A Lady’s Vanishing Choices by Wareeze Woodson
About A Lady’s Vanishing Choices by Wareeze Woodson
Vexed with her aunt, Bethany takes the gig without permission. Tooling down a sparsely traveled track, she pulls up to master her temper and wanders into the woods. From her sheltered position, she watches a man bury a long bundle large enough to hold a corpse. She thinks she has escaped undetected, but danger follows her. In her reckless handling of the ribbons, she nearly runs Lord Royce Rivton off the lane.
Lord Rivton is in search of a spy and must investigate her family, his closest neighbor. Both at cross purposes, the sparks fly and when he rescues her, he places her in a compromising position. They marry as expected, but their road is not smooth. She is still in mortal danger. He must find and capture the killer/spy while trying to save his wife. A tattered string weaves together this tale of romance, murder, abduction and espionage.

“How To Stop Negative Thoughts: What My Near Death Experience Taught Me About Mind Loops, Neuroscience, and Happiness” by Barbara Ireland
About “How To Stop Negative Thoughts: What My Near Death Experience Taught Me About Mind Loops, Neuroscience, and Happiness” by Barbara Ireland:
TRAIN YOUR MIND TO BE YOUR GREATEST ALLY, INSTEAD OF YOUR SABOTEUR
We think 60,000 thoughts a day. And yet, scientific research tells us a whopping 70% of those thoughts are negative. No wonder stress, social anxiety, depression, and unhappiness are on the rise!
If you want to stop that incessant, negative voice in your head, read this book.
One night in 2010, author Barbara Ireland was singing onstage with Stone Gossard of Pearl Jam when she suddenly “heard” her own inner thoughts. She was shocked at how self-critical they were and wondered: “Are these negative thoughts going through my head all the time?”
Turns out they were – and they’d been sabotaging her life for years.
We all think negative thoughts. We dwell on past conflicts, we worry, we wonder if we’re good enough, we judge others, fume, resent, envy, compare. We spill some orange juice and yell in our heads, “You’re such an idiot!”
Sound familiar? What you may not realize is just how damaging that negative voice is.
Repetitive, negative thoughts – “Mind Loops” – increase stress, deplete your energy, interrupt your sleep, make you less productive – and can trigger destructive emotions like fear, jealousy, and shame. Your relationships, career and self-esteem suffer.
Tragically, Mind Loops can also sabotage you from achieving your most cherished dreams and goals because they create self-doubt with their mantras: “You aren’t good enough,” “You can’t do it,” and “Why try?”
But there is a way to interrupt repetitive, negative thoughts.
Based on neuroscience, Ireland’s proven “4 D’s of De-Looping” program will show you how to:
* catch, and detach from, negative thoughts before they have a chance to hook you
* heal and free yourself from painful memories – no matter how long ago they occurred
* reframe life’s challenges so you can let go of resentments, stress, and worry
* literally re-wire your brain of its negative messages to free up energy to pursue your life’s goals.
Your confidence, peace of mind, and happiness will finally have a chance to thrive.
The techniques in this book have transformed many people’s lives. They can transform yours, too.
“From singer and bassist, filmmaker and now author, Barbara Ireland, comes an inspired book that begins to translate the science of negative thinking and neural pathways for those of us without Ph.D’s.” – Stone Gossard, Pearl Jam
“In the concept of Mind Loops, Barbara Ireland has identified the source of negativity, depression, and paralyzing feelings that undermine our dreams and well-being. In a sweeping act of creative genius she has distilled a number of simple remedies that will work for anyone willing to use them.” -Wayne Lehrer, author, The Prodigy Within
“Barbara’s program gives you a road map and action plan to remove repetitive, negative thoughts from your life. I was able to fulfill a lifelong dream that was plagued by severe insecurities, anxiety and self-doubt due to the techniques found in Barbara’s book. I highly recommend it!” -Amy W., Seattle, WA

