  4. THE PORTRAIT

    THE-PORTRAIT-cover-for-KindleAbout THE PORTRAIT:

    Do You Love A Gripping Romance?

    ‘The Portrait’ will make you question whether true love ends with death, or can endure through multiple lifetimes.

    This haunting love story across time tells of Joseph Glenny, an artist who long ago lost the love of his life. After mourning her for many years, he is stunned to meet a girl who looks at him with his dead wife’s eyes. Is Jess who she seems – or can it conceivably be that Lara has found her way back to him? As Joseph tries to make sense of his feelings, Jess fights hers – especially after suddenly coming face-to-face with a portrait that takes her breath away.

    If you want to believe that love can last beyond death, you need to read this incredible story of enduring love and reincarnation.

    Author Bio:
    P.G. Glynn lives in the quirky ancient town of Totnes, close to glorious Dartmoor and not far from the sea at Torbay and Dartmouth. She is inspired, (and tries not to be daunted!) on her morning walks beside the Dart, by the knowledge that Agatha Christie could see this same river from her holiday home – Greenways – and that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is said to have set The Hound Of The Baskervilles on Dartmoor.

    To date she has written five novels – the genres ranging from a romantic saga, a paranormal romance and a ghost story to dog stories and animal stories. She was able to relax while writing her most recent book. Why? Because this was mostly written by her charismatic Bearded Collie, Sam, with just a little input from her!

  5. Blue Moon Brides Boxed Set: Books 1-3

    AnneMarsh_BlueMoonBrides_Bundle3D_800About Blue Moon Brides Boxed Set: Books 1-3:

    Discover New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Anne Marsh’s sexy Blue Moon Brides series! On sale for just 99 cents until the end of September!

    This boxed set includes the first three Blue Moon Brides books: TEMPTED BY THE PACK, PLEASURED BY THE PACK and CLAIMED BY THE PACK.

    Once in a blue moon… the Pack hunts for mates.

    TEMPTED BY THE PACK

    For Rafer Breaux, life in the Louisiana Bayou is harsh, violent—and deeply sensual. The Cajun werewolf lives for his Pack and he’ll do whatever it takes to keep his brothers safe. The longer a wolf lives without his fated mate, the harder it becomes for that wolf to shift back. To remember that he is a man—and not a monster. And those mates can only be found during a blue moon. When a blue moon finally rises, Rafer will need every weapon in his sensual arsenal to tempt one special woman into his arms and the heart of the Pack.

    Fighting to keep her family farm, Lark Andrews isn’t looking for love. Even if the very sexy Breaux brothers make her dream of hot bayou nights spent in their arms. When the blue moon leads Rafer to her door, however, Rafer has her rethinking her position on all work and no play. Now, the bayou nights are heating up as Rafer fights to convince her, one sensual touch at a time, to give love and passion a chance. But Rafer isn’t a one wolf deal. Is there room in Lark’s heart—and bed—for Rafer and his Pack?

    PLEASURED BY THE PACK

    Dre and Landry Breaux do everything together. Fishing, fighting—and loving. A whole lot of loving. When the blue moon leads these Cajun werewolves to their fated mate, however, they’re ready to reform. Now, they’ll fight to keep the woman of their dreams safe from the evils lurking in the Louisiana bayou—and to tempt her into taking a chance on two of the bayou’s sexiest bad boys.

    The Pack hunts for mates

    Mary Jane Johnson is no heartbreaker. Running from a troubled past, the bayou captain wants only to be left alone. When she takes a pair of bayou bad boys on board, however, Dre and Landry have her rethinking her need for space. These two big males have promised to take orders—all of her orders. Suddenly, she’s dreaming of getting as close as possible… to both of the Breaux brothers.

    CLAIMED BY THE PACK

    Alpha to the bone, Cajun shifter Dag Breaux must find his Blue Moon bride to preserve his humanity. Each passing day sees him lost further and further in the shift, more wolf than man. Emotions and feelings are foreign territory for Dag and all he has to offer his newfound female is raw, passionate sex and protection from the centuries-old vampire stalking the Louisiana bayou.

    Bayou mechanic Riley Jones stands on her own two feet. Always. She doesn’t need or want Dag’s infuriating brand of protection. Plus, she has secrets of her own that she’s desperate to keep. But there’s no denying the passion that burns between them and in the arms of her rough and tough shifter she discovers a darkly sensuous, no-holds-barred loving. When the vampire threatens Riley’s nearest and dearest, she must ask herself if resisting Dag’s mate claim is worth losing everything she cares about… or if teaching her wolf to love is worth the risk.

