About Relatively Sane

***Silver Medal Winner at the 2109 International Readers Favorite Awards!

“The Masterson clan is back and funnier than ever in this delightful tale. Dineen’s comedic timing is pure gold!” -Jennifer Peel, Bestselling Author of My Not So Wicked Stepbrother

Catriona Masterton’s family is not normal.

Her father has a passion for taxidermized animals that he dresses in the family plaid. Her mother has a penchant for hoarding kitchen gadgets and other oddities that leave her sanity in question. Her grandmother, Nan, has never met a swearword she doesn’t like.

Despite all this, party-planner Cat leaves the hustle and bustle of New York City to move back to her tiny hometown outside of Chicago. She even buys her parents’ farm with plans to turn the barn into a stylish wedding venue.

Enter House to Home Television’s Renovation Brothers. Cat gets accepted as one of the show’s projects, bringing two gorgeous brothers to her doorstep. Unbeknownst to Cat, the TV hosts are behind a secret her newfound boyfriend will go to great lengths to keep hidden.

With all the upheaval—her parents’ chaotic move, her grandmother joyfully causing trouble wherever she goes, a film crew documenting her home being torn apart, and her boyfriend’s odd behavior—Cat’s starting to wonder if signing up for a reality TV show was a big mistake.

Will the renovation be a success? Or will secrecy and jealousy make Cat regret the day she packed her bags and left New York?

Find out in this hysterical tale packed with small-town charm, family drama, and true love.

Author Bio:
Whitney Dineen is a rock star in her own head. While delusional about her singing abilities, there’s been a plethora of validation that she’s a fairly decent author (AMAZING!!!). After winning many writing awards and selling nearly a kabillion books (math may not be her forte, either), she’s decided to just let the voices in her head say whatever they want (sorry, Mom). She also won a fourth-place ribbon in a fifth-grade swim meet in backstroke. So, there’s that.

Whitney loves to play with her kids (a.k.a. dazzle them with her amazing flossing abilities), bake stuff, eat stuff, and write books for people who “get” her. She thinks french fries are the perfect food and Mrs. Roper is her spirit animal.

Broken Angels: A Novel  

About Broken Angels: A Novel

She stares at her mother’s clumsy lettering on the envelope. Nine years. Nine years since she stepped over her mother’s drunken body and into a cold Alaska night running south, leaving her mother forever. How did she find me? She hesitates, knowing the letter inside will drag her home; back into the bleakness of a life with no exit. Kris Gabriel, Alaska Native, and fierce like a wolverine, returns to Alaska–to find her mother murdered. Guilty she abandoned her in life, Kris only knows to fight. Relentlessly, she tracks a trail of pain, of lost love, of lives ripped apart by the frozen north’s unyielding laws, never suspecting that she has far more at stake than just finding her mother’s killer.

Broken Angels is a fast-paced Alaskan noir filled with richly drawn characters struggling to survive in a hostile country where there are no second chances.

Dragon Thief  

About Dragon Thief

Kal Was Not A Thief, And He Certainly Did Not Intend To Steal Any Dragon’s Treasure.

He was an adventurer. Avid art collector. Incurable wealth adjuster and risk-taker. Kal had legendary expertise in the security arrangements of palaces and noble houses the world over.
He hankered for remote, craggy mountaintops and the dragon hoards he might find hidden beneath them. Besides, what harm was there in looking? Dragon gold was so … shiny.

Most especially, he was not planning for any treasure to steal him. That was a little awkward, to say the least.

Rise and Thrive: A Guide for Transforming Your Mood, Cultivating Inspiration, and Living Vibrantly with Chronic Illness by Masumi Goldman  

About Rise and Thrive: A Guide for Transforming Your Mood, Cultivating Inspiration, and Living Vibrantly with Chronic Illness by Masumi Goldman

Has chronic illness sucked the life out of you? Do you feel mentally drained, physically exhausted, and totally apathetic about the future?

If you’re living with chronic illness—especially one that is unpredictable or painful in nature—life can feel difficult.

Your physical body might hurt.

You might be overscheduled with medical appointments.

You might have given up hobbies that used to bring you joy.

You might have canceled social plans on many occasions.

Your hopes and dreams might have taken a back seat to self-preservation.

The direction of your life might feel uncertain, and perhaps because of all of these challenges, your energy is low, your inspiration is non-existent, and you’ve lost the drive to live the life of your dreams.

In Rise and Thrive, you will embark on a 40+ day journey to reignite your passion for life. You might not be able to change your diagnosis, but you can regain control over the trajectory of your future by completely changing your outlook.

Rise and Thrive will lead you through a habit-based program to create the energy that you need to plan a life that you want to live. The idea behind this habit-based approach is that it’s much easier to cultivate a positive outlook than it is to convince yourself of one.

By completing a series of daily, uplifting tasks, you will build a thriving mindset, confidence, and a sense of accomplishment. Each task is like a mini goal that you set for yourself each day. When you meet goals—no matter how insignificant they seem—you feel productive and positive. This program gives back the coveted feelings of control, productivity and accomplishment that are often lost in the daily struggle of living with chronic illness.

You do NOT have to be cured in order to live an inspired, fulfilled life.

