Maria is My Pal By Dr. Michael T. Solomon
Children’s BookDate Published: April 2017
Having a pet isn’t just fun, it’s super important for childhood development. Pets and children go together like the beach and summertime. “Maria Is My Pal” is a whimsical look at children owning their first pet, and the responsibilities that come with ownership, the joys of having a pet, and how they form a commitment to each other while training to live their lives together.
Although a newcomer to this genre, readers would not know it from the way the author’s warm-hearted tale evokes laughter, smiles, joyful emotions, and reflections on his writing. His inspiration comes from watching his daughters grow and mature and become inspirations to many in their own right. His first book captures key moments in their childhood that intersect so many family stories— the first pet.
Excerpt
In the petting area, there was a turtle named Slow Boy, two fish called Lisa and Lori, and two parrots named Annie and Fannie. Fannie had yellow markings, and Annie had green on her wings. There was also a hamster named Fred and a cute little rabbit called Maria. She was white with a funny black pattern on her tail that seemed to move from side to side whenever her perky ears heard her name.Of all the animals, Willow thought Maria was special. Whenever Mrs. Walls’ class visited the pets, Willow spent most of her time petting and holding Maria. Maria was very friendly and popular with all the students in the class. Somehow, Maria seemed happiest when Willow was near.As the pets were placed back into their areas, James accidently knocked over a chair. It made a loud noise. The noise frightened Maria, and before anyone could move, Maria jumped onto a chair, hopped to the floor, and then ran out of an open door. Willow’s special pal and the children’s favorite pet was gone before anyone could catch her!Willow, Mrs. Walls, and the other children tried to catch Maria, but she was too fast. Maria hopped and jumped until she was out of sight. Everyone looked and looked, but she could not be found. Maria was gone!Willow and the other kids were very sad. Mrs. Walls tried her best to help the children understand that Maria would be okay and not to worry.

One Hell of a Ride by Ju Ephraime Genre: Western Historical Romance
Publisher: ENVISION Business & Computer School PublishingRelease Date: August 3, 2017
When Joe Cariello sees the young lad, Cas, standing in the doorway of his old friend's ranch, he has no idea his friend has just been murdered and that he'll be viewed as the most likely suspect. He's a drifter, not a killer. Now he's determined to find out what happened to his old friend, and if it means working alongside Cas, he has no problem doing so. That is, until he delves deeper and realizes, everything is not as it seems.
At first, Cassie Sorrento is suspicious of the drifter, but something about him convinces her to accept the help he offers in solving her grandpa's death. She’s so impressed with his, take charge attitude, she hires him. But she soon realizes she’s in uncharted waters with Joe, and if she's not careful, her carefully guarded secret might be revealed.
Now Cas must decide, should she reveal her secret to Joe and take her chances or should continue with her charade and let him drift on out of her life when the job was done? This presented a challenge to Cassie, and having never been one to back down from a challenge, she does not intend to now, although she's well aware that in this instance, she might bite off more than she can chew. Cassie realizes she’d give up everything if it means having Joe in her life, permanently. She wants to go riding with him because all things considered, riding with Joe will be, one hell of a ride!
“It will be my pleasure to teach you everything you need to know. I love kissing you, and I especially like knowing I please you.”
“You do please me,” she whispered, her eyes fixed on his lips, wanting to taste him again. She found that she loved the feel of his tongue moving inside her mouth.

And don’t even get started on the antics of the crazy animals Nathan accommodates in his veterinary clinic. No matter what the circumstance, life at Brooks House is never dull. It comes with a hefty helping of barks, meows, cackles, squeals and moos. And a few strange photographs. Can Brooks and Hart tie the knot before cutting their baby’s umbilical cord?

