Diary of a Single Wedding Planner
About Diary of a Single Wedding Planner:
Wedding planner Tyler Warren left heartbreak behind when she ran away from her small Southern hometown and started a new life in a big city. Years later, she wants to believe in the fairy-tale endings her job promotes, but the clients she meets day after day seem to be more “Crazily Ever After” than “Happily Ever After.”
Meanwhile, her own attempts at romance play out as bizarre comedies rather than love stories, and she’s starting to think Prince Charming either fell off his horse or got eaten by a dragon. When unresolved issues from Tyler’s past complicate things even further, she discovers she may yet have some things to figure out before she can find her own happy ending.
This delightful first book in the Tales Behind the Veils series chronicles Tyler’s wacky misadventures, both personal and professional. Whether she’s getting insane requests from brides or outlandish requests on dates, you’re sure to be charmed and entertained by the Diary of a Single Wedding Planner.

A Flicker of Light
A Historical Holocaust novel, inspired by factual events that took place in Nazi occupied Germany
FACT: In 1935, the Nazis established a program called “The Lebensborn.”
Their agenda, was to genetically engineer perfect Aryan children.
These children were to be the new master race, once Hitler had cleared all undesirable elements (Jews, Gypsies, and everyone else the Nazi’s felt had no right to live) out of Europe. Within a year the first Lebensborn institution was built and the program was underway.
“A Flicker Of Light”
The year is 1943….
The forests of Munich are crawling with danger under the rule of “The Third Reich,” but in order to save the life of her unborn child Petra Jorgenson must escape from the home for the Lebensborn. Alone, seven months pregnant, penniless and ever threatened by the watchful eyes of the armed guards in the overhead tower, she waits until the dead of a frozen winter night. Then, Petra climbs under the flesh shredding barbed wire that surrounds the institute and at the risk of being captured and murdered she runs headlong into the terrifying desolate woods.
Even during one of the darkest periods in the history of mankind, when horrific acts of cruelty became commonplace and Germany seemed to have gone crazy following the direction of a madman, sometimes ordinary people took monumental risks and proved to be unexpected heroes. And even through there were those who would try to destroy it, true love would prevail. Here, in this lost land ruled by human monsters, Petra will learn that even when faced with what appears to be the end of the world if one looks hard enough there is always “A Flicker Of Light.”

Author Bio:
I am an American author. My father was Romany and my mother was Jewish, When I was very young I learned about the Holocaust. I couldn’t understand how something like this could happen. So, I began to research and learn more. I met with survivors. I even met with children and grandchildren of SS officers. But I still had no answers. I cannot say that I have all of the answers to all of my questions even now. But what I do know is that soon all of the survivors will be gone. Their message must be remembered, the sacrifices that they made must not be forgotten. And so I humbly and with the utmost humility try to tell their stories. It is painful, but I must convey the darkness and horror of the time, but I also want the world the know and celebrate the unsung heroes. Because there were many ordinary people who acted in heroic ways. I realize that writing these books is a great responsibility. I pray every day that I am able to do this correctly. I am trying to reach out and touch many people, not with the message of the horrors but with the promise of hope. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for considering my work. It is an honor that I never take lightly.
Senseless Fate

Kara is hoping to make it through the mountains without making an impression on anyone. She can’t afford to be remembered by anyone who might put two and two together when they see her on the news. She knows it’s a bad idea to let the handsome stranger tag along with her but he’s clearly injured and needs her help.
Against her better judgment, she can’t help opening up to the sexy hitch hiker, sharing her secrets with him as well as her body.
Lowell’s wolf is begging to reveal itself to the haunted and beautiful Kara but that’s not a risk Lowell can afford for a woman who’s destined to be nothing more than a one night stand.
When Kara’s demons catch up to her the pack finds itself fighting to save more than just than just their brother’s human mate as they try to prevent getting dragged into a scandal that could destroy them all.

Paradigm Lost: Jamari and the Manhood Rites, Part 1 by R. Roderick Rowe
About Paradigm Lost: Jamari and the Manhood Rites, Part 1 by R. Roderick Rowe:
In the post-apocalyptic remnants of the Pacific Northwest, Jamari begins a series of rituals marking his transition from boy to man—uncovering secrets about his tribe, and himself, along the way.
In the year 2115, in the post-apocalyptic Pacific Northwest, The Tribe remains society’s best hope of survival —promoting harmony, and the sharing of resources, through a strict code of values.
He’s spent his life as a sheltered youngling of The Tribe. But now, young Jamari is ready to take the next step. Through a series of lessons and challenges, he is prepared to undergo the process that will transform him from a boy into a man.
He has no way of knowing what the journey in front of him will hold—but Jamari is willing to do just about anything it takes to serve his branch of the tribe as a fully grown adult.
As he undergoes this rigorous physical and mental training, Jamari also finds himself delving into a new world of self-discovery, as his interactions with a mentor unlock passionate desires he never knew he had. Can Jamari learn to live by tribal code and abide by the Rule of Attachment? Can he perform his tribal duties for the betterment of the tribe?
4 out of 5 stars—San Francisco Book Review
“Author, R. Roderick Rowe, essentially takes current day society taboos and makes them the norm in the dystopian society in Paradigm Lost: Jamari and The Manhood Rites, Part 1 as far as governing bodies, family make up and sexual preference. He does a great job of integrating events that have happened in our lifetime (i.e. September 11th, ISIS, use of natural gases, etc.) and adds them to the story as history for this society. As far as the role of government and how society is run, readers are allowed to see another, albeit fictional, possibility. The acceptance of homosexuality as a norm in this society and heterosexuality as simply a means to an end is a clever way to address how taboo and unaccepted homosexuality is now.”—Manhattan Book Review

