About Letters From Greenview

Two letters written 65 years ago in the remote town of Greenview tell the story of a terrified young woman pleading for help. The first letter lands in the hands of the man who wants her dead. The second letter winds up in the dead letter file of the Greenview Post Office. The letters yellow with age. Life goes on.
Laura Hunter had many questions about the family tragedy that left her mother orphaned and alone at the tender age of 17. An award winning investigative reporter, Laura learns the stunning truth when she agrees to mentor a summer intern determined to identify skeletal remains found under a 65 year old hotel in her mother’s hometown of Greenview. She plays devil’s advocate when her intern links her mother’s family to those remains but secretly she believes he’s right.
Already reeling from the deaths of her husband and her mother, Laura soon finds herself at the epicenter of a cover-up that could change her life forever—or end it. Fearing for her family’s safety, Laura welcomes her vacation to the Outer Banks. There she meets Catherine Preston, a wealthy heiress tormented all these years by the yacht explosion that killed her husband, her two year old daughter and her daughter’s governess. Now in her twilight years, the lonely heiress is keenly aware of all the vultures vying for her fortune.
Two long lost letters, one bogus and one authentic bring Laura and Catherine together but the closer they come to the truth, the more of a threat they become to the one man determined to stop them.
On the last night of her one week vacation, a fierce storm bears down on the Outer Banks. Despite dire predictions, Laura fights the urge to evacuate. She begins to regret that decision when her intern calls her to reveal his latest findings. As the night drags on, Laura dreads the morning when she will have to meet with Catherine Preston and tell her the gruesome truth. Frightened and alone, she is startled when she hears footsteps coming toward her bedroom. Determined to protect her children, she struggles with the intruder keenly aware that her pleas to have her children might be her final request.

About A Hollywood Accounting

In 1985, when I started working in entertainment, all I wanted was to run a Hollywood studio (and, of course, the glamorous lifestyle that comes along with the job).

The next 15 years were focused on doing nothing but pursuing that goal. At age 30, I was the Head of Production for Harpo Films; and with each rung, I climbed higher up the ladder, I was closer to achieving my dreams.

Eternal curse

About Eternal curse

An eternal contract that could destroy her life, her love, and even a city.

My magic isn’t a gift—it’s a curse, passed down from one generation to the next.

With bills piling up, I signed a contract with a devil in exchange for money. Little did I know the contract is eternal. Whenever I’m summoned, I have to use my magic for illegal operations.

After two years I want out.

When I meet Kato, a Voodoo priest, he promises to release me from my shackles. I’m desperate enough, I selfishly take that chance. It’s his life, not mine after all. But the closer I get to Kato, the more I think that losing him might be just as hard to take as this life I’m stuck in.

Now I have two options. Freedom from my magic or freedom from this contract. Either one will be nearly impossible to achieve.

Can Kato free me before everything precious to me is destroyed?

Fans of Patricia Briggs will love this blend of urban fantasy and slow-burn paranormal romance wrapped into one magical adventure in the eternal curse.

About Surrender at Canyon Road by Debora Dale

Seconds before delivering ransom for his sister and nephew, Johnny Blake was sidelined by a brutal double-cross that left him stranded in the dead of night with no way to reach the kidnappers.

Dani Moyer had one site to photograph in a remote location nestled somewhere along the Rockies. When she stopped for directions, he asked for a ride…and he wouldn’t take no for an answer.

“Lots of outstanding visceral body language, two compelling characters, rife with intrigue and sexual tension.” – USA Today Best-selling Author, Mary Buckham

SURRENDER at CANYON ROAD
At first she fights against him.
Then for him.
Then with him.

Ransom in hand, Johnny “Blake” races to the drop point to rescue his sister and nephew only to wind up blindsided by a terrible double-cross. Now he’s stranded in the Colorado Rockies in the dead of night with no car and no options. Then the kidnappers call with new demands, and Blake is forced to do the unthinkable.

Dani Moyer is only a few good photographs and some winding mountain roads away from winning a contest that will change her life–until a stranger kidnaps her. She doesn’t believe his story about a kidnapped sister and her child. And she’s not giving up her dreams without a fight.

But when the kidnappers call again, Blake and Dani hear the agonizing sound of the child’s frightened voice. Blake will stop at nothing to save the boy from this nightmare, and Dani knows that to help him, she must surrender her own dreams.

