Lucy Green Eyes by Paulette Benjamin
About Lucy Green Eyes by Paulette Benjamin
“Oh, how I wished I could’ve told her what had happened. How I wished I could’ve let go and allowed the tears to spill. But I knew that if I had cried, Mama would’ve asked me what the matter was. And if I had told her the truth, she would’ve said that I was lying. And if she thought that I was lying . . . well, you know the rest.
Still, I wonder . . . did she know?
Did anyone know?
Didn’t everyone know?”
Lucy Green Eyes is a true story depicting actual events in the life of a young girl, Merlene McDaniel, who was given away at birth to be raised by her grandmother. As Merlene grows, she has to learn to cope with the stains of her illegitimacy, molestation and parental abandonment, all while maintaining a lying grin to uphold her brave facade. A captivating and soul-tugging account of the emotional and physical endurance possessed by an innocent child, Lucy Green Eyes is a cacophonous narrative of a young girl whose inner strength allows her to ride on the wings of endless hope. And we can’t help but ride along.

Author Bio:
I was born in South Carolina but moved to New York when I was three years old. I went to Professional Children’s School in NYC where I was exposed to the arts. Although I loved writing from the time that I was eight years old, the passion was fueled after I got into high school and college where I majored in it.
Once I was old enough to hold a pencil correctly, I began writing stories about getting the baby sister that I so badly yearned for. I’d write every night before bed until one day my mom told my older brother and me that she was going to have a baby. We were both beyond ecstatic, although my brother cried when we learned that the baby was a girl. I screamed for joy because I finally had my sister. Then about a year later, my mom gave us a little brother. Four years after that, we got another baby sister and two years later, another sister. Moral of the story: Be careful what you write for.
The idea for Lucy Green Eyes came into thought in 1997. My mother would always talk about what her life was like as a young girl having to run from her strict grandmother’s switches, and dodging dirty old men in the cotton field, outrunning trucks that’d be in hot pursuit of her and finding ways to become invisible to her molester. Then one day my sister and I said, “Hey Ma, your life can be a book.” Hence the birth of Lucy Green Eyes.

With her brother finally free from the horrors of foster care and her own personal hero hell bent on teaching her all the magical ways her body belongs to him, her once-in-a-lifetime feels so real.
But before their honeymoon suitcases are packed, a knock on the door and a best friend’s betrayal threaten to tear them apart. Beckett will cross oceans and leave a path of destruction behind to protect what is his, but when promises are broken, and the truth is revealed, will their all-consuming love be enough to carry them through?

Author Bio:
Dani Wyatt used to feel bad about having such dirty thoughts. Luckily, one day she decided to starting writing them down. Her uber alpha heros have a wicked possessive streak and an insatiable libido. Her heroines are intelligent, quirky and worry about having too much muffin top. With her books, you can count on a heaping helping of HOT and always a happily ever after.
When she’s not writing (which is not often) she is probably laughing about some irony (like A-1 Steak Sauce is vegan), riding her horse, wondering why The Walking Dead can’t have a new episode every night, or looking cross-eyed at some piece of technology sent to ruin her day.
The Six Principles of Enlightenment and Meaning of Life by Russell Anthony Gibbs
About The Six Principles of Enlightenment and Meaning of Life by Russell Anthony Gibbs:
All enlightened beings, most founders of religions and many renowned scientists knew and understood the six principles of enlightenment. These universal truths have been written about, taught and discussed for thousands of years yet remain shrouded in mystery and misinterpretation.
The Six Principles of Enlightenment and Meaning of Life is an intellectual and spiritual work that explains the six significant universal truths woven throughout science, religion and philosophy. These principles draw upon thousands of years of wisdom and are presented in a concise, accessible format. Each principle is defined and has an explanation on its application to life; they are further supported by quotes of wisdom from enlightened beings, philosophers, artists and scientists like Buddha, Albert Einstein, Rumi, Stephen Hawking and Jesus. Understanding the six principles then unlocks the meaning of life which is explained in the final chapter.

Could history’s greatest works of art be the product of a dark secret?
Follow artifact hunter, Andrew Game, as he journeys on a clandestine assignment to Providence, Rhode Island hoping to recover an ancient document credited with being the inspiration behind many of the world’s most beloved literary masterpieces.

Excited by his good fortune, and hastily dismissive of the superstition surrounding chain letters, Cutty eagerly reads the cursed writing, unknowingly setting Lovecraft’s time-sensitive chain into motion.
After a midnight visit from Lovecraft’s ghost warning him of the deadly consequences of not fulfilling the haunted chain, Cutty’s earlier disbelief quickly turns to fear; impelling him on a twisted race against the clock and a sure-fire collision course with Mr. Game.

Can the Maywood family survive?
The day her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, Ann Maywood put her promising career on hold and raced to Maggie’s side. On some level, Ann knew the battle they faced would be a lonely one, and she was right. Other than frequent rants about the injustice of their mother’s illness, Ann’s younger sister, Cass, stayed on the road and out of sight. While the brilliant baby of the family wanted to help, their mother stubbornly insisted Chuck remain in graduate school at Stanford.
In the first part of this three-part serial, Ann expects life to return to some semblance of normal after her mother’s death. But Ann’s career is in shambles, her lover has moved on, and her mother’s long illness has saddled Ann with monumental debt. To make matters worse, her irresponsible sister barely made it home in time for the funeral, but now Cass’s grief spirals out of control. And while her brother might be a genius, Chuck refuses to fulfill the dreams their mother sacrificed everything to achieve. Tasked with holding the family together, Ann questions how the Maywood clan can hope to survive without the one person who always believed in them.

Mike C. Erickson grew up in the idyllic college town of Logan, Utah, but because of a twist of fate he graduated from high school in Honolulu. He left Hawaii brimming with aloha and enrolled at Utah State, where he was awarded two degrees and self-proclaimed minor intellectual status, which was of dubious value when the US Army invited him to vacation in South-East Asia. Ten days after leaving Vietnam, he began decades of dispensing pearls of wisdom as a high school history teacher, academic decathlon coach, and on occasion, as a community college instructor in the Sacramento area. Mike and his wife Trudy, have two grown sons and a grandson born soon after this novel is published. When not in Hawaii or another exotic locale, they live in Gold River, California. This is his first novel.
