About You’re It! Book One, Southern Roots, by Lonnie Mounts
Welcome to the mind-boggling life of Bruce Donner who’s been in hiding for over seven years after one fatal night in his hometown of Dandridge, Tennessee. Douglas Lake was the focal point of Dandridge as Bruce, and his friends would spend most of their time either in or around the lake. On one particular night when Bruce was with his childhood friend, Randy “Doc” McKinze, they had a mishap on one of the back roads around the lake. They accidentally ran a car off the road into the lake. They stopped to help but failed in their efforts. They had been drinking but were not drunk. No bodies came to the surface of the lake, which meant no survivors, right? Randy told Bruce to leave, and he would take care of it. “Just hide out at your house and wait for my call. Don’t talk to anybody! Especially your cousin Roger, the cop! Don’t even think about going to your fiancé, Heather either. I’ll take care of this. The less people know, the better off we will be.” Later that night, he received the call and learned of the three lives he had taken that were in the car. He was unable to live with that kind of guilt or bring himself to face his family. With Randy’s persuasion, Bruce decided to run away and hide out. At least his family could deal with a missing family member better than a murderer. Seven years later, Bruce is confronted by his past as he comes face to face with an accuser who happened to see him around Bruce’s roots, his birth town of Roderfield, West Virginia. He had been on the run for all of these years, living the life of a criminal, which he hated and now it seemed he would have to be on the run again… or maybe not. Bruce’s “accuser”, poses a challenge for him, and the adult version of their childhood game “You’re It”, begins!

About Terror over the Tarheel State
nspired by actual events—National Flight 643 pulled up to the gate nearly an hour behind schedule. The Boeing 707 aircraft was supposed to make a quick turn-around and get back in the air in less than thirty minutes, but this was not to be. During the preflight inspection, a maintenance issue was discovered, requiring a lengthy repair. Luckily, on this night, two smaller aircraft happened to be sitting in reserve. Both aircraft were quickly brought up and pressed into service.
Finally, in the early pre-dawn hours of January 6, 1960, both replacement aircraft roared down the runway and disappeared into the night. After receiving clearance to depart, Flight 1152, one of the two replacement aircraft, took off from Idlewild Airport, destined for sunny Florida, but it never arrived.
Instead, Flight 1152 broke up and crashed into the rural farmlands of North Carolina. But why? Within hours, the FBI and the Civil Aeronautics Board were on the scene, trying to figure out precisely what had happened. Was it a mechanical issue, or was something more sinister to blame? After five years of tireless work amassing a mountain of circumstantial evidence, the FBI settled on the theory of suicide by a passenger aboard the flight and quietly closed the case. Was the FBI correct? Was it suicide, murder, or something else entirely? What happened that night and why it happened is still as much a mystery today as it was on that fateful night sixty-one years ago. What really happened that night? You be the judge.

About 50 Games – How to Get Kids to Clean Up Cheerfully by Gina Lee
How to Get Kids to Clean Up Cheerfully? Nothing is more productive and enjoyable than organizing games!
You don’t want to be yelling all day, tired of dealing with your child’s opposition simply because of their messy toys. But how would you teach them to clean up their toys? Adult commands, harsh words, or rigid instructions will not work for children. Your children should participate in enjoyable activities that are appropriate for their developmental stage. And thus this little book was born.
The book is appropriate for busy parents who want to take care of housework while also connecting with their children through educational games.
What can this little book provide?
50 cleaning games tailored to the developmental characteristics of babies (from about 7 months old), toddlers, and preschoolers.
Skill development: Aside from the primary goal of encouraging your child to clean up their mess, children also practice other skills such as gross motor, fine motor, planning skills, problem solving, memory, language development, teamwork, social communication, and so on.
Step-by-step game suggestions can help you save time when brainstorming game ideas that are appropriate for your child’s age and can be implemented right away.
Some of the games in this book may be familiar to us or to children today. I re-presented them to accommodate the psychology and skills that need to be developed at each age while still achieving the main goal of having a cheerful clean-up.
Now, transform the exhausting cleaning in the minds of adults into fun games in the minds of children. Relax and enjoy the times when the whole family is connected through games.

