outdoors. The story takes Nathan, Iris, and Mommy on another trip to the
national park. Nathan and Iris are extremely excited to visit with their new
friend, Gob the Gnome again. Gob takes Nathan, Iris, and Mommy on a short
tour of park and Nathan sees a large empty area of the park. Gob explains to
Nathan, Iris, and their mom the unfortunate realities of what happens in
some parks due to human interference and natural occurrences. Gob also
introduces the family to some of the animals and explains how they suffer
through deforestation, tornados, and storms. In this story Iris comes to age
by using what she learns from Gob to defend the forest.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Since the 1400s, folklore has described gnomes as guardians of treasure and
the protectors of Earth. Gnomes represent stability, growth, and good luck.
This is the second book of the six-book series about Gob the Gnome. The six
books in this series all revolve around Gob, the protector of a local
forest, who becomes friends with Nathan and Iris and helps to educate them
on the importance of caring for the environment.</span>

<blockquote>The best-laid plans may go awry, but the best-laid clues could frame a man for murder . . .
Never one to let a day off work go to waste, café owner Gia Morelli and a friend head out for a blissful kayaking trip through the local national forest. But the peacefulness of the day is soon shattered when they come across Cole, her head cook, standing over a dead body. Worse still, the victim was a lifelong enemy of Cole’s, and clues found on the body point to the cook as the culprit. When the police take Cole in and subject him to an intense grilling, Gia vows to do everything she can to prove his innocence.
As even more incriminating evidence surfaces—including when the murder weapon itself is found hidden at the café—Gia knows she’s up against someone brutal enough to kill and devious enough to frame Cole for the deed. With the police ready to make an official arrest and wrap up what they consider an open-and-shut case, Gia turns for help to an old friend who’s not above breaking the law himself. Because if she can’t find the killer, Cole may go from serving up hot dishes to serving a life sentence . . .</blockquote><p>My Review:</p><p>Battered and Buried is the 7th book in the amazing All-Day Breakfast Cafe Mystery series. Gia finds her head cook embroiled in the murder of an unpleasant newcomer. The evidence against Cole continues to stack up but Gia knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that he's not guilty. Proving it, however, has become a full-time job.</p>I really enjoyed Battered and Buried. The book is perfectly paced - not too fast and not too slow. I was pulled in from the very beginning and engaged in the plot. The character development continues, and we learn more about the characters and learn backstory without being bogged down with useless filler. The story was fun, exciting, suspenseful, and full of twists and turns. I had a wonderful time trying to figure out just what happened and who was responsible. The continued world building is great, and I was able to visualize the story.<br /><br />Gia came from New York one person and has since evolved into another as she gets used to the differences in Florida. Gia is a very strong character and I enjoy the books about her world. I love that the author does not, at any time, write her as weak or unstable. She's just had a very rough past that she thought she would escape by moving away from her former life and completely starting over. Samantha and Hunt are stability characters for Gia. Savannah is a wonderful best friend and Hunt is an excellent partner.<br /><br />The characters are all likeable, the setting in Florida is nice. The chemistry between Gia and Hunt is sweet and believable. I prefer a little bit of soft romance in my cozy mysteries. I really enjoy the author's writing style and love her Bay Island Mystery series.<div><br /></div><div>My Rating:</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtBuEEeWhXBSBtlOB_SmcThCKAj3nTi2V33F4uVlkm9XiN6nAmJVyIUbpTxZI3VwJ3xT39Jio7lWopiR5mqLOh1pyrVOcoiyXsPXbsyX8WmbDBvyOGoQaWxD-ANdnqxr68IqeZeJHLsCg6udU_2rZHX4HbkWgkg_qi60S6OAV964VROIQbtiurSlEFl4IT/s650/5%20Star%20Rating.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="117" data-original-width="650" height="58" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtBuEEeWhXBSBtlOB_SmcThCKAj3nTi2V33F4uVlkm9XiN6nAmJVyIUbpTxZI3VwJ3xT39Jio7lWopiR5mqLOh1pyrVOcoiyXsPXbsyX8WmbDBvyOGoQaWxD-ANdnqxr68IqeZeJHLsCg6udU_2rZHX4HbkWgkg_qi60S6OAV964VROIQbtiurSlEFl4IT/s320/5%20Star%20Rating.PNG" width="320" /></a></div><div><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #121f99;"><em><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">About Lena Gregory:</span></em></span></h2>

He would sell his soul to the devil or anyone buying if it meant he could write full-time. Alas, he left it very late to begin this journey, penning his first story since primary school at the ripe old age of forty-five.

<p>"I'm just putting the popcorn in the bowl, Al. Keep your shirt on," Ellie yelled back. The jaunty theme song to "My Favorite Martian" played in the background as it capped off the adventures of everyone's favorite Uncle Martin.</p>
<p>"You're not even married yet," Ben said, "and you already sound like an old married couple."</p>
<p>"Yeah, well," Al said as Ellie squeezed in next to him, reaching for a handful of popcorn. "I don't have to report to prison until June." He gave us a smile, cheeks bulging with popcorn. "Isn't that right, sweetie?" He looked like a mischievous squirrel.</p>
<p>Ellie gave him a sour grin and then playfully hit his shoulder. "You're the luckiest man in the world." She lowered her nose slightly, giving Al a piercing, no-nonsense gaze. "Go on and admit it."</p>
<p>"Yes, dear," Al responded automatically. I loved the way they bantered back and forth. You could tell they loved each other dearly.</p>
<p>Ben reached out and took my hand on the crowded couch, and I lay my head on his shoulder. What we had was different, but that was because we hadn't been dating as long as Al and Ellie had. I tried to keep that in mind. Meanwhile, Ed Sullivan appeared in front of the gray-toned curtains. When they panned the audience, it was filled with women. Young women, and they all looked like they were about to witness the second coming. There were so many expectant looks to the stage. One girl had her fists clenched and held to her chin. I had seen the Ed Sullivan show for years, but never had I witnessed such awe-filled excitement.</p>
<p>"Just look at them all." Ellie squinted at the television. "Do you see any men?"</p>
<p>Instead of answering her question, Al added, "Do you see anyone over thirty?"</p>
<p>Ed Sullivan looked somewhere between excited and terrified. "Ladies and gentlemen, the Beatles," Ed Sullivan yelled, and the screams rose to a feverish pitch.</p>
<p>I had never witnessed mass hysteria, but was sure I was seeing it on Ellie's new Phillips television set. "This is unbelievable. Those girls are going insane." The camera went from the audience to John, Paul, and George. Ringo was set up on a raised platform with his drums. They knocked out "I Want to Hold Your Hand," and with each measure the crowd screamed even more.</p>
<p>"I can barely hear the song for the caterwauling going on in the background," Al said.</p>
<p>"I wonder if they can hear each other." Ellie popped a handful of popcorn into her mouth.</p>
<p>"I told you the Beatles were big news." Ben was the room's professional reporter.</p>
<p>I couldn't get over how excited the fans were. I considered myself a bit of an expert in popular music since I landed my job at KDUD, The Smile on Your Dial. I wasn't spinning records, but I was answering the request line. We were getting more and more requests for the Beatles. Unfortunately, my boss chose Perry Como over John Lennon and Montavoni over Paul McCartney. Sometimes it felt like I was spending my days in a department store, listening to never-ending soulless melodies. Sales were down, and our listenership was too. If my boss would only switch to the popular music of the day, we'd be playing in everyone's kitchen.</p>
<p>It was more than these girls' crazy behavior in the presence of the Beatles. They bought the records. This was a big industry, and these four kids from England were taking America by storm. The rival station across town, KOOL, was playing them nonstop, and that's who people were listening to on their radios. Ellie told me they even made jokes about our station. We were oldies for the oldies. As Charlie Brown would say, "Good grief".</p>
<p>I needed to count my blessings. I had a job I enjoyed. I just hated to see how they were missing an opportunity with their choice of music.</p>