Public Speaking Panic: How to Go From Stage Fright to Stage-Ready in Less Than 24 Hours

About Public Speaking Panic: How to Go From Stage Fright to Stage-Ready in Less Than 24 Hours

Blinding lights. Racing heart. Tightening chest. Stage fright may as well be the closest thing to a death experience you can get without actually dying…

Whether it be a work presentation, wedding toast, or speech you have been given the honors of presenting at an event, fear of judgment and failure can grasp you at any moment and send you spiraling down a tunnel of panic.

Here’s the good thing about it, though: We’ve all been there. Even the most confident of public speakers seen on TV or YouTube have experienced stage fright and know how it feels to be in your shoes.

Public speaking gets the most of us, leaving you with sweaty palms, soaked underarms, and a sudden inability to speak or think, even when you’ve done nothing but practice for that one special moment.

To put things into perspective, according to Brandon Gaille, public speaking:

-Is considered the number one phobia among all phobias, seizing 19% of the US population
-Has a 10% impairment on wages
-Is feared more than spiders and death itself
-Not to mention, a whopping total of 74% of people suffer from speech anxiety.

So you see, you’re definitely not alone in this personal battle. And with how many people there are who have encountered it, that also means there are plenty who have cracked the code on how to overcome it.

In Public Speaking Panic, here is just a fraction of what you will discover:

-A short and sweet structural guide to turn your fear and panic into confidence in less than 24 hours, allowing you to own the stage in no time
-How to utilize this one underestimated preparation method to your advantage (hint: time to smooth out your speech’s kinks!)
-The key to being able to speak calmly and smoothly under stress, even when you feel your nerves creeping up on you
-A check-list at the end of every chapter to guarantee you are on the right track, directing you straight to success in the spotlight
-How to make your current speech 10x better through the use of one crucial technique, leaving your listeners with a lasting impression
-A breakdown of each step you need to take leading up to show time so you know what to expect, even when you least expect it
-The all-too-common mistake people make when it comes to public speaking, yet if done correctly, it can also take your speech from boring to alluring
-And much more.

If you’ve endured an embarrassing experience in the spotlight before and thereafter vowed to never return, you should. Don’t let fear hold you back from unleashing your full potential, one that could inspire others to do just the same.

Public speaking isn’t something you can hide from forever, as it will get in the way of your job, social life, and even your relationships. It’s a critical skill that, if mastered, can place you above everyone else in the field.

Even if presentations or speeches aren’t regular occurrences in your life, dealing with the fear of speaking before an audience will not only boost your confidence, but it will also help you feel more comfortable in everyday social situations.

Now, let’s get this show on the road!

Everything you need to succeed is already right inside you, you just need a little guidance on how to find it…

If you want to discover the secret to bearing confidence on the stage and deliver the most outstanding speech you’ve ever had, get your copy today while it’s only $0.99. Limited time offer: April 1st – April 3rd, 2020.

Finalist Winner First Novel – The 2019 Indie Author Network’s Book of the Year Awards

Finalist Winner Historical Fiction – The 2019 Indie Author Network’s Book of the Year
Awards

“Claim me, and your every movement, every breath, every word will be written upon my heart, for eternity. You will be immortal yet.”

Growing up during the centuries-long conflict between the empires of Egypt and Hatti, the young princess Istara is taken hostage by the King of Hatti to secure the loyalty of her father, the King of Kadesh to the empire. Soon her new life in Hatti’s glittering capital becomes all she knows. Bound in blood before the gods to Hatti’s unwilling crown prince, Istara, now Hatti’s queen-in-waiting, learns she will never be loved.

But the drums of war beat again, and when the scheming plans of Hatti’s king threaten the existence of all civilization, the gods give Istara a choice: to leave behind everything she knows to save mankind, or remain where she is, powerless, a token on the game board of kings. On the brink of one of the most brutal battles in history, she chooses to risk her life to deliver a message to the only man able to prevent the prophecy from becoming a reality – her mortal enemy, the Pharaoh Ramesses II.

