A Place to Call Home is the heartwarming and inspiring story of an abandoned white German shepherd puppy named Toby and his cross-country search for a forever home.

Toby’s life begins on a farm where the carefree, happy days he has known come to an abrupt end when his breeder decides to “dispose” of him and his sister Tara because of the color of their fur. With the help of a kind farmhand, the two puppies escape unharmed.

After a tumultuous time during which Toby is shuffled from place to place, he is finally adopted, but he quickly realizes his new family has deep-seated issues that put him in danger, and what seemed like an ideal home, turns into another place he must get away from.

As Toby struggles to find a forever home where he can feel safe and secure, he experiences some painful losses, but he also makes new friends—friends who will help him to trust humans again and show him the power of love.

Untouchable Lover  

UntouchableLover2Final-FJM_Low_Res_500x750About Untouchable Lover:

A devastating war…
Across the globe, shape-shifting Lemurian warriors battle against a deadly enemy in the dark of night. The prize—Earth’s most precious resource—water, and the fate of humankind. To unite the soldiers, Lemurian gods send the diverse species to the underground Keep to join forces with their brethren and contend against their adversary.

An illicit allure…
While searching for his missing healer, King Noeh didn’t expect to find an unusual, green-eyed female chained to the wall in an abandoned asylum deep in the woods, evidence of her torment in the branding iron at her feet. Captivated, he rescues the petite female and brings her to his underground home. Despite the requirement to select a queen of his species by the next new moon or lose his crown, a forbidden attraction blooms.

A tormented soul…
Haunted by the memory of her dead mate and child, Melissa can’t escape her past or her future. On the run from her controlling master, she didn’t intend to get captured by the enemy, or be rescued by a brooding, handsome king. When she succumbs to her need for a male’s blood and drinks from the honorable king, she can’t ignore the compelling desire he ignites in her soul.

Tupelo Honey  

Tupelo-Honey-coverAbout Tupelo Honey:

Publishers Weekly has this to say about TUPELO HONEY.

A humorous, unconventional family yarn about a young girl navigating a hardscrabble upbringing in northern Mississippi. Meet Tupelo Honey. She divinely lays out the framework and quirky intricacies of growing up in a house only “slightly better than an orphanage,” her days spent chattering with imaginary friend Moochi, and navigating sleepovers at her pious, curmudgeonly grandmother Marmalade and mentally unstable Uncle Randall’s ramshackle house. Things change when her mother, a callous, irresponsible junkie, brings home Nash, a paranoid local drug dealer whom Tupelo surprisingly bonds with during treacherous expeditions to New York and Mexico. Through bong smoke-filled hallways at home, the pageantry of kiddie beauty contests, Sunday School, and spying on Nash burying his stockpiles of drug money in the backyard, Tupelo somehow survives. Eventually, her mother replaces Nash with another man who lives in Los Angeles, and a heartbroken Tupelo begins resenting the unsettled nature of her life. After her grandmother dies, child welfare places Tupelo in a group foster home. A loveable, engaging, original voice, Tupelo brightens this accomplished tale of dysfunction in a family where “nothing had ever been right.”

The Ugly Princess: The Legend of the Winnowwood  

00-NEW-COVERAbout The Ugly Princess: The Legend of the Winnowwood:

What would you give up to be beautiful? I don’t mean attractive, or pretty or any other term you could conjure up to describe that thing most women seek to be or most men seek to be with. I mean staggeringly beautiful, men falling at your feet with hopeless adoration as they gaze upon you dumbfounded. That beautiful. I could become that beautiful if I chose, but only with a steep price. Would you pay the price? Does that call to your heart?

It doesn’t call to mine. Yes, when I look at the girl in the mirror, I see a young woman of average height and slight build. I see her lovely emerald green eyes and I see her coarse, orange hair poking out in all directions like some unnatural haystack. I see the forty-seven warts that line her face, which accompany one large lump and two small boils. You’d probably think that I would be more than eager to trade for the great gift of beauty because I know some, if not all of you, would call me hideous. But I don’t think of myself as ugly.

I think of myself as powerful, strong and fierce – for I have magical powers – powers that amaze and terrify me at times. And today is the most important day of my life, because today my mother will say the words over me and seal my fate. For I, Olive, am the last of the Winnowwood and this is my story.

Author Bio:
I’m an award-winning screenwriter and this is my first novel, which is based on the script I won the Austin Film Festival Screenwriting Award. It is about beauty and what beauty truly is. I dedicated it to: For all the girls who stand on the sidelines wishing they too could be beautiful. I hope you will let Olive show you how beautiful you truly are and the power that you already wield. Open your eyes to your own magic!

Beauty is an obsession for most women and I wanted to have an amazing heroine who was not beautiful, in fact, she’s rather ugly. But she is amazing and courageous and kind and incredible. Shouldn’t that trump beauty? Shouldn’t we know that we are so much more than what is on our face?

I grew up as a military brat who travelled the world with my family and we moved often (10 times before I was 12), which meant I had few friends, so my best friends became books that I would disappear into and love. I always liked to make up my own stories that involved all of my stuffed animals and the adventures we would have! Now, I want you to go on a new adventure with Olive, the ugly princess, who will amaze you.

Good Girl Gone Bad by Ben Westerham  

Good-Girl-Gone-Bad-cover-smallAbout Good Girl Gone Bad by Ben Westerham:

Good girls can seem ten-a-penny at times and some people would have you believe they’re sweet little things that wouldn’t harm a hair on a squirrel’s back. And in 1980s south London, private investigator David Good thinks he’s been lucky enough to find his very own example of well-behaved perfection.

But he really ought to have known better and it’s not long before he finds things are not all he was hoping for. In fact, he’s not got much further than a less than intimate lunch for two, when things start to go seriously pear-shaped, and almost terminal.

Join a love-filled Good as he wanders blindly in to someone else’s nightmare and find out just what it is that ends up leaving such a sour taste in his cynical little mouth.

Author Bio:
Ben was born in London and spent most of his childhood in the semi-rural environs of north-west Kent, before heading off to the altogether different and industrial metropolis of Manchester for three years ay university.

As study gave way to work, the urge to scribble became incessant and Ben spent many, many years doing just that, jotting down in an uncontrolled jumble anything and everything that jostled for space in his head. This eventually morphed into complete pieces of work as discipline was applied and resulted in novels, poetry, song lyrics, plays and even a few pieces of non-fiction. It was, though, crime that eventually won out (that is, writing crime, not committing it) and this has been the focus of Ben’s writing for several years.

Something else that became a key part of Ben’s writing during this time is humour, which is an important and frequently present element in his stories. Although primarily there to entertain the reader, it also helps Ben avoid the trap of taking himself and his writing too seriously.

But when things go dangerously awry, it takes all of his strength to get himself back to safety—and directly onto Lauren’s doorstep.

VtoV-ebook-series-SMALLAbout Vegas to Varanasi by Shelly Hickman

Anna has never been the beautiful one; she’s always been the nice one. So when the gorgeous man sitting across the table at a wedding reception remembers her from high school—and quite fondly at that—she’s taken off guard.

Formerly overweight and unpopular, Kiran has never forgotten Anna, the one person who was kind to him when no one else could be bothered, and Anna’s a bit flustered as she slowly comes to grips with his intense attraction for her.

In what feels like a romantic dream come true, all-grown-up, hunky Kiran invites Anna on a trip to Varanasi. But her troubled, whack-a-do ex-boyfriend starts interfering, creating drama at every turn, which begs the question, “Can nice girls really finish first?”
