- Lavender Days: A life-affirming Anglo-American affaire in Provence by Robin Squire -
About Lavender Days: A life-affirming Anglo-American affaire in Provence by Robin Squire:It all started with an article he wrote for SHE magazine about his miserable experiences using dating agencies …
Lavender Days is inspired by a real diary, rediscovered by an Englishman in his dusty attic.
The diary transports him back twenty years, from a drab autumnal England in 2013, to an eventful hot summer in Provence with an American divorcée and her spirited young daughter.
He vividly recalls his romance with the American woman, the heady aroma of lavender in the summer air.
For two people approaching midlife, disappointed in love, here was a first date to end all dates.
The rather fusty older man reading the diary is startled by the sensual detail recorded by his younger self.
At the same time he is charmed and transported back to those dazzling days and star-drenched nights of warmth and easy intimacy.
However, she has an agenda.
Why was the rediscovery of those musty handwritten pages such a visceral
experience for him?
And why had he forced himself to forget?
Reviews
“This book makes you want to take the phone off the hook, light the fire, pour a glass of wine and tell everyone ‘not now, I’m reading’”
“It’s good! Really good! A compelling heart-warming story”
“Thanks Robin Squire. This charming little book raised my spirits, I love the English humor!”
“I could almost smell the lavender. My teenage daughter loved it as well.”
“It made me think about responsibility and those important life-changing decisions”
“I loved Lavender Days, perfect for commuting! I was completely wrapped up in it”
“I still don’t know whether to follow my head or my heart. Lavender Days made me realise other people struggle with this too.”
“Aaah… deliciously romantic, but not at all soppy. It feels very realistic too”

Goodreads Profile PageAuthor Bio:
I brought up my daughter as a single parent, which transformed me from being self-absorbed and insular by being the total supportive focus of another’s life. Being a freelance writer meant doing all sorts of diverse jobs to keep going, including a stint at BBC in London where played a monster in ‘Doctor Who’ (an Auton), the programme I was in is now regarded as a classic and I’ve attended autograph sessions for fans. Wrote and had published a book about a chaotic film I worked on as writer, during which I met a singer and began to vocalise with her in care homes for the elderly and infirm, which further opened me up to the needs of others, and also had the effect of helping me to lose my inhibiting shyness and learn how to perform in front of and address audiences. Always happy developing new ideas and characters for books and/or films. Recently wrote a novella based on some diary pages from 20 years ago I found in an attic. I believe in trying to be happy and that love really is all, however trite that might sound, that gentleness and consideration, not aggressiveness, are always more likely to win.To arrange interviews contact Greenwave Promotions joanna@greenwavepromotions.com

After her first heartbreak, Tori found solace in two things: reading romance novels and listening to an after-dark radio program called Lovers and Other Strangers. Throughout the summer and fall of 1990, the new kid in town found reading fiction and writing her own short stories gave her a much needed creative outlet. Determined to become a published author, Tori amassed stacks of notebooks and boxes of filed-away stories, most only half-finished before another idea would overtake her and demand to be written down. Then, while on parental leave with her second baby, one story formed and refused to be packed away. Between teaching full-time, parenting, and life in general, it would take almost seven years before the first novel in her first trilogy would be completed. In the process, Tori finally found her stride as a writer.At present, on her off-time, Tori not only enjoys reading, but also listening to an eclectic mix of music as she walks the family dog (Skittles), attempts to turn her thumb green, or makes needlework gifts for her friends and family members. She loves to travel, collect and make miniature furniture, and a good cup of tea during a thunderstorm or a blizzard. Under it all, she is always intrigued by history, the supernatural, vampire and shapeshifter mythology, romance, and other dangers.
Tori is currently working on Crystal and Wand: Book Three of The Talbot Trilogy. She lives in Kirkland Lake, Ontario, Canada with her husband and two children. She is a full-time teacher at a local high school.

