first chapter of SISTERS IN BLOOM In SISTERS IN LOVE... Danica Snow
has always been the smart, practical, and appropriate sister. As a
therapist, she prides herself on making reasonable, conservative
choices, even if a bit boring, and as part of the Big Sister
Program, she has little time for anything more in her life. Blake
Carter is a player. He never gets bored of conquering women, and
with his sexy good looks and successful lifestyle, he has no
trouble finding willing participants. When his friend and business
partner dies in a tragic accident, he suddenly, desperately, wants
to change his ways. The problem is, he doesn't know how to stop
doing what he does best. When Blake walks into Danica's office, the
attraction between them is white hot, but Danica isn't the type to
give into the heat and risk her career. Danica's desire sets her on
a path of self-discovery, where she begins to question every
decision she's ever made. Just this once, Danica wants to indulge
in the pleasures of life she's been so willingly ignoring, but with
her Little Sister in turmoil and her biological sister's
promiscuousness weighing heavily on her heart, she isn't sure it's
the right time to set her desires free. While SISTERS IN LOVE can
be read as a stand-alone novel, for even more reading enjoyment you
may want to read the entire Love in Bloom series. READ THE FULL

The first in the Herries Chronicle saga bu Hugh Walpole.
Bluegrass examines the startling possibility of faith and hope in a
world defined by the impermanent and punctuated by pain and death.
The story follows Cold Spring, a semiprofessional bluegrass band,
from their obscure origins In Pigeon Forge, Pennsylvania, to the
national stage. While the band tries for the golden ring of
stardom, their home county is suffering from the growing pains
caused by the opening of a new Interstate highway and the culture
shock caused by a huge influx of people fleeing the city. From the
moment real estate mogul Hugh McAdam's helicopter sets down in the
parking lot of Chat Dalton's Garage, a struggle for control of the
county ensues that eventually involves the Governor, scrapple, the
Drug Enforcement Agency, ice tongs, the Immigration and
Naturalization Service, cops, history books, drug dealers,
auctioneers, bluegrass seed, construction workers, bibles, and
assorted eccentric locals. Along the way, Dalton discovers that his
past, like his beliefs about the future, are not all they appear to
be. Spanning one festival season, the sights, sounds, heart and
soul of bluegrass music and the rural bluegrass community that
loves it are the backdrop for a story of lost innocence, rapacious
development, endangered love, and the daunting task the locals of
Pigeon Forge have in dealing with a paradise lost.

Coming off the disaster on the Monongahela, Jacob Murray and his
young friend Joshua return to Fort Cumberland under the command of
George Washington. The defeated British army soon withdraws further
east, leaving the frontier virtually undefended. With the frontier
left unprotected, Delaware raiding parties begin striking the
settlers in an effort to clear their lands of the English. Jacob
and Joshua lead a company of militia deep into the French-held
Pennsylvania frontier. They plan to build a fort that will not only
give the local settlers peace of mind and added protection, but
serve as a 'home base' from which they can continue the search for
Jacob's wife Maggie and Joshua's best friend One-Ear. Though the
raids seem to lessen with the presence of the well-constructed
fort, the Delaware have not withdrawn completely. A rescue mission
soon turns out disastrous when the men are ambushed and Jacob is
taken prisoner by chief Tewea, the dangerous warrior nicknamed
Captain Jacobs. Help often comes from unexpected sources, and the
Murrays soon find themselves face to face with ghosts from the past
and a mysterious band of sentinels that are keeping watch over the
Pennsylvania forests. www.thegauntletrunner1754.com
"Erasing The Orange Line," is the sequel to the previous book, "The
Orange Line." This book is a continuation of their lives, their
hopes and dreams after the Championship Football Game in their
senior year. Views about segregation changed for some and because
of that change, many lives improved. Experience the fun and
laughter; the heartbreak and sadness encountered by the troubled
years of nineteen fifty and nineteen fifty-one. After graduation,
decisions had to be made by young adults concerning their future,
but because of the draft their plans took second place to the war
in Korea. It was very difficult to plan a future with the Korean
Conflict in full swing, therefore, for some, it was just better to
volunteer for the service and complete your duty before making
plans for the future. Jimmy Ray, (Fatso) and Sammy elected to put
their plans on hold and go ahead and enlist in their chosen branch
of service. Both were sent to Korea after basic training, where
their paths crossed many times. This was a lasting friendship that
lasted until tragedy struck because of a war that was not called a
war.
THE RETURN OF MARIE-JOELLE unfolds amidst the picturesque setting
of the Dordogne Valley in Southwest France.
Caught in a violent thunderstorm while canoeing on this river,
Marie Joelle at the age of seventeen tragically drowns. A few years
later, her family and friends find themselves helplessly baffled by
a mystery that shakes their core beliefs about life and death.
The subsequent birth of Anais continues to mystify everyone as
the little girl's behavior gives many compelling manifestations
indicating the possibility that the soul of their beloved
Marie-Joelle has been reincarnated in the body of the child
Anais.
The story built around a romance, carries an intriguing charm
which may captivate a diversity of readers, regardless of their
spiritual convictions, for this is not a treatise on any particular
religious creed.

Author Betty Byrd has seen it all-including drilling her very own
oil well She now brings her unique vision and experience to Utopia
Texas, a riveting tale of Brya Harrison, a woman created by chance
and circumstance. Part gambler, part geologist, Brya knows that in
the West Texas oil country upbringing may not matter, but status is
everything. She has worked hard to secure her position, but she
finds her plans unravel when she discovers that her daughter,
Olivia, is somehow "different," and is forced to face the
unfathomable-one startling revelation at a time. Drawn into a
maelstrom of events fueled by her daughter's indiscretions, Brya
sets out to cover each one up-whatever the cost. But will she be
able to combat the demons plaguing her daughter as skillfully as
she is able to face down her competition in the cutthroat world of
big oil?
In this stunning follow-up to the author's debut novel, Trinity's
Daughter, Betty Byrd has woven a brilliant tale of wealth, greed,
love, and the pursuit of power-and how one particular woman holds
her own in the male-dominated oil business.
"Big oil, big land, and larger-than-life characters all spell
Texas. Utopia Texas is Texana at its most raw. And in the end, its
most redemptive." -Susan Mary Malone, author, By the Book "Betty
Byrd has created a story that is as intense as an oil well
fire-volatile and explosive. Utopia Texas will make you feel as if
you lived it, while being forever thankful you didn't." - J.D.
Smith, host of Pursuing the Blues, KCLAFM.com, Los Angeles,
California "The oil field has its share of personalities that are
larger than life. Fueled by strong wills and old-fashioned guts in
order to face the unthinkable, Byrd's Utopia Texas is compulsively
readable." -Bill Bledsoe, Petroleum Engineer, Fort Worth, Texas