Author Bio:
Barbara Ireland is passionate about training people how to take back the power of their own minds.
So often, our habitual thinking leads us (mostly unconsciously) headlong into “Mind Loops” – repetitive, negative thoughts that loop over and over in our heads. Mind Loops cause incredible damage to our self esteem, our relationships, our health and well-being… and they can limit your potential and stop your efforts to follow your greatest dreams if left unchecked.
Barbara struggled with Mind Loops for years. Then, during a near-death-experience in 2010, she was “taught” what Mind Loops were and how much they were holding her life and happiness hostage. The experience was so profound, that she dove into researching the most effective ways to erase and replace destructive, negative thoughts. She developed the 9 D’s of De-Looping system which dramatically changed her life for the better – so much so, that she ended up shifting her career focus from music toward helping others overcome self-doubt, self-criticism, fear, worry and other repetitive, self-defeating thoughts and emotions.
Barbara is also a musician, singer and composer, award-winning filmmaker, and collage artist. When not writing or mentoring others to defeat their negative thoughts, you’ll find her gazing at shimmering spider webs on hiking trails, crooning pheromone jazz tunes in a nightclub, allowing her inner nerd to research to its heart’s content, and enjoying as many laughing attacks as possible.

Phantom Riders MC – Hawk
About Phantom Riders MC – Hawk:
Ultimate betrayal leaves Hawk, the president of an outlaw motorcycle club, distrustful and hating women. He only wants them for one thing now, and once he’s satisfied his animal urges he casts them aside without a second thought. But then Audra shows up, threatening his club and his way of life, and Hawk has to decide to turn the sexy, pint-sized package of trouble loose, or claim her for his own.
Excerpt
I quickly scooted out of the booth, realizing Hawk was right behind me. Before I could question him, he grabbed my arm and proceeded to jerk me in the direction leading to the back of the bar. I glanced around the bar wildly, but I didn’t see Dane’s men anywhere.
“They left, but they’ll be back.” We entered a dark hallway and halfway down he stopped us at a door. I expected him to knock, but he lifted his leg and kicked the door in, causing the occupants in the room to scream out in fear. “Out!” he snarled.
I barely had time to acknowledge the naked couple before they snatched up their strewn about clothes and rushed past us. As the man passed me I recognized him as one of Hawk’s men. We made eye contact long enough for him to wink at me. Once they cleared the threshold, Hawk pulled me inside and slammed the door behind him.
“Take your clothes off.”
“What?”
“Take your clothes off.”
I know my jaw dropped at his demand. When I realized that he meant it I began to back up, slowly shaking my head. “You’re crazy!” I whispered sharply.
“Take your f**kin’ clothes off!” So far he hadn’t moved from his spot, yet I’d backed up until my back was against the wall. “Those men knew how to find you, which means there’s a bug on you somewhere.”
I tried to decipher what he was saying, but my brain wouldn’t wrap around the words that he thought I had a bug on me. He took a menacing step toward me, and that was all I needed to do what he wanted. Strangely, I wasn’t afraid of Hawk, only of what having his hands on me would make me feel. I was attracted to him in a strange way that left me feeling confused. Maybe it was because I knew that he wasn’t attracted to me.
I quickly removed my hoodie and handed it to him, kicking off my shoes at the same time. As Hawk began going over it, I unzipped and rolled down my jeans. I’d reached for the bottom of my t-shirt when a memory slammed into me.
“Just a minute.” I waited for him to look at me. “There’s no way there can be a bug in these clothes because they aren’t mine. I took them from a dryer in the laundromat.”
He hesitated for only a second. “I want everything.”
Deciding not to argue with him, I removed my t-shirt and threw it at him. He caught it to his chest and I swear I saw the tiniest curve of his mouth showing amusement at my irritation. He examined my clothes thoroughly, finding nothing, as I’d expected. Then he turned those dark eyes on me, running his gaze up and down my body, missing nothing.
“Everything,” he demanded. “Or did you borrow your underwear, too?”

She has her own woman-cave which she shares with four felines whose main goal in life is getting as much cat hair on everything that they can.

