Genre: Children

 ~~"Mia's Quest For Courage" is part of a book series, Journey's Of The Heart Children's eBooks Collection, Rhyming Picture Books for ages 4-8.
**About The Author**
                            

       I was born in Jerusalem, Israel in 1970.  I had a beautiful childhood with two brothers, one older , and one younger than me. After high school, I have served two years in the Israeli Military as a commander of new male recruits. After my release, I received a BA in Psychology and Business Administration in the Hebrew University. Following that, I traveled as an exchange student to Amsterdam, The Netherlands, where I've lived for almost two years. Upon my return, I received my MBA, majoring in Organizational Behavior, and Marketing.

 I began working for a sales and service consulting company, where I've worked four years. I started as a consultant, and was promoted until I became a VP. After four years, I left and did a professional retraining to training design. Since then, I've been working as a freelancer, providing training design service to various clients.

 I am also a trained healer and teacher in various methods, but right now, I only practice it in my own life. Other than that, I am a single mother of a seven year old girl. I love reading, since I was a little girl, and movies. Also, I enjoy anything creative: knitting; coloring; cooking; and more.

 "MIA'S QUEST FOR COURAGE" is my first book, but I am currently working on my second children's book titled "LILY SEEKS BELONGING." In addition, I am also working on a series of self help books that I am writing together with my aunt.

***About The Book**

       Mia is a sweet girl, who is afraid of the dark. Every night, when the shadows and noises come, she tries real hard to find her courage, but ends up at her parents' bed. Her mother sees that, and offers a song, to try to help Mia embrace her fear, and find her courage. What dream did Mia have, and was she able to tap into that courage, along with discovering where the shadows and noises come from?

"HEART-WRENCHING, EMOTIONAL, AND THOUGHT-PROVOKING!"

       A young boy finds himself one evening, walking a lonely, silent road in the dark, as he contemplates to reach his safe destiny. He begins to realize that he should not be alone, so far away from where he belongs, so he walks faster-and-faster. Suddenly, he makes one wrong decision that will affect his life forever. A young girl plays her favorite fun game in the mirror as she pretends to play movie star, until her imaginary play-time turned into devastation, and fear.

 This child will never forget her favorite game, which will forever remind her of her worst nightmare. A very young boy plays in a hot-tub near a poolside, but one incident that day, will place a scar on his life that may never heal. All three cases have something in common. Within a split-second, an unexpected horrifying event occurred, that will change the lives of a victim forever.

 Snjezana Marinkovic and Gregory L. Tori deliver a powerfully moving presentation through extensive research and investigations with heartfelt, emotional stories about the lives of criminals and victims as they share their own personal stories, and opinions about the American Criminal Justice system. The authors highlight what happens behind closed doors of a victim, what happens when someone found guilty is innocent, a behind-the-scenes look of prison cells, and the true definition of survival. The reader follows an intense, frightening court case, along with incidents in people's lives that continue to haunt. If the convicted made one mistake, but paid big-time, will he be able to move forward? If someone had to pay for a crime he did not commit and is released from prison twenty years later, will he be able to get his life back? Can our justice system protect the helpless, while defining the true meaning of mercy? Has it become easier for many to be silenced in situations of injustice, rather than voicing a statement in the fear of a courtroom?

 The reader will think about the touching stories in this book that tug at the heart, long after it's closed. "JUST POINT AT HIM" is as chilling as The Juror, as entertaining as The Shawshank Redemption, and as emotional as The Green Mile. Due to the sensitivity and graphic content within the stories, I highly recommend this book to adults only, who are interested in criminal justice, and legal studies!

      One day, Cathy and Don were watching the birds playing in the birdbath and eating from the bird-feeder. On a block wall in the back-yard, the birds patiently waited their turns, resembling airplanes waiting to take off at a busy airport.

 Cathy and Don live in Sun City, Arizona, along with their cats Hershey and Nomi. Cathy is a homemaker and Don is a retired Manufacturing Manager and former Governing Board Member at the Cartwright School District in Phoenix, Arizona.

