The wind began to shift again as Juliet's plans flew out the window after she meets another man, who she is attracted to, while finding herself in the middle of a feud, between her mother and a neighbor. As Juliet attempts to carry out her mission, she discovers that shocking secrets have been buried under the carpet for years and the time has come to learn the truth, before mending the old, picket fence. The author creates a colorful portrait of family members, striving for new connections, through an intriguing, emotional story of one family.

"MYSTERIOUS, CHILLING, AND  SUSPENSEFUL!"

Charlotte Holley delivers another intense, thrilling mystery in The Actor's Guild Paranormal series that entertains from beginning to end. When Liz and Kim agreed on a decision to move into McCann's Manor, they put themselves into a scary, dangerous situation. Their decision was based on past experience, but they began to realize that this time, they went in over their heads. They thought that their ghost-busting mission was more than challenging, after solving the mysterious death of Missy, Leonard, and Benjamin. How many more doors must they enter to solve dark, hidden secrets about Benjamin McCann and the house he built that continues to haunt, before they can lock the doors behind them, and throw away the key? Why did Sephanira give Mark a crystal sword, and why was he attracted to her? Did Jonathan have his full powers restored, who wanted the Bartraol to be in chains in the pit, and were all the spirits put to rest, or was there another entity waiting to deal with Elizabeth? Will all the questions be answered, before the final curtains could be drawn as death fills the strange, stale air? The chilling story is mesmerizing, the setting is picture-perfect, and the unique characters come to life. "THE BAKERY MURDERS:Challenge" has you on the edge of your seat, is packed with suspense, and is as mysterious as 'The Others.' Highly recommended!

~~~About The Author~~~

Michelle McCarty grew up as the youngest of five sisters in a small Texas town. Finding it difficult to be heard over older siblings, she began expressing herself through writing at an early age. Daydreaming and writing proved cathartic for teenage angst, but didn't do much in the way of enhancing her social skills. Not comfortable speaking in public, Michelle says writing stories opens a window in her heart where words swing dance into each other and fill her with joy, and sometimes great pride. Writing takes her to imaginary places filled with ordinary and extraordinary characters who offer intimate details of their humorous, eccentric, romantic, dramatic and sometimes mundane lives. She writes to learn moral lessons by placing characters in a variety of situations, which in turn offers soul searching and sometimes personal resolutions. Michelle believes flawed characters reveal that everyone, no matter how imperfect or seemingly insignificant, offers something special in pretend worlds as well as in real life. When not writing, Michelle's time is filled with twin granddaughters, Annabella and Alexandria who zap her energy, yet light up her life. She also works part-time as editor for an online newspaper.

'THE JEWEL BOX' is Michelle's first published novel. Michelle enjoys chatting with readers from around the world. To learn about her upcoming novel, Beyond The Pale, and more, please visit her website @,http://cmichellemccarty-author.com, or: @,http://www.facebook.com/AuthorCMichelleMcCarty

~~~About The Author~~~

Charlene Raddon's propensity for fiction dates back to elementary school, when she used to make up stories to get attention. She was in her thirties, when she became addicted to reading romance novels. The thought of writing a book herself didn't occur to her until 1980, when she awoke from a vivid dream she decided it needed to be in a book. That book was a time travel, which publishes weren't buying then, but she is reworking it. Other than winning or placing in several literary contests, her first success came in 1991, when her romance entitled 'BRIANNA' became a Golden Heart Finalist. Within two years of that event, she signed a three-book contract with Zebra Books(Kensington Books), who published five of her historical romance novels. Her third book, FOREVER MINE, received a Romantic Times Reviewer's Choice Award Nomination. Other awards include finaling in the Affaire de Coeur Reader/Writer Best Book of the Year contest. Today, Charlene's backlist is being released as eBooks by Tirgearr Publishing. She anticipates seeing a brand new story published later this year.