<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><br /></p><b><span style="font-family: times;">Read an Excerpt:</span></b> </blockquote><blockquote><p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">Death was finally able to take a nap, she rested, moving to
a beach in her dreams. As she sunbathed, she felt a ripple through her dream.
An odious black thing streaking the sky. She felt a subtle tremor in the cosmic
threads, a disturbance that distrusted her sleep, bathing her dream world in
darkness.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">“Oh for fuck’s sake.” She said, stretching her hand for her
scythe. She got up and took off the sarong, slipping her arms through the
sleeves of a satin robe.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">With the sharp edge of her scythe, she ripped through the
fabric of the dream world.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">“I actually put a lot of work into creating this one. This
better be worth it.” Death murmured, stepping out of the dream and entering a
black void.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">She found herself standing within the threading—a vast
expanse where the fabric of existence intertwined.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">Threads stretched in every direction, touching each other in
a complex web of interconnections. Each thread was connected to another. They
revolved around a small spool in the center.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">She found herself, a small piece of black lopping around
each thread.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">“What is it this time?” She said into the endless void, her
voice echoing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">Tainted threads manifested before her, the red threads had
clumps of black glue choking it. Her face contorted in a grimace.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">“Damn. That’s a lot of dirt. What has this soul done?” She
asked. “Come. Let’s go find them. Someone has to die.” She sighed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">She stepped into Misery’s dream. She was lying awake in a
dark space.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">“Really? You have the ability to think of anything and this
is what you choose?” She said, scoffing. “You’re unbelievable. I don’t know why
I bother.” Death finished.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">Deathless eyes stare back at her.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">“The dark is comforting. You should know that better than
anyone else. It is home to vile twisted things like us. Come lay with me.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">“Would love to but this is a bye bye text. I’m too lazy to
reach for my phone. I’m killing two birds with one scythe.”“That’s not how the
saying goes.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">“Who cares.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">“Where are you headed?”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">“Somewhere terrible. " Death said.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">Misery sat up, the shadows binding her to the black space
falling away. “Where are you going?”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">Death looked up, trying to convince her eyes to unsee Misery
soft, white, naked, eyes open in ecstasy.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">“To hunt a tainted thread.” Death said mindlessly.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">“I’m coming with.” Misery said.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">“You’re not. You’re busted up. Why are you naked?”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">“I sleep naked.” Misery said, brows scrunching in confusion.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">“I did not need to know that.” Death said, making a
strangled noise. “Why do you insist on coming with me, Misery?” Death
questioned, her mood souring. She looked at Misery with cold emotionless eyes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">Misery, undeterred, responded, “I’m connected to the balance
as much as you are. I’m connected to you. It’s a roundabout thing. won’t stay idle
when darkness threatens.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">“Everybody is connected to me, little psycho. Try again.
I’ll be the last to leave this universe when it ceases endless existence. I’ll
turn the lights out behind me. I’ll escort your soul to the after life too. Try
again, Mise.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">“I have no soul.” Misery grinned, cracking open her chest to
reveal a black empty space.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">Death scowled. “You’re still not coming along.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">“Yes I am. I’m coming to cover your ass.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">“Literally or figuratively.” Said Death, her lids lowering.
Misery flushed, disappearing into the shadows.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">“Well. I’ll see you when I’m back.” Death said.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">“I’ll be downstairs in five minutes. We both need to get
dressed and you take ten years to change your clothes.” Misery said at the same
time, wrinkling her nose.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">They looked at each other, both frowning.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">“I’m coming. The End.” Said Misery, disappearing into the
shadows. Death cursed, opening her eyes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">She stood up, heading to her closet. She yanked out a long
flowing lace vest and a pair of leather pants. She wore a silk shirt under the
vest, the lace vest on it and a corset on the whole ensemble.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">The lace looked like it was sewed to the corset. She slipped
on a pair of black studded six inch stilettos and raced outside, sliding down
the railing to the foyer.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">She rushed outside, opening her Mercedes and taking a seat
in the driver’s side. She pulled out of the castle, doing a victory dance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