"DRAMATIC, RIVETING, AND SUSPENSEFUL!"

       Investigator Angie Deacon plans a peaceful, relaxing vacation in New Hampshire. She contemplated on completely chilling out, away from the stress, in a place where she thought that she could also focus on her relationship with Detective Colby Jarvis, hoping that the future will ignite romantic sparks between them. Instead, her delightful train of thought about her relationship, along with trying to absorb a restful vacation turns into a complete nightmare, when a non-stop barking dog next door to her rented cottage causes rage and anxiety. Jarvis only had to suffer through the horrific, irritating barking one night, before leaving for Boston, which changed his calm mood. Angie filled with anger as the barking continued, and this rage to confront the owner lead to an unexpected nightmare. She didn't care about causing a scene with Simon York, and her anger was witnessed by quite a few people. She was so distracted by the noise, and the rude, unsympathetic reaction of the dog owner, that she became blind of what the consequences could be.

 She knocked on Mr. York's cottage several times in an uproar to stop the barking. She left notes on his door, and learned about all the citations Mr. York was given about the continuous barking. She was upset, after searching for Mr. York in the bar, and people in the diner noticed her outrage with the dog owner. All these incidents led to the horror of Angie Deacon becoming the number one suspect, after Simon York was found dead, lying in a pool of blood. To make matters worse, Simon's wife was also found dead. Will Angie be able to find the real killer, complete the mystery puzzle, and get herself out of boiling hot water? Time is not on her side as the clock ticks fast. Will her future be filled with freedom and happiness, or will Angie completely lose control, along with her dreams of a romantic relationship with Jarvis? Will Angie continue to be sleepless in Weirs Beach, or will she see a new beginning?

 Mystery author Cindy Davis pens a suspenseful, dramatic story that draws the reader's attention in chapter one as the reader is taken through a series of mysterious events, including murder. The riveting story directs us through unexpected twists and turns, until the final conclusion. The setting of the breathtaking scenic view of Lake Winnipesauke is picture-perfect, along with unique characters who shed light on the thrilling story. "HAIR OF THE DOG" is as intense as Suspect(1987), as suspenseful as Presumed Innocent, and as entertaining as The Client(1994). Highly recommended to all mystery, and thriller lovers!

"A SPELLBINDING, THOUGHT-PROVOKING TRIUMPH!"

       KD Pryor delivers a thrilling, follow-up to 'The Portal's Choice' in The Gatekeepers Of Em'pyrean Series. However, one doesn't have to read book one as 'The Inn Of The Kindred Spirits' can be a remarkable stand-alone.

 Tallis Challinor has been forced to walk on many bumpy roads in her life, before solving issues, and learning her own true identity. In this intriguing story, she is invited by her grandfather to join him on a vacation, and was delighted to accompany him. However, Tallis is totally unaware of the new challenges, and scary events that are waiting for her. She doesn't realize that she will face another frightening encounter with mysterious spirits as she has in the past, but will she have the energy and courage to seal up a bunch of ghosts? As she contemplates on her situation, does she smell trouble in the air? Does she find her grandfather and will the only ghostbuster she knows in France, help her to battle the unruly spirits, with power to cause destruction? Will Tallis finally come to terms with who she is? Will romance spice up her life, or is she destined for heartbreak?

 The author pens a spellbinding thriller, with terrifying surprises, and edge-of-your-seat suspense. This psychological thriller will make the reader feel as if we witness one of Hitchcock's best. The mysterious twists and turns will bring the reader to a dark, haunting environment, where you could almost feel the frightening paranormal activity. The thrilling story becomes more intense as you read on in this page-turner, the setting fits like a glove, and the colorful characters bring this mystery to life. "THE INN OF THE KINDRED SPIRITS" is haunting, entertaining, and as chilling as 'What Lies Beneath.' Highly recommended to readers who love thrillers, mystery, and paranormal stories, packed with intense suspense!

