Bird of Paradise

About Bird of Paradise

London, Paris, Hong Kong, San Francisco. Although she’s lived all over the world, it is the Island that always calls her home. But as Ari stands oat the threshold of her future, only she can decide where her life will take her next.

Written by a mother/daughter duo, Bird of Paradise follows Arianna Heywood as she embarks on a decade long journey of self-discovery, along which she learns that even in the face of immeasurable pain beauty can be born. Guided by the wisdom of those who came before her, Ari must work to find her place in the world, torn between the pull of her island and the possibility of what lies beyond. But an unexpected encounter may change it all. They say some love stories are meant to last forever. Will this be one of them? Although Bird of paradise is about the love of family, it is ultimate a story of romance, loss, and finding.

Co-Author Marilyn Anne Hughes began Bird of Paradise after being diagnosed with advanced stage cancer. She passed away in 2012, leaving the novel unfinished. In a letter she’d left for her daughter, co-author Emily, she had one request – that Emily finish the story for her.

Bird of Paradise will be free for a limited time on Amazon January 25th – 27th 2022!

Throughout the book, you’ll find stories of entrepreneurs, local and global companies – some that have gotten it right and others that did not.

The kingdom of Mesanda is embroiled in civil war …
High Lord Shorid of Malktown has risen against his brother King Marnol, conquering the entire south in less than a year.

Arming the Immune System

About Arming the Immune System

A riveting tale of revenge, survival and redemption, wrapped around an unlikely love story and set against an urban backdrop corrupted by violence against women and racism.

Following a racially motivated rape by three Ku Klux Klansmen, 12-year-old Cassandra Monroe vows revenge. After eight years of training, now a strikingly beautiful assassin, she accomplishes her mission.

Her campaign continues with solitary walks through dark city streets, hoping to be assaulted by men with bad intentions. Those entrapped by her spider’s web pay dearly for their efforts.

Surrounded by white men one night, she’s rescued by Mike Borelli, an Italian-American passerby. A stormy up-and-down relationship ensues. Ultimately, as her rage matures into purposeful action, and as he begins to see the world through her eyes, they become a team.

Along the way, they encounter serial killers, wife-beaters, actual and would-be rapists, gangsters, crooked cops, a kidnapper and a pedophile priest, as well as numerous women in desperate need of their help. Beneath all the action, though, is the blossoming of a most unusual love story.

Pirate Girl Falls Through Beaver Dam by Wren Godfrey Chapman

About Pirate Girl Falls Through Beaver Dam by Wren Godfrey Chapman

In 1968, why did a gently raised southern girl quit collage, run away to sea, and join a scurvy crew of pirates, searching for sunken treasure and running contraband? Why did she allow the first mate to tie her in the crow’s-nest during a fierce tropical storm? Why did she flee the Bahamas in the cover of night, fall through a beaver dam during a Rocky Mountain blizzard, and hide out in a Colorado wilderness cave with her good dog, Rocky Raccoon.
Wren Godfrey told herself it was to escape the tragedy of the war in Vietnam and her failed engagement to the love of her young life. But then again, maybe it was to assuage her rebellious case of wanderlust.
With a strong female voice and sense of place in the Carolinas, Florida, Colorado, and the Bahamas, Pirate Girl describes a lifelong process of discovery through the adventurous lessons of Earth School.

HEIMAT by Pau Marzell

HEIMAT by Pau Marzell

Heimat is the story of four young men who left Germany in 1929 for the United States to find a better future and leave Germany’s dismal post-World War One economy and humiliation of defeat behind. Matthias, a baker, also went to avoid an intolerable family situation. Josef, a watchmaker, left on a whim to join Matthias. Edo, a tailor, left to escape government-sanctioned anti-Semitism and to prepare for his family’s emigration to follow. And, Feliks, an ethnic Polish, teenager because his family’s farm could not support him. Each hoped to return someday as an American citizen and a shining example of American success.
On the way to the TS Bremen for its maiden voyage to America from Bremerhaven, their plans began changing when they saved an American diplomat‘s life from the tracks in Berlin’s Bahnhof. Their heroic act bonded them and the diplomat in a friendship that sustained them through broken promises, misconceptions of the American dream, the Great Depression, Prohibition, assimilation into American culture, and World War Two.
Before the outbreak of the war, Matthias’s commitment to his plan wavered as letters from his mother, girlfriend, sisters, and others urged him to return to Germany as the Nazi regime improved Germany’s economy and raised its national pride. However, the war severed contact with his family for five years and sent him and his friends on separate paths. To a shipyard to build ships to carry the means to destroy Germany and their Heimat. Into the US Army to fight in the Pacific after surviving the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Conscription into Germany’s Wehrmacht to invade France, Russia and fight in the Battle of the Bulge against American forces. And the Nuremberg trials to bring Nazi war criminals to justice.