R. Roderick Rowe studied writing in college for several years, working as assistant editor, then editor, for his college’s literary magazine. He also spent a term as copy editor for his campus newspaper. He makes his home in Oregon where he writes in the wintery months of October through April and owns and operates a commercial fishing boat on the Oregon Coast the rest of the year.
Throughout his career in writing, Rowe has published a number of short stories and poems, as well as a technical manual for power plant employees. He was editor of a statewide newsletter for 5 years just prior to taking on a writing career full time. Paradigm Lost, penned under a pseudonym, is far different in genre and style than anything he has written before.
Rowe is 53 years old and went through his own coming-of-age in an era when beating fags was not just okay, but, encouraged in the cultural mores. He has taken many of the things he experienced in his developing years and created a wish list of things to change to make a better society. Rowe studied some Cultural Anthropology while in college and took some liberties with hallmarks of various cultures to delve into some cultural engineering in this work.

Author Bio:
A cat lover from an early age, Peter Scottsdale wrote his first cat tale, “The Cat and the Dog,” in a grade three creative writing exercise – the story of a cat and a dog lost in the woods, and the police shooting the dog for some reason. Peter drew inspiration for the story from Disney’s The Incredible Journey.
Inspired by such books as Hardy Boys Mysteries, Marvel Comics and Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Scottsdale wrote several published short stories with his grade nine English teacher.
Then life happened. Scottsdale stopped writing, only scribbling bits of story every so often. A family came along which turned into single parenthood. He raised his kids and wrote here-and-there.
Throughout his life, cats have been a welcome and influencing presence. From Tia (a Siamese) to Booties (a Tabby with White) to Rusty (an orange boy with little ears) to Sam the Siamese, Peter has loved all his felines (and still does). He’s loved all his cats so much so he started to write about them. They have inspired and delighted him to create cat stories and to find feline facts for his books.
Cat lover turned author, Peter Scottsdale published his first book, 365 Fascinating Facts You Didn’t Know About Your Cat, in 2012. He followed that with “The Christmas Cat” and “The Christmas Cat 2.” Recently he released How Do Cats Do That?, The Wonder of Cats and “The Christmas Cat 3” for the 2016 holiday season, all on Amazon.
An English Major, Scottsdale graduated from Medicine Hat College with an Associate of Arts Diploma in 1995. He continues to research our furry felines and write cat fiction and non-fiction and hopes fellow kitty-cat people will enjoy his work.
Currently, he resides in Medicine Hat, AB with his two cats: Tanzy (the feisty feline) and Alley (the mischief maker).
The R.E.M. Effect by J.M. Lanham
About The R.E.M. Effect by J.M. Lanham:
It’s 2021 and Paul Freeman just landed a job with Asteria Pharmaceuticals, a world leader in revolutionary drug development. Paul knows the company’s future is riding on the success of their latest product – a sleeping pill designed to interact with the human genome to deliver the perfect eight-hour sleep cycle.
Just a few blocks from Asteria’s Atlanta headquarters, troubled self-help guru Donny Ford is selling a different kind of drug, empowering followers to take control of their lives using a sacred meditation technique skeptics believe may have already taken his mind to a dangerous place.
3,000 miles away, war-hardened journalist Claire Connor sits captive in a top-secret facility hidden deep in the Costa Rican jungle, guilty of two offenses: seeking help for a sleep disorder, and asking too many questions.
When these worlds collide, the three will discover just how far some companies are willing to go to protect the bottom line.

