&lt;b&gt;About Featured Book:  The Tide Between Us by Olive Collins&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1821: Among the thousands of Irish deportees to the Caribbean British Colonies is a 10 year old Irish boy, Art O’Neill. As an Indentured Servant on a sugar plantation in Jamaica, Art gradually acclimatizes to the exotic country and the unfamiliar customs of the African slaves.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When the new heirs to the plantation arrive from Ireland they resurrect the ghosts of brutal injustices against Art. He bides his time and hides his abhorrence from his new master by channeling his energy into his work. During those years he prospers, he acquires land, he sees his colored children freed after emancipation as he takes us on a multi-generational historical saga. Eventually Art is promised seven gold coins for seven decades of service. He doubts his master will part with the coins. The morning Art sets out to claim his gratuity, he ignores his sense of foreboding that he may not return home alive.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ireland 1991: One hundred years later a skeleton is discovered beneath a fallen tree on the grounds of Lugdale Estate. By its side is a gold coin minted in 1870. Yseult, the owner of the estate, watches as events unfold, fearful of the long-buried truths that may emerge about her family’s past and its links to the slave trade. As the skeleton gives up its secrets, Yseult realizes she too can no longer hide.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Inspired by the real story of 2,000 Irish children deported to Jamaica and the statistics that 25% of Jamaican citizens claim Irish ancestry. The Tide Between Us is a powerful novel documenting true historical events and the resilience of the human spirit.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;About the book:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An ex-DEA agent with nothing left to live for returns home to embark on a vengeful journey of revenge against those responsible for the death of his family. He’ll stop at nothing to make them pay—with their lives or his in this first novel in the Nick Lafferty thriller series.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In California, DEA agent Nick Lafferty led the investigation to eradicate a new and deadly form of synthetic crack cocaine called Crystal White. An investigation that took from him everything he cherished, and left Lafferty a broken man. A man with nothing to live for.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now, the street poison Crystal White again floods the streets, this time in the northern suburbs of New York City.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Aided by his ex-partner, Delmar Harley, an alcoholic cop on the edge and dogged by a beautiful assistant district attorney who believes the DEA agent’s gone rogue, Nick Lafferty relentlessly embarks on a dark and vengeful journey of revenge, mounting a full-on assault against the Crystal White drug cartel. Nick Lafferty will stop at nothing to make them pay…with their lives—or his.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Objective-Setting season is fast approaching. There’s a knot in the pit of your stomach.  As time ticks closer to having to set objectives with your team, you can feel the knot pulsing, getting bigger.  It has to be done but what’s the point? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, this is how many managers feel about objective-setting.  Often due to lack of training or through their negative experiences with their own manager.  It often feels like a box-ticking exercise.  It doesn’t have to be this way.  Actively developing each team member has huge benefits, of the individual, the team, their manager, the company and clients.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;SMART Objective Setting for Managers has been written specifically for managers.  It sets out the relationship between job description and objectives.  It deconstructs the SMART framework.  It then works through practical examples of how to design objectives that will really deliver the desired outcomes.  It focuses on both target-driven “what” objectives alongside behavioural “how” objectives.  It also takes some time to explore both the employee’s perspective and the manager’s mindset, in relation to performance and their role.   &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Summaries and prompts, at the end of each chapter, recap on each chapter’s main points and allow you, the reader, to think about the points in relation to your own team.  Free template downloads are also available, to help you apply the learning.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;What Inspired You to Write Your Book?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
Having managed a team for 10+ years and having worked as an executive coach and leadership/management trainer for 20+ years, I have designed and implemented several performance management systems and trained hundreds of managers in how to implement them, including objective setting, giving effective feedback and evaluating performance.  As part of this process, the same challenges, concerns and emotions come up, over and over again, regardless of industry.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In particular, managers grapple with how to design behavioural objectives such as, how to improve a person&#x27;s poor communication skills, increase their self-awareness or develop their stakeholder management skills.  These are difficult enough but then they have to be put into a SMART format.  As a result of this, I developed a workshop, designed to help managers develop these skills.  After a workshop, they could see a path forward.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When the time came to write this book, I knew this was a book that managers need.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr/&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Book Sample&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
CHAPTER 2:  THE CATCH WITH SMART&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Having looked at the relationship between Job Description and Objectives, as managers, how do we approach the process of setting objectives?  Following on from Chapter 1, Jenny has identified three solid objectives for Ray to focus on for the coming period: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;– Be responsible for various outputs for EMEA business units [role specific]&lt;br/&gt;
– Project manage SAP implementation project for the team [business-aligned]&lt;br/&gt;
– Enhance stakeholder management skills [behavioural development]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jenny feels that succeeding in these three objectives will really boost both Ray’s and the team’s performance in the short-term while enhancing Ray’s career prospects in the longer-term.  So, what does Jenny need to do now? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Having identified his objectives, Jenny could just leave it until she meets with Ray and discuss the objectives with him then.  However, as we will see, Jenny’s understanding of what each of these objectives means and how they will be evaluated might be the same as Ray’s understanding or, much more likely, could be wildly different.  Enter the SMART model, which, as we saw in the Introduction, stands for: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;S	Specific &lt;br/&gt;
M	Measurable &lt;br/&gt;
A	Attainable &lt;br/&gt;
R	Relevant* &lt;br/&gt;
T	Timeframe &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
*Some people use the word Realistic rather than Relevant.  As Realistic is very closely aligned with Attainable, I prefer to use Relevant to allow for a link between the objective and why it matters. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Using SMART has long been accepted as the most effective way for setting out objectives.  However, many managers dislike SMART, so much so that I usually expect a groan or two when I mention the acronym.  What I have noticed is that many managers struggle to use SMART in any useful way, particularly when it comes to behavioural, how objectives.  I find that once they’ve gone through my SMART Objective Setting workshop, they are much clearer on how to use it, both with the WHAT and the HOW objectives, and are much more positive about using SMART.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At the start of the workshop, having checked that participants know what SMART stands for, and regardless of my audience, I ask the group if the following objective is SMART:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I’m going out, can you do the dishes?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The conversation usually runs something like this: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Them: 	No, there’s no timeframe. &lt;br/&gt;
Me: 	        Okay then, I’ll rephrase:  I’m going out; I’ll be back in an hour.  Can you have the dishes done? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Them:	Yeah, that’s SMART. &lt;br/&gt;
Me: 	        Is it? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Them: 	Eh, yeah, it’s SMART.  You have the specific and the measurable and the timeframe.  The relevant and attainable are both fine. &lt;br/&gt;
Me:	        So, is it SMART? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Them: 	Yes.&lt;br/&gt;
Me: 	        You’re sure? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Them: 	Yep, we’re sure.&lt;br/&gt;
Me: 	        Okay, so hands up; whose idea of doing the dishes is “washing the dishes and letting them drip-dry on the counter”? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The bigger the group, the more likely you are to get a couple of people putting their hands up.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Me: 	So, whose idea of doing the dishes is “washing the dishes and drying them”? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Usually, a few hands go up. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Me: 	Whose idea of doing the dishes is “washing and drying them and putting them away”? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The majority of hands go up for this one, often along with one or two hands from the previous group with “Oh, that’s what I meant” or “Oh, that’s what I thought you meant” type comments. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Me: 	Whose idea is “washing, drying and putting away the dishes and wiping down the counters”?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Usually, the rest of the hands go up on this one, with everyone else in the room feeling like they’ve been shamed by their lack of cleaning prowess.  This one is often accompanied by some knowing laughs, as they now understand why they constantly end up in arguments at home about the dishes being “done”.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In one session, one person didn’t put up their hand so I asked them why, to which they replied, “Oh, my idea of doing the dishes is all of the above and sweeping the floors.”  Upon recovering from my chastisement, I added this option into workshops and, yes, occasionally it does get selected. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One of my all-time favourite responses to this exercise was an exclamation of, “Oh, you want the kitchen cleaned.”  We all fell around the place laughing at the implied nuanced difference between the phrases “doing the dishes” and “cleaning the kitchen”.  To this person, there was clearly a difference.  To the rest of us, they were two ways of saying the same thing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once the laughing has settled down, I highlight that SMART can be very effective in setting out and framing an objective.  However, a natural constraint exists when using SMART between two people.  So, care needs to be taken in clearly constructing an objective and ensuring a common understanding between both parties.  Otherwise, issues will arise due to differences in expectations.  If someone initially selected the second dishes option and then changed it to the third option, I highlight the point that, if the manager isn’t clear on what is expected, how can the employee be clear?    &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I use this example because, regardless of level, everyone can understand and relate to it and it beautifully highlights that, for such a simple task, there are five or six different ways it can be interpreted while looking like a SMART objective.&lt;/p&gt;

In 2008 a group of women serving life sentences for capital crimes sought to reach out to at-risk youth and warn them of the consequences of bad choices. With the mantra: If we can help just one kid, all this work will be worth it, they produced and performed a play: FACES. The play became a phenomenon and reached hundreds of people—in the prison and at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. This is their story. It is also the author’s story. How she went from knowing nothing about the Criminal Justice System to becoming an advocate for these women and an activist for change. The women’s mantra became her own and the basis for this book. One of the women said of FACES, the play: “If I had seen this play when I was a teenager, I probably wouldn’t be here now.” The women and the author want FACES, the book, to reach young adult readers and help them in the same way. You don’t have to be perfect. You don’t have to have all the answers or always know the right thing to say. You can climb the tallest tree if you want. You can take chances, make miracles or make mistakes. You don’t have to be composed at all hours to be strong. You don’t have to be bad or certain to be brave. You don’t have to have all the answers or even know who you want to be. Just take us with you in your journey, following your heart as we have just done with you. –From the play: FACES&lt;br/&gt;
FACES is available in e-book and print versions&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Beneath the surface of a top London university, an ancient society known as The Seechers, operate. They protect the world’s biggest secret. A hidden gateway to the subconscious world. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;New philosophy student, Aris Fletcher, stumbles into the unimaginable world of The Seechers; as his bizarre dreams, present disturbing glimpses into the future.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Targeted Age Group:&lt;/b&gt;: Teen, Young Adult, Adult&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;What Inspired You to Write Your Book?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
The world of the Seechers has been inspired by my life-long fascination with dreams. As a teenager, I used to talk very intensely with my friends about dreams. We tried to control our dreams, have shared dreams, we researched the meaning of dreams and we even had our own dreamers club. I became very interested in hypnogogia, which is a transitional state between being asleep and being awake. Many famous writers, artists and inventors have used this state to retrieve their extraordinary ideas. Thomas Edison is well known for his techniques in trying to tap his subconscious for deeper insights for his inventions. After trying, for a long time, to find my own method to tap my subconscious in this way, for an amazing idea, I began to realise, that the concept of taking something out of the subconscious and into this world, was in itself the start to an idea. That is really what Seechers is about. They are an ancient and secret group of intellects, who have essentially pulled unworldly powers, out from a dream and into the conscious world and there are bad guys who what their power, for themselves.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;How Did You Come up With Your Characters?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
The book is actually based on my award winning short film, that launches on DUST Youtube Channel (2.36M subscribers) on 15th April 2021. So I&#x27;d already invented a lot of the characters for the short film. We got so carried away with the story and the characters and the world, we&#x27;ve actually mapped it into a five part book series. &#x27;Beyond The Mirror: Seechers&#x27; is the first in the series. You can find out more about the project, at seechers.com.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Book Sample&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
The large metal doors thrust open before Aris had even reached them. It was as though he’d willed them apart. An unnerving determination glistened in his big blue eyes. His long, mousy-blonde hair brushed off his brow as he hit the outside air. His pace was so quick he barely managed to read the sign that indicated he was now on the roof. Not slowing for an instant, Aris bolted to the edge. Peering over and taking in the long drop, he knew the only way out was to jump. The building was thirteen-stories high. The only chance of survival was to land in the river below.&lt;br/&gt;
Panting hard, the cold air gave form to his breath. Aris had risked everything to be in the Curative Analytical building this night. Tightly held in his hand was a small, glass column-shaped hard drive. It glowed with a beautiful blue luminescence and was of a value he could barely&lt;br/&gt;
comprehend. Yet he knew he had to escape with it. He had to keep it safe and, eventually, destroy it.&lt;br/&gt;
“STOP!” a loud, harsh female voice cut through the frosty air like a sledgehammer through a block of ice. It wasn’t the shrillness of the voice that immobilized Aris, it was the familiarity. He knew exactly who was behind him. Slow and fearful, he twisted to face her. Memories of the recent&lt;br/&gt;
dreams he’d had, of this exact moment on the roof, raced through his mind. He knew the dreams had been a glimpse into the future. That, one day, this horrible scene would unfold. He just hadn’t foreseen how quickly it would transpire. Nor had he anticipated that the silhouette of the woman, who now stood in front of him, would become someone he’d grown to love. &lt;br/&gt;
The outline became clearer as she stepped into the moonlight. Even in the darkness of night, Aris could still make out her piercing eyes. Maya Green stood tall, glaring towards him. Her long blonde hair wisped in the breeze.&lt;br/&gt;
Aris took a large gulp of air before he uttered her name. “Maya.” There was a tremble in his voice. He paused, not sure what else to say.&lt;br/&gt;
He tried to remember what he’d said in the dreams. “I can’t believe this is really happening,” Maya said as her voice shredded; her eyes filling with tears. She stood bold as she often did. Except, this time, held at arm’s length was a handgun, that she pointed squarely at Aris.&lt;br/&gt;
“The others will be here soon. There’s still time to make this right,”&lt;br/&gt;
Aris declared with confidence, though he lied. “Aris, please, you have to give it back. This means more to me than it does to you!” Maya requested as she outstretched her left hand. “I can’t! How many others are going to die if this carries on?! I can’t let this happen. I’m sorry, Maya.” Aris edged back. He could hear distant footsteps race up the stairs he’d not long sprinted up. He raised the glowing hard drive high in the air as the heel of his shoe touched the edge of the roof. He tentatively glanced over his shoulder and down at the river before turning his attention back to Maya.&lt;br/&gt;
Tears tumbled down Maya’s face as her hand shook. She shouted loud enough so those rushing up the stairs could hear. “Give me the&lt;br/&gt;
hard drive!” Several men armed with guns hurried out of the doorway. She wiped her tears away before any of them reached her side. “I forgive you,” Aris said softly as he looked down again, mustering the courage to jump. Maya was now flanked by security guards and, joining her was Dr&lt;br/&gt;
Rivers. A tall man, with a large jaw and pitted skin. “That hard drive’s property of Curative Analytical. You’re trespassing and stealing. I’m not sure what business you have here, or what you think you know about that drive, but if you come away from the edge now, we’ll sit down and talk about it. We won’t press any charges against you. Just come this way.” Dr Rivers urged as he stretched out his hand and took one step closer.&lt;br/&gt;
“No!” Aris shouted.&lt;br/&gt;
“What are you going to do, boy? Jump?! Don’t be a fool. You’ll never survive that fall. Is this really worth risking your life over?” Dr Rivers reasoned, with a painfully fake smile. A deep fear consumed Aris. This moment had unravelled eerily in exactly the same way he’d seen in his dreams. Except he knew the dreams always became fragmented and unclear from here on in.&lt;br/&gt;
“Step away from the edge. You’re putting yourself in great danger, “Dr Rivers shouted. Aris turned and prepared to leap. But before he could, the sound of a gunshot rang out. He stumbled on the spot for a moment as an immense pain blasted through him. A bullet had pierced through his back&lt;br/&gt;
and ripped out from his abdomen. He cocked his head towards Maya and saw a plume of smoke empty from the barrel of her gun. Blood quickly saturated his clothes. Security guards galloped towards him. His mind blacked out, and he toppled headlong, plummeting to the river below.&lt;/p&gt;

