Join Clementine and all her friends for a rollicking adventure along the coastline!</b> </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Help build sandcastles and play in the surf, or admire starfish and seagulls while also learning about how to care for the oceans and the environment.

Let Clementine be your guide on her greatest adventure so far-to the beach! </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">What a beautiful, diverse world we inherited, a planet simply bursting with innumerable wonders to enchant and delight us. At the core, <i>Beachcombers</i> is a children's book about gratitude and the need to both contribute in practical ways to an environment we should protect and to imagine the fullness of our origins, so we can shape an equally bountiful future. The story names birds, fish, fauna and other animals as a way to weave a tapestry of specific creatures whose ecosystems need care, and the sounds and rhythms of their pronunciations when spoken aloud will entertain and mesmerize young readers. The children, and their dog, lead us and teach us: we should enjoy the mysterious and fanciful world all around us, but we should also act as caretakers for our environment. After we work and play, we are inspired to indulge our imaginations and learn to dream. After a full day, we rest in our dreams of the future. </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">"As seen through the eyes of adolescent children, Beachcombers is an enchanting story of responsibility and captures the impact humans have on our environment. Clementine and the young people teach us that we have the ability to change the world for the better--one piece of plastic, and one friendship, at a time." --Javier Rivera, GearUp advisor and educator </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Book #3 of the Clementine the Rescue Dog Series.

<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Guest book review by Carly Louise Wilson</span></b></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">‘Beachcombers: A Clementine the Rescue Dog Adventures’ is a beautifully illustrated read for not only children to enjoy, but their parents. I have previously read a Clementine book, and this was a perfect addition to a growing series.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">The book focuses on a trip to the beach, and sends a positive and friendly message on the importance of looking after the environment to really be able to enjoy it. (They have to clean up rubbish left polluting the beach)It’s done in a really light-hearted and fun way, and you get to enjoy the adventure, whilst learning in the process.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /></span><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This is an entertaining read and perfect for early readers. It’s not too lengthy, and there is enough activities to keep interest. I would recommend to all young children, especially those who love animals and going on trips to the beach.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>ALSO AVAILABLE</b></div>

<b>Join Clementine on a Winter Adventure in the Great Outdoors! </b><br />
<br />
Clementine and her two boys set out for adventure on a snowy morning, mittens and imaginations in tow, and discover, among the many wonders revealed during a day outside, the miracles of cascading ice falls, a warren of rabbits, and golden fish in a frozen pond. When they return home, their imaginations are warm as a fireside!<br />
<br />
"Ice Breaking brims with lively, engaging illustrations. I love a children's book with real art. Many modern children's books take shortcuts, but Icebreaking is a book to keep on the coffee table to enjoy again and again."
-- Markee Travis, Delta County librarian and artist<br />
<br />
"Clementine the Rescue Dog steals the show from the humans during their fun romp, and she shows them how to climb the snowy banks of their imaginations. They delight, and you will enjoy their marvelous adventure!""
-- Steve Rabey, author of <i>Star Struck</i> and other books<br />
<br />
"I love the softness portrayed in the illustrations. Clementine is incredibly expressive. The simple escapades of the children are enchanting and full of joy. What a pleasure to immerse ourselves in their play!"
-- Carol McDermott, poet, teacher and school board member<br />
<br />
"I am delighted to see Barbara Torke's humorous and expressive illustrations enhance the story of Clementine and her boys. The furry friends come alive in Barbara's creative hands: winter becomes welcoming and bright!"
-- Maryellen Miller, artist, gallery owner and writer

<b>Join Clementine on a Desert Adventure in the Colorado Dobies! </b><br />
<br />
Join Coover, Conrad and their mighty dog, Clementine, as they explore one of the most unique landscapes in southern Colorado--the Grand Mesa! Their grandma takes them to the Dobies, a series of steep hills made from adobe clay that formed as the nearby volcanoes, now extinct, eroded. At first, Coover feels a little sad and lonely, but as he is introduced to the rich wildlife--from woodpeckers to toads, cattails and sunflowers--he feels stronger and more confident. As both boys tramp through their imaginative journey, the vivid history and beautiful scenery awaken them to a new world full of possibility and friendship. By the end of the day, everyone is happily exhausted and ready for the next adventure!<br />
<br />
"Barbara Torke's ebullient paintings set a joyful mood as two adventurous boys and their valiant dog explore the ecology of the Colorado Dobies, an emotional landscape that at first seems barren and solitary, but, as the boys learn, is full of life. The story is about how imagination and companionship defeat loneliness, and the beautiful illustrations provide the rich texture of a vibrant journey of friends learning how to thrive."
--Sarah Treschl, Kurt Johnson award winning writer<br />
<br />
"A fun and insightful adventure with vivid visual descriptions and language that engages and challenges readers--both young and old. The paintings leap off the pages and into your imagination. A poetic and visual treat!"
--Marisa Donnelly, author of <i>Somewhere On A Highway </i><br />
<br />
"Hiking the Grand Mesa comes to life in every sentence--brilliant images, constant movement and supportive interactions as the characters explore nature, enjoy each other's friendship and build upon shared imaginations. What a wonderful reading experience! You can share the adventure with everyone in your family, young and old!"
--Steve Staley, professor, author and grandfather<br />

KYLE TORKE:</b> An adventure with children returns the adults in their company to a state of innocent wonder, and the transformative power of an alien landscape that forces us to look, really look at what is around us is a great joy. Grand Mesa is just such an adventure. As a writer, Kyle Torke hopes the best detail, the clear image, and the precise sentence will keep our eyes open as we read and then as we wander outside to see the world again-fresh now. He has published in every major genre (most recently a book of nonfiction, Tanning Season, as well as the first Clementine Adventure: Icebreaking!) and has taught at colleges and universities for nearly twenty-five years. He lives in Colorado with his family (wife Sarah and college-age sons Conrad, Coover, and Hunter and two canine friends, Nut and Bean). We encourage everyone to adopt from a rescue shelter and spay-neuter all pets! Take lots of walks and explore the world with children and dogs, our best guides.<br />

<b><b><b>Guest book review by Rachel Quaill</b></b></b></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">A harrowing tale of bravery and survival amidst a series of life altering events. Angie, the main character, shows resilience and bravery through ordeal after ordeal. She goes from being an innocent college student to being thrown in the middle of a sinister plan that is much larger than her FBI victim advocate ever could have imagined. On top of her dire situation and false arrest, Angie manages to escape from a human trafficker, jailhouse bullies, and a sick and twisted hospital worker. Although it seems Angie will never find peace again, she is able to rely on her FBI advocate, lawyer, and canine therapy pals.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /></span><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This is a page turning murder mystery with all the classic twists and turns you might expect. You are on the edge of your seat as you read through all the horrible actions of both law personnel and other bad actors. I quickly felt so horrible for Angie and her situation. You instantly bonded with her character and wanted her to find peace and happiness once again. Definitely a good read that will keep the detective in you riled up and ready to catch the bad guys.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><b><b><br /></b></b></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><b><b>⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐</b></b></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><b><b><br /></b></b></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><b><b>About the author</b></b></b></div>

<div style="text-align: left;"><b>NEW RELEASE</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Some fates are too tempting to deny… </b></div><div style="text-align: left;">If you love single-parent romances, you won’t want to miss Always Her Love, an emotionally gripping, funny, and sinfully-hot story of forbidden love, with a much deserved and epic happily ever after. Fall in love on the sandy shores of Silver Island, home to coffee shops, boat races, midnight rendezvous, and the sexy, sharp-witted Steeles. They have a penchant for pranks, a passion for loyalty, and a trunk full of secrets. All Steele novels may be enjoyed as standalone romances. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>In ALWAYS HER LOVE</b> </div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>"I'm pregnant. It’s yours. I’m having it, and unless you want it, I’m putting it up for adoption.”</i> Those were the words that changed Levi Steele’s life before he was even legally allowed to drink. There was never any question about whether he would keep his daughter, and eight years later, he doesn’t have a single regret. He owns a successful contracting company, he’s part of the Dark Knights motorcycle club, and Joey’s happiness is his top priority. None of that would be possible without the help of Joey’s beautiful and selfless aunt Tara, who’s going to be staying with them over spring break and who he’s been thinking about in ways he shouldn’t. But Tara’s older sister is Joey’s birth mother, and she’s the last woman the dirty-talking biker should want to get his hands on. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Tara Osten has been crushing on Levi for as long as she can remember. He’s a loving father, a loyal friend, someone with whom she can always be herself, and six-plus feet of deliciously hard, tattooed muscle. At twenty-four, she’s finally realized he will never see her as more than his baby mama’s younger sister. It’s time to let go of her lustful fantasies starring Levi Steele and move on with her life. Step one: Buy her own place and start dating. Step two: Survive spring break without falling harder for the one man she can never have.<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-weight: 400; text-align: left;"><br /></div>

It is the fourth book in the Steele’s at Silver Island series, and was entertaining and hard to put down.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">The book is about Levi, a man who is a single dad to an incredibly trendy and cool daughter Joey. Since becoming a father young, Levi has solely focused on his child, determined to provide for her whilst closing himself off to romance and relationships. Tara is Joey’s Aunt, and when she finds herself in a bind a needing somewhere to move, Levi automatically helps.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">A small comment made by Levi’s brother develops wings and plants the seed they they should perhaps become more than the close friends they have always been. The more this thought remains rattling around Levi’s mind, the more he becomes warm to the idea, and it is the only thing he can think of.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">Tara has had her own troubled past of being bullied, and when she is need of help, Levi and his daughter are always there. I love the chemistry of the characters in this book, and how real and genuine it felt. The connection is off the charts, their flirty exchanges exciting, and i couldn’t put it down.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">It is a story of love, friendship and family, and it was easy to become invested in the characters, the island and the romance.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /></span><div style="text-align: left;"><b style="color: #333333;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This book can be read as a standalone, or as part of an amazing series. It is perfect for those who love friends to lovers, single parent romances, and readers who are looking for a good series and book to delve into. Tara and Joey’s relationship was super sweet and I felt a real belief in them, they complimented each other well and their romance was perfect.</span></span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b style="color: #333333;"><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b style="color: #333333;">⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b style="color: #333333;"><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b style="color: #333333;">Tempted by Love (The Steeles at Silver Island, Book 1)</b></div>