As the seed matured into a stalk of grass, it not only provided comfort for all those who walked by, but also offered warmth to a manger bed for baby Jesus. The author highlights the importance of how we all serve a purpose, while defining the true definition of fate, and destiny. In addition, he reminds us that we must endure trials-and-tribulations on that long road to finding ourselves, and our own special place in the world. The stunning, colorful illustrations bring the meaningful story to life as we follow beautifully written, poetic verse. Young reader's will be interested in the characters, which will encourage them to ask questions, and voice their opinions. This impressive story is perfect for group discussions as well, not just for the holidays, but anytime for enjoyable reading sessions, or quality time. Jason Whitney teaches the young, curious mind about life's challenges, and how they make us stronger, and more confident in serving others. The author portrays that in this lifetime, we get what we give as life offers rewards, after we crossed some bumpy roads. The poetic rhyme adds more spice to this fun-filled, entertaining journey, while the calming story offers peace and tranquility. "THE SEED" is as heartwarming as Miracle On 34th Street, as delightful as Polar Express, and as thought-provoking as It's A Wonderful Life. Highly recommended to teachers, parents, and child-care providers.

"RIVETING INTENSITY, CHILLING, AND HAUNTING!"

Elizabeth Carr and Kimberly Henson were roommates and became best friends, when they attended the University of Texas. They both share a gift that most people don't have, extrasensory perception, with a common interest in the supernatural. This extraordinary gift has taken them on several journeys through adventure, but also unforgettable, unexpected dark places, where trouble was brewing. One of those dark places was McCann's Manor, a two-hundred year old haunted house, waiting for them to walk through a door of horror. When Elizabeth and Kim were invited to a birthday party, little did they know that John Carter had a proposition for them up his sleeves, one they couldn't resist. They agreed to live in the manor one year to heal the house, filled with restless spirits. However, Elizabeth and Kim had a great deal to learn about the history of the three story monumental structure. Who else knew about the secret passageway, why did Betty's husband kill himself in the house, and what happened to Missy? Before a curse can be broken, Elizabeth and Kim had to dig into the past to learn about McCann, the Spencer family, and secrets that were hidden for years. Will the psychics discover the mystery of McCann's disappearance and if gold was hidden under the house as they attempt to get rid of evil spirits, or do they realize that they dug too deeply? Once they enter through the door of the rambling mansion, are they strong enough to face the consequences, and will they learn the true nature of the mystery? Were all the spirits freed and sent into the light? Charlotte Holley delivers not only an incredible page-turner made for the big screen that leaves you craving for more at the mysterious ending, but has crafted a powerful, edge-of-your seat suspense mystery that involves much more excitement than a haunted house, filled with evil spirits. "McCann's Manor:Portal" is thoroughly chilling, is as intense as THE AMITYVILLE HORROR, and as entertaining as WHAT LIES BENEATH. Highly recommended!

"HEARTFELT, CAPTIVATING, AND INSPIRING!"

Larry Allen became a big star as the quarterback on his high school football team. He was a leader, a mentor, and his entire life evolved around the love he had for the sport. He once believed in the old motto, 'Go hard, or go home!' In fact, thousands of sports players in today's world of tough competition still believe in the theory of 'No pain, no gain.' Like many sports lovers, Larry Allen had no fear as he focused on winning, not how many times he had a concussion, or the consequences of Traumatic Brain Injury. When he was warned not to play the game he loved, his life shattered, like broken glass. To make matters worse, his dysfunctional family needed as much therapy as Larry did, in order to help him. Denise Bartlett delivers an eye-opening awareness of Traumatic Brain Injury in today's sports and the challenges of rehabilitation, through the life of football star Larry Allen. It is quite obvious that the author's expertise on this subject matter is presented through extensive, informative research. In addition, I can witness the consequences of TBI, working in critical care units, supporting these patients in the healing process. This incredible, touching story of Larry Allen and his family, highlight the challenges that must be met, and the essential need for a new beginning. This issue that the author presents is an instant replay for sports lovers and their families, a wake-up call on statistics of injuries, and the crucial importance of rehabilitation. Denise Bartlett tells it like it is for today's young athletes in a message of hope and happiness for the future, with an uplifting spirit, through this gripping tale of a football champ. "THROUGH THE FLAMES" is as emotional as BRIAN'S SONG, as entertaining as REMEMBER THE TITANS, and as inspiring as THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN. Highly recommended!

"AN INTRIGUING, COMPELLING, AND ENTERTAINING THRILLER!"