Title: Survivor Author: Kayla Marie Genre: Contemporary Romance Release Date: November 7, 2017 Cover Designer: Anna Crosswell at Cover CoutureHosted by: Buoni Amici Press, LLC.
Can love heal all wounds,or do some scars never fade?After a tragic accident took everything from her, Avery is left broken, struggling to find her place in the world again. Now back home in Mason, Alabama, she goes through the motions, carrying on for the people who love her yet longing for the life she lost.Her future seems bleak until Reid, a handsome mechanic and ladies’ man, charms his way into her life. Though he screams trouble, he sparks something inside her too tempting to ignore: the desire to live.Reid is tired of meaningless flings and one-night stands, but after betrayal left him with major trust issues, anything more is beyond his reach.When Avery, the enticing and mysterious new bartender in town, awakens emotions he never thought possible, Reid has to decide if she’s a chance worth taking or if some risks are better left avoided.Will love be their second chance,or will the past consume their future?Survivor is the second stand-alone novel in the Sweet Home Dixie contemporary romance series.
“Are you sure you don’t have anything better to do?”He seemed to think about it for half a second. “Nope.” An amused smiled played on his lips. “Eager to get rid of me?”“No… it’s just…” She looked down at her shoes, suddenly at a loss for words.He tilted his head. “It’s just, what?”She shifted her weight uncomfortably as she wrung her hands. Reid watched her, his amusement growing with every second of her silence. She drew in a breath and let the words fly. “All of a sudden it’s like you…” Another deep breath. “You kind of make me nervous.”“Is that why you’re doing the potty dance?”Her cheeks warmed and she crossed her arms over her chest, regretting her honesty.His expression turned darker and he took a step toward her. “Why do I make you nervous, Avery?”Heat spread down her neck to her chest and all the way to her fingertips. Still, she didn’t step back or look away as he pinned her with his gaze. She swallowed. “You make me… feel things.”His eyes smoldered with intensity and—hope? “What kinds of things?”“Real things. Even… dirty things.” Her cheeks warmed further as the words spilled out. His eyes widened slightly as his breath hitched. He took another step toward her. “So, what’s stopping you?”“Right now, I’m not entirely sure.” She licked her lips and dropped her gaze to his mouth. Ever since that night in his truck, she’d wondered what it would be like to kiss him, and right now the urge was stronger than ever.He leaned closer to her, inch by agonizing inch. Though he reached out to touch her cheek, he seemed to think better of it and dropped his hand to his side. He closed his eyes as if searching for strength, his brow creasing.“You deserve more than I can give you, Avery.” He took two steps back, his expression pained. “You deserve better than someone like me.”Her heart raced and her senses were on high alert. For some inexplicable reason, Reid made her feel alive, maybe even happy, something she hadn’t experienced in far too long. “But what if you’re exactly what I’m looking for?”
I’m first and foremost a loving (and sometimes nagging) wife and a mom of a beautiful little boy, but when I'm not wrangling my little one, cleaning up messes, or banging my head against the wall, I try to find the time to write and manage my career as an indie author. Quitting my job and leaving the world of adults was a life-changing decision for our family, and although it came with its own difficulties, I would make the decision again in a heartbeat. Being home with my son was precious, but being the person that I am, I still felt like I needed something more. Writing became the "more" I was looking for and I was pleased to discover that I had at least one book in me. About six months after I set out to write my first book, Mended was completed and I'd discovered a whole new part of myself I didn't know was there. For me, writing is a way to escape the everyday stresses of life and it creates a welcome challenge on a daily basis. I hope to make a career out of it, but even if I don’t succeed, I can be grateful that I’ve pushed myself to achieve my dream. The second book in my Sweet Home Dixie series is called Survivor. It’s about a woman named Avery and her struggle to find her way in the world again after experiencing a tragic loss. Authentic characters, real emotions, heartwarming love, and the enticing spark of romance is all a part of this moving story. Survivor is now available on Amazon! I'm currently working on the third book in my Sweet Home Dixie Series, and I hope to release it sometime next year, though that all depends on how crazy motherhood gets! My Sweet Home Dixie series is made up of standalone contemporary romance novels set in a small, charming town in southern Alabama. While all of my books have everything a romance novel should—swoon-worthy men, heart pattering attraction, and just the right amount of sizzle—they go beyond the borders of a typical romance. Deep-rooted emotions, realistic and relatable characters full of flaws and personal struggles, and real issues that work against the characters as they try to find their happy endings all play vitals parts in my stories.I want to show readers that it’s okay not to be perfect and that everyone falls down at some point in their lives. But with love and personal reflection, we can become far better people than we ever thought possible and can often achieve the unimaginable. I hope you enjoy reading!