<b>In TEMPTED BY LOVE… </b><br />
Years ago, bestselling author Jack “Jock” Steele lost his girlfriend and baby in a horrific accident that drove a wedge between Jock and his family, keeping him from sharing a devastating secret. An aging philanthropist saved him from the brink of despair, and for a decade Jock cared for his ailing friend who became his family. Now his friend has passed away and left him a fortune—on the condition that he publishes another book. Jock is floundering, unsure how to rebuild the life he’d walked away from, much less find his muse, have another relationship with a woman, or even think about having a family of his own. But he can’t get his sweet, sexy new friend, single-mother Daphne Zablonski out of his head, and her adorable toddler must know something he doesn’t, because she wraps her tiny fingers around his heart and won’t let go.<br />
<br />
Daphne has been through the wringer with her ex-husband and doesn’t believe true love is in the cards for her. Friends she can handle, but letting a man see her mom bod naked? Especially someone as strikingly handsome and unbelievably sexy as Jock? No, thank you. Besides, she has a toddler to chase after and enough fictional boyfriends to fill her lonely nights. If only her book boyfriends could make her body tingle the way one look from her mysterious neighbor does.<br />
<br />
As Jock and Daphne’s friendship turns to something too tempting to deny, their lives take an unexpected turn. Can a man who has lost everything find redemption with a woman who has everything to lose? And then there’s that secret…<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><br />

<br />
Leni Steele might be looking for love, but she’s definitely not looking to be someone’s fake date. Especially not one of the most infuriatingly handsome and annoyingly cocky actors on the planet, Duncan Raz. But when the owner of the PR firm for which she works forces her to walk the red carpet on his arm, she has no choice. Neither wants to be there, much less with each other. They’re like oil and water, and he gets on her last nerve. But after a few tequila shots, that’s not all he gets on. What was supposed to be one date turns into a media frenzy they can’t afford to ignore, and Leni has no other option than to continue the ruse. All the fake kisses furtive glances, and seductive touches eventually start to feel very real. But Raz didn’t earn his A-list-actor status for nothing. Is he just doing what he does best? Playing a role? Or is Leni the leading lady in Raz’s real-life love story?

<div style="text-align: left;">
A compelling new beach read from the authors of Mindful Writers Retreat. From new love to old love... even the love of a house plays host to generations of special events at Shell House. Beautifully situated between the Atlantic Ocean and Silver Lake, this magnificent home is the perfect setting for inner transformation and life-changing beach memories. From the Roaring '20s to modern times, the shifting sands lend a glorious backdrop to intrigue, bootlegging, a séance, an alien visit, and true love as precious as hidden treasure. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Contributors include: Lorraine Donohue Bonzelet, Gloria Bostic, Deborah Hetrick Catanese, Jennifer D.

Flora stirred, the wooden slats digging into her spine. The rising sun warmed her cheeks. Without opening her eyes she groped the sand for her hat and pulled it on. She swallowed anxiety and reminded herself that this would be the last time she took such a risk. The Shell House Soiree would bring enough lettuce for her to buy back her father’s farm, pay for her brother’s attorney, and more. She’d even begun to grow her hair out so she could easily return to boring old farm life without sparking the least curiosity from her old neighbors.</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">If only the booze had arrived on schedule she would feel as carefree as she needed to appear. Every other non-alcoholic detail for the party had been executed. She cheered herself with reminders that she’d never failed before. Yes, the boozy delivery was delayed. But better safe than stuffed away in the Big House and made an example of how bootlegging could go bad in a quiet, resort town like Rehoboth Beach.</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“Morning.” The Shell House cook Molly’s voice and the scent of coffee came from behind Flora. She gestured to a third chaise. “Sit. Have a cup. What’s new?”</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“Thank you,” Molly said, “but no. My family reunion.”</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Flora swung her legs around and put her feet in the sand, reaching for a mug. “Oh, right. Yes. You leave this morning.”</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“The servers you hired are already organizing in the kitchen, fluttering about the house, moving furniture for the band and…” Molly’s knuckles whitened as she gripped the second mug tightly.</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Flora understood Molly’s concern. She was the primary caretaker of the mansion nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and Silver Lake. “Mrs. Carpenter knows you’re not responsible for anything this weekend. Everything will be all right.”</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Molly sighed and set the second mug in the sand near Rachel who sat up. </span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“You little rosebud, you, Molly,” Rachel said. “You’re saving us with the best Joe I’ve ever smelled in my life.”</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Molly nodded. “It was lovely to meet you both. Thank you for promising to be gentle with the house and for, well, I baked something special—not elegant like the foods you’ve selected for the soiree but… I felt the need to make one humble thing. Just some canned fruit and flour.”</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Flora smiled, wishing she had more time to spend with Molly, the kind of friend she used to have. “You didn’t have to do that.”</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“Well, loooooky there,” Rachel said.</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Flora ignored Rachel, wanting to reassure Molly. </span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Molly continued. “I’ll stow it in the pantry for when you need something different, when, you know, when a need reveals itself. I don’t know. It’s silly.”</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“Sounds fabulous.” Flora wasn’t sure what Molly meant, but the lady had been so sweet and hospitable that she took the gesture to heart.</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Rachel shook Flora’s arm. “Seriously, look at those jelly beans.”</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Flora lifted her hat brim to see what Rachel was harping about.</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“I think my heart stopped,” Rachel said.</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Flora’s breath hitched. “I think the condition is catching.”</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Two men in deliciously immodest bathing costumes sauntered toward them like jungle cats, wet skin glistening. </span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Flora forced her breath to even out, confused, energized, curious as the gaze of the tall, dark heartthrob turned her inside out.</span></h1><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: x-large;">***</span></span></div><h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">TIME SHARE</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Larry Ivkovich</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Celine Vranic stood at the window in the second-floor bedroom of Shell House, the doomed Carpenter mansion. The huge master suite’s luxurious furnishings, including a four-poster canopy bed, hardwood floor, twin bathrooms, and wood-burning fireplace, held no interest for her. She’d studied and sketched all the rooms multiple times in the last three days. Now, only the view of the moonlit coastline between Delaware’s Rehoboth and Dewey beaches riveted her attention. </span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">She turned as soft footfalls behind her broke the spell. “Ready, love?” Julia Boisseau stood at the doorway of the bedroom. “It’s time.” </span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Time, Celine thought. That’s the irony, isn’t it?</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">The historic house and its acre of beachfront property had been for sale for over a year with no takers. A shame and a tragedy, everyone said, yet no individual or organization had been able to come to the mansion’s rescue, which was now slated for demolition. </span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">So it was up to Celine and Julia. Celine had come up with a fantastic, unbelievable plan but, with Julia’s mystical help, Celine was sure it could work. </span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“Not having second thoughts, are you?” Julia said. She and Julia married in 2013 when same-sex marriage became legal in their state. Julia was agelessly beautiful, despite her middle years. Her dark-brown skin was flawless, her youthfully trim, tall figure graceful beneath a long, blue sundress. Black hair tumbled about her shoulders in thin braids. </span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Second thoughts? Celine ran a hand through short, graying, auburn hair. She glanced at the jeans, sneakers, and T-shirt she wore over her own still-slim body. Her “traveling clothes,” as it were. She dressed for comfort because, as Julia said, no one at the party in the 1941 timeline would even know Celine was present.</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">She’d be an astral-projected observer out-of-time, an unseen temporal traveler, one not trying to alter the past in order to change the future. Or inhabiting the body of someone in that timeline in order to act. Or trying to find out who really assassinated JFK, stopping 9/11, or discover the identity of Jack the Ripper. As tempting as all that was, they could only perform this ceremony once, the numinous energies being site-specific. </span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Celine was determined to find something which had been hidden within the labyrinthine depths of Shell House decades earlier. A phone conversation with her grandmother six months earlier had been the spark…</span></h1><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: x-large;">***</span></span></div><h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">SEE YOU AROUND THE COSMOS,</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">SWEET CHEEKS!</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Phil Giunta</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><i>Dewey Beach, Delaware</i></span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><i style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">November 1983</i></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">In the chill of late autumn, Jenna wriggled her toes in the wet sand while gelid waves soaked the rolled cuffs of her jeans. She had driven to her family’s beach house in Delaware from the University of Maryland and arrived a few hours after sunset. No sooner had she parked her Fiero in the garage than she kicked off her Keds and rushed to the edge of the surf. </span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“Knew I’d find you out here, garotinha,” a voice called. “Only you would stand barefoot in freezing water to stare at the sky. Just like when you were little.”</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Jenna grinned at the familiar Portuguese diminutive for little girl, but her gaze remained fixed on the heavens as her family’s housekeeper, Rosa, trudged toward her with flashlight in hand. “It feels wonderful. You should try it.”</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“No, thanks. This old gal can see the stars just fine from back here.”</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“I might bring my telescope out to the patio tonight.”</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“You’ll have plenty of time for it. Your mother called a few minutes ago. There was some legal problem with that big merger. Your father had to go into the office to help with negotiations.” </span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Jenna kicked a clump of wet sand into the water. “Always business before family.” </span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“Your parents and brother won’t get here until after midnight. Want me to stay until they arrive?”</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Jenna sauntered up the beach and wrapped her arms around Rosa. “As much as I would love your company, I don’t want to keep you from your family the night before Thanksgiving.”</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Rosa shrugged. “I’m only going to Dover to stay with my sister and her husband for the weekend. They’re doing all the cooking. A traditional Portuguese feast.”</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“Sounds wonderful, but don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine tonight. I’m a big girl now, you know.”</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“You’ll always be garotinha to me. Can I make you something to eat before I leave?”</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“I grabbed pizza on the way.” </span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“I don’t know how you college kids survive on junk food. Look, a shooting star!” Rosa thrust a finger toward the sky where a small white orb streaked through the constellation Pegasus. “Make a wish.”</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“I’m not a kid anymore, Rosa.” </span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“You were a lot more agreeable when you were.”</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“That’s moving too slow for a meteor.”</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“Maybe it’s a jet or a satel—” The orb turned forty-five degrees west and shot across the sky until it disappeared behind the trees. “Meu Deus!” Rosa gaped at Jenna. “Tell me that was a UFO.”</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“Well, it was no jet or satellite and sure as hell wasn’t debris.”</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“You can tell your family you saw an alien ship.”</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> Jenna snickered. “I’m an astronomy major and a sci-fi nerd. They’d never believe me.”</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“I’ll back you up.”</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“I doubt that’ll help. You’ve been my partner in crime since I was five.” </span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“True, but what else could it have been?”</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“I guess we’ll never know.”</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“I can’t wait to tell my sister about it. Anyway, the turkeys are in the fridge and the dining room table is set.”</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“And I’m sure the place is immaculate as always. We’ll make sure it stays that way.” The women embraced once more. “Thank you for getting the house ready for us, Rosa. Safe drive to Dover and have a fabulous holiday.”</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“You, too. Hose the sand off your feet before you go inside and no wild parties tonight, garotinha.”</span></h1><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">“Just me, my telescope, and the stars. I’m sure that UFO was the craziest thing that’ll happen this evening.”</span></h1></div></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">

