Maven Fairy Godmother: Through the Veil by Charlotte Henley Babb
About Maven Fairy Godmother: Through the Veil by Charlotte Henley Babb
A dead cellphone calls with a job offer and a promise of dragons.
Imagine if Terry Pratchett sat down with Kathy Bates to make up fractured fairy tales for Edward Everett Horton to read aloud: You’d get MAVEN FAIRY GODMOTHER: THROUGH THE VEIL.
Broke, busted, and despairing over the mess of her life, Maven Morrigan is offered a job as a fairy godmother, a one-time-only last chance to make something of herself and make the world a better place.
As a woman ‘of a certain age,’ she is burned out doing the only work she is qualified for, her unemployment has run out, and she’s lost everything but her car—and it’s a wreck. When her prepaid cellphone, long out of minutes, rings with a job offer, she takes it on the promise of meeting a dragon, but as usual, a few details were left off the contract.
Maven’s idea of how to grant her clients’ wishes presents more problems than she expects when she learns that the Veil that separates Faery from Mundane is on the verge of collapse, and her new boss isn’t giving her the all the facts about magic castles, dragons and trolls. But she has nowhere else to go, not even back to her old life in Mundane, until her friend and co-trainee becomes a damsel in distress.
Not knowing who to trust: her boss, her slithery familiar, or her own Bump of Direction, she has to rely on herself, her real world failures, and her sense of the absurd to survive in this imaginary garden with real frogs in it to make her clients’ happy endings happen.
MAVEN FAIRY GODMOTHER: THROUGH THE VEIL is fast, fun read that shows that none of us is ever old enough to know better as we try to wish for we think what will make us happy.

Author Bio:
Charlotte Henley Babb writes quirky steampunk and fantasy fiction for humanoids of an uncertain age, including stories of Maven, a fairy godmother for the rest of us. She brings to any project a number of experiences, including work as a technical writer, gasket inspector, web designer, cloth store associate, secret weapon, and telephone psychic.
Only in the new milliennium are women of a certain age portrayed as living, breathing, vibrant human beings…not feeble grandmothers or evil witches. Where are the “coming of middle age” stories to help us make the transition from mother to crone? Charlotte always loved fantasy and magic, but she could not find much in the fairy tales I knew that moved beyond the first kiss and a promise of marriage.
She never identified with Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty or Beauty and the Beast, always feeling too big with big feet, too loud, too assertive….too anything except beautiful, obedient, compliant and humble. She loved to watch Fractured Fairy Tales on the Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons, where the villians were not quite so villainous and the heroes not so heroic.

Pamela Taeuffer, Biography
__________________________________________
My passion is writing books that tell a love story and family saga of leaving old fears behind as the characters embrace intimacy and transition to joy. My first series, Broken Bottles, details those fears of growing up in a family battling alcoholism. Along with the struggle and pain of a parent’s rage, I hope to reveal strength, intelligence, and survival. The challenge is to love intimately in all relationships. For children of trauma, it can take years to let another person come close. When they do? It’s like rainbows cover their heart.
Slowly, you’ll read how my characters become vulnerable, reach for deep, sensual intimacy, and try desperately to let go of their fears. They struggle and risk everything to trust others—and themselves. My stories are about daring to take the baby steps that let them really come alive and in every way, experience and give love.

After the Pretty Pox: The Attic by August Ansel
About After the Pretty Pox: The Attic by August Ansel:
“It’s worse than that. God will ignore us entirely.”
A searing act of bioterrorism. A catastrophic plague they call the Pretty Pox.
Most of the human race is dead, and for two years Arie McInnes has been alone, riding out the aftermath of the Pretty Pox, waiting for her own inevitable end.
Hidden in the attic of her ruined home, Arie survives by wit and skill, ritual and habit. Convinced that humans are a dangerous fluke, a problematic species best allowed to expire, she chooses solitude…even in matters of life and death.
Arie’s precarious world is upended when her youngest brother – a man she’s never met – appears out of nowhere with a badly injured woman. Their presence in the attic draws the attention of a dark watcher in the woods, and Arie is forced to choose between the narrow beliefs that have sustained her and the stubborn instinct to love and protect.
In Book One of August Ansel’s captivating new post-apocalyptic series, After the Pretty Pox casts an unwavering eye on what it means to be human in a world where nature has the upper hand, and the only rules left to live by – for good or ill – are the ones written on our hearts.