EVERWOOD FALLS… a small supernatural community tucked up in the Colorado Rockies where witches, werewolves and vampires can live without fear of discovery, and those with curses they can’t control are sent to keep the existence of magic from being revealed to Mundanes.
As a prince of the fae High Court, Asher Heath has always been caught between two worlds—the kingdom of faerie where his fire magic is unparalleled and the human realm where he works as a firefighter. But two months ago, he lost control of a blaze his fae magic was supposed to contain, with tragic results. With his magic poisoned by a demon curse, he can’t risk getting close to anyone… including Gwyn, the fierce and beautiful dragon shifter he encounters out in a thunderstorm in the woods. But trouble has followed Asher to Everwood Falls. An arsonist is setting fires around town using demon magic to possess their victims—and their targets get bigger every time.
Gwyneth Drake doesn’t need a prince to save her. She shifts into a twenty-foot fire-breathing dragon who can fight her own battles. A fierce advocate for the dragon community, she was forced into hiding when an ex tried to sear her dragon from the skies. Now dragon blood has been found at one of the arson sites and she and Asher will have to work together to stop the arsonist before they strike again. Someone from Gwyn’s past may have followed her to Everwood Falls, and they’re too close to the case for comfort…
With a herd of enchanted elk, carnivorous spruce trees, and sentient pumpkins that stalk the local landscaping, Everwood Falls is a quirky mountain town where fangs and fur mean found family.

About Indulgence and Temperance (Sins of the Virtuous Book 2) by Faye Hall
Would you abandon the woman you love for your own indulgence?
Beth Meridian has returned home, hoping to leave her sordid past behind her and settle into a quiet life. When her childhood friend, Hannah Raeburn, offers her a place to stay, Beth knows it won’t be long until she runs into Hannah’s brother, Daniel. What she doesn’t expect is for him to reignite feelings deep in her heart, reminding her of the kiss they shared before she left town.
Daniel Raeburn’s past is scandalous, his sinful indulgences allowing him more wealth than he could ever need. Still, he wants more, and his gluttonous appetite for wealth and women leads him to buy into a partnership at the local hellfire club.
When Hannah goes missing, Beth and Daniel follow her trail through the Australian outback. Witnessing the womanizer Daniel is, Beth flees on a cattle train headed north. Desperate to explain his actions, Daniel follows her.
Arriving in the small town of Jarvisfield, Daniel is shocked to learn that Beth is now the owner of the largest cattle company in the area. He’s even more shocked to discover that the preacher controlling the town, and stealing from the townspeople, is his once business partner William Maxon. He’s convinced this man is also responsible for his sister’s disappearance. When he learns William has Beth picked out as his next victim, Daniel knows he must do whatever it takes to make her listen to the truth. But she has no interest in hearing anything he has to say.
Faced with losing the two women he loves, Daniel is forced to choose between their freedom and the possessions and wealth he has hoarded over the years. But even if he gives it all up, he still might lose everything.

About Pull Me In
In the business of matchmaking and can’t find love? That’s me.
It’s always fun to find that special someone for our client, you know, the one they ride off into the sunset with.
But me? I just get burned by the sun, stung by bees, and wind up sea sick from the boat ride.
Unfortunately my twin sister and I made a pact when we were kids regarding this ‘love’ thing.
If we were unmarried at thirty, we’d really go ham on trying to find Mr. Right.
So thirty showed up. Go figure. But my should-be husband is apparently lost in the universe and refuses to stop and ask for directions.
Lucky for me, my firm (the matchmaking one) is going to make me go through the process of finding my forever guy for a documentary that’ll prove we’re legitimate.
I’d rather swim in the sewer, but that wasn’t an option.
The minute I start our ‘dating in the dark’ process, my mind opens to something I’ve never realized.
My best friend, the one that has been there all along, suddenly looked perfect. And hot.
Disturbing for sure. But soooo hot.
Now I’m stuck in the middle. Falling for my blind date and my best friend at the same time.
When it rains it pours. Apparently, men.
I have no clue who I should choose or even how I should do it.
Love has pushed me out for thirty years and now it’s decided to pull me in.
Help?!?!