While many outsiders often try to distract a compromised child with upbeat messages and avoid talking about the elephant in the room, Serena Tejpar acknowledges the child's situation, even all of the bad parts, and then puts into perspective that there is more to the child than their medical condition. She is both realistic and supportive. Tejpar creates a self dialogue with positive messages the child can use, reminding them of their strength, resilience, and bravery. I am pleased to read a book written by such a medical student. Her empathy will carry her far as she exercises her skills in the life work of healing others." -- Laurie Zelinger, PhD, ABPP, RPT-S, Board Certified Psychologist, author of <i>Please Explain Vaccines to Me </i></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="color: #666666;">"As a Play Therapist I am constantly working with children with chronic issues.

<b>Guest book review by Carly Louise Wilson</b></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">You Are So Much More is a beautifully illustrated children's book, giving and providing a voice to those who have suffered and are suffering with an illness.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">It promotes enabling children to embrace and feel their true emotions during a difficult time , whilst also emphasising how they are also so much more than their illness. They have achieved and done things, and they can continue to live and enjoy more opportunities. It is removing a lot of stigma around children and many conditions and educating those who perhaps are not aware of how to communicate around such issues.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">The pictures are captivating and the language concise to ensure children are kept entertained and transfixed, and as an adult I thought it was a really good book to help educate children like my son when he is older. In the back of the book there is further information and I liked how there was a snippet to explain the purpose of the book and how the idea arose for the author.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /></span><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Healing is often a long and difficult process, and it helps to have reference material such as this to help guide people.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>About the Author </b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://serenatejpar.com/" rel="nofollow" style="clear: left; float: left; font-style: italic; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52168426447_ace0696c61_o.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Serena Tejpar (she/her) is a medical student at the Temerty Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto with a Master of Science in Global Health and a Certificate in Narrative-Based Medicine.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Serena carries a passion for the intersection of health humanities and clinical practice.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">Guest book review by Devorah Bergman</b></div><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Wow! This book was AMAZING from start to finish! Dare and Billie obviously have a lot of history between them and I love how Melissa Foster is able to weave their past into their current story as readers watch their love story unfold.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Billie and Dare both reacted differently when their friend Eddie lost his life in a freak accident. Billie shut down and went the safe route while Dare took many risks with his life. As the two of them started on the path to becoming a couple, they both had to think about their choices and find a new, happy medium.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Of course, there is a crazy plot twist in the middle of the book that had me screaming "WHAT? WHY?" but in the end, the plot twist added so much to the love story of Billie and Dare. I'm looking forward to seeing more of this couple as all of Dare's siblings find their happily ever after.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">Releasing 19th April 2023!</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">

The Joy Thief!</i> is a story that helps children and adults to discover more about a subject that is often difficult to understand. Demonstrating the subjectivity of trauma, <i>The Joy Thief! </i>highlights how a seemingly ordinary occurrence can have a significant impact upon the wellbeing of a child, particularly if left unaddressed. </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Challenging the idea that trauma only occurs during more "serious" incidents, <i>The Joy Thief!</i> leads us to conclude that such occurrences, or rather our responses to them, may be more significant for children's mental health than we would perhaps like to admit. </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">The story of <i>The Joy Thief!</i> encourages help-seeking, while challenging adults to consider the way they handle such situations. </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">The story is written in a person-centred fashion, seeking to normalize a range of outcomes that children may experience following a traumatic experience - including the little-acknowledged phenomena of imaginary "friends." </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Whilst highlighting positive themes of intersectional diversity, <i>The Joy Thief! </i>also challenges us to consider issues of parental absence, inattention, and invalidation within the context of the needs of children. </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Above all, <i>The Joy Thief!</i> is a story of hope. </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">"<i>This book demonstrates beautifully a gentle reminder to parents about the way that children can perceive the world and then models to children how talking about difficult things helps. Supporting better mental health and wellbeing for children is invariably about how the adults around the child respond to what is so often in front of our noses, yet we fail to always see.</i>" -- Lisa Cherry, schools, services & systems consultant, and author on trauma-informed & relationship focused practice (Twitter: @_LisaCherry) </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">"<i>The Joy Thief! is a joy to read and is a beautifully illustrated book with inviting and fun colours. The language is simple, using the idea of rhymes to communicate the powerful and crucial message of children sharing their fears and worries with a trusted grown up, so they can get rid of their Joy Thief and be happy. Learning to share our innermost anxieties and not hold onto trauma is an essential lesson that we need to teach at an increasingly early age.</i>" -- Deborah Somerset, safeguarding trainer and trauma-informed consultant. (Twitter: @DLSSafeguarding) </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">"<i>Sean McCallum has written a lovely book with vivid colors, rhyming text and a message. He describes how the unexpected appearance of spider frightens a young girl and the subsequent distress that builds up with repeated suppression of the memory. With psychological underpinnings, this book explores the impact of keeping upsetting thoughts pent up as well as the benefit of being able to share them with someone you trust.

It is suitable for all ages, and is an ideal book to assist parents in helping to demonstrate and understand traumatic experiences. The child in the story experiences something traumatic to them which could become a lifelong fear, and how the parent reacts is dismissive and unphased, which can later impact the child in future events and in being able to communicate any other traumatic experiences.</span></span></b></div><div style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: inherit; font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: inherit; font-weight: 400;">I love books such as these as they are a great go-to reference for adults/parents and carers on how to help/assist and deal with child trauma, but it is also a good way to educate children on those who have had differing experiences to them.</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: inherit; font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: inherit; font-weight: 400;">The use of rhyme helps deliver the story in a fun and captivating way, and all illustrations are colourful to draw you in.</span></div><span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400; text-align: left;" /></span><div style="font-weight: bold; text-align: left;"><b><b style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I would recommend to all parents and children.

<b>NEW RELEASE........</b><br /><b>
Blazing heat, laugh-out-loud humor, and an abundance of swoon-worthy moments make this sexy standalone romance by <i>New York Times </i>and <i>Wall Street Journal</i> bestselling author Melissa Foster unputdownable. </b>No cheating, no cliffhangers, and guaranteed to leave you breathlessly in love with the fiercely loyal and wickedly naughty Bradens. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>What happens when you find your soul mate but she belongs to someone else? </b></div><div style="text-align: left;">Months ago, famed wedding-gown designer Jax Braden met the woman of his dreams when a bride-to-be came in for a consultation.

When Jordan hires him to design her wedding gown, Jax knows he’s in trouble, but he cannot walk away. As business meetings turn to late-night confessions, their connection deepens, igniting passion too strong to deny. They’re drawn into an inescapable and forbidden love. Loyalties are tested and hearts are frayed, but neither will cross that invisible line in the sand. Come along for the sexy, emotional ride as Jax and Jordan face their toughest competitors yet—their hearts. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">** </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">LOVE IN BLOOM novels feature alpha male heroes and smart, empowered women.

<b>Guest book review by Carly Louise Wilson</b></div><div style="color: #333333; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400;">Then Came Love is the brand new romance book from Melissa Foster, and it is the ninth book in The Bradens & Montgomery’s Pleasant Hill and Oak Falls Series.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400;">Firstly you do not need to have read any of the previous books to enjoy this tantalising romance, as with all of Foster’s books they are uniquely tailored for anyone to sit and enjoy. But if you have previously read her book, you will have been like myself, desperately waiting for Jax and Jordan’s story.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400;">Secondly, this is an absolutely amazing forbidden romance! Jordan Lawler is set to be married and has opted for the famous Jax Braden to design her wedding gown. After an initial consultation, Jax is unable to get the incredibly beautiful Jordan out of his mind, but with a pending wedding, and a betrothal to someone else, it is more than complicated.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400;">But what happens when you feel a pull and instant connection to someone else? An incredibly hot and passionate romance! Jordan is unable to fight the spark building between her and Jax, and with a fiancé who is always away and opting to put others above her, she is starting to realise perhaps accepting a proposal was a bad idea.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400;">As a romance reader I hate cheating troupes, and i can say this story is written in a respectful way that will please all. Their romance is cute, the connection strong and you totally ship their happily ever after.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400;">I would recommend to all romance series lovers and those who want to get stuck into and excitingly addictive read. With Melissa Foster you will never be disappointed, and I know I can always count on her to deliver a flawless and heart captivating read.</span></span></div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;"><b>More Bradens & Montgomerys: Pleasant Hill - Oak Falls </b></div>

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">Welcome to Oak Falls, Virginia, home to horse farms, midnight rodeos, bookstores, coffee shops, and quaint restaurants where you’re greeted like family and treated like treasured guests. Buckle up for a wild ride. Like any Southern girls worth their salt, the sweet-talking, sharp-tongued Montgomery sisters can take men to their knees with one seductive glance or a single sugarcoated sentence. </span></div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><b>A second chance at their first love…</b></span></div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Leaving New York City and returning to her hometown to teach a screenplay writing class seems like just the break Grace Montgomery needs. Until her sisters wake her at four thirty in the morning to watch the hottest guys in town train wild horses and she realizes that escaping her sisters’ drama-filled lives was a lot easier from hundreds of miles away. To make matters worse, she spots the one man she never wanted to see again—ruggedly handsome Reed Cross. </span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">Reed was one of Michigan’s leading historical preservation experts, but on the heels of catching his girlfriend in bed with his business partner, his uncle suffers a heart attack. Reed cuts all ties and returns home to Oak Falls to run his uncle’s business. A chance encounter with Grace, his first love, brings back memories he’s spent years trying to escape. </span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">Grace is bound and determined not to fall under Reed’s spell again—and Reed wants more than another taste of the woman he’s never forgotten. When a midnight party brings them together, passion ignites and old wounds are opened. Grace sets down the ground rules for the next three weeks. No touching, no kissing, and if she has it her way, no breathing, because every breath he takes steals her ability to think. But Reed has other ideas… </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">The Bradens & Montgomerys are part of Melissa's Love in Bloom big-family romance collection.