HIM
Everyone has a teenage crush.
You know, the hot celeb that you and your friends gush about! Never in million years do you actually expect to meet your crush in real life.
But I did.
And he became my new step brother.
He’s the hottest guy I’ve ever seen, with sea foam green eyes that stop strangers on the street and a rock hard body that rivals Chris Hemsworth. Yeah, that hot!
And he’s from one of the wealthiest families in America.
But none of that means a thing because I hate him for what he and his stupid friends did to me years ago. It was what made me plead to go away to boarding school in South Africa. It was what changed my life for good.
As much as I want to stay in hiding, I can’t because I have to go back to the Hamptons and face him at the funeral.
Him.
The man I’m doomed to see plastered on every gossip magazine and billboard. The man wanted by every woman alive because he’s so f*cking sexy.
But not me.
I won’t fall for a man like him.
Never.
Never again.
Not even him.
No matter what the sight of his gorgeous body does to my insides.
This is a 50k novel with a happy ending.

The ExtraOrdinary Life of Heather Mason: Volume 1: The Goddess & the Rock Star
About The ExtraOrdinary Life of Heather Mason: Volume 1: The Goddess & the Rock Star:
Download free Saturday 7/30 & Sunday 7/31!
Heather Mason sees herself as a socially inept, plain Jane, teenaged guitar nerd. Her uncanny guitar abilities and the bizarre recurring dream of a Native American woman’s adventure can’t convince her otherwise. However, everything changes the day Justin Griffin walks into her life and her heart. Once their musical and personal collaborations begin, doors open that once seemed foreign and out of reach, and Heather blossoms into a beautiful, confident, full-fledged rock star. With Justin by her side, her life is idyllic. Together they make a lightning-fast trip to the highest echelon of rock music and become the most recognized and respected couple in the business. Together they reap all the rewards of such a feat, and handle it with the utmost grace and gratitude, and never, ever take it for granted. Ironically, the one thing that falls by the wayside is the thing that started it all: their intense and almost spiritual connection. Somehow they lose touch; the connection becomes disjointed. And then the dream dies.
Now Heather must return to the drudgery of a life she thought she left behind five years ago. She must return to the place in her mind in which nothing mattered but her music. She must forget everything she just learned about love, trust, and taking chances, and find something safe on which to hold. Something, or someone, who will never hurt her like Justin did.
The Goddess & the Rock Star is the first book of two that follows the ups and downs of a woman who just happens to be visited in her sleep hundreds of times over 20 years by the same couple. As she goes from solitary teenager to world-renowned rock star, her bizarre dream takes a back seat to the unexpectedly remarkable and sometimes devastating nature of her waking hours. Through fame, fortune, and adversity, she fights to retain her integrity, taking solace in the ideas that there are few coincidences in life, and patience and faith in your path will provide the answers.

My first memories of writing fiction involve a second grade assignment in which a fish searched for his home (what the?!). My love of writing came naturally, thanks to my father, who majored in Journalism in college, and although he chose a different profession, he never stopped writing.
When my college writing professor told me I should submit my assignment as a short story for publication and my father vehemently agreed, I knew it was a craft that was meant for me. Although life became busy with marriage and children and I never submitted that story, the desire to write more never left me.
Although my chosen genre of Romance Fiction and my writing style may not be what my father envisioned for me, and he would probably be a little embarrassed by some of my content, he would be proud nonetheless.
I’m a proud mother and wife, and besides writing, I love to play music and read when time allows.

