About A Lot Like Christmas: A Small Town Southern Romance (Wishful Romance Book 11) by Kait Nolan:

Jaded Army medic Ryan Malone never expected his next mission would bring him back from Afghanistan to tiny Wishful, Mississippi. His great uncle’s health is failing and the cantankerous old coot has pushed everyone in the family away. Ryan is their last resort to get Uncle Percy to move into assisted living before he breaks a hip—or something worse. He’s looking to get in, get it done, and get back out. That definitely doesn’t include taking time out for a sweet-faced waitress with a heart bigger than the Atlantic.

Interior designer Hannah Wheeler is a long way from the high-powered clients of her old Atlanta firm. Despite the fact that she’s currently spending her days waiting tables, she’s discovered she really enjoys the small-town life she found with her sister. This Christmas season, she’s finally ready to introduce Wishful to her true capabilities by using her skills to spread some holiday spirit. But with Ryan and Percy, she’s definitely got her work cut out for her.

 Will Hannah’s evergreen cheer thaw their frosty hearts and remind these two that the most important part of the holidays is family?

Leave a Comment

About A Gift You Don’t Want: A fun story and simple lessons for children to avoid germs, the flu and visits to the doctor! by Steven Viele, M.D.:

Friends don’t let friends, or family, get sick, or at least they should try not to. Even younger children can learn a little about germs, how they are passed and what they can try to do to prevent getting or giving gifts, like colds or the flu, that nobody wants.

In their second book together, “A Gift You Don’t Want”, author, Steven Viele, M.D. and illustrator, Ashley McKeown, create a rhyming, fun and imaginatively illustrated story about a young boy who gets the flu and is told by his mom that his best friend gave it to him. He can’t understand why his friend would give him something so unpleasant. When his mother tells him she thinks he has given it to his sister, someone he’s not inclined to share anything with, he begins to realize that perhaps there are some things you give without knowing. You pass them along, though nothing is showing.

The book includes child friendly Flu Facts at the end to teach children about the flu & other respiratory viruses & how to avoid getting or giving them. These facts are reinforced by Discussion Questions and a Key to those questions for teachers and parents. While the book is particularly aimed at grade school age children, it can be enjoyed and educational for children as young as 3 to 5 and is perfect for ages 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10.

Darksight

Leave a Comment

About Darksight:

A young blind woman participates in an experiment that could restore her sight but becomes unwittingly drawn into a dangerous conspiracy:

Twenty-four-year-old Audra Carter, a deejay in Manhattan, won’t let mere blindness keep her from living life her way, sometimes even riding her bicycle through town, using her keen hearing and uncanny instincts to guide her. This is all much to the dismay of her father, Jenson, a neuroscientist who has devoted his career to finding a cure for her particular form of blindness. He now believes he has. With a number of test subjects, including Audra, Jenson takes his research to the next level, only to face apparent failure. Before long, a string of bizarre deaths involving the test subjects alarms Jensen and the FBI. Jensen is blamed for those deaths and fears his experiment was hijacked. Soon, Audra is kidnapped. As Jenson races to discover the truth, avoid the FBI, and save his daughter, Audra struggles with her captors and with a new and dangerous kind of seeing: darksight. Audra must not only master her mysterious darksight vision and fight oncoming madness, but also confront her past, to keep them both alive.

“An action-packed thriller full of authentic human drama skillfully depicted. … an intelligently conceived work, driven more than anything else by fully developed characters in the throes of real human emotions.” – Kirkus Reviews

“An engaging female protagonist, a mind-bending plot, and some marvelously gruesome pseudoscience make DARKSIGHT a true page-turning thriller about the fine line between emotional blindness and physical sight. …DARKSIGHT is a scintillating read.” – IndieReader.

“The blade that clears the path for medical progress has another edge, one that often creates unexpected, unimaginable, even unthinkable side effects, both real and imagined. Such is the case with DARKSIGHT. A tightly-written, fast-paced thriller that will make you think–and disturb your sleep. Highly recommended.” – DP Lyle, award-winning author of the Jake Longly and Cain/Harper thriller series.