- The Prince Charming Hoax by Elyse Grant -
About The Prince Charming Hoax by Elyse Grant:The Prince Charming Hoax is the steamy hot and often funny story of best friends Leah Gold and Roxanne Stein, two boomer women trying to break free of the “happily ever after” fairy tale myth of their childhoods.
Abandoned by her latest Prince Charming on the eve of what she expected to be the start of a new life, Leah is left without a home or a man. Frustrated by yet another disappointment in a string of romantic fiascos, she begins an introspective journey through her past for answers. When she discovers what really stands between her and happiness, she sets off on a mission to help spare other women the pain of looking for love in all the wrong places–even though her crusade may just be a battle that destroys her real prince.
In contrast to the reclusive Leah, her well-heeled best friend, Roxie, teeters on the edge of self-destruction as she tries to satisfy her unquenchable thirst for excitement. Drugs and sex don’t diminish her cravings, and the man she falls for, while charming, is no prince.
On a crazy trip from South Florida to Philadelphia and New York, the duo stumble onto how to save themselves, each other, and perhaps womankind–surprising everyone, especially themselves.

If you would like to find out more about me and my books then please visit my website at www.whenham.com or my Facebook page www.facebook.com/RuthWhenhamBooks. I am always keen to hear from readers.The big 40 was approaching and it was time to: take the plunge, make the leap, throw caution to the wind, follow one’s heart, do or die, prepare to fall flat on one’s face and most importantly, to stop thinking in idioms and begin. Okay, you get the point right? It was time to write. I knew that I had the ideas (loads of them) and I love to write in rhyme, so I began. One year later and I have published four children’s picture books. They are all fun-filled stories, combining mischief, great characters and interesting storylines. At least, that’s what I think (of course, why wouldn’t I?) I hope you will agree!
Here is a brief summary of my four titles to date:
My Crazy Purple Pen – about a crazy purple pen (funnily enough!) and a whole host of other fun characters who get caught up in the magic pen’s cheeky mischief.
The Day My Teacher Came to Tea – about a boy who’s mean teacher comes to tea, and the farce that ensues.
Birthday Cake Disaster – about a girl baking a cake with her dad, or at least trying to. It’s okay, the ending is a happy one, despite the title!
Captain Sillyvoice and his Pirate Band – about a gang of unusual but awesome pirates who find a way to have fun and become a swashbuckling success.
My first book, ‘My Crazy Purple Pen’ was inspired by a leaving gift from my work colleagues when I left the NHS; a very smart purple pen (surprisingly enough!) and writer’s notebook. I had taken the life-changing decision to leave the employ of the National Health Service to become a student again. The first time round I’d graduated in Human Psychology but this time I’d opted for Creative Writing. I have since completed this course and now enjoy dividing my time between writing new stories, marketing them (a necessary evil), volunteering at the Citizen’s Advice Bureau, being a mum to my two children and chewing the ear off (just couldn’t resist another idiom!) my long-suffering husband about anything and everything to do with children’s publishing.
Just a few days after leaving work, I sat down, opened up my notebook and began. Strangely enough, I didn’t have a plot in mind at the outset but everything seemed to flow almost by itself and by the end I was satisfied that I had included all the elements required for a good read; a character children could empathise with, humour at the expense of authority figures (which in my experience kids love), suspense and a small moral message thrown into the mix.
I found an illustrator, Emma Hunt, who was able to bring the story to life in just the way I had envisioned. She has a unique style which I thinks fits perfectly with the fun and modern tone of the book.
I collaborated again with Emma on my next book, ‘The Day My Teacher Came to Tea’. I wanted to write a farce style story for children. Those stories in which one small mishap leads to another and another until the whole situation has spiralled out of control, have always appealed to me. I hope children will delight in seeing the boy’s rather stern teacher becoming increasingly messy and bedraggled as the story unfolds. I like to add in a ‘spot the …..’ aspect to my stories. In this case there is a cheeky spider to be found.
My third book, a tale about a girl baking a cake with her Dad for her Mum’s birthday tea, is my husband’s favourite. I think this is probably due to the fact that it includes a recipe for pink party cake!
The latest addition to the Ruth Whenham book collection is a pirate adventure featuring a new character, Captain Sillyoice, and his unusual crew. The story, Captain Sillyvoice and his Pirate Band, is the first in a series of three books to be released over the coming months. Forthcoming titles are Captain Sillyvoice Takes to the Stage and Captain Sillyvoice and the Sea Monster. Watch this space…
Emma K. L Hunt has once again created the vibrant and amusing illustrations to accompany this fun-filled swashbuckling adventure; in which a gang of pirates learn how to be themselves and become successful on the high seas.
I hope that you and your children enjoy my books.

