   About Legends of Windemere: Beginning of a Hero by Charles E Yallowitz:

   Take a step into the magical world of Windemere where history is forged by brave adventurers.

   Luke Callindor was born into Windemere’s most decorated family of adventurers. Since his birth, he has been treated with the greatest amount of respect and awe. Now, with a lifetime of training and the reckless cockiness of youth, Luke has set out to prove that he deserves the admiration that comes from being a Callindor.

   Luke gets his chance when he convinces a royal messenger to hire him to protect the heir of Duke Solomon. This future leader is secretly attending Hamilton Military Academy, an esteemed school run by the former mercenary, Selenia Hamilton. It is a dangerous secret mission requiring that Luke pretend to be an average student while keeping an eye out for any sign of danger. Unfortunately, Luke has no idea which student the heir is and a demonic assassin is already several steps ahead of him. Finding himself in over his head and constantly in trouble, the young warrior realizes that the only things he has on his side are some new friends and his unwavering courage.

3. The Ghost of Calico Acres by Bonnie Turner

   About The Ghost of Calico Acres by Bonnie Turner:

   Haunting memories lurk in the dark corners of this mysterious walk from the past.

   When Dr. Marc St. Clair inherits his eccentric aunt Miriam’s old Victorian house in Wisconsin, her Will states that he and his invalid wife, Summer, must live in the house for one year before they can own it. Despite the fact that Calico Acres is rumored to be haunted, Marc accepts Miriam’s generous offer without telling Summer, who would prefer to remain at her parents’ comfortable estate in Iowa.

   Summer grew up the spoiled daughter of a Chemistry professor who’d stop at nothing to grant her every wish. Then along came Dr. Marc St. Clair with his special brand of hot chemistry, hoping to match the young woman’s own desires. But although he was educated in the art of healing human bodies, Marc finds he is lost when it comes to curing his wife’s emotions. After a disastrous honeymoon and a riding accident that left his beautiful wife confined to a wheelchair—bitter and full of self-pity—Marc knows that for their marriage to work, he must get her away from her family.

   Summer hates the “moldy gingerbread house” with eleven-foot ceilings and dark hallways when she arrives at Calico Acres with Marc and their elderly housekeeper, Josephina, on a cold, snowy day in January. She’s infuriated that her husband has brought her to an area of Wisconsin noted for ghostly hauntings, a place far from her doting parents.

   After a tour of the house, the women’s imaginations run wild: the ruins of an old, burned-out barn resemble “Stonehenge”; ghostly apparitions appear on a balcony, an upstairs storage room is so creepy they sense something sinister. It’s a good thing Summer doesn’t know there’s a family cemetery on the property—if she met Aunt Miriam’s ghost face to face while confined to her wheelchair, she’d probably die of fright!

   As unexplained events occur throughout the year, even their gossipy neighbors try to make them leave. But Marc is determined to stay. He made a deal, and he desperately wants the house. He feels a strong connection with his late aunt, although he had never met the woman and his family never discussed her except to say she was crazy.

   When Marc hires Raven Bear as his wife’s therapist—a Chippewa girl who arrives one day on a black stallion—every aspect of his life is thrown into turmoil. Raven is certainly competent at her profession, as well as having an innate talent with horses. The young woman is full of mystery … and desire for Dr. Marc. Frustrated beyond belief by Summer’s frigidity, Marc’s attraction to Raven is unnerving and exasperating as she wastes no time trying to entice him into her bed.

   As Marc struggles with his physical urges, he searches the house for details of Miriam’s life, while his wife is forced to confront certain issues from her own past. Marc tries to resist Raven’s advances as she literally throws herself at him, and he blows up when she washes her personal laundry in his bathroom and dries her underwear on the shower rod. She’s entirely too tempting, this attractive female who can’t keep her hands to herself.

   Marc St. Clair must find answers to their problems before the year is up, or risk losing the house and the woman he loves. Little does he realize how close he is to losing both.

   Author Bio:
   I’m a Scorpio witch, born one spooky Halloween night in Independence, Missouri, at the height of the Great Depression. As you can tell from the title of this book, I love ghost stories. I’ll read almost anything as long as it’s not violent or gory.

   My first published book was a children’s novel set in the Arctic, The Haunted Igloo (1991, Houghton Mifflin, Boston). Some of my favorite authors are Mark Twain, James A. Michener, poets Robert Service and Edgar A. Guest, O.E. Rolvaag, Jack London, Frances Parkinson Keyes, and Thomas Tryon. My favorite books include such classics as Giants in the Earth (O.E. Rolvaag), Steamboat Gothic (Keyes), Chesapeake (Michener), The Odyssey of Homer, Harvest Home (Tom Tryon), and of course the famed Dick and Jane readers that taught me to read when I was six years old.

   Self-educated beyond high school, I taught myself to write through trial and error. Today I’m a pretty good editor and proofreader. My interests are many and varied: astronomy, astrology, geography, geology, science, history, yoga, philosophy, psychology, metaphysics and parapsychology. I am a jack-of-all-trades, a Mensa *almost*, a classical music and jazz fusion aficionado. My favorite guitarist/composer is Al Di Meola, of the famous “Return to Forever” Jazz-Rock-Fusion group in the 1970s–the band featured the leader, Chick Corea, Lenny White (drums), Al Di (blazing guitar), and Stanley Clarke (awesome electric bass). I’m interested in spiritual healing, and practice transcendental meditation when I have time.

   I’m a grandmother/great-grandmother and currently live in Wisconsin with a feisty tortoiseshell cat named Jazzbaby (which is the title of a book that’s been simmering in my subconscious for about twenty years). Someday. . . .
