About Fortune’s Folly by Cat Dubie

SYNOPSIS

In 1854 EDEN FITZGERALD, a brave, bold sprite of seven, witnesses her mother’s death, then along with an English boy, ALEX BANNING, embarks on a harrowing kidnap-and-escape adventure. Twelve years later Eden and Alex meet again in the British province of Prince Edward Island. It seems a chance encounter but he’s there by design–as an agent [albeit reluctant] in Her Majesty’s Secret Service he is investigating her family’s connection with the Irish Republican Brotherhood.

Passionately attracted to each other, Eden and Alex have a brief, torrid romance. When her father and brother are imprisoned for smuggling for the IRB, Eden feels Alex betrayed her family, and her love for him sours. Alex, though beguiled by Eden, believes she is herself involved in the crimes and, disgusted with how his assignment turned out, leaves on another job.

Desperate to have her father and brother freed, Eden, pregnant with Alex’s child, agrees to a marriage of convenience with ANDRÉ FONTAINE, a young French Canadian from a wealthy, influential family. He promises his family will ensure her father and brother are released. In exchange he wants to claim her child as his own, thus satisfying his family, and continue his pursuit of another woman.

Eden’s life in the exciting city of Montreal would be satisfying were it not for her brother-in-law LOUIS FONTAINE, a man used to controlling the lives of his family. Eden, outspoken, independent, a budding feminist, brings him aggravation and, as he perceives it, shame to the proud family name. After she gives birth to twin sons, he remains suspicious of her motive in marrying his brother.

When her brother is released but her father sentenced to life in prison, Eden learns that for the right amount she can hire people to arrange her father’s escape. Just as Louis learns some of her secrets, she learns of his plan to transport illegally-obtained money and finds a way to rob him. Needing yet more money, she dons a mask, carries a pistol, and becomes highway robber separating the wealthy from their money and jewelry. Louis discovers the twins are not André’s and threatens to expose Eden. Needing to buy time, and his silence, she takes Louis as a lover.

With enough money to pay for her father’s escape, Eden sees the realization of all her dangerous labors. Her father is free and they have a short, tearful reunion before his saviors whisk him to New York. And just in time, for her crimes are catching up to her. Louis is becoming alarmingly obsessive, there are police and secret agents after her, as well as a smuggler she once double-crossed. Her clever masquerade comes to a crashing, near-deadly end. Suddenly she, her husband and children must flee when André is accused of murdering his mistress’ husband. Before they are completely safe, however, André is killed by a mysterious horseman.

Thousands of miles to the west, Alex is wintering in a trapper’s snowbound compound. He has a vision of Eden in all the phases of her life, from brave child to desirable woman, ending with an erotic memory of the last time they were together. Somehow they will be together again.

At the same time Eden thinks of Alex, but not with the romantic notions she once had. She shakes off her memories and prepares to proceed with her sons into the vast wilderness of the Northwest Territories, determined to find her fortune.

Author Bio:
Cat Dubie’s love of words began early. With a crayon in hand she first drew stories, with a pencil she wrote them. As for reading, she was the girl who always had her nose in a book, the one who read with a flashlight under the covers or, when the moon was full, sat by a window for hours laughing, crying, loving characters whose adventurous lives wouldn’t let her sleep.

She has traveled the world in books. She has traveled back to the dawn of time and far into the future in books. Her keen interest in history determined the nature of her books, and the first Historical romance novel she read, settled the genre.

After working for various levels of government, she retired and now lives in the beautiful province of British Columbia, where she indulges in her need for creating stories about romance, adventure, passion, mystery, love …

About The Finding: The Legend of Oescienne (Book One)

When the dragon Jaax receives word that a human infant has been found in the province of Oescienne, he doesn’t dare believe it. Humans have been extinct for centuries, trapped by a terrible curse and left to live out their existence in the form of dragons. Despite his doubts, however, Jaax assumes responsibility for the baby girl only to discover that what he has been seeking for so many years has finally been found.