We had the same sense of humor and the same carefree attitude about our lives and goals. Neither of us wanted to lay down roots, we wanted to explore the world.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Then one night, too much alcohol and uncontrolled hormones led to the line blurring, and we fell into bed together only to discover a month later that we were more careless than we thought.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Like the upstanding guy he is, Hudson followed me back to my hometown of Lake Starlight, Alaska, where you can’t throw a penny and not hit one of my family members. We gave them the news that yes, we were having a baby but there would be no wedding. We loved each other but we weren’t in love.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Fast forward three years and we live side by side to make co-parenting our daughter easy. I’m a writer, and he’s a ski instructor. We’ve worked out all the rough edges. Life is good.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Until out of nowhere, things start to change. He has a girlfriend, we’re arguing more than ever, and it feels as if someone has come along and popped our perfect bubble. I’m not sure we’re ever going to fit back inside it now because things are developing. Things like feelings.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">My Review:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The Drawback of Single Dads is the fourth book in the Lake Starlight series. The focus of this book is Palmer and Hudson, best friends who also got a bit wild and procreated. This friends-to-lovers romance was executed perfectly. Palmer and Hudson are wonderful characters. I loved meeting them, seeing them grow, and watching their romance unfold. The authors filled this book with tension, emotion, and passion.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The story was fantastic, the characters well-developed, and the world-building done spectacularly. I am a huge fan of Piper Rayne (they are pretty much on my "read anything I can get my hands on - without reading the blurb first" list). I was so engaged with Palmer and Hudson's story from the first paragraph. The writing, characters, setting, and story took my breath away. The Drawback of Single Dads and the entire Lake Starlight series are highly recommended.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">My Rating:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsNlbvIjNF0nhMAq_7ceFv-_040Eh_kHoA6sOEobKlI3vYbrOFjyIbDgUtJJ8N-3p2oRpk5PWmFPlZBP1PMiRwx9qMlMpXVJ_Ku9CCrMWDhOo5iTKJ3BC0U7qh5BjVTnDKwHJvalXpXHwDXY2FPZKt20sryhjZiQy0ToUyx3k6QJwGhR2XCnkeIKT8mmYP/s650/5%20Star%20Rating.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="117" data-original-width="650" height="58" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsNlbvIjNF0nhMAq_7ceFv-_040Eh_kHoA6sOEobKlI3vYbrOFjyIbDgUtJJ8N-3p2oRpk5PWmFPlZBP1PMiRwx9qMlMpXVJ_Ku9CCrMWDhOo5iTKJ3BC0U7qh5BjVTnDKwHJvalXpXHwDXY2FPZKt20sryhjZiQy0ToUyx3k6QJwGhR2XCnkeIKT8mmYP/s320/5%20Star%20Rating.PNG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD63IuPUoqFqrvbmofQT4J2LZEnvqx8ot347AubJbRqwzVF1QK9LXy0JOSlvjvHG83-uXcShup9LaZldO914eoqcqeeNPC773n0SVAG8-_8TCunoZdVzxWwC-iSSJI6ygs-ApSwHnRq1DiuOxBQp71AfO2bBKHfnSgSDtaL0W-PDFGfeZrjyrtiDQbg6ai/s1080/The%20Drawback%20of%20Single%20Dads%20AN%20-%20IG.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD63IuPUoqFqrvbmofQT4J2LZEnvqx8ot347AubJbRqwzVF1QK9LXy0JOSlvjvHG83-uXcShup9LaZldO914eoqcqeeNPC773n0SVAG8-_8TCunoZdVzxWwC-iSSJI6ygs-ApSwHnRq1DiuOxBQp71AfO2bBKHfnSgSDtaL0W-PDFGfeZrjyrtiDQbg6ai/s320/The%20Drawback%20of%20Single%20Dads%20AN%20-%20IG.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Download today on Amazon, Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, and Kobo!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://books2read.com/tdosd">https://books2read.com/tdosd</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Duet Narration by Jason Clarke & Kit Swann coming mid-May</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Add to Goodreads: <a href="https://bit.ly/3rJts3O">https://bit.ly/3rJts3O</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Meet Piper Rayne:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img height="315" src="https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/crnBnqfHUvkVW-UhXbK-QKut1Qt8NWvXri_Iy9UupXfC9QIASzLrVsFgIf7-cZtPWDSGyzFE6xQCgysB0BAEOTzswLUW6qCafe0sI2DhBCGo8niRvPdIQRFKIh8VxAM63WbPF75m-7VdBBHrXCe_qg=w320-h315" width="320" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Piper Rayne is a USA Today Bestselling Author duo who write "heartwarming humor with a side of sizzle" about families, whether that be blood or found.

<h2><b>About </b><b><i>Awaken the Dawn</i></b><b>: </b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><b>A cryptic puzzle. A family secret. A deadly betrayal.</b>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">When her dad dies during a trip to Romania, Kat Barrett blames herself for their failed relationship. She's racked with guilt, haunted by strange dreams about the crash that killed him, and she’d do anything to have him back.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Then a package arrives. It’s from her dad and contains a list of clues — one of his classic scavenger hunts. Desperate for answers, she follows the clues to Bucharest and meets Maksim, a local with a dark past who offers to help. Kat doesn't trust him, but when she hits a dead end, she’s left with no other choice.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">As they work together, decode the clues and trying (unsuccessfully) not to fall for each other, the scavenger hunt reveals a deadly secret the dreams have been pointing to, something Maksim’s old crime ring has been hiding all along, and Kat has walked into their trap. Can she beat them to the final clue — and solve it — before she suffers the same fate as her dad?</span><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-57821" height="400" src="http://www.inkslingerpr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/BookBrushImage1068-1.png" width="306" /></div>

<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Mia Carina has steered her Italian-American family’s Astoria, Queens, catering hall, Belle View Banquet Manor, into becoming the borough’s premiere party site, and nothing could make her happier—except her boyfriend proposing. There’s just one presumed-dead obstacle in the way . . .</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A strong, independent woman and respected entrepreneur, Mia never imagined she’d pine for a marriage proposal. Yet lately, with her beloved Shane, she’s on tenterhooks. It’s especially surprising, considering Mia’s first husband, Adam, was a philandering grifter, assumed lost-at-sea after a boating disaster. But everyone knows what happens when you assume . . .</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">While working a huge wedding expo in Manhattan, Mia is shocked to spot the man who nearly destroyed her life. The one who’s supposed to be sleeping with the fishes. But she loses him in the crowd. And when it happens again the next day, it’s time for an emergency meeting with the family—and the Family. Because if Adam is alive, Mia is still married . . .</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Everyone wants Adam dead. Everyone except Mia. She’s dealt with enough police for a lifetime. Mia needs to be a divorcée, not a widow. But someone out there disagrees, and if Mia doesn’t discover who, she may never be free to marry Shane—or anyone else . . .</p>
<strong>Italian recipes included!</strong></blockquote>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span class="a-text-bold">Maria DiRico</span></strong> is the pseudonym for Ellen Byron, author of the award-winning, USA Today bestselling Cajun Country Mysteries. Born in Queens, New York, she is a first-generation Italian-American on her mother's side and the granddaughter of a low-level Jewish mobster on her father's side. She grew up visiting the Astoria Manor and Grand Bay Marina catering halls, which were run by her Italian mother's family in Queens and have become the inspiration for her Catering Hall Mystery Series. DiRico has been a writer-producer for hit television series like Wings and Just Shoot Me, and her first play, Graceland, appears in the Best Short Plays collection. She's a freelance journalist, with over 200 articles published in national magazines, and previously worked as a cater-waiter for Martha Stewart, a credit she never tires of sharing. A native New Yorker who attended Tulane University, Ellen lives in Los Angeles with her husband, daughter, and two rescue dogs.</p>

