- Rock Notes
About Rock Notes:
Madison Tierney’s a writer, whose husband, Thomas suddenly left her after 10 years; she is destroyed and now recently alone and divorced. She picks herself up slowly trying to restore her lost confidence and ability to love again. She follows her writing passion and ventures to follow a local band – Rolling Isaac’s and write about them, raw and real and how they follow their dreams. Her book is titled ROCK NOTES (Book One of the Heartbeat Series).
Her ex-husband wants to come back, and she is torn with what she had for ten years with him which was safe, comforting and a committed relationship. And now she is falling hard for the band singer – Max Rand (Madison calls him Rand), who is several years younger than her and every moment with him is intense and unpredictable.
Rand has tragically lost love in his life. He has no love left to give. He fills his time with many groupies and late nights. The story travels you to various concert venues, from a sexy piercing party to a New Years rocking eve. There are many interruptions and assumptions for this couple along their journey.
While Madison is writing ROCK NOTES, somewhere along the way she begins to write LOVE NOTES, which are personal secret love letters for Rand. Also Rand is always writing music with the hope of creating his first solo album. Both Madison and Rand appear to be able to write their feelings on paper effortlessly but have a hard time conveying them to one another.
This story is about being so broken inside from having your heart ripped apart, to attempting to rebuild trust, follow your dreams and hopefully find love. Will she return to the warm awaiting arms of her ex-husband who still is in love with her? Or will there be a new beginning for Madison and Rand?
Can these two empty souls feel love again? Or will what ignites between them simply fade away after the concert lights dim?

- Confession by Troy Lambert
About Confession by Troy Lambert:Samuel Elijah Johnson spent time in prison, but earned his Juris doctorate while incarcerated. Now on the outside, he thinks he is on the right track. Until an attempt on his life brings him face-to-face with his past, and the family he’d rather forget.
His mother’s belief that he is some kind of Messiah haunts him, and he discovers she is not alone.
There is an entire church that shares her beliefs, and more. They think they are doing God’s work, and convince Sam to join them. But evil rears its ugly head, and he discovers a different kind of prison. One that glorifies confession, demands obedience, and punishes transgression. Will he take his place among their leaders? Or will he try to walk away, only to find someone is willing to kill for his final Confession?

- 50 Saints Everyone Should Know
About 50 Saints Everyone Should Know:This book is an introduction to fifty of the most notable saints of the Catholic Church. Most Catholics have grown up seeing images of these saints in their churches and religious institutions. And of course these saints have inspired some of the world’s greatest art. Many of these saints are also venerated by other Christian denominations and even non-Christians are familiar with the names of Peter, Francis of Assisi and Mary Magdalene, yet few of us could explain exactly who they were and why they are worth our attention. I hope that the stories shared here will introduce you to these amazing people.
A brief word about the process of canonization:
The Catholic Church teaches that everyone who lives a life of grace in union with God will receive the reward of eternal life and join the communion of saints. Everyone in heaven is considered a saint. The fifty saints in this book are among the thousands of “canonized” saints of the Church. They are recognized as models or intercessors and venerated because they lived lives of heroic virtue or remained faithful to God through martyrdom.
The canonization process is long and detailed. In brief, there are four steps: First, there is an investigation into the individual’s life by the local diocese. If that concludes well, the individual is designated a “Servant of God,” and all the files and research are sent off to the Vatican’s Congregation for the Causes of the Saints. In the next, second step, the Congregation begins reviewing this material while conducting its own investigation and welcoming any new information. Once a panel of theologians is satisfied, the individual is declared “Venerable.”
Up until this point the process resembles a congressional investigation, but now the supernatural element takes on importance because for the third step, beatification, the Congregation must credit a miracle (usually a healing) to the intercession of the candidate. Father Pat McCloskey recently described the process in St. Anthony Messenger, “A reported miracle must be examined by three teams that work independently: doctors, theologians and several cardinals. If they and the Pope agree that the cure was miraculous, the person can be officially declared Blessed. (If the person is acknowledged as a martyr, no miracle is needed at this stage.)” The individual can be celebrated locally and within his or her religious community.
A second miracle must occur after the beatification and it requires the same process of approval. At that time, the Congregation recommends canonization and the Pope proclaims that we have another great example to look to as proof that heaven is reachable for us all.

