A CITY GIRL

I have to go to Wyoming to help my sick grandfather. On my way, I find a tough guy whose truck broke down–he’s dead sexy and I can’t resist a hot man in distress. We hit it off and soon a lunch together turns into more. Way more. He brings me flowers, and then he makes love to me.

She brings out the mountain man in me.
I want to make her mine.
But I know she’s going back to LA.

Donna B. McNicol is a retired IT professional who started writing fiction after retirement. Her preferred genre is small town mysteries with a dash of romance but she has also tackled children’s stories, fantasy and small town romance. In addition, her short stories have been included in several anthologies.

In the words of the author:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think I was destined to be a writer – in the 4th grade I took my toy typewriter and painstakingly typed out the neighborhood news, one copy at a time, and sold it to the neighbors for ten cents each. But as often happens, life intervenes and writing took a back seat to spending 30+ years in the IT industry.

A late in life lover of adventure, I learned to ride a motorcycle at age 55, traveled the US solo on my Harley-Davidson at age 58 (42 states and 27k miles), sold my home and everything I owned to become a full-time RVer. I eventually met my current husband, also widowed, a full-time RVer and Harley rider. Fate!

We traveled the US for several years before putting it all in storage and moved to Cuenca, Ecuador for two years. What at adventure! Now we are back in the US and split our time between our home in Tennessee and traveling in our 41′ fifth wheel toy hauler trailer.

Sophie and Max Go Tumbling in Spacetime Again by Antoinette Corum  

About Sophie and Max Go Tumbling in Spacetime Again by Antoinette Corum

In the second book of the series, Sophie the Siamese continues her quest to regain her human life as Olivia Jordan, a university research scientist. At first Max, a mixed breed mutt, agrees to help the cat just to get her out of his life. Later, he realizes that Sophie is the victim of a terrible injustice. Through the use of magic chants and bewitched crystals they travel through space and time.
On their first trip into another dimension, Sophie and Max are amazed to find themselves transformed into humans. As you might expect, Sophie is thrilled, but Max is frightened and puzzled. He wants nothing more to do with Sophie’s harebrained schemes. But when Angelo Cavaliere, owner of the White Knight Bookstore, buys another tattered alchemy book from the young homeless man, Sophie is more determined than ever to control the power of the crystal and recover her former life.
Angelo Cavaliere, Madame Giselle, and Linus Archimedes, 900-year-old alchemist and wizard extraordinaire, return for more hi-jinks and misadventures. Garon, the wizard’s apprentice, creates unexpected chaos when he is transformed from boy to dog on a return trip with Sophie and Max. And, like a bad penny, Olivia’s evil boss, turns up in their lives again after Max had sent him into the unknown. With the help of Linus Archer (the wizard’s alter ego in their reality), Sophie and Max accomplish small victories while creating bedlam.
Reluctant allies in the beginning, Max the mutt and Sophie the Siamese become traveling companions on the road to friendship. Through their escapades in space and time, they learn to accept each others strengths and weaknesses because that’s what friends do.

Sophie and Max Search for the Philosopher’s Stone by Antoinette Corum  

About Sophie and Max Search for the Philosopher’s Stone by Antoinette Corum

In the third book of the series, Sophie the Siamese and Max the mutt return for more spacetime adventures. Risking the perils of mixing magic and science, Sophie continues to look for a way to return to her human form as Olivia Jordan, university research scientist.
Initially, Max agreed to help Sophie simply to get rid of her. The cat had barged into a comfortable life that Max enjoyed with his master, and the dog wanted things to return to the way they were before she arrived.
However, through their escapades together, Sophie and Max become allies and loyal friends. With the use of magic chants and mystical crystals, they travel in space and time to another dimension where they are changed into their human counterparts. The temporary metamorphosis is exciting and encouraging for Sophie, but Max is unnerved and rattled by the experience.
The 900-year-old wizard, Linus Archimedes, and his alter ego, Linus Archer, are back along with Madame Giselle, Angelo Cavaliere and his grandchildren, Rosemary and Joey. The evil Edgar Cavendish remains a problem to eradicate as he threatens to claim Sophie’s research for himself. Two new characters, Raymond Blackstone, a Navajo with a connection to the four sacred mountains, and Julius Magogrande, an oddly-dressed stranger with a mysterious background, also play an important role in Sophie’s persistent search for a way back to her former life as a human.
It soon becomes apparent that Julius Magogrande poses a grave danger. He is on a quest of his own to find the illusive Philosopher’s Stone, the source of everlasting life. He will stop at nothing to get it, even if it means kidnapping Madame Giselle, Rosemary and Joey. However, the sinister stranger’s search for eternal life and Sophie’s desire to return to her human form reach a crossroad in a Navajo sacred mountain cave. Sophie is faced with a critical decision when she is given the opportunity to return to her human form permanently.

Bloody Green  

About Bloody Green

It’s hard when painting is all you want to do in your life, but you can’t tell the red from the green color and everyone think that you are not suited to become a painter; that you are just not meant to be.
However, it’s even harder to lose your parents and then comes war, destruction, scarcity, poverty and moral collapse of the society.
Still, the hardest thing in life is when you become a victim of the sexual assault and he, who did it, is never to be found.
At first, you lose faith in people, then you start to blame yourself and, in the end, you find your salvation in religion, and you think – If only I could paint the perfect Crucifixion, I might be forgiven.
Year after year you spend every moment of your bloody life focused and dedicated to a single painting and after years and years of unsuccessful pursuit for the holy grail, you find HIM, in a model who is posing on your cross, in high religious official, and before all, your friend!
Suddenly, all colors become visible and everything becomes bloody green.