country and stumble on the idea of starting a corn maze business. They
quickly discover that while it’s easy to rush into a maze, finding
your way out is hard. They will need to convince an investor to fund the
venture, persuade a reluctant farmer to let them build their maze on his
corn field, and figure out a way to work with his headstrong nephew. Along
the way they will realize just how little they know about planting corn,
designing mazes and writing business plans. Through many twists and turns
—and dead ends— they will learn how to keep a partnership
together and what the true job of a leader is. There’s only one thing
harder than finding your way out of a maze: creating a maze people want to
get lost in.</span></p>

market their company, understand risk, and negotiate. Each chapter ends with
a challenge, including business decisions, ethical dilemmas and
interpersonal conflict for young readers to wrestle with. As the story
progresses, the characters track revenue, costs, profit margin, and other
key metrics which are explained in simple, fun ways that tie into the
story.</span><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>

Especially when
you're "Hollywood's Astrologer to the Stars." Yet he once crawled
out on a 20-story beam to talk down a suicidal celebrity. And when he gave a
Vegas casino owner a costly piece of advice, he found himself the target of
a hitman.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Fortunately he escaped only to face another crisis: the kidnapping of
Sparklynn James, his most famous client. After the Feds falter on the case,
the family asks him to assist Rebecca Fairway, a publicity-seeking P.I.
(a.k.a. "The Glamorous Gumshoe) to find her. Not exactly the A
Team.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">But a coded ransom message from Sparklynn herself points them in the right
direction...leading them straight into a web of corporate evil.</span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Thomas Collins wrote his first book, The Adventures of Tom and Rom, at the
age of ten. (Now out of print) As an adult he gained valuable knowledge of
the inner workings of big business as corporate communications director for
a Fortune 500 company. Crimeline Hollywood is his first mystery though not
his last, especially since the hitman from Crimeline is still on the loose.
Like his hero, Dash Harwood, he is an Aquarian who likes to think outside
the box… once he cuts through all the packaging.</span></p>

I spent
years as a captive, so when someone breaks into the compound and threatens
my little siblings, I go with the kidnappers instead. I’ve survived
being enslaved before, but the little ones wouldn’t make it. I can
only hope the club will find me in time.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Prophet – I’ve been patiently waiting for Ares to not only be
old enough for me to date her, but also for her to be ready. But I waited
too f**king long, and now she’s been taken. The bastard who has her is
going to pay, and once she’s back in my arms, I’m never letting
her go again.</span>

