1. Jonestown: A Novel by Ryan Roy

   About Jonestown: A Novel by Ryan Roy:

   September, 1978 — two months before the massacre:

   Neil Clark has seen the warning signs. He’s heard the testimony of those who have defected from the Peoples Temple commune in Guyana, and he knows what’s coming. It haunts him. It cripples him with panic attacks. He can’t sleep at night because his ten-year-old son, David, is stuck in Jonestown—one of many people held captive in the regime of a maniacal reverend. Neil’s only hope is to execute a plan to get his son out of Jonestown before time runs out.

   Jonestown is a work of historical fiction that weaves a thrilling plot through a highly recognizable moment of American history. The story takes place in the two months leading up to the infamous tragedy. Meticulously researched and vividly detailed, the novel allows readers to glimpse the sadistic governance of the Peoples Temple, and it carries them along the treacherous path of the American congressional delegation whose inspection of Jonestown in November of 1978 led to the macabre, shocking climax.

5. The Soulmate Suppers

   About The Soulmate Suppers:

   Have you ever wondered what true and lasting love looks like? Do you want to know what makes real-life soulmate couples tick? We all want the kind of love we see in fairy tales, but we wonder if it is even possible.

   When Andrea Cyr first started consultations with her new homeopath in 2010, the topic of true and resonant love immediately rose to the surface. Andrea had been in a string of unhealthy and emotionally abusive relationships and had all but given up hope on finding lasting romance. As she made it clear that soulmate love was her number one priority, Andrea was encouraged to spend time in the company of couples who share such a love so she could see that, in spite of her past experiences, the condition exists and is attainable.

   Being in romantic love is an intrinsic part of our health and well-being. As a part of her own journey to complete health, Andrea interviewed 8 couples to show what makes ordinary folks’ relationships zing with long-term love and passion.

   The result is “The Soulmate Suppers”, a beautiful, solid map of love, romance, resonance, and grace. It’s proof that soulmate love is alive and well and living here on planet Earth! In its pages, Andrea shares stories of struggle, joy, love and perseverance to help us all see what it takes to create and maintain that enduring enchantment.

   “The Soulmate Suppers” is a candid, humorous, and insightful take on love, allowing you to peer into the hidden dynamics of how common couples keep their uncommon magic alive.

   Author Bio:
   I’m a lover and a dreamer. More of a be-er than a do-er. Small-scale, peace-lovin’ hippie. Slightly crazy cat lady … I say slightly because “crazy cat lady” is directly determined by the ratio of the number of cats you own to the square footage of your living space. Two cats : 745sqft. I’m on the cusp.

   You know the old saying, “been there, done that”? I’m reasonably sure that was written about me. If you were to compose a chronological list of everything I’ve done, you could create 5 completely different resumes which would appear to be for 5 completely different people. I have done everything from driving the lunch truck and selling vacuum cleaners door-to-door, to owning my own business and anchoring the 6 o’clock news. And those are just the things I’ve done professionally. Just for fun, I took up figure skating at 21, marathon running at 31, body building at 34, painting at 36 and acting at 38. It’s been a wild ride so far, and I’m just getting started!

   I love, love. All kinds of love. Romantic love. Platonic love. Universal love. Love of friends. Love of family. Love of nature and animals and our beautiful planet. What could be more perfect than pure, unconditional, enchanted love? Learning about love, talking about love, sharing love; that’s what I’m all about.

   Should this biography be in third person? People say that makes it sound more professional, but nothing about me is professional.

   I am 23-years-old, I don’t fold my clothes and I have to purchase new socks every month because my dryer is a thief. The only thing I think about while writing a book is, “Will this entertain people?”

   That’s it. I will not publish a book if I don’t believe people will be entertained by it.

10. Einstein’s Secret

    About Einstein’s Secret:

    It’s 1955, and Albert Einstein lies in a hospital bed, deathly ill. He suddenly stirs, asks his assistant for paper and pen, then scribbles something down. Minutes later, he dies.

    History tells us that Einstein jotted down equations that night. But struggling scholar Jacob Morgan believes that history is wrong. He’s convinced that Einstein wrote a deathbed confession that night—a secret that the great scientist didn’t want to take to his grave.

    Jacob has spent his entire adult life obsessively hunting down that secret—with nothing to show for it but the scorn of his colleagues and the tattered remnants of a once-promising teaching career.

    But now, thanks to a lucky break, Jacob has a chance to get his life back on track. His appointment as an adjunct professor at the University of Virginia is a fresh start, and he’s vowed to end his pursuit of Einstein’s secret.

    Until history chooses this moment to deliver him one more clue. A clue that leads him to an impossible and unbelievable discovery:

    Time travel.

