About Jack Pine:

When the sixteen year old daughter of a prominent attorney is raped in a woodshed and a logger found shot the next morning, Deputy Sheriff Reuger London becomes embroiled in a war between environmentalists, the Ojibwa Indians fighting for their timber rights, and the ruthless son of a powerful logger. Ben Johnson is the biggest logger in the Northwoods and his son Cliff will soon take over the business. Logging is dying a slow death from environmental restrictions and all that’s left are the scrub firs and jackpine. But far up in the Boundary Waters of Northern Minnesota are trees called the Old Pines. These three hundred year Norwegian pines are priceless and Johnson Timber wants them.

A radical leader of Earth First, Tom Jorde, will do anything to stop the logging in the Boundary Waters. Then another logger is murdered and Jorde is implicated. The town pressures Reuger to stop the environmentalist and arrest an Indian, Tommy Toboken, for the rape of the girl. Tommy had saved his life once before and Reuger knows he is being setup. When he falls in love with the lawyer brought to town to defend Tom Jorde and realizes Johnson Timber is going to log out the Federally protected trees, Reuger is torn between old loyalties and what is right.

Q&A with Tasha Black:
Q: How did you get your start as a writer?
A: I’ve always loved to read – the steamier the steamy scenes and the more plot twists the better! When I started yearning for stories that didn’t exist, I realized that maybe I’d better write them myself. It has been an amazing adventure.
Q: What is it like, writing all those, um, steamy scenes?
A: When I sat down to write Curse of the Alpha it seemed to flow from my brain right onto the laptop screen until I got to the first really sexy scene. Then I got nervous, embarrassed and excited all at once. So I waited until midnight, when the whole house was quiet. I poured myself a gigantic glass of wine, sat down at the computer with a purpose, and the rest is history!
Q: You write about a small college town with a lot of tall trees and Victorian houses. Is Tarker’s Hollow a real place?
A: Wouldn’t you like to know? ☺ Tarker’s Hollow is inspired by my own hometown. But of course the characters are all fictional. We have no witches, and no shifters, but plenty of college professors! Many of them are just as handsome as the men I describe in my books.
Q: What was your inspiration for Curse of the Alpha?
A: I adore BBW shifter romance, but longed for a female character every bit as confident as those alpha males we all love! And so Ainsley Connor was born.
Q: If you were able to have lunch with any person, living or dead, who would you choose?
A: I would love to have lunch with Lev Tolstoy AND Viola Rivard. Is that allowed? It would be amazing to talk shop with those two expert serial writers! Who knows what they might have in common?

About They Call Me Crazy by Kelly Stone Gamble:

Discounted to 99cents April 6-11

Cass Adams is crazy, and everyone in Deacon, Kansas, knows it. But when her good-for-nothing husband, Roland, goes missing, no one suspects that Cass buried him in their unfinished koi pond. Too bad he doesn’t stay there for long. Cass gets arrested on the banks of the Spring River for dumping his corpse after heavy rain partially unearths it.

The police chief wants a quick verdict—he’s running for sheriff and has no time for crazy talk. But like Roland’s corpse, secrets start to surface, and they bring more to light than anybody expected. Everyone in Cass’s life thinks they know her—her psychic grandmother, her promiscuous ex-best friend, her worm-farming brother-in-law, and maybe even her local ghost. But after years of separate silences, no one knows the whole truth. Except Roland. And he’s not talking.

Author Bio:
Kristy K. James’ first goal in life was to work in law enforcement, until the night she called the police to check out a scary noise in her yard. Realizing that she might someday have to investigate scary noises in yards just as dark as hers if she continued on that path, she turned to her other favorite love…writing. Since then her days have been filled with being a mom and reluctant zookeeper (7 pets), creating stories, and looking for trouble in her kitchen.

Okay, so that was the official author bio, and it’s all true. Except the part about the pets. We lost one about a year and a half ago, 13 year old Shadow, and have recently added two more puppies, bringing the zoo total to 8.

My hobbies include watching pet rescue videos on YouTube, traveling around Michigan to find interesting places I’ve never been, and a new one that I didn’t really want. After finding out that I can’t have gluten (wheat) anymore, I started on a quest to replace favorite foods with options that won’t make it hard for me to breathe. Trying new products and tweaking recipes I find online, I’ve managed to do exactly that. For many things anyway.

You have to know I love to read, and I enjoy watching romantic movies, comedies, action/adventure (think Iron Man and Captain America), non-scary vampire flicks, and one zombie movie – the ‘cut’ version of World War Z. I made the mistake of choosing the uncut version on Netflix once. That was the day I learned there was a choice.

I’m not sure what else to say because I live a pretty normal life. Well, except for the fact that we have a few more pets than most people do. I just can’t bear the thought of shelter animals being put to sleep just because they don’t have a home.

About A Year Without Food: Discover the Unimaginable World of Proven Energetic Nourishment:

Can spirit really come over matter?

Discover how some of your greater paradigms are broken, and reshape the way you view reality.
Can human life be sustained without food or on imaginable small quantities?
The both scientifically researched and spiritual explained answer is in this book, but you will have to put aside many of today’s current paradigms once you realize and feel the compelling evidence.

After years of spiritual development, in search of a higher understanding of our path, Ray Maor decided to take the ultimate consciousness leap. Trusting in just the air to catch him, he undertook the dangerous but transformative Breatharian initiation.
As his soul and his body settled into this astounding way of living off the energy of Prana, he decided to go further again.

In a world first television broadcast, he agreed to go for eight days without not just food, but water as well – while his every movement was filmed. The Israeli film crew set up comprehensively ”big brothered’ living quarters with no privacy – at all, at any time! A senior medical specialist was brought in to review Ray every day. As well as mental state evaluation and a physical examination, bloods were taken daily. The doctor only agreed on the basis that he could make the final decision to abort the experiment if Ray was in danger. In line with current medical teaching, the doctor was confident that Ray would not survive more than a handful of days before dehydration caused his organs to begin to shut down. This book is not just Ray’s personal account of this remarkable experiment. From his uniquely Breatharian perspective, Ray shares his greater journey in order to promote our understanding of our spiritual-mental connection to our physical body. If you are looking to float to new heights in your spiritual journey this book is for you. Ray’s insights will change the way you think about the world you live in. He dismantles the very foundations of how we think it all works …

This book is a must!

“It is not my wish for people to stop being nourished from food, it is my goal to open up their consciousness to the fact that they are already being nourished energetically in a perfect manner and have them relearn and relive their eating and drinking experience a new, higher awareness point of view of excitement and self-love.”

The book is dedicated for those who seek a greater understanding or those who are on self-development path.