<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: large; line-height: 107%;"><b>Read an Excerpt:</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;"><i>Ares</i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Times had changed. The Dixie Reapers’ clubhouse no longer boasted
loud parties and naked women. Well, the naked women were gone, at any rate.
Music pulsed from the speakers as everyone took a much-needed break. My dad
had been in Church off and on since this mess started, and more often than
not, the members hung out in the clubhouse discussing the issue at hand.
Except right now, the doors were open to anyone.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">I sat at the bar with a soda. Portia sat on one side of me and
Venom’s youngest, Dawson, was on my other side. Patched members lined
the bar on either side of them.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">“Pass me a beer, Ares,” Bull shouted from farther down. I
reached over the counter into the ice chest, then slid the longneck down the
bar top. I caught a smirk from my father as he watched.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">“Hey, Pres. Think your girl has a future as a bartender,” Bull
said. He chuckled and twisted the top off. “She’s got good
aim.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">“Better than Foster’s aim last week,” I shot back, a
playful jab at his son’s appalling shooting during target practice. He
snorted and took a swallow of his beer, while Foster shot me a glare.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">This place was my home. Dad and the Dixie Reapers had been my salvation,
pulling me from the abyss with hands as rough as the life they led. Even
though I couldn’t be a patched member, I was a Reaper’s kid. My
dad had given me permission to get the club colors inked on my shoulder
blade. It was a super small one compared to the ones the guys here had.
I’d seen quite a few with the colors covering their entire backs. In
addition, I’d gotten a phoenix rising from the ashes inked on the
outside of my right thigh -- a mirror of my own rebirth.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Foster might be mad at me right now, but I knew he’d get over it. In
a lot of ways, he was like a brother to me. All of the kids here close to my
age felt like family. Although, Foster, Owen, and Dawson were all older than
me. Not that I could tell when it came to Foster.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Cowboy’s son, Jackson, entered the clubhouse, his cowboy boots
thudding against the wood floor as he came closer. He put his arms around me
and hugged me from behind.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">“You smell like horses and dirt.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">“Mom always said it was the best scent in the world.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">I couldn’t help but laugh a little. Yeah, I could see his mother
saying that. “Well, it’s better than sweat, I guess. Preparing
for your next rodeo?”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">“I was planning to head out in the morning, but with everything going
on…”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">I tipped my head back to look up at him. “You should go. If you put
your life on hold every time something bad happens around here, you’ll
never get to do the one thing you love most.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">He kissed the top of my head. “Yeah, I know. You’re awfully
smart for someone so young.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">“You’re only six years older than me, Jackson. It’s not
like you’re ancient.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">“In rodeo years, I’m over a decade older than you.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">I really did laugh that time. “Is that like dog years or
something?”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">“Close enough. Hand me a beer. I’m going to go with Akira.
She’s in the corner with her nose in a book again.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">I reached over for another longneck and passed it to him. He patted my
shoulder before wandering off. I watched him, noticing he hadn’t lied.
Akira, Wraith’s daughter, really did have a book in front of her face.
From the cover, no one would realize she was reading smut. If her parents
had any idea of the types of books she bought, they’d both have a
fit.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">I sipped on my soda and just soaked up the atmosphere. My friends and
family were all talking or laughing. Despite everything going on outside the
club gates, they seemed at peace in this particular moment. Happy. I hoped
things could stay like this. I didn’t want anyone here to suffer the
way I had.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">“Never thought I’d see the day,” Tank said, approaching
with a smile on his face. “Ares Black, quiet as a church
mouse.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">I smirked, nudging him with my elbow. “Just soaking it all in. Some
days, I don’t remember how blessed I am, until we’re all
together like this. Family. Friendship. As long as we have those, we can
weather any storm.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">“Damn straight.” He clapped a heavy hand on my shoulder.
“We’re always in your corner, Ares.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">“Same here,” I replied. It wasn’t just words -- it was a
promise. We were the Dixie Reapers, and we protected our own with the
ferocity of a mother bear defending her cubs. I might not be a member of the
club itself, but as the President’s daughter, these people were still
my family, and I’d die to keep them safe.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">I glanced at my watch and stood. Joker wanted Cleo to feel welcome here,
and while I wasn’t quite ready to be friends with the woman, I also
knew what it was like to be the outsider. I’d promised to head over
and play a board game. Instead of driving, I decided to walk. The fresh air
would be nice, and it would give me time to get my thoughts in order. It
felt like utter chaos inside my head these days.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Ridley and Isabella were already there when I arrived. I fell into step
behind them as they entered Joker’s home. Ridley had a few board games
tucked under her arm. At least they’d come prepared, because I doubted
Joker had any. I’d already given them a few of the ones we had at home
that I thought might be fun.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">“Hey, Cleo,” I said.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">“Good to see you guys.” Her voice sounded hollow, and it looked
like she hadn’t been sleeping well.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Isabella walked over to her first, giving her a hug. “How are you
holding up?”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">“Counting down the minutes,” she said.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Ridley clapped her hands together, the sound sharp in the quiet room.
“We’re here to take your mind off things. Right,
Ares?”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">I nodded. “Yeah, we brought some board games. Thought we could all
use a distraction.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">“Thanks,” she murmured.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">We settled around her kitchen table. Before we’d even had a chance to
set up the game, someone knocked on the door. Joker went to answer. Ridley
started to set up one of the games, and Isabella and I helped. I noticed
Cleo kept glancing toward the door.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">He returned with an envelope and handed it to Cleo. “For
you.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">“Who’s it from?” she asked. She ripped open the envelope
and as she read the contents of the paper inside, she paled a bit.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">“Everything all right?” Isabella asked.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">“Fine,” she said. Did anyone else notice the tremor in her
voice or the way her hands trembled? “Just a reminder about my
appointment.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">“Ah, can’t forget that,” Ridley said.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">“Let’s focus on the game,” Cleo suggested.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">I rolled the dice and gave a little shout of excitement, hoping to make
things seem as normal as possible. “All right!”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Everyone took their turns rolling the dice and moving their tokens. When it
went around to Cleo, she stared at the board, almost as if she wasn’t
fully present. I glanced at Ridley and Isabella, and realized they’d
noticed it too. Cleo must have a lot on her mind between the issues with her
family and her heart problem.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">“Your move, Cleo,” Ridley prompted.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">“Right,” she mumbled.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">We played for quite a while, until the sky started to darken. I
didn’t know if this had distracted Cleo or not, but it had kept me
from focusing on things for a while. I hadn’t realized how much
I’d needed this until now. I helped clean up the games, then we told
Joker and Cleo goodbye.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Ridley offered me a ride, but I waved her off. The walk would do me some
good. I paused at the clubhouse and stared at my car. It didn’t make
sense to leave it here overnight, but at the same time, I’d prefer to
get home on my own two feet than by driving there. I decided to leave it and
kept walking.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">A sudden chill prickled my skin, a whisper of danger that tightened my
muscles. A feeling of unease skittered down my spine, and I wondered if
trouble was drawing closer than any of us realized.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">When I got home, there was a wrongness I felt all the way to my core. I
slowly approached the house, keeping an eye on my surroundings, just the way
Dad had taught me. I twisted the knob on the front door and pushed it
open.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">“Mom? Are you here?” I called out. Nothing. Not so much as a
whisper of sound. I eased farther into the house, wondering if I should call
Dad. Dessa’s car was outside, which meant she had to be here. She
hadn’t ridden with him to the clubhouse earlier, even though
she’d been there with the kids.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">“Junie, Judd, Marnie!” I shouted.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">No one answered, and I couldn’t find anyone at home. I went back
outside, wondering if maybe they went to a neighbor’s house. Before
I’d made it to the end of the driveway, I felt the cold kiss of metal
against my neck.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">“Don’t look.” Justin turned and pulled Lilly to him. He tried to shield
her from the gore splattered about the alley. The copper stink of fresh blood
assaulted them as they stood across the street from the scene. As the Grim
Reaper, eons of death dulled the impact for Justin. He wanted to keep Lilly
from it if possible. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">“I can’t.” Lilly looked away, but it did not help. Despite being blind,
the murder shone in vivid technicolor to her. Being Justin's Oracle gave her
sight far beyond what any normal person enjoyed. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">The pull of death drew her attention, and in her mind's eye, the scene
coalesced as clearly as if she stared at it. The violence and butchery lit the
aura surrounding the dead body in angry tones of black and red that shone like
a spotlight upon the murder.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">She placed her hand over her mouth to keep from vomiting. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">The splayed open corpse's entrails hung about the alley. The smashed
kidneys hung from the side of a dumpster. The lungs sat in a pile against the
alley wall. The liver dripped blood into a shallow pool beside the corpse. The
buzzing of flies grew louder as the dead man's evacuated bowels drew them to
the feast. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">The callous mess made of another human left her uneasy.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">She wanted to block it out, bury her head in Justin’s chest, and flee
the scene. She tried to look away, but ancient instinct forced her to bear
witness to the death of a fellow human. Her instincts buzzed with warning. Her
palms sweated, and her lips trembled. A predator lurked nearby, and she needed
to be aware.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">“Lilly.” Justin put an arm around her shoulders and turned her back to
the horrific scene playing out in the alley. “It’s okay. I’ve got you.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">Justin wanted to go home and leave it all behind them. Lilly wanted to
know what happened and needed him to tell her so she did not have to face it
alone. The closer they got to it, the more apparent the full extent of the
horror became.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">“What…what is it? What happened, Justin?” Lilly held onto him tightly,
seeking comfort in his strength.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">He apprised the situation with a practiced stare. His experience on
earth gave him some insight, but his familiarity with death brought everything
into focus. He scratched at the stubble on his chin as he considered the dead
man. “Looks like a sacrifice of some sort, a ritual, but not one I’ve seen
before. Doesn’t appear demonic, but it could be part of a summoning. Maybe
something geographical...”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">“Can we go? I don’t like the way this feels. There is something wrong about
this. I can't put my finger on it, but there is something dark here. It's
tickling my senses, tempting me, drawing me toward it like an inevitable
conclusion.” She turned her back on the scene and shuddered.</span></p><p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;">“Huh? Oh. Yeah, sure. Let’s get out of here.” Justin guided Lilly away
from the murder. Justin held her hand gently as they walked. “Sorry about that.
Hazard of the profession. As the Angel of Death, I've seen a lot of corpses.
It’s not every day you come across something this unusual.”</span></p></blockquote><p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: times;"></span></p><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">