    And so begins the last leg of Jacob’s desperate quest, one where history is not only changeable—it’s changing. All by itself. And if Jacob doesn’t rescue Einstein’s secret, everything that he’s ever known will disappear forever.

11. Wolf Eye Sly by Terri Lyndie

    About Wolf Eye Sly by Terri Lyndie:

    Did someone whisper buried treasure? Secrets were taken to the lighthouse keeper’s grave, literally; but no one thinks to search the cemetery. Wolf Eye, a small town in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, is full of eccentric characters playing con games, and there’s a lot more at stake than just a real estate deal.

    For Annie Matthews, growing up as the lighthouse keeper’s granddaughter meant she was bullied and teased in school. Her grandfather’s long-running feud with Wolf Eye’s wealthiest citizen made him the town laughing stock.

    As an adult, Annie is forced to return to Wolf Eye to settle her grandfather’s affairs, but finds herself pulled into old politics. In an ironic turn of events, she poses as fiancée to Jamie Lord, the handsome heir of her grandfather’s fiercest enemy. Jamie is a charismatic charmer, but can he be trusted?

    Jamie rescues Annie with flair; whether it’s a cabin fire, a band of thieving raccoons, or a heckling mob at Lillie’s Café. From their first kiss Annie’s pulse is dancing the Rumba.

    The lines of their sham engagement blur, but happiness is short-lived. Enemies throw a surprise wedding and everyone in town shows up. Everyone, that is, except the groom. Annie flees Wolf Eye, but the story isn’t over, for she has some tricks of her own to be played.

    WOLF EYE SLY is a contemporary romance with laugh out loud plot twists along the journey to happily ever after.

    Excerpt

    He stepped closer. “Another thing we should work on is kissing.”

    “Kissing?” Annie raised one eyebrow.

    “Yes, kissing,” Jamie insisted knowingly. “We need to make it convincing.

    The occasion will arise when folks will insist they want to see us kiss.”

    “Considering this town, you are probably right.” She frowned.

    “I think we should practice to make sure we get it right. We want to look like we are comfortable with it,” he said.

    “I don’t need to practice. I know how to kiss,” she assured him. She felt a blush creeping across her cheeks.

    “I am sure you know how. As do I. But we don’t know how we will kiss each other,” he pointed out.

    “What difference does it make?” She cast him a doubtful glance.

    “It makes the difference between being comfortably convincing or nailed as frauds.” His eyes twinkled as he drew her closer.

    “I don’t think practicing is necessary. We’ll pull it off when the time comes.

    I know your style. I saw you kissing just last night, remember?” She stepped

    back nervously as she remembered Francine Stouffer gyrating in Jamie’s arms.

    His eyes narrowed. “That wasn’t kissing. I was caught off guard. I wasn’t even participating.”

    She smirked. “It looked like kissing to me.”

    I’ll show you the difference,” he notified her in a dangerous tone. He caught her in his arms and pulled her against his chest, intending to kiss the smirk from her lips……

    Reunited briefly with his father, who died when Jay, a hapless 14-year-old, unable to save him after a canoe accident, Jay is introduced to his afterlife therapist Alice, who will help ease Jay into a life of being dead. Death isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

    Jay visits his grieving wife Maya and watches helplessly as his seven-year-old son Calder seems bent on joining his dad through hapless skateboarding accidents. Jay longs to ease their pain and tell them how much he loves them.

    When Maya hires Liz, a lesbian psychic, Jay’s excited to finally give his wife his message of love. Instead, he learns her terrible secret and in anger and jealousy, leads her toward an ill-fated romance with a narcissistic, sexually deviant player she believes is “heaven sent” from Jay himself.

    Maya’s grief becomes more complicated in the aftermath of another loss, and Calder’s alarming behavior prompts Jay to find a way to set them both free or risk the well-being of them all. Confronted with the decision to either follow his mortal instincts or help his wife find new love, Jay must learn to transcend everything he ever was.

15. Desolation Run by James Snyder

    About Desolation Run by James Snyder:

    70-something Oreny “Big” Johnson has a problem. Actually, he has two. Or maybe three. The first is that he’ll be dead from cancer, less than a year, which doesn’t particularly concern him: “Things I’ve been through, dying is just one more page in a long bad book.” But spending his last living days, taking his last living breath, behind steel bars does. That’s the second problem: Inmate #78903 in the notorious level-four Washington State prison known as Horseneck Bay.

    Then there’s the money. Two million dollars of stolen military payroll, supposedly buried in some remote and mysterious south-Texas mountain range called Los Despoblados, or The Uninhabited, which sounds to Oreny like one of those places his Mama Maybell always told him to avoid. But he’ll worry about that later. He has to get there first. Problem number three.

