target planet is a blasted wasteland, Jey finds herself at the center of the conflict.

Can she set aside her old self destructive patterns? Can she take a leap into a new way of being—and seeing to save her colony? Join Jey and her shipmates on the journey to Aride to find out.

Seeds of Change is a soft science fiction novel with a splash of metaphysics and magic. It is a coming of age story with big themes, small pleasures, and an ensemble cast of characters living in a world you won’t want to leave.

Author Bio:
Willow Thomson lives among the rolling hills and tall trees of a small hamlet with her husband of many years and children who come and go. While spending a lifetime “finding” herself only to discover that she was there all along, she has pursued several pastimes: typesetting, weaving, glass bead making, energy healing, homeopathy and writing.

Willow loves a good morality tale about the struggle between the dark and the light. She trusts that at rock bottom most people are good but she suspects that some people are not. She is sure that life is more mysterious and magical than we know in these days of selfies, venti double shot lattes and working overtime to make ends meet.

She always roots for the underdog and hangs on tightly to the belief that good will triumph over evil in the end and that some things are worth fighting for—nature, equality, common sense, beauty and truth. And some things make life worth living—family, friends, trees, flowers, the ocean, lakes and rivers, French pastries and fresh baked bread.

Willow writes stories to try to understand all these things and more.

He then wrote a book (Unlimited Potential: How to Stop Living with Fear, Doubt, and Uncertainty), started charging for his guidance, and started helping entrepreneurs to do the things they really want to do by teaching them how to “Make LIFE happen… Every Day!” (The mantra of No Doubt Nation.) using his expertise in productivity centered around the RACE Formula™.

Sarah and Zoey: A Story About The Power of Unconditional Love  

About Sarah and Zoey: A Story About The Power of Unconditional Love

From multi-award-winning author, Linda Watkins, comes a story of two women, from different walks of life, and the one dog who loved them both.

A feature writer for the Boston Globe, Sarah Palmer had it all – a beautiful apartment, a great job, and a family she adored. A thousand miles away, Mindy Sue Watson didn’t have it so good. Trapped in a marriage to an abusive alcoholic, her only pleasure was in tossing a ball to a skinny dog she’d adopted from the local shelter.

>>>Sarah & Zoey is the tale of these two women and the one remarkable dog who saved them both. It is a story of the power of unconditional love.

“Three disparate lives – two human, one canine – whirl through a circle of circumstance that is poignant, involving, and especially moving to dog lovers who want a novella about crisis, escape, and recovery. Sarah and Zoey can be read in short segments, so it’s perfect for busy fiction readers who want high drama packed into succinct chapters. The mechanics whereby loss and endangered lives heal are nicely portrayed in a winning story that emphasizes hope and offers an involving tale dog lovers will relish.” ~D.

THE RED BENCH: A DESCENT AND ASCENT INTO MADNESS by Jacqueline Cioffa  

THE RED BENCH-A DESCENT AND ASCENT INTO MADNESS by Jacqueline CioffaAbout THE RED BENCH: A DESCENT AND ASCENT INTO MADNESS by Jacqueline Cioffa

THE RED BENCH, a fantastical, visceral roman à clef follows Cioffa’s descent into mental illness and bipolar disorder as she struggles to pick up the pieces of her fractured life after a nervous breakdown. Committed to writing for 365 days she finds solace, hope, and strength through a red bench, imagination, the changing seasons and healing power of nature.

Editorial Reviews / Author Interviews
“In “The Red Bench,” Jacqueline Cioffa provides a raw, real and painfully honest description of her battles with bipolar disorder. As a clinical psychologist, I have had years of experience as a mental health provider and as an advocate. I can say with assurance that The Red Bench is perhaps the most eloquent first-person account of mental illness I have ever read. Cioffa’s narrative is both lyrical and disturbing, showing the full burden of her struggle, while also offering hope and inspiration for brighter days to come.” – David T. Susman, PhD

As Seen On Bridge Street:
Auburn Native’s New Memoir On Mental Illness
“The Red Bench” is a dark deep and brutally honest portrait of her struggle. “I wanted it to be, besides being a lifeline to sanity for me, it was a message of hope and resilience.” – Cioffa

‘It doesn’t discriminate’: Auburn native’s third book details mental illness
“There’s nobody that (mental illness) excludes. It didn’t matter that I worked for the best designers in the world. It didn’t matter that I had a lot of money or that I was living in Paris or Milan — none of that mattered. It doesn’t discriminate.” (Megan Ehrhart, The Citizen)

CNY Native Pens Memoir on Being a Model, Living With Bipolar Disorder-
“There are 46 million people living with this disease, and suicide is becoming more and more prevalent in our society,” said author Jacqueline Cioffa. “I just want people who may be alone and suffering through this, [to know] there is help.” (Briana Smith, Spectrum News Central New York)

Next Door Daddy  

About Next Door Daddy

I’ve been saving my V- card for the s$xy single dad next door,
So what if he doesn’t seem to notice me yet.
I’ll do everything in my power to seduce him,
Even if it means being a nanny to his 5 year old.
Every moment spent in his house makes me fall further and further in love with him.
Talk about chiselled abs and hard muscles!
I don’t care about his billions,
All I want is being with him forever.
But he’s damaged goods,
And his past haunts us both.
The question is – Is love enough for this relationship to flourish?