Hi.I’m Tanja. I live in Tromso, Norway.
Life here is simple, clear, fair and close to nature; somehow funny and challenging too! Hopefully, this is reflected in my books.
I draw, and describe my pictures in words if needed; this is what I call “writing”.
I mostly write in Russian; when I feel the need to do it in English, I ask my colleague Jim for help in proof-reading (this might be called “improve-reading” as well).
I have an adorable husband and two kids (reminder: update when neccessary) who are, simultaneously, an endless source of inspiration and the black hole eating my time.
But what else would I need time for?

- Solace Inc
About Solace Inc:With the advent of the first commercially available 3D printers capable of scanning and printing humans, life on Earth changes instantly. The benefits are wondrous: people no longer age or sicken, as they re-print themselves young, and in peak health – with any physiological, intellectual, or psychological modifications they desire. But to pay for this service, society is forced to work hard, constantly. They no longer eat or sleep, choosing instead to re-print themselves as if they had already eaten well, and slept a full eight hours. The world becomes overwhelmingly overpopulated, bullet-paced, and stressed.
Thankfully, Solace Inc has the solution: a pill which temporarily slows the user’s perception of time, and blots out the interminable busy-ness of the world. But Anders, a quiet anarchist who has worked his way to the top of Solace Inc, has modified the latest batch of Solace Pills. And this modification is going to change everything.

About Hot Damn:Scarlet Poteet spots the cowboy across the crowded bar and though she doesn’t get involved with rodeo men who are here today and gone tomorrow, she can’t resist his swagger and the rugged air he wears like a second skin. Dying to dance, living to forget the pain of heartbreak, she heads his way knowing it’s probably a big mistake. She doesn’t DO temporary men but…hot damn!
Rodeo rider, Nash Logan, makes it a hard and fast rule to never get involved with the locals. He made that mistake once before and swore, never again but, damn if the leggy brunette isn’t a major temptation. She’s just the kind of woman to make a lonely man want to settle down for good. He should avoid her like the plague but…hot damn!

These days I live in Florida where I’m embarking on new adventures in the tropics. Hey, expanding horizons is a good thing, right? But wherever I am, life is good as long as family is with me. I am a doting, fawning, and over-indulgent mom to my two kids (who happen to be the coolest people on the planet).
When I’m not penning steamy erotic tales or hot contemporary stories, I indulge in long chats with friends who help me stay sane and keep me laughing. Wanna be my friend forever? Make me laugh.

I grew up on a farm in Donegal, Ireland. We didn’t have running water. I had to ride up the hill with my Grandad, Willie Lyons, every morning with a bucket on each handlebar, which we’d fill from the spring. Not a tap, a real life spring. It was wilderness with civilization only five miles down the road.But it was magical. I imagined the trolls under the bridge I crossed every day to get the water. As I grew up I bought my daughters back and showed them the bridge. I started to make up bedtime stories about the faeries and creatures I’d met. For years I told a different story every night.
Then they grew up. I had no more stories to tell.
So now I write instead.

The war is ending and for Lee Hartwell and his family it bodes the end of something they won’t understand until it is too late.
” Explosive racial tension, betrayal and murder, difficult ethical and social decisions, first love and a dramatic denouemont in a sweaty Virginia courtroom are skillfully entwined in this haunting tale which has all the characteristics of a good summer read.” Starred Review Publishers Weekly
Book of the Month Club Selection
“The summer my brother came home from the war was so hot they had to repave the soft tar of Hermitage Street twice. I remember watching the crews, their white t-shirts glowing in the July night with the gravel smoke dancing white under a low moon. It was the last war summer and we received a telegram saying Lucas has been wounded. First we thought he had been shot in the leg, then it became the foot.”