I hope children will delight in seeing the boy’s rather stern teacher becoming increasingly messy and bedraggled as the story unfolds. I like to add in a ‘spot the …..’ aspect to my stories. In this case there is a cheeky spider to be found.
My third book, a tale about a girl baking a cake with her Dad for her Mum’s birthday tea, is my husband’s favourite. I think this is probably due to the fact that it includes a recipe for pink party cake!
The latest addition to the Ruth Whenham book collection is a pirate adventure featuring a new character, Captain Sillyoice, and his unusual crew. The story, Captain Sillyvoice and his Pirate Band, is the first in a series of three books to be released over the coming months. Forthcoming titles are Captain Sillyvoice Takes to the Stage and Captain Sillyvoice and the Sea Monster. Watch this space…
Emma K. L Hunt has once again created the vibrant and amusing illustrations to accompany this fun-filled swashbuckling adventure; in which a gang of pirates learn how to be themselves and become successful on the high seas.
I hope that you and your children enjoy my books.

If you would like to find out more about me and my books then please visit my website at www.whenham.com or my Facebook page www.facebook.com/RuthWhenhamBooks. I am always keen to hear from readers.The big 40 was approaching and it was time to: take the plunge, make the leap, throw caution to the wind, follow one’s heart, do or die, prepare to fall flat on one’s face and most importantly, to stop thinking in idioms and begin. Okay, you get the point right? It was time to write. I knew that I had the ideas (loads of them) and I love to write in rhyme, so I began. One year later and I have published four children’s picture books. They are all fun-filled stories, combining mischief, great characters and interesting storylines. At least, that’s what I think (of course, why wouldn’t I?) I hope you will agree!
Here is a brief summary of my four titles to date:
My Crazy Purple Pen – about a crazy purple pen (funnily enough!) and a whole host of other fun characters who get caught up in the magic pen’s cheeky mischief.
The Day My Teacher Came to Tea – about a boy who’s mean teacher comes to tea, and the farce that ensues.
Birthday Cake Disaster – about a girl baking a cake with her dad, or at least trying to. It’s okay, the ending is a happy one, despite the title!
Captain Sillyvoice and his Pirate Band – about a gang of unusual but awesome pirates who find a way to have fun and become a swashbuckling success.
My first book, ‘My Crazy Purple Pen’ was inspired by a leaving gift from my work colleagues when I left the NHS; a very smart purple pen (surprisingly enough!) and writer’s notebook. I had taken the life-changing decision to leave the employ of the National Health Service to become a student again. The first time round I’d graduated in Human Psychology but this time I’d opted for Creative Writing. I have since completed this course and now enjoy dividing my time between writing new stories, marketing them (a necessary evil), volunteering at the Citizen’s Advice Bureau, being a mum to my two children and chewing the ear off (just couldn’t resist another idiom!) my long-suffering husband about anything and everything to do with children’s publishing.
Just a few days after leaving work, I sat down, opened up my notebook and began. Strangely enough, I didn’t have a plot in mind at the outset but everything seemed to flow almost by itself and by the end I was satisfied that I had included all the elements required for a good read; a character children could empathise with, humour at the expense of authority figures (which in my experience kids love), suspense and a small moral message thrown into the mix.
I found an illustrator, Emma Hunt, who was able to bring the story to life in just the way I had envisioned. She has a unique style which I thinks fits perfectly with the fun and modern tone of the book.

Although this is my first full length story I have previously written several short stories for friends and family members. I have worked on this particular story for over three years because I wanted to make it the best I possibly could. I have a very vivid imagination and my dreams and nightmares were a big influence to me when I was writing this story and still are as I am currently writing the next instalment for the series. I am inspired everywhere I go and I am 100% committed to my writing.

- SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST by Robin Hawdon -
About SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST by Robin Hawdon
A modern detective story, a historical account of the struggles of one of the world’s greatest scientists, and a World War II espionage story, all in one novel, which has attracted nearly all 5 star reviews on Amazon..
Does God REALLY exist? Are science and religion incompatible bed fellows? Charles Darwin shook philosophy to its foundations with his theory of evolution, yet strangely he himself refrained from commenting in depth about the religious implications for fear of adding to the furore.
But suppose that he did in fact write down his conclusions as a secret Addendum to his seminal work, ‘Origin of Species’. And suppose his beloved wife Emma, a devout Christian who kept her own secret journal, was the only other person to know of this hidden postscript.
This is the modern day story of the search for these two hugely significant works. An endearing and eccentric London antiquarian book dealer is hired by an equally eccentric American billionaire to track down the documents for his world famous collection of original manuscripts. Their complex investigation ranges across England from historic towns and stately piles to prisons and Darwin homes, and involves a series of encounters ranging from the criminal to the romantic and the revelatory. Along the way it explores the spiritual struggle within the extraordinary Darwin household, and the effects of that same struggle on the creation of the atom bomb and on modern terrorism.
A dramatic investigation of man’s spiritual dilemma which occupies the spaces between authors Dan Brown and Richard Dawkins. Do we want to know the answer, or will it stir up a hornet’s nest?SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST by Robin Hawdon is a post from Awesome Gang

- I Bring the Fire Part I: Wolves (A Loki Story) -
About I Bring the Fire Part I: Wolves (A Loki Story):In the middle of America, on Route 44, Amy Lewis has a plan — to get to her grandma’s house in time for dinner. Galaxies away Loki is waking up in a prison cell, strangely without a hangover, and with no idea what he’s done wrong — this time anyway. But he does know Thor is hiding something, Odin is up to something wicked, and there seems to be something he’s forgotten…
In this tale that is equal parts “Another Fine Myth,” “American Gods,” and “Once Upon a Time,” a very nice midwestern girl and a jaded, still very mischievous Loki must join forces to outwit gods, elves, magic sniffing cats, and nosy neighbors. If Loki can remember exactly what he’s forgotten and Amy can convince him not to be too distracted by Earthly gadgets, her boobs, or three day benders, they just might pull it off…
This first volume of “I Bring the Fire” is for anyone who suspects chaos and mischief makers might have their own redeeming qualities, and anyone who just wants a good fantasy romp through modern Earth, ancient Asgard, and beyond!

C. Gockel got her start writing fanfiction, and she is not ashamed! Much. She received emails, messages and reviews from her fans telling her she should ‘do this professionally’. She didn’t; because she is a coward and life as a digital designer, copywriter and coder is more dependable. But in the end, her husband’s nagging wore her down: “You could be the next ’50 Shades of Gray’ and I could retire!” Unfortunately, the author isn’t much for writing smut. She is sad about this; she’d love for her husband to be able to retire and just work for her so she could nag him.Besides trickster gods, she enjoys musing on quantum physics as it applies to the field of magic, and penning the occasional cameo by a velociraptor or hadrosaur. She can be found discussing all sorts of esoteric subjects that pop-up in the Fire series on her Facebook fan page.

- Kingdom Churches: New Strategies For A Revival Generation -
About Kingdom Churches: New Strategies For A Revival Generation:In Kingdom Churches, pastor, author, and speaker Mark Perry addresses the growing holy discontent in the Western church, as millions of believers are longing for something more raw, more real, and more revolutionary than the current state of the church in the West.
Drawing on years of experience as a church planter, pastor, and consultant, Perry writes about a refreshing new move of God where the kingdom emerges first, ahead of the church, and where the priesthood of all believers becomes a beautiful reality.
With great respect for God’s church, the author artfully addresses the ‘spots’ on the wedding gown of the church and then gets at the core of the holy discontent that is causing millions of believers to leave local churches. But this isn’t another book simply describing problems. The tone is entirely positive and hopeful as Perry writes about practical solutions and solid ways forward. The church as a greenhouse, the balance of blessing and building, and so on–these perspectives and others greatly help the reader to understand a major paradigm shift that God Himself is bringing about to infuse fresh life into the local church of the 21st century.
Kingdom Churches is a book that will help members and leaders of local churches, as well as those who have long since left the local church, to find their way back to a place of healing and hope. As Perry sees it, there is a new ‘recipe’ for life-giving, effective kingdom churches, and it’s time for the church in the West to ‘taste better’ than it has for decades!
Kingdom Churches is a book that will encourage, inspire, and inform. Every Christian, every church member, and every local church leadership team would benefit from reading this insightful, practical book.