<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>A fraught family reunion. A corpse by the coast. Can an amateur sleuth crack this egg-xtraordinary mystery or be left scrambling for answers?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Spring signifies new beginnings, yet rookie antiques expert, Dotty Sayers, feels uncertain about her future. A colleague's invitation to Northumberland, in search of hidden family treasure, offers a fresh start. Once there, she immediately befriends her neighbour and assists with a prestigious project at a nearby castle. But when her mentor vanishes, and a body washes up in a secluded cove, Dotty wonders why so many people she knows end up dead.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Determined to assist, this budding amateur detective is hopping mad when the police ignore her insights. With the inquest approaching, Dotty must decide if she’s ready to crack open the case, even if it makes the local police inspector as mad as a March hare.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Can Dotty put aside her doubts and pull a rabbit out of the hat to ensure justice prevails?</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;"><b>In the frosty mayhem of the Alaskan film set for Everybody Loves Polar
Bears</b>, accident-prone Macy Applegate catapults herself into a hilarious
array of mishaps better suited for a blooper reel. As Macy dreams of
stardom, she reluctantly works with Nick Westwood, the grumpiest and most
arrogant assistant director this side of the Arctic Circle—a man who
irritates her more than a stuck zipper in a sub-zero wind chill.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;"><b>Beneath Nick's stoic exterior lies a mysterious secret</b>, and the only thing
more challenging than Alaska's winter is these two trying to get along for
longer than a commercial break. Macy is a walking disaster in matters of the
heart, and Nick is fed up with shallow relationships. But fate has a
penchant for mischief when Nick transforms from Macy’s nemesis to her
off-screen hero, chipping away at the permafrost around her heart. Should
she give this guy a chance or continue wishing on the magical aurora
borealis for perfect love?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;"><b>In this hilarious romantic comedy, where polar bears play supporting roles
and love takes center stage</b>, Macy and Nick navigate a situation as
unpredictable as Macy's on-set blunders. If you swooned through The Proposal
and chuckled at The Hating Game…and if you have a soft spot for polar
bears…get ready for laughter in this heartwarming tale of unexpected
love!</span>

love is all about.”</span></p>

<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>From author Erica Wynters comes another Camelot Flowers Mystery blooming with secrets, suspicions, and danger at every turn...</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Things are finally looking up with florist Gwen Stevens’ family business, Camelot Flowers, which means her biggest problem now is making her heart choose between her lifelong crush on the charming Chris Crawford and her budding romance with Finn Butler, the new police detective who makes her want to stop and smell the roses.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But Gwen’s thorny love life takes a backseat when Shannon Wentworth, a newcomer to the small town of Star Junction, drops dead in the local coffee shop the day after she announces her candidacy for garden club president. Unfortunately, Margie Philips, Gwen’s surrogate aunt, has been garden club president for years and had threatened to win again this year at any cost—which suddenly puts her in the role of prime suspect in Wentworth's untimely demise!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Determined to clear Margie’s name, Gwen digs deep and discovers a bouquet’s worth of secrets, including marital infidelity, a lawsuit threatening to ruin a local business, and even doubts about where Margie was right before the murder. With too many suspects all hiding something, will Gwen uncover the truth before the killer poisons her chances of a happily ever after?</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Erica Wynters</strong> may have lived most of her life in the frigid Midwest, but now she spends her time in the warmth and sunshine of Arizona. She loves hiking, hunting down waterfalls in the desert, reading (of course), and napping. Can napping be considered a hobby? When not weaving tales of mystery with plenty of quirky characters, laughs, and a dash of romance, Erica works as a Marriage and Family Therapist helping others find their Happily Ever Afters.</p>

<p>Landry Hutton has spent three years rebuilding her life behind the secure gates of The Haven, an exclusive resort on the outskirts of Gossamer Falls, North Carolina. As the artist-in-residence, and with her pottery prized by The Haven's guests, Landry is finally ready to settle in permanently. She wants to give her daughter, Eliza, a safe home to grow up in and hires former Marine Callum Shaw to handle the construction.</p>
<p>Cal grew up in Gossamer Falls and always knew he would someday join his family's business. He longs for a family of his own but has almost given up on that ever happening. Landry is funny, gifted, and everything Cal could ever want in a partner, but he vows to keep his distance. Landry has a daughter and a past. Cal has been down that road before and barely survived when the woman he loved left, taking her two sons with her. He can't bear to lose like that again.</p>
<p>Before construction on the house can begin, Landry's pottery is destroyed in a suspicious fire. It soon becomes clear that Landry and Eliza are in grave danger--but because of whom? But, after losing one relationship, he is hesitant to try again.</p>