<span style="color: #333333;">After Charlotte Sterling loses her last family member, she moves to Sterling House, her family's Colorado mountain inn, to live a solitary life. As an erotic romance writer, her days and nights are filled with passion and intrigue-even if only fictional. She loves her busy, quiet lifestyle, and she learned early on that real men can't live up to the fictional heroes she creates-until ruggedly handsome Beau Braden arrives to do some work at the inn and, for the first time in forever, she's intrigued by a real man.</span></div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #333333;"></span></span><br />
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #333333;">Beau lost his first love years ago, and he's never let go of his guilt over her death. As he nears the anniversary of his loss, he is on the cusp of becoming the star of a home-renovation reality show. Escaping the painful memories of his past to work at the defunct old inn is just the promise of solitude he needs to clear his head before diving in to the all-too-public career. But he didn't count on being attracted to the whimsical, adorably sexy innkeeper.</span></div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Neither Charlotte nor Beau is looking for an attachment or a fling. But the more they learn about each other, the closer they become. Romantic evenings lead to intimate conversations, and neither can deny their deep connection or the passion it sparks. They've never fully healed on their own, but together maybe anything is possible. </span></div>

When Graham Braden travels to Oak Falls, Virginia to attend the wedding of his buddy Reed Cross to Grace Montgomery, he sticks around to help with renovations to Reed's new theater. The last thing he expects is to be asked to assess and possibly invest in Grace's sister Morgyn's business endeavor. Graham is a careful, keen businessman, and Morgyn is impulsive, disorganized, and more interested in the energy flow in her eclectic retail shop than in the accuracy of her records. While Graham isn't ready to open his pockets to the sassy, sexy business owner, he may be ready to open his heart.

She is the deal he can’t close, the precious jewel even his billions can’t buy. Now that he’s back in the States, he’s determined to show her that what they have goes beyond the bedroom and finally make her <i>his</i>.</span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">Zev Braden and Carly Dylan were childhood best friends, co-explorers, and first loves. Their close-knit families were sure they were destined to marry—until a devastating tragedy struck, breaking the two lovers apart. Over the next decade Zev, a nomadic treasure hunter, rarely returned to his hometown, and Carly became a chocolatier and built a whole new life across the country. When a chance encounter brings them back into each other’s lives, can they find the true love that once existed, or will shattered dreams and broken hearts prevail? Find out in Searching for Love, a deliciously sexy, funny, and emotional second-chance romance.</span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Trixie Jericho is on a mission to start her own miniature horse business. She’s sick of being told her idea is <i>cute</i> and wants nothing more than to be taken seriously. When rancher and sought-after freestyle horse trainer Nick Braden offers an opportunity she can’t refuse, Trixie jumps on it. The problem is, she also wants to jump on <i>him</i>, but the bullheaded, big-muscled, motorcycle-riding cowboy doesn't mix business with pleasure. Little does he know, Trixie has never backed down from a challenge, especially one she wants more than her next breath. Saddle up, big boy, because this boot-stompin’, risk-taking, Daisy Duke-wearing cowgirl isn’t afraid to play dirty.</span></div></span></div><div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: left;">

She’s never needed thrills the way some of her sisters have. In an effort to control her epilepsy, she tries to avoid anything that creates too much excitement or stress—including relationships. When Amber hosts a book signing for famed-athlete-turned-author Dash Pennington, he’s everything she’s spent her life avoiding: loud, aggressive, and far too handsome, as proven by the hordes of women who surround him everywhere he goes. Amber can’t ignore the sparks flying between her and Dash, but this is a no-brainer for her: Ignore their chemistry and hold her breath until he leaves town. </span></div><div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">Dash Pennington has spent his life running. Running the ball in for a touchdown, running from town to town to appease his public relations reps, and running into the arms of too many women to count. He’s also an expert at protecting—his reputation, his sisters, and lately, his sanity. But he’s ready to make a change. When he comes to the sleepy little town of Oak Falls, Virginia, and witnesses the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen living the life he craves, she refuses to have anything to do with him. But now that Dash has found the one thing he doesn’t want to run from, he’ll stop at nothing to win her over.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;"><b>A sexy and soul-stirring novel about love, family, and rediscovering what matters most by Melissa Foster, the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Maybe We Will</i>. </b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">When workaholic Boston attorney Deirdra de Messiéres is passed over for a well-deserved promotion, she takes a two-month hiatus to show her boss just how much he needs her and heads home to Silver Island. But beyond seeing her sisters happy, home is not where Deirdra’s heart is. She has no interest in their family restaurant, the Bistro, or reliving hurtful childhood memories, and absolutely no interest in spending a single second with Josiah “Jagger” Jones, the Bistro’s too-laid-back musician and chef. Sure, the hippie is hot, but he drives her nuts. The guy lives in a van with his dog, and he can’t even commit to a solid work schedule. To make matters worse, he’s always around. She needs to get off the island, stat. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Jagger has overcome his own personal trials to place stock in life’s pleasures: family, friends, peace…and if he has his way, one positively beautiful, absolutely uptight attorney. Jagger knows he’s the perfect person to help Deirdra deal with her hurtful past and find her way back to being happy. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">A chance encounter leads to deep conversation, and night after liberating night, Deirdra lets down her guard. But neither has plans to stay on Silver Island. Free-spirited Jagger has wanderlust, and Deirdra has a career to return to. They’re on different paths, and plans for a future together don’t stand a chance. But when has anything gone according to plan?</div></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">

There have been hints to Deirdra and Jagger in previous books but I was honestly a little skeptical that their journey would be realistic to me - it was SO realistic that I cried and laughed...and everything in between...throughout this book. Melissa Foster did an amazing job creating a happily ever after for two people who seemed so different.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">My favorite part of the book was getting to see Deirdra rediscover all of the parts of herself that she had buried so deeply with the pain of her mother's turn to the bottle. It was amazing to see how Jagger was able to help her open up to rediscover herself but ultimately she needed to find her own footing to find her happily ever after with Jagger.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">I hope to see more of these two characters in other Silver Island stories.</span></span></div><div style="color: black; font-weight: 400; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div style="color: black; font-weight: 400; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">⭐⭐⭐⭐</span></div><div style="color: black; font-weight: 400; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div style="color: black; font-weight: 400; text-align: left;"><b>Also available...</b></div><div style="color: black; font-weight: 400; text-align: left;"><b>Maybe We Will (Silver Harbor Book 1)</b></div></div>

<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">When chef Abby de Messiéres returns to Silver Island with her sister to get their late mother’s affairs in order, she expected to inherit her mother’s bistro along with their childhood home, not to discover a half sister they never knew existed, and a handsome vacationer camped out on her mother’s patio. </div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">Workaholic Aiden Aldridge has been sent to Silver Island on a work-free vacation, armed with a “Let Loose list,” and ordered to get a life by the much-younger sister he raised after the death of their parents. After years of focusing on his sister’s well-being, he’s blindsided by his intense attraction to the gorgeous, free-spirited Abby. </div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">Aiden might not know much about chilling out, but he’s excellent at striking deals. He helps Abby with the restaurant in exchange for her help in tackling the items on his list. Sparks fly as Aiden and Abby work, and play, side by side. Intimate conversations lead to steamy kisses and undeniable passion. But there’s more to Aiden than Abby knows, and when the truth comes out, their new romance is put to the test, as the two find out if true love really can conquer all.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="font-weight: 400; text-align: left;">After spending years wondering who she was, tattoo artist Cait Weatherby finally found her answers on the sandy shores of Silver Island. With two half sisters she never knew existed, a group of friends she adores, and a devastatingly charming admirer who flirts with her at every turn, she’s ready to figure out her next steps. The trouble is, Cait lives in the shadows of a dark past, and she can’t afford complications that might cause her to lose the family she’s only just found―complications like blue-eyed boatbuilder Brant Remington, who is as open as she is guarded. If only the sexy charmer would take the hint… </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Brant is Cait’s opposite in every way, but he’s drawn to everything about the sexy newcomer―from the quiet strength that rivals the caution in her mossy-green eyes to her tough facade that he can’t wait to strip away. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">As Brant works his magic, Cait’s walls come down. But as sweet as that feels, Cait knows how quickly good things can turn bad. It’s going to take more than a little trust to beat the ghosts of her past and claim the future they both deserve.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="font-weight: 400; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">

<b><div><b><br /></b></div>Guest book review by Carly Louise Wilson</b><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">House Beside The River by David Burnett is a page-turning coming of age romance novel, which centres around one woman - Nicole Beaumont.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">As a child, Nicole has an event occur to her which changes everything. It shapes the way she views love and relationships with the opposite sex, it tarnishes her innocence and highlights the brutality and harm of a rumour.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">When Nicole purchases a house, it forces her to reminisce upon her past, evoking some memories in which she had chosen to forget. After an ultimate betrayal by someone she considered a best friend, you learn she is swept off to a girls private school, and thrust into a new life. It was from then onwards Nicole chooses to protect her heart and learns new skills in order to better herself.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">But true to life, a lot of things from the past have a funny way of coming full circle, and as a reader you are taken on a journey of discovery and are left wondering what decisions in life and love Nicole will make.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">This was a very addictive read. The rumour in which Nicole becomes wrapped up in, is something I can remember happening in a school I attended. Due to how upsetting and uncomfortable this was, it was excellent to see how Nicole had turned her life around and the successes she had accrued for herself. Oddly unexpectedly involving someone from her past:</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">This was a true to life, page turning romance read that I would highly recommend to someone looking to try something new, or to get wrapped up in a good love story.</span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐</span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div><b>About the author</b><br />

Gunner is her boss, roommate, and best friend. They’ve seen each other through life-altering injuries and unimaginable losses, and they work side by side at Wicked Animal Rescue, fulfilling their passion to save animals. Unfortunately, Gunner is also the man Sidney is in love with, and he's the ultimate player. As her former military comrade, Gunner sees her as his buddy—just one of the guys. Sidney is at her wit’s end, ready to risk the friendship and job she adores for a chance at forever love with the man she can’t live without. Like any good marine, she comes up with a mission. Enter <em>Operation Get My Guy</em>. </div><div><br /></div><div>Gunner loves his life. He has a family he adores, a brotherhood that always has his back, and a host of willing women to warm his bed. As the owner of Wicked Animal Rescue, he saves lives <em>and</em> works with his best friend, Sid, the coolest woman on the planet. When Sid concocts a crazy plan to win his cousin’s heart, Gunner reluctantly agrees to be her wingman. </div><div><br /></div><div>Practices heat up as roommates become teammates.

