​Other than sipping tea and writing, Don dabbles in computer animation and graphic design, and is a doting father to his little girl. He is constantly plotting how to get back home to Nova Scotia and flees there whenever the sight of snow becomes a necessity.

Hosted by:





Hank’s job at the Historical Preservation Agency is to send recorders back to President Lincoln’s time to preserve the actual events of the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation.

More personally distressing, in the new timeline Hank’s wife dies as a child. He never meets her and their three children are never born. He travels to the past to right what went wrong, but is up for the task?











I have lived in many different parts of the world, and grew up on military bases. My father was career military and CIA; his father worked with the Secret Service.

“Doubtful. But something did change history. I compared the history database to the new timeline.” James pointed to the computer screen projected above his desk. “This,” he suggested, referring to the top portion of the screen, “is our original history. The bottom chart is the new history.”

Caleb leaned in and adjusted his glasses. “These charts represent how many years?”

“These graphs show only fifty years of differences?” Santiago’s eyes grew wide, and she stared at the group. “I’m married with two children.” Hank heard her voice cracking. “How bad is this?”

“Oh my God.” Hank wrung his hands. His late wife had been African-American. Caleb was also African-American. “How could the United States allow slavery to continue for so long.”

Hank couldn’t believe his ears. Lincoln was a personal hero of his. How could such a fate belong to him?

James shook his head. “Not everyone. His murder occurred a few weeks after his conviction.”

“We need to isolate the event that caused the rift.” Caleb pointed at the timeline displayed on James’s computer. “Did you pinpoint the catalyst?”

“No one has ever been murdered in the White House,” Hank said.

“Who was murdered?” Santiago asked.

“Okay.” Caleb glanced around the room at all the equipment, then he took a deep breath and let it out slowly. “There’s only one thing to do. Hank needs to go back in time and save her.”

Book Blitz: From Titans by Mary Tang

Title: From TitansAuthor: Mary TingGenre: YA MythologyHosted by: Lady Amber's PR Blurb:Everyone is searching for Mason.Zeus sent Hermes, and the Oracles have used their magic, with no success. A sparkle of hope arises when Eris, the goddess of Chaos, sends an invitation to her wedding engagement party. She is holding Mason hostage, and Skylar and her friends only need permission to enter Eris’s world to rescue him.At the party, Eris gives them one condition: In exchange for Mason, they must travel to the Land of Reverse and bring back the bottle of gold water King Midas used to wash himself free of his gift. Further chaos follows when Eris not only sets up a hunt in the Labyrinth of Crete, but makes a bargain with the Titans she rescued.The Titans possess power more than anyone anticipated, and Cronus is hungry for revenge after his own children locked him up in Tartarus. No one is safe. Not even the humans. Mary Ting resides in Southern California with her husband and two children. She enjoys oil painting and making jewelry. Writing her first novel, Crossroads Saga, happened by chance. It was a way to grieve the death of her beloved grandmother, and inspired by a dream she once had as a young girl. When she started reading new adult novels, she fell in love with the genre. It was the reason she had to write one-Something Great. Why the pen name, M Clarke? She tours with Magic Johnson Foundation to promote literacy and her chapter book for children-No Bullies Allowed.Author Links:Amazon: http://amzn.to/1QmDZ8zGoodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/4388953.Mary_TingBlog: http://www.marytingbooks.blogspot.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/marytingFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AuthorMaryTingBuy Link: #Free with #KindleUnlimited for a limited timeFrom Gods: http://amzn.to/22puV7QFrom Deities: http://amzn.to/25i7gYCFrom Origins: http://amzn.to/22puNW2From Titans: http://amzn.to/1NNMWdp Eris threw a daggered glare at Zeus and waved her hand.

