What better gift than a piece of paradise? If traveling to Hawai'i is not within reach, Wai-nani, High Chiefess of Hawai'i affords an opportunity to visit a land where fragrant plumeria flowers bloom, dancing dolphins play offshore, and the echo of sacred culture once more comes alive.

Rube Winters discovers that he shares a family curse after he survives his head caught between the altar spindles at communion, and his first date ends in a shotgun blast. There is a rib-tickling ski accident, the interruption of his wedding by a pet parrot, a life threatening accident to his wife and unborn child, a divorce, the death of his girlfriends family, and his own accident. Seeking answers, he re-unites with his old professor at The Source, a magic spot in the mountains where he finds the meaning of life and health. A rogue narrator provides the inside scoop.

What if you were a speech therapist responsible for two elementary school girls who couldn’t talk and you discovered something horrible had happened to make them that way? Then what if you found out they couldn’t speak because of you? Falling Through the Cracks is a novel about rebuilding a family after a murder. Solving two mysteries (one about adoption and one about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and falling in love are not part of Angel Martin’s plans when the Arizona speech therapist and Improv actress moves to Georgia. However, hearing a child chanting in the dark, “The knife is in his back. The blood is on the floor,” catapults her into action.

Romance novel of a career woman and mom's journey of self-discovery. Travels With My Lovers, has effectively captured these moments with her titillating adventures of an American woman, who frees herself from the shackles of her prudish upbringing, and a failed marriage that has ended in divorce due to her discovering that her husband was gay. Narrated in the first person, readers are given the opportunity to peek over the shoulders of the narrator and explore sexual freedoms through the eyes of woman, who finds herself drawn into several amorous encounters during her annual vacation jaunts.

It's autumn, 1960, and JFK's presidential campaign heralds revolutionary changes in the American social and cultural landscape. In a specialized inner city Detroit high school, four teenage girls have established the roots of lasting friendship. Their backgrounds are different, but their passion for classical music and angst over raging hormones link them irrevocably. The girls' school is a cultural melting pot of race and ethnicity in which students are judged by their intellect and talents, not the color of their skin or religious upbringing. As the inseparable Jessica, Marg, Toma and Rachel negotiate the turbulent waters of adolescence and bond through their music performances throughout the city, forbidden loves and jealousies mar their closely-knit friendship. But they always remain loyal and true to each other. In the end, poised for the leap into their post-high school lives, they question their ability to maintain their closeness in future years, when increased possibilities of separation by miles may threaten the sanctity of their group. Nonetheless, they swear lifelong loyalty as they set off on their new paths. In FOUREVER FRIENDS, Ms. Miner takes us back to an era that Baby Boomers look to with nostalgia and young adults look to with curiosity, a time of new hope and idealism that ultimately dissolved into volatility and violence. In the midst of this milieu, four girlfriends maintain their mutual love and trust, and resolve to remain loyal "FourEver."

Loosely based on legends about a famous saint, this book tells the story of Nicholas, who discovered the fun of doing secret good deeds. Kids who read or hear the story at any time of the year will be challenged to do the same.

Gaelynn Graham has psychic powers, but they haven't helped her cope with elderly parents who depend on her, a business partner who wants to dissolve their consulting service, and her attraction to sexy Kyle Cordell. Kyle's sister was led to her death years ago by a fraudulent psychic, a trauma from which his family has never recovered. He fights his developing feelings for Gaelynn, until potential danger forces him to choose between her and his father's belief system. It's received many positive reviews. 

Drugs, murder, and kidnapping rip open the shameful pasts kept carefully concealed by Amanda Reed and Santiago Yazzi, forcing them to forgive old and new betrayals before they discover the secret love hidden deep inside their hearts.

2009 National "Best Books" Award Finalist, New Age Fiction Midwest Book Reviews - 5 Stars - Top Pick for the Spiritual Fiction Reader When Madison Reeves climbs aboard flight 41 bound for a get-away-from-it-all Bahamas vacation, little does she know she will soon meet deceased loved ones from a familiar past and an unfamiliar future. After flight 41 passes through a weaving curtain of light in the twilight sky, a series of events unfold that will leave Madison at an airport terminal hung between the worlds of the living and the dead.  It is here that she is greeted by her long-deceased grandfather who will accompany her part of the way on her spiritual journey between worlds. It is because she avoids the painful secrets buried deep within her own heart that she finds herself thrust upon this journey of the spirit.  She must now confront what she has hidden away and make a decision that could change the face of her life as well as the lives of those she has left behind. Book your journey with Madison today and voyage between worlds in Changing Planes as you enjoy a near-cinematic passage that brings you a movie your heart reads.

Enjoy living in awareness vicariously.  Chaos and excitement erupt when Michele Sutherland is unavoidably caught up in the matching of wits with a privateer sea captain who befriended her grandparents during the British blockade.  With the losses of the Revolution tempering Michele’s usual confidence, Captain Damian VanCoven is unwillingly drawn to the beauty whose status as the granddaughter of dear friends creates unbidden rules of play.  In an effort toward distraction, Damian drives Michele to her mind’s limits to avoid seducing her outright and risking his friends’ trust.  Amidst Michele’s attempts to navigate the waters of sensual intrigue and Damian’s drastic measures to avoid her, this explosive relationship finds challenge from every unthinkable direction.  With a scheming grandmother whose morals are sometimes conveniently bent, and a hoodwinked privateer crew plotting against the Captain they know all too well, Damian and Michele discover a heady passion and a growing trust.  Yet, at the center of it all lies the threat of a bitter, jilted man who ceaselessly follows this dynamic pair north across the Atlantic Ocean.  After repeated attempts to destroy their lives, this stranger’s actions bring about the discovery of a secret never told, revealing truths that cause untold heartache and fear and, ultimately, forging a love as strong as time.
