Susan, A Jane Austen Prequel

July 1, 2021 By

Susan is a Jane Austen Prequel (or Pride and Prejudice Variation) brilliantly capturing Austen’s own Lady Susan as a young girl.

As the BookLife review put it for Publishers Weekly: “McVeigh’s prose and plotting are pitch-perfect. Emma mingles with Pride and Prejudice in a delightful confrontation between the two books’ worlds… This Austen-inspired novel echoes the master herself.”

Familiar characters abound – Frank Churchill, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, Darcy himself – but Susan – mischievous and manipulative – is the star. This is Austen that even Austen might have loved, with a touch of Georgette Heyer in the romantic sections. Fans of Bridgerton will also relish this classic regency romance, the first in a six-book series. $0.99 on Kindle.

Above the Law (Billy Jo McCabe Mystery Book 5)

June 30, 2021 By

His crime was unforgivable, but the law protects him. If an alleged crime is reported to you, but no victim can be found, has a crime been committed? This is exactly the question Billy Jo McCabe asks Detective Mark Friessen when an anonymous woman approaches her and tells her about an unspeakable crime taking place right under the watch of the chief of police, in his own family. When Billy Jo reaches out to Mark with the story, he just can’t look away. They soon learn family is family, and the victim has been hiding her secret for years. But she’s not just any victim: She’s Cheyenne Potter, the niece of the chief of police, Tolly Shephard. Mark has always suspected Tolly is a man of many secrets. Because he just can’t sit by, he partners up with Billy Jo to dig into the chief, his family, and the secret they’re hiding. He’s convinced the chief helped bury a crime, but every answer they find only exposes another question. The players in this game are people who use the law to their advantage, and even though neither Mark nor Billy Jo is afraid of a fight, they soon learn that stepping on the wrong toes may lead them into a fight they can’t win. Sometimes the law doesn’t protect the innocent—and it has the best nondisclosures money can buy. $4.99 on Kindle

Financial Freedom With Real Estate

June 28, 2021 By

If you want to stop relying on your day job and have the freedom to pursue your dreams, then keep reading…

Do you feel stuck in a miserable job, slaving away from 9 to 5 because you don’t have any other income and are scared of not having enough to get by?

Do you want to have the flexibility and freedom to spend more time with your family, travel the world, or work on your personal projects?

Are you looking for a way to increase your income and build your wealth without spending a lot of money upfront and while still keeping your day job?

If you answered “yes” to any of the above questions, then you may want to consider investing in real estate as a path towards financial freedom.

According to Forbes, real estate offers the safest, steadiest, and simplest way to build wealth. In fact, Andrew Carnegie once claimed that “90% of millionaires become so by investing in real estate.”

Even millennials know that real estate is a key way to build wealth, with the average millennial millionaire already owning 3 properties.

I know what you’re thinking… I don’t have millions of dollars to buy real estate! Well, you don’t have to be a millionaire to get started in real estate investing.

Many millionaires started with just a small investment and built up their portfolio from there. For example, Arnold Schwarzenegger used his bodybuilding savings to invest in real estate, which eventually made him his first million. Acting didn’t make him a millionaire. Real estate did!

Think of it this way:
By saving and investing just 7% of your paycheck for a down payment, you can already own real estate and start reaping the benefits.

Financial Freedom with Real Estate is a straightforward guide to help you understand how wealth creation works through real estate. It provides useful tools and strategies for real estate investing, even without millions of dollars.

It is no longer enough to rely on your job. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown how expendable employees can be in times of crisis.

64% of Americans don’t have enough money for retirement and will have to keep working beyond 60. Do you want to be one of these people?

Don’t get left behind and remain stuck in a thankless job. Start your journey towards financial freedom today. $2.99 on Kindle.