Wounded, cold and hungry, she wanders in the battle’s horrific aftermath, and aids a powerful commander, who she learns protected her once, and has been bound to her ever since by a prophetic dream of his future. Despite his resistance, and Istara once more becoming a pawn of kings, they must confront an eternal love so powerful, not even kings, the gods, or death can keep them apart.

forgotten valorForgotten Valor: A Novel of the Korean War by Richard Thomas Lane

An untested lieutenant. An unwinnable war. An impossible choice that could tear his platoon apart. Korea, 1950. Lt. Jonas Stuyvesant’s privileged upbringing hadn’t prepared him for the hardships of war. But when North Korea launches a surprise attack, he and his ragtag platoon suddenly find themselves on the front lines of a war not even Washington expected. And instead of North Korean peasants armed with pitchforks, Jonas and his fellow soldiers find themselves up against armored Soviet tanks and battle-tested hardened soldiers. Outgunned and outnumbered, his platoon retreats from Osan through Taejon on down the whole length of the Korean Peninsula until their backs are pressed against the sea. As the war-weary troops hunker in for a final stand, a twist of fate gives Jonas a chance to leave the deadly frontline far behind. Before their attackers close in, Jonas must make an impossible choice: leave his brothers-in-arms facing the enemy alone or sacrifice everything to stand by their side to the bitter end. Forgotten Valor: A Novel of the Korean War is a visceral work of historical fiction covering the first three months of America’s forgotten war. If you like under-examined military history, gritty details, and soldiers’ perspectives, then you’ll love Richard Thomas Lane’s story of courage under fire. Buy Forgotten Valor to march into an action-packed story of courage in the combat zone today!

Embracing Sufficiency by Joseph Stadtmiller

embracing bookEmbracing Sufficiency by Joseph Stadtmiller

Embracing Sufficiency is the story of human resource consumption; the creativity that sustained us; what we learned, the lessons we ignored, how we lost our way. In the beginning we lived off the land, gathering enough food to feed ourselves. Today, most of us never experience the land, only its wealth, or the lack thereof. Humanity evolved, became more aware with expanded intelligence. For centuries we endeavored to improve the methods for producing food, tools and weapons of war. The Industrial Revolution launched a new era of machinery capable of running the treadmill of production full speed ahead. Thereafter the challenge became to increase consumption, to keep the economy growing, the prevailing mantra. Advanced technology, population growth, aggressive advertising, easy credit and globalization all served to get us where we are today. We consume excessively: corrupting air, land and sea. Plastic litters the landscape and the oceans; GM-plants promote the use of herbicides that’s poisoning our food. The human species has fought with each other to the edge of extinction; we stand ready to once again. Today our world is becoming barren with foul air, murky water and lifeless soil, potentially unable to feed us. The severe weather will kill you, if the heat doesn’t. But it’s the silence, the lack of abundant life variations, the beautiful forests, streams, snow-peaks and desert valleys, the sprawling and rising oceans we’ve taken for granted that we’ll miss most. Nature’s balance has literally been turned on its head. Is it possible to survive in a finite world with limited resources and continue on the way we have? Do we really believe we can continue on this way?

About Remorseless by Beth Fisher

WHAT WOULD YOUR LIFE LOOK LIKE IF YOU HADN’T CAVED TO THE WRONG VERSION OF YOURSELF SO MANY YEARS AGO?

If you’re a good and loving person but have ended up hating people (including and especially yourself) or gotten suckered into some kind of “other” life than the one you envisioned and you’re pretty much just DONE, read on.

Remorseless is the journey of one woman’s constant questioning and confusion about how others-including and especially God-saw her. A transformational expose, each chapter leads readers down a path of self-acceptance, unapologetically and without regret. Through various stages and seasons of life, you will learn how to navigate triumphs, tragedies, and decisions, without losing sight of who you’ve been all along.

Impatient by nature, Beth Fisher spent over two decades and many wrong decisions frustrated, until she figured out how to embrace her true self. An empty-nester, divorcee, cancer-survivor and general over-comer of difficult life transitions, Beth outlines-through transparent and humorous accounts-the following hope and instruction to anyone who has gotten off course:

-Understanding the only narrative that matters-instead of the false and damaging version created by yourself and others-is essential to realizing and believing your own worth.
-Showing up in your story and doing the next right thing is the way to press through adversity.
-Ditching labels-which are limiting, useless, and leave you stuck in indecision and inaction-is the way to reclaim who you’ve always been.

If you are exhausted by the mental battle and decision-making required to show up in your own story as your true self and are ready to let go of remorse for past choices, this book is for YOU.