Excerpt:
“Did this mystery surge affect the timeline?” Hank asked.
“Doubtful. But something did change history. I compared the history database to the new timeline.” James pointed to the computer screen projected above his desk. “This,” he suggested, referring to the top portion of the screen, “is our original history. The bottom chart is the new history.”
“They’re so different,” Hank noted.
Caleb leaned in and adjusted his glasses. “These charts represent how many years?”
“I checked elections, dates, wars... any significant historical event and ran across two-thousand major differences within the first fifty years.”
“These graphs show only fifty years of differences?” Santiago’s eyes grew wide, and she stared at the group. “I’m married with two children.” Hank heard her voice cracking. “How bad is this?”
“After the recorder went back, the first historical difference is the Emancipation Proclamation. The directive did not go into effect on Jan 1st, 1863, and the thirteenth amendment abolishing slavery remained unratified until the 1930s, which made it the twentieth amendment.” James stared grimly at the group. “Slavery remained legal until then. This caused many of the northern states to secede and join Canada.”
“Oh my God.” Hank wrung his hands. His late wife had been African-American. Caleb was also African-American. “How could the United States allow slavery to continue for so long.”
“Not the United States. We now live in the Confederate States of America. The South won and convicted Lincoln as a war criminal.”
Hank couldn’t believe his ears. Lincoln was a personal hero of his. How could such a fate belong to him?
“The American people loved Lincoln,” Aaron argued.
James shook his head. “Not everyone. His murder occurred a few weeks after his conviction.”
No way. Hank needed to take a seat. How could this have happened? The device they sent back was only a little recorder.
“We need to isolate the event that caused the rift.” Caleb pointed at the timeline displayed on James’s computer. “Did you pinpoint the catalyst?”
“It proved difficult to track down, but I’ve isolated the one event. A murder occurred in the White House immediately after the recorder arrived in 1862.”
“No one has ever been murdered in the White House,” Hank said.
“True. But this,” James said as his hands gestured around the room, “this is now Preston Hall. This isn’t the capitol.”
“Who was murdered?” Santiago asked.
“An African-American maid. Her death is the start of all the changes.”
“Okay.” Caleb glanced around the room at all the equipment, then he took a deep breath and let it out slowly. “There’s only one thing to do. Hank needs to go back in time and save her.”

Author: Airicka Phoenix
Genre: Dark Contemporary Romance
Expected Release Date: July 19, 2016
Cover Designer: Airicka’s Mystical Creations
Hosted by: Lady Amber’s PR


Blurb:
Dimitri Tasarov has never had a choice in what he was. From infancy, he had been raised with the knowledge that he was a monster, an unlovable creature without a soul, until a single act of kindness threw his entire world into a tailspin. 
 
Ava Emerson had always led a reluctantly sheltered existence. Friendship was a luxury that came with questions she couldn’t afford to answer. 
 
They were an unlikely pair. He lived behind his mask and his roses, and she lived behind her secrets, yet they shared a bond that could get them killed if anyone ever found out. 
 
Times were changing. The city was in turmoil. The weak were unprotected and someone needed to make a stand. But Dimitri wasn’t the only one with eyes on the north, or Ava, and they will stop at nothing to claim them both. 
 
Can Dimitri keep Ava safe, or will the devil fall?

"This is Caleb Hunter from the Historical Preservation Agency. I'm sorry for reaching you on your private line, but I couldn't reach you at your office. How are you doing?"She sat straighter in her seat and her tongue ran across her teeth searching for any stray breakfast bits. She raked one hand through her short blond hair as the other one brushed under her eyes clearing any runny mascara. "I'm doing great, Caleb. How are you doing?" "I'm fine," he said. "Do you have an estimated time of delivery for the HPA's shipment of the safety valves we worked on together."She noticed a fake smile appeared on his face. She had spent hours on the com-center talking with the man; she recognized his real smile when she saw it. This wasn't it."Is there something wrong with the order?" she said in a breathy and heady way.Good Lord. She couldn't stop herself from batting her eyelashes at him. How strong were her drinks? The waiter must have changed his recipe. Then again, Caleb was the most delicious man she had ever seen. How many times had she lingered on the com-unit just to talk to him? She had lost count."We never received our shipment from Bright Tech," he said.Well, hell. That was no longer her problem, now was it? "I'm sorry. You'll have to contact Bright Tech for that information."He smiled wider now and she thought the smile looked even more fake. "I was hoping since we're friends that you would give me the status real quick. Maybe I could pick up the shipment myself."She offered him a big smile, liking that he used the word friends. She assumed he tried to flirt with her, and he was doing a bad job of it. She was only on her third drink, and this conversation seemed a bit odd to her. "I'm sorry. I'm on furlough from Bright Tech. You can reach me at my office in three months. That is, if the furlough ends by then, or if I still have a job."