FREE EBOOK April 18-20, 2021&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Targeted Age Group:&lt;/b&gt;: 9-13&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;What Inspired You to Write Your Book?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
I was inspired to write this book for my nephew. He is a gifted reader and loves books. I wanted him to understand how much Jesus loves him in a personal way. The main character, Sedwik, a donkey, grows up with Jesus and they are best friends. I want children and adults to know Jesus in this personal way.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;more-403322&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;How Did You Come up With Your Characters?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
The main character, Sedwik was inspired by my 2 children&#x27;s struggle with ADHD and their delightful personalities. The character Jesus is based on Jesus from the Bible. The other human characters are based on stories from the Bible as well. All of the other animal characters were inspired from the personalities of my nieces and nephews as well as friends they encountered and experiences they had growing up.&lt;/p&gt;

“Oh, boy. I love telling stories,” I said. “I will try to make Mama proud. She was the best storyteller,” I added. &lt;br/&gt;
Eve nudged me with her wet nose saying, “Ribbit, ribbit. Go on, tell me the story.” The touch of her wet nose startled me just enough to hop lily pads back to my story. &lt;br/&gt;
“Oh, of course,” I said giggling. &lt;br/&gt;
	I began, “It was a long time ago in a desert land. The children of Israel had been searching for the promised land for a long while now. Adonai instructed Joshua, their leader, to send out two men to spy and find out about the city Jericho.”&lt;br/&gt;
	 “What about Moses?” Eve interrupted. “I thought he led them in the wilderness.” I cleared my throat harshly letting her know I didn’t appreciate the disturbance.  &lt;br/&gt;
“Yes, Eve. Moses did lead the children of Israel out of Egypt and through the wilderness. This story begins after Moses died and the Lord made Joshua their leader.” I answered.&lt;br/&gt;
	 I continued, “As I was saying, Joshua sent two spies. The keeper who took care of Great-gramps was one of those spies. His name was Salmon.”&lt;br/&gt;
	“Oh, Sedwik. This is exciting.” Eve said.&lt;br/&gt;
“It will be, if you let me finish.” I mumbled under my breath. &lt;br/&gt;
Eve spoke up again asking, “Did your Gramps get to go with them?” &lt;br/&gt;
“Yes, indeed,” I replied. “I come from a long line of travelers,” I added. This time I nudged her with my wet nose and said, “Now, before I slip on another lily pad–ribbit, ribbit–let’s get back to the story.” We both laughed. &lt;br/&gt;
	I continued, “Great-gramps traveled all night with the two spies. They knocked on the door of Rahab’s house. She lived on the city wall. She let the two men stay for the night. Gramps slept under the stars outside the city gate. Early the next day, just as the bright orange circle peeked out, the king of Jericho sent some of his men to Rahab’s door. After she heard their knock at the door, she sent the two Israelite spies up to her roof to hide. &lt;br/&gt;
“When she answered the door, she said, ‘They were gone before the city gate was closed for the night. Chase after them, quickly.’ The king’s men ran right past Gramps. Mama told me that he hid himself behind some overgrown weeds.” &lt;br/&gt;
	 “What happened to the spies?” Tali asked. “Did they escape?” Perez inquired. Tamar added, “Where is Shelley? He won’t want to miss this.” &lt;br/&gt;
Just then Shelley said, “I’m here. I wouldn’t miss it. I love a good story and I sure don’t want to miss the announcement!”&lt;br/&gt;
	 I continued, “Rahab quickly made her way up to the roof. The spies were hiding under some stalks of flax spread out on the floor.”&lt;br/&gt;
“Spies! What spies? I love a good mystery.” Shelley interrupted excitedly. &lt;br/&gt;
“You missed that part.” Eve answered. “They are spies for the Israelites.” &lt;br/&gt;
“Who are the Israelites?” Shelley asked. &lt;br/&gt;
“If you will be patient and listen, we can all find out. suggested Tamar, laughing. “Please go ahead, Sedwik.” &lt;br/&gt;
Shelley nodded and I continued, “Rahab said, ‘We’ve heard rumors about your people. I know the Lord, your God has given you this land.’ She added, ‘Dread has fallen upon us and we melt in terror.’” &lt;br/&gt;
	“Dread! Terror!” Shelley interrupted. “This is getting good.” &lt;br/&gt;
“Shhhhh!” whispered Eve, Tamar, and Perez loudly. &lt;br/&gt;
“Okay, okay.” Shelley agreed. &lt;br/&gt;
	 “Where was I?” I asked. “Oh, yes: Rahab said to the spies, ‘We know all about how the Lord, your God dried up the Red Sea so you could escape from the Egyptians. You have defeated the Amorite people.’ Rahab also said, ‘Our hearts pound with fear because of you. The Lord, your God is God in heaven above and here on earth.’&lt;br/&gt;
	“Wow,” Tali exclaimed. “I have never heard these stories. “Sedwik, please tell us how the spies escaped–or did they escape?”&lt;br/&gt;
“Be patient, Tali,” I scolded as I tried to answer his questions. “Rahab pleaded with the spies, asking, ‘Since I have been faithful to both of you, please swear to me that you will be faithful to me and my father’s house.’ The men bargained with her, ‘Our lives for yours. If you do not report us, then when the Lord gives us the land, we will be faithful and kind to you.’ Remember that Rahab’s house was on the city wall.” I reminded my friends.&lt;br/&gt;
Eve spoke up, “Oh yes, I remember.” &lt;br/&gt;
The others nodded in agreement. &lt;br/&gt;
“Which city?” Shelley asked. &lt;br/&gt;
“Jericho!” Everyone answered in unison.&lt;br/&gt;
“Well, that kind of shouting will make the walls fall down.” Shelley said. &lt;br/&gt;
“You are getting ahead of me, Shelley.” I started in once again, “Rahab lowered the spies down the city wall, by a rope out of her window. She said, ‘Go into the hills and wait three days. The king’s men will have returned by then and it will be safe for you to go home.’ &lt;br/&gt;
“The Israelite spies warned Rahab, ‘Tie a scarlet rope and hang it out your window. This will be our sign. We must see the rope.’”&lt;br/&gt;
	“Did the children of Israel come back? Did they save Rahab?” Perez asked. &lt;br/&gt;
“Yes, we want to know, Sedwik, tell us.” The others chimed in.&lt;br/&gt;
	 I continued, “Great-gramps led the spies home. When Joshua led the people across the Jordan River to Jericho, they did remember Rahab. They saw the scarlet rope and saved her. Salmon, my Great-gramps’s keeper…” &lt;br/&gt;
“Salmon was one of the secret spies, right?” Shelley interrupted. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Yes, Shelley. As I was saying, Salmon fell in love with Rahab and married her.” &lt;br/&gt;
“Ew, I didn’t want to hear a mushy love story, Sedwik.” said Perez. &lt;br/&gt;
“Me either!” cried Shelley. &lt;br/&gt;
Tamar nudged Perez with her hoof and said, “I think it’s sweet.” &lt;br/&gt;
Eve agreed.&lt;br/&gt;
 	“Jesus reminded us last night about Salmon and Rahab’s daughter’s name: Dinah. The meaning of the name Dinah, is ‘God will judge.’ The God of our ancestors judged Rahab faithful and he brought her into his family through the spy, Salmon. He was Great-gramps’s keeper, remember? What do you think, Everyone?” &lt;br/&gt;
“I love it. Jesus is a great name giver!” Perez said with a big, toothy smile. &lt;br/&gt;
“Dinah is a beautiful name!” Tali chimed in. “It suits her.” &lt;br/&gt;
At that very moment Dinah woke up. She knew her name and she was ready for the world.&lt;br/&gt;
					__________&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Thanks for helping me carry this burden of wheat and barley, Sedwik.” Mary said. “Are those Tamar’s twins running toward us?”&lt;br/&gt;
“Baa, baa!” Shouted the twins on their way by. &lt;br/&gt;
“Hee-haw!” I bellowed. &lt;br/&gt;
“Oh, look, Dinah is right behind them.” Mary observed. “Hi Dinah!” Ever so shy, Dinah’s face turned pomegranate red. She hung her head so low her ears dragged along the ground as she ran. “Be careful, Dinah. Lift up those ears or you’ll trip!” Mary called out.&lt;br/&gt;
Before I could hee-haw twice, she tripped and slid right into Mary’s chickens that had gathered to feed on the spilled wheat and barley from my burden. Feathers flew everywhere. When Dinah looked up, she had a face full of chicken feathers. We all laughed, including Dinah.&lt;br/&gt;
	“The stable is a very busy place lately.” I announced.&lt;br/&gt;
“Tamar, your fluffy twin lambs Rachel and Rebekah certainly are ornery little stinkers.” Tali said. &lt;br/&gt;
“And Dinah follows them around everywhere.” Perez commented.&lt;br/&gt;
“I thought sheep were supposed to be the followers.” Shelley added. &lt;br/&gt;
“Come on everyone. You know Dinah is very shy. I’m just glad she has playmates.” Eve replied firmly. &lt;br/&gt;
“Yes, dear.” I affirmed.&lt;br/&gt;
“It’s unfortunate that your clumsiness has been passed on to Dinah, Sedwik.” Shelley announced. &lt;br/&gt;
“That is a difficult combination.” Perez agreed. &lt;br/&gt;
“Dinah will grow into herself in His time–in His perfect time.” I sound just like my Mama. I thought proudly.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A witch reverse harem that will light you on fire!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All her life Max knew she was destined for more, but when she graduated high school, she never expected to find out she was a witch.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now Max isn’t headed to the ivy league college of her dreams but to the Witch’s Academy, where the spells are real and the classes just might kill you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If Max hopes to survive her new destiny she’ll have to put up with mean girl cliques, way too sexy for their own good bad boys, and a popularity contest she didn’t expect to win.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Turns out, wishing comes with consequences and all magic has a price, especially at Witch Academy, but Max may find she’s more prepared than she thought to handle it all.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;About the Book&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you were to find yourself at the edge of a dying world with a lingering sense of reality, would you simply fade into the nothingness or would you fight for everything you hold dear? This assertive question is at the heart of the thought-provoking book Ubiety, for this abstract book was designed to help people emerge into reality and find the truth whilst questioning both what could and should be.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Join Adam in a whirlwind of past and present madness, diving into the many mysteries which will uncover bittersweet secrets to see if he can save his fate and somehow put the chaos set in his mind at rest. However, be aware, this will certainly not be an easy read but remember that some of the greatest fortunes lie on the darkest paths.&lt;/p&gt;