A captivatingly funny and deeply emotional new standalone romance by <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Melissa Foster.</b> When the Dark Knights at Bayside and the cast of Bayside Summers collide, sparks fly, and trouble—or maybe love—is not far behind.<br />
<b><br /></b>What do a cocky biker and a businesswoman who has sworn off dating bad boys have in common? According to Chloe Mallery, not much. <br />
<br />
Justin came into the Wicked family after a harsh upbringing by a thieving father. He’s gone through a lot to become a true Wicked, and he’s made them proud. Now he’s ready to show the woman he loves exactly what type of man he is. But Chloe Mallery has worked hard to move past her difficult upbringing, and she’s wary of getting involved with a man who looks like he’s walked right out of it. When tragedy strikes, will their trying pasts draw them together, or will Justin’s protective nature be too much for Chloe’s independent heart to accept?<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div>

If you think bikers are all the same, you haven't met the Dark Knights. The Dark Knights are a motorcycle club, not a gang. Their members stick together like family and will stop at nothing to keep their communities safe. Some of the Wickeds’ love stories will be hilariously fun and deeply emotional, others will tear at your heartstrings and include injections of humor, but they will all leave you wishing you could climb between the pages and join them. All Wicked novels may be enjoyed as standalone romances. <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><b>When the person you blame for your grief is the only one who can save you from the pain... </b></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Tank Wicked lost his sister and has since vowed to save everyone else in his path. He lives by the creed of the Dark Knights motorcycle club, sworn to protect and respect his community. He selflessly saves lives as a volunteer firefighter and treats the men and women who work for him at his tattoo shop like family. But life isn’t a balance scale where good deeds negate bad things to come, and one foggy night life guts Tank once again. When a car careens over the side of a bridge and into a river, Tank springs into action, plunging into the water to rescue the passengers. Four people go into the river, but only three come out alive. </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Leah Yates is just trying to make it through each day. When the man she blames for her grief becomes the only one who can pull her from the depths of despair, she discovers that even hope comes at a price. Maybe this time she won't have to face it alone.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

Each chapter began with a small excerpt that gave insight into what was to come in a way that entices the reader to want to know more. Each character in the book played their own integral part that added to the collaborative dynamic of all of the boys' stories. Each friend added their own backstory that gave the reader an idea of why they were chosen to become these super heroes for the community.</span></span></p><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Each boys’ story and character added to the overall hyper masculine and action packed smack downs that occurred in almost every other chapter. It helped soften their overall character in a way, making them more relatable and human. I would have liked the characters to have had the opportunity to develop a bit further in the story, but I have no doubt that they will be given that chance in future books that get written about these very interesting and exciting characters.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">⭐⭐⭐⭐</span></span></p></span><div multilinks-noscroll="true" style="color: black; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><b><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></b></div><div multilinks-noscroll="true" style="color: black; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><b><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></b></div><div multilinks-noscroll="true" style="color: black; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><b><span style="color: black;">About the author</span></b></div>

Knowing where to start with this book is tough, it has literally everything you could want from a romance book and more. Archer is the Alpha male character who I couldn't help but get reeled in by due to his raw magnetism. There is something about him that utterly gets under your skin. He is cocky, he is at times full of himself, but overall he is the kind of naughty but good guy that you want to fall for.</span></span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400;">Indi has returned to the island in the hope of starting up her business, her family are sceptical, but she is driven and is determined to achieve her dreams. Her only concern is the man she can't help but constantly fall for... Archer.</span></span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400;">Indi is determined to move on from him, certain he cannot be more than just a hookup.

He doesn't speak to his twin, which is a severed deep connection which has impacted his family. He also struggles with grief over the loss of a sister he could not save, and once you delve under the layer of his bravado, you can't not like him.</span></span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400;">Foster captures that forbidden romance feeling perfectly and this couple felt exciting, fresh and constantly had me page-turning. They suit each other in the best of ways, and I really loved Indi.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400;">I'd recommend this book to series lovers, but it also makes for the perfect read on it's own as all character history is explained.

<b>Enjoy heart-meltingly beautiful and toe-curlingly sexy romance in Tempted by Love, an emotionally riveting story about a man who has lost it all and carries a torturous secret, a divorced single mother who has everything to lose, and the little girl who helps them heal. </b>Fall in love on the sandy shores of Silver Island, home to coffee shops, boat races, midnight rendezvous, and the sexy, sharp-witted Steeles.<br />
<br />
<b>In TEMPTED BY LOVE… </b><br />
Years ago, bestselling author Jack “Jock” Steele lost his girlfriend and baby in a horrific accident that drove a wedge between Jock and his family, keeping him from sharing a devastating secret. An aging philanthropist saved him from the brink of despair, and for a decade Jock cared for his ailing friend who became his family. Now his friend has passed away and left him a fortune—on the condition that he publishes another book. Jock is floundering, unsure how to rebuild the life he’d walked away from, much less find his muse, have another relationship with a woman, or even think about having a family of his own. But he can’t get his sweet, sexy new friend, single-mother Daphne Zablonski out of his head, and her adorable toddler must know something he doesn’t, because she wraps her tiny fingers around his heart and won’t let go.<br />
<br />
Daphne has been through the wringer with her ex-husband and doesn’t believe true love is in the cards for her. Friends she can handle, but letting a man see her mom bod naked? Especially someone as strikingly handsome and unbelievably sexy as Jock? No, thank you. Besides, she has a toddler to chase after and enough fictional boyfriends to fill her lonely nights. If only her book boyfriends could make her body tingle the way one look from her mysterious neighbor does.<br />
<br />
As Jock and Daphne’s friendship turns to something too tempting to deny, their lives take an unexpected turn. Can a man who has lost everything find redemption with a woman who has everything to lose? And then there’s that secret…<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><br />

Young Alex is beyond excited on Christmas Eve. He knows that Christmas celebrates the birthday of Jesus Christ, and he cannot wait for tomorrow to come - he wants a puppy of his own to play with and love. On Christmas Day, he opens a large box with, yes, a puppy inside. Alex names him Zipper! However, when grandparents come bearing gifts, Zipper bounds out of the open door. Mother and Alex then begin a neighborhood adventure as they search for a runaway dog and meet neighbors with different winter holiday celebrations and traditions: the Hindu Diwali, the Jewish Hanukkah, the Latinx Las Posadas and the African-American Kwanzaa. Alex then returns home for a Christmas feast, happy with his new canine companion and the knowledge that his neighborhood is filled with amazing people who are more alike than different.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">"<i>Kelly Darmofal takes her readers on an unexpected Christmas journey that leads her readers to discover the beauty of our diverse winter holidays!

<b style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="font-family: inherit;">Guest book review by Carly Louise Wilson</b></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400;">Holidays With A Tail by Kelly Bouldin Darmofal, is a beautifully illustrated children’s book that is perfect for children to help explain the practices of Christmas in a range of cultures.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400;">Acceptance of diversity comes with the educating of young minds, and I love that we are becoming a society where we have many resources at our disposal to help in the educating and learning process. As a soon to be mum I am looking forward to reading my little boy books such as this to explain other cultures in a respectful, accurate and detailed way.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400;">The book focuses on a little boy Alex who has wanted a puppy got Christmas. He believes it will be the best friend he’s always wanted. Upon spotting a puppy he is delighted but the rambunctious ‘Zipper’ escapes, it forces Alex and his mother to chase after the puppy.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400;">Upon their journey to retrieve their pet, Alex is curious about the celebrations of those around him. Noticing that they are following traditions not familiar to his household. His mother takes the time to explain about differing cultures, beliefs, traditions and practices and how we can all exist celebrating in our own way.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400;">The illustrations are details, the writing easy for slightly older children and the book does contain a lot of detail, highlighting key and important words to the cultures being discussed.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: 400;">A good festive book to help entertain and educate. A perfect addition to an already colourful bookshelf.</span></span></b></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></b></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400;">⭐⭐⭐⭐</span></b></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="font-family: inherit;">More books by the author</b></b><br />