The Death of Death
Death guides usually have rather normal names like John, Mary, Harry, and Jessica. And even ones not quite so normal, like Bartholomew or Ambrosia. They also have the most interesting tales behind their deaths. But one particular death guide has a few problems: she cannot remember her name or the details of her demise, and thus has no story of her own. One fateful night, she meets a young girl that may change her death forever.
Inspired by the works of Tim Burton and Neil Gaiman, and in the style of Children’s tales of old, The Death of Death is a tragic, yet sweet little tale about loss and acceptance.

Next Generation Indie Book Awards
Edition! 6/16: TWO CHAPTERS OF ICE GENESIS, THE NEXT IN THE LEAH AND JACK SERIES!
Archaeologist Leah Andrews stumbles upon something inexplicable in southwestern New Mexico: inside a dark cavern lies an undiscovered, Native American cliff dwelling abandoned for 800 years. While twisting through one of the narrow underground passageways, Leah’s flashlight illuminates the remains of a violent massacre.
Ancient human remains—all slaughtered in a long-ago massacre—cover the cavern floor, along with a number of brilliantly colored, granite crystals. The rare crystals are native to only one place on earth: a frozen mountain range in central Antarctica.
Could Native Americans have traveled to the frozen continent of Antarctica 800 years prior to the first known human exploration? If so how? And why?
There’s only one person who can get Leah to those mountains in Antarctica: her estranged husband and climbing guide Jack Hobson.
At their destination they make a stunning discovery that will change history and science forever. But Leah’s team is far from the only interested party.
As her secret makes its way to the highest levels of government, a race to seize the Russian-claimed Antarctic territory brings the world to the brink of nuclear conflict.

Author Bio:
Rob Kelley is a Canadian author of both fiction and non-fiction books. He grew up in a small northern gold mining town called Timmins, Ontario. He worked six summers underground in one of the area’s gold mines in his teens and early twenties to earn money for university. “I always loved school. So much fun stuff to get involved in. My first memorable writing experience was in grade four. On Friday afternoons, our teacher, Miss Anderson, would allow us to present one-act plays for the class’s entertainment, if we each donated ten cents to the Red Cross jar. So on Thursday nights, my buddy, Jack Watson and I would lie on his bedroom floor, along with the cat, and scribble up four or five pages of storyline and dialogue to present to the class the next day. It was great fun.”
Rob spent his working career in Hamilton, Ontario where he worked as a teacher, business department head, computer education consultant and textbook author. He loves writing romance suspense, international suspense thrillers, cozy small town mysteries and self-help books.
Broken English
For me, the name Dante conjured up two images. The first was the epic depictions of Hell from Dante’s Inferno, with people burning for their sins. The second image was a sexual depiction. I don’t know where it came from, but as far back as I can remember, I had always associated the name Dante with a beautiful and sexy man. I’d imagined a dark-haired, dark-eyed, gorgeous lothario, the type who could capture a woman’s heart with just one look. Dante was the Fabio of my generation, the heartthrob that got women’s hearts beating fast, made us want this man to rip our clothes off and to throw us onto the bed.
Little did I know that the Dante that walked into my life was very different from the one I’d imagined. Oh, he was dark-haired, dark-eyed, gorgeous, even a lothario … just … he wasn’t a man. He was a fifteen-year-old boy who was going to send me to the Hell his namesake had written about.
And I was his teacher.

Author Bio:
I grew up in Hertfordshire where I discovered my love of books. I started writing fairy stories at an early age, inspired by the stories of Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm. I continued writing poems and short stories over the years and then in 2010 I got the idea for a novel. By the time I was halfway through writing it, I realised there was too much story for just one book, and so the Heart Search trilogy was born. My publisher, Myrddin Publishing Group, have been incredibly supportive and I count myself lucky to be with them.
I’m now working on my 5th book which is the first in a seven book fantasy series.
I run a writing group called Writebulb. They have written four anthologies, the proceeds of which support a local hospice. Their 5th book will be launched September 2016.
I’m also principal editor at Eagle Eye Editors.
My daughter and I love making jewellery and have a website where we sell it. We also attend craft fairs.
Currently I live in Suffolk with my daughter.
Lucy Green Eyes
“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.
