Ninth Crossing: Discovery (Ninth Crossing – Paranormal Romance / Fantasy)
By: Kate Gordon
(18 Reviews)
Genre: Fantasy | Romance
FREE for a limited time
Author Kate Gordon writes: “When a woman says she loves a man more than her own life, it’s understood she’s speaking metaphorically. But then, she just might be serious.”
Reagan Sullivan is a thoroughly modern woman. She’s thirty-one, an honors graduate of Yale, and a six year veteran of the Secret Service, sworn to protect the vice president of the United States, who happens to be a widower. A good looking widower. Despite these accolades, and distractions, Agent Sullivan is a no-nonsense woman in every respect.
Her younger sister, Heather, currently a Rhodes Scholar PhD. candidate and an Olympic rowing medalist, is also a product of the twenty-first century. Together they’re an unbeatable combination … and not bad on the eyes either.
When Reagan meets two Irish elves, one of whom kidnaps her from a ladies bathroom in Oslo, Norway, her world changes dramatically. These elves are nothing like you imagine. Both are well over six feet and strikingly handsome. And both think Reagan is quite fetching herself. And they’re not guarding a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but they do have a twinkle in their eyes and romance in their hearts. And coursing through Reagan’s blood is . . . an Elven ancestry???
If that wasn’t enough to ruin a girl’s day, when Reagan meets her fifth great grandmother, Eimile, born in Ireland in 1630 … and she turns out to be the current-day queen of the Western Realm … and she puts Reagan’s life in danger to save the kingdom … well, things get a little more than airy-faerie. They get downright terrifying!
Despite an outward appearance of tranquility in the Western Realm, not everything is as it appears. A Civil War is brewing, the vice president of the United States is in danger, and Reagan has to come to grips with a discovery that changes her life forever.
Humor and light-hearted romance, yes, but a serious story about corruption, power, deception and the length to which men, and women, will go to achieve their ends. Elf or human.

Intended for Harm
By: C. S. Lakin
(17 Reviews)
Genre: Genre Fiction
FREE for a limited time
At the height of the Vietnam War in 1971, Jake Abrams is desperate to leave his oppressive home in Colorado and begin a new life in college in LA, but his dreams are waylaid when he meets Leah, an antiwar protester who pushes him into marriage and family. Jake tries to juggle school, his job, and raising four children, but Leah turns to drugs and drinking, and finally runs off with her rock band, leaving Jake reeling.
When he falls for Rachel and marries her, his children rebel. And when Joseph, their love child is born, Jake makes the same fatal mistake his own father did, he shows favoritism to this divinely gifted boy who has the power of healing. After Rachel dies in childbirth, bringing Ben into the world, Jake turns his back on God and buried himself in denial. His children are wild weeds, and as they grow, the older sons’ resentment of Joseph’s gifts fester until they can take it no longer. The family hides a dark secret of murder, which Joey threatens to spill out of righteous indignation and fear of God, and the only way to stop him is to kill him. The intend harm for him, but God has other plans for Joseph, and in a divinely orchestrated twist, years later Joseph confronts his brothers, who do not recognize him. True to the Bible story this is patterned after, Joseph is reunited with his estranged brothers, and Jake finally welcomes his long-lost son back into his arms, which brings closure and healing to his hurting family.
Written in a contemporary flash-fiction style, Intended for Harm covers forty years, each chapter a year, with a theme from a hit song for that year. Each scene is a fifteen-minute snapshot of the Abrams family, a “photo album” of Jake’s life of wandering “through the wilderness” and coming home to faith at the end of his life. Anyone familiar with the Bible will recognize many similarities to the famous story of Jacob and his son Joseph. At the heart of this story is an exploration of fathers and sons, of loyalty and betrayal. And mostly, how we often intend harm to others because of wounds we carry in our souls, often without our knowing.

What Barbie Taught Me about Wearing a Plastic Smile
By: Riley Wilkinson
(25 Reviews)
Genre: Biographies & Memoirs | Parenting & Families
FREE for a limited time
My experience as a boy growing up in the late 1970s and early 1980s was overshadowed by fear. This memoir is my recollection of how I managed to navigate the abuse inflicted upon my siblings and me by our first stepfather. As early as age four, the three of us were taught to accept daily teachings from a man who instilled in us a deep fear of the world and of our own abilities. Through imagination, escape, and the ultimate realization that I had the power within me, I learned to manage my environment.
