Drakon Jericho Drake, the child of a pure-blood dragon and human, has a simple plan: Kill the leader of the Knights of the Dragon and start a war. Except, when he meets his target, Karina Azarov, she can’t remember who she is. Worst of all––he can’t kill her. His dragon side has just claimed the dangerous woman as his mate.

Karina has no idea why these Drakon’s have taken her to their home. And she most certainly does not understand why she’s so drawn to her captor. Maybe because he’s strong, intelligent, and caring, in his enigmatic sort of way. One thing she knows, he’s not going to hurt her. If only she could remember something from her past that would explain why these Drakon’s hate her so much.

But if her memory returns, mated or not, he may get his war.. And one of them will die.

Read all the books in this amazing companion series!


Excerpt:
He caught her chin in his hand. Surprised by his action, she allowed him to lift her face until their gaze met.

“I had no plans to kidnap you.” His voice was so impossibly deep it seemed to vibrate in her very bones.

“No?” She reached up and wrapped her hand around his wrist. Or tried to. It was too thick for her fingers to reach all the way around.

“No.” He shook his head, making his hair flow around his shoulders. At some point, he’d lost the tie that had held it back. It was thick and lush, and she wanted to run her fingers through it, which was crazy, considering her circumstances.

The air practically cracked and snapped with tension until she wasn’t sure she could bear it for one more second.

“Well?” she demanded.

“I didn’t plan to take you.” He leaned inward until their noses were almost touching, his breath puffing against her skin. His nostrils flared. “No, I didn’t plan to take you,” he repeated as he rubbed this thumb over the curve of her jaw. “I’d planned to kill you.”

Surf and Sand by W.B.Edwards

The Girl In The Seaside Hotel
Literary Fiction, Mystery
Published: February 2019

 photo add-to-goodreads-button_zpsc7b3c634.png

Surf And Sand: The Girl In The Seaside Hotel is the story of a young girl and her family living in Hermosa Beach during the late 1950s, the so-called "Gidget Era" of surfing.  A formerly grand old hotel becomes the setting for the girl's growing obsession with solving the mysterious disappearance of another girl 21 years earlier in the hotel's basement swimming pool.  After a friend goes missing too, the detective from the original case, now nearing retirement, is called in to help solve the two cases, which may or may not be connected.



Excerpt

…There had been a large crowd in the ballroom that Saturday night, as a well-known jazz orchestra had been playing.  As many as 300 people.  None of the girl’s friends reported any suspicious incidents or encounters before the girl went missing.  Irene Young did not have a steady boyfriend or local family, and lived with another young woman in Hollywood, a woman who hadn’t been at the hotel or ballroom that evening.

Irene’s friends had tried to report her missing much earlier that morning, just after 2AM, with a mildly frantic phone call, but the police had just assumed she’d just probably gone home in a taxi-cab or with a friend or someone else she’d met there at the hotel.  And besides she hadn’t been missing the required 72 hours for a formal report.  Still, a police officer was eventually sent over just after daybreak, really just to placate her friends. It was all more or less routine until the shoes and necklace were found.  Then detectives had arrived to ask questions.

There were no obvious signs that any physical violence had occurred down in the pool area, but it couldn’t be ruled out either.  Eventually every room in the hotel had been searched for any sign of violence or evidence that Irene Young had been there.  Nothing was found to indicate she had.  She had simply vanished.

But one of the newspaper stories that Nell found had included a few of the witness’s first names and last name initial.  These were the names of Irene’s companions that had been interviewed by the police. There was a Joey F, a Clark S., and a Lois J.  And one of those names was a Virginia W.  That’s just like mother’s maiden name, she thought.  Worsham!  Nell had never heard of a Joey F., but there was Uncle Clark and Aunt Lois.  How could this be?   It couldn’t be coincidence, could it?  Sherlock Homes didn’t believe in coincidence.  Nell didn’t know what to think.  Or what to do.

The Going Back Portal by Connie Lacey

Time Travel Romance
Date Published: February 2019
Publisher: Wild Falls Publishing

 photo add-to-goodreads-button_zpsc7b3c634.png


The past is a dangerous place in this fast-paced time travel novel...

