1. Sapphire and Shadow (A Woman’s Life Book 1)

   About Sapphire and Shadow (A Woman’s Life Book 1):

   They could have had it all.

   Johanna Whitney does seem to have it all–beauty, intelligence, talent, and a rich husband whose genius has created stunning films. What she is desperately trying to cover up is just how tragically that life is coming unraveled.  Her husband’s drug use, fueled by his fear of being unable to replicate his success, renders him incapable of showing her the love she once gave up everything for.  Her closest friend is killed in a plane crash and even her daughter seems to prefer her husband’s latest young lover to her own mother. The harder Johanna works at trying to patch the holes of her life, the more things come undone.

   It all comes to a head on location in London. Johanna watches happiness slipping away and turns for comfort to a young British artisan.  He tries to teach her to love herself again, and to dare to reach for happiness. Though he manages to awaken her emotions, her husband’s drug arrest in Italy and her daughter’s sudden illness make her realize she needs to go home–not to Los Angeles, but to New York.

   Leaving all the wealth and influence she’s been living with behind, she and her daughter feel like refugees as they search for a place to live and a way to make a living. Both needs are answered when they find shelter with an old friend and colleague in his art gallery.  Johanna is back to her roots in the art world, but she’s been gone a long time and she searches to find ways to heal and blossom. Even more difficult is the struggle to release her heart from the chains of fear and learn to love again.

   bio

   Born in West Germany, arrived in the U.S. at four, I began writing when I was eleven. I began selling many years after that. Along the way, I acquired a Masters in Shakespearean Comedy from Queens College in N.Y, a husband and two kids (in that order)—the dog came later.

   My first romance was bought by Second Chance At Love November of 1981. The road from there to here has two hundred and six more sales to it. I’ve been published by Silhouette, Harlequin, Zebra, Harper, Bantam and Berkeley.

   I’ve been fortunate enough to have received several Rita nominations from the Romance Writers of America Association over the years, with one win for FATHER GOOSE (in the Traditional Romance Category). I’ve also been nominated several times in various categories by Romantic Times Magazine.

   I hope to be found one day—many, many years from now—slumped over my computer, writing to the last moment. But before then, I would dearly love to write a successful screenplay. My goal has always been to entertain.

   Author Bio:
   Alyne de Winter is an author of Gothic Mysteries and Occult Thrillers featuring tormented beauties, eerie settings, night religions, secret histories… She has a history of writing stories, beginning in childhood with her own faery tales and spooky stories. After years in theater and dance, she found her way back to storytelling—blame it on the haunted house in London, blame it on finally choosing to write the kind of stories she likes to read, blame it on the muse who never goes away.

   My horror stories are mysterious and dark and suspenseful, but definitelly PG.

3. CONVERSATIONS WITH THE GOLF GOD

   About CONVERSATIONS WITH THE GOLF GOD:

   Every day around the world golfers wonder if the Golf God is real and how much he impacts the game. This book answers many age old questions. Yes, the Golf God is real! He appeared to local golfer Shanks one day, dancing on a bar at The Fleece Muni Golf Course and told Shanks he had been chosen to be his disciple. “Why have I been chosen?” Shanks asked, bewildered. “Because you are the worst putter I have ever seen and to continue to play the game you have to be filled with devotion,” answered the Golf God righteously.

   The Golf God also informed Shanks he had been assigned the task to write the Golf Gods’ legacy. In between beer, cigarettes, and pizza the Golf God told Shanks the real history of golf, explained the fine points of throwing a club, what golf terms really mean, why we play the game, and a few tips about putting, while Shanks shared several stories about real life golfers at the Golf God’s request – the kind who take your hard earned cash and lie about their handicaps. Grab a slice of pizza, have a beer, maybe a smoke, then sit back and feel like you are in the room enjoying the conversations between Shanks and the Golf God!

   Author Bio:
   Mary Dunlop, contributor to Tiny Buddha’s Guide to Loving Yourself , is a passionate student of life with a keen desire to learn, share, and grow. She believes in the mysticism of love and the joy it forever provides.

   In her novel, The Power of Twin Soul Love, Dunlop examines the concepts of how spiritual energy works and that all we have to do to live the best possible version of life is to follow the energy’s flow. Her book speaks of the love that exists for every human soul.

   Mary’s love for the short-fiction novel began at the age of fifteen with the school-appointed read, “The Catcher in the Rye”. So much emotion packed into so few pages remained with her always and attracted her to other short works, including and perhaps most notably “Gift from the Sea” by Anne Morrow Lindbergh. That little book, through its soulful lyrical writing, helped Mary find her voice. As soon as she finished reading it, she shelved the novel she had begun to write and penned, instead, “The Power of Twin Soul Love”.

   She lives with her husband in Montreal, Canada and enjoys reading, writing, running, and a regular meditation practice.