White&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A tortured gunfighter. A Navajo outcast. – And the Creature whose claws would stain the stones of the Mojave red.&lt;br/&gt;
						Flush with raw silver and ruled by a baron with an iron fist, the tiny mining outpost of Shank’s Point is under siege by a sinister evil.&lt;br/&gt;
						When the rising sun reveals the claw-torn bodies littered among the rocks, John Swift-Runner calls on his old friend, a vagabond gunfighter, to stand with him against the slaughter he knows will come.&lt;br/&gt;
						But as their band of misfits hunts for the creature on the burning sands of the Mojave, they stumble into a generations old mystery that goes beyond shamanic curses and into the bloodstained pages of legend.&lt;br/&gt;
						Can the killing be stopped?&lt;br/&gt;
						And can a tortured gunman like Kit Barker – with a terrible secret of his own – prevail against something as savage and eternal as the Beast?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;What Inspired You to Write Your Book?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
						Writing Shadow of Wolves was about creating the story I wanted to read. It was probably around 2004 that I picked up a paperback somewhere that promised a “cowboys versus monsters” adventure and was just utterly disappointed with it. The cowboys were simply dudes with big hats and the monster turned out to be swamp gas or something. It bothered me so much that I decided to write the story I had imagined when I saw that simple premise. Ultimately it became much more than that as
characters and scenarios came to life, but at its core my writing is about telling the stories I would want to hear.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;How Did You Come up With Your Characters?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
						It depends on the character&#x27;s place in the story. Protagonists are a mixture of the traits I find most admirable and the flaws most likely to hinder them. Villains and antagonists are based on the traits I find most appalling but tempered by a sense of what would reasonably accomplish their goals. And with all characters, I strive to give them traits that are realistic and human.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Book Sample&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
						A bolt of pain shot up through Cannon’s body as the horse halted, lurching him forward in the saddle.&lt;br/&gt;
						The mare snorted and laid her ears back against her head. Her hooves shuffled nervous furrows in the dirt and the whites of her eyes shone in the dark. Cannon looked around, realizing for the first time how fast the night had come.&lt;br/&gt;
						“Easy, girl,” Cannon hissed through cracked and swollen lips, “easy now.”&lt;br/&gt;
						A growing sense of unease rose in Cannon’s throat as he turned in his saddle and surveyed the night. The deep shadows of evening seemed to shift and move, groaning against their natural boundaries. He swallowed.&lt;br/&gt;
						It’s all in your head, Tim, he thought. He should find a place to stop the night and build a fire. But not here, he thought as he looked through the darkness. Maybe he could find a better place to camp up ahead.&lt;br/&gt;
						Cannon touched his spurs to the mare and the animal cautiously stepped forward. Its head held low, almost cowering. They reached a gully in the desert floor and Cannon guided his mount towards it, but the mare refused to move into the ditch. She snorted and whinnied, tossing her head and stamping her hooves against the ground.&lt;br/&gt;
						“Alright, damnit,” Cannon hissed, turning his horse to the right and cresting back up on the trail.&lt;br/&gt;
						There must be a coyote around, Cannon mused. Or maybe apaches, he thought as a cold fear crept into his mouth. Had there been any trouble with Indians near Shank’s Point? He tried to remember if he had heard of any and decided he had not. His fear began to subside.&lt;br/&gt;
						Then Cannon heard the scraping rasp of claws on stone from the brush to his left.&lt;br/&gt;
						The mare stiffened under the saddle and sidestepped awkwardly. Cannon struggled to keep the animal under control with only his right arm. The mare was on the edge of panic, and Cannon could feel the horse’s terror seeping into himself as well.&lt;br/&gt;
						Tim Cannon slid one of his revolvers from the holster with his swollen fingers and aimed it into the night. He could only see a few yards, but he aimed in the direction his horse was staring and waited.&lt;br/&gt;
						There came a wet hissing sound from beneath him, and the stale smell of urine as his horse vented her bladder into the sand.&lt;br/&gt;
						Then Cannon heard it. A low growl rumbled through the brush and shadow, and the pounding footfalls of something racing across the sand – something fast and heavy.&lt;br/&gt;
						Cannon felt the pistol buck in his hand, roaring into the silence and splashing fire over the night.&lt;br/&gt;
						In the bright flash of the muzzle flare, Cannon saw it coming – and it was no coyote.&lt;br/&gt;
						As darkness collapsed back in on them, the mare turned and bolted over the sand. Cannon instinctively grabbed at the saddle horn with his broken arm – felt the searing pain as the fractures crackled – and clung tight, all hope of controlling the horse now gone. Over the rasping snort of the mare’s breath, he could hear the beast pursuing.&lt;br/&gt;
						He turned in the saddle and fired twice more. The first muzzle flash threw light over the dark form closing in behind, and then in the second flash it was gone.&lt;br/&gt;
						For a moment, Cannon let himself believe he had hit the thing.&lt;br/&gt;
						A crashing in the brush on his left brought his attention around. There it was beside him, running abreast of the panicked horse. It turned its great head and looked at him, its yellow eyes aflame in the darkness.&lt;br/&gt;
						Cannon thumbed back the hammer on his pistol, tried to aim, but the horse was bounding over rock and brush and as the hammer fell, he knew he had missed.&lt;br/&gt;
						The creature roared at him and angled away from the galloping mare and vanishing into the shadows. Cannon struggled to aim again, fear and adrenaline soaked through his body.&lt;br/&gt;
						Suddenly, the beast reappeared on a rock outcropping ahead of them and off to the left. Cannon leveled the pistol on the massive lupine head.&lt;br/&gt;
						The beast just stood there, waiting.&lt;br/&gt;
						Before Cannon could squeeze the trigger, he felt the sick lurch of gravity leaving his gut. Even as he fell, Cannon knew the mare had run off an outcropping and into space. What was more, somehow, he knew that the beast had planned it.&lt;br/&gt;
						They struck the desert floor with a shattering crash. The mare screamed – a shrill and horrible sound – as both her front shanks broke, and she ploughed headfirst into the ground. Her neck snapped and the weight of her carcass rolled through the dirt. Cannon was flung free from the saddle and struck the ground with a rolling bounce. The air was forced from his lungs and pinpoints of light burst across his eyes. He slammed into the side of a cactus, his body crushing the plant
and spraying pulp on the stones.&lt;br/&gt;
						Cannon lay on the sand, certain that the beast would come for him. Darkness swelled around the edges of his vision, and gratefully he passed out.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A psychiatrist  treating a psychotic patient descends into madness and finds himself at the nexus of a deadly plot. Can he trust anyone in his struggle for survival and his quest to regain his sanity? Can you guess who murdered his patient and what drove him mad? Share his hallucinations and terror through his eyes and try to unravel the mystery.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;What Inspired You to Write Your Book?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
As a psychiatrist, I often struggled with competing ethical and legal responsibilities. In the course of providing treatment to relieve distress, I was expected to keep whatever my patients told me strictly confidential. At the same time, I was entrusted with preventing harm. Some patients posed the risk of harm to themselves, some of harm to others, and still others offered information about people around them who posed danger to them or to others. The responsibility to prevent harm was further complicated by my limited influence upon my patients’ fate.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Balancing the duty to maintain confidentiality with the duty to prevent harm and walking the often fine line between them caused me many a sleepless night. And the severity of the dilemma was directly related to the magnitude of potential harm that I envisioned.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The seeds of Shared Madness, originally titled Folie a Deux, arose out of this ever present burden and the aftermath of the attack on the World Trade Center on 9/11/2001. What if, I imagined, a patient were to share with me information about a possible future terrorist attack? And what if this information was shrouded in sufficient doubt that the consequences of withholding it weren’t clear or compelling? Would the potential magnitude of an unlikely event be enough to breach the confidence of a patient and perhaps even put that patient in legal or physical jeopardy?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I framed my story against a backdrop of a psychotic patient who heard voices and experienced delusions of persecution that altered his perception of reality. What might a psychiatrist believe about a tale of treachery told by someone with such an unreliable and distorted view of his world? And it occurred to me that if the doctor was also hallucinating and delusional, assessing the validity of the threat would become even more daunting.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I wrote a half dozen chapters starting in 2005 along with some character backstories, got stuck and filed it away while I continued to practice psychiatry. After retirement from practice, I turned again to writing, veering into science fiction, and completed the Brink of Life Trilogy in fits and starts over much of the past decade. The blank canvas of the future fed my imagination and the stories began to flow with increasing ease.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the fall of 2019, I stumbled upon the nearly forgotten file of Folie a Deux. Having drawn my trilogy to a close and honed my storytelling craft, I embraced the project with new confidence. And I brought to the task a new perspective, venturing into the first person, writing entirely through the eyes of my protagonist, and balancing the constraint of that limited perspective with the freedom of living in my character’s head and experiencing his world fully. The story grew organically, expanding beyond its original framework into a full blown thriller.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;How Did You Come up With Your Characters?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
My main character, a psychiatrist, is a reflection of my career experience, although he is only my alter-ego when explaining how the mind works. The ethnicity of my other characters was dictated by their roles in the story. And since OCD is one of my special areas of expertise, writing about a character with OCD was both natural and fun. I would also consider Maine, one of my favorite places, almost as a character. The chapters set in Maine that included the character Otis were written during a vacation there. Ayuh.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Book Sample&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
“Wake up, Zack.” My eyes flicked open. I’d been in a deep sleep. The voice must have been the tail end of a vivid dream. I tapped my phone to see the time: 2:35 AM. I closed my eyes, took some cleansing breaths, and drifted back to sleep.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I told you to wake up.” A woman’s voice. Loud, insistent. This time, I got out of bed and turned on the lights. I’d have to awaken fully to purge the thread of this dream from my consciousness. It was still three hours before it was time to get up. I went into the kitchen and poured a cup of milk.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“You know she likes you.” The same woman’s voice. It had to be coming from my phone. A butt call or a video playing in the background. I looked at the screen. It was dark. I tapped the phone. Nothing was open. I turned it off.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“You think she’s hot, too.” Someone was playing a horrible prank. I valued my privacy and didn’t have any of the listening modules that people put in their homes to interact with their devices. The only other possibility was my computer. I shut it off, too.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“You can’t just turn me off. I’m part of you.” She laughed. “I’m under your skin…just like she is.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Shut up!” I screamed. “Get out. Whoever you are.” But there was nobody in sight. I went from room to room, turning on all the lights. I was alone.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“He’s right, you know. You and Jamilah. In your head, you’ve already screwed her.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My hands were trembling. Sweat was dripping from my armpits down my sides and from my forehead into my eyes, clouding my vision. My legs began wobbling, which made my whole body shake. I struggled to catch my breath and felt pressure like someone was pressing a blunt object against the center of my chest. I felt like I was dying. No, not dying…a panic attack. I’d never had one, but I’d heard many patients describe the symptoms. That’s what it was. The voice was just an embellishment, fashioned by my conscience.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I began to count my breathing to slow it down, then focused on its rhythm. The trembling stilled. The pressure released. My vision cleared. The voice was gone. I finished drinking the milk and went back to bed. The next sound I heard was the rippling alarm sound on my phone, telling me it was time to get up.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I shook off sleep and got ready for the day. The disturbance in the night left me more fatigued than usual, but I was grateful that the voice was gone.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All I could think about during my rounds in the hospital was whether Joe would show up at my office that afternoon. When I got to the office, I checked his appointment time: Two o’clock. I finished seeing my first patient of the afternoon and looked in the waiting room. He wasn’t there. I went back to my office and watched the clock, waiting for my receptionist to signal his arrival. By 2:30 I began to despair that he’d ever show up.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“What did you think?” said a voice that seemed to come from across the room. “Why should he trust you? You want to screw his wife.” My breath stopped short. I felt as though I was being strangled.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Another panic attack,” I thought. Then I heard laughter.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Think what you want,” said the voice. “I’m not just part of your panic attack.”&lt;/p&gt;

James&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A Murder for Christmas is the third in the popular Miss Riddell Cozy Mysteries series. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Miss Riddell has returned to her parents’ home to nurse her sick mother. It’s Christmas 1962, northern England, and the worst winter for decades. If that isn’t bad enough, there’s a crime spree in the village, a forged will that will bring ruin to the neighborhood, and her first love, a roguish cousin, has just been murdered. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Can Miss Riddell solve the mysterious crime wave before she becomes one of its victims?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;What Inspired You to Write Your Book?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
My love of cozy murder mysteries, especially Miss Marple stories, led me to start writing my own based on Miss Marple and borrowing heavily from my aunts when I was growing up who were Miss Marple personified. The setting for this story was a Galapagos cruise we took some years ago and loved. Unfortunately, South American politics is often violent and I saw the opportunity to bring together the cruise and the politics in a cozy mystery.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;How Did You Come up With Your Characters?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
My heroine, Miss Riddell, is growing into the &#x27;Miss Marple&#x27; I know and love. Agatha Christie doesn&#x27;t explain how Miss Marple got her start in life, I&#x27;m laying out Miss Riddell&#x27;s start for my readers in this set of stories. One day, she&#x27;ll solve mysteries without leaving her village, perhaps.&lt;br/&gt;
The old cynic, Chief Inspector Ramsay, is very much me.&lt;br/&gt;
Miss Riddell&#x27;s parents, her brother, and the villagers are based on members of my own extended family living and growing up in northern England.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Book Sample&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
“You have to, Sis,” Alan said, “I said you would.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Why did you do that?” Pauline said angrily. Alan was the last word in obnoxious older brothers. Even as a kid, he was forever getting his younger siblings in trouble with one lunatic scheme after another. Weren’t the older kids supposed to be more mature than the younger ones? Pauline was sure there was a popular expression to that effect.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“It will be easy for you,” Alan said. “Look at how you’re always solving murders and such for the police. This is simple compared to that. Some small local disturbances are all we’re asking you to solve. It will take you a matter of hours. It won’t even disturb your holiday.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Her holiday. Two weeks with Mum and Dad on the farm over a cold and increasingly snowy Christmas, with Mum ill and Dad laid up. Some holiday! Now this idiot, her blasted brother, had promised her time looking into silly pranks in his village five miles away. With the roads the way they were and the weather the way it was, how could she do that without moving in with Alan and his wife, Bessie?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I’m not doing it, Alan. Mum and dad need me here, not over at Goathland, chasing naughty children.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Me and Jim will come to the farm every day to look after the beasts,” Alan said, “and you’ll have it all sorted out in a day, likely.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This was ridiculous. She’d driven down to her family home only the night before, straight after work, taking this Saturday morning off work to be here earlier. It had been a frightening journey with snow on the roads here in the Dales. On the high ground, a wicked wind swirled the snow in the headlamps, blinding her view through the icy windscreen. And there’d been few other cars on the road after she’d left the main highway. Now, next morning, when she was barely recovered from her fright, Alan arrives at the farm demanding she leave and solve mysterious events in the village and farms around him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“No,” Pauline said. “You people live there; it will be your children doing this. You local folk sort it out yourselves.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“It’s not the children, Polly,” Alan said, lapsing into the family nickname Pauline hated. “We thought that too at first. But it isn’t. It’s something bigger than it seems.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“In Goathland! What could be big in any way in Goathland?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As she followed him back to his farm, however, she remembered what could be bigger. She couldn’t miss it, or to be precise, them. Stark opal white against low black clouds that threatened yet more snow, the giant ‘golf balls’ of the Fylingdales early warning station loomed menacingly over moor and dale. Placed there by the United States Air Force and operated by the Royal Air Force, they were supposed to give the West fifteen minutes warning should the Soviet Union launch its intercontinental nuclear ballistic missiles, or so it was said. No one knew for sure. They were too secret for real knowledge. Pauline frowned as she tried to keep her eyes on the road and away from the golf balls. Her first investigation (she never said ‘case’ it was too official-sounding) had been about spies, though she hadn’t realized that until the very end. Was this about spies too and should she be thinking about them from the very beginning?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After saying hello to Alan’s wife, Bessie, and the children, Alan said, “We’re going straight to the manor house.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Why?” Pauline asked, bewildered. The family at the manor hadn’t been mentioned in Alan’s earlier list of odd incidents.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Because they have a story to tell I think you should hear.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Leaving her own car in the yard of Alan’s farm, Pauline climbed into his Land Rover and they set off back up the farm road to the country lane that connected the farms along this dale with the outside world.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“What’s this all about, Alan?” Pauline asked, as she pulled her coat, scarf, and collar closer around her. The Land Rover’s heating was making no impression on the air temperature inside the cab, not that Alan seemed to notice. She wished she offered to drive in her own comfortable Wolseley, with its better seats and heating.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Mr. Thornton will explain,” he said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“What has it to do with the incidents you told me about?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Not sure. Maybe nothing. I think it does but you’ll have to decide for yourself.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pauline gritted her teeth and stared out of the window. The afternoon looked like it promised more snow by the time they were returning home. Maybe the Land Rover with its four-wheel drive was the better choice for this journey. As it bumped over the frozen, rutted farm road, however, jarring every bone in her body, she found that little comfort. And imagining the drive back to her parents’ farm through snow-covered roads in her own car gave her the shudders.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Fiore is the (chemically enhanced) muscle; Zeus is the (super-genius) brains. Together, they’re out to become the greatest interstellar bounty hunters ever. Along the path to fame and fortune, they’ll accumulate contacts, partners, and enemies without meaning to. It’s all part of the job as they chase the biggest bounty the galaxy has ever seen while trying to best rival bounty hunters, including one so feared and respected he is simply known as The Legend.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;What Inspired You to Write Your Book?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
Bounty hunters hold a special place in the hearts of many people. The ability to act upon your own set of morals without the potential oppression of suffocating laws holds a certain appeal. Then add the extra freedom of easy space travel with the ability to hop from world to world and interact freely with different species and cultures? Some might consider it paradise. We wanted to explore that. Plus, we&#x27;ve both watched Star Wars about hundred times.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;How Did You Come up With Your Characters?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
For a good partnership, there have to be quite a few commonalities between the two people involved; for a compelling partnership that people want to read about, there have to be quite a few differences between the two people involved. Fiore and Zeus want to be the best bounty hunters possible because they view the profession as a form of law enforcement where they can help remove criminals from society. Fiore is more of the loud, brash, jump feet first bounty hunter seen in many comic books and anime while Zeus is far more cerebral. And the two have a good deal of secrets that they&#x27;re keeping from each other.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr/&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Book Sample&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
Time froze for Zeus. Everything just stopped.&lt;br/&gt;
    In the past few days, he had found the adventure he&#x27;d sought in his life. Not quite in the ways he had imagined, but adventure hardly came as one might expect. But he never expected to be jumping out of a window, willingly inviting a three-story plummet, hand-in-hand with a rival bounty hunter. This moment was one he would never forget, assuming he survived any longer than the few seconds of descent. &lt;br/&gt;
    He didn&#x27;t breathe; couldn&#x27;t. His heart didn&#x27;t offer a single beat. Neither sweat nor chill could be measured. He heard nothing. Just one frozen image of being almost thirty feet over the packed stands of the small arena.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In When Goodbye Begins: life takes over, author-filmmaker – Geeta Lal Sahai actively involved in mental health advocacy rips apart the stereotypical existence. These five stories are about mental health, innumerable lanes and layers of memories, childhood abuse, infidelity, betrayal, hopelessness, and hidden emotions. There is pathos, feelings, inner conflict and stoic acceptance.&lt;br/&gt;
In the title story – When Goodbye Begins, a middle-aged woman, caught between her dreams and the present reality of being a caregiver to her husband, walks on a tightrope. Through her eyes, we experience the broken and painful world of people with Alzheimer’s and their families. In Walking on Ice Sheet in Pencil Heels, the story captures the protagonist Sheena’s struggle with her identity and the frightening and fascinating world of bipolar disorder. In Death of a Memory, Rashi facing betrayal and infidelity, fights with her memories to face the world. In another story – If Only I Could Tell, the author recounts the painful and traumatic world of the child sexual abuse survivor who keeps running away from love, people and self. Caught in the web of childhood abuse, the author, through her protagonist, poignantly shows the long-term ramifications of broken trust and bruised body.&lt;br/&gt;
In all five stories, Geeta exquisitely crafts the inner turmoil of her characters. The world of characters in these stories is gripping, and there’s a world within a world.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;What Inspired You to Write Your Book?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
My journey as a writer begins by thinking beyond what is visible. My stories talk about reality, real characters and their grief. I see what they do not tell the world. And it is this aspect that I portray in my work. Through my characters’ grief, loss and memories, I capture elusive moments of grace and beauty surrounding our pain. I believe that nothing is as powerful as grief to test our character and patience. It is generally said – ‘move on’ – whenever we face obstacles, betrayal in our lives. But I think the truth is we never ‘move on’; we move ahead with our memories.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;more-403407&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;How Did You Come up With Your Characters?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
As a mental health campaigner, often I meet people whose world has shrunk, and even otherwise, I listen to personal narratives while meeting people. After listening to them, I always feel that each of us is fighting a battle hidden behind the smileys. This realization motivates me to carve characters, give them a name and as a companion, travel with my fictional characters, giving them hope to push forward howsoever distorted the truth is. In reality, those people may not have done so, but on paper, I make my fictional characters move forward with hope even when circumstances are adverse.&lt;/p&gt;

