Historical Fiction

Published: June 2019

Publisher: Gatekeeper Press

In 1957 jobs are scarce in rural Ashland, Alabama. Bobby Higgins is facing life decisions; his family’s farm struggles and threat of the draft hangs over 18-year-old males as the Cold War rumbles in the distance. Bobby heads off to boot camp, vowing to provide for his family from his pay. Between shore and sea duty, Bobby leaves broken hearts in every port. When his own heart is stolen by Rose, he’s shocked to learn that she comes with four daughters, a package deal he’s unsure he wants. But when Rose disappears, Bobby finds her and persuades her to marry him. Somehow they navigate their way through the trials of marriage and parenting as he fulfills his patriotic career and his promise to raise four willful daughters. In the spring of 2004, his daughters are brought together by grief. They forge new bonds, sharing their joys, losses, regrets, and ultimately family secrets that will seal all their fates…if they can summon the courage to report for duty.

Free Quarantine Coloring Patterns

The kind folks at Better Day Books, an independent craft book publisher based in York, PA, have published a timely adult coloring booklet with motifs based on the COVID-19 outbreak. The patterns, which are available for free on the publisher’s website include the following themes: Doing My Part to Flatten the Curve, Sorry, I am Social Distancing, Kindness is Contagious, Staying In is the New Going Out, and It’s a Good Day to Have a Better Day.

According to Better Day Books publisher, Peg Couch, “There is valid evidence to support the therapeutic benefits of coloring, and we can’t think of a time when people need it more.” Indeed, a report from the Cleveland Clinic says that adult coloring relaxes the brain and “takes attention away from yourself and onto the present moment.”

(Im)perfectly Happy 

by Sharina Harris 

Genre: Women's Fiction 

When four college friends formed the Brown Sugarettes Mastermind Group, they had very different goals—but matched each other in ambition. Yet ten years later they can’t help wondering what happened to the hopeful, confident, driven women they used to be—and how to get

them back . . .

Radio personality Raina, known as “the black Delilah,” hates the wholesome persona that’s made her a success. Doling out syrupy versions of her grandma’s wisdom feels worlds away from the sarcastic,

tell-it-like-it-is woman Raina really is.

Kara Jones was sure she’d be a master sommelier by thirty. Life and loss interfered with that plan. Now she has one more chance—but it’s taking a toll on her self-esteem and her marriage.

Nikki Grayson hardly recognizes the stay-at-home mom she’s become. When her band signed a record deal, she swapped the limelight for a minivan and a sensible ’do. Now she’s wishing she had followed her heart. Instead, she’s drowning her regret in alcohol.

Public defender Sienna Njeri willingly put her city council aspirations aside to support her fiancé’s bid for office—and now she’s wondering if her loyalty is misplaced.

Longing for the support, advice, and tough love they once shared, all four resolve to start meeting up again. After all, their dreams may still be within reach. But are they worth the price they’ll pay to achieve them?

Aethyr Book Blast

Here's the latest sci-fi novel from author Sean E. Kelly. His first title came out in 2015 and he hasn't shaved since. Maybe a little trim though...

Science Fiction

Date Published: February 2020

If you copy your mind, your memories, your sins…are they still yours?

One day in Pittsburgh, Paddy Riordan died...his body did, anyway. His digitalized mind wakes up in a world where nothing is what it seems, his memory fragmented. When a stranger appears with a dire warning, Paddy must piece together his broken past to save his mind and the woman he loves, all while eluding masked assassins, cutting-edge artificial intelligence, and the sinister sorceress Rusalka.

But he’ll find no enemy so cruel as the shadow of the past. What he discovers hidden in those memories may condemn him to a fate even worse than death.
