***SALE***

http://bit.ly/FBproDRice
You owe it to yourself, at this crazy low price, to see why this award-winning book has a 4.7-Star average rating at Amazon, and dozens of rave reviews.
Samantha Jean Haggert is a beautiful twelve-year-old girl, but no one knows it. All they see is an awkward boy in a baseball cap and baggy pants. Sam’s not thrilled with the idea of hiding her identity, but it’s all part of her brother’s plan to keep Sam safe from male attention and hidden from the law. 15-year-old Jacob will stop at nothing to protect his sister, including concealing the death of the one person who should have protected them in the first place--their mother.
Sam and Jacob try to outrun their past by stealing the family car and traveling from West Virginia to Arizona, but the adult world proves mighty difficult to navigate, especially for two kids on their own. Trusting adults has never been an option; no adult has ever given them a good reason. But when Sam meets “Jesus”--who smells an awful lot like a horse--in the park, life takes a different turn. He saved her once, and may be willing to save Sam and her brother again, if only they admit what took place that fateful day in West Virginia. The problem? Sam doesn’t remember, and Jacob isn’t talking.

*****
Derek’s little sister wants one of those creepy-looking dolls staring at him from the strange new doll shop in town, and what his sister wants, she gets. Now they’re stuck with a doll that looks so human, it gives Derek the creeps.
When Derek tells his friends, Martin and Jamie, about the new shop with creepy human-like dolls, they want to see for themselves. That has “bad idea” written all over it, but he takes his friends there anyway.
They meet the mysterious doll maker, who reminds Derek of Dr. Frankenstein, and who brainwashes Martin into buying one of those scary dolls. Derek and Jamie push and pull Martin out of the shop, but something isn’t right with their friend. He’s shivering all over, and he has no memory of what happened in the shop.
Martin’s condition worsens every day, and Derek’s sister grows more and more obsessed with her new doll. Derek and Jamie have to find out what’s going on, and fast, because….
…the doll maker seems linked to a bunch of mysterious disappearances, and the last thing Derek wants is his sister, or his friend, being next on the doll maker’s list.

Excerpt from the "Whispers of the Sidhe"
"There's no such thing as fairies." I stared at the young prince, unblinking.
He crossed his arms with a look of displeasure. "That you would maim or kill my kin, wolf, with your words, be it out of spite or ignorance, makes me wish unpleasant things upon you."
I shrugged my shoulders. "Should I clap or something?"
"Oh, for the love of all things sacred, Zoe!" Dr. Seth Northman groaned, one hand tented on the middle of his face. "People have been killed for less."
"Look, it's been a long night, and this stupid town is hot, like, always." I raised a hand. "No, no, I don't want to hear again how it's cooler here than elsewhere or that it's a damn 'dry' heat. Either this little guy--"
Seth groaned again. "Zoe."
"Fine, if His Royal Wingedness has any information, now would be a great time to share."
The prince looked at the naga, who shrugged. "Alas, dear prince, I fear this is as best as we're going to get out of her."
Want to catch up on the adventure? Check out the first Zoe Delante thriller, Whispers of the Dead. The sequel is due out in your hot little hands in March 2015!

Depression Truth
I recently had a mental break and find myself in the throes of a depressive episode. As I get back on my feet, I reached for the carthartis that is writing for me, and I wrote these two articles on Medium.com:
Depression: Ten Things You Should Know
On Monday, August 10th, 2014, I lost my current battle with depression. Not the war, mind you, that I’ve been fighting my whole life, but this particular battle I’ve been struggling with since my daughter left to live with her dad on the other side of the country in August 2013.
Depression: Ten Things that Help Us
It’s been a week since I published “Depression: Ten Things You Should Know”, two weeks since I fell into my current black hole, and in that time, the response to that article has told me that people really do want to do whatever they can do help us when we’re low. And I wanted to share with you the top ten things that helped me.
I hope you get something out of them.
Thanks for reading.