Excerpt from the story – When Goodbye Begins:&lt;br/&gt;
Innumerable little voices begin to prick me. I keep staring at the ceiling, picking up bits and pieces from the rubble of memories, memories beyond time. And as the frosted recollections begin to imprison me, the doctor’s words reverberate, “He is living on borrowed time. For him, every day is a gift. Alzheimer’s has eaten his mind and soul. The truth is that as long as there is memory, there is hope, possibility. However, as memory fades, nothing matters. The past doesn’t matter; the future doesn’t exist. Everything is just a breath away, life, memories, death, so let him live for today.”&lt;br/&gt;
I close my eyes, and once again, the doctor’s words echo, “As long as there is memory, there is hope, possibility. However, as memory fades, nothing matters. The past doesn’t matter; the future doesn’t exist.”&lt;br/&gt;
I decide not to let the vestiges of pain, sorrow, doubt, anguish, or the fractured memories of our lives spent together distract me from the realities of the present…&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What Is The Secret To Success?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Doesn’t it seem like Successful people know something you don’t?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Have you ever noticed leaders look at life differently than the average population?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’m not talking about just making a lot of money. I’m talking about real success. True happiness. What is the secret to success? What do other leaders know that you don’t?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you’re the type of person, who knows you deserve more in life, I’d like to share what brought me to write the book, “How To Be Successful: Think Like A Leader”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By the time I was 27 years old, I was the owner of several companies in various industries, including medical, fashion, manufacturing, distribution, and pharmaceuticals. I had become successful at a young age. Life was great!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Everything changed when I started having daily grand mal seizures. In 2010, I was diagnosed with brain cancer. Oncologists gave me only 60-90 days to live. I lost absolutely everything as I became unable to drive, live alone, or remember small details such as if I’d eaten or taken an insulin shot. Everything I had researched, the businesses I had built, and even my memory were gone.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My family took me to Tijuana, Mexico, to pursue alternative treatments. Uncertain whether I’d survive or not, I was inspired to make a difference in as many lives as possible.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I began contacting leaders I admired and asking questions. How To Be Successful: Think Like A Leader is a compilation of true stories &amp;amp; conversations with entrepreneurs to help you in your journey to success.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Highlights:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;more-403419&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A self-made millionaire shares how he went from being homeless to owning a Ferrari.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Stop taking ownership of misfortune and become successful with the resources you have.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;US Navy SEAL Team Sniper Jeff Wobig shares his morning routine and the simple steps he takes to absolutely maximize every single day.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When asked about a weakness or personal character flaw in Chapter 12, Paul Watson said, “I’m a believer that nobody will allow themselves to lose forever. You can look at somebody when they go through a divorce. When somebody leaves a marriage, many times, they’re saying, “I’m not going to put up with losing all the time.” They feel like they’re always losing in the relationship. The other person walks on them and mistreats them. So, what I’ve come to find out is this: being competitive is terrific as long as everybody wins, but when you win at the expense of other people, then it’s no longer a good trait, but it’s a character flaw. It’s a weakness. So, I’m working on that loyalty piece, saying, “How do we all win? How are we all – for each other?”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;HOW DO YOU SAVE YOUR BROTHERS TRICKED INTO KILLING YOU?&lt;br/&gt;
Yoake Hibana (Dawn’s Spark in English) is a female Yakuza assassin of the Rising Dragon Clan. Her moniker was the Demure Assassin. She was a peak assassin. The only problem with her was she was a ‘her’. Females were mothers, daughters, or mistresses in the Yakuza. Being a soldier was unheard of.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One day after a certain assassination, she checked the dojo for security and happened upon her leader, the oyabun. She heard what she shouldn’t have.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;About the book:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;USA Today Bestselling Author, Kelly Gendron brings you an addictive, suspenseful romance that will blow your mind! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ownership of another human being is forbidden&lt;br/&gt;
I know. I’ve worked undercover in the human trafficking ring for years&lt;br/&gt;
But when Jinx Collins kidnaps me&lt;br/&gt;
I become what I hunt&lt;br/&gt;
I want to own her&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I hadn’t expected Jinx Collins to abduct me. I’m not sure how I feel about the U.S. Marshal’s flirty smiles and sultry eyes. Not sure if she irritates me or if she’s awakening my darkest desires. I know that before I act on anything, I need to find out why she kidnapped a murderer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Outspoken, free-spirited, and fearless, that’s me- Jinx Collins. It’s that same fearlessness that tends to get me into trouble. Adopted, I have questions about my past. The person with the answers, well, he’s about to transfer into the witness protection program. I know it’s not smart, and a little crazy, but I kidnapped him for the day.&lt;br/&gt;
Issue #1 I stole the wrong man!&lt;br/&gt;
Issue #2 I want the sexy bastard I stole!&lt;br/&gt;
Issue #3 Issue number 2 is messing up everything!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Locked away in a dark basement, a boy awaits rescue. Jinx’s past holds the key to his prison. If she can find the truth. If Jed Zayne can forgive himself for his past, then they might be able to save the boy…&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;b&gt;About Featured Book:  Leveled Up – Your Guide to the World of Investing by J Hopkin&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Books about investing are a dime a dozen. They’re great if you’re interested in the author’s personal strategies and theories, but often you’ll find that without a core understanding of investing, what worked for them bears no resemblance to what could work for you. The simple fact is you need to create your own strategy, based off a decent understanding of the basics of investing.&lt;br/&gt;
Leveled Up is the quintessential guide for novice investors, millennials, and the Gen-Z folks who want to learn the fundamentals of investing in a clear, concise format, that makes sense to them.&lt;br/&gt;
This book offers more than just theories and provides step-by-step information on what successful investors know about the investing process. You’ll find:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;    • The basics of asset types and classes&lt;br/&gt;
    • Information about core holdings vs trades&lt;br/&gt;
    • Explanations of financial markets and how they work&lt;br/&gt;
    • Crucial information about economic and market cycles&lt;br/&gt;
    • Understanding asset-class and sector rotations&lt;br/&gt;
    • Evaluation methods including technical analysis and real estate&lt;br/&gt;
    • How to read and understand financial statements&lt;br/&gt;
    • How to understand how we are taxed and different types of income&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Separated in infancy, rediscovered by chance, can they unravel a mystery and find a way to reunite?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wistful and passionate, the wayward Cecile d’Armagnac has enjoyed the indulgent childhood of a French noble, but life for the young woman is about to change when she learns of her sister.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Catherine Pembroke, a naive novice, has endured a lonely existence behind convent walls, but when Cecile’s letter is intercepted by the malicious Earl of Salisbury, the shy nun is thrust into a dangerous and foreign world. Placed into the custody of a cynical knight, Simon Marshall, Catherine struggles to unravel a past that threatens her future as William of Salisbury begins his own hunt – after the girls – hoping to use them as pawns in his desperate quest for power.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Trapped by one of England’s most powerful lords, Cecile yields to him to save her sister. She flees with the aid of the Prince’s courier, Gillet de Bellegarde, but will her journey see her lose all she holds dear, or just her heart?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In an age when women have no control over their lives, Cecile and Catherine find themselves immersed into political turbulence, intrigue, danger and romance. Their hopes of meeting are thwarted by the powerful men around them – even as they provide both distraction and passion, for none appear to be who they claim.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Lily and the Lion will catapult you into a world when knighthood was revered and love was to be cherished.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;What Inspired You to Write Your Book?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
The authors Catherine A Wilson and Catherine T Wilson met online by chance via a writers group. Having emailed each other for three years, they decided to base the premise of their first novel, The Lily and the Lion, on their long distance friendship. It was not until they were part way through writing their third novel, before they finally met.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;more-403316&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;How Did You Come up With Your Characters?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
The female protagonists, Catherine Pembroke and Cecile d&#x27;Armagnac are sisters, who were separated in infancy. Cecile is raised by a wealthy family in France whilst Catherine lives in poverty, in England. The authors choose to place their characters apart, in the same way they themselves were, writing to each other and building a friendship at great distance. Both Catherine A Wilson and Catherine T Wilson (who are not related) share a love of medieval history so choose to place their characters in the time period that they both related to.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Book Sample&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
‘Poxy, whoring, conceited bastards.’&lt;br/&gt;
Cécile d’Armagnac spun to confront her father, her anger far from spent. ‘My betrothal to the Duc de Berri is severed without explanation. Am I to greet this news with lines of poetry, Sir? The Dauphin craves the alliance of Armagnac and I know his brother desires me, so what malady ails them?’ She slammed her gem-encrusted goblet down. ‘Merde! I was to wear gold Luccan brocade and the finest rubies in France. Instead I shall be the laughing stock of the court!’&lt;br/&gt;
‘Sheathe your tongue, girl! I am yet your father.’ Jean d’Armagnac’s stomach churned at his own words. He sank onto the stool and stared for a moment at the rich tapestries decorating his daughter’s royal chamber. Then he drew a deep breath. ‘The Dauphin still requires the alliance of Armagnac. Duc de Berri will marry your sister, Jeanne, and I am here to give you explanations.’&lt;br/&gt;
‘Jeanne? Mother of God. She is a milksop! A snivelling baby. She’s more likely to wet the Duc’s bed!’&lt;br/&gt;
‘Céci,’ groaned Comte d’Armagnac, ‘give me a little peace.’ &lt;br/&gt;
Cécile heard the defeat in her father’s voice and sharply swung around. This parent was everything to her. With growing alarm she noted his drooping shoulders and the dark smudges beneath his eyes. His whole bearing slouched rather than sat.&lt;br/&gt;
‘Papa! You are ill.’ Almost tripping over her velvet hem she kneeled at his feet and laid her cheek in his lap. She gently kissed his hands. ‘Forgive me, Papa. Forgive my wicked temper. Tell me what grieves you so?’&lt;br/&gt;
Jean d’Armagnac withdrew his warrior-calloused palm and stroked the honey-blonde hair. ‘The truth, daughter. And it is you who must forgive me. The Dauphin was right to break your troth, and the fault is mine alone. For years I have lacked the courage to speak.’ He lifted her chin the meet the clear, blue gaze. &#x27;Cécile, you were a gift to me beyond my expectations, but you come not from my loins. Your blood is not Armagnac.’ &lt;br/&gt;
Cécile stared in open-mouthed bewilderment. She drew back slowly, her eyes glazed. ‘I am not Armagnac?’&lt;br/&gt;
‘No.’&lt;br/&gt;
‘Then Jean le Bossu and Armand …’&lt;br/&gt;
‘Are not your true brother and cousin.’&lt;br/&gt;
‘And you …’ The breath caught in her chest and was squeezed from her in a murmur. ‘God have mercy.’ She rose unsteadily and walked to the casement to stare beyond the palace walls, her hands clutched over her heart, a shield against the pain. ‘You are telling me that for nineteen years I have lived a lie?’&lt;br/&gt;
‘Seventeen. You came to me in your second summer.’&lt;br/&gt;
‘Tell me,’ she whispered. &lt;br/&gt;
Comte d’Armagnac watched the hurt on his daughter’s face and muttered an oath. God knew he loved her as his own. No. That was a blatant lie. He loved her more but only God, his priest and he were privy to that. Had he been compensating for this one day all along? He’d allowed her uncommon free will in her youth and suffered the ridicule of his neighbours. As her sisters had toiled over needlework, this unfettered daughter had ridden the countryside in play with her foster brother and cousin, her eloquent tongue the result. He had never wished to curtail her spirit. He knew one day she might need it. &lt;br/&gt;
 ‘It was long ago,’ he began, ‘when I received a message from a Lady Mary St Pol, Countess of Pembroke, urging me to meet with her. Her father, Guy de Châtillon, was from one of the most notable families in the north and Lady Mary had a strong connection to the Clermonts, my wife&#x27;s kin. Fearing some scandal was about to fall upon us, I agreed.’  The Comte stared, his attention rooted to the wall as if apparitions had suddenly appeared upon the grey stones. ‘I will never forget it. We met at the Abbaye de Flaran by Larressingle in the dark of night. I can still see Mary standing there clutching her cloak against the wind, her lips pressed tightly as plainsong echoed from the chapel. She beckoned me to follow her through the cloister, up a stairwell to a private chamber. Her finger raised in a gesture for silence as she stepped to an alcove and swept aside the curtain. There, fast asleep on the palliasse, lay a tiny girl shrouded in a mantle of golden hair.’ He smiled warmly at the memory and a twinkle danced in his eye. ‘She was a scrap of a child but Mary knew how to ensure success. “Her name is Cécile,” she said, “and I want you, Jean d’Armagnac, to keep her for me, in honour of our families’ ties. She has nowhere else to go and I could wish for no other to care for her. The world must know her as your own. Silence any tongues that beg to differ. You must ask me no questions and your goodwill shall be handsomely rewarded.” &lt;br/&gt;
A shadow of tenderness darkened Jean&#x27;s eyes as they fastened upon his daughter. ‘My mother’s name was Cécile. She was a princess. I had no need of questions. I loved you upon the instant.’&lt;br/&gt;
With a sob, the young woman flung herself into his arms, their tears mingling as he rocked her. ‘Forgive me, child. I should have told you the truth long ago but I could never find the right moment.’ &lt;br/&gt;
Cécile slid her arms around her father&#x27;s neck and felt his love engulf her like a warm, soft blanket. Granting the forgiveness he craved, she tenderly kissed his roughened cheek. &lt;br/&gt;
‘Mon père. I love you.’&lt;br/&gt;
‘And I you, Princess.’&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“When it came right down to it, our dream trip felt like falling off a cliff.” &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After early retirement, in 2017 Pam and her husband Dave packed four suitcases and one beer cooler full of insulin and boarded a one-way flight to Italy for a year-long dream trip.&lt;br/&gt;
The dream was to live like locals, find out-of-the-way restaurants, and watch the seasons change.  But behind every dream, there is the reality. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What happened when two people retire from their full-time jobs and realize they have developed separate lives? Is it possible to reconnect, despite the stress of traveling, while living alone together, 24/7, in small apartments? Is there such a thing as too much togetherness? Their dream trip came with other challenges—managing Pam’s Type 1 diabetes, dodging political unrest in Barcelona, and navigating water restrictions in Egypt. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; Through the ups and downs of travel, Pam and Dave start to rebuild their lives together… and look for a little adventure.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Targeted Age Group:&lt;/b&gt;: 18+&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;What Inspired You to Write Your Book?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
When we began planning our year-long dream trip, I spent hours searching for information on HOW to live in Europe for a year.  We had to get a visa, find insulin, make our phones work, and keep in touch with family.  I wrote this book, in part, to help others travel, especially those with medical issues like diabetes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;more-403359&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Book Sample&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
After early retirement we dusted off our plans for a dream trip, a &quot;Bel Sogno&quot; and plunged into a year of turning it into reality. At our “mature” age, we were ready to shake up the routines and put our everyday lives on hold, surprising our blended family of five grown children, who questioned us closely about our plans. We agreed to leave the U.S. in September 2017 and go to Rome in central Italy for six months to spend the fall and winter. Then in 2018, as the weather warmed up, we would move north for six months to Venice to spend the spring and summer before returning to the U.S. in 2018.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Like giddy kids, we bought two one-way tickets to Rome. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Almost immediately, I felt overwhelmed. I had taken Italian language classes off and on for years, but I was not at all fluent. Can reading dozens of guidebooks and travel memoirs really prepare you for this? We would be far from friends and family for an entire year. Would we get homesick?  A lot could go wrong. What do you do with your mail for months at a time, and how do you refill your prescriptions in a foreign country? Our usual doctors and pharmacies would not be available. Complications from diabetes had landed me in the hospital emergency room twice. If that happened in Italy, it could be dangerous. There could be other sudden health emergencies, accidents, or illnesses. What would it be like to live in a small space with Dave, completely alone together, 24/7? Our everyday lives began to look more and more warm, comfortable, and safe.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now that we were leaving everything behind, I realized how much I liked my habits, schedules, and routines. Spontaneous, powerless, messy situations usually made me nervous and uncomfortable. On this trip, I wouldn’t be able to control very much. We were upending our lives, by choice, and I couldn’t clearly see what would replace our norms. Would we even like this new life in a foreign country, or would we want to return home after a month?  When it came right down to it, our dream trip felt like falling off a cliff.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So we held hands and walked over the cliff.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In When Goodbye Begins: life takes over, author-filmmaker – Geeta Lal Sahai actively involved in mental health advocacy rips apart the stereotypical existence. These five stories are about mental health, innumerable lanes and layers of memories, childhood abuse, infidelity, betrayal, hopelessness, and hidden emotions. There is pathos, feelings, inner conflict and stoic acceptance.&lt;br/&gt;
In the title story – When Goodbye Begins, a middle-aged woman, caught between her dreams and the present reality of being a caregiver to her husband, walks on a tightrope. Through her eyes, we experience the broken and painful world of people with Alzheimer’s and their families. In Walking on Ice Sheet in Pencil Heels, the story captures the protagonist Sheena’s struggle with her identity and the frightening and fascinating world of bipolar disorder. In Death of a Memory, Rashi facing betrayal and infidelity, fights with her memories to face the world. In another story – If Only I Could Tell, the author recounts the painful and traumatic world of the child sexual abuse survivor who keeps running away from love, people and self. Caught in the web of childhood abuse, the author, through her protagonist, poignantly shows the long-term ramifications of broken trust and bruised body.&lt;br/&gt;
In all five stories, Geeta exquisitely crafts the inner turmoil of her characters. The world of characters in these stories is gripping, and there’s a world within a world.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;What Inspired You to Write Your Book?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
Reading horrifying news reports every day. Not a single day goes when somewhere some woman’s body is not brutalised. We are living in a toxic world. My characters rebel against the toxicity in their own way and my journey as a writer begins by thinking beyond what is visible. My stories talk about reality, real characters and their grief. I see what they do not tell the world. And it is this aspect that I portray in my work. Through my characters’ grief, loss and memories, I capture elusive moments of grace and beauty surrounding our pain. I believe that nothing is as powerful as grief to test our character, patience and our beliefs. It is generally said – ‘move on’ – whenever we face problems in our lives. But I think the truth is we never ‘move on’; we move ahead with our memories. And it is these memories that I question, the relevance of them in the present.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;How Did You Come up With Your Characters?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
As a mental health campaigner, often I meet people whose world has shrunk, and even otherwise, I listen to personal narratives while meeting people. After listening to them, I always feel that each of us is fighting a battle hidden behind the plastic smiles. This realization motivates me to carve characters, give them a name and as a companion, travel with my fictional characters, giving them hope to push forward howsoever distorted the truth is. In reality, those people may not have done so, but on paper, I make my fictional characters move forward with hope even when circumstances are adverse.&lt;/p&gt;