<div class="excerpt" style="border-color: 800000; border-style: groove; border-width: 3px; height: 250px; overflow: auto;">
<p>They passed several offices before they reached an open door. </p>
<p>“Maisy. Stay.” That same deep voice from the intercom floated to the hallway. </p>
<p>“Oooh! A dog!” Eliza dashed into the room. </p>
<p>Her little sprite was fast and already halfway across the office before Landry realized what was happening. “Eliza, wait!” Fortunately, she stopped at Landry’s words. </p>
<p>“I know, Mommy. Never touch a dog without permission. I just want to see.” </p>
<p>Eliza turned her big brown eyes toward the man who had come around his desk and knelt beside a dog now quivering with excitement. </p>
<p>The man—Callum Shaw, she assumed—met her daughter’s eyes and said, “Your mom’s right. You can’t ever rush at a dog, even dogs as gentle as this big baby. But if it’s okay with your mom . . .” </p>
<p>His eyes, which were as blue as the Carolina sky, now met hers. There was humor and gentleness. And shadows. Something dark flitted across his gaze. But then he blinked and it was gone. </p>
<p>Landry nodded her permission, and he turned all his attention back to her daughter. “This is Maisy. She’s a golden retriever. She’s three years old. She loves long walks in the woods, sunbathing, peanut butter, and belly rubs.” He demonstrated the belly rub. Maisy melted under his touch, and Eliza crept closer. “You can pet her. Maisy doesn’t bite my friends.” </p>
<p>Eliza dropped to her knees beside Callum and held out her hand toward Maisy’s nose. </p>
<p>Maisy took a quick sniff and rewarded Eliza’s good behavior with a lick. Callum stayed where he was until it was clear to everyone that Eliza and Maisy were set, then he rose to his feet and extended a hand. “Ms. Hutton.” </p>
<p>“Landry. Please.” </p>
<p>“Landry. A pleasure.”</p>
<p>Landry kept the contact brief. “Sorry, my hands are rough.” She turned them palms up. “Hazards of the job.” </p>
<p>Why had she said that? What did it matter if her hands were a bit on the crispy side? She didn’t have to prove anything to this man. Embarrassment crept across her and burst through her pores, heating her neck and face, and now she had no idea what to do with her hands. Should she put them down? Tuck them behind her back?</p>
<p>Callum glanced at her hands and turned his own up. “Same here.” He heaved a dramatic sigh. “It’s to my eternal despair that I’ll never land that hand modeling contract I’ve always hoped for.” </p>
<p>His easy humor made it automatic to tease him back. “Well, there’s always ditch digging.” </p>
<p>“Good point. If this construction gig doesn’t work out, I’ll have something to fall back on.” Callum turned his attention to Eliza. “And I gather your name is Eliza?” </p>
<p>She giggled with the abandon unique to happy children. “That’s right, but sometimes Mommy calls me Liza or ZaZa, but never Lizzy because that’s too close to Landry, and it gets confusing.” </p>
<p>Landry tried to keep a straight face as Eliza parroted what she’d heard Landry say too many times to count. </p>
<p>“It’s a pleasure, Ms. Eliza.” Callum pressed a hand to his chest. “I’m Cal Shaw. I’ll answer to Callum, but not LumLum because”— he dropped his voice to a stage whisper—“that’s just not dignified.”</p>
<p>Eliza’s laughter filled the room. Bronwyn hadn’t been wrong about Cal Shaw. He was very good with children. Even now, he kept his attention on Eliza. “Are you good here with Maisy while your mom and I talk?” </p>
<p>“Yes, sir.” </p>
<p>Cal grabbed a legal pad and pen from his desk and took the chair opposite the one he directed Landry to sit in. From their seats, they could both see Eliza and Maisy. </p>
<p>She waited for him to start the conversation, but maybe she was supposed to go first? </p>
<p>“She’s a beau—” </p>
<p>“Land—” </p>
<p>They both stopped talking, and his smile seemed genuine as he nodded to her. “Please. Go ahead.”</p>
<p>“I was going to say your dog is beautiful.” She willed her body to stop flushing scarlet, but it refused to cooperate. She didn’t have to see herself to know that her face, neck, chest, and even her feet were on fire. This was why she did best behind the walls of The Haven. She could interact with the patrons there with minimal difficulty. But put her out in public, and she became a tongue-tied, socially inept disaster. </p>
<p>Cal’s grin held mischief, and he leaned toward her. “If all goes as planned, she’ll be pregnant soon. I bet Eliza would love a puppy for Christmas.” His voice was cajoling and teasing, but at least he had the good sense to keep it too low for Eliza to hear. </p>
<p>He winked in a way that was friendly and not flirtatious, and Landry understood why Bronwyn liked him so much. He leaned back and in a normal voice said, “I gathered from your conversation with Carla that you’re going to build nearby.” </p>
<p>“Yes. I have three acres on the edge of Pierce land.” She watched him carefully as she spoke and was unsurprised when his grip tightened on the pen at her words. </p>
<p>“How long have you lived in Gossamer Falls?” </p>
<p>“Long enough to know the Pierce and Quinn families don’t get along.”</p>

<p>Lynn H. Blackburn is the award-winning author of <em>Unknown Threat</em>, <em>Malicious Intent</em>, and <em>Under Fire</em>, as well as the Dive Team Investigations series. She loves writing swoon-worthy Southern suspense because her childhood fantasy was to become a spy, but her grown-up reality is that she's a huge chicken and would have been caught on her first mission. She prefers to live vicariously through her characters by putting them into terrifying situations while she sits at home in her pajamas. She lives in Simpsonville, South Carolina, with her true love, Brian, and their three children.</p>

<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Librarian Greta Plank is hard at work planning and preparing for Larkspur’s Fall Festival and regional tourism showcase which, if successful, will be a boon to the local economy. But disaster strikes and chances of a positive review look slimmer than a periodical’s spine when a series of pranks escalates and one of Larkspur’s own is found dead the same day the reporter is set to arrive.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Desperate to defend her town’s character and get to the bottom of the circulating mayhem, Greta begins indexing suspects. Could the crimes be an outside job, undertaken by someone intent on harming the town’s reputation? Or is someone closer to home trying to ruin Larkspur from the inside?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With destruction of property, sabotage, and strange animal mishaps piling up on top of murder, Greta wouldn’t recommend this ‘choose your own (disastrous) adventure’ to anyone. In the end, she must decide who she can trust so she can close the book on these crimes before the shadowy vandal authors another kill.</p>

