Author Bio:
The law of unintended consequences. Years ago, my son who was then in 6th grade, wrote a short story. I enjoyed it so much that I turned it into a novel. I then wrote a sequel at the request of the kids who read the original story.

In the sequel I named a character for a neighbor’s 9 year old girl and said she was boy crazy. When her mother read the story to her she cried. She hated boys. I felt badly and asked what I might write about to make her smile. She said the girl, Eloise, liked to fly in her dreams.

The next day I began Flying Girl, the first book of what would eventually be a 36+ book serial called Egg and the Hameggattic Sisterhood.



The Heartbeat Thief by AJ Krafton  

The-Heartbeat-Thief_AJ-Krafton_Kindle-coverAbout The Heartbeat Thief by AJ Krafton:

Haunted by a crushing fear of death, a young Victorian woman discovers the secret of eternal youth—she must surrender her life to attain it, and steal heartbeats to keep it.
In 1860 Surrey, a young woman has only one occupation: to marry. Senza Fyne is beautiful, intelligent, and lacks neither wealth nor connections. Finding a husband shouldn’t be difficult, not when she has her entire life before her. But it’s not life that preoccupies her thoughts. It’s death—and that shadowy spectre haunts her every step.
So does Mr. Knell. Heart-thumpingly attractive, obviously eligible—he’d be her perfect match if only he wasn’t so macabre. All his talk about death, all that teasing about knowing how to avoid it…
When her mother arranges a courtship with another man, Senza is desperate for escape from a dull prescripted destiny. Impulsively, she takes Knell up on his offer. He casts a spell that frees her from the cruelty of time and the threat of death—but at a steep price. In order to maintain eternal youth, she must feed on the heartbeats of others.
It’s a little bit Jane Austen, a little bit Edgar Allan Poe, and a whole lot of stealing heartbeats in order to stay young and beautiful forever. From the posh London season to the back alleys of Whitechapel, across the Channel, across the Pond, across the seas of Time…
How far will Senza Fyne go to avoid Death?
“A talented writer can convince a reader that fantasy is real; a gifted author makes it look easy from the opening scene. Such is Krafton’s brilliance in The Heartbeat Thief.” Bestselling Author Rachel McClellan

Highland Spy  

HighlandSpy_cover-2About Highland Spy:

Connor Grant is in search of a lady. Not a bride, but a woman to become a skillful and seductive spy in the service of King James. In addition to being the King’s personal assassin, Connor heads a group of female spies who aid him in his work, women with nothing left to lose.

Ariana Fitzroy is the perfect mark. Destitute, orphaned, and completely alone, she’s missed her chance at an advantageous match at court and cheats at cards to survive. When Connor catches her in the act, he threatens to expose her, unless she joins his elite roster of spies.

She agrees and is whisked away to a deserted Scottish castle to begin her training. Ariana quickly takes to her lessons in seduction, deception, and hand-to-hand combat, but less easy to fight are her feelings of lust toward the ruggedly handsome Connor, feelings she suspects may be reciprocated.

When Connor recruits her help on a mysterious task, the pair must work together to track a dangerous target. But Ariana suspects Connor isn’t telling her everything—not just about the mission, but also about his past. Will the secrets between them threaten their mission? And will they be able to fight their attraction as they wonder who they can trust?

The Mystery of Christmas  

About The Mystery of Christmas:

This is a collection of 6 books by various authors

Christmas is supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year, but a real-life Scrooge is threatening to ruin the season’s good will.

Holly Anna Paladin can’t wait to celebrate Christmas with family and friends. She loves everything about the season—celebrating the birth of Jesus, singing carols, and baking Christmas treats, just to name a few. But when a local family needs help, how can she say no?

Holly’s community has come together to help raise funds to save the home of Greg and Babette Sullivan, but a Bah-Humburgler has snatched the canisters of cash. Holly and her boyfriend, police detective Chase Dexter, team up to catch the Christmas crook.

Will they succeed in collecting enough cash to cover the Sullivans’ overdue bills? Or will someone succeed in ruining Christmas for all those involved?

ONCE UPON A CHRISTMAS WISH ~ Samantha Bayarr

Kate is lonely, single, and about to turn forty. She has lost all interest in the Christmas season until a mysterious package that has followed her around for twenty years winds up at her doorstep. When her handsome neighbor, Jack, takes an interest in the contents of the mystery package, will Kate’s outlook on Christmas change? How will Jack help her get past her worst Christmas ever?

BRIGHT NEW MURDER ~ Traci Tyne Hilton

Homeless preschoolers, angry protesters, frozen yogurt, and murder.

Jane Adler is keen to try on her detective hat, and the dead lady at the Christmas fundraiser is her perfect shot.

Timing is everything and this murder was timed perfectly to destroy her best friend Jake’s growing Fro-Yo business. He’s a great friend–just a friend, honest– and she owes him a favor or two.