Excerpt from the title story- When Goodbye Begins: &lt;br/&gt;
Innumerable little voices begin to prick me. I keep staring at the ceiling, picking up bits and pieces from the rubble of memories, memories beyond time. And as the frosted recollections begin to imprison me, the doctor’s words reverberate, “He is living on borrowed time. For him, every day is a gift. Alzheimer’s has eaten his mind and soul. The truth is that as long as there is memory, there is hope, possibility. However, as memory fades, nothing matters. The past doesn’t matter; the future doesn’t exist. Everything is just a breath away, life, memories, death, so let him live for today.”&lt;br/&gt;
I close my eyes, and once again, the doctor’s words echo, “As long as there is memory, there is hope, possibility. However, as memory fades, nothing matters. The past doesn’t matter; the future doesn’t exist.”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;About the Book&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A world built on the tales of dragon kings. Powerful brothers at war. An orphan girl sold as a bride.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Long ago, the Kingdom of Estala was a place of dragons and sorcerers. Those with magical powers were more than human, they were Menti. But now Menti sorcery is outlawed by the capricious king, and those who wield it are hunted down by the fanatical Order of Insight to be made into slaves, or worse, executed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Two young heroes find themselves unwillingly thrown into the centre of these uncertain times. Prince Luca, King Davead’s second son, has always been the sickliest of the royal children, but in a shocking turn of events, Luca finds himself at the heart of a magical power so great it may consume him forever. If he fails to control those powers, he could be put to death by his own father. Reva Avalon grew up believing she would marry her childhood friend, Prince Luca. But after she is orphaned in the Menti uprising, the King of Estala sells her to his most feared general instead. Young and frightened, but still strong-willed, Reva must survive a harsh new life away from the palace.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And in the realm rebellion looms, as do the return of the mighty dragon shifters. Some long for the return of the dragons… others fear it will be the end of the world as it is known.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Having cleared all previous cases, Sammy Greyfox starts a new week with a clean slate. But when she saves a woman from being deliberately run down, a complicated new case starts. This is compounded by a call from the medical examiner questioning whether the body on his mortuary table was really killed by accident. Not yet eight in the morning and already she has two homicides to handle.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She could never have predicted it, but the two cases come together, and it that weren’t enough, her Sergeant is working another case where someone is discarding newborn children’s bodies in the Mangrove and Sammy begins to wonder if the cases aren’t all connected. If she’s right, there will be a race against the clock to prevent further deaths. But can she get there in time?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If only her personal life were settled – but it’s not. Throughout each of the following days she struggles with personal issues, one of which may result in her taking a life. But would she be able to deal with the consequences?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;What Inspired You to Write Your Book?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
I wanted to write a book in first-person, and thought I might as well try a female hero as trhe main character. So this has been a fun double challenge. Feedback from people to help me understand how well (or otherwise) I have achieved these two tasks, would be gratefully appreciated.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;more-400818&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;How Did You Come up With Your Characters?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
I wanted a character with a complicated personal life, but also someone strong enough to handle complex homicides. By choosing a female lead, I think I have the best of both worlds. Someone smart and determined, but emotionally struggling with a variety of challenges in her personal life. Also, as the story is based in Naples, Florida, I have chosen a Native American which allows me to explore a little of  the culture in the Seminole Nation,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Book Sample&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
My black and white was still in my reserved space, but someone had slashed all four tires and it was sitting on the rims.&lt;br/&gt;
So much for an early start. I call this in and wait a full half-hour for a tow-truck to arrive. The guy was still loading the car when a B&amp;amp;W pulled in and my least favorite deputy grinned at me from behind the wheel. This man didn’t even need to speak to wind me up, and I fought the surge of adrenaline in my bloodstream, but I was ready for a fight. No doubt about it.&lt;br/&gt;
He threw a couple of stupid one-liners my way, but I stayed cool. I became that helpless sixteen-year-old and asked him if he could climb up onto the tow truck and recover my Glock from the front seat.&lt;br/&gt;
His expression said it all. I was pathetic, and he was God’s gift to pathetic women. Of course he would. All this without saying a word.&lt;br/&gt;
He climbed out of the B&amp;amp;W and up onto the rear of the tow truck.&lt;br/&gt;
I jumped into the B&amp;amp;W, threw it into reverse and shot backwards out of the parking area in front of my high-rise, spinning the car around, and before he could even react, I left him sucking exhaust and smoking rubber.&lt;br/&gt;
I could see him in the rear-view, jumping up and down on the tow truck, his face red, shouting and waving his fists after me.&lt;br/&gt;
Suddenly, the day didn’t seem so bad anymore. In fact, it felt downright great.&lt;/p&gt;

If you are a bar patron who’s always wondered what the bartender is thinking, here’s your chance to look behind the curtain. &lt;/p&gt;