The refugees who crash-landed on the Atipok homeworld can’t see or touch phee, the elemental power which flows through rock and stone like living rivers of light. From the moment of his hatching, healer Takey has manipulated phee to heal, bending strands to his will to mend muscle and bone for both human and Atipok alike.<br /><br />But when the Atipok queen is murdered and her death blamed on an orphaned human child capable of pheework, the first of her kind, a rift is torn between the two races that could spell the end of humanity. Anti-human factions seize power and the Atipok army is on the march. Can Takey survive long enough to unravel the strands of conspiracy, protect the child, and broker a peace to avoid genocide without betraying his own people or himself?<br /><br /><b>Genres:</b> </div><div><br /></div><div>SciFi, Speculative Fiction, Fantasy, Mystery</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Book Tour Schedule: </b></div></div><br /><a href="https://saphsbookpromotions.blogspot.com/2024/03/book-tour-schedule-for-pheeworkers-oath.html">https://saphsbookpromotions.blogspot.com/2024/03/book-tour-schedule-for-pheeworkers-oath.html</a><div><br /></div><div><b><span lang="EN-CA">Praise:</span></b></div><div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">A compellingly alien protagonist, who also
has the deeply-held and familiar belief that a better world is possible.</span> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">In THE PHEEWORKER'S OATH, neither
compassion nor cruelty are traits limited to humankind. There are no easy
answers to the complexities of human refugees building a new home for
themselves on a different world--but it is easy to care about the compellingly
alien Takey, and about his deeply-held and familiar belief that a better world
is possible.</span> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">From Rachael Jones, WFA Finalist &
Tiptree Award honoree:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">The Pheeworker's Oath is a timely science
fiction tale about a stranded human colony dependent upon the Atipok, aliens
with near-mystical abilities that allow them to control their environment and
their very bodies. It is a fascinating examination of how manipulative leaders
harness fear of the other to gain power, and how the only way to break that
power is to find kinship with the very beings you've been told to fear. This
adventure story showcases timeless themes and intriguing worldbuilding. Come for
the cool alien powers, stay for the lizardlike Atipok--but don't you dare call
them Lizards!<o:p></o:p></span></p><b>Purchase Links:</b><br /><br />MIRROR WORLD PUBLISHING: <br /><br />Paperback: </div><div><a href="https://www.mirrorworldpublishing.com/product/the-pheeworker-s-oath-by-adam-gaylord-paperback-/109">https://www.mirrorworldpublishing.com/product/the-pheeworker-s-oath-by-adam-gaylord-paperback-/109</a><br /><br />Ebook: </div><div><a href="https://www.mirrorworldpublishing.com/product/the-pheeworker-s-oath-by-adam-gaylord-e-book-/110?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=false&category_id=2">hhttps://www.mirrorworldpublishing.com/product/the-pheeworker-s-oath-by-adam-gaylord-e-book-/110</a><br /><br />AMAZON: </div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://amzn.to/3IBPqLw">https://amzn.to/3IBPqLw</a></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Meet the Author:</b></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXEY5Zo-7RVukM-nSvBzRbSoTIWKdrTBJR7-Y84cZKjt9oxSaTLrsMS-e3ZvYfhbJR2H0XKYCSFQ0oxkS-SElx4x4bnAqLxc9hJQzW4niAUA9_uZUQow3MPSLIoJlCIdiltu0aS8PYPvVgy20zvL0emFkzpq7LSJJu_uliXOuA2djdn9jPQpGF6FdXCXzA/s341/AG%20pic.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="341" data-original-width="318" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXEY5Zo-7RVukM-nSvBzRbSoTIWKdrTBJR7-Y84cZKjt9oxSaTLrsMS-e3ZvYfhbJR2H0XKYCSFQ0oxkS-SElx4x4bnAqLxc9hJQzW4niAUA9_uZUQow3MPSLIoJlCIdiltu0aS8PYPvVgy20zvL0emFkzpq7LSJJu_uliXOuA2djdn9jPQpGF6FdXCXzA/s320/AG%20pic.jpg" width="298" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><b><span lang="EN-CA" style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">Adam Gaylord (he/him) </span></b><span lang="EN-CA" style="line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">lives in Colorado with a

<p style="text-align: justify;">Tammy Wright, a bestselling mystery author returns to her hometown to give her Aunt Clara a hand with running her ceramic shop during tourist season.

<p style="text-align: justify;">Tammy stumbles upon a body, and when her aunt refuses to give in to either realtor she disappears without a trace.
With the help of an old schoolmate turned policeman, the writer must step out from behind her computer screen and her fictional mysteries to confront real life crime. If she doesn’t, she may never see her aunt again.</p>

She wished she could remember what he looked like. When she hangs a white pendant that belonged to her father in her bedroom window, this wish becomes the key to great adventure in another world. A gate appears with a dragon twirling in the air above a colourful garden on the other side of the gate. Zeeta, the royal dragon, greets Mouse and invites her into the garden. The garden is part of Sweet Water holding, home to Lady Jane, who is the seer for Prince Ruler Jared.<br /><br />
As Mouse and Zeeta struggle to complete a quest, Mouse searches for her father. Their journey takes them across the plains of Norlanda and south to the Border Mountains.<br /><br />
The seers have foretold that a far traveller will appear and lead Norlanda against its enemies. This does not seem likely, as Norlanda is prosperous and peaceful at this time. Meanwhile, dark forces gathered in the Border Mountains have recognized the presence of Mouse in the lines of destiny and have started to move towards her.<br /><br />
How will the presence of a child, a far traveller from another world, affect the destiny of this world?</blockquote><b>Genre:</b><div><br /></div><div>YA Fantasy</div><div><br />

Six Turns Later <br /><br />
The sky was cast with bands of pink and yellow as the sun set. It was an exceptionally clear evening, and it was possible to see the Singing Mountains across the horizon to the north. As Jared gazed absently at the fringe of jagged peaks, Lord Ravenstock entered the room silently. He waited for Jared to address him. <br /><br />
Without turning, Jared asked, “What have my esteemed councillors decided?” <br /><br />
Lord Ravenstock’s eyebrows rose briefly. His face became an expressionless mask as he related the decision of the Council of Five. <br /><br />
“It has been six turns since the death of your father, King Henry. The Council has decided that the Prince Ruler must select a woman to be his Lady Consort or they will be obliged to select a suitable woman on your behalf.” <br /><br />
The Prince snorted. “They have already given me a list of women they deem suitable.” <br /><br />
<b>About the Author:</b></div><div><br /></div><div>Born in Saskatchewan, Betty has lived in several areas across Canada, from Ottawa to Vancouver Island while growing up. Her fondest memory as a child is of her father building a tent trailer and her mother sewing yards and yards of canvas for the tent. The family travelled across Canada and down the eastern seaboard of the United States for several summer vacations.<br /><br />
Betty worked as a drawing office assistant in Oxford, England, for almost two years before returning to Canada to work as a topographical clerk in Edmonton, Alberta. She pursued a BSc. in Agriculture with a major in Horticulture from the University of Alberta. While raising her children, Betty worked as an Office Manager for a non-profit society and took writing courses at night school and from the Institute of Children's Literature, Connecticut.<br /><br />
The garden has always been a source of inspiration and joy for Betty, as are all the beloved cats and dogs who have walked into her life. Betty believes stories are the foundation of our life. The stories we enjoy, the stories we tell ourselves, our children and others, reflect how we view the world around us. She enjoys writing fantasy for the youth genre because she feels there is still so much of the wonder of life, and the attitude that anything is possible, from this age group.<br /><br />
Greystone is her first novel. She is currently working on the sequel, Greystone: A New Beginning.<br /><br />
