"ENTERTAINING, FUN-FILLED, AND EDUCATIONAL!"

      Captain No Beard enjoyed living on an island with his mates. After all, they were also his friends, and after a while, he treated them like family. Mongo, Linus, Fribbit, and Hallie were a fine crew. Each crew member had a special quality about them, and they were all willing to learn from their great leader, Captain No Beard, who considered his job to be hard work. Mongo was a pro at climbing, Linus was their automatic microphone with his loud roars, Fribbit loved to flop, and Hallie was a fine first mate.

A scary storm began to brew with loud thunder, and everyone aboard pitched in to help Captain No Beard make sure all was safe. He rescued Hallie, commanded directions to keep a clean ship, and delivered the right answers in his best pirate voice.

Suddenly, a voice was heard from the mysterious sea, and a mermaid appeared with yummy treasure. Captain No Beard reminded Alexander to clean up the mess, before enjoying the golden treats.

Award Winning author Carole P. Roman delivers an exciting, appealing story to young readers, that is not only funny, but educational as well. Through her creative imagination, the author pens a magical, delightful adventure with colorful characters as the story comes to life. The stunning illustrations are inviting as they compliment this fun-filled adventure aboard the Flying Dragon, while sailing across deep, dark seas. Children will become curious as they ask questions, while learning lessons about teamwork, and responsibility. In addition, this charming story also encourages young readers to practice reading skills, as well as participating in group discussions. "CAPTAIN NO BEARD:An Imaginary Tale Of A Pirate's Life" is as heartwarming as Free Willy 3, as hilarious as Shrek The Third, and as entertaining as The Lion King. Highly recommended to teachers, parents, and child-care providers!

5 Star REVIEW~~**THE MYSTERY OF WHALE HOUSE"~Author/Illustrator HENDRIK VAN OORDT**

http://www.bol.com


~~Genre:  Young Adult Adventure


"MYSTERIOUS, THRILLING, AND ENTERTAINING!"

      Hendrik Van Oordt, author of nine books and illustrator, delivers a mysterious adventure that entertains, from beginning to end. Three young teenagers are sent off to live on an Island with their aunt and uncle, while their parents deal with moving. Frank, Dana, and Martin were not happy about the decision, or getting adjusted to a complete different lifestyle. To make matters worse, they found nothing that interested them to grab their attention, until they heard rumors about 'Whale House.'

They became curious to find out if the story they heard had any truth to it, anxious to see a mad woman and her son in the huge Gothic house, when a sudden storm began to brew, and the children wind up inside the creepy monstrosity. Frank, Dana, and Martin had no idea what they were in for, after discovering a hidden secret.

The children must embark on a quest as they face many challenges in order to escape, but will they survive, and be set free? The story is mysterious, exciting, and suspenseful as the colorful characters come to life. "THE MYSTERY OF WHALE HOUSE" is as captivating as The Goonies, as thrilling as The Monster Squad, and as entertaining as The Lost Boys.  Enjoyable, and highly recommended to young adults!

~~"TAMING JENNA"

Genre: Western Historical Romance


~~About The Author       


      Charlene Raddon likes to say that she began her fiction career in the third grade, when she announced in Show & Tell that a baby sister she never had was killed by a black widow spider. She often penned stories, featuring mistreated young girls, whose mother was accused of crimes that her sister had actually committed. Those were mostly therapeutic exercises.

Her first serious attempt at writing fiction came in 1980, when she woke from a vivid dream, that compelled her to drag out a typewriter, and begin writing. An early love for romance novels and the Wild West, led her to choose the historical romance genre, but she also writes contemporary romance. At present, she has 5 books published in paperback by Kensington Books(one under the pseudonym Rachel Summers), and the same 5 digitally published by Tirgearr Publishing.


~~About The Book

      THE WRONG MAN

Deserted by her father at the age of 7, Jenna Leigh-Whittington had taught herself to ride, shoot, brawl and steer clear of the opposite sex. But now, in a lonely Utah canyon, the Pinkerton agent has drawn her gun on a rugged stranger, only to discover that far from the dangerous outlaw she'd been tracking. He is Branch McCauley, hired gun, and the most irresistible rascal ever to tempt, and torment a woman!

THE RIGHT WOMAN

If there's one thing that McCauley trusts less than a female, it's a female, who packs a six-gun. But what a woman! Vowing to bring the sensuous hellcat to heel, McCauley has no inkling that their passionate battle of wills has just begun. "TAMING JENNA" will be the most seductive and satisfying job he has ever taken on...