"CHARMING, CAPTIVATING, FUNNY, AND EDUCATIONAL!"

       A very handsome robin named Robby was the leader of the pack in a group of friendly birds, who took good care of each other. They gathered together to prepare for a long journey south for the winter. As the journey began, the group encountered many challenges, and unexpected situations. The twelve birds had group meetings, and Robby made sure everyone knew the rules.

 They traveled through many different places, once they departed from Ohio, including Kentucky, and Louisville. By the time they reached Birmingham, they became excited about getting closer to their new destination, sunny Florida. However, along the way, Joy wandered off, finding herself in deep trouble with Hersey. A rescue team was formed, and her life was saved, from battling with the mean cat. Then, they realized there was no food to be found, and they needed warm shelter. To make matters worse, they got lost as they learned the true meaning of exhaust, and starvation.

 Despite all the problems they had to deal with, survival became the name of the game, until the sun began to shed light upon their lives in their new home, Lake Pleasant.

 Inspired by the love of nature, "ROBBY'S QUEST FOR SEED" was born. D.C. Rush pens a fun-filled story that will not only make children laugh, but teach them many lessons in life. This intriguing story teaches children about decision-making, the importance of following rules, the true meaning of leadership, and group participation. In addition, the author highlights the value of friendship, confidence, and why team-work can make a difference. This delightful story includes eight chapters of inspiration, with colorful illustrations that bring the story to life. "ROBBY'S QUEST FOR SEED" is as fun-filled as Chicken Little, as heartwarming as Charlotte's Web, and as entertaining as Lady And The Tramp. Highly recommended to teachers, parents, and child-care providers!

"HEART-WRENCHING, HAUNTING, SPINE-TINGLING, AND IMPRESSIVE!"

       Michael Phillip Cash delivers a thrilling, entertaining story that is not only made for the big-screen, but is phenomenal in every aspect. I enjoyed this gripping story so much, I had to read twice. "STILLWELL" grabbed my attention in the first chapter, and is indeed one of those books we label as an 'all-nighter.' I was drawn into the story immediately for a few reasons. One reason was that after residing in Long Island 45 years, I found the setting in this riveting story to be picture-perfect. As I read on, I could see the fog, and feel the mist in the cold air, as if I was at the manor. Most important, the author has a gift, which is his unique imagination, capable of drawing the reader in like a magnet as we experience a roller-coaster ride of emotions. The quality of Michael Phillip Cash's creativity is nothing less than 'impressive.'

       Paul Russo is distraught, depressed, and apprehensive after watching his wife suffer from the horror of a brain tumor for a year, which to him seemed like eternity. He's dealing with mixed emotions, losing the love of his life, who gave him 3 beautiful children, and he has no idea how to pick up the pieces. He's not eating, sleeping, and experiences hallucinations. Paul and his children also have nightmares about evil demons. The first solution Paul comes up with was to return to work as a real- estate agent. Paul then realizes this decision that he thought would give him some kind of peace, actually added more stress to his life. As he learns the history of Stillwell, he discovers that the haunted manor has a link, connecting it to his own family. Can Paul solve the mystery of Hannah and John? Can he put a stop to the torment of a demon, holding his wife's spirit captive? Most important, will he find inner peace, by putting his own demons to rest? Will Paul Russo and his family survive from the emotional turmoil that haunts them?

       Michael Phillip Cash pens an extraordinary, captivating story that brings tears to your eyes as you think about the unconditional love that was lost. In addition, the reader can feel the pain that Paul's wife suffered, the devastation of 3 children losing their mother and the fear of the unknown as Paul attempts to fight the terrifying demon, who holds his wife's spirit hostage. "STILLWELL:A Haunting On Long Island" is powerfully moving, as mysterious as The Sixth Sense, as intense as The Others and as chilling as Stephen King's, 'The Shining.' Highly recommended to all readers, who enjoy suspenseful thrillers that tug at the heart, with a blend of paranormal activity. "STILLWELL" has it all as it entertains, until the final curtain closes!

