A Journey Worth Taking

About A Journey Worth Taking

FREE e-book available: April 12-15, 2024.

Will
No amount of military training could have prepared me for the chemical reaction that took over my body when I saw her for the first time. The second she set those emerald eyes on me, I knew I’d never be the same. But she’s quick to remind me that she doesn’t date. Well, me either, but that isn’t stopping me from pursuing her like my life depends on it. The problem…I have only two days to convince her I’m not like the coward who broke her heart and what we could have is worth fighting for.

Sydney
It took months to finally feel happy and secure after the last time my heart was stomped on. That’s why fictional men are better than real ones. Am I right, ladies? No heart-crushing activities are possible. But just as my romantic side gets with this plan, in waltzes one very persuasive Marine, who exposes my weaknesses and shows me how a good man treats a woman. Although, none of that matters because he can’t stay. And all real men, even those with real six-pack abs and dark-chocolate eyes, are to be avoided. What I’ve rebuilt must be protected, no matter how tempting that one Marine may be.

This novella is a sweet closed-door romance and has no major content warnings. (Note: It does have some coarse language, casual drinking, and mentions of intimacy.) Continue Will and Sydney’s journey in books 1-4 of The Journey Series (Jackson’s story): A JOURNEY SPARED, A JOURNEY TO LOVE, and A JOURNEY HOME. Book 4: A JOURNEY BEYOND.

A Journey Spared

About A Journey Spared

Free e-book available: April 12-15, 2024. Also on KU.

Finding a new path can be difficult when the darkness threatens to swallow you.

When Jackson Vane and his three best friends joined the U.S. Marines after high school, he had big dreams. Not only did the service take him far away from his father and the city he refused to call home, it also gave him endless opportunities to see the world. But he never dreamed that eight years would be all he’d get. Now, he’s being shipped back to Richmond, Virginia with nothing to his name but shattered dreams, a useless medal, two broken legs, and a devastated heart. While his injuries hold him captive in his childhood home, Jackson has a new war to fight. He must come to terms with survivor’s guilt, figure out who he is, and most daunting of all, learn how to heal.

Avery Mason has burned for Jackson for most of her life. Now that he’s back to stay and needs her help, the time is right to claim what she’s always wanted. Twenty years was an excruciatingly long time to wait for her dreams to come true.

Jackson’s story continues in A JOURNEY TO LOVE (book 2) and concludes in A JOURNEY HOME (book 3). Must be read in order for the full story and HEA. The Journey Series is best read in order, starting with the prequel novella, A JOURNEY WORTH TAKING.

***
The JOURNEY SERIES as a whole is a heartwarming contemporary romance about a veteran rising out of darkness after losing almost everything he holds dear. The journey is hard. There will be hardships, pain, heartbreak, and raw emotions (content warning: open door romance, coarse language, casual drinking, suicide of a loved one, sick parent, loss of a parent, PTSD, loss/grief, rape, verbal abuse, and violence). Nothing is graphic, and there is plenty of inspiration, hope, sweetness, perseverance, friendships, unbreakable bonds, and unconditional love to overcome it all.

Emotional Eater: How I Lost 200 Pounds and Have Kept It Off for 20 Years

About Emotional Eater: How I Lost 200 Pounds and Have Kept It Off for 20 Years

I grew up a shy, gay, fat kid in rural Minnesota. Food was my only comfort, so of course I ate and ate and ate. 380 was my high point. But being fat is hard; it’s hard on the body and on the soul. How did an introverted, people pleasing, five-star emotional eater lose 200 pounds and keep it off for 20 years? This is the story of how I did it.

Everything in life got better after losing weight. When we lose weight, we uncover our true selves. Even the things that make us eat are easier to handle. It’s an inside job to figure out why we can’t stop eating. Reading other people’s stories helps the most, I think. I think my story will inspire and encourage you.

But as dangers encroach from every side, Zantu must choose; keep his new mate at his side or keep her safe.

Either way, he’s sure he’ll end up with a broken heart.