Barflies is a memoir. I bartending in the middle of nowhere California for three years. The experience shaped the person I am today.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Book Sample&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
Barflies – A Bartenders Memoir is a work in two parts. For a period of three years I bartended at two different locations at the same time. Some nights I worked at a rickety dive bar that was more desert dust than anything else. Other nights I bartended at a golf resort. I am keeping the names of the facilities and people anonymous.  Everything in this memoir is a hundred percent true, every naughty, tawdry, and head-scratching bit of it. &lt;br/&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A tortured gunfighter. A Navajo outcast. – And the Creature whose claws would stain the stones of the Mojave red.&lt;br/&gt;
Flush with raw silver and ruled by a baron with an iron fist, the tiny mining outpost of Shank’s Point is under siege by a sinister evil.&lt;br/&gt;
When the rising sun reveals the claw-torn bodies littered among the rocks, John Swift-Runner calls on his old friend, a vagabond gunfighter, to stand with him against the slaughter he knows will come.&lt;br/&gt;
But as their band of misfits hunts for the creature on the burning sands of the Mojave, they stumble into a generations old mystery that goes beyond shamanic curses and into the bloodstained pages of legend.&lt;br/&gt;
Can the killing be stopped?&lt;br/&gt;
And can a tortured gunman like Kit Barker – with a terrible secret of his own – prevail against something as savage and eternal as the Beast?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;What Inspired You to Write Your Book?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
Writing Shadow of Wolves was about creating the story I wanted to read. It was probably around 2004 that I picked up a paperback somewhere that promised a “cowboys versus monsters” adventure and was just utterly disappointed with it. The cowboys were simply dudes with big hats and the monster turned out to be swamp gas or something. It bothered me so much that I decided to write the story I had imagined when I saw that simple premise. Ultimately it became much more than that as characters and scenarios came to life, but at its core my writing is about telling the stories I would want to hear.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;more-403325&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;How Did You Come up With Your Characters?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
It depends on the character&#x27;s place in the story. Protagonists are a mixture of the traits I find most admirable and the flaws most likely to hinder them. Villains and antagonists are based on the traits I find most appalling but tempered by a sense of what would reasonably accomplish their goals. And with all characters, I strive to give them traits that are realistic and human.&lt;/p&gt;

A bolt of pain shot up through Cannon’s body as the horse halted, lurching him forward in the saddle.&lt;br/&gt;
     The mare snorted and laid her ears back against her head. Her hooves shuffled nervous furrows in the dirt and the whites of her eyes shone in the dark. Cannon looked around, realizing for the first time how fast the night had come. &lt;br/&gt;
     “Easy, girl,” Cannon hissed through cracked and swollen lips, “easy now.”&lt;br/&gt;
      A growing sense of unease rose in Cannon’s throat as he turned in his saddle and surveyed the night. The deep shadows of evening seemed to shift and move, groaning against their natural boundaries. He swallowed.&lt;br/&gt;
     It’s all in your head, Tim, he thought. He should find a place to stop the night and build a fire. But not here, he thought as he looked through the darkness. Maybe he could find a better place to camp up ahead.&lt;br/&gt;
     Cannon touched his spurs to the mare and the animal cautiously stepped forward. Its head held low, almost cowering. They reached a gully in the desert floor and Cannon guided his mount towards it, but the mare refused to move into the ditch. She snorted and whinnied, tossing her head and stamping her hooves against the ground.&lt;br/&gt;
     “Alright, damnit,” Cannon hissed, turning his horse to the right and cresting back up on the trail.&lt;br/&gt;
     There must be a coyote around, Cannon mused. Or maybe apaches, he thought as a cold fear crept into his mouth. Had there been any trouble with Indians near Shank’s Point? He tried to remember if he had heard of any and decided he had not. His fear began to subside.&lt;br/&gt;
     Then Cannon heard the scraping rasp of claws on stone from the brush to his left.&lt;br/&gt;
     The mare stiffened under the saddle and sidestepped awkwardly. Cannon struggled to keep the animal under control with only his right arm. The mare was on the edge of panic, and Cannon could feel the horse’s terror seeping into himself as well.&lt;br/&gt;
     Tim Cannon slid one of his revolvers from the holster with his swollen fingers and aimed it into the night. He could only see a few yards, but he aimed in the direction his horse was staring and waited.&lt;br/&gt;
     There came a wet hissing sound from beneath him, and the stale smell of urine as his horse vented her bladder into the sand.&lt;br/&gt;
     Then Cannon heard it. A low growl rumbled through the brush and shadow, and the pounding footfalls of something racing across the sand – something fast and heavy.&lt;br/&gt;
    Cannon felt the pistol buck in his hand, roaring into the silence and splashing fire over the night.&lt;br/&gt;
     In the bright flash of the muzzle flare, Cannon saw it coming – and it was no coyote.&lt;br/&gt;
     As darkness collapsed back in on them, the mare turned and bolted over the sand. Cannon instinctively grabbed at the saddle horn with his broken arm – felt the searing pain as the fractures crackled – and clung tight, all hope of controlling the horse now gone. Over the rasping snort of the mare’s breath, he could hear the beast pursuing.&lt;br/&gt;
     He turned in the saddle and fired twice more. The first muzzle flash threw light over the dark form closing in behind, and then in the second flash it was gone.&lt;br/&gt;
     For a moment, Cannon let himself believe he had hit the thing.&lt;br/&gt;
     A crashing in the brush on his left brought his attention around. There it was beside him, running abreast of the panicked horse. It turned its great head and looked at him, its yellow eyes aflame in the darkness.&lt;br/&gt;
     Cannon thumbed back the hammer on his pistol, tried to aim, but the horse was bounding over rock and brush and as the hammer fell, he knew he had missed.&lt;br/&gt;
     The creature roared at him and angled away from the galloping mare and vanishing into the shadows. Cannon struggled to aim again, fear and adrenaline soaked through his body.&lt;br/&gt;
     Suddenly, the beast reappeared on a rock outcropping ahead of them and off to the left. Cannon leveled the pistol on the massive lupine head. &lt;br/&gt;
     The beast just stood there, waiting.&lt;br/&gt;
     Before Cannon could squeeze the trigger, he felt the sick lurch of gravity leaving his gut. Even as he fell, Cannon knew the mare had run off an outcropping and into space. What was more, somehow, he knew that the beast had planned it.&lt;br/&gt;
     They struck the desert floor with a shattering crash. The mare screamed – a shrill and horrible sound – as both her front shanks broke, and she ploughed headfirst into the ground. Her neck snapped and the weight of her carcass rolled through the dirt. Cannon was flung free from the saddle and struck the ground with a rolling bounce. The air was forced from his lungs and pinpoints of light burst across his eyes. He slammed into the side of a cactus, his body crushing the plant and spraying pulp on the stones.&lt;br/&gt;
     Cannon lay on the sand, certain that the beast would come for him. Darkness swelled around the edges of his vision, and gratefully he passed out.&lt;/p&gt;

This 60-day devotional is written to help those women who desire marriage but still find themselves single.

With raw, honest and vulnerable devotions, Single Yesterday and Still Single Today will help single women to embrace their single journeys and continue to trust God for marriage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Targeted Age Group:&lt;/b&gt;: 18-45&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;What Inspired You to Write Your Book?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
I wrote this book because there are many devotionals available. There are many devotionals geared toward women but just not enough for single women. Many devotionals are related to marriage. Many are written to help couples having difficulties in their marriage. However, what about those single women who need encouragement in their single season. I wrote this because I don’t won’t single women to be overlooked.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I know single men need just as much encouragement as single women but I wrote the devotional from my perspective as a single woman. Christianity and society put a tremendous amount of pressure on women to be married. Often individuals ask “what’s wrong with her” anytime a woman is not married. Many women desire to be married but choose to wait on God to bring them marriage. It can be very discouraging for a woman to continue year after year to remain single. This devotional is written to help encourage single women who find themselves saying Single Yesterday and Still Single Today.&lt;/p&gt;

Day 1&lt;br/&gt;
There is Nothing Wrong with You&lt;br/&gt;
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven. &lt;br/&gt;
Ecclesiastes 3:1 NIV&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Am I too nice? Is it my personality? Is it something about my clothes or maybe my body? I know some of these thoughts have crossed your mind. Quite frankly these thoughts have probably crossed your mind on several occasions. When you’ve been single for so long, your mind tells you that you are the problem. Thoughts that there is something wrong with you can try to fill your mind. You think that you must be the reason why you are still single. You must be defective. Let me tell you a little secret. There is nothing wrong with you!&lt;br/&gt;
God has designed you and made you just the way He wanted to make you. It’s time you stop thinking something is wrong with you and remember what the verse says: There is a time and season for everything. You are not married yet because it isn’t God’s appointed time for you to get married. God knows your desire for marriage and won’t let you down. Although you want to be married right now, God has other plans. God will decide when the time is right for you to get married. God’s timing is so much better than our own. Just think about how many times you wanted to do something right then and there, but God kept you from doing it. As you look back now, you thank God that He delayed you. The things we obtain by waiting on God’s timing is always better than if we would have obtained them in our own timing. God will bring you your husband at the appointed time and season. As you wait on God continue to trust in His timing and not your own.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lord, thank you for preparing a time and season for everything. Help me to wait on your timing. Assist me with trusting in your timing and not my own. Give me the confidence to know that there is nothing wrong with me. Even when I’m discouraged, allow me to remember you have a time and season for everything. Amen.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Love drives perfectly rational people insane.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sexy ER doctor Riel Jones has vowed to never fall in love.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Love has other plans.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Riel is a workaholic and has no time for love. So, of course, he is skeptical when his friend announces that her aunt has cursed all the participants of their doctor-filled group chat to fall in love within 6 months. The last thing the doctor expects is to fall for his feisty, beautiful, and down-on-her-luck tenant, Donna Myers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Donna has had a few hard knocks throughout her life but is determined to turn her life around. When the sexy doctor offers her help, she cannot help but look twice at the man despite dating a man who promised her marriage.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This story is of an unlikely yet powerful attraction between a man with a need to control the uncontrollable and a woman determined to play it safe. But are the feelings between them truly love or the work of magic?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;What Inspired You to Write Your Book?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
Cursed To Love is just one out of seven books from my series Doctors in Love. The genre for the series is medical romance, basically contemporary romance revolved around doctors. The entire series is meant to be a collection of easy-to-digest romance stories. There’s no special story behind why I decided to use this type of setting, it just came to mind suddenly how career men and women like doctors may tend to stay uncommitted to romance especially with work constantly on their minds. That thought made me suddenly this, “Oh but, what if there was a prompt for romance?” and from there I built the silly prompt, the characters, and their respective stories.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;more-403302&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;How Did You Come up With Your Characters?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
Well, first I went through the different branches of medicine practice that I could use for their professions. And then from there I try to think of their possible individual deficits when it comes to romance and the “ideal” type of partner that can break down their walls.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Book Sample&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
Riel heard his name being called over the intercom and knew that his break was over. Being assigned to the ER, Riel was used to the fast pace and high-stress levels, but this was ridiculous. Normally, he thrived under pressure, but he was feeling off today. It was a bother that he could not identify the cause. He was in the middle of his third straight shift because the hospital was short-staffed. He had only come into the locker room to have a bite of his favorite candy. He was stressed, and so his sweet tooth was acting up. The ER was littered with more people than usual today. He was only still running because of the coffee machine in the common area the hospital staff shared.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He glanced at the messages one last time as he put the remainder of the candy bar back into his backpack. The only person whose input was missing was Danrick, but that was not unusual. The man had decided to drop off the grid for a few weeks. He did so every year. Even though they had all been friends for more than 8 years, the man was still mysterious and brooding.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Riel&#x27;s name was called again, and his fingers flew across the screen of the smartphone. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&#x27;s a good thing that I don&#x27;t believe in that mess, or I would be worried, he typed and hit send.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since the last message was sent more than 2 hours ago, he did not expect a response. So, he was surprised when the phone vibrated in his hand. He raised an eyebrow when he read the last message.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;These short stories are about the uneasiness of being alive and the characters’ feeble attempts not to go off the deep end.&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;What Inspired You to Write Your Book?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
I was inspired by the Photo that I then chose as Cover for the little book, plus by The Metamorphosis (F. Kafka) and its protagonist&#x27;s deformity which os what I feel when I write, deformity of mind, deformity of words never understood by the others, deformity of reality.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Lily Carter is a well-to-do fashion designer with a penchant for finding men who are more interested in her bank account than in her. Being fed up with this type of man, she creates an online group for successful millionaire women just like her! Four other ladies join within a week of its creation. The ladies bond over men, books, and their respective jobs. As Lily prepares for Paris Fashion Week, she meets hunky Andrew White. Now, she’s torn between keeping it professional and wanting to date her newest model. Lily turns to her new group of friends for guidance, but does she find the answers she’s looking for? Will Andrew turn out like all the other men in her life?&lt;/p&gt;

I&#x27;ve seen a lot of books about millionaire and billionaire men and I thought, &quot;What about the women? They can be successful and have money too!&quot; Then I thought about how fun it would be to have a group of millionaire women all navigating dating and relationships together.&lt;/p&gt;

I think that the fashion world is so glamorous and fun so it was a good place to start. But I also wanted to shake it up a little so that instead of having the lead woman be the model, she was the business owner and fashion designer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Zendar is a world of sand and strife.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Living in the great capital of Zendar, Sol, Nitya has always longed for something more than her family’s merchant lifestyle. She craves adventure—or at least hopes something remotely exciting could happen. When her best friend, Juni, secures them both positions in the palace’s kitchen, Nitya gets to experience a different world than she ever imagined—especially after a young soldier catches her eye.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Her world will never be the same.&lt;/p&gt;

