As Coroner Ad Hoc for the small bayside community of Northampton County on Virginia’s Eastern Shore, she sees every deadbeat in town. So, when the Coast Guard locates the sun-bleached bones of a skeleton on a nearby breakwater ship Paige makes it her business to determine the identity of the deceased. She has few clues to go on.

With colorful descriptions of Virginia’s beautiful Eastern Shore and her unique community of locals, BREAKWATER SKELETON UNKNOWN is the second installment in the Cherrystone Creek Mystery series. Don’t miss the first book in the series, LITTLE GIRL UNKNOWN, which introduces Paige, Nott, and Tim, as well as their scenic – and mysterious – fishing town. Get hooked today!

About The Menopause Support Group

Three women, one menopause support group, and a whole lot of hot flashes.

Emily’s perfect plan for becoming a mommy in her twenties has just been shattered by a cancer-removing hysterectomy, and her anger is all-consuming.

Michelle’s been laser-focused on getting a promotion… until early menopause (at thirty-nine??) hit her hard last year. Now that she can’t have a baby, she’s obsessed with them. And also with getting that promotion.

Sixty-four-years-young Brenda takes care of everyone, whether they want her to or not. She’s actually finished with menopause, but she’s faking symptoms so she won’t lose the group and the opportunities for “helping” others it provides.

The three of them and their fellow group members work through career crises, marriage disasters, and the world’s worst birthday celebration as they learn together what it means to be a woman in menopause and beyond.

To celebrate the book’s release on June 30th, its price is reduced to only 99 cents until midnight EST July 4th!

Seen and Sometimes Heard: Observations 2018-2020 by Martha Burnett

Seen and Sometimes Heard: Observations 2018-2020 is an homage to the lost art of randomly listening in on other people’s conversations. The book references cartoonist Stan Mack’s comic strip that ran from 1975 to 1995 in the free paper the Village Voice: “Real Life Funnies. All Conversations Guaranteed Overheard 100% Verbatim”. Problem is, random listening today isn’t what it used to be. I tried. I spent a fair bit of time riding buses and subways, wandering around, sitting in coffee shops, hanging out. But social spaces in the 21st Century simply cannot compare to those of the late 20th Century. Then the Pandemic of 2020 hit. Subsequently, what began as a series of illustrated observations of the world around me in 2018 and 2019 ends with personal comments on life lived during Covid-19.

Award winning Author of the Independent Press Award and NYC Big Book Award. A.L. Long is also the recipient of the National Indie Excellence Award.

My love for writing began several years ago after an early retirement from a demanding job that I loved, but also hated because it consumed so much of my time. Now, I am able to focus my time on what I love. Writing romance has been a life long dream and to actually say that I am a published author is beyond what I would have ever expected.

Even though some may say I have a little naughtiness in my books, I look at it as an added bonus for my readers. After all what is a romance book without a little spice.

When I am not writing, I enjoy spending time with friends either at home or out on the town. Mostly, I enjoy a relaxing night at home where I can enjoy a glass of wine in the company of a good book.

About Dare to Hope by Madison Michael

She’s Betting on Love and the Stakes are High

The “Crazy Eights,” eight women who have been friends for 30 years, have a powerful connection yet rarely see each other. At a pivotal time in their lives, they create a way to remedy this predicament, an audacious dare contrived to bring them together for weddings – each participant must get married within twelve months. The stakes are high. Win the bet and lose your heart; or lose the bet and perform a personally mortifying task.

In the first of their stories, we meet Eliana, beautiful and brilliant, but starting over, focused on her career, not on some foolhardy dare. Longing for a family but recently divorced and on her own, Eliana sets her sights on a new job, a new home and accepting her single, childless status. Independent and determined, she has no idea that in less than six months she will both win and lose her heart’s desire.

Jeremy Klein, genius engineer and inventor, is also making life changes. He’s sold his startup to a major medical device company, becoming President and CEO, and a billionaire before he is forty. Although he’s gun-shy about the dating game, Jeremy knows it’s time to apply his smarts, sex appeal and new-found success to finding true love.

When Eliana meets Jeremy, they bond quickly. The couple has so much in common and a chemistry that sizzles. Winning Eliana feels like a fantasy come true to Jeremy. Their attraction is immediate and electrifying, and a one-night stand morphs into planning a future. But plans change. On track to wedded bliss, baby and all, Jeremy and Eliana are derailed by accusations that threaten their relationship, Eliana’s career and Jeremy’s future as CEO.

Spies, lies, allegations and misunderstandings abound, threatening to destroy their happiness. That is, until those “Crazy Eights” get involved, scheming and manipulating to win Eliana her happily ever after. Can a group of determined friends help Eliana and Jeremy hold onto love?

In the tradition of The Beguiling Bachelor Series, Madison Michael creates a romance series about independent and sassy women, sexy and successful men, true love, and lasting friendships.
