Don’t Forget To Remember… by Colleen K. Buchanan  

About Don’t Forget To Remember… by Colleen K. Buchanan

In Don’t Forget to Remember…Who You Truly Are, Colleen K Buchanan (Lee) grapples with her past while coping with her present during the worst pandemic in a century. In her brave and radically honest memoir, she shares her journey to loving and accepting herself, having struggled for years with past abuse, feelings of abandonment, and societal perceptions of race.

This is not the typical self-help book; Lee doesn’t give easy, prescriptive advice. However, by chronicling moving, relatable, and deeply personal events, she exemplifies the gradual and very individual process of emotional and spiritual healing.

Author Bio:
My name is Colleen K. Buchanan, but I go by Lee. I recently published my Memoir “Don’t Forget To Remember…” detailing my experiences of being a black baby adopted into an all-white family and all-white environment, as well as other traumatic events throughout my life.

Recently, Dr. Bruce Perry, MD, PhD, and Oprah Winfrey published their book “What Happened to You? Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, And Healing”.

It wasn’t until I was 48 years old that I found the courage and strength to stop living a life of lies and unhappiness. I decided to understand why I didn’t love myself, but more importantly, why I’d never been shown unconditional love. I went on an incredible journey of self-discovery and realized I am perfect, whole and complete. I am enough.
It’s an extremely challenging and difficult process to be with all of your Self, but whatever happened to you, doesn’t mean you’re unloveable. The love you seek, is within you and you alone.

I hope you can find the strength within you to be heard too. It’s never too late to fall in love with the incredible, powerful, beautiful person that you truly are!

Believe in your SELF!

Streaming James  

About Streaming James

Streaming James is the second book in the Streaming Souls Mystery Series. After a failed suicide, homicide detective Katie Hanson has a rare advantage over most other homicide detectives. She can channel the dead and see through dimensions into a parallel world.

As she’s coming to terms with her new skills, she uses them to solve the cold case murder of Sarah Alexander and her two children. Stifled by the limits of her job as a public servant, Katie retires and opens Walk-In Investigations Third-Eye Detective Agency in partnership with her friend Vicki, a psychic.

Still navigating the waters of her evolving skills, Katie takes on the most personal case of her career. A case her detective father, a thirty-year veteran, could never solve before his own retirement. The horrific murder of philanthropist James Baxter. As Katie plunges into the twenty-year-old murder, her excitement turns to frustration. James rejects her attempts to channel, and her father is skeptical about using psychic abilities to solve crimes. Katie also has to come to terms with the losses in her own life that drove her to try to kill herself.

To understand why a spirit wouldn’t want his murder solved, she crosses into other dimensions and observes the powerful forces standing in her way. Katie delves deeper and exposes secrets in James’ family and recognizes the powerful bond between the victim and his murderer. Will Katie and her team be able to solve this cold case, or will her profound encounters in the hereafter cause her to let the killer go free?

Beneath the Dragon’s Triangle  

About Beneath the Dragon’s Triangle

If you could pound a stake through the heart of the Bermuda Triangle until it appeared on the opposite side of the Earth, you would be in the dreaded Dragon’s Triangle. What better place to hide a weapon of mass destruction?

A simple phone call from a friend at sea throws Andrea, a graduate of Yale University with a PhD in biomedical engineering, into a world of espionage and intrigue. Did her friend, a deep-sea diver working for a company repairing communication cables, really find a mysterious object buried one thousand feet below the ocean’s surface, and could it be of any importance? Why did this phone call from the billions made each day trigger a covert group, a remnant of Nazi Germany, to come out of the shadows to claim this object, and, like a virus, systematically destroy anyone who stands in its way of recovering what it lost so many years ago? The reputation of the Dragon’s Triangle for unexplained events is just beginning a new chapter.

An obvious neophyte in this deadly game where people are starting to disappear, Andrea has nowhere to turn. A chance encounter with a NYPD officer might strengthen her chance of survival. Sean is a retired Navy SEAL officer who teams up with Andrea only to find that they are both in over their heads. The enemy seems to have limitless power, and there is only one person Sean knows who can help them stay alive. He turns to Paul O, a man of great wealth who owns a company that builds ships and satellites for the U.S. government. A private war breaks out with Paul, Andrea, and Sean, pitted against an unknown, fanatical group that takes place in the air, on and beneath the sea, and on land. Will they survive, and if they do, how will it change them?

Three people from different walks of life meld into a tenacious team, never giving up when the chips are down and all seems lost. Who will be the first to sacrifice their life for the others, and does Andrea stay a victim, or does she become a force to reckon with that takes the strongest of men by surprise?

Nothing But a Dare  

About Nothing But a Dare

Nothing But a Dare is a second chance, enemies to lovers rom-com with a curvy, will punch you in the throat heroine, and a hero that will push every button she has for fun. Oh, and did I mention there’s a cat that wears turtleneck sweaters?