<div style="text-align: left;"><i style="font-style: italic;">Amanda's Fall</i><i>, </i>with charming illustrations by Bijan Samaddar, depicts an event common in schools today. Young Amanda gets a concussion after falling and hitting her head during recess. While she can hear people talking, she cannot respond. Amanda is taken to a doctor for evaluation. Wisely, her parents ask for a prognosis, which in Amanda's case, is a good one. Author Kelly Darmofal offers readers her third book on TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury), encouraging parents and caretakers to alert schools and, hopefully, doctors when any child is concussed; side effects can then be ameliorated. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">Studies show that Traumatic Brain Injuries represent the leading cause of death and disability in young adults in industrialized countries. According to the CDC, at least 564,000 children are seen each year for brain injury in hospital emergency departments and released. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;"><i style="font-style: italic;">Lost in My Mind </i>is a stunning memoir describing Kelly Bouldin Darmofal's journey from adolescent girl to special education teacher, wife and mother -- despite severe Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Spanning three decades, Kelly's journey is unique in its focus on TBI education in America (or lack thereof). Kelly also abridges her mother's journals to describe forgotten experiences. She continues the narrative in her own humorous, poetic voice, describing a victim's relentless search for success, love, and acceptance -- while combating bureaucratic red tape, aphasia, bilateral hand impairment, and loss of memory. Readers will:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">- Learn why TBI is a "silent illness" for students as well as soldiers and athletes.</div><div style="text-align: left;">- Discover coping strategies which enable TBI survivors to hope and achieve.</div><div style="text-align: left;">- Experience what it's like to be a caregiver for someone with TBI.</div><div style="text-align: left;">- Realize that the majority of teachers are sadly unprepared to teach victims of TBI.</div><div style="text-align: left;">- Find out how relearning ordinary tasks, like walking, writing, and driving require intense determination.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Kelly Bouldin Darmofal is currently a freelance writer, wife, educator and stay-at-home mother. Despite her 1992 severe closed head injury, she graduated cum laude in Communication from Salem College (2000), later receiving a Masters in Special Education from Salem (2006). She studied Spanish in Merida, Mexico and took courses at UCLA, UNC-CH, and Wake Forest University. Kelly was employed by the Winston-Salem, NC chapter of the American Red Cross as volunteer coordinator before working in ESL at Reynolds High School, followed by a semester in Special Education at Thomas Jefferson Middle School. Kelly worked personally with Dr. Bethanie Tucker, Averett University, to be trained in Tucker Signing Strategies for Reading (2005). In 2005 Kelly joined the Forsyth Country Day School faculty in the Johnson Academic Center as an LD Specialist. In 2007 Kelly accepted a 2nd grade position at Summit School, and taught there four years until the birth of her son. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">She currently tutors children as a Wilson Reading Specialist and is a published writer. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Her article on traumatic brain injury (TBI) and education was published in English Journal in 2005; "Our Teachers Are Not Prepared" won an Edwin M. Hopkins award in 2006 (NCTE). She is a feature contributor to Lost Treasure magazine, and has been a speaker on the subject of TBI at Wake Forest, Salem College, and the Summit School. With the publication of online articles related to TBI in addition to her memoir, Kelly continues to advocate for the TBI of America - especially students.
"No teacher in high school or college was trained to work with students like me," says Kelly, the first TBI-certified student in her high school. She admits the American military and sports organizations are now attempting to address the TBI issue. However, IDEA, or the Individual with Disabilities Education Act, has made TBI a certifiable disability category (in 1990) without assuring appropriate teacher training. She remarks on this "black hole" in education whenever possible, and relates her early TBI experiences with hopes of affecting change. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Kelly has found canine care and rescue to be both a rewarding and healing hobby. Currently she owns two rescue mutts - Mitzy and Buddie.</span></div>

Bringing aspects of the Guskys’ good works to life was more fun than I could have imagined!"</i> ~ Kathleen Shoop</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Guest book review by Carly Louise Wilson</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">If you have a penchant for captivatingly detailed historical reads, then I would highly recommend Kathleen Shoop. I've become an avid reader of her work over the last couple of years, and every story she writes completely encapsulates me and leaves me with all kinds of thoughts and feelings. Tin Whistle was no exception, and put me in that light-hearted Christmas spirit, and the moral of giving back and remembering those who perhaps aren't as fortunate felt prominent.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">The book focuses around two characters over two differing timelines; A young Jacob Gusky in 1854 and Frannie a destitute widow who is forced to make an impossibly heart-wrenching decision.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">Jacob was a poor boy who grew up in a Boys home. He's experienced having nothing, but remembers a true act of kindness when he was given a small tin whistle. Now that he has forged a successful career for himself, the memory evokes a need for him to give back.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">This story is a true page-turner that totally highlighted so many thought provoking morals. To remember those who aren't as fortunate, to help people if you have the means as you never know if/when you may need it, and also that it doesn't matter your faith or religion, everyone is capable of being nice to one another.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">I adored this book and would recommend to those looking for a good historically festive read. It is detailed, the imagery on point and Shoop always transports me back to another place in time and enables my imagination to run free.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Also available...</b></div>

In the holiday carpool chaos his extravagant, lucky coat goes missing. In a panic, he searches for his coat, tracing its path as it passes through the hands of good people in dire situations. Meanwhile, his plan to WOW his wife Libby with an ostentatious gift reveals Elliot’s shallowness to the world and mortifies his entire family. Is it too late for him to rediscover the meaning of Christmas, to remember who he is without all the trappings of the job that defines him? Can Libby and their children ever forgive him?</div>

More than half of children in the 6-17 year-old range report a strong fear of needles. Nearly 25% of adults do as well.

Ramped-up anxiety can lead to tantrums, meltdowns, outbursts and even fainting. That 30-second experience can be a nightmare for parents for and nursing staff alike. This resource will help to improve that dreaded scenario.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">The book opens with an engaging story for children where rhyme, colorful illustrations and characters of diversity capture a child's interest as they identify with a girl who has similar fears. The children's section is followed by a comprehensive guide for parents and caregivers, based on empirical research as well as Dr. Zelinger's decades of experience as a child psychologist, where she offers information and explicit solutions to help deal with the anxiety surrounding this common medical procedure. </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Children will: </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">• Identify with the main character and her fear of shots </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">• Enjoy the colorful illustrations and happy story ending </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">• Learn coping mechanisms to deal with frightening situations </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">• Feel supported by their parents who will know how to help </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">• Reduce their anxiety and become more cooperative during medical visits </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Parents/Caregivers will: </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">• Understand the reasoning behind the fear of injections </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">• Learn strategies to help their child before and during a medical visit </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">• Be better able to comfort their child </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><i>"Dr. Laurie Zelinger has done it again with another excellent child and parent-friendly book that helps to allay fears and empower families and professionals with the tools to help children develop healthy coping skills. Please Explain Vaccines to Me has it all: a relatable and simple yet engaging text in rhyme that is fun to read aloud, as well as colorful illustrations that provide an honest and relatable depiction of the emotions involved.

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b style="font-family: inherit;">Guest book review by Devorah Bergman</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Wow! From start to finish, I really enjoyed reading this book. I found that the story was at a basic level to help children really understand that it is okay to be nervous about getting shots while explaining the reason for shots. I absolutely LOVE the children's artwork embedded in the book - that is a powerful tool for children to see the work of others.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">The piece for parents and caregivers was great as well. I really enjoyed reading the section on "How Can I help my Child Manage Their Fear" because I get asked that question as a teacher. There are 13 strategies listed and I'm sure parents can use the variety of strategies to help their child learn about shots and help their children overcome the fear of shots.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Finally, the back of the book is GREAT with the objectives. It is a quick snapshot for parents and educators to learn about the contents of the book to decide if it is the right fit for the child.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">I'm looking forward to more work by this author.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐</span></div>

<div style="font-weight: 400; text-align: left;"><b>An emotional and sexy novel about guarded hearts, finding love, and families lost and found by Melissa Foster, the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of Maybe We Will. </b></div><div style="font-weight: 400; text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: left;">After spending years wondering who she was, tattoo artist Cait Weatherby finally found her answers on the sandy shores of Silver Island. With two half sisters she never knew existed, a group of friends she adores, and a devastatingly charming admirer who flirts with her at every turn, she’s ready to figure out her next steps. The trouble is, Cait lives in the shadows of a dark past, and she can’t afford complications that might cause her to lose the family she’s only just found―complications like blue-eyed boatbuilder Brant Remington, who is as open as she is guarded. If only the sexy charmer would take the hint… </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Brant is Cait’s opposite in every way, but he’s drawn to everything about the sexy newcomer―from the quiet strength that rivals the caution in her mossy-green eyes to her tough facade that he can’t wait to strip away. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">As Brant works his magic, Cait’s walls come down. But as sweet as that feels, Cait knows how quickly good things can turn bad. It’s going to take more than a little trust to beat the ghosts of her past and claim the future they both deserve.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="font-weight: 400; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">When chef Abby de Messiéres returns to Silver Island with her sister to get their late mother’s affairs in order, she expected to inherit her mother’s bistro along with their childhood home, not to discover a half sister they never knew existed, and a handsome vacationer camped out on her mother’s patio. </div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">Workaholic Aiden Aldridge has been sent to Silver Island on a work-free vacation, armed with a “Let Loose list,” and ordered to get a life by the much-younger sister he raised after the death of their parents. After years of focusing on his sister’s well-being, he’s blindsided by his intense attraction to the gorgeous, free-spirited Abby. </div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">Aiden might not know much about chilling out, but he’s excellent at striking deals. He helps Abby with the restaurant in exchange for her help in tackling the items on his list. Sparks fly as Aiden and Abby work, and play, side by side. Intimate conversations lead to steamy kisses and undeniable passion. But there’s more to Aiden than Abby knows, and when the truth comes out, their new romance is put to the test, as the two find out if true love really can conquer all.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">

This book was another brilliant piece by Melissa Foster. Diesel and Tracey have appeared in multiple books and while it always appeared that there was some sort of spark between them, when they finally get together as a couple, it is as if each one finds a missing piece of themselves.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">Throughout the book, Diesel and Tracey have their ups and downs as a couple. The two of them learn how to navigate the waters of coupledom, which include communicating, in a beautiful way and both of them realize that they are no longer alone. When life throws Diesel a curveball no one could have seen coming, Tracey is there for him to deal with all of the emotions that flood him.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">I loved this book and hope to see more of Diesel and Tracey in the next series.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">5 Stars</span></span></div>

<b>In TRU BLUE…</b></div>
There's nothing Truman Gritt won't do to protect his family--Including spending years in jail for a crime he didn't commit. When he's finally released, the life he knew is turned upside down by his mother's overdose, and Truman steps in to raise the children she's left behind. Truman's hard, he's secretive, and he's trying to save a brother who's even more broken than he is. He's never needed help in his life, and when beautiful Gemma Wright tries to step in, he's less than accepting. But Gemma has a way of slithering into people's lives and eventually she pierces through his ironclad heart. When Truman's dark past collides with his future, his loyalties will be tested, and he'll be faced with his toughest decision yet.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Eight months is a long damn time to have the hots for a woman who keeps a guy at arm’s length. But Crystal Moon is no ordinary woman. She’s a sinfully sexy, sass-mouthed badass, and the subject of Bear Whiskey’s midnight fantasies. She’s also one of his closest friends.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Just when Crystal thinks she has her life under control, scorching-hot, possessive, aggressive, and fiercely loyal Bear pushes all her sexual buttons, relentless in his pursuit to make her his.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The more Bear pushes, the hotter their passion burns, unearthing memories for Crystal that are best kept buried. But there’s no stopping the collision of her past and present, catapulting the two lovers down an emotionally charged road that has them questioning all they thought they knew about themselves.</span><br /><br />

Special Forces veteran and Dark Knights Motorcycle Club member Bullet Whiskey lives to protect his family, their bar, and the residents of his small hometown. He’s rough, unapologetic, and haunted by a secret, painful past. He’s also a master at keeping people away, and when his sister hires gorgeous and sweet Finlay Wilson to help expand their biker bar, he knows just how to get rid of her.<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">After losing her boyfriend and her father, Finlay moves back to her hometown to be closer to the little family she has left. She needs her temporary job at Whiskey Bro’s to get her catering business off the ground, and she’s determined not to let the gruff, arrogant mountain of a man Bullet Whiskey scare her off.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">Finlay is everything Bullet has never wanted. She’s afraid of his dog, afraid of motorcycles, and sweet enough to give him cavities, but as she weaves her way into the hearts of everyone around him, he’s powerless to resist her charms. Passion ignites, but trust doesn’t come easily, and when their pasts collide, Bullet finds out the true meaning of protecting those he loves.</span><br /><br /></div>

With two small children to care for and another on the way, she's finally found a home in Peaceful Harbor with the brother she hasn't seen in more than a decade. She's still searching for her sister, but life is good.