"ENTERTAINING, FUN-FILLED, AND EDUCATIONAL!"

       Captain No Beard enjoyed living on an island with his mates. After all, they were also his friends, and after a while, he treated them like family. Mongo, Linus, Fribbit, and Hallie were a fine crew. Each crew member had a special quality about them, and they were all willing to learn from their great leader, Captain No Beard, who considered his job to be hard work. Mongo was a pro at climbing, Linus was their automatic microphone with his loud roars, Fribbit loved to flop, and Hallie was a fine first mate.

 A scary storm began to brew with loud thunder, and everyone aboard pitched in to help Captain No Beard make sure all was safe. He rescued Hallie, commanded directions to keep a clean ship, and delivered the right answers in his best pirate voice.

 Suddenly, a voice was heard from the mysterious sea, and a mermaid appeared with yummy treasure. Captain No Beard reminded Alexander to clean up the mess, before enjoying the golden treats.

 Award Winning author Carole P. Roman delivers an exciting, appealing story to young readers, that is not only funny, but educational as well. Through her creative imagination, the author pens a magical, delightful adventure with colorful characters as the story comes to life. The stunning illustrations are inviting as they compliment this fun-filled adventure aboard the Flying Dragon, while sailing across deep, dark seas. Children will become curious as they ask questions, while learning lessons about teamwork, and responsibility. In addition, this charming story also encourages young readers to practice reading skills, as well as participating in group discussions. "CAPTAIN NO BEARD:An Imaginary Tale Of A Pirate's Life" is as heartwarming as Free Willy 3, as hilarious as Shrek The Third, and as entertaining as The Lion King. Highly recommended to teachers, parents, and child-care providers!

~~Genre:  Young Adult Adventure
"MYSTERIOUS, THRILLING, AND ENTERTAINING!"

       Hendrik Van Oordt, author of nine books and illustrator, delivers a mysterious adventure that entertains, from beginning to end. Three young teenagers are sent off to live on an Island with their aunt and uncle, while their parents deal with moving. Frank, Dana, and Martin were not happy about the decision, or getting adjusted to a complete different lifestyle. To make matters worse, they found nothing that interested them to grab their attention, until they heard rumors about 'Whale House.'

 They became curious to find out if the story they heard had any truth to it, anxious to see a mad woman and her son in the huge Gothic house, when a sudden storm began to brew, and the children wind up inside the creepy monstrosity. Frank, Dana, and Martin had no idea what they were in for, after discovering a hidden secret.

 The children must embark on a quest as they face many challenges in order to escape, but will they survive, and be set free? The story is mysterious, exciting, and suspenseful as the colorful characters come to life. "THE MYSTERY OF WHALE HOUSE" is as captivating as The Goonies, as thrilling as The Monster Squad, and as entertaining as The Lost Boys.  Enjoyable, and highly recommended to young adults!

~~"TAMING JENNA"

 Genre: Western Historical Romance
~~About The Author       


       Charlene Raddon likes to say that she began her fiction career in the third grade, when she announced in Show & Tell that a baby sister she never had was killed by a black widow spider. She often penned stories, featuring mistreated young girls, whose mother was accused of crimes that her sister had actually committed. Those were mostly therapeutic exercises.

 Her first serious attempt at writing fiction came in 1980, when she woke from a vivid dream, that compelled her to drag out a typewriter, and begin writing. An early love for romance novels and the Wild West, led her to choose the historical romance genre, but she also writes contemporary romance. At present, she has 5 books published in paperback by Kensington Books(one under the pseudonym Rachel Summers), and the same 5 digitally published by Tirgearr Publishing.
~~About The Book

       THE WRONG MAN

 Deserted by her father at the age of 7, Jenna Leigh-Whittington had taught herself to ride, shoot, brawl and steer clear of the opposite sex. But now, in a lonely Utah canyon, the Pinkerton agent has drawn her gun on a rugged stranger, only to discover that far from the dangerous outlaw she'd been tracking. He is Branch McCauley, hired gun, and the most irresistible rascal ever to tempt, and torment a woman!