I was out for a &#x27;girl&#x27;s night&#x27; with a group of friends, talking about romance books. One major complaint was romance was the plot and there was no other story. Thus Zendar was born, a collection of adult romance novels, in a fantasy world, with a plot!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;How Did You Come up With Your Characters?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
Nitya is in future books, so it was easy to already see her and her romance for the prequel. Ramas at his very core is a good man. Just what Nitya needs for her adventurous heart!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Book Sample&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
“Her.” The guard pointed in her direction. “She was there.”&lt;br/&gt;
Nitya froze, unsure what she was being accused of. Today was supposed to be her last day. She’d gotten to see more of the palace and was quite content to return home. What was happening?&lt;br/&gt;
“Me?”  Nitya heard herself say dumbly. &lt;br/&gt;
Sergeant Ramas seemed equally as surprised. “Are you sure?” he asked the guard.&lt;br/&gt;
“I’m sure. She and a man served the food,” the guard answered. Nitya’s mouth went dry as she wrapped her hand around Juni’s. &lt;br/&gt;
The Sergeant cleared his throat. “And the man?”&lt;br/&gt;
“Not here,” the guard answered. &lt;br/&gt;
Sergeant Ramas pointed at her. “Take her,” he ordered.&lt;br/&gt;
Nitya stepped back. “I didn’t do anything!” The tears were instant, and she tried to pull away. The guards were quick to get ahold of her. It all felt dreadfully real and horribly surreal at the same time. It was as though it was happening to someone else.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There seem to be a lot of people in California and Nevada who wanted to see Roger’s client Sebastian Cobb, a seedy lawyer, dead.  Which one killed him on the Tahoe ski slope?  From the lush forests, well-groomed ski slopes, and scenic grandeur of the Tahoe wilderness to the glitzy casinos of Reno and the sumptuous excesses of the Hollywood party scene, Roger and his colleagues follow a twisted trail of treachery to a killer who just might have committed the perfect murder.  The suspenseful thriller Tahoe Trauma can be enjoyed as a standalone novel.  Available in e-book or paperback formats and from Kindle Unlimited.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;What Inspired You to Write Your Book?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
Familiarity with the settings (Lake Tahoe, Los Angeles, Reno) and the major characters (the novel is part of a series with recurring characters), even though each book is written as a standalone thriller).  i first had the idea for the plot when we took a Christmas vacation to Squaw Valley, where my wife took the photo that became the book cover, a few years ago. I especially wanted to explore what a new additional female detective could add to the mix of series regulars to add a tool to my author&#x27;s toolbox kit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;more-403415&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;How Did You Come up With Your Characters?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
They have evolved over time as I wrote this series.  Roger and Suzanne were introduced to readers in &quot;The Ambivalent Corpse&quot;.  We first met &quot;Vincent&quot; in &quot;The Surreal Killer. &quot;Jason&quot; debuted in &quot;Unbearably Deadly&quot;.  &quot;Shasta&quot; met Roger in &quot;A Train to Nowhere&quot;.  &quot;Enzo&quot; was recycled from Hunter Down and &quot;Voluptia&quot; from a short story in Five Quickies For Roger and Suzanne.  I&#x27;m a big believer in Recycling, Repurposing, and Reusing lost characters from library shelves.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Book Sample&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
Suzanne and Shasta were both experienced skiers who grew up in Northern California. Both had achieved double black diamond slope caliber, even if they were starting slow on an intermediate slope to let the rust flake off.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;	The top layers of snow on the well-groomed ski slope were machine made, covering the many times melted and refrozen natural snow in the spring known affectionately to locals as “Sierra Cement”.  To each side of the groomed slope were “out of bounds” areas where the snowpack was irregular, with occasional rocks, trees, and bushes marring the natural snowpack and creating a safety hazard.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;	About a third of the way down the slope Shasta turned gracefully to the right heading toward a clump of trees beyond the out of bounds marker, calling out to Suzanne to follow.  As they neared the trees Suzanne saw what appeared to be a downed skier, seemingly half-buried in the snow lying motionless.  The two women pulled up a few feet from the downed skier, not wanting to disturb what might be a crime scene.  From the extensive damage to the back of his head, it was obvious the victim was dead. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;	Suzanne pulled out her cell phone and dialed the emergency number she had programmed into the instrument before the trip.  “I want to report a dead body off one of the ski trails at Squaw Valley,” she told the emergency response operator who answered.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;	The operator took her name and location, asking her if she was sure the individual in the snow was dead.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;	“Yes, I’m sure, replied Suzanne.  “I can clearly see there’s extensive damage to his head from about four feet away.  I haven’t gotten any closer to the body than that.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;	“Just wait exactly where you are and don’t touch anything until the ski patrol arrives,” the emergency operator instructed.  “They should be there in less than ten minutes.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;	Shasta and Suzanne removed their skis, which they stood up against a substantial pine tree a few yards away from the body.  They were about ten yards beyond the out of bounds markers, well away from the area of the slope where there would be any ski traffic.  The body was effectively concealed from any curious skiers by random trees and brush poking up out of the snow alongside the carefully groomed ski slope.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;	“We’re not to touch anything or mess up the scene before the ski patrol arrives here to figure out whether the police have to close off this slope to investigate a crime or whether I mistook a dead deer or an unconscious drunk for a murder victim,” Suzanne summarized the call to Shasta.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;	“I’m not planning to do either of those things now that you’ve told me not to,” replied Shasta, “but I should tell you to be very careful what you say and do when the authorities arrive.  I took a very brief look at the body and at the dead man’s wallet, which I returned to his pocket.  Nobody will see that anything has been touched, at least by us.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;	“But the victim’s ID, which matched his size, shape, and face, identified this corpse as our host for the week, Sebastian Cobb.  And he was clearly murdered with the classical blunt instrument.  You should probably call Roger and give him a quick heads-up about what’s going on up here.  I don’t think we need him on the ski slope, but he certainly has an excellent chance of becoming the prime suspect in this killing since he and Vincent both knew the victim.”&lt;/p&gt;

As a means to support his family amidst financial hardship, Abraham enlists in the Israeli branch of the Royal Pioneer Corps under the British Military.&lt;br/&gt;
Through fighting in battles in Tobruk and Greece, he finds a new sense of strength and resilience to survive. His wife,Genia, struggles to raise their son as a single parent in a new country . She faces the temptations of infidelity when a young chivalrous man appears in her household. Their son Aaron, is sent to an orphanage, and like his father , finds the strength to continue living under gruelling conditions.&lt;br/&gt;
 The plot line is based on real-life events, combined with the personal story of an Israeli Royal Pioneer Corps soldier, and provides a hatch to the story of 1500 Israeli Royal Pioneer Corps soldiers, taken and kept captive in Germany until the end of the war.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;What Inspired You to Write Your Book?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
In the midst of the Covid-19 closure, I had plenty of time to go through the photos and documents of my family. &lt;br/&gt;
I found my grandfather&#x27;s soldier certificate and the date of his enlistment.  While browsing online, I came across a group of relatives of the Israeli POW from WW2. I discovered the name of the unit in which my grandfather served (Port Operation Unit 1039). Interestingly enough, his captain kept a war diary until his capture.&lt;br/&gt;
 Through the stories and the date in the diary, I was able to trace the route that my grandfather took until his capture.&lt;br/&gt;
 All I had left to do, was to dive into the depths of the research and the stories of the prisoners in order to develop the plot of the book. For me it was definitely a real once in a lifetime experience.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;How Did You Come up With Your Characters?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
This is a true story of my grandfather from WW2. Might be a bit biased but it’s truly amazing and you should all read it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Book Sample&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
Getting Ready to Walk to Captivity&lt;br/&gt;
The sounds of shooting got stronger by the minute and seemed very close to the tree grove. I felt helpless; the inability to do anything nailed me to the ground. Even the taste of fire we experienced in Tobruk was nothing like the anxiety we felt at the fear of facing the German soldiers physically.&lt;br/&gt;
I searched for our commanders but I did not find a glimmer of hope in their behaviour. It looked like they were also scared and helpless. We were alone without the higher British command, which had deserted us.&lt;br/&gt;
Thinking of their abandonment replaced my anxiety with anger. Why do we need to experience all of this?&lt;br/&gt;
Almost immediately, Captain Yosefi pulled himself together, called and gathered us quickly at the edge of the grove. We stood around him in a circle.&lt;br/&gt;
&quot;Dear men,&quot; he opened, his voice warm, but serious and humbled, &quot;I am not a man of good news, in my darkest dreams I did not imagine getting myself into such a tough situation.&quot; He fell silent and took a deep breath. A few very loud explosions shook the ground and our hearts.&lt;br/&gt;
All of us looked at him – Josef and Israel, David and Yehezkel, Hassan and Eichya and the rest of my friends. &quot;A few minutes ago, we received an order from the British brigadier to lay down our weapons and surrender to the Germans. From this moment on, it is each man for himself. I morally cannot command any of you to surrender.&quot;&lt;br/&gt;
He paused again and made eye contact with each of the soldiers standing there, looking at him with misty eyes. No one spoke, and he saw in this a sign to go on. &quot;I can only recommend that you go into captivity with me, as a group.&quot; His voice broke, but he pulled himself together, &quot;I believe that our chances of survival in captivity are higher if we get there as a group then as singles, who could be executed in secret, with no witnesses around.&quot;&lt;br/&gt;
At the conclusion of his speech, Captain Yosefi stayed silent and stood steady, his gaze sharp and clear. The only tremble I noticed was at the corner of his mouth. Someone moved a rock with their foot and the sound of it rolling away was loud and clear in that silence.&lt;br/&gt;
&quot;Why weren’t we evacuated? Why were we left for last?&quot; Albert finally posed the question we all were thinking. &lt;br/&gt;
Yosefi was silent for a moment and then said, &quot;I assume that during the sea evacuation, the combat soldiers were prioritized over the combat support soldiers.&quot;&lt;br/&gt;
Silence fell again.&lt;br/&gt;
We all contemplated the sharp, cruel meaning of his words.&lt;br/&gt;
&quot;This is ridiculous,&quot; said one of the soldiers, &quot;I, as a German citizen, might find myself being executed for treason. Can someone vouch for my safety?&quot; he asked, and I felt as if he had taken the words right out of my mouth.&lt;br/&gt;
Yosefi&#x27;s gaze dropped and he lowered it to the laces of his shoes. &quot;No,&quot; he said in a quiet voice.&lt;br/&gt;
The single word felt like knives in my ear. &quot;I cannot vouch for your safety or for the safety of anyone else in this division,&quot; he paused for a moment, but when he spoke again, his words came out quickly, as if the situation demanded that he hurried. &quot;I suggest we burn any documents that might indicate our former nationality. I ask each of you to bury your weapon and ammunition and join me in an orderly walk to captivity.&quot;&lt;br/&gt;
He lifted his gaze again. His next sentence made the realization of the horrible thing happening to finally sink into our minds, &quot;Let us make sure to shave,&quot; he said, his voice louder and stronger, &quot;clean up our uniforms and shine our shoes. We will go together to captivity as Israeli Jews, walking tall and straight, and if we are fated to die, we die proud.&quot;&lt;br/&gt;
Usually, it was not hard to sympathize and relate with Captain Yosefi, but in that moment I could not understand his words. How can you be proud in walking to captivity? I thought that the immense stress he was under had completely taken over his mind. In that moment, I had made up my mind. &lt;br/&gt;
I had never hesitated, as an individual, to go against the majority and to make decisions that will serve my personal goals only. We were asked to prepare for our surrender and captivity, but I had a different plan, albeit dangerous, but with probable chances for success. Other than the possible danger, I felt I had nothing to lose.&lt;br/&gt;
Captain Yosefi had initially said it was a case of each man to himself. I had no doubt that as a German citizen, I was in mortal danger. I could be considered a traitor, as a soldier or a spy, and this could lead to my execution, without a trial.&lt;br/&gt;
I said goodbye to the friends in my division, who tried to convince me to give up my intentions.&lt;br/&gt;
&quot;Abraham, think well before you go off on your own; our chances of surviving as a group are higher,&quot; begged Yehezkel.&lt;br/&gt;
&quot;Being reckless won&#x27;t help you,&quot; warned David.&lt;br/&gt;
&quot;I believe that our commanders know what they are doing,&quot; Alex told me.&lt;br/&gt;
&quot;I am not sure about that at all,&quot; I told them, &quot;I appreciate our commanders, but there are situations in which I prefer to go against the system. I am not asking you to join me because of the risks involved, but you are welcome to decide.&quot;&lt;br/&gt;
I trusted my intuition which usually did not fail me. My friends were familiar with the stubbornness with which I was blessed with and did not try too hard to convince me to join the rest of the group. &lt;br/&gt;
&quot;Yehezkel,&quot; I walked up to him, &quot;Please, when you get to an organized location, please send my wife a letter to this address.&quot; I handed him a note with our address in Herzliya. &quot;Tell her about what happened and let her know that as soon as I get the chance, I will send her a letter.&quot;&lt;br/&gt;
I parted with my friends with a quick embrace. I began my journey, alone with my weapon, along the shoreline heading south.&lt;/p&gt;

I have been on a few dates off and on since moving here over a year ago, but nothing has really worked out. The girls at work Shelby and Amy like to try to set me up all the time. One date with a man named Frank was alright, he talked too much, I felt like the entire dinner was listening to him go on about his career as a financial analysis without me getting a word in.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Newly separated from her husband, Gemima Box moves to a tumbledown cottage in the village of Little London. Determined to build a new life in the countryside, Gemima soon finds that rural life is very different to city living. Broke and without a job, Gemima’s dreams and her new home both look close to collapse. Then she meets local ‘celebrity’ architect Jonathan Stone… &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Funny and romantic, Bunny Rockett’s A Little London Life is the first in a series of Little London stories that follow Gemima Box and her friends and neighbours.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;What Inspired You to Write Your Book?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
I am fascinated by life in English villages. There is always such a mix of people and personalities and I love all the possibilities for humour, adventure and, of course, romance. For all those folk who have ever thought about – or tried – running away to start a new life in a new place, then this is for you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;more-403299&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;How Did You Come up With Your Characters?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
If you&#x27;ve ever spent time in a rural English village, then I am sure you&#x27;ll recognise some of the characters in this book. In fact, you might even know where some of them live…or maybe you&#x27;ll spot yourself.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Book Sample&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
Let’s get this clear from the start, Little London is not in London, not near London and not anything like London. In fact, it’s different from London in just about every possible way. That’s why we liked it. We were going to swap crowds for countryside in search of the perfect lifestyle that everyone seems to crave when the sun is shining.&lt;br/&gt;
After years in London, with our boys grown up and doing their own thing, it was time for a change. And the sun was shining so, blinded by the light, we decided to up sticks and move out. At least, that was the plan and the tiny village of Little London would be the spot.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From Cornwall to Yorkshire, there are places called Little London scattered all over the place. Apparently, they owe their names, in varying degrees, to the ancient laws of London, inflated ambition, poor spelling, mistakes with Medieval English, too little imagination or too much of it and – my personal favourite – to stop sheep farmers getting lost on their way to the capital.  I really have no idea if any of these reasons are true. But that’s what Google says and page one of a Google search is about the limit of my patience for research. This is probably another reason why I make so many mistakes, but let’s not get onto that just yet. So, where was I? Oh yes, Little London – the place that was to be our new home.&lt;br/&gt;
I’m Gemima by the way, Gemima Box, but everyone calls me Gem, as in Gem Box. People seem to find this funny but, for me, the humour wore off some time ago. A long time ago actually. Definitely not funny anymore. It is, of course, all my husband’s fault. Or rather, my soon-to-be ex-husband’s fault&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;What Inspired You to Write Your Book?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
Being an Agile coach, I mentor both product and engineering teams on agile principles and lean thinking. Many teams want to improve their existing processes without causing any major disruption or introducing new roles. Such teams seek greater transparency, better productivity, higher quality, and short delivery cycles. This inspired me to write this book in an easy-to-understand language for anyone who needs to learn Kanban or those who need a reference guide at work.&lt;/p&gt;