In Rise and Thrive, you will find:

A 40-day program that will teach you how to rise out of the darkness of chronic disease and develop a positive mindset.

Eight mood-boosting tasks that can be completed on a daily basis, regardless of how you feel physically.

Eight additional healthy lifestyle habits that can be incorporated into your life after the first 40 days, once your outlook has been transformed.

Questions at the end of each chapter to encourage self-reflection and observation during your journey to thrive.

If you are living with chronic pain and fatigue, you know that healing is not always a quick process. You do NOT have to wait to heal in order to live well. You can learn how to live with autoimmune illness while building the life that you deserve.

Whether you’ve been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic Lyme disease, or any other chronic condition, you can control the direction of your life, despite the unpredictability of your illness. You can rise and thrive!

A Gift You Don’t Want: A fun story and simple lessons for children to avoid germs, the flu and visits to the doctor! by Steven Viele, M.D.  

About A Gift You Don’t Want: A fun story and simple lessons for children to avoid germs, the flu and visits to the doctor! by Steven Viele, M.D.

Friends don’t let friends, or family, get sick, or at least they should try not to. Even younger children can learn a little about germs, how they are passed and what they can try to do to prevent getting or giving gifts, like colds or the flu, that nobody wants.

In their second book together, “A Gift You Don’t Want”, author, Steven Viele, M.D. and illustrator, Ashley McKeown, create a rhyming, fun and imaginatively illustrated story about a young boy who gets the flu and is told by his mom that his best friend gave it to him. He can’t understand why his friend would give him something so unpleasant. When his mother tells him she thinks he has given it to his sister, someone he’s not inclined to share anything with, he begins to realize that perhaps there are some things you give without knowing. You pass them along, though nothing is showing.

The book includes child friendly Flu Facts at the end to teach children about the flu & other respiratory viruses & how to avoid getting or giving them. These facts are reinforced by Discussion Questions and a Key to those questions for teachers and parents. While the book is particularly aimed at grade school age children, it can be enjoyed and educational for children as young as 3 to 5 and is perfect for ages 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10.

Author Bio:
Dr. Viele is a retired pediatrician, father to two adult daughters and now a children's book author in his second career. He has always been inspired by the imaginations of young children and spent much of the three decades of his pediatric career writing little poems motivated by the young minds and sweet innocence of both his patients and children. His attention was particularly captured as he watched them progress through childhood and advance from a land of magical thinking and dreams into a world of reality and structure. A Gift You Don't Want is the second of these books, following My Dog Is The Tooth Fairy, to be illustrated and published as a children's picture book. He hopes both children and their parents enjoy it and learn a little about colds and the flu and what they can do to avoid getting or giving these unwelcome maladies. steve@lollypopbooks.com

Author Bio:
Yes, Mitty Walters is a pen name. It's a tribute to the classic, not the recent. When I read that story, I was a homeless teenager who was never sure where he would be sleeping the next night. I had an instant connection with Walter Mitty. But I always felt like his dark reflection. Walter's wild fantasy life helped him to escape his boring reality. But my fantasy was just to have a boring reality.

Too bleak? Fine.

The truth is I joined the Merchant Marines when I was fifteen. When they asked for ID, I gave them my dead cousin's birth certificate. Next thing I knew I was on a bus headed to Savannah. When I hopped my first freighter, my heart was filled with all kind of romantic notions. But three straight days of puking cajoled me back to reality. I didn't set foot on land for another four months.

The Merchant Marine is not some mysterious gateway to adventure for young lads. It's just work, sweat, and misery. I didn't get marooned on any island, didn't rescue any damsels in distress. I just toiled away pointlessly. The most adventure I had was getting arrested in Thailand with a bunch of drunken idiots that I didn't even know. I learned to speak a little Cantonese while I was in there, though. I wasted away for a eighteen months, until the riots began.

Crap. Too bleak again?

Look. You can be honest. You don't care who I am. You just want to go on a wild ride. I'm cool with that. Let's do dis, yo. Just pick up the book and let's bounce.

The Diarrhea Diaries by Robert J. Emery  

About The Diarrhea Diaries by Robert J. Emery

Take a peek into the mind of the current President of the United States!

Ever wondered what Donald J. Trump is thinking at any given moment? Ponder no more because his mind is an open book… literally. The Diarrhea Diaries is not a political statement by me, but by Mr. Trump himself. Think of the 34 chapters containing 480 carefully assembled tweets as Donald Trump’s greatest hits album. As he rages and rants about everything from global warming to impeachment, we get a true view into the deep-seated hostility he hurdles daily at his perceived enemies. Transcribed exactly as he posted them online, these tweets contain all of the original spelling errors, typos, and departures from the truth… exactly as Mr. Trump wrote them. To better enhance the authenticity, headers in this book were written using a newly created and downloadable font called LittleHands that replicates Mr. Trumps hand writing that appears to have been penned with a big Sharpie pen.

But don’t mistake this book as a hit-piece. There is nothing made-up in this compilation. All tweets are accurate down to the excessive capitalization he is known for. Lift the curtain and enjoy the 3-ring circus that is Donald Trump’s mind.
