A Measure of Happiness by Andra Dill  

About A Measure of Happiness by Andra Dill

In a single night, Mariette Rossard lost everything—her mother, her childhood, and her mortal life.
When the opportunity arises for a fresh start in the New World, she leaves France without a backward glance. Soon strange tales, involving other Casket Girl brides, follow her into the wilds of colonial Louisiana. Mindful of a woman’s precarious reputation—and the speed of gossip—she heeds every whisper involving blood-thirsty vampires. All the rumors pale in comparison to a neighbor’s accusation—that she practices witchcraft.
Mariette won’t lose all she holds dear a second time.

Wicked Rich  

About Wicked Rich

Hate me all you want, ’cause loving me might just be harder.
No one is standing in my way of being the first to graduate from an Ivy League school.
Especially not my flaming-hot first love.
With his golden blond hair, tanned skin, sparkling blue eyes, and surfer’s body, every girl wants him and every guy wants to be him.
It doesn’t hurt that he has a boatload of money backing him up or that his family name is on the gym at our college.
When we meet again, there’s nothing left of the boy I used to know in the man he’s become.
He looks at me like I’m the enemy and I know I am because, once upon a time, I broke his heart.
Now, he’s out for revenge and he won’t stop until he gets it.
Bring it, wicked rich bad boy.
Bring it.

Unfortunately, her mother has other plans for Glynnis’s dating life. Enter Daniel. Outwardly, he’s smart, charming, and successful—the kind of guy any girl would be lucky to call her own. Or so he leads others to believe…

Leonie is the only one of her kind, and she needs to find out why.

He wore many hats including; Security Officer, Police Officer, Park Ranger and finally as a Petty Officer in the Royal Australian Navy for 18 years (sadly, his role-playing stopped there for too long).

As a Navy Veteran, his retirement has provided the opportunity to write, roleplay, draw and potter to his heart’s content.

Black & White by Erol Rashit  

About Black & White by Erol Rashit

Special promotion: August 18 to 20, 2021.

Confronting racism, transcending duality: Black & White is a metaphysical Western, set in modern times and incorporating more than a touch of the East.

A young white man, Igor, adopts as his mother a middle aged black woman, Sylvia, after meeting her in a café, each having come from the nearby cemetery. The deeper he delves into the death of Sylvia’s son, the more embroiled Igor becomes in the activities of Los Angeles gangsters, and the more he becomes the focus of a police investigation himself. If this were an old Western movie, the heroes and villains might almost be wearing white and black hats respectively. Then again, the hats could be misleading: Igor’s appetite for polyamorous relationships is not exactly respectable; nor is his willingness to match the brutality of those he seeks to outwit as he immerses himself within a tangled web of deception and violence.

‘He who sees inaction in action, and action in inaction, he is wise among men.’
—Bhagavad Gita IV, 18

Author Bio:
Erol Rashit was born in London. He studied ecology at the University of Liverpool and obtained a PhD from the University of London for research into the effects of environmental fluctuations on species diversity. During a period as a photographic artist, he had several one-man shows, but these generated little in the way of income. Eventually, he resorted to paid employment, qualified as an accountant and for several years held the post of Chief Accountant at Imperial College. Having made enough money to fund his future (modest) requirements, he withdrew from the ‘rat race’ in his mid-forties in order to concentrate on his main interest: techniques for examining the illusion of ‘the ghost in the machine’ and for tracing consciousness back to its true source.

Author Bio:
No one knows better about the difficulties of stepping up to the plate and facing your batting demons like the author.

Having struggled at the plate in his own playing time is what prompted Roy Lingster to write this book. Twenty-five years in the game as a player and coach included a trip to the Little League World Series in 2007. It also included a season where he experienced his worst year at the plate ending with a .180 batting average. Haunted by that performance going into a new season, he knew he needed to make some kind of adjustment not to repeat that. He was unwilling to accept the idea that his talents suddenly disappeared. He set about breaking down the elements of how to achieve success at the dish. The effort to get his mind back on his game let him beat the setback and excel.