- The God King -
Heroes are not born, they are forged in the fires of apocalypse…
Mercenary Kian Valara wants nothing more than to retire from a life of blood and butchery. But when an arrogant princeling offers him enough gold to buy a throne, Kian straps on his sword for one last mission. And besides, what could be easier than guarding a prince who wants to sow his royal seed in every backwater fortress and village throughout the realm?
Turns out, dying would’ve been easier.
Kian discovers too late that the prince’s ambition has shattered the foundations of the world, and that he intends to remake all Creation.
As the moons collide and the skies burn, Kian and his devastated company of warriors hound the demented prince across a nightmare realm. At every turn, Kian must fight for his life against demons escaped from the underworld, and those who they have transformed into blood-hungry terrors.
Along the way, Kian meets a powerful and beautiful woman who prepares him for a battle he has small hope of winning. To triumph, Kian must summon all his skill and courage, he must sacrifice more than he ever imagined he could, and he must embrace the dark secret that binds him to the power-mad prince.
Only one thing is certain: if Kian fails, the world of men will burn in the fires of apocalypse, and the God King will rule unchallenged and unpunished.

My names Olivia Howe. I’m 19 years old. I was born in Florida and raised in Maine. I enjoy writing, reading, music, and cheerleading. I love sports! I’m a HEAT lover and a PATRIOTS fan. Don’t judge!My family is my biggest support group. My 2 nieces have always inspired me to want to achieve more in life. My Dad always believed in me, even when I came to him with some crazy dreams. My Mom and step-Dad have always supported me throughout my life. My Auntie and Uncle Scotty have showed me how to pursue a normal and healthy lifestyle. My Sister, Amanda, has always been my best friend and without her in my life I wouldn’t be whole.
Writing “Dark Love” truly saved my life. I was struggling with depression and anxiety when I discovered that I wanted to write a book. I didn’t have any idea what the book was going to be about, but I knew I wanted to accomplish finishing a novel.
When I began writing the book, all the words came out naturally, like I was born to write. I’m proud of myself for actually being able to finish a novel that’s over 300 pages long.
Without “Dark Love” I would probably still be struggling with severe depression and anxiety. I was lost for a while, but writing saved my life, it truly did.
Being a published author is my dream in life. I’m dedicated to make my dream possible no matter how impossible it might seem. Giving up is just not an option.

- Nightmare City -
When beautiful young thief Katya goes on the run from a loan shark in the terrifying city of Lavorgna, the last thing she expects is to be plunged into an epic adventure that will determine the fate of the world, but that’s just what happens in “Nightmare City”.
Lavorgna is a city of fog and shadows, undead servants soaring zeppelins, where mad scientists prowl the alleys, mob bosses strive for power and the dreaded Guild of Alchemists holds the land in an iron grip, while below the city lies a network of black caverns embedded with the ruins of an ancient race. Known as the Elders, they long ago worshipped Lovecraftian horrors.
To survive and save the world from an unimaginable fate, Katya must navigate all these dangers and more. On the run, she seeks out the local mob boss Ravic, only to learn that he’s embroiled in a vicious gang war with his rival Loqrin Mars, a conflict that has supernatural overtones. A new horror has gripped the city, with mysterious creatures called haunts killing people by the dozen, and Ravic believes Loqrin Mars is behind it. If Katya wants Ravic’s help, she must find out what Loqrin is up to — and stop him!
To do this, Katya must use all her thieving skills and cunning, because if she doesn’t succeed, the whole world will suffer an awful fate.

Louise Parker has written an eloquent, engaging, and emotionally resonant first-person account of what it really takes to overcome a life devastated by the painful and incurable disorder, Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Fellow sufferers will empathize with and find validation in her struggles, as well as encouragement from her ultimate triumphs. A born writer, her story reads like a novel when in fact it is an intensely personal real-life account.

For extra work, she assists the police as a freelance photographer for the Dallas Criminal Investigations Division. She always wanted to be a police officer like her brother but being less than five feet tall has its disadvantages.

Donald is a decorated Special Forces veteran on the trail of the same child abduction ring that the Dallas detectives are also attempting to track.
