About The Eagle and the Fox (A Snowy Range Mystery):

Suspense/mystery with a dollop of romance, gay literary fiction

Josiah Foxglove is given a second chance when he takes over his family’s spread in the shadow of the Snowy Range. A veteran of the Gulf War, he came back broken in body and spirit.

Marcus Colton buried his long-time lover and best friend three years ago. Lonely and still grieving, Marcus finds solace in protecting Petilune, a pretty girl with learning difficulties, who will surely become a victim of abuse and neglect without his help. But that doesn’t help him get through the long, dark nights.

When violence wracks the small community of Centurion, WY, it’s easy to place blame on Petilune’s mysterious new boyfriend, Ojibwe teen Kit Golden Eagle. It looks open and shut, but for Josiah and Marcus the facts simply don’t add up.

Something’s rotten in Centurion, something that smacks of a hate crime…

About Linked Through Time by Jessica Tornese:

Fifteen year old Kate Christenson is pretty sure she’s about to experience the worst possible summer at her grandparent’s farm in rural Baudette, Minnesota. Without cable, cell phones, or computers, Kate is headed for total isolation and six tedious weeks of boredom. Until the storm.
A freak lightning accident has Kate waking up in 1960. But she is not herself. She is the aunt she never met, but has eerily resembled her entire life. Thrust into living a dirt poor, rural farm life, Kate struggles to make sense of her situation- a boyfriend with a dark side, a “townie” who steals her heart, and the knowledge that 1960 is the very summer her aunt drowns in the local river.
Even with every precaution, Kate cannot stop fate, and an unexpected twist adds to her dilemma. To her horror, Kate finds out firsthand her aunt’s death was not an accident or a suicide, but something much, much worse.

About The Final Quarter (A New League, Book 2):

The stories in the A New League series are not the stories of the men or women playing the game – but rather, what happens after the game is done playing with them…

A quarterback facing the end of his career must come to peace with his past, and accept his present, before he can move on with his future.

Mitch Ryland accomplished what his father said he never would—he made something of himself.

When his wife suggests she’d like to start a family, Mitch is thrown for a loop. He’s never told her about his life before he ended up with his foster parents, or his plans never to become a father. So when he’s taken out of the game, his failings from the past come back to haunt him, and Mitch blames his injury on his loss of focus. He’s unprepared for his career as a professional quarterback to be over. Nor is he ready to tell his wife about why football is so important to him. He’d rather put emotional and physical distance between them and focus on getting back in the game.

Serena Ryland has dreamed of becoming a mother. But when she mentions the idea to her husband, he freezes her out and she has no idea why. She’s worried that if they don’t start talking soon, she’ll lose him forever. When he refuses to come home to mend from an injury, she takes matters into her own hands, determined to spend more time with him, hoping to reignite the romance in their relationship. But she’s unprepared for the things she learns on this trip. Her husband has been carrying a few secrets that just might change the outlook of their future.

About Anne Lange:

Shoes are her addiction, but books are her passion. Anne Lange grew up with a love for reading. If you take a close look, she’s got either a book, her Kindle or her Kobo—maybe all three—tucked into her bag or a pocket when she leaves the house. You know, just in case there’s time to sneak in a chapter or ten. Anne reads many genres of romance, but prefers to write sexy stories, often with a dash of humor, and usually with a side of those sinful pleasures your mom never told you about.

Oh, and always a happily ever after.

While embarking on this wild journey of becoming a romance author, Anne juggles a full time job and a family. Not always successfully. Who needs a clean house every day? And what’s wrong with cereal for dinner? She lives in Ontario, Canada with her wonderfully supportive husband, three awesome kids who are growing up way too fast, and Rocky the bearded dragon.

Author Bio:
A native of the south, Glenn Trust was born in Columbus, Georgia in 1951, the first of five children.

His father’s work as a salesman filled his early years with moves from the banks of the Chattahoochee River in Georgia to Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Petersburg, Virginia and Baltimore, until finally returning to the Atlanta area in 1965. From then on, he remained a Georgian, going to school and growing up in the Atlanta area.

Varied work and life experiences have given him an appreciation for the virtues and faults of people at all levels of society.

He says about his work, “For the record, I love people, the humanity that populates the world. People are infinitely interesting, all of them. I may not like certain individuals and I may hate the things they do, but as a group, I am fascinated by people.

