Chasing Dreams and Flies; A Tragicomedy of Life in France by Dorothea Shefer-Vanson  

chasing-dreams-and-flies-cover-front-smallAbout Chasing Dreams and Flies; A Tragicomedy of Life in France by Dorothea Shefer-Vanson

FREE DOWNLOAD ON 9 AND 10 OCTOBER.
In the early 2000s Sophie and John Williams, like many of their British compatriots, decide to follow their dream and go to France in order to find a house for their impending retirement. After several disappointments, their French estate agent, Jean-Christophe, eventually shows them a converted barn that seems to meet all their requirements. When they move in they are surprised to find that the manager of the orphanage lodged in the adjacent house appears to resent their presence.

At about the same time Julie Smithers, a single woman in her thirties, leaves her routine job and a troubled romance in London and moves into a renovated house in a nearby village. She has resolved to write a book and is settling down to her new way of life when a faulty faucet brings her into contact with a handyman named Steve, another British expat.

Sophie and John try to get used to their new way of life in the beautiful French countryside, but are hampered by their ignorance of the French language and culture, resulting in misunderstandings with local workers as well as mishaps in restaurants and elsewhere. Some of the unfortunate incidents are amusing while others are downright annoying. Julie and Steve embark on a passionate romance, but that, too, is not without its ups and downs.

Matters become increasingly ominous for Sophie and John, as their neighbor appears to be perpetrating a series of increasingly hostile acts. Eventually, after attempting to resolve the conflict by peaceful means as well as by increasing the height of their garden wall, John and Sophie decide to complain to the local police. The situation takes an ominous turn when their neighbor enters their house with murderous intent.

Cover_Sleepwalker_G_1530x2500About The Sleepwalker Legacy: A Gripping Financial Medical Thriller:

A drug so dangerous it could send humanity back to dark ages. Only one man can wipe it from the face of each. Meet Same Jardine. He is the new James Bond. He’s already saved the world twice…

The Ravenstone: The Secret of Ninham Mountain  

theravenstonethesecretofninhammountainAbout The Ravenstone: The Secret of Ninham Mountain:

Imagine a raven appearing out of thin air and guiding you to an exquisitely carved icon that glows with ancient light and pulses with shamanic power.

This is how the adventure begins for Nadia and Aidan Shaw, thirteen-year-old twins, who live
in idyllic Cold Spring, New York, on the banks of the Hudson River. Armed with the power
of the Ravenstone and their own special gifts, they embark on a harrowing quest across
centuries, at the bidding of a mysterious old shaman. They must depend on their courage,
their faith in their friends, and luck. Or is it destiny?

If they succeed, what they bring back could change the course of human existence.

~ ~ ~

“Solomon and Carey’s imaginative storytelling sweeps you into a fascinating tale of mystery and adventure. Young twins stumble upon an ancient power that could help their family in the future, or trap them in the past forever.” ~ Linda Zimmermann, successful author of thirty books about the paranormal and mysterious stone sites.
“I gave the book to my 12-year-old grandson. When he finished reading, he proclaimed that , “This book is better than Harry Potter!” We both hope Nadia and Aidan have another adventure!” ~ Cheryl P, Amazon review
“The main characters, 13-year-old twins, are honorable and courageous, and the reader really cares about them and roots for them. My grandson, who is 12, loved it, and asked it there will be another book with Nadia and Aidan.” ~ W. Lovett, Amazon review

” I loved this book! Although it’s written for middle-school aged children, I read it as an adult and thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s full of intrigue, mystery and fun. I will be reading this to my grandchildren and I know they’ll love it as much as I did. Can’t wait for the next volume.” ~ ck, Amazon review

“Simply put, I loved this book. Hated to put it down and didn’t want it to end. I loved the main characters—both of them. They were fully fleshed out and worthy of caring. I most definitely want another adventure. Please?” Laurie Seymour, Amazon review

“I really, really enjoyed the book! Definitely one of the best fantasy/sci – fi books I’ve read by far. The authors have taken an amazing concept, and made it even better! I loved the characters, especially Conall, (his backstory and personality were great). It’s an amazing read, and I can see it being a massive hit in schools, and with children generally, particularly ages 9 – 12.
The descriptions and sketches throughout were very nice, and the amount of detail – not too much, not too little – make it a really enjoyable read.
I loved how I could relate to Nadia and Aidan, and I felt as though I connected with them, so I felt really engrossed in the book.” E Carroll Amazon review

The Unknown Sun by Cheryl S. Mackey  

CMackey_TheUnknownSun_450x675sAbout The Unknown Sun by Cheryl S. Mackey:

Seventeen-year-old Moira is haunted by the accidents that claimed her parents and sisters. When a strange boy who seems to know too much about her past attacks her, Moira fears death will come for her a third time. She is rescued by twins Airi and Belamar, the winged heirs to the throne in Skyfall, and taken to safety in their world.

But Skyfall is dying, and the Immortals who had protected Airi and Belamar’s world have been missing since the Great War. Moira, Airi, and Belamar must find a journal left by the twins’ deceased mother, Tanari, that tells of a prophecy that must be fulfilled to find the Immortals known as The Unknown Sun so that Skyfall can be saved.

Deeper, darker, secrets unravel around the three friends as a revolution threatens their quest and the boy who tried to destroy Moira on Earth hunts them. Tanari knew more than she had let on, and within her journal a story is more than it seems, the past foretells the future, and a far-reaching plan is unveiled.

Why did Tanari reach across time and space to entrust a simple human girl with saving Skyfall? Who are the mysterious “Four” mentioned in the journal? And why does another Immortal want her, and The Unknown Sun, dead?

Author Bio:
I live in Southern California with my adorable hubby and 2 sons. I am a Document Specialist with a mortgage company during the day and a writer during the night!

I have a MFA in Creative Writing and enjoy games, reading and, of course, writing. I grow tall bearded irises and avidly listen to trailer music by groups like Audiomachine, Two Steps from Hell, and Future World Music. I currently have a flash fiction story published online at The Prompt Magazine.

My favorite genre to write and read is YA Fantasy closely followed by YA Paranormal and I would love to dabble in Steam Punk and Dystopian.

I have been writing for myself since I was 13 and using my mother’s dinosaur of a typewriter (it was from the fifties I think!) and my father’s special resume paper (without his knowledge). Those stories are long gone, but my brain never sleeps without coming up with new ideas. I am also a notoriously SLOW writer because I stress out and OCD over every word, freak out, then redo it. Rinse and repeat and you have why it takes me a year to do a draft.

There was something mysterious about her that him hooked and he was going to find out what it was, no matter what the cost. What he didn’t plan on, was finding out more than he bargained for, ultimately putting them both in danger. Will his need to have her win or will he lose her forever.
