About Her Last Love by H.C. Bentley

She left for the military thinking she would have it all. The career, the man she loved, a family of her own. Then her fiancé issued an ultimatum: come home and marry him, or lose him forever.

Eight years later, Lieutenant Lynn Johnston returns to her small Kentucky hometown with a secret to keep and a desire to find peace. Her planned lifelong career had been cut short by events beyond her control. Now, she hoped that she could forge a new path, one that would heal her heart and help to put her past behind her. Those hopes are dashed when she discovers Carter Mathis, her former fiancé, has also returned and is raising his two young sons.

Lynn must decide if she can deal with not only the old hurt feelings from the past — and Carter’s soon-to-be ex who has a vendetta against Lynn– to give Carter a second chance. A deadly collapse at the coal mines where Carter works, an accident that rocks the town, could possibly take the choice out of her hands. Does she confront her feelings and move forward, or leave the life she’s always wanted behind?

About Love and Bravery by Suanne Laqueur

From the award-winning author of The Fish Tales and the Venery series comes sixteen short stories that are smart and softly hardcore.

If a novel is a banquet, Laqueur’s anthology is a tapas course. Literal love bites that that focus on isolated moments in time. Microfiction that captures the middle of the action without worrying much where things started or where they’ll end up. Each vignette touches on the notion of bravery. Because love is always worth the risk.

From a joyful retiree in Bali to a terrified journalist in Syria, Laqueur explores erotic courage. A blind date in Manhattan. A secret crush in Canada. An ancient aphrodisiac in St. Lucia. A Brazilian street block during Carnavale. A box seat at the Paris Opera. A train ride with a lover, or a stranger. A swim with dolphins. A challenge accepted.

How far will you go for your heart’s desire? How passionate a chance will you take?

About The 4 Facets of Grief: Heal Your Heart, Rebuild Your World, and Find New Pathways to Joy by Ruth E. Field

Are you wondering how to go on after the death of someone you love?
Do you wish you felt confident about grieving and knew healthy coping options?
Are you longing for healing, peace, and a new sense of order in your world?

Written by a licensed clinical social worker who is also a bereaved mother, the book presents a unique system of coping with death that combines insights from both her professional background and personal experience. This approach builds grief resilience and transforms the reader from heartache to healing, wellness, and growth.

Losing someone you love can be a devastating experience. It is often excruciatingly painful and hard to wrap your mind around. Trying to take in the reality of death and then figuring out how to move forward can leave you overwhelmed, shattered, heartbroken, and frightened. And because it feels impossible to accept the unacceptable, we learn by osmosis to put misery on the back burner and pretend we’re mostly okay.

But we’re not okay; this is not business as usual. We’re left with that burning question:
“How do I go on?”

The 4 Facets of Grief is a fresh approach to navigating loss and death, incorporating the most current thinking on resilience and growth.

You will learn:
• Techniques for accepting the unacceptable
• Ways of rebuilding your world and reclaiming hope
• How to create meaning in difficult times
• Self-care routines to increase your energy, focus, and ability to relax

Each section includes descriptive stories that illustrate the concept and skill-building suggestions for the reader to practice.

By following the guidance in this book, you will:
• feel more resilient
• utilize better coping strategies
• create greater serenity than you ever thought possible
• notice improved relationships
• reintegrate peace and joy
• increase your self-confidence, realizing that you now have the tools to face adversity and create your own new reality

About The Metanoia Phases

Maria lived her life in harmony and peace, as Serendia’s princess. She had always known about her abilities and how to control them, but all that changed in the blink of an eye.

The tingling sensation appeared, spreading like wildfire within me. I was on fire, every inch of me was instantly burning. I wanted to crawl out of my body, just ripping off my skin to relief the burning…. That’s how it all began, my former life was completely changed, I was slipping away from the person I used to be.

The people I was supposed to trust and love the most, betrayed me. Who can you trust, when all they told you was a lie. The darkness was crawling inside my body because of what they did…

Betrayal and confusion was now a part of her life, everything slowly began to tremble underneath her as she discovered the truth. Her mind was a wreck, so was her heart.

Ancient abilities…. Love triangles…. Terrifying darkness….

Who can help her now?

We blurred the line between professional and personal.. triple-fold.

My son is number one.
My business is number two.
And number three – non-existent.
I don’t have time for anything else.

Love – not for me.
Sex – absolutely.
Relationships – hell no.

Well, I just happened to need a new secretary.

I couldn’t help being bad.
I had to have her.
Her beauty.
Her curves.
Her doe-green eyes.
Her innocence.

She was a forbidden temptation.
But I became the snake anyway, enjoying every damn second…

Until she got pregnant.

I told myself another marriage and kid were off the table.
Yet I was so drawn to Danielle.

Now, we’re at a crossroads.
One path is paved with obstacles;
The other offers me freedom.

Time to choose…

About Mabby the Squirrel’s Guide to Flying

There are only a few books representing Aspergers in children, especially stories that illustrate Asperger’s symptoms. Mabby The Squirrel’s Guide to Flying is an inspiring and encouraging story about high functioning autism in the metaphor of a city of flying squirrels, for the high functioning autistic child and parent, by an aspie who found a way. Because it’s about time.

On 16 Tadwick Way, Tankery Bough, in the treetop realm of Hesperia, there lived a little squirrel pup named Mabby, living alone with his father. He was having some trouble learning how to be a flying squirrel. But it seems his wings were a little different.

His friends vowed in secrecy to find out about the strange happenings in Hesperia. Syriss the Secret Keeper, was the rather annoying “leader.” Nevertheless, it turns out, someone is going around killing squirrels.

How could a little handful of misfit squirrel pups do anything about the dark shadows? And further, how can Mabby succeed in his pursuit of major airtime and general awesomeness, with such awful and annoying distractions, like conspiracy and murder?

Bruh.

School sucks. It sucks for squirrels, too.

Join Mabby, Dorma, Tufa, Deela, Syriss, and Bo on the appropriately awkward journey of learning how to use their wings, in,