“Mallery’s novel is a fast-paced thriller that is part X-Files mixed with a dash of CSI.” – The US Review of Books

“‘Darksight’ by DC Mallery is an insightful psychological suspense that will take you on a thrilling ride! … The heroine begins as a person with depth, but as she faces challenges, she really evolves into a woman of incredible strength. … Fans of science fiction, suspense, and thrillers will love ‘Darksight.’ It would also make an excellent selection for a fiction readers group. Lively conversations are guaranteed!” – Reader Views.

“Author DC Mallery has clearly done his research as Darksight is brimming with science and technology that makes it feel like a Michael Crichton novel. … Ultimately it is a book that asks what you would do if you could have your one big wish come true: your sight restored…but there is always a caveat, and sometimes those caveats cost lives.” – San Francisco Book Review.

Ketogenic diet: Be slim by eating fat (A complete beginner’s guide)

Leave a Comment

About Ketogenic diet: Be slim by eating fat (A complete beginner’s guide):

Ketogeric diet

Do you think sugar is a silent killer?
For decades, we’ve been avoiding fat. We have reduced our total fat intake and replaced it with “healthy carbohydrates”. You will learn about the consequences of our actions from this book.
Today, obesity, diabetes and metabolic disorders have grown to epidemic proportions.
Replacement of fat with refined carbohydrates was the worst dietary error of the 20th century.
The result is a high level of chronic diseases that we are experiencing today.

Why is fat so important?
Already in ancient times, fat was highly valued. Our ancient ancestors used to eat every piece of fat they could get. Pregnant and breast-feeding women received extra portions of fat to ensure the health of both the mother and the newborn. People have been eating fat for thousands of years and our body is well adapted to absorb it.
With this book, you will know the evidence that fat is useful.

Be slim by eating fat
Reduce carbohydrate intake and add more good fats to your diet.
You will find out why fats are one of our most powerful healthy foods.

Did you know that fat can:
– stabilize blood sugar and insulin levels,
– to help balance the hormone levels,
– to create a healthy intestinal microbium,
– improve digestive function and relieve inflammation,
– provide more nutrients than a multivitamin supplement,
– help lose excess body fat, including abdominal obesity,
– protect against heart disease, diabetes and dementia,
– regulate blood pressure, cell growth, immune functions, mucus secretion, activity of the sympathetic system and much more.

This book will tell you how to choose the healthiest fats and replace what’s harmful to you with them.

Live Life: A Short Guide On How To Live A Conscious Life Through Meditation

Leave a Comment

About Live Life: A Short Guide On How To Live A Conscious Life Through Meditation:

Can you say that you live consciously?
What is awareness that has been talked a lot?
You may not be aware of your lifestyle, habits and thoughts, having the ideas, goals and dreams of other people. You may not be aware of your true values, life priorities and inner desires. You may live “unconscious” in this moment because you are full of past regrets and worries about your future.
So what is awareness?
In a word, awareness is when a person does not just live his or her life but truly ‘lives’ every moment of it.
My book “Live Life” will tell you how to introduce new habits of your own awareness.

It is great to stay alone with yourself, purge of all conventions and after several days of practice you will begin to hear your true inner voice. This voice says that everything is in our hands and only a person can have responsibility for what is happening and direct own life to a personal way of development.

Awareness allows you to enjoy life in full. When a person lives consciously, the situation “Oh, I’m 80 but it’s so as if I haven’t had have my life at all”. It is not about this person. He had his life. And at 80 he will continue to enjoy every day of his being and not be sad about missed opportunities and unfulfilled dreams.

A Boy and His Dinosaur

Leave a Comment

About A Boy and His Dinosaur:

When a recently orphaned boy befriends a juvenile T-rex, complications quickly arise–leading to a fateful, impossible decision …
He just looked at me, his little fore-claws opening and closing—a kind of prehistoric hand-wringing, I supposed. And it occurred to me—not for the first time—that, at least in the short-term, I might be his only means of survival; that, indeed, if I didn’t feed him he might very well starve.

