About The Whisperers by Ciana Stone

A three book set.
The Nash family has a legacy – no females are ever born into the family and all of the men are Whisperers. And their ability to charm doesn’t stop with horses. No, indeed, women are drawn to them like the proverbial bee to honey.

And there’s one catch. There’s a curse on the family, one that makes a Nash man’s chance at happily ever after slim to none.

At least until now. Join Jed, Jake and Jesse as they discover that there are things in this world stronger than curses, and that despite the fact that they are not looking for love, love just might find them.

Book One: Staking a Claim

Lust was a horse he could ride. Love? He didn’t believe in love. Until she walked into his life and changed everything.

Jed Nash had a few simple rules in life. (1.) Family always comes first, (2.) Know when to keep it in your pants, (3.) Don’t mix business and pleasure, and (4.) Don’t believe in love. All it brings is misery and heartache.

He had no trouble following his own rules. At least not until the new trainer on his ranch shows up. He was expecting a man. What he got was a woman who had him battling attraction that was hot and wild. Sure as sunshine, if she stayed he wouldn’t be able to keep his hands off her.

Book Two: Making a Stand

Jake, the good-time boy of the family, is finally stepping up to the plate and doing everything he can to help the family. He’s not only eager to help save the ranch, but also to prove to Teddy Morgan that he’s a man she can trust and depend on.

Seems the timing couldn’t be worst. The woman set on destroying the Nash family will stop at nothing to exact her revenge. No one will stand in Deidre Manning’s way. Not even her own stepson who is plotting against her.

Jake isn’t sure how to go about thwarting the Mannings and saving his family any more than he’s sure how to win Teddy’s heart. But he’s determined to do both because now that he’s found the woman he knows he wants to spend his life with, he’s going to do everything in his power to prove to her that he’s the right man for her.

Book Three: Taking a Chance

Jesse Nash has seen more trouble in the last year that in all the previous years of his life combined. And he’s more than ready for some good times.

He’d planned on retiring from the Rodeo circuit, but his family needed money and the Rodeo was his best bet of a big payday. And it paid off – in more ways that one. Not only did he take home the buckle and the purse as All Around Cowboy at Nationals, but he met someone – someone who has him thinking about more than a quick roll in the hay.

The problem is, the woman he is interested in, Carly Marsh, wants nothing to do with love and commitment. A quick roll in the hay? That she can do.
The tables are turned and Jesse isn’t quite sure how to deal with it. But he’ll figure it out and somehow convince Carly that there are some things worth taking a chance on. Like love. And him.

About Stolen Generation: A Short Story:

A life taken; a life preserved. Who decides the outcome of a child born to poverty, slavery, or simply the wrong skin tone or ethnic descent? At our core beats a heart, bestowing the gift of life, but who has the right to determine how that life should be lived?

Come with writer, Shari McGriff, on a powerful journey from modern day, back in time, to turn-of-the century Australia. A small child is chased down a dust-filled street and ripped from his mother’s arms. “Dust-to-dust”, they say, “when we pass from one life to the next.”

Vignettes explored, take the reader on The Trail of Tears, to the farms of wealthy landowners and the gas chambers of Nazi Germany. Families, decimated by greed and lust for power, stare at one another through tear-soaked eyes and a veil of forgetfulness. These are generations robbed of everything: their heritage, past and future, their family ties, and even their names.

Surely, today things are different, more humane and civil. There is no longer a kill the Indian, save the child mentality, or is there? The poor, the uneducated, and the inconvenient are victimized, as in days past. We are all human. Are we perpetrating our own stolen generation?

Deeply moving and forcefully conveyed, this is a short story that will impact the way you look at love, life, and the need to embrace the human family. Free your mind from all earthly cares and spend a few precious minutes in the soul of a child, desperate to share the joys, and sorrows that are our existence.

About Romancing a Mystery by Evelyn Cullet:

All Charlotte Ross wanted was a pleasant vacation. She wasn’t counting on solving a centuries-old mystery or falling for a handsome aristocrat.

A young woman in her prime, Charlotte has become bored living in the small Illinois town where she grew up–and is tired of her controlling mother trying to marry her off to the oldest and wealthiest men in town. So when her mystery-loving friend Jane Marshall suggests a driving trip across England, Charlotte eagerly packs her bags. But Charlotte gets more than she bargained for. Just two days in, their car breaks down in a thunderstorm, and the women take refuge inside Blake Hall, an ancient aristocrat’s lair with a long and rumored past. As guests of the British aristocracy, these out-of-place Americans stumble their way through a fox hunt, encounter imagined ghosts and discover a mysterious clue to a centuries-old murder that has remained unsolved–until now at least. Influenced by the novels of Jane Austen, Agatha Christie and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Romancing a Mystery is smart, savvy and at times, warmly romantic.