After what could possibly be the world’s worst morning, the last thing Abbie expected to see as she walked into her meeting was her childhood nemesis.

Hunter. Freaking. James.

The title of world’s worst morning now seemed like an understatement.

When Abbie walked into the conference room looking like a complete mess, and still killed her presentation, Hunter knew he’d made the right decision signing on with WCM Advertising. He was there for one reason, and one reason only. Abbie was going to be his, even if he had to dare her every step of the way.

Game on.

Anyway, when I was younger, to help myself fall asleep, I’d tell myself stories. Each night I’d pick up where the story left off previously until it was complete. Then I started writing them down. A few months later, here I am, sharing my lack of sleep with all of you. Who said the stories in our heads couldn’t be fun for others?



Behind The Lies – Crime Thrillers  

About Behind The Lies – Crime Thrillers

This book contains three fictional crime thrillers, each providing drama, suspense, mystery, and at times intense action. Follow along as the police investigate and attempt to unravel the murders in their communities.

In the first story, police must deal with a serial killer who has reappeared after a two-year absence to terrorize some of Chicago’s most crime-ridden neighborhoods. Frustrating police is the fact that the killer leaves a calling card at each murder scene and yet they are unable to determine who he is. Is he the mysterious man in dark clothing, the Snowman, or someone else? The police are in a race against time to find him before he strikes again.

In the second story, Wendy Spire is found murdered behind her high school in a small northern Michigan community. Who would want to kill a nice girl like Wendy? At the scene, one of Wendy’s shoes is missing and police find an engraved ring nearby. Was Wendy killed somewhere else? Is the ring significant to her murder? Her best friend tells the police Wendy had a secret admirer. Could this unknown person be the killer? The town’s only two detectives, Walker and Baker, must find the answers.

The final story takes place in beautiful Castle Rock, Colorado. Justin King and Naomi Cooper have been meeting for the last six months for rendezvous of fun and sex. Naomi dreams of a future life with Justin and he wants to make her dreams come true. There is only one problem. Naomi is married to Justin’s friend and business partner, Ryan Cooper. However, Justin has a plan. They need to kill Ryan. Will the plan work? Naomi is not sure she can go along with the plan, but someone is going to die. Will the police be able to sort it all out?

Author Bio:
I have worked in finance for over a decade now. If you struggle with your finances, it’s important to ask questions, have a willingness to learn, and take action toward your goals. I want to help millions of people get out of debt, but reaching them is the biggest challenge, which is why I have decided to put my efforts into a medium that is consumable by anyone. Growing up embarrassed about my mom’s food stamps gave me the drive to ensure my financial situation was not going to be anything like the multiple maxed credit cards my mom had. After graduating with my degree in mathematics, I jumped right into the financial services industry, working for a credit union. I learned so much working there, but there was a ceiling I had to break through. Many years later, having filled many positions for many companies across the industry, I felt it was time to take matters into my own hands. Thank you for taking the time to learn from me and my books.

 



Wonders In The Deep: A Tale of Healing  

About Wonders In The Deep: A Tale of Healing

Love. Loss. Hope. Heroism. Is there safe passage through the torrents and storms of life?

Wonders In the Deep is a dramatic illustration, an emotionally charged depiction of the elements that keep us human, fuel our spirit, and give us the courage to continue.

The life of eighteen-year-old Brandon Lawrence is one riddled with questions. Pained sore inside, he seeks answers that have been swallowed deeply by his own grandfather, whom he lovingly calls Pap. How did his parents and grandmother die? Why does his grandfather resent Natalie, Brandon’s best friend since childhood? Why is he forbidden to step foot on a boat, to ride the waves of the sea? Will he ever find answers?

Pap’s journals. Could they hold the secrets?

Set in the rocky and rugged coastline of Maine, the story uncovers Brandon’s world in the summer of 1998. The 1930s and 40s of his grandfather’s world are now over, along with the flat plains of a corn-belted Illinois town he had decided to leave as a young man. What had happened to cause a man to run from a life he couldn’t handle? What had turned Pap into a man withdrawn from life? A man holding tight to the secrets of his life.

Sitting alone on the same weathered dock Brandon had come to with Pap every Thursday growing up, he tries to piece together the puzzle of an unspoken life. Face to face with the only solution he knows, he must choose between honor and answers; an act of thievery plagues him hard, haunting and jolting his conscience. If his grandfather is too brokenhearted to speak of such things, could Brandon steal the answers he needs from the journals?

Wonders In the Deep is a soothing balm, medicine to a hurting and wounded soul. Faced with the harsh realities of grief and loss, two men embark on a great journey to find healing in the deep and uncertain oceans of life. As you journey with Brandon and Pap, you may identify with their struggles.

Is there true triumph over adversity? How far will one go for answers? How far will you go?