But discovering who would want to kill the town’s favorite preschool teacher is messy business, and Jane doesn’t have a moment to waste!

SECRET SANTA ~ Amanda Tru

It was time for Hailey Rhodes to admit the truth: things were not going well. After losing her job as a teacher, she finds herself broke, unemployed, and tricked into accepting a date from a department store Santa Claus. When new opportunities and new love interests present themselves, will Hailey choose a career and a man she’s always admired, or will she wait for the identity of her Secret Santa to be revealed?

THEN THERE WERE NONE ~ V.B. Tenery

Mass murder doesn’t happen in Matt Foley’s town . . . it doesn’t happen to his friends. Someone is going to pay.

Disturbing crime scenes are nothing new to the Twin Falls Police Chief. But this one is different. The victims are friends. In their Tudor mansion just inside the city limits, a family is dead—husband, wife, two kids, and the family cook.

The killer made one mistake. He left a survivor.

The husband is one of the big three in the microchip industry. The family lived a quiet modest life. It doesn’t make sense.

Until . . .

SHADOWS OF DOUBT ~ Susette Williams

Raffealle Gellermine has a very protective uncle and two protective brothers. They never like the men she brings home. Mathew Flannigan has a past, but for the life of her, she can’t figure out why her Uncle Rob and her brothers are trying to encourage a relationship between them. Could her brothers be right? Does she unconsciously choose the wrong type of men? Can she trust Mathew? Especially with her heart?

Will shadows of doubt keep Raffealle from finding true love? Or will Mathew steal more than her heart?

Beginning a new series with a focus on fun and non-stop action for fans of Firefly & Guardians of the Galaxy.

And it’s only the start of Williym Blaik’s epic adventures through the shattered remains of a doomed universe. NO pretensions, NO melodramatics, NO existential angst, NO deep philosophizin’, NO fancy literary references (unless you count maybe a teeny bit of Wizard of Oz…), NO talky-talky plot. Just a fast-moving good time.

I began Death to the Witch-Queen at a time when I had just lost my kick-a** literary agent due to my inability to come up with a manuscript with mass commercial appeal. In protest, I decided to stop trying and just write something that I liked without regard for whether anyone else did. Mixing about five different genres? Fine, sure. Under the ideal novel length because it’s all action with no padding? Great, no problem. Characters and situations that are weird as &^%? Bring ’em on. I even threw in some damn dragons. With riders! Why not?

Jessie begins writing Sarah Engle in hopes that she will become his mail order bride. Not everyone is happy with their decision to wed. When the preacher said, till death do you part, did he mean literally? Or can a mail order bride and her groom truly have a happily ever after ending?

Montana’s Bride ~ Book 2

Montana Kincaid figures if writing a mail order bride worked out so well for his youngest brother, why not try it himself? He’s made sure to ask all the right questions so he doesn’t end up with any of the surprises Jessie had. But life is often full of surprises—unfortunately, they’re not all good surprises!

Mary Dobson lost her parents when she was still a child. Her aunt and uncle took her in and to raise. Out of obligation, Mary corresponded with Calvin, a friend of theirs, but stopped writing him once she started receiving letters from Montana. Unsettled by a recent letter from Calvin, Mary decides it best that she join her fiancé, Montana, several months earlier than planned.

Caleb’s Bride ~ Book 3

Caleb Kincaid only planned on having a night on the town—playing poker. Ma never liked him gambling, and he was starting to understand why. Especially when he ends up winning a hand that will change his life.

Naomi Hudson had hoped to become a mail order bride in order to get away from having to care for her family—namely her pa and two older brothers. But one night when Pa is drunk, he gambles away her hand in marriage. It seems that even an older fiancé isn’t totally interested in her, since he soon loses her to someone else. Doesn’t anyone want to marry her for who she is? Can Naomi find it in her heart to care for a man out of love, especially when he needs her most?

Marshall’s Bride ~ Book 4

Lizzie Neuman came to America filled with hopes and dreams for her and her husband. His unexpected death left her stranded in a new country. Not having anywhere to turn, she reluctantly responds to an ad for a mail order bride.

Marshall never planned to marry. In his line of work, he had to worry about people he arrested in the past coming after him. He accepted the path he’d chosen when he agreed to become the sheriff. He never intended to put a wife or children in harm’s way. So when Lizzie shows up in town, claiming to be his fiancée, and holding some letters supposedly from him, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out something isn’t right.

Who knew enough about Marshall to write such personal letters? Could this be an elaborate scheme to get revenge? Or is Lizzie the realization of a dream he never dared have?

Husband of the Bride ~ Book 5

Widowed for years, Ma has been the matriarch of the family, facing the challenges of raising four boys who are now men. With the arrival of her first grandchild imminent, Ma finds herself face-to-face with the town doctor who has very differing views than her own.