“I do work at trying to understand human strengths and frailties, and try above all else in writing to bring life and reality to the characters in my stories. The white hats the heroes wear are intentionally spotted and grayed by their own demons and struggles. The bad guys are not always misunderstood Robin Hoods. Sometimes they are just truly bad with no possibility of social redemption.

“In the end, the stories are fiction, about fictional people. I believe that through fiction, some of the greatest truths may be discussed and discovered about our humanity, or the lack of it.

“Finally, like real people, the characters I try to paint are not completely good and rarely completely evil. Like most of us, they lie somewhere in between.”

To date, Glenn Trust has authored eight novels including The Hunters series of mystery/suspense thrillers and the Blue Eyes mystery/romance series featuring the exploits of Alice Trent, a woman making her way in a difficult world.

The work he considers his most important is Dying Embers, a novel about friendship, coming of age and overcoming the societal failings of the past. It is set during the turbulent days of the 1960’s in the south during desegregation, a time that he personally experienced.

Lightning in the Clouds, a collection of short stories dealing with “end of life” events was published in February 2015. Others are planned.

While writing is his passion, he is also an avid RVer, walker, guitar player and reader. He resides with his wife in the western US where they make the most of every opportunity to get outdoors and enjoy this beautiful world.

About If You Were Me and Lived in …Kenya: A Child’s Introduction to Cultures around the World:

Let’s travel to Kenya! Number five in this exciting series travels to Africa to learn about the thrilling country of Kenya. This extraordinary book “If You Were Me and Lived in…Kenya- A Child’s Introduction to Cultures Around the World” explores life for children on a new continent. The book touches on many familiar topics such as names, money, games,and food as well the sites and sounds that come with living in Africa. Embraced by educators, parents, and children, the series gently and respectfully introduces the subjects of cultures and customs around the world. On “If You Were Me and Lived in…South Korea”: “Roman has proven her skill at writing children’s books with her Captain No Beard series, as well as with the other volumes in her cultural series. If you were me and lived in …South Korea uses a technique of speaking directly to the child reading or listening, similar to Laura Numeroff’s If You Give a…series. This strategy is well suited to a book about foreign cultures as it gives little imaginations a boost by helping children envision themselves growing up with customs and traditions different from the ones they’re familiar with…” Peter Dabbene ForeWord Reviews Clarion Review On “If You Were Me and Lived in…France”: “It is the simplistic and positive way that Roman,a former social studies teacher, delivers the text, that makes this series appealing-the books are short and to the point and just what you want when you’re introducing geography and culture to the youngest reading set.” Bianca Schulz-The Children’s Book review.

About A Mighty Good Man:
Her personal and professional life on the skids, writer ‘Hank’ Jerry is forced to return to Fiddler’s Elbow, the small town she left behind, in the wake of a family emergency. There, she’ll pinch hit, minding her aunt’s restaurant, Mighty Ricky’s, but only as long as she absolutely has to, and then it’s back to New York City to do damage control.

Fresh out of prison, former gang leader Jack “Gent” Darcy is hell bent on walking away from his role as war counselor in national super gang, the Creds. But the gang has other ideas.

Injured and barely a step ahead of gang enforcers out for blood, Jack lands on Mighty Ricky’s doorstep, out of time and out of options. Hank is terrified, but makes the split second decision to offer him refuge – in the walk-in cooler. By playing it cool, she’s able to send the enforcers on their way – and she’s ready to do the same with Jack. But he offers up his talent for cooking – a skill he picked up in prison – as barter, after what she did for him.

In short order, Jack makes her a proposition she can’t refuse – write his exclusive, no holds barred story about life inside one of the most powerful gangs in the country. It’s simple – she’ll get her career groove back, and he’ll bury the gang, then disappear – his version of freedom.

But sparks fly as she, a ballsy broad, and he, a strange combination of gentleman and hood, butt heads. It’s not long before their romance is as hot as the copy she’s writing, but they’re both sitting on a powder keg of secrets ready to blow. With time running out and gang enforcers closing in, can the trust they’ve forged survive the ultimate test?

A gritty good read, A Mighty Good Man serves up heaping helpings of romance, suspense and second chances.