About True Age by Liv Byron:

Would you like to live for 300 years? The benevolent global government of LIV can help. With the miracle of Extender Technology, you can be a fit, healthy, sexy specimen for centuries.
All that’s required is a bit of genetic engineering, a daily dose of True Age Bromide and complete loyalty to a new world order.
While science can provide remarkable longevity for the individual, it also gives an unstoppable power base to those who control the technology. High Tier master Gemini has a plan to stretch the human lifespan to 1,000 years and beyond. His experimental group of Pioneers has already reached the 500 year mark.
Told through a series of vignettes, the novel weaves a world where the concept of time, at the mere human level, becomes warped beyond imagining.
In this new society, concepts such as marriage, work and the meaning of life must be retooled for the billions of people now fighting for their place on the planet. The search for fulfillment in an era when life goes on and on −even as resources dwindle −can be daunting.
How do people cope? Lara decides a sex change will help her deal with the extra time on her hands. Raba seeks solace in virtual reality. Sol escapes to a tiny corner of the world where nature’s way is still revered. The government provides a robust menu of options, it’s up to you to decide what will make your life worth living.
While most people decide to become Extenders and embrace the chance to live for centuries, there is a growing resistance. A faction known as Choosers keeps to the old ways and rejects unnatural longevity of the government’s Life Intensive Venture. Arnold Bonner is a Chooser. He won’t take the True Age Bromide that would keep him alive and instead grows his own herbal remedies – with noteworthy results.
A rebellion brews and soon explodes into a war between Extenders and Choosers that asks you to decide what matters most – living long or living well?
There is no easy answer.

Five Questions for True Age author Liv Byron
Q. Do you seriously think people will be able to live to 300 years of age someday?
A. Yes, without a doubt. Science is nearly there already. This book is more science illustrated through fiction, rather than science fiction of the outlandish idea genre. The bigger question, in my mind is, not if the human lifespan will be expanded but how will we manage all that extra time.
Q. So how do people, with these extra-long lives, cope in your story?
A. In True Age, we find people struggling with the two extra centuries they’ve been given. For one thing, there are not enough resources to adequately support them. On the up side, people are given the tools to ensure that they live relatively healthy, youthful lives for the duration – it’s not as if they are aging as we do now.
Q. The book talks about the Great Horror of Boredom, what’s that about?
A. Right, it is definitely the biggest challenge for the characters – to find meaning in life. Especially as most people have make-work jobs and assigned housing. There are not a lot of choices.
However, the government of LIV (the Life Intensive Venture) offers solutions, however. For instance, one can change one’s sex in the second century. Married couples take renewable vows. There’s a virtual reality sex machine which provides an opportunity for experimentation. There’s also a relocation service that helps you move to another area of the globe.
Q. Not everyone in the story lives three centuries, why is that?
A. There’s an opposition group that works to restore dignity to life, asking people to look at quality versus quantity of years. These people, called Choosers, have chosen not to become “extenders”, those who participate in life extension technology.
Choosers believe the old ways are best. Many of them grow their own food and strive to live as close to nature as possible in a world manipulated by technology.
Q. So are you, ultimately, saying it’s a bad thing to live 300 years?
A. Not at all. The point is to look at how individuals and societies can successfully support lifespans that even now are so much longer than they were 100 years ago. How do we make later years valuable and meaningful, how to we provide for aging populations and make room for the new generations coming in? How do we preserve the earth’s resources and population growth as people live longer and longer lives?

About Stepbrother Catfish:

I fell in love with a man I’ve never met.

In a moment of weakness, I created a profile on the hottest dating site in my area. I was lonely, only looking for a friend. I wasn’t expecting for the man of my dreams to come out of nowhere and send me a private message.

I wasn’t expecting to fall in love over the internet.

AJ and I have so much in common, it must be fate or destiny bringing us together. He’s my soul mate, he’s my other half. He knows everything about me and I feel like I know everything about him. I’ve shared my every fantasy with him, and all my dark secrets. He has shared his hopes and dreams with me, and all of his ambitions.

Yet I get the feeling he has some deep secret I haven’t uncovered yet…

About Jack Pine:

I couldn’t put this book down. Plenty of atmosphere in a fascinating part of the country. If you liked the movie FARGO then you will love this book.

Iris, Owner of Magic Tree Books

Jackpine is a first-rate crime thriller very much dependent upon the setting in which Hazelgrove has placed it. The author vividly portrays a lifestyle and a physical environment few Americans ever get the opportunity to see for themselves, and that is a big part of the fun of Jackpine.
Book Chase

With strong characters, a spectacular setting and a story that resonates politically, I believe that this book is very good material for a movie or TV miniseries, and I hope that some studio or producer will take on the project.
Good Reads

This is not a book I would typically read but I am so glad I did. It sucked me in on a roller coaster of a ride. The characters were well thought out and the plot very interesting. Right from the start this book swept you up with multiple agendas and many suspects in this who done it thriller.