What did not occur to me, at least until he began sniffing the air between us and slowly moving toward me, is that I myself might be in danger—that, in lieu of more fish or perhaps even a big dragonfly, he might try kid. Might try lying little turd-wad who was going to start 7th grade next year. Might try Denial Boy who was still convinced his parents were marooned on a desert isle and would turn up any day.

Which is when, having begun backing away, I tripped over an above-ground root and fell, sprawling, onto my back, at which instant the animal’s snout darted for my head and I screamed—only to find, seconds later, that it had not attacked me at all … but begun licking me; yes, licking me, sliding its great, pebbly tongue up and down my face, slathering my cold cheeks in gooey spit, breathing into my nostrils—filling the world with dinosaur. Filling it with heat and musk and stench.

And filling it, too, with something else, something I’d been missing since the last time I’d seen my mother; a thing frowned upon in Grandma’s house (where the nape of the rugs always lay left to right and the plastic floor runners always gleamed and the books in their glass-faced cabinets always stood so silent, to be viewed and not read).

Mere touch. Mere contact. Mere things coming into contact with other things. Like what I felt for Jenny or even my favorite T-shirt and wool blanket—the one with the U.S.S. Enterprise on it—like what I felt for my plastic model kits and comic books and beat-up fishing pole (even though I never used it).

Something familiar, something secret. Something, I supposed, like love. Or what a boy could know of it.

2000 Tarot Practice Questions: Improve Your Tarot Reading Skills by Elizabeth Smith

Leave a Comment

About 2000 Tarot Practice Questions: Improve Your Tarot Reading Skills by Elizabeth Smith:

Are you trying to learn Tarot but can’t find anyone to practice on… besides your cat? Are your friends and relatives giving you “that look” when they see you approaching them with your Tarot cards? Or maybe they keep asking you the same questions over and over? Are you curious about the types of questions a real client will ask you as a Tarot reader? Are you wanting to learn Tarot but don’t feel ready to practice with a real person yet?Yes? Me too. I came up with my own solution. I took a few sheets of paper and wrote out 100 random names. Then I jotted down some of the most common questions people ask a Tarot reader next to each name. I imagined they were all real clients waiting for an answer from me. I wasn’t sure if it would work. I wasn’t sure if the cards would respond. But I began to get amazing results from the readings that delighted me. Some readings revealed such profound underlying reasons for the answer it brought tears to my eyes. I made notes and scribbles about which spread I used, how long it took, and any interesting details or unique card meanings that resulted. My Tarot cards started to talk to me. My intuition and my ability to see the connections between the cards grew. I kept adding more names and more questions as I practiced every day. And eventually, I was ready to look for real clients.I wondered if others might find this useful too. So, I created this book, which I still use myself to keep my reading skills sharp. With these 2000 questions, you could practice 5 readings every day for a year and still have some left over. Use the questions in sequence or flip through the book and find a question you like. Make notes and keep track of how your Tarot reading skills are improving. Sure, you could keep practicing on your cat… Or, you could imagine this is your Tarot appointment book, already filled up months in advance.
They’re waiting for an answer from you…

Happy-Go-Lucky

About Happy-Go-Lucky:

Every workplace has that one person you don’t want to mess with.

At James & Peterson Investigations, that would be Cameron Grant: sullen, grouchy, intimidating, oh yeah, and sexy as hell. He can make your soul wither with a single disapproving glare. And he never, ever socialises with his co-workers.

This is why Maisie Wilkins, happy-go-lucky ray of sunshine, can’t fathom why Cameron finally decided to show up at their annual office Christmas party. Every year he received an invite, and every year he failed to attend. But not this year.

Curious as to why he’s there, Maisie can’t resist sitting next to Cameron. Before she knows it, she’s had one too many drinks and is drunkenly hailing a cab back to his place. Office party flings are not something she normally does, but despite his intimidating character, Cameron has a charm she can’t resist. Or maybe it was just those five gin and tonics blurring her judgement.

Whatever the reason, Maisie now has to navigate the awkward, tension filled waters of sharing an office with someone she’s slept with.