But will the fiercely loyal biker stick around when Sarah's worst secret is revealed, or will he shed his skin, too?</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><br />

<span><b>In MAD ABOUT MOON...</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Can true love strike twice in one lifetime? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Josie Beckley refuses to believe there is a limit on happiness. A decade after she escaped her abusive parents and lost touch with her siblings, the death of her husband leaves her and her son homeless. But Josie has never been one to wallow in sadness, and when she takes a chance on reconnecting with her siblings, a sinfully handsome bright light from her past shows up and offers to help her find a way out of the darkness. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Most people wouldn't see Jed Moon as someone to look up to. He's been in and out of jail and has lived a less-than-stellar lifestyle. But years ago one woman saw through his bullshit, and he's never forgotten her. Now she's back in his life, and as a prospect for the Dark Knights motorcycle club, Jed promises to keep an eye on the sassy, sexy single mother who has never stopped lighting his fantasies on fire. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Jed and Josie's combustible connection is stronger than ever. Having Josie and her son in his life brings out all of Jed's protective instincts-and visions of a future he never imagined having. But when a shocking revelation knocks the insatiable lovers to their knees, it forces them to make choices that could change their lives forever.</span><br />

Being the princess of the Dark Knights motorcycle club doesn’t come with a white knight or a fairy-tale castle, and that’s okay, because Dixie Whiskey has never needed a man to slay her dragons or make her whole. Even so, after watching each of her brothers fall in love, she’d sure like a shot at her own happily ever after. But with the Dark Knights watching over her and the only man she’s ever wanted out of reach, she’s not holding her breath.<br />
<br />
As the launch of Silver-Stone Cycles’ biggest line approaches, Jace Stone is left needing a favor from the one woman who holds the power to take him to his knees. He knows when it comes to sinfully gorgeous and sharp-tongued Dixie Whiskey, he must stay on his toes and keep his walls firmly in place. But Jace needs her for his business—and Jace Stone always gets what he wants.<br />
<br />
When the tall, gruff, and darkly handsome biker presents an opportunity that any other woman might see as the chance of a lifetime, Dixie turns him down flat. But Jace is determined, and he pulls out all the stops—sending Dixie’s overprotective brothers up in arms. Rebellious Dixie takes a stand—going after the freedom, and the man, she’s always wanted. One scorching kiss leads to an undeniable connection, but Jace isn't looking to be tied down, and Dixie refuses to play second fiddle. Can two untamable hearts find forever love in each other’s arms?<br /><br />

He’s confessed to his crimes and conquered his addictions. He’s finally ready to go after sweet, sexy Roni, the gorgeous brunette who won a date with him in a charity auction five months ago and has been putting him off, and driving him wild, ever since. </div><div><br /></div><div>Dancer Veronica “Roni” Wescott worked hard to escape the seedy area where she was raised and followed her dreams to Julliard, only to have them shattered in the blink of an eye. She fought hard and regained her footing, but then the rug was pulled out from under her again when the grandmother who raised her passed away, leaving Roni feeling adrift in a world she knows very little about outside of dance. And then there's Charlie Hunnam–lookalike Quincy Gritt—the man whose late-night texts pulled her through her grief and have been setting her heart aflutter for months. </div><div><br /></div><div>Quincy pulls out all the stops, determined to prove that their friendship is only the beginning of what’s destined to be so much more. Romantic nights lead to smoldering passion and a deep connection too strong to be denied. But when Quincy’s past comes back to haunt him, can he and Roni accept their new gritty truth, or will Quincy spiral back into the darkness and lose the future he fought so hard to have?<br />

Please Explain Alzheimer's Disease to Me</i> introduces the condition to children in a colorful, sensitive and gentle story, followed by a parent/caregiver section that supplies comprehensive information that adults can use to understand and plan for the course of the disease affecting their loved one. Dr. Zelinger, a board-certified psychologist for children, presents the situation to children in a warm, developmentally appropriate way using appealing characters of diversity, child friendly language and familiar scenes they can relate to, as well as scripts that parents can use when speaking to their child. This book is more than a helpful guide-it's the only book you will need if you have a child who is asking, "What's wrong with grandpa?" </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Children will: </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">- Enjoy the story and illustrations and will identify with the main characters </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">- Get answers to their questions </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">- Grasp the nature and reason for a grandparent's changes </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">- Learn basic biological information about brain function </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">- Understand why a grandparent will require more care </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">- Feel empowered and find ways they can be helpful </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Parents and caregivers will: </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">- Have word-for-word scripts available to answer their child's questions </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">- Learn about the progression of the disease </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">- Understand their role and the nature of care that is required </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">- Gain information for decision-making in areas of medical, emotional and daily care </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">- Know they are not alone in this difficult journey </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><i>"Dr. Zelinger has provided an engaging book that presents important information in a user-friendly format and offers adults the foundation for easily engaging children in what may initially seem like a very difficult discussion.

<br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Guest book review by Devorah Bergman</b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">This book was beautifully written and honestly made me cry at the powerful, yet simplistic story to use to teach children about Alzheimer's. This disease causes so much fear and anxiety in adults...and kids pick up on that. The way this book describes Alzheimer's will help children understand the pieces of the disease they need to understand in order to interact with adults diagnosed with Alzheimer's. It also allows for asking questions and making connections which will help children learn to embrace the disease in a loved one as part of their life.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">I'm so impressed with everything I read from Dr. Zelinger and will definitely recommend this book to parents if students are struggling.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">5 Stars</span></span></div>

<b>NEW RELEASE........</b><br />

She’s never needed thrills the way some of her sisters have. In an effort to control her epilepsy, she tries to avoid anything that creates too much excitement or stress—including relationships. When Amber hosts a book signing for famed-athlete-turned-author Dash Pennington, he’s everything she’s spent her life avoiding: loud, aggressive, and far too handsome, as proven by the hordes of women who surround him everywhere he goes. Amber can’t ignore the sparks flying between her and Dash, but this is a no-brainer for her: Ignore their chemistry and hold her breath until he leaves town. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">Dash Pennington has spent his life running. Running the ball in for a touchdown, running from town to town to appease his public relations reps, and running into the arms of too many women to count. He’s also an expert at protecting—his reputation, his sisters, and lately, his sanity. But he’s ready to make a change. When he comes to the sleepy little town of Oak Falls, Virginia, and witnesses the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen living the life he craves, she refuses to have anything to do with him. But now that Dash has found the one thing he doesn’t want to run from, he’ll stop at nothing to win her over.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">The Bradens & Montgomerys are part of Melissa's Love in Bloom big-family romance collection.

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">Welcome to Oak Falls, Virginia, home to horse farms, midnight rodeos, bookstores, coffee shops, and quaint restaurants where you’re greeted like family and treated like treasured guests. Buckle up for a wild ride. Like any Southern girls worth their salt, the sweet-talking, sharp-tongued Montgomery sisters can take men to their knees with one seductive glance or a single sugarcoated sentence. </span></div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><b>A second chance at their first love…</b></span></div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Leaving New York City and returning to her hometown to teach a screenplay writing class seems like just the break Grace Montgomery needs. Until her sisters wake her at four thirty in the morning to watch the hottest guys in town train wild horses and she realizes that escaping her sisters’ drama-filled lives was a lot easier from hundreds of miles away. To make matters worse, she spots the one man she never wanted to see again—ruggedly handsome Reed Cross. </span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">Reed was one of Michigan’s leading historical preservation experts, but on the heels of catching his girlfriend in bed with his business partner, his uncle suffers a heart attack. Reed cuts all ties and returns home to Oak Falls to run his uncle’s business. A chance encounter with Grace, his first love, brings back memories he’s spent years trying to escape. </span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">Grace is bound and determined not to fall under Reed’s spell again—and Reed wants more than another taste of the woman he’s never forgotten. When a midnight party brings them together, passion ignites and old wounds are opened. Grace sets down the ground rules for the next three weeks. No touching, no kissing, and if she has it her way, no breathing, because every breath he takes steals her ability to think. But Reed has other ideas… </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">The Bradens & Montgomerys are part of Melissa's Love in Bloom big-family romance collection. All Love in Bloom novels are written to stand alone and may also be enjoyed as part of the larger series, so dive right into this fun, sexy romance.</span><br />

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #333333;">After Charlotte Sterling loses her last family member, she moves to Sterling House, her family's Colorado mountain inn, to live a solitary life. As an erotic romance writer, her days and nights are filled with passion and intrigue-even if only fictional. She loves her busy, quiet lifestyle, and she learned early on that real men can't live up to the fictional heroes she creates-until ruggedly handsome Beau Braden arrives to do some work at the inn and, for the first time in forever, she's intrigued by a real man.</span></div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #333333;"></span></span><br />
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #333333;">Beau lost his first love years ago, and he's never let go of his guilt over her death. As he nears the anniversary of his loss, he is on the cusp of becoming the star of a home-renovation reality show. Escaping the painful memories of his past to work at the defunct old inn is just the promise of solitude he needs to clear his head before diving in to the all-too-public career. But he didn't count on being attracted to the whimsical, adorably sexy innkeeper.</span></div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Neither Charlotte nor Beau is looking for an attachment or a fling. But the more they learn about each other, the closer they become. Romantic evenings lead to intimate conversations, and neither can deny their deep connection or the passion it sparks. They've never fully healed on their own, but together maybe anything is possible. </span></div>

When Graham Braden travels to Oak Falls, Virginia to attend the wedding of his buddy Reed Cross to Grace Montgomery, he sticks around to help with renovations to Reed's new theater. The last thing he expects is to be asked to assess and possibly invest in Grace's sister Morgyn's business endeavor. Graham is a careful, keen businessman, and Morgyn is impulsive, disorganized, and more interested in the energy flow in her eclectic retail shop than in the accuracy of her records. While Graham isn't ready to open his pockets to the sassy, sexy business owner, he may be ready to open his heart.

