Mr. Big Stuff (More Than Money)

July 13, 2021 By

Kiefer Marks.
Rich
Bad Boy Biker.
Tattoo Artist.
Chiseled Abs.
My next-door neighbor for the last year.
The hottest guy I’ve ever seen.

That pretty much sums up the guy I’m in love with. And oh yeah, he’s also the guy I’ve barely spoken to.

The thing is, I’m not his type. I’m the town librarian. I’m way too curvy—and much too shy.

They call him Mr. Big Stuff around town and I’m pretty sure the nickname is all about what he’s packing in those gray sweatpants he rocks when he goes to the gym. (I go to the bakery across from the gym and eat a doughnut–while waiting for him to come out all sweaty and hot.)

That’s why I watch him from a distance, daydreaming and putting his face in every fantasy that I can imagine. You would think that wouldn’t be very many for a virginal introvert who gets tongue-tied around the opposite sex, but I read a lot of romance books and trust me, Kiefer Marks is the star in some very hot dreams.

It’s all harmless and never going anywhere. Until he kisses me and I start to believe in dreams….$0.99 on Kindle.

Collateral Intentions

July 10, 2021 By

“Collateral Intentions is a veritable gift of living poiesis for the soul…a divinely inspired offering of transparent truth and personal revelation born from a life-transforming encounter with all too often denied, and at times necessarily despised parts of oneself.”

“Without fail, the compelling images, thoughts, and feelings, expressed through the self explorations of a young person straddling the thresholds of adolescence to adulthood have provided potent learnings into understanding what’s most important – how to be wholehearted and genuinely human.”

“…it peels back layers and defenses in one’s own psyche and relays the message of vulnerability that is universally common in being human and necessary in the journey of self-love.”

Most of us tend to avoid the darkness within, but what happens when we turn to embrace it? Join Constantine Dhonau as he artfully examines that which we prefer to ignore.

Collateral Intentions is a contemplative memoir expressed through 11 years of Constantine Dhonau’s journal entries, poems, short stories, and letters from ages 17 to 28. He explores the power of our decisions and the dangers of disowning our pain. His writing spans the gamut of self-reflection, opens the door to our private worlds, and inspires us to extend an olive branch to our darkest self by exposing parts of his life which most keep under lock-and-key. $4.99 on Kindle.

Free: White Swan Wishes

July 9, 2021 By

A poignant examination of the intricacies of love…
A tale of love, loss, and pain, Snowden’s latest is ripe with emotional vulnerability and authenticity. When 17-year-old Michael Grayson, the son of a New England scallop fisherman, met the lovely Signet Bergeron, the daughter of an enigmatic diplomat, it was love at first sight. But the couple separated soon after, owing to Signet’s deadly family secret. Separated for ages, they never lose their feelings for each other. While it skirts sentimentality by a hairbreadth, Snowden’s expert depiction of Mike and Signet’s young love and their traumas and trials as they shuffle through life makes it a moving, deeply engaging read. Snowden beautifully evokes the legend of the white swan, bestowing the story with an almost magical aura. The characters are full-bodied and carefully drawn, and the atmospheric setting of New England and Buenos Aires, Argentina, adds to the intrigue. Through Santino’s story, Snowden addresses grim issues of LGBT hate crimes in Argentina. Lovers of finely constructed romance won’t want to miss this one. Free on Kindle.

Women’s Historical Fiction with spicy romantic elements.

This is Eden Fitzgerald’s story, a romantic saga that follows the daughter of an Irish patriot from brave child to alluring woman, from naïve innocent to budding feminist. When her father is unjustly imprisoned she vows to have him freed. When all legal methods fail, she dons a disguise and resorts to highway robbery to amass the funds she needs for his escape. Her crimes pile up one after another until her own liberty and life are in grave danger from police, British agents, and several men she betrayed.

A dozen years later in another country, he and Eden discover a powerful attraction that, consummated one hot summer night, cannot be sustained. Having been forced to give up his career in the Royal Navy, Alex is a reluctant agent in Her Majesty’s Secret Service, a position that places him and Eden on opposite sides when he investigates her family’s ties to the Irish Republican Brotherhood.

In addition, FORTUNE’S FOLLY is the story of the Fontaine men, two brothers and a cousin, scions of an illustrious Montreal family. André does not love Eden but marries her and will claim her child as his; Louis is dangerously obsessed with her; Laurent adores her from afar and is the unwitting catalyst for her flight.

Sapphire Lake

“Micah Gray knows what it’s like to die.

For the past year, she’s grappled with her new, unexplainable gift: she can experience other people’s deaths. Any encounter with a dead body, even a picture of one, will send Micah into an all-encompassing hallucination, giving her a first-person perspective of the deceased’s last moments.

Luckily, she’s not alone. She’s found refuge in her childhood home of Sapphire Lake, living with her estranged grandmother that happens to have the same bizarre gift Micah does. With her grandmother’s guidance and wisdom, Micah is learning how to manage her life with her new power (and slowly accepting that she might not be completely crazy.)

But not all is peaceful in the small, lakeside town. A tourist’s body has washed ashore and only Micah knows that her death was not an accident. Someone, unidentifiable in the darkness of night, drowned her, and Micah, her grandmother, and Benjamin Root (Micah’s ex-boyfriend and the only cop in Sapphire Lake that might believe her), maybe the only ones to catch the murderer.” $8.99 on Kindle.