Losing the only home, she knew to her brother’s greed, Hanna does everything she can to make a new life for herself and get back the life she once knew.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;About the book:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Bucket List meets Rom Com. The Perfect Romance Book for fans of JoJo Moyes, Mhairi McFarlane, and Abby Jimenez. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Sarah Ready is the best kept secret in contemporary romance. Her voice is seasoned, her characters are perfectly flawed and eternally endearing, and she strikes just the right balance between humor, heartbreak and uplifting.” from BookAddict&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What if you made a list of all the crazy things you’ve dreamed of doing, but have been too scared to try…and then did them? Every. Last. One. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unassuming, nice-girl Dany always does what people expect. She keeps her dreams hidden behind boring cardigans and beige upholstery. What does that get her? Dumped by her fiancé and kicked out of her home.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now Dany is going to do the unexpected – survive and thrive.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She has a ten step checklist and a sexy new landlord determined to tag along. Suddenly, Dany’s life goes from ordinary to wildly unexpected. But when everything turns upside down again, Dany has to decide, is number ten on her list the end or just the beginning?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;About the book:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What if the First Man Adam is black?&lt;br/&gt;
When God The Maker cracks a joke, we have explosive interracial sex exploit that makes Fifty Shades look tame.&lt;br/&gt;
Is it the one life choice of Katheryn Kellington – a well-bred, well-schooled southern belle – to pursue in college a study of African history — particularly the importation of negro slaves and slavery’s role in The American Civil War — that leads to her corruption and taboo interracial lust?&lt;br/&gt;
Is her story of orgasmic discovery more sinister, enabled by Lucifer the Devil?&lt;br/&gt;
Katheryn Kellington is the American Eve and Massai Mobuku the African Adam.&lt;br/&gt;
Lucifer intends their interracial sex to be natural, inevitable, and God-sanctioned. And torrid, gripping, aboveboard; nothing less will entice.&lt;br/&gt;
And, what has an ad in a classy women’s magazine got to do with this?&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;About the Book&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Paul’s letter to the Philippians is rich with wisdom and direction for our time. We learn so much in its few pages about the purpose of Christian suffering. We see God’s hand pulling all the levers and strings behind the scenes, sovereignly directing all that befalls His people. And we see the glorious results as the gospel is more widely preached. Paul writes the epistle from prison in Rome, while he waits to see if he will be executed or set free. We see in the letter many of the real-life difficulties that believers face in the battles for humility, righteousness and obedience. The great Apostle warns us of many of the pitfalls and traps which the world presents to those who would follow Jesus Christ. We see the familiar struggles that we all face as strangers in a fallen world. We see what it takes to make the right efforts to be authentic and real with God. We see the truth about what we must let go of in order to more fully grab onto Jesus Christ. And we see the great need, both in Paul’s days and in our own time, for bold, selfless Christian leadership among us. The over-arching theme of Paul’s letter to the Philippians is the joy that sustains God’s people through all of their appointed trials. Thank God for this short but powerful book which encourages, directs and sustains us.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;About the Book&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sworn to sacrifice for his country. Sworn to sacrifice for a stranger.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When a Marine whose job is to protect data systems from cyber attacks witnesses a woman in peril, his instincts kick in to protect her from a fatal attack. Unable to get her out of his mind, he’s compelled to find her. Because his role in her life seems beyond being just her protector. And when they meet again, he realizes he’s in love with her. But Jenna’s scars run deep. Can he help her overcome her haunted past?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jenna can’t stop thinking about the stranger who rescued her from a nearly fatal attack by her boyfriend. For reasons she can’t explain, she feels drawn to her rescuer. When he befriends her, she is surprised by how tender and compassionate he is. His affection for her is genuine, safe, and she finds herself falling for him too.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But how can Jenna give Blane her heart when it’s been battered? When she doesn’t feel worthy of love?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;About the Book&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Will Kat Patterson manage to save her ancestral home when all her brother wants is cold hard cash? Paul’s hired Whip Tyler to develop the property against Kat’s wishes. Whip Tyler of all people! Hasn’t their family lost enough at Whip’s hands?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hasn’t Paul Patterson caused enough damage in Whip’s life? But if he won’t take the job, Paul will find someone else – a developer who will rape the land and throw Kat’s hopes to the wind. It would be easier if Whip didn’t care. Or if that long-ago promise didn’t stand between him and Kat.&lt;/p&gt;

He saw the video teaser for the book and loved the concept. He is an extremely intelligent teenager and is loving the book! He wants to be a Movie Director after college, so perhaps he does a Documentary or movie of your Book.&lt;img alt=&quot;♥&quot; class=&quot;wp-smiley&quot; src=&quot;https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/13.0.1/72x72/2665.png&quot; style=&quot;height: 1em;&quot;/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;

I, too, had an excruciating 2020. To begin with, including COVID taking my storyteller’s (narrator) soul to heaven. I was trapped in a bottle beginning of the year, questioning my identity. But, I took that challenge as an opportunity by writing through my own metaphorical coke bottle. When the darkness rolled in, through thick and thin, an amazing community was there for me with helping hands. Within a few months, over 10K read the Gods Must Be Crazy in over a dozen countries, offering ~100 rave reviews (Amazon + GoodReads), and even achieved the #1 bestseller rank in many Amazon categories! Above all, I donate the royalty from this book for a greater purpose to Mother Teresa Mission (Missionaries of Charity).&lt;br/&gt;
As a token of gratitude, I would like to give away a New Year GIFT.&lt;/p&gt;

I guarantee it!&lt;img alt=&quot;♥&quot; class=&quot;wp-smiley&quot; src=&quot;https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/13.0.1/72x72/2665.png&quot; style=&quot;height: 1em;&quot;/&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;♥&quot; class=&quot;wp-smiley&quot; src=&quot;https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/13.0.1/72x72/2665.png&quot; style=&quot;height: 1em;&quot;/&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;♥&quot; class=&quot;wp-smiley&quot; src=&quot;https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/13.0.1/72x72/2665.png&quot; style=&quot;height: 1em;&quot;/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
This book takes its title from the 1980 comedy film “The Gods Must Be Crazy,” in which an empty Coca-Cola bottle is dropped from a plane onto a community of African bushmen. The bottle is thought to be a gift from the Gods, but after it incites bitter fighting amongst the villagers, the tribal leader decides to return it to the Gods, embarking upon a journey to the end of the world. Through my own metaphorical coke bottle, I visualize the dawn of a daunting new Empire.  This book serves as both a testament to the past glories of the current American Empire and a guidebook to restoring Capitalism and Enterprise – before it is too late.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Finalist, 2021 Reader’s Choice Book Awards, Memoir.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The most hilarious heart transplant memoir you’ll read this year! (probably ever)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In late March 2019, high school English teacher Terry Kroenung rode a quick 10 miles on his bike. 10 days later he had an emergency heart transplant. Imagine his surprise.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Based on the irreverent Facebook diary he kept during the ordeal, this memoir recounts his experiences with near-fatal pacemaker implantations, defibrillation scorch marks, 7-hour cardiac ablations, surgical staples, and the up-and-down recovery process. Along the way are 6 pregnant nurses, Canadian axe throwers, alien face-huggers, shopping bags full of Mexican-cartel-priced drugs, and the most horrifying photo of a dead heart that even the doctors had ever seen.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If he hadn’t gone to the Emergency Room purely to avoid a faculty meeting, somebody else would have written this book. There he was told that despite the 100-mile bike rides and 10K races, he had heart failure. Having a very rare disease isn’t the fun pageant you’d think it would be.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; His snarky, pun-strewn and geeky commentary on events, as well as more dubiously-termed ‘wit’ that he added after the fact (essentially playing Mystery Science Theatre with himself), make up the book that you’re somehow still reading about.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All proceeds of this book will go to benefit Donor Alliance and their life-saving work increasing the supply of transplant organs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;About the Book&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Antonio Ramirez is ready to leave his wild reputation behind in New York and adopt a more respectable life with the Texas Mustangs. When he spies the woman of his dreams at a Fundraiser—its love at first sight. Convincing Clare Kincaid that he’s sincere is harder than he expected.&lt;br/&gt;
When super sexy Antonio Ramirez approaches her, Clare is sure he’s playing a cruel game, but the Mustangs’ new Center Fielder won’t take no for an answer. She might be convinced of his sincerity if only he would invite her to play the one game she longs to play.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In this world…&lt;br/&gt;
…being human is a death sentence.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Surrounded by powerful and dangerous creatures, Emma relies on her demon master for his protection. She has spent her whole life trying to keep out of trouble and stay in his good graces.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But when a freak accident causes her to stumble upon a restricted building, she makes a shocking discovery, a rare female wolf shifter.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Determined to help the wolf shifter escape and find her pack, Emma is forced to flee the demon’s estate…all the while dreading the reaction of her demon master once he finds out. But he’s the least of her problems. She soon finds herself in the crosshairs of a less-than-grateful elite hellhound.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Accused of crimes she didn’t commit and kidnapped by the infuriated hellhound, Emma’s only solace is in the fact that she’s immune to magic. But immunity to magic, as she finds out, can be both a blessing and a curse…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Perfect for fans of urban fantasy filled to the brim with paranormal creatures and plenty of action, you won’t want to miss this thrilling suspense-filled stand-alone novel Cursed Demon. Grab your copy today!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;She Got More Than She Bargained For…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Elizabeth is a student working in a dead-end hotel job to makes ends meet, but she dreams of a better life.&lt;br/&gt;
When she foolishly decides to shower in the penthouse bathroom of one of the hotel guests, it has consequences she did not expect.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;What Inspired You to Write Your Book?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
I was living full time in Spain, but my partner was still hopping backwards and forwards to the UK, sometimes for weeks at a time. And he was complaining of being ‘lonely’ (if you get my drift…).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, one night, I sat down and wrote him a little story, to ‘keep him company’. It was called ‘Charlotte Chastised’, and the title tells you most of what you want to know about the plot.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He *loved* it, and asked for more. So, I wrote more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And, in a spirit of adventure, I designed a book cover, picked a pen name and published under the title of &#x27;Bought By The Billionaire&#x27;.  And *that&#x27;s* how I because a hot romance writer &lt;img alt=&quot;😉&quot; class=&quot;wp-smiley&quot; src=&quot;https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/13.0.1/72x72/1f609.png&quot; style=&quot;height: 1em;&quot;/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;How Did You Come up With Your Characters?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
The sprang from my brain like Pegasus from the blood of Medusa lol!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr/&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Book Sample&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
It’s hot; stuffy and hot. I load my cleaning cloths and sprays onto the cart and push it along the corridor. It’s a high-class hotel and normally it’s very comfortable working here, but the air-con isn&#x27;t working properly and so my daily job of room cleaning is very uncomfortable today. I take the elevator up to my next room, the penthouse suite and unlock the door. It is a stunning room, bright and sunny, and when I cleaned it through the day before, it smelled pleasantly of the occupant, a mixture of expensive aftershave and a musky male scent. The scent still lingered, in stark contrast to my own clammy and sweaty odour.&lt;br/&gt;
I consider the owner of the aftershave for a moment as I open the window to let sunshine and fresh air in. I saw him leaving a few minutes ago, so I know I am clear to clean the room. He was dressed smart casual, wearing an expensive jacket with a loose linen shirt; perfect in this heat; and tight black jeans cut to flatter his noticeably male physique. He strode down the corridor with a bouquet of beautiful red roses, a briefcase, and a gleam in his eyes. Despite the briefcase, he did not look like a man with work on his mind.&lt;br/&gt;
The room is clean and tidy, needing almost no work. In the office, I empty a wastebasket by the desk and dust the desktop. I make up the bed in the room I can access. Some of the rooms are locked. I am supposed to do everything—all the work, every time. Vacuum the carpet, clean the bathroom, dust all the surfaces, wipe the windows, but the room is so clean already that I think I can skimp. &lt;br/&gt;
I decide it is good enough and go to check the bathroom. Again, it is immaculate.&lt;br/&gt;
Why am I doing this?&lt;br/&gt;
I am hot, sticky, and tired and working for minimum wage at a job I only took a few days ago to help me through my university studies. Already I hate the work, but I need the money.&lt;br/&gt;
The shower looks so inviting. Temptation wins. I kick off my shoes and quickly unbutton my tightly cut blouse. I immediately feel better as the cool air washes over my sweaty, glistening breasts. Unhooking my low-cut black bra, I drop it on my blouse and then unclip my hair. It is far too warm to wear my hair loose, but now freed, it cascades red and silky to my waist. Wriggling out of my short skirt takes only a moment, and my moist and sticky panties follow. I turn on the shower and step into the beautifully tiled enclosure.&lt;br/&gt;
The water feels wonderful on my skin and hair, coursing over my arms, breasts, and belly, taking the heat, sweat, and fatigue with it. I stand, stretching luxuriously in the warm stream, with the needles of water massaging me.&lt;br/&gt;
There is a click and the sound of a key in the lock.&lt;br/&gt;
I freeze. Here I am, stark naked, in the shower of one of the hotel guests. Has he brought his date back to the room?&lt;br/&gt;
Oh, God! What is his girlfriend going to say when she finds a naked woman in her boyfriend&#x27;s shower?&lt;br/&gt;
Frantically, I turn off the water and reach for a towel, wrapping it around my naked torso to dry off as quickly as possible.&lt;br/&gt;
Oh, God! Oh, God. Oh, God…&lt;br/&gt;
Please don’t let him come in here.&lt;br/&gt;
The bathroom door clicks open and the guy walks in.&lt;/p&gt;