    That’s when he brings those two smoldering dynamite sticks he’s attached himself to–his Luke-boy and Jaime–on board to help his tired old body break out of Horseneck and go dig up that money and then hightail it across the border into Mexico. And when they do break out, and Luke decides to bring his girlfriend Lauren along, and her enraged ex comes after them, and then the manhunt starts multiplying faster around them than those cancer cells inside him, Oreny still thinks he can control them. The problems, that is. At least, until Cade arrives.

    Cade, the prison investigator Oreny knows is dangerous and unpredictable as a six-foot-two wolverine on eight gallons of adrenalin gone bad. And who won’t stop until he catches them and does to them what Cade does best.

    Cade, Oreny knows better than anything else, is their biggest problem of all.

    I write, I read, I kayak, sometimes all at the same time. Honest cowboy. I own an Outback, so I’m able to multitask. I should forewarn you. DESOLATION RUN is not a book for the faint of heart. It’s not a comfy read, as one reviewer said. So if you prefer cozy mysteries, this may put you way out of your comfort zone. But that’s the way I wrote the damn thing.

16. Flankman (A Crow Creek Novel) by Nya Rawlyns

    About Flankman (A Crow Creek Novel) by Nya Rawlyns:

    Genre: M/M contemporary romance, western

    The bronc in the arena can kill, but it takes a man to destroy…

    Daniel Blake and Tristan Wells are committed to their two-year relationship, and to keeping it a well-hidden secret. When a competitor lets them know their secret isn’t so well-hidden after all, the ground isn’t the only thing that comes up to hit hard. Danny’s facing scrutiny from rodeo management for alleged misconduct, and Tristan thinks that Ben Kincaid from Crow Creek Ranch is just the man to help ferret out who has it in for them. Wyoming isn’t known for being tolerant of “alternative lifestyles” and men who take on broncs and bulls for a living aren’t strangers to playing rough, in and out of the arena.

    With their future on the line, Tristan and Danny’s relationship will be tested by those out to see an eight-second ride turn into a world of failure. Ben’s determined to have his new friends’ backs, in more ways than one. Even if they survive the spills and attacks, will Danny and Tris’s future survive Ben?

    Crossing boundaries, taking no prisoners. Write what’s in your soul.

    It’s the bass beat, the heartbeat, the lyrics rude and true.

    Nya Rawlyns cut her teeth on sports-themed romantic comedies and historical romances before finding her true calling in the wilderness areas she has visited but calls “home” in that place that counts the most: the heart.

    She has lived in the country and on a sailboat on the Chesapeake Bay, earned more than 1000 miles in competitive trail and endurance racing, taught Political Science to unwilling freshmen, and found an avocation in materials science.

    When she isn’t tending to her garden or the horses, the cats, or three pervert parakeets, she can be found day dreaming and listening to the voices in her head.

17. Queen Rider by Alan Davidson

    About Queen Rider by Alan Davidson:

    FREE for 2 days only – May 16th & 17th

    Bonnie Wyndham gets on well with horses but not so well with teachers. The truth is she’s a terrible show-off and loves breaking all the rules. No wonder she gets expelled from school after school.
    When her despairing mother deposits her at Almonside School, relieved that Bonnie’s prowess as a rider is the only thing that has persuaded them to accept her, Mrs Wyndham fervently hopes that the fact that Almonside specializes in horse-riding could make all the difference this time.

    Bonnie, of course, has other ideas…..but is she riding for a fall?

    “The momentum starts to build from the very first page and never flags at all..highly recommended” – REVIEWSHEET

    Alan Davidson has written numerous books for young people and his plots are never run-of-the-mill — typically Queen Rider offers far more than the conventional horse story, providing not only nail-biting riding sequences but psychological insights. A lovely, thought-provoking book and one with an unexpected but satisfying ending.

18. Get Your Hand Out of My Purse! I’m Not Giving You My Money!

    About Get Your Hand Out of My Purse! I’m Not Giving You My Money!:

    This book was inspired by the stories of many women who I have met over the years. It is about their challenges, failures, and successes. Their moving stories motivated me to write this book to help other women understand how every choice they make can either help or destroy their retirement. Learn from their inspiring and heartbreaking stories. I know they will want any woman who reads this book to be aware of the “wolves” that can, in the blink of an eye, wipe away hopes and dreams of her retirement. Discover the secrets to personal empowerment and what you need to know to find your own yellow brick road to financial inner peace.

    This book will help you understand the complicated relationship between you as a woman, your money, and your financial professional. Many women go through life with the illusion that their future is secure just because they set aside money for retirement and have a financial advisor who they believe has their best interest in mind. Many women don’t ask the right questions, don’t demand the right answers, and are routinely pushed away from being involved in the most important dream of their life… their own happily-ever-after.