    Author Bio:
    A professional technical writer, Anne discovered that getting laid off was actually A Very Good Thing. While looking for her next writing gig, she picked up her pen (well, okay, she used her writing as an excuse to buy a new Apple laptop) and started writing. She soon discovered that writing was uncomfortably similar to sit-ups: add a few more crunches each day, wake up sore, but, by God, you will fit into that bikini. Or finish the book (she’s still working on the bikini). Now this New York Times and USA Today bestselling author cranks out software manuals during the daylight hours– and writes about alpha shapeshifters the rest of the time.

  6. Pay ONLY What’s Fair for Car Repair

    CarRepairAbout Pay ONLY What’s Fair for Car Repair:

    Kindle Countdown price reduction Sept. 18 to 24!

    Do you feel a moment of panic when your car’s Check Engine light comes on, knowing you’ll have to take it to a dealership to have that problem evaluated?

    Have you ever been shocked by an estimate for car repair, thinking it sounded way too expensive?

    Do you feel like your car is being held hostage because you don’t know enough about cars to evaluate the problem yourself?

    If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, this book is for you.

    Pay ONLY What’s Fair for Car Repair gives you a specific and easy-to-follow game plan for every time you take your car in for maintenance, diagnosis, or repair. Your knowledge plus this ebook will be a powerful combination against scams. The first time the author tried her own plan, she saved $500 and learned exactly how a car service desk worker had lied to her.

    Even if you’re knowledgeable about cars, and you’ve done your own repairs for years, you see what is happening in the auto repair world. Every year the onboard computer controls more and more of your car’s functions. In some cars, even the gas pedal is no longer connected directly to the engine. The position of the pedal is read by a computer, which in turn increases or decreases fuel into the engine.

    Not only that, but putting more and more control wires and tubes into smaller engine compartments has resulted in less space in which to work. Special tools are often required to perform even maintenance as simple as spark plug removal. This isn’t about whether or not you are knowledgeable enough to fix your car. There are repairs that are best done by a repair facility, and this ebook will be invaluable when you hit those repairs.

  7. Sacred Light Spirit Eagle by Cristael Ann Bengtson

    cristael-book-cover-377-clickAbout Sacred Light Spirit Eagle by Cristael Ann Bengtson:

    On a warm December day in California, Cristael Bengtson died. As she found herself lifting up out of her body into a dark and terrifying abyss, Cristael cried out, “God, help me! Please help me! Where are you God! Help me now!”

    Then a Light appeared, and it drew closer and closer until it enveloped Cristael with pure love.

    “I was surrounded by ripples and cascades of Light, rising and falling all around me, like immense waves in the middle of a huge ocean. Held and sheltered within a mighty flow of Light, I was a tiny girl child, newborn. I reached out with my glowing hand, and I touched the Light. The swell of a mother’s breast took shape under my hand, and I was swept away by powerful currents of Light.”

    The Light took Cristael to a great school, where she found herself in powerful currents of information, centered around the skills of writing and music. She was given information about her family and her mother and grandmother that she had never known.

    Finally she was given the choice to stay in this beautiful place, or to return to Earth. Knowing that her sons would be deeply hurt if she stayed, and knowing that she had work to do, Cristael made the difficult choice to return to Earth.

    As she returned, she found herself surrounded with unlimited numbers of what looked like huge LED screens that showed scenes from her entire life. And she remembered everything. Growing up in Pecos, her marriage, two children, and divorce. Her years as a teacher. The years she spent taking care of her dying mother. She remembered all her spiritual experiences and the many visionary and psychic experiences that led her and guided her through the years. She relived her struggles to deal with a culture and people that could not understand her.

    This is a heart wrenching story, filled with happiness and nostalgia, sorrow and trials, love and grief, and the overarching joy of the spiritual.

    One Amazon Top 1000 Reviewer says, “A wonderful story and very well written. This is a read that I would read again. I spent a long evening reading and thinking about this concept in a different light afterwards, and for that reason I would recommend it.”

    Author Bio:
    Raised in the high mountains of scenic northern New Mexico, Cristael Bengtson grew up riding horseback in the mountain forests and meadows surrounding the small village of Pecos, where her parents owned and operated a small power and telephone company. At the age of 17, she had a visionary experience of a loving and luminous Great Light.

    Married when she was 18, Cristael became the mother of two sons that she raised as a single mom. She earned BA degrees in music education and elementary education, going on to earn her Master of Arts in elementary education with a focus on the reading process.

    For two years she taught music in Sandoval County, at that time the third poorest county in the nation. She then became an elementary classroom teacher, teaching mainly third grade. During this time she studied voice intensively, and developed a lyric coloratura soprano voice.

    After her sons left home, Cristael left teaching and took care of her mother until she passed on.

    Cristael had her Near Death Experience in 1998. A lifelong journal-keeper, she began putting her book together about 2006. It was like finally scratching an itch in the middle of her back.

    Cristael enjoys singing. She is also in the grip of a lifelong compulsive book-reading habit.