Promise Me
A fast-paced, roller coaster ride with plenty of dramatic moments. This is a must-read!
From the same writer who gave you the romantic thriller, One Night Stand, comes another nail-biting offering.
It poses a question: What would you do if the life of the one you love hangs in the balance, and only you could save her?
Thomas ‘Easy’ Steel is an EOD with the New York State Police’s Bomb Disposal Unit. An anonymous caller had demanded that he disarms a bomb strapped to a woman’s chest. When he arrives at the scene, he discovers that the woman is his wife, Bianca.
It shouldn’t be a big deal. After all, his nickname ‘Easy’ had been bestowed upon him at bomb school because he’s so easy-going, even when disabling live bombs. This time, however, it’s different. He might not survive it.
And, what of the woman he loves with all his heart, to whom he promised eternity?

I’m an observer of people and a story-teller.
I sit and watch; and I listen. Listening not just to what’s being said, but more importantly, to what’s not being said. But life shouldn’t just pass us by as we watch idly, so in every respect I’m also a participant. Interacting with the characters who grace the pages of my books, although they were simply an amalgam of the various people I’ve come across.
That could be me silently watching you from across a crowded café as you sit drinking your coffee. Observing how you sniffed the aroma of the Arabica beans grounded and blended just for you by the barista behind the counter. Then, you drank it, closed your eyes to fully appreciate the tinge of bitterness in it. You smiled, pleased that it was made just right.
People make up the tapestry of life. So, you are my source of inspiration.
In the end, it’s not about me – it’s all about you. So, I prefer to remain anonymous.

Terrified for her daughter’s safety she leaves HANNAH to run the café and flies to India, though fearful of the reception she’ll get. Ellie has barely spoken to her for years. Never having been outside Europe, the filth and poverty she finds appals her. Her daughter is horrified when she turns up unannounced, but grudgingly takes her to the Dalit community where she teaches English. Rose is overwhelmed by the heartbreak of these oppressed people and their slums amid the sewage lakes. It takes all her reserves of strength to keep going but she is determined to help Ellie and gain her respect. The weeks pass and there is danger in Cornwall. Hannah’s skunk smoking mother arrives, homeless, and Hannah can’t turn her away. Standards begin to slip, the Environmental Health Inspector arrives, the police visit to question her mother. Rose’s livelihood is in jeopardy. Ellie drops a bombshell. She’s pregnant and going home to live with Tom and his new family.

But when she is alone, isolated and battling with ill health she struggles to cope. Witnessing violence against women, and the family murder of a child who had been raped and was therefore unclean, makes her question her involvement. And then she moves in with, and gains strength from warm-hearted MARIA who agonises about leaving her sons in England, but cares deeply for the street children. Each week Rose updates Ellie with her progress and they grow closer. Rose meets the charismatic KISHAN and his long-suffering wife DIMPLE who warn her there is antagonism towards schemes to improve the Dalits’ lot. She begins to meet Kishan on his own. Before long she has fallen for him and guilt about Dimple adds to her stress. After their first night spent together a bomb explodes at the hotel. Kishan is killed.

Rose dashes home to find Hannah distraught and her mother under arrest. Feels desperately sorry for the girl but makes the tough decision to sell up. Ellie is thrilled to see her, but Rose has to go back to India, to help the children, although she has no idea what the future holds.

Author Bio:
Born into a service family Dianne was brought up in Singapore, Cyprus and Yorkshire then went on to marry a Civil Engineer and moved to the Arabian Gulf. Since then, with sons grown and flown, she has continued to wander all over the world, keeping extensive journals of her personal experiences which she uses for her novels. Fifteen different schools and an employment history which includes The British Embassy Bahrain, radio presenter, café proprietor on Penzance seafront, and goods picker in an Argos warehouse, have resulted in rich seams to mine for inspiration.
She has always written, editing the school magazine at an early age, and over the years short stories and letters to magazines were published, but it was only on retirement that her novel Outcast was finished and accepted by Tirgearr. Another book, A Hundred Hands Outstretched, also based in India, is being edited and she is halfway through a third novel, set in Egypt. Her writing is atmospheric, steeped in the smells, sights and sounds of exotic locations.
She lives – when not travelling – in a small, Leicestershire village. Her favourite destinations – so far – have been India and Russia, with Guatemala a close third.

