Jaimie has always been a bit of an artistic, creative, romantic nomad. She loved drawing with pencil, taking pictures of the world around her and reading romance novels growing up. Her parents moved around a few times – Jaimie has lived in Utah, California, Washington, Arizona, Michigan, Hawaii and Oregon. She also traveled around Europe quite a bit.
Instead of following her dream to be a writer and taking action on her many story ideas she took a different path in college, earning an MBA and then working in management in the business world. When she moved to Hawaii in 2006 she was transformed by the magic of the islands. She opened up and blossomed. No longer afraid of what might happen if she followed her dreams of writing, she finally decided to just go for it. She spent the last ten years researching, writing, editing and learning the tricks of the trade. Jaimie has always had an open, inquisitive mind and she likes to explore far out ideas like reincarnation and time travel in her writing.
Jaimie met her soul mate in Hawaii and they had the dream Hawaiian beach wedding with an amazing Hawaiian Kahuna (priest). They now live in Portland Oregon with their three year old daughter and two dogs. Jaimie is currently working on her next novel – a paranormal romantic thriller series. She loves reading as much as she loves writing. You can follow her on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest.
Dead Man Walking – A Spy Amongst Us by Toby Oliver
About Dead Man Walking – A Spy Amongst Us by Toby Oliver
Plunging behind the political curtain of Churchill’s World War II coalition government, where plotting and manipulation run rampant and turning in spies is a matter of global security, Dead Man Walking is Toby Oliver’s latest gripping thriller featuring Superintendent Luke Garvan and Major Spencer Hall.
When Lord Oakways is found murdered in his London home, a DCI working the crime scene stumbles upon some potentially damning evidence in the cabinet minister’s diary: a meeting with Toniolo, a suspected Soviet spy operating at the heart of British government. The case is handed over to Garvan and Hall, whose investigation centers on two suspects: foreign minister Jeremy Haining, a close friend of Oakways and former left-wing firebrand, and Jamie Burdis, the disgruntled former foreign minister known for being a flagrant philanderer.
With the successful D-day landings, the Allied forces’ victory seems more and more certain—as does a seemingly inevitable face-off with the Soviets.
Garvan and Hall race to solve the murder and unmask the spy, but the more they dig, the more complex the web of betrayal appears to be.
Who is Toniolo? And can they find him, or her, before it’s too late?

Brutal Valour: The Tragedy of Isandlwana by James Mace
About Brutal Valour: The Tragedy of Isandlwana by James Mace
It is December 1878, and war looms on the horizon in South Africa. British High Commissioner Sir Henry Bartle-Frere seeks to dismantle the powerful neighbouring kingdom of the Zulus and uses an incursion along the disputed border as his justification for war. He issues an impossible ultimatum to the Zulu king, Cetshwayo, demanding he disband his armies and pay massive reparations. With a heavy heart, the king prepares his nation for war against their former allies.
Leading the invasion is Lieutenant General Sir Frederic Thesiger, Baron Chelmsford, a highly experienced officer fresh off a decisive triumph over the neighbouring Xhosa tribes. He and Frere are convinced that a quick victory over the Zulus will negate any repercussions from the home government for launching what is, in essence, an illegal war.
Recently arrived to South Africa are newly-recruited Privates Arthur Wilkinson and Richard Lowe; members of C Company, 1/24th Regiment of Foot under the venerable Captain Reginald Younghusband. Eager for adventure, they are prepared to do their duty both for the Empire and for their friends. As Frere’s ultimatum expires, the army of British redcoats and allied African auxiliaries crosses the uMzinyathi River at Rorke’s Drift into Zululand. Ten days later, the British and Zulus will meet their destiny at the base of a mountain called Isandlwana.

Selena’s Duty by Faith Parsons
About Selena's Duty by Faith Parsons
Selena Hensley has dedicated herself to caring for the girls at the Lady of Our Sorrows orphanage. Especially twins Mary and Maggie, eight-year-old sisters traumatized by an abusive uncle. There’s nothing Selena wants more than to help these emotionally-damaged twins heal.
But Selena is running out of time—the orphanage has run out of money and the church has found places for all of the children except the twins. There’s no way Selena will find another job that will also allow her to give Mary and Maggie the extra care they need.
Logan McCord wants nothing more than to start a family with Selena, whose compassion and down-to-earth personality are everything he wants in a woman. He’s not sure he’s ready to be a father, but Selena’s clearly capable of caring for children, so he should be fine, right?
Only after Selena responds to Logan’s offer of marriage with a counter-proposal does he realize he might be in over his head: she’ll only marry him if he’s willing to adopt Mary and Maggie.
Will Logan and Selena find a way to put these shattered girls back together? Or will the strain of caring for the traumatized twins destroy their marriage?