Kathryn Spears is a skeptical producer for a TV investigative news team. So when her grandmother claims a Cherokee Indian woman is living on a neighboring farm, she dismisses it as early Alzheimer's. Because, obviously, there is no farm nearby. Not in the present anyway. But when she follows Nana's lead, Kathryn is transported back in time to the year 1840 where she finds a young Cherokee woman left behind when her family marched west on the Trail of Tears.

Forest Water is ensnared in a perilous struggle to keep her ancestral lands against a violent white man who claims the farm, and then claims her as well. Desperate to help her new friend, Kathryn becomes entangled in a battle between good and evil with much higher stakes than she imagines.

Each of these young women falls in love with a man from her own time, but there are threats, both seen and unseen, that could cost them their lives.



Excerpt

From Chapter 2


“Are you Forest Water?” I whispered.

She nodded, a hint of surprise in her expression.

“Was that your husband?” I said.

Her answer was a tired sigh.

“Were you visited by a white-haired woman a few minutes ago?”

“I warned Old Grandmother to stay away. You must also.”

“But…”

She laid the baby on the blanket, got to her feet and pushed a narrow door open at the back of the hut where I’d first entered. She slipped outside, returning with a fig in her hand.

“You must eat this and travel through the doorway,” she said, placing it in my hand.

“I have so many questions.”

She locked eyes with me as though trying to look into my soul. Having apparently come to a decision, she squatted beside the blanket, folding it back to reveal a layer of pine straw. Scraping the pine straw aside exposed the lid of a large metal box. She lifted the heavy lid and pulled out a leather pouch. From the pouch, she withdrew a book, opened it and ripped a handful of blank pages from the back. She stuffed the loose pages back inside the pouch, returned it to the box, closed the lid and covered it with the pine straw and blanket. Then she handed me the book.

“You must go,” she whispered, eyes blazing.

“But…”

She gestured for me to put the fig in my mouth as she tugged the shawl from my shoulders.

I reluctantly placed the fruit between my teeth and passed through the small doorway.

Dizziness overwhelmed me as the buzzing in my ears returned, momentarily blocking out all other sound. I found myself standing in the clearing, the fig half-chewed in my mouth. I whirled around to discover the hut no longer existed. My muscles felt as though I’d run a marathon. Not willing to trust my wobbly legs, I remained motionless, dazed by what had just happened.

There were two possibilities – the figs contained some kind of psychedelic substance, causing me to have the same hallucination Nana had, possibly by virtue of power of suggestion. Or I had traveled back in time. Which was so freaky that my skin tingled. In my business, skepticism was ingrained. I wasn’t easily taken in by a ruse. What I thought had happened could not possibly be the truth.

I looked all around the clearing for the young woman who called herself Forest Water. Then, to be sure the shack didn’t still exist, I walked back and forth over the spot where it had been. There was nothing there.

Then I remembered the book. It was solid in my hands, the brown leather smooth to the touch. The book was real. The place was real. And as much as the rational part of my brain rebelled against the idea, I knew I had somehow visited the past.

Suddenly impatient to know the story of the mysterious dark-haired beauty, I made my way to a large rock on the riverbank. I untied the strap holding the book closed and opened it with care. So many words, perhaps written with a fountain pen or a quill, the letters sometimes puddled with excess ink, sometimes as thin as a strand of hair. The ink was black, the paper a cream color and rough to the touch. But the words were not in English. I had no idea what language or alphabet I was looking at. Some of the letters were familiar, but many looked like Arabic or Greek.

Carefully flipping the pages, I discovered the entire book was written in this foreign language. Completely inaccessible to me. I had to talk with Nana.

Five Hundred Feet Above Alaska by Robert M.Brantner


 photo cover_zps1aipz05j.png
Fiction
Date Published: 4/25/2019

 photo add-to-goodreads-button_zpsc7b3c634.png

500 Feet Above Alaska is the story of Peter Connors, a young man who moves to Alaska in pursuit of his dream of becoming a commercial pilot. While the pilots in Alaska are known for their superior airmanship, they are also famous for their disregard of the rules that govern them. Determined to ultimately be an airline pilot in “the lower forty-eight” Peter vows to walk the straight and narrow. Yet, when Peter is the only pilot available to rescue a comrade who crashed in the snow-covered tundra, he is forced to compromise the very ethics that define him. Over time, Peter’s competence begins to overpower his regard for the rules. Slowly, almost imperceptibly, Peter begins a downward spiral. The life Peter had carefully constructed for himself is at odds with the “live or die” flying of Alaska. Over the course of a year of doing battle with the elements on a daily basis, armed only with his plane, his wits and his skill to bring him home every night, Peter must decide whether it is more important to embrace life or cheat death.