The students of the game are the teachers for the talent of tomorrow. Roy learned to put that miserable .180 season behind with determination to take responsibility for his turn at the plate. He is here to teach you about hitting and to help you learn through the valuable lessons he fought to find. You have to look no further than this book to improve your performance. You'll hear about all the possibilities you have to improve your approach with specific calls to action that let you know what steps to take and how to apply what you learn. When you are done, you will recognize how to help people around you and become the teacher yourself.

While the batter may be alone while he stands at the dish, he isn't alone in his pursuit of becoming an excellent batsman. Now it is your turn to step up, improve your performance, and become a true student of the game.



All Is Not LOST  

About All Is Not LOST

All Is Not LOST is the story of what happened when one woman set aside a lifelong dream in favor of her kids, only to find herself battling her own ego and unfulfilled ambition. Shannon Kenny Carbonell — wife of actor Nestor Carbonell of LOST, Bates Motel, and The Morning Show fame — knew she was making the better choice for her, no matter how painful, when she decided on full-time motherhood over career. Little did Shannon know she would soon find herself desperate to feed the part of her that was suddenly starved of creativity and accomplishment.

When she found out her family would be relocating to Oahu, Hawaii, while Nestor shot LOST, Shannon helped uproot their lives with as much true love and support as she could muster, thinking, ”I’ll just have to be lost in the midst of LOST.” But not long after the move, a torturous family fight revealed the burden of her loss was also weighing upon those closest to her. Just like the LOST survivors, she had crashed on an island that would test her, heal her, and surround her with the people who would eventually show her the way home.

With a no-holds-barred honesty that is raw, sometimes heartbreaking, and often hysterical, former working actress Shannon Kenny Carbonell tells her tale of attempting to reconcile her growing feelings of failure and sudden loss of her identity. This is her journey.

She then transitioned into television guest star roles, one of her favorites being Allison, George’s girlfriend, on NBC’s Seinfeld.

Shannon was cast in series regular roles on TV shows and, if she fails to rank the show, Muscle, as her best experience, she’d risk offending her wonderful husband Nestor; it was on this show that the two of them defied producers’ orders not to date other cast members.

Shannon lives in Los Angeles with her husband Nestor, their two sons Rafa and Marco, and their dog Donna Borrelli Carbonell.

All in Not LOST is her first book.

Author Bio:
I began my writing career in the 4th grade when the class was given its first-ever Creative Writing assignment. I put pencil to paper and was instantly transported to a place I knew that I would never want to leave. I have been publishing my works since 7th grade.

Early influences were Stephen King, Mary Higgins Clark, Harold Robins, Jacqueline Susan and VC Andrews. As such, my works tend to be a grand mash-up of drama, horror, suspense, action, intrigue, and, of course, intimate relations.

My stories are filled with secrets, lust, betrayal, and sometimes rage, they may keep you awake into the wee hours of the morning cheering, weeping, and captured by suspense as our heroes and heroines have their love tested by demons who reside within and without.

In my spare time I enjoy gardening and photography as well as cooking and baking. I also enjoy helping other authors bring their works to the world stage.

A Match Made In Spell  

About A Match Made In Spell

What good is a witch with no magic?

I’m Lexi Balefire and I wear a lot of hats, but none of them are tall and pointy. I spend half my time making love matches that last forever, and the other half trying to keep my faerie godmothers from turning each other into toads. Or worse.

I come from a long line of witches, some of them wicked, but none of that will matter if my magic doesn’t awaken before midnight on my next birthday. If I miss that deadline, I’ll never be a true witch.

If my mother and grandmother hadn’t used their magic to kill each other, one of them might have been able to give me the keys to the mystery and I’d be one step closer to claiming my Fate Weaver heritage.

Now, I guess I’ll have to figure it out on my own.

The Fate Weaver series featuring the enchanting Lexi Balefire, matchmaking witch, has elements of mystery, romance, and the supernatural. It’s an urban fantasy with lots of humor and a cozy mystery feel.