Doc is very opinionated, and he’s of the opinion that it is time for Ma to look out for her own needs—or desires. He’s old enough to know you can’t live in the past, and you need to move on to have a future. But can he convince a very determined woman he’s worth settling with?

Will Ma be able to keep up with her four sons and their new brides and survive the holidays, or will her family grow even larger – in more ways than one?

Having raised six children, I realize how busy and hectic schedules can be, which is why I decided to begin writing novelettes–for the busy reader on-the-go. Now you can enjoy a shorter story when you don’t have time to sit down and read a novel. These are the perfect length book to read when you are waiting in a doctor or dentist office, trying to kill time while your child is at practice or a school sporting event, etc. I have waited for children a lot over the years, or at the doctor/dentist visit, and it helps when you have something you can do. It’s also nice when you can read a book for entertainment for less than the price of a cup of coffee!

I hope you will enjoy not only my novelettes, but all of my longer stories as well. I can’t thank you enough for your continued support and hope that you are truly blessed in the year to come–Thank You!



Refused Existence by Steven Wain  

About Refused Existence by Steven Wain:

It haunts our dreams. It stalks our streets and lurks within the halls of our homes. It tingles our spines and waters our eyes. A world very different to the daylight that accompanies us in the waking hours. It is there, waiting to be spotted, but it is never seen.

We know it’s there, but we tell ourselves it doesn’t exist.

Gathered here are ten twisted stories from this dark universe.

A young girl walks home from school, unaware of the dark shadow which stalks her every step. A mother watches on as her child is slaughtered by a band of crazed psychopaths. A man makes his three hour journey home, wanting but failing to ignore the strange child who sobs in the back seat of his car. A boy sits alone in a room with a journal and a boarded up window, tormented by a merciless entity.

Don’t expect sunshine and rainbows. You won’t find those here.

Mercedes Sosa – The Voice of Hope by Anette Christensen  

About Mercedes Sosa – The Voice of Hope by Anette Christensen:

The world-famed Argentine singer, social activist and folk legend Mercedes Sosa was an artist whose impact went far beyond the borders of music. She used her voice to fight South America’s dictators in the 1970s and became known as “The Voice of the Voiceless.” Her socially committed music and her outstanding authenticity made her a role model for millions of fans and a much-loved mother of Latin America.
What is it that made her so loved and her music so powerful that she made oppressive governments tremble and what was the secret behind the “mystical presence” that captivated her audiences for decades?
Mercedes Sosa, The Voice of Hope charts Sosa’s remarkable life and career and provides an insightful psychological profile that reveals how Sosa’s upbringing, the political environment of her time, and her personal afflictions shaped her character, her stance, and her music and led to her enormous impact.
Besides being a personal profile of the singer and a chronicle of Latin American music, history, and politics, Christensen shares how her encounter with Mercedes Sosa transformed her life.
Christensen immersed herself in Sosa’s music and life for years and recovered from emotional trauma while connecting with Mercedes Sosa as a mother figure. With research into neuroscience, Christensen explores how a positive interpersonal relationship, mindfulness, and music can induce healing and increase well-being.
The portrait of Mercedes Sosa and Christensen’s story of how her connection with Mercedes has reinvigorated her life is enthralling and shows how the life of one person can touch the lives of many others. Mercedes Sosa, The Voice of Hope brings consolation and relief to everyone who suffers from stress, trauma, or a painful past and offers a balanced and practical approach to personal growth that can easily be accessed by anyone.

The book is richly illustrated with the author’s personal drawings of Mercedes Sosa, which she made as a part of her personal recovery process from emotional trauma during her time with Mercedes Sosa. Furthermore, the book contains multiple exquisite historical photos supporting the book’s descriptions of Mercedes Sosa and Argentine history more generally.

Author Bio:
Anette Christensen, born and raised in Denmark, began her career by helping develop international charity programs. Later she became a language teacher for college students, and then, with her husband, ran a travel agency and a real estate agency. Now semi-retired and living in Turkey, she writes and focuses on personal growth.

For years Anette traveled in many parts of the world. Her experiences with various cultures have enabled her to engage with people with a different outlook on life than her own. She is eager to learn from others and finds joy in embracing the difference of others, spotting the uniqueness that she believes is within each individual.

It was only upon Mercedes Sosa’s death that Anette Christensen discovered this influential and important Argentine singer. Captivated by Sosa’s voice and presence, the author immersed herself in Sosa’s music and life. In doing so, Anette discovered an avenue to personal transformation and well-being that can easily be accessed by anyone. In her book on Sosa, Anette shares the singer’s story while exploring the scientific underpinnings of how connecting with another person leads to growth, something Anette discovered intuitively.

Being Danish writing in English when most sources are only available in Spanish bear witness to Anette’s “Viking mentality.” She never steps back for a challenge.

Mercedes Sosa – The Voice of Hope is the first book by Christensen and has been in the making for almost seven years. It is a product of a life fully lived and shows that Anette is a gifted storyteller.
