With a brooding Scotsman to contend with and a guest intent on ruining any chance of romance, this Christmas seems like it’s going to be one to forget.

The 2 Richards

The 2 RichardsAbout The 2 Richards

Christmas Eve a time of wonder. The tangerine and ginger air of New York, the bright lights of a busy city, and a belief that something wonderful was going to happen to you for certain. That’s the way it was for Amy.

The beautiful, successful, 32-year-old Amy had achieved a lot, but she was still looking for the most important thing – her man. In the space of six months her life has gone through a one-hundred-and eighty-degree transformation: a move from New York to Los Angeles, a new environment, and a new woman – Amy.

Everybody comes into our lives for a reason. Do you believe that?

Amy believes it, and what happens to her defies any logic. The irony in her life: is the two Richards. Completely different, and yet similar at the same time. And when happiness is so close, everything could crumble in a moment. The novel follows the life of this strong woman over the course of six months, who was able to open a business following her divorce, and become a different woman, a better person than she was the day before.

Amy – is a reflection of any woman. You will delve deeply into her life and discover, to your surprise, how much she has in common with everyone.

When you read this novel, you won’t notice that you will go through a transformation yourself, discovering answers to questions such as:

“What’s the purpose of life?”

“How do I accept myself, fall in love, and be in harmony with my own body, and my own thoughts?”

“How do I learn to forgive, and how do I learn to let go of people in my life?”

“How do I make a cardinal change in my life?”

“How do I achieve inner harmony?”

Above the winter blues. Above everything that has prevented us from just being really happy at the rustle of dappled wings from the butterflies we feel, and the beauty of our cozy silence.

The Goalkeeper by Sean White

About The Goalkeeper by Sean White

“Lose the game,” she said. “Lose the game or everyone dies.”

A wave of euphoria is sweeping across the British Kingdom. Differences have been set aside and people are bound together by their devotion to the Guiding Principles of Joy and Compassion and their love for the Great Unifier – soccer.

The whole world wants to be a part of it, but for Josh Pittman, the world is a place he feels he doesn’t fit in. Bored, listless and somehow immune to the sporting paradise around him, he can’t even muster the enthusiasm to play in goal for his local team.

But when a chance encounter with a mysterious young woman leaves him with a broken nose, a stolen car and a warning that humanity is under attack from a hidden race of supernatural beings, Josh thinks he may have found his purpose in life – and someone to share it with. The only question is, what has any of it got to do with him?

As the final of the grandest international tournament in history looms and strange deaths at stadiums across the globe go unreported, Josh is whisked away on a journey through time and space to uncover the truth behind mankind’s very existence – and the role he is destined to play in what might just be the world’s worst case of mistaken identity…

Black Seagull

About Black Seagull

Embark on a riveting journey with Tamara Atias, a Russian-born single mother and a leading authority in forensic fingerprint analysis from Israel. Her mission leads her back to Russia, where she faces a murder case entirely reliant on fingerprint identification.

Amidst the crisp landscapes of a Siberian city, Tamara stumbles upon long-buried family secrets that will not only challenge the depths of her familial bonds but also the relationship with the enigmatic men who have drifted in and out of her life.

“Black Seagull” is a family drama that unfolds across various timelines. This engaging narrative commences in Minsk in 1973, offering a glimpse into the lives of those who participated in the significant wave of Soviet Union immigrants to Israel—an often-unheard perspective within contemporary Israeli literature.

This novel isn’t your typical detective narrative, though our protagonist, Tamara, is a forensic expert. While a murder case anchors the story, it’s a lens through which we examine Tamara’s sprawling family. The murder acts as a catalyst, setting off a journey into the intricate dynamics, hidden truths, and strained relationships of this complex family.
Beyond the family saga, the book subtly explores broader themes, such as immigration, integration, and identity. It offers insight into the immigrant experience, navigating the balance between embracing a new homeland and preserving one’s roots.
Additionally, the story delves into the issue of violence against women, shedding light on its profound impact within the family context. This theme is explored through various relationships, highlighting the consequences of abuse and the resilience of survivors.
“Black Seagull” goes beyond being just a suspenseful narrative, delving into the intricate dynamics of family, cultural conflicts, and the lasting impact of concealed truths. Rinat Klein, an immigrant from Russia herself, skillfully leads readers on an absorbing journey that provokes thought and captivates the imagination.

Grand Finale

About Grand Finale

Back in the day, SAL PEPITONE had some dangerous connections in the New Jersey underworld. Now, Sal is 76 years old with eight strokes under his belt. His one big regret is how he left things back in 1979. That was the summer that Sal was sent to the wealthy island town of Port Hannasquat with a sinister agenda.

EVELYN PARKS is respected, successful, happily unmarried and still gorgeous. But she always had a wild side, along with an extraordinary gift, one that tells her things she couldn’t possibly know.

MICHAEL is Sal’s grandson. He’s not exactly the law-breaking type. But Sal has only four days left to live, a loaded .38, and a hidden fortune courtesy of the late Frank Sinatra.

RICKY is Michael’s best friend. She’s heard nothing but trouble about Sal. But she’s always down for an adventure, and she’s a sucker for epic, scandalous, starry-eyed romance.

When Michael and Ricky team up to give Sal a midnight lift to Port Hannasquat, they have no idea of the trouble that lies ahead. And considering Sal is technically an escaped con, this little road trip could get awfully bumpy…

About The First: A first love you will never forget Book 1 of the Purple Hearted Series

The first novel in the Purple Hearted Series. Zach and Cora’s dual point of view, teacher-student love story.

“Captivating, must-read, brilliant storyline and interesting characters,” Amazon review.

“A romantic story you can get lost in, and I found it hard to put down,” Amazon review.

“A hot love story. I love the smut and the tension between the characters,” Amazon review.

Turning eighteen sucked! I had to return home to England from the UAE because Dad lost his job; great!

So, I did what any newly turned eighteen-year-old with ID does. I went to the pub. Little did I know, I would meet the most gorgeous man there, and share the most panty-wetting kiss with his perfect god-like face.

He was what all my wet dreams were made of.

But the sexy man, with the perfect tongue that was rammed down my throat, turned out to be my new flipping A-level music teacher – insert, dig a hole and drown myself in it.

So, what do I do now? Do I go all up in his face and lick him a little bit more, or do I pretend it never happened? Decisions, decisions!

P.S. Did I mention he has an accent? I’m always a sucker for an accent!