Excerpt
Aunt Doreen takes a cake knife from the drawer, clears her throat and the two sisters squint at each other. My body tenses. This body language usually precedes some unanticipated concession by me. Busying myself by returning the coffee tin to the cabinet, I turn to escape the kitchen before…“Cole.”Shit. Not fast enough. “Yes, Mom.”Mom starts, “We’ve been talking.”I open my mouth, but Aunt Doreen jumps in before I can get anything out. “We know that you’re a grown man now, and you’re starting a high-profile career.”“But I don’t want my son to have a bad-boy reputation,” Mom blurts out. She cups my cheek. “I didn’t raise you to be wild.”Her sister moves in for the kill, placing her hand on my forearm for a brief moment. “Please be careful. Don’t get caught up in the lifestyle you’ll be offered.”Mom drops her hand. “Promise me you won’t become one of those out-of-control stars we hear about on the news.”My heart races. I need a cigarette. I’m flanked by two of the strongest women I’ve ever known, and their concern is both touching and intrusive. But it’s born from love. I glance from one pair of green eyes to the next and swallow.Mom presses. “Promise me.”I’m not giving up the perks of my soon-to-be-lifestyle—women and parties being at the top of the list. I’ve earned this. However, the set of their jaws tells me I’m not getting out of this kitchen without giving them my word.“Promise,” she repeats.I gauge the distance to the dining room. Too far. Mom crosses her arms, and Aunt Doreen follows suit.Rubbing my hands up and down my legs, I mumble, “Okay, fine, I promise. I won’t get a bad rep.”Dazzling smiles greet my capitulation. They pick up the dessert and dishes and leave me in the kitchen wondering how the hell I’m going to both honor and get around my vow.

For as long as Arell Rivers can remember, she has been lost in a book. During her senior year in college, she picked up a Danielle Steel novel … and instantly was hooked on romance.
Arell started writing her first novel because the characters were screaming at her to do so. The story started coming out in her dreams and attacking her in the shower, so she took to the computer to shut them up. But they kept talking.
Born and raised in New Jersey, Arell has what some may call a “checkered past.” Prior to discovering her passion for writing romance, she practiced law, was a wedding and event planner and even dabbled in marketing. Arell lives with a very supportive husband and two mischievous cats. When not in her writing cave, Arell is found making dinner in the crock pot, working out with Shaun T or hitting the beach.

Excerpt
“I thought we were supposed to blend in and not draw attention to ourselves. What about a six-foot-three woman who’s a man in drag won’t draw attention?”
“RIOT won’t be looking for three women traveling together. A man in our company is a dead giveaway.” There was a certain warped logic to the plan, but Tate still didn’t like it. “You’ve always told me the best covers are those closest to your true self. I’m not woman material.” “Channel your inner female side and you’ll do fine. It’s time to roll. Do you think you can walk like a woman, Tate? “Not like that.” Mal stopped with her hand on the doorknob and gave Tate a look meant to upbraid. “You’re sashaying and swaying your hips too much. Remember the cover story—you’re an athletic woman. One who walks a lot like a guy. We’re keeping it simple and playing to our strengths.”“I’ll say it again—playing a girl is not my strength.” Tate was staring at her like he really did want to kill her. Or kiss her. Either way it was a little disconcerting having another woman, a crazily sexy woman, look at her like that and have her body react.“Your voice! I almost forgot. Feeling rushed is messing with my mojo.”Tate shrugged. “That’s field work for you. Get used to it.”“Stop talking like that.”“I’m telling it like it is.”“No, I mean in that masculine tone of voice.” Mal took a deep breath and fished the duffle out of the dustbin. When she turned it upside down, she came up empty.“What are you looking for?” Tate asked.“Sir Herbert promised to send a voice modulator for you. Husky female voices are one thing. Bass voices another. It will give you, and by association, us, away.” She shook the bag out. Nothing. “It’s not here. You’re going to have to wing it.” She stuffed the duffel back into the bin. He pitched his voice into a grating falsetto. “This is the best I can do.”She frowned and pointed her finger at him. “Don’t mock me. Don’t you dare. I can make you a real soprano with no trouble at all.”“Good luck with that.” He gave her a smug grin. “My boys are tucked safely away in this crotch-control garment you gave me.”“Look, just make your voice slightly higher. And softer. With a touch of hoarseness thrown in.” She demonstrated as she was speaking. “Mix up your word choice to have a more feminine pattern.”“Like this?” Tate said.Damn, he affected a sensual, throaty voice, just like the kind of low, slightly feminine tone men claimed drove them crazy. Mal was going to have to face facts—Tate was almost as hot as a woman as he was as a man.