Seanna and her family make the 1,000 mile ocean crossing from their anchorage in Maui to the Palmyra Atoll, smack dab in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, inhabited by millions of nesting seabirds, hermit crabs and two fearless, but lovable, shark hunting dogs. Seanna will explore the many small islets with her constant, furry companions and the young cruiser from Canada who will unintentionally, but completely capture her heart.

I am a high school math and science teacher and have been blessed to live a life full of adventure! One of the best compliments I have ever received is when several of my students recently agreed that they “want to be Mrs. Daise when they grow up!” They hear of my many fun adventures living on a sailboat, swimming with whale sharks, studying sea turtle conservation in Costa Rica, and traveling to various countries, and they see that at the age of 53, I published my first books. I tell them, “See, being ‘old’ can still be exciting!”
I owe my adventurous spirit to my parents who were always taking us off on some fun adventure, whether it was moving to Nigeria to teach for two years, fossil hunting, camping, finding edible wild plants or creating homemade radio shows, growing up with them was full of creative pursuits, and to my husband, Lanny, who is always up for something new! He also recently wrote a great sailing novel, “Seeking the Green Flash”, which is LOOSELY based on our life aboard the “Lazy Daise” (good name, huh?)
Lost Path to Solitude
When you leave home, can you ever return? Twenty-five years after following her husband’s dreams to New York, Maria Pop has to choose between her marriage to the man she loves, and a new life in her native Romania, the place she’s always regretted leaving. Meanwhile, her daughter, a bona fide New Yorker, is struggling to adjust to small-town Texas where she found a good job teaching college. Frustrated by the unexpected detours in their quests for self-realization, mother and daughter butt heads in an epic fight that might fracture their relationship forever. Lost Path to Solitude is a book about the growing pains of reinvention, about trying to stay independent, about mothers and daughters trying to come to terms with their shortcomings and the compromises they have to make to balance aspirations, love, and material stability.

Harcourt’s Mountain
Spring, 1867
The western frontier of British Columbia hardly seems a likely place for romance. Filthy, terrified and confused, Hope Booker is waiting to be sold off the ‘bride’ ship. Luke Harcourt happens upon the sale. It’s not love at first sight, but he feels compelled to save her from a life of slavery and prostitution. To allay her fears of being raped by him, Luke promises never to touch her. Being a man of his word, this is a pledge he quickly finds almost impossible to keep.
Battling their growing attraction to each other, they must learn to live together in the forests of the wild and almost unexplored mountains. They face white water, Indians, wolves, as well as a dangerous man from Hope’s past.
No longer able to deny their feelings, their ‘happy-ever-after’ is shattered when a corrupt land baron forces Luke’s hand. Enraged at the man’s actions, Luke rides into town—and disappears.
Alone and pregnant, Hope faces the prospect of the worst winter in ten years. The trauma of fighting off a hungry grizzly brings on labor, but the baby is stuck. Luke meanwhile wakes up on a ship bound for South America, captained by a revengeful sadist who plans to murder him. Luke’s chances of survival are slim. Can he stay alive and make it back to Hope in time?

Her only remaining mission is to take revenge on their killer. Until the ship uncovers a genocidal plot by Johnson’s own admirals.

I have been climbing, mountaineering, caving, kayaking and skiing as long as I can remember. Growing up I spent most of my spare time in the hills.
Landscape archaeology has always been one of my interests; when you spend a long time in the outdoors you start noticing things and wondering how they came to be there. At university I included geophysics in my options.
I am an experienced mountain and cave leader, holding a range of qualifications including Mountain Leader, Single Pitch (Rock Climbing Leader) Aawrd and Local Cave Leaver Level 2. I am also a course director for national climbing and navigation award schemes.