The Divorce Recovery Ladder Guide is interactive and includes downloadable PDFs that will help you stay organized and on-track, understanding, and taking control of your divorce process.



Excerpt

The chaos that surrounded me, during my divorce, was so overwhelming that each day I clambered to find some semblance of order in my life.  My energies were pulled in so many different directions that I didn’t know where to turn.  I felt inundated with demands and responsibilities.  I became ineffective at everything I did as I tried to work, maintain our family home, and meet the needs of my two very traumatized children.

I felt like I was an island unto myself and knew that my children and I would suffer if I was unable to organize our lives.  To get us on task I purchased a binder, notebook paper and pack of dividers to start.  In the binder, I made sections for each area of my divorce process - one for legal, finance, therapy, the children, and self-care.  The more organized I became, even if only from a very surface stance, my overall perspective shifted from one of despair to that of hope.  Don’t get me wrong, despite being organized I still had a huge hill to climb.  Putting things into order enabled me to compartmentalize each area of the divorce and tackle the issues head on as methodically and rationally as possible.

My life, as I had known it for years, was no longer the same and my future was uncertain.  I had been thrown a huge curve ball when my ex-husband walked out on the children and me with checkbook in hand.  However, I knew that as long as I was organized, I could handle whatever came my way. This workbook is designed to help you structure your life so that you do not cave from the perils of divorce.

The Divorce Recovery Ladder is the program that I would have benefitted from during my divorce.  From the very beginning of my divorce, I envisioned myself climbing a ladder, starting at the bottom rung where I stood bare, raw, and exposed.  As I progressed through my journey, step by step, I eventually rose to the top of the ladder - strong and confident. This imagery, along with the actual work, made me triumphant. This is the process I want to share with you.

The Divorce Recovery Ladder Workbook is divided into two sections.  The first section defines divorce and its key components.  The second section is comprehensive; interactive with checklists and charts (available as a free download on my website) to help you better organize your life so that you may maintain physical, and financial balance. Even the subtle suggestions made in the workbook can help restore your life to a place of comfort and solace.  The workbook is short and very effective.

Excerpt


“Well, I hate to do this, but I am willing to let him go, with no charges if you can convince him to be an informant for me.”

“Excuse me?” Dex’s father responded, irritated.

“I know why you are here. Also, who you are working with and you are playing a dangerous game. I will stay out of that, but, your son is in the position to shed some light on this case and help your cause. There is something going on with the sports teams at that school. Kids going missing at the top of their prime, it’s frustrating we don’t know why.”

“I understand, but why would I put my son in danger to get you your answers?”

“Because it may help you get the answers you seek…for The Vigilant,” Detective Whalen whispered when he mentioned the last word.

“I’m not doing that. Would you put your kid in that kind of danger?”

“I’ve tried, but my son wasn’t good enough to be recruited by the elite on the team. He’s into other things, playing the guitar in a band. The Soul warriors have to be selected, it’s a process. Your son, he’s got what they are looking for, he’s strong, a bit impulsive, a fighter and not a detective’s son.”

Dex almost didn’t catch it, but had leaned in to hear every bit of their conversation.

“How about this, you put things in motion, my son doesn’t know he may be exposed to the information you seek. Let things play out, then if you need to question him, I’ll make sure he’s available for that.”

There was a pause of silence, “That’s fair and a good approach. The less he knows, the more likely he will be exposed too. You’ve got a deal.”

“And detective, don’t ever mention The Vigilant in my presence again. You can get my family and I killed if you do, and I fought too damned hard to be able to live to risk someone putting me and mine in danger.”

“Understood.”

Dex heard a slapping of hands and supposed they were shaking hands.

“Now, detective, can I see my son?”
