Summer’s Complaint, My family’s courageous, century-long struggle with a rare genetic cancer syndrome by Laura Kieger
About Summer’s Complaint, My family’s courageous, century-long struggle with a rare genetic cancer syndrome by Laura Kieger
Summer’s Complaint will be FREE from April 25th (National DNA Day) through April 29th.
Familial Adenomatous Polyposis, or FAP, accounts for roughly 1 percent of hereditary colorectal cancer and carries an extremely high lifetime risk of colon cancer and elevated risks for other exceedingly rare cancers. It is an autosomal dominant condition caused by germline mutations in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene. By the age of fifty, nearly 99 percent of untreated FAP patients will have developed cancer.
This is the dark shadow that has lingered over one family since at least 1911, when a matriarch was first seen at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota for symptoms that would become commonplace in her descendants. Three of her five children died in their thirties with what they’d come to call “summer’s complaint.” Her granddaughter, genetically programmed by a defect on her 5th chromosome also developed cancer, which would ultimately take her life.
This is that family’s sometimes tragic story. As told by a daughter, aunt, and sister who has been surrounded by its relentless destruction her entire life, Summer’s Complaint is at once a testament to the courage of those one family has lost and a journey toward understanding hereditary predispositions to disease and how best to combat them.

The Heart of Gold
Heart of Gold is a gripping romance thriller that explores not only the dangerous territory of love and marriage, but also the changing culture of modern Indian city life. Mukesh and Nithya are caught between time-honored traditions and the new, fast-paced global lifestyle.
Mukesh, a successful business man on a steady rise in the corporate world, is hesitant when his mother urges him to find a wife. But when she introduces him to the bride she’s chosen for him, Mukesh is surprised by his luck: Nithya is beautiful, smart, cultured, and from a good family. It seems like a perfect match, and he finds himself falling in love.
But before he can settle into his new married life, Nithya tells him the horrible truth: her parents blackmailed her into the marriage. Instead of love and companionship, it’s longing and agony for Mukesh while Nithya feels only anger and resentment towards him and her parents.
To make matters worse, Giridhar, a flame from Nithya’s past, unexpectedly makes his way back into her life. At first, Nithya is wary of her ex, but as she grows more and more distant from her husband and her parents, she finds herself letting him in. Giridhar convinces her to go away with him on vacation, where events take a dangerous turn. When she awakens, locked inside a lodge alone in the dead of night, to a strange noise at the door, she realizes that perhaps she shouldn’t have trusted him so blindly.
Meanwhile, Mukesh struggles to come to terms with his failed marriage and his wife’s abandonment. With no one else to turn to, Nithya calls him in her desperation, but will he be willing to help her despite his anger and wounded pride? Can they put the past behind them to disentangle her from the peril she put herself in?

The Unflappable Miss Fairchild by Regina Scott
About The Unflappable Miss Fairchild by Regina Scott
Free April 21 through 28!
From award-winning author Regina Scott comes a tale of choosing to follow the rules or be true to your heart.
The ever practical Anne Fairchild knows the rules of engagement in Regency England—the proper way a young lady should seek a husband. She’s been groomed to make the best match possible so she can help the two elderly aunts who raised her stave off poverty. So why is it one moment in the presence of the dashing Chas Prestwick, and she’s ready to throw propriety to the wind?
The black sheep of the family, Chas excels at shocking Society with his wild wagers and reckless carriage racing. But his bravado masks a bruised and lonely heart. Can the sweet-natured Anne convince him to take the greatest risk of all—on love?
“. . . very likeable hero and heroine, humor, and one laugh-out-loud scene that stars one of the most outstanding examples of ‘bad’ writing since the Bad Hemmingway contest folded.” — The Romance Reader
“Ms. Scott’s appealing characters will win your heart.” — RT Book Reviews

Eye of the Colossus
Some think the City of Jade Spires is a utopia. It very much isn’t.
Holly Drake is in prison for defending herself from a murderer. That’s the kind of corruption thriving in the city where evidence is destroyed and the innocent go to jail.
But everything’s about to change.
Someone exonerates Holly and she walks free. She has no idea who. Or why. But they have a job for her. Steal back the Eye of the Colossus, a priceless jewel. It’s about to be moved off-planet, and when that happens, the trail will go cold.
Out of prison with no other work on the horizon, the job is a gift. If only she knew how to pull off a heist. The clock is ticking. If she can assemble a team and pretend like she knows how to do this, maybe she can fake it long enough to do a job better suited to a master-thief. Why Holly? Who’s pulling her strings? And just how far across the moon system will she have to go to finish the job?
This is Holly Drake. Someone tried to kill her once. She survived. This time, she’ll conquer or die trying.

Away From Here: A Young Adult Novel
About Away From Here: A Young Adult Novel
The book is a semi-autobiographical story of the power of first loves, first losses, and coming of age while living with a mentally ill parent. It tells the story of 17 year old Logan—a self proclaimed ‘mixed up mixed kid’ who just began his senior year in high school. Lost at home, and a little too into comics for his own good, Logan leaves the Catholic high school he’s attended for years to return to his local public school. When he does he meets Annalise, a girl who is, in every way, a goddess. Little does he know how much Anna’s struggles mirror his own, and how much loving her will change him forever. Narrated by Logan as an adult looking back on his senior year of high school, ‘Away From Here’ captures the intensity of emotions, struggles, and complexities of being a teen.

Author Bio:
I believe that no author worth their salt is anything if not a dedicated, lifelong reader, and if you asked me I’d describe myself as a lover of books first, and a writer of books second. I grew up surrounded by them, and the love of a good story was instilled at an early age, and is something that excites me like nothing else. I’ve always written down my crazy ideas, since I was a small child, only now I do it with an editor and an Amazon page, and I’m beyond honored that anyone takes the time to read my words when they certainly don’t have to.

Wealth Unbroken
According to Rebecca Walser, tax attorney and financial strategist, conventional wealth building wisdom has been leading Americans astray for 40 years. In Wealth Unbroken, Rebecca explains how and why following the popular beliefs about long-term wealth building are keeping 96 out of 100 Americans from financial success in their retirement.
Wall Street and mediocre, fee-seeking financial advisors have fed half-truths to Americans for decades, ruining their lifetime pocketbooks for their own gain. In an easy to read, conversational style, Rebecca shows you how to be one of the few Americans who not only survives but thrives in the New Normal of changing Federal tax codes, Baby Boomer retirement and market volatility.
No matter where you are along the path of life’s journey, reading this book will change how you see things when it comes to creating, preserving, and transferring wealth.