The Refugee by C.A. Hartman
About The Refugee by C.A. Hartman:
She’s an ambitious but bored geneticist. He’s a brilliant but chilly alien. When he escapes his xenophobic planet and becomes the first Korvali to ever live among humans, the repercussions are far greater than anyone imagined.
When Eshel arrives on Starship Cornelia, no one knows what to make of him or his cold, arrogant personality. Catherine, fellow scientist and the only human Eshel trusts, helps him navigate the world of “outsiders”… but she can only teach him so much. Eshel faces those who don’t understand or trust him, political barriers to conducting his prized scientific work, and other challenges he never anticipated. When he crosses the line by violating one of his people’s most rigid taboos, Eshel must face his own internal struggle… until he discovers that he has a far more treacherous enemy.
Here’s what readers are saying about The Refugee:
“In a genre that tends to be dated and full of formula-driven clichés, this book is a welcome change…”
“I would put this book on par with works by the old masters such as Robert Heinlein and Asimov.”
“Fabulous story line with superb character development and depth.”
If you love science fiction with fascinating aliens, unique worlds, interplanetary politics, and even a little romance, you’ll love The Refugee!

Author Bio:
C.A. Hartman specializes in writing science fiction. An academic scientist gone rogue, Hartman has refocused her overactive, analytical mind on creating thought-provoking stories with memorable characters. Her Korvali Chronicles trilogy tells the story of the fallout that occurs when an alien scientist escapes his oppressive, xenophobic planet and comes to live among humans on a starship. She’s currently working on Daughters of Anarchy, a sci-fi/noir series about a woman who uses (abuses?) her position of power and her knowledge of science to clean up her corrupted, post-war city.
A graduate of the University of Colorado, Hartman earned her MA in Clinical Psychology and her PhD in Behavioral Genetics, and worked as a scientist for 11 years. She lives in Denver with her husband, artist Chris Voeller, and has a special fondness for good TV, the desert, aviator sunglasses, and dark roast coffee (decaf, of course, because you DON’T want to be around her when she’s caffeinated).

How To Marry Your Wife by Stella Marie Alden
About How To Marry Your Wife by Stella Marie Alden:
What foul devilry is this? They told her he was dead. After six long years without a word, her knight falls onto his knees and sings poetry. Then he denies their son? Heed this well. She’s no longer an innocent who’ll giggle and tarry on his every word. The sharp edge of her tongue and knife is the only welcome he’ll get. She’ll not marry him. Besides, the pain would be too much to bear should he ever leave again.
Her attitude is beyond understanding. What voice did he have? The king commanded and he obeyed. Regardless of her hatred, the Templar knight weds. This time she will travel with him and he will win back her favor. It’s a long road from London to Hadrian’s Wall. Evil deeds weave a plot laced with castles, kidnappings, and missives. Will the treacherous journey split them asunder forever? Mayhap only in heaven will he rekindle the passion they once shared.

HI All!
I’m Stelllaaaa………

If you leave a comment, I always say hi back!
I have two grown independent daughters, a husband who edits my work, and two cats that jump on my keyboard when I’m not watching. They wrote a chapter, but I deleted it. It wasn’t really all that good.
I love yoga, Zumba, and diy house projects. My latest toy is a tile cutter. Wheee. What else can I cover in ceramic?
I love traveling and am one of those people that fall sound asleep when the plane takes off and awake refreshed when the plane touches down. Envy is a terrible sin, don’t you think?
I grew up in New England and have always enjoyed making up stories. When I was a kid, crayons fought other crayons in bloody battles for prime placement in the box. Street lamps cried when they lost their bulbs. My imaginary friend, Bee-Bee followed me everywhere. She caused an awful lot of trouble, as I remember.
I love sharing with my fans.
Cheers and thanks for reading.!

When I’m pressed about what it is that i do, the best answer i can give is that I like to tell stories.
Often I tell these stories in a visual way through either Illustration or Photography (or a mix of the 2). But I have also, for a long time now, enjoyed writing stories as well.
I have written stories for years. When i was a teenager I started to play various Role Playing Games. This meant i was creating stories and characters all the time in order to run or play the games. As time went on, I started to write short stories set in these worlds that would serve as hand outs to the players to read that would help set the scene.
My first novel came about much later after settling down with my wife, and although I was not playing the RPG’s so much, (and haven’t done for a long time now) I still enjoyed the stories. So I decided to try and write my first book.
That book was Epic Calling, the first book in the Magi Saga.