About The Tales of Zren Janin boxed set by M.L. Dunker
Three strangers race across two countries with only one goal: to survive.
When Red is found by the side of the road by strangers fleeing Kerek, he knows two things, they must not learn who he is, and they must take him with them. Badly beaten, Red had a dance with Trouble.
For the two West Islanders who find him, the stakes are just as high. There is a reward for their capture, and if any of the three are discovered for who they truly are, death will follow. Uneasy allies, they have one common goal: to reach Matasi and the sea.
Kerek, Matasi, and Vikland are three countries squabbling like quarrelsome siblings. The Kerek King has allowed banditry against anyone with a different language or skin color, and the Vikland Empress has had enough of her travelers injured and killed outside of her borders. Matasi has also suffered from Kerek’s brutality, but has the money and power – or so the Triune Council believes – to break Kerek without bloodshed.
In a war of words and weapons, who will win and who will lose? For when blood is shed, it is always the young and the poor who pay the greatest price.
“The author’s world-building shines.” – Kirkus Review of A Gift of the Stars, February 7, 2022
“A deliberately paced work, but one with an expansive and ultimately engrossing setting.” – Kirkus review February 7, 2022.
“…new readers will fall for Zren, who often doubts himself and his abilities but tries his hardest to be whatever his friends need him to be. Although this fantasy tale is written for young adults, it’s sure to appeal to adult readers as well.” Kirkus review of War and Wrens, May 3, 2023
“…engaging adventure-series” – Kirkus review, May 3, 2023
The boxed set of The Tales of Zren Janin contain all five of the previously published books and a sixth book, “What Zren Didn’t Know” containing bonus stories of what happened to the Wrens before Zren’s stories begin, events in the books told from others’ point of view, and what happened to the survivors. The Tales of Zren Janin are stories of adventure, political intrigue, soldiers, spies, and bravery where no one is safe, promises are casually broken, and justice demands a price.
If you like great worldbuilding in a South Pacific setting, heart-pounding escapes, stories about spies and saboteurs, and people surviving when the odds are never in their favor, this series is for you.

About Turning the Mountain of Molestation into a Molehill by Stephanie Allen-Gobert
You think you got problems…talk to somebody!” But what happens when you can’t talk to “somebody?” When what’s eating you up on the inside…you can’t tell nobody nonetheless Somebody! For the majority of my life I have been my own worst enemy. Finding fault in just about everything I do or did…I finally realized as much as I prayed and soul searched, I never truly got to the valley of my problems. I had a mountain in my life that I couldn’t get to move…in my own mind I thought I had blocked it out…but Not! The molestation mountain!…I don’t want to give molestation the type of beauty or credit that mountains possess, but in this book, molestation and mountains are compared.
The comparison was given to me by my Heavenly Father and I had to be obedient. It was truly an on-point comparison reflecting on my journey to get over all the valleys, peaks, turns, up and downs, fears, anxiety, depression, self-image, body shaming and all the other curves “mountains/life” have thrown my/our way.
“And the mountain has to move…the mountain must obey…the words that I speak and bow down to my faith @briancourtneywilson! Perfect words to fit a perfect book…I’m sure your mountain might not be my mountain…But for healing, it’s so necessary to move, climb and even ski on that mountain if you have to! It’s an unbelievable, breath-taking “view” and life changing at the same time. Watching and turning something that was as big as a mountain in your life (fear, molestation, death, etc.)…into the tiny, you can’t move ME “no mo’ molehill (insignificant, non-controlling) in your life that it truly is! Then believing and seeing that HE CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS…HE CAN CAUSE WALLS TO FALL…You are brave, better and beautiful…hike up that mountain, the top is waiting!