Jahrra knows all about the legends and sagas of Oescienne, but never in her wildest dreams would she believe that she played a part in one of them. She is far too busy dodging the bullies at school and seeking out new adventures with her friends to worry about what secrets her dragon mentor might be keeping from her, or that her every move is being watched by something living in the forest surrounding her home.

But the secrets run deep, and as Jahrra fights to earn her place in this extraordinary world, she will begin to unravel the truth of it all: that she isn’t as safe as she thought she was, that danger lurks around every corner, and that her role in this unfurling tale is far more significant than she could possibly imagine.

About Seaton’s War by Lily Ennis

Seaton’s War is a story of love, secrets and lies set in a sleepy New Zealand town in the latter half of WWII. When a Japanese submarine beaches the residents are shocked that the Pacific War has come to them. To some the event brings opportunity for personal gain or for genuine war work. For Kitty Williams it is a chance to prove she can do more for the war effort than knit socks for Red Cross parcels. Taking a stand against the establishment Kitty teaches the POWs English with the intention of learning enough Japanese to be able to intercept their radio transmissions. When Kitty makes an unusual find she confides in physicist Dr. Robert Anderson, who operates a direction finder, tracking movements of ships and submarines in the Pacific. But all is not as it seems with the shy academic and Kitty begins to question where his sympathies lie. Too late she realises she has fallen in love with him. As Kitty immerses herself in her work, her landlady Rowena struggles with the fact that her husband John is incarcerated in German occupied Poland. Rowena’s unorthodox method of dealing with her situation is a source of tension between her and Kitty. Woven through the book is Kitty’s relationship with her best friend Maybelle who has left Seaton to work for Navy Communications. She provides Kitty with a different slant on the events in Seaton through newspaper clippings and letters, and she regales Kitty about life in the city now the Americans have arrived. The Pacific War, secret liaisons, the spy game and the quest for liberation in Europe weave seamlessly through Seaton’s War. As Kitty battles for personal recognition she puts her life on the line for love, honour and above all, integrity.

Author Bio:
I have a business background principally in valuing property. I completed an Earth Science degree (geology) in 2010 and decided a great way to channel the passion I have for the sciences is to combine it with writing. So look out for highly motivated and academic heros and heroines. I’ll see if I can’t get a little romance going for them!

My home for the past 29 years has been a one hundred year old timber farmhouse on a few acres of land outside the gorgeous town of Thames in New Zealand. My husband and I host touring cyclists and we also enjoy cycling. One day we hope to be touring the world on our bikes.

A goal of mine is to complete a walk from the tip of New Zealand at Cape Reinga to the bottom of New Zealand at Bluff. I am loosely following the Te Araroa Trail and have completed several segments during the holidays – yes I work full time in a law firm. Of course, one day the walk will be the subject of a book. That fact alone is motivation enough to complete the walk. It’s tough.

I have tried to live in a minimalist fashion over the last few years and to this end I find that I am even more aware of my environmental footprint than ever before. As a science graduate I am acutely aware how fragile planet Earth is and my message to all is that we must tread lightly, purchase goods ethically and with thought and treat everything in nature with awe.

Meanwhile I have plenty of ideas in my head to keep the typewriter keys clacking.

Enjoy my site and my books.

About The Fine Owl Solution

At first sight, Minus Allswell could very well be the most paranoid individual you could possibly meet. And rightfully so. This pale-orange tabby knows some at the CIA want the president dead, he’s a member of the conspiracy—but one that wants no part of it.

He’s spent the better part of the last two years embedded at the Dallas County Library, stocking shelves and filling orders. Waiting. And now, with only a week to go before the balloon goes up, he has yet to unravel the plot; to bring justice to the ghouls responsible.

Just one more week…

And he’s in the dark. Contending with his handler, a CIA squirrel that seems to be equal parts alcohol, and masochist; an altruistic bobcat, with his “book to change the world”; and, perhaps the key to it all, the gifted FIB agent—a housecat raised by the owl.