Author Bio:
No obstacle is too big to overcome for Klyn Elsbury. In 2014, after being forced to quit her professional recruiting career due to complications of Cystic Fibrosis, she was confined to a wheelchair, with her lung function plummeting below 40%. After a two-week hospital stay (just one of five that year alone), she took her very first Zumba fitness class. Unable to complete the 60-minute class due to excessive coughing and intense lung pain, she set off on a six-week road trip across the United States to visit friends and family she wasn’t sure she would live to see again.
On that road trip, Elsbury attended more Zumba classes and through each cough, gained the confidence she needed to face the road ahead. Walking out of one class, she sent a text message to her parents that read, “I will dedicate the rest of my life to becoming a fitness professional.”
Now, Elsbury has recovered most of her lungs and is a certified personal trainer and dance instructor living in San Diego. She is a sponsored athlete who competed in her first bikini competition in May, 2016. That same year, she gained national media attention for her advocacy efforts relating to the affordability of pharmaceutical drugs.
As a professional motivational speaker, Elsbury shares how she was able to overcome her physical limitations to pursue her passions. She inspires audiences to find something they love and go after it with all their heart. Her story has been featured in numerous publications including Manifest Station and Zumba blog, and she has appeared on several shows including KPBS, NPR, and US News Nightly Report with Lester Holt.
“The Robed Pretender of Mordred Castle”
About “The Robed Pretender of Mordred Castle”:
“I am Thomas Mordred and I am a fake, a pretender. It’s not my fault, I woke up and found myself in an opulent bedroom meant only for a king. Before I could escape, a slave named Darden came up behind me and called me “Your Majesty”. He quietly explained that I am King Mordred the Seventh of Broanmire and that I suffer from blackouts. Over the years, I said I always went to a strange place with scary people when I was unconscious, until I spoke of it no more. He says that nowadays I awaken and have lost my memory but it seems that they must still be with me because somehow, I act as though I know what I’m doing…almost naturally. He told me I always wear my robe and now I have come to call myself “The Robed Pretender of Mordred Castle”.
Although he’s tried to help me learn about Broanmire, I can’t rely upon his counsel alone. I know or remember nothing of Broanmire or its allies and treaties or even its enemies. I know nothing of the people or if I treat them well or ill. I know not who to trust or even who to fear. I need to learn how to be their King and how to command my army and navy, how to lead and when to heed the counsel of others.
I found a thick book of Broanmire’s history and my Mordred family predecessors. After reading the details of my ancestry and my appointed administrators, The Seven Houses of the Elites, who run the Kingdom under my direction and command, there is much to learn. I realized that I must tour this island nation and get to know the Seven Houses and my subjects, how they live, etc.. If I am to get out of this situation alive I must know the entire Kingdom so that I may have a mental picture and accurate knowledge of all and everything within it.”
***
You are invited to follow along with King Mordred as he tours his Kingdom and learns the lay of the land, meets his subjects and the privileged people who administer The Seven Houses. Watch over his shoulder as he evolves into a better King and a better person, yet he’s also dangerous to those who evoke his wrath. It’s a different time, a time when punishment and war were primitive and ruthless. Feel his pain when he falls for a woman who acts as though she can’t wait to get away from him.
Many adventures are ahead of Mordred, some good, some bad, even terrible. Order the paperback on Amazon.com or download it to your Kindle and travel with him on his journey of courage and honor.

Just One Friend by June Shaw, Brooke and Caroline Naquin
About Just One Friend by June Shaw, Brooke and Caroline Naquin:
After warfare destroyed most of the country, only one area remains where people can survive. Because of limited food and space, the leaders decreed that each person is allowed to have only one friend.
A teenage girl believes things should be otherwise.
Sixteen-year-old Alabama Long keeps her head high, even with the heavy metal ball the Guards chained to her back. She feels the eyes of Tellers on her as she’s led down the dirt road to the old stadium, where a scanner checks the device implanted in her heel and wants the name of her friend. Her grandmother who’s raised her is the only person she can speak to freely while inside their dwelling, but why not one or more of those other teen girls she performs with? Or the Teller boy who watches her with a different kind of interest? Soon she’s thrust into realizing that the scruffy mutt who tries to jump hurdles with her will become the catalyst to send her and her friend to discover a better place—or their cruel deaths.

Author Bio:
I’m happy that after I’d written a number of books, my teen granddaughters Brooke and Caroline asked to write a book with me. They thought it would be fun, had been avid readers and loved Hunger Games just like I did, so the decision of what genre we’d write was easy.
I’m a retired teacher who always wanted to write. My first book, Relative Danger, was nominated for the David award for Best Mystery of the Year. I’ve represented Louisiana on the board of Mystery Writers of America and been the Published Author Liaison for South Louisiana’s chapter of Romance Writers of America. Being from the Deep South, I love to fish, swim, and cheer for LSU and the Saints.
Brooke attends LSU with plans to become an orthodontist. She was on her high school’s dance team and played soccer. Caroline is a junior at her high school, where she’s a cheerleader. Both love to swim and be with family and friends.
Their little sister Claire also asked to write a book with me so we created How to Take Care of Your Pet Ghost. It’s done well.
We really hope you enjoy our work and contact us!

Author Bio:
Teri Hanson currently resides in small town Texas with her husband John and an adopted Yorkie-Terrier mix named Chewy. Her two sons: John F and Sean are grown and out on their own, leaving her with more time to write. When she isn’t writing, you can find her working on her other hobby of creating miniatures. She also owns The Covered Chipboard where she sells patterns for her original miniatures. She loves reading mysteries, thrillers, and horror, as well as watching movies.
Being a huge fan of Alfred Hitchcock and the way he made an appearance in many of his movies, she decided to adopt some type of signature within all of her books, leaving Chapter 13 out. You’ll notice the book jump from Chapter 12 to 14 in all of her books.