 THE RIGHT WOMAN

 If there's one thing that McCauley trusts less than a female, it's a female, who packs a six-gun. But what a woman! Vowing to bring the sensuous hellcat to heel, McCauley has no inkling that their passionate battle of wills has just begun. "TAMING JENNA" will be the most seductive and satisfying job he has ever taken on...

Robby's Quest Children's Books
eBook, Paperback and Audio Books
Illustrator~Daniela Frongia


~~About The Author~~

 Don and Cathy began writing their first children's book in 2010. They often sat outside watching, and feeding the birds. The birds were very clever and fun to watch, especially when the smaller birds kicked seed to the ground for the larger birds. It seemed that the birds had some group structure, and displayed very effective teamwork. They thought it would be interesting to write a book about a group of birds, flying south for the winter.

 Although Don does most of the writing, Cathy and Don both bounce ideas off each other, and discuss where the birds might go, and what they might see along their journey. His wife, Cathy, helps proof and edit the rough draft, before sending the book to a copy editor for final revision.

 Publishing their first book was only a dream. The finished book sat on their computer for over a year, before being convinced to self-publish. It was a difficult decision, but the birth of their grandson gave them the incentive to publish the book. Since publishing this book, they have published three additional books in the series. 

 Don and Cathy live in AZ, with their cats. Cathy is a homemaker, and Don is a retired Manufacturing manager and former Elementary School Governing Board Member in the Cartwright School District in Phoenix, AZ. He spent ten years at Honeywell in Phoenix as a Business Unit Manager. In 1998, they relocated to Minnesota, where Don was employed at Team Industries as the Plant Manager of their Baxter facility. This facility manufactured hardware for snow-mobiles, motorcycles, and ATV'S.

                                                                             

~~About The Book~~

 Robby is a Robin, who has teamed up with his brother Ricky, a family of six sparrows, three Mourning Doves and Benny the Blackbird. In this story, the group of life-long friends decide to fly south to Florida for the winter. 

 The trip south is going fine, then along the way, Joy strays from the flock and lands in the backyard of Hersey, who is a very determined hungry cat. Joy is the youngest sparrow of the flock. Her parents and some of the other birds form a search party, and hope they find her, before it's too late. Hersey sneaks up on the poor little bird, and ends up falling into a swimming pool.

 The birds continue their journey, only to discover their winter home has been destroyed by a hurricane. There's no food, and no-where to build a nest. Will they receive help to survive?

"AN EPIC STORY OF COURAGE, LOVE, DECEIT, AND SURVIVAL!"

       Award-Winning author B.J. Scott delivers a historical triumph as he defines the true meaning of our American forefathers, the exploitation of native Americans, and the fight for survival in the era of 'the old west.' The author takes the reader to 1876, when a young woman sets out on a mission to meet her future husband. Ellen O'Hara travels from Kansas to become the bride of a military officer, but an unexpected turn of events prevent her from completing her mission, as the group she traveled with was attacked and assaulted by an Indian band.

 She was captured by the Shoshone Indians, accepted by the tribe, and falls in love with the Chief. At the age of sixteen, Ellen learns about conflict, cruelty, and injustice. She also learns about love, and hatred in a battle for survival. The author paints a portrait of the good, the bad, and the ugly. Most important, this gripping, heartfelt story portrays the horrifying consequences of the indigenous people who lost everything and the courage of one woman, who stood strong until the end.

 The colorful characters bring this story to life in a perfect setting as we learn about brutality, savages, and innocent victims. "LIGHT ON A DISTANT HILL" is as intriguing as Besieged, as thrilling as The Courage Of Love, and as entertaining as The Feast Of All Saints. Highly recommended!