It was November in Cassell Springs, and along with the changes in weather, Police Chief Baker and Ian Merryweather prepared themselves for changes on elections at another town meeting that Ian hated attending. Baker usually didn't attend these meetings, while hiding his gun under his jacket, but something made him bring the gun at the last meeting. Who left a threatening note on Baker's desk, and did Baker trust the new town manager? Was Erik bitter at losing the election, and why wasn't Barney there? Was Caleb angry at Baker for bringing Lee to town, and did Erik accuse Baker of rigging the election? Did Baker have a good relationship with his son, and why wasn't Barney accepted to the police academy? The heat begins to rise as much as the tension in a small town, known for Mount Rainier as it attracts the tourists, but discontent among the town's people turns ugly, while a horrifying murder is brewing. Mystery author, Cindy Davis takes the reader on a roller-coaster ride of chills and thrills as the suspense becomes intense in a murder-mystery that entertains from beginning to end. Who brutally killed Chief Baker, and what was the motive? Was the anonymous note a warning, and what was a woman doing with Barney's LTD? Did old man Donovan's collie have a reason to growl at the woman, who Baker was helping? Who is a prime suspect of Baker's murder, does Barney survive, and is Ian able to put all the pieces together in the mysterious puzzle as the clock continues to tick at a rapid speed? "MURDER BEYOND REASON" is as compelling as NO WAY OUT, as intriguing as THE FIRM, and as thrilling as DOUBLE JEOPARDY.

"A COMPELLING, EMOTIONAL STORY OF TRAGEDY, LOSS, AND LOVE!"

A talented, focused Broadcast journalist is known for her unique, mesmerizing reporting style, after she climbs the golden ladder of success. The well-known News-anchor, Skye Evans, is not only professional, but a pro on her job description. She is strong, filled with courage, passionate and determined to be the best, regardless of the consequences. Liz R.Newman takes the reader on a riveting journey through the eyes of the main character that tugs at the heart from beginning to end. A touching journey through the life of one woman, made for the big screen! I highly recommend this book to all romance lovers, who enjoy electrifying stories that are blended with drama, suspense, and humor. The reader is taken from the streets of New York City and Central Park as we can hear the clomping of horses' hooves from the creaky wheels of carriages, before we witness the devastation of September 11, 2001, to the magnificent villas in Italy. Did the bombings of the Twin Towers change Skye's life, and was romance in the air? This thought-provoking, incredible story, will bring tears to your eyes through loss, and make you smile through triumph. Enter an unforgettable journey from the glitter and gloom of New York to the fragrance of gardenia, expresso, and fine cuisine in Italy. Will Skye step out of the dark shadows of heartbreak and see the light at the end of the tunnel? "ETERNITY SKYE" is as entertaining as WORLD TRADE CENTER, as delightful as IT STARTED IN NAPLES, and as romantic as ONLY YOU, with Marisa Tomei.

"A COMPELLING, SWEEPING EPIC OF CONFLICT, ROMANCE, AND COURAGE!"

Award-Winning Author and teacher, James Conroyd Martin delivers a riveting historical saga in the finale of a thrilling trilogy that began with 'Push Not The River.' However, "THE WARSAW CONSPIRACY" is a stand-alone novel, a gem in itself. One does not need to read the first two books in the trilogy to appreciate, and enjoy it. This enthralling tale introduces the reader to the era of the eighteenth century Poland with romance and intrigue, as we prepare to enter 'Against a Crimson Sky' where the author weaves colorful characters into the devastation of war and turmoil, in a world of hardship and sadness. James Conroyd Martin concludes this sweeping trilogy of Poland in "THE WARSAW CONSPIRACY" with fascinating heroines, military warriors, and gripping tension in a heartfelt story, made for the big screen. This incredible adventure once again takes us through the lives of Anna and Zofia as we witness hostility, struggle, violence, and heartbreak. The author brings you on a thrill ride with unstoppable action, edge-of-your-seat suspense, and unforgettable characters in a breathtaking page-turner that the reader will ponder, long after this remarkable book is closed. "THE WARSAW CONSPIRACY" is a triumph in every aspect, is as brilliant as Lincoln, and as entertaining as Casablanca. Highly recommended!
