The Serenity Stone Murder
About The Serenity Stone Murder
After a long winter in their small town of Jackpine, best friends Margaret and Louise are looking forward to enjoying some R&R in Thunder Bay. Louise has insisted that their stay include taking part in a women retreat. Margaret plans to track down a reclusive wildlife artist to persuade him to do a workshop for her art club in Jackpine.
Things get off to a rocky start when their hotel refuses to accommodate Louise’s canine companion Vince, and they are forced to stay at a dodgy establishment over a strip bar. Then Margaret clashes with the retreat leader. To complicate matters further, a dead body turns up next door to their retreat.
The deceased turns out to be a local casino manager with a lot of enemies. When Margaret spots the dead man’s widow being squired around town by a male companion, her curiosity is piqued. The ever-intrepid friends, against all advice and their better judgment, become embroiled in looking for clues to the murder. It’s a search that takes them all over the city and surrounding countryside, where they encounter a whole cast of possible suspects, including a dangerously lovelorn church organist, a stripper-turned barmaid, a fiery septuagenarian, and a widow with very expensive tastes. But are they getting too close to the truth for their own good?

Author Bio:
Luisa Marietta Gold was born in Pennsylvania where she spent a large part of her adult life. She moved to North Carolina after the birth of her only daughter. She published her debut novel, Escape to Osprey Cove, which is Book 1 of The Osprey Cove Lodge series in September 2016. The Osprey Cove Series was born from Luisa’s love of the Rideau Lake region of Canada, the outdoors, and lake life. She spent many years enjoying the Rideau region while staying in lodges reminiscent of the lodge in her first novel. She currently resides on eleven acres in her North Carolina home near an idyllic lake with her husband and several mixed labs. She spends as much time as possible enjoying the beauty of the lake. Luisa also does acrylic painting. The cover of her debut book which features The Lady Droxell on a Canadian lake was painted by her. It was very satisfying to Luisa to know that she created the entire project. There is a tea room not far from her home where one selects a hat to wear while dining as did Libby and Rosalind in the book. And sometimes they are silly. Luisa’s bio picture was taken there.

Love and Money, 2020
Love and Money, 2020 utilizes the date of your birth to determine which days are your personal best days best for romance, money, travel, business, and fun.
What are your Luckiest Days of 2020? What are your Unluckiest Days of 2020?
What day should you have your wedding? Or plan for a sexy date? What dates are the best days to meet someone new? What dates are best for romance in 2020?
What day should you play the Lottery or gamble in some other fashion? Which days are the Luckiest Day of the entire year to play the Lottery? Do you want to know what days you should play and what days you should save your money and don’t play? I won $30, 204.05 on my Lucky Day and I firmly believe that you can at least do as well as that, if not better.
Would you like to know specifically what colors are Lucky just for you? Did you know that every day of the week and every month has a Lucky Color associated with it? Do you want to know what color should you wear on Monday to manifest some money into your life? All of that is included in this eBook.
Did you know that the date you were born is indicative of your hidden talents? Did you know that if you were born on the Twenty Eighth of the month, you are a gifted leader? What does the day of the month that you were born say about you? I have included descriptions for all Thirty-One birthdates.
This book offers all of that and more. I have also calculated everyone’s Lucky Days and Challenging Days for every month of the coming year.
Use the guide to help you determine which days are going to be your Luckiest Days each month. You will also find out which days are your most Challenging for every month. Also included is your Luckiest and Unluckiest Days of the entire year. Don’t you want to know which days are going to be best for you?
There is also a comprehensive Numbers in Love Compatibility Guide. Did you ever wonder why certain relationships did not work for or why some did? After many years, I have finally found the right match for me. Please use this Guide to find the right match for you. This also includes matches for all the Master Numbers.
I dislike Numerology books that take the Master Numbers and are so quick to just reduce them a single digit Number. My life is full of people that are Master Numbers and I like to treat the Master Numbers special. Because that is what they are, special. Certainly not every Master Number is living up to their true potential, but many of them that surround me are. This eBook also includes monthly forecasts for the Master Numbers as well.
I hope that you use this information to your advantage to get the most out of 2020. Wishing you love and luck in the coming year.

I thought long and hard about what to say here that would make you interested in my eBook. I am a big fan of the truth, so here it is. On November 30th, 2018, I won $30,204.05 in a Florida Lottery Game called Fantasy Five.
It’s fine if you don’t believe me. Go onto Facebook and look for Penny Numbers and go look at my profile pic. The third set of numbers were the winning numbers that day.
I am blessed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and I became obsessed with why did I win on that particular day? I won on a Friday and I was born on a Friday. So that was something. I ate a good lunch at a place I hardly go. Was it because I ate there? Was the underwear I was wearing that day my Lucky underwear from now on?
A few days later, while studying numbers for my next Lottery picks, I noticed that if I added up all the numbers in the day I won, it equaled the number Seven.
November 30, 2018
1 + 1 + 3 + 0 +2 + 0 + 1 + 8 = 16
1 + 6 = 7
Most likely, I grew up a little differently then you. My mother taught me at an early age that I was born in the Year of the Green Wood Dragon, under the sign of Cancer the Crab, and that according to Numerology, my Life Path Number is 7. Of course, I won on that day. Any date that adds up to 7 is my Lucky Day.
My new obsession became Numerology. I studied, attended lectures, and earned enough credits to become a Certified Numerologist. I calculated my Lucky Days for the Year of 2020 and then I decided to calculate everybody else’s, including yours.
2020 is going to be an amazing year to manifest any desire related to money and I want you to be able to use the system I used to win. Do I only play on my Lucky Days? No, but I do spend most of my Lottery Budget on my Lucky Days. I also save any ticket that won a free ticket and wait until I have a Lucky Day to cash them in.
When I started writing this it was all about the money. Write the eBook, sell a boatload of them at a high price, and make a ton of money. Simple. But somewhere on this journey it became less and less about the sale price of this eBook. I was consumed with my love of the subject matter. It became more important for me to realize my dream of publishing an eBook that would bring the same Luck and Good Fortune to as many people as possible, by sharing my Numerology Forecasts for 2020. And if you are reading this then I did.

Author Bio:
Nadya Primak is a software engineer who may or may not have worked at more jobs than she has fingers (and yes, she still has all her fingers). She was born in Krasnoyarsk, a small icy town in Siberia, grew up in Rochester, a small icy town in Minnesota, and went to college in Oberlin, a small, icy town in Ohio before finally putting her frigid past behind her and moving to Washington, DC, where the dark forecasts tend to be more political and less weather-related.
After taking classes in art and creative writing and dreaming of an exciting life in game design, she settled down into a career filled riveting tasks like designing the look of a mass email (which was never actually sent), changing the display of an app to make it five pixels wider (because every pixel counts) and attending team meetings on whatever company synergy is. Big tech companies, small startups, and even a liberal arts college—she has worked at them all.
Along the way, Nadya learned a great deal about programming, which is complicated, and about corporate culture, which is even more complicated. After a few moments where she wanted to pull out her hair in frustration, she wrote her first book, Foot in the Door, so that other people would be able to jump-start their career with their scalps intact. She has also published blog posts on Hackernoon, Code Like a Girl, and Gamasutra, and, now that her career has finally settled down, is working on catching up on her game-making. Her first VR game, Nightcrawler Bowling, is available on Steam.