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">Knox Bentley never liked the pomp and circumstance that came with being wealthy. He’d distanced himself from his pretentious family and their fortune as a young adult and found his own path to success. But even with the world at his fingertips, he realizes something is missing, and after a long stay overseas, he finally knows exactly what it is. His no-strings-attached hookups with Aubrey Stewart, an exquisite and stubbornly independent blonde, are no longer enough for him. They connect on every level, but Aubrey is a fierce businesswoman with a new movie channel on the horizon and no time for much else. She is the deal he can’t close, the precious jewel even his billions can’t buy. Now that he’s back in the States, he’s determined to show her that what they have goes beyond the bedroom and finally make her <i>his</i>.</span><br />

Remember when you fantasized becoming rich enough to exceed your wildest wishes? Imagine a place where those desires come true… <i>A Pizza The Action</i> takes you to that place and beyond. </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">You know how it amazes you that, living only on loose change, carnival barkers can stay in business? It makes you wonder. You really want to know what their secret is and, just maybe, how you can use it to achieve your own ambitions. <i>A Pizza The Action</i> shows anyone selling anything for the first time or a long time how to capture that mysterious drive that will increase wealth by revealing the real truth behind the Carney Code. Spoiler Alert: Wealth is more than making money, although making money is part of being wealthy. </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><i>A Pizza The Action </i>takes you into the very cauldron of a successful working business by telling the authentic true story set in one of the last remaining bastions of wild west capitalism: the county fair. And not just any county fair – the Erie County Fair – one of the largest and longest running expositions in the United States. </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">In these well-organized pages you’ll quickly discover more than a dozen rules exposing 54 vital lessons as told through a series of spell-binding real-life dramas of a young man who becomes a young businessman as he works in his grandparents’ pizza stand at the Erie County Fair. How useful are these lessons? Well, today, the businesses that young man has created have produced millions of dollars – all based on these easy-to-use rules and common-sense lessons! </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">But <i>A Pizza The Action</i> is no mere business book. It is an entrepreneur’s how-to manual wrapped in a “slice of life” memoir. As you read the decade of adventures from long ago, you’ll immerse yourself in the sounds of the dazzling midway, the smells of the sizzling foods, and the sights of the amazing performances. You’ll yearn once again to become a carney, but understand you don’t need to be a carney to enjoy the fruits of all that you learn from reading <i>A Pizza The Action</i>. </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">And when you get to the final lesson, you’ll know why it brought a tear to the eyes of so many. </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Only then will you truly see the wealth that is yours to be had. </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><b><br /></b></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;" trbidi="on"><b><span>Available to buy from the following sites...</span></b></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #666666;"><i>“As he makes clear through his lively prose,… Chris utilizes a series of vignettes to provide, in a self-effacing style, very thoughtful examples of how hard work, coupled with solid personal, family, community, and business values, are the basis from which strong managers and entrepreneurs can succeed… Chris not only tells some wonderful stories, but for many of us, he brings back some long lost memories.”

More important, in subtle ways they can offer lessons that stand a lifetime. When fully absorbed, these lessons can yield powerful results. In his book <i>One Up On Wall Street</i>, Fidelity’s superstar investor Peter Lynch explains how everyday investors can profit just by paying attention to the companies in their own backyard. Similarly, it is these same “backyard” (and sometime front yard) experiences of our youth that provide the lessons needed to reach the highest of heights in the business world. Much has been written of the proverbial lemonade stand and how it teaches budding entrepreneurs the meaning of business. This book takes place in the real-life world of a small family-owned and operated pizza stand in one of America’s most popular and prosperous annual fairs – the Erie County Fair – and follows through the events that led a young adult to learn invaluable lessons that, in the future, would help him become a successful entrepreneur. </span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Chris Carosa takes a series of mundane, everyday events not unlike what many experienced growing up – if they grew up working in their grandparents’ pizza stand at the Erie County Fair! What’s amazing is he takes these vignettes of his life as a Carney and connects the dots to come up with more than a dozen general rules – told through 54 specific lessons – he’s followed in all his entrepreneurial ventures. Mr. Carosa tells these stories through the same conversational and, at times, self-effacing style his readers have become familiar with. </span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>Among the 54 Fascinating Lessons, You’ll Discover: </b></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: black;"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Four Fundamental Basics of a Winning Business </span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">What Always Comes First (despite what you might think!) </span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Only Color that Matters </span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Why the Odds are Never in Your Favor (and how to change that) </span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">What You Must Do if You Really Want Something </span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Two Secrets of Making Memorable Presentations </span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">How Exactly the Peloponnesian War Ties Into a Pizza Stand at the Erie County Fair </span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">The One Concept All Successful Businesses Must Embrace </span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Six Rules of a Good Carney </span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Relationship Between Good Marketing and Good Engineering </span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">If You Loved the Peloponnesian War Reference, You’ll Treasure the Thermopylae Metaphor </span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Why You Must Have a Plan C </span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">And, Finally, Why You Must Always Think Outside the Pizza Box!</span></li></ul></div><div style="background-color: white; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>More books by the author</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1938465024" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51278325052_e8cc268041_o.jpg" width="570" /></a></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent;"><span><b>Guest book review by Carly Louise Wilson</b></span></span></div><div style="background-color: white;"><span style="background-color: transparent;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #181818;">A Pizza The Action by Christopher Carosa, is an entertaining account of one mans journey to success in the business world. Initially, I didn’t think I’d like this book as I’m not usually a one to read books about business or management etc, but I was pleasantly surprised.</span><br style="color: #181818;" /><br style="color: #181818;" /><span style="color: #181818;">What Carosa discusses in his book is built upon his wealth of experience and lessons handed down from previous familial generations. I’m a strong believer that learning business acumen and management comes from on the job experience and training, and not usually from manuals or business books for dummies, but this book taps into that experience side and Carosa’s findings are relatable and you can draw parallels from them into your own working life. I also enjoyed his easy way of telling these stories to you, and it made the book entertaining and captivating in its own right.</span><br style="color: #181818;" /><br style="color: #181818;" /><span style="color: #181818;">I would recommend to those who are thinking about starting their own business, or own an independent business and are looking for some real-life to the point guidance. It is a worth the while read, and it’s made me less afraid to look at books of this style.</span><br style="color: #181818;" /><br style="color: #181818;" /><span style="color: #181818;">This is the perfect account of one mans journey to success.</span></span></span></div><div style="background-color: white;"><span style="background-color: transparent;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #181818;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="background-color: white;"><span style="background-color: transparent;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #181818;">4 Stars</span></span></span></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent;"><span><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent;"><span><b>About Christopher Carosa</b></span></span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="color: black; text-align: left;">
Christopher Carosa was born on the third floor of Mercy Hospital in Buffalo, New York on a hot summer morning in mid-July, 1960. Barely a Kindergartner, he and his younger brother produced a daily newspaper (for just one day, and mainly as an excuse to type on their mother's vintage typewriter). He conducted his first public reading in first grade at the age of six, where he read a story he wrote about "Herbie the Helicopter" (sort of like "the little train that could" except with rotors instead of wheels). </div><div style="color: black; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="color: black; text-align: left;">Later, as a teenage rebel who detested all things literature and English class, he once joined with a small band of classmates in tenth grade who refused a class assignment to read a novel and write an analysis of it. The teacher gave each of the renegade students a stern choice: "either do the assignment or write your own novel." While all his friends bowed to their instructor and did the assignment, Mr. Carosa held firm. He wrote his first novel "Armageddon" (a geo-political sci-fi epic set in the not-so-distant future). His teacher gave him an "A" and went so far as to suggest the budding scientist might have a dual career as a writer a la Isaac Asimov. </div><div style="color: black; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="color: black; text-align: left;">The young Carosa laughed at the suggestion, but remained a closet author, coming out rarely and when it was least expected. He agreed to serve as treasurer of his high school literary magazine Equinox, but only if the editors agreed to publish his sophomoric send-up of Star Trek. They reluctantly acceded to his demands. He went on to oversee a then record-breaking sale of the flimsy carbon-copy annual, mostly by offering to personally autograph every copy sold ("You never know," he told unsuspecting buyers, "I might be famous some day.") </div><div style="color: black; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="color: black; text-align: left;">Despite his best efforts, such as organizing a union of AP English Students (U.A.P.E.S.) and leading a "strike" where the entire class skipped one day, he passed his English classes. He found his antics fared no better in college, where his mocking essays failed to incite the professor, who instead enjoyed them for their "change of pace." </div><div style="color: black; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="color: black; text-align: left;">Now a full-fledged adult, Carosa began writing in earnest the last few weeks of his college career. With hours of computer time left in his account and his senior thesis complete, he spent his remaining time using an archaic word processor to create entertaining tidbits for his friends. </div><div style="color: black; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="color: black; text-align: left;">And that was it. </div><div style="color: black; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="color: black; text-align: left;">The author within him went into hiding. He still wrote, but no one knew. He accumulated pages and pages, then floppy disks and floppy disks and then finally hard drives full of creative content. Some of it will never see the light of day (and probably shouldn't). Some of it you see here and will continue to see. </div><div style="color: black; text-align: left;">
