Lost and Found (Growing Pains #1)

On the tail-end of her ex-boyfriend crashing through a restraining order and putting her in the hospital, Krista realizes that the only way to effectively escape her past is to put distance between it. She gets her life back on track in San Francisco with a job that has limitless potential.

Unfortunately, to achieve her dreams, she must brave the star of the company; a charming and handsome salesman that isn’t used to the word no. Krista tries to run from him at every turn, but his pull continually sucks her back in; her hesitancy to trust the only thing saving her from being another notch on a bedpost.

But when a geeky new hire stumbles through the company, befuddling him with a keen intellect he doesn’t expect, he starts to lose his way. Before he knows it, all his efforts are concentrated around trying to capture the interest of the only woman to run when he tries to deliver a line. As she opens up, so does he, landing him in a terrain as disconcerting as it is invigorating.

Shift:  Book One (The Spiritus Chronicles)

Waring angels and demons destroying the neighborhood? Sandy thinks a night of baby-sitting five-year-old Cassie, who reads Dickens, will be fun, and that maybe she can get to the bottom of Cassie’s nightmares and a secret the little girl is hiding. When an experimental weather-control device falls off the Navy jet carrying it and it crashes just blocks away up in the hills, it ramps up, out of control, and they awake to a massive storm and utter darkness. With the power outage, the only working radio Sandy can find is one that her dear departed husband had stored in a metal drum of survival gear in the garage.

Sandy and Cassie learn that there is an exodus to the local Police Station for shelter because their chunk of town has been taken someplace else by the faulty apparatus that has borne them away in a bubble of time and space where angels and demons, or something, are fighting in the sky and on the ground. Cassie thinks that’s what they are because that is what they resemble. Others believe they are aliens at war and they are helplessly marooned with them.

Meanwhile, the military aparatus is outside The Zone attempting to undo the damage, even as virtually every branch of the Federal Government decends upon the coastal community of Ventura, California.

Beyond the Pink Moon: A Memoir of Legacy, Loss and Survival (Special Edition)

In this touching, frank and informative memoir, Nicki Boscia Durlester intimately chronicles her transformational journey after being diagnosed with breast cancer. Her story begins with her mother, who was diagnosed with the disease in 1962: a time when breast cancer was only discussed behind closed doors, and long before women took an active role in their diagnosis and treatment.

Nicki provides unique insight into being part of a large Italian-American family afflicted with the BRCA2 gene, and shares poignant stories about her mother and aunts who faced breast and ovarian cancer with extraordinary grace and courage.

Nicki writes candidly about her frustration in finding the right team of doctors as well as the highs and lows of her journey, sharing humor and heart along the way. She puts a human face on statistics ranking breast cancer as the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women in the United States.

This deeply moving story of legacy, loss and ultimately survival is told through the eyes of a daughter who shared an unbreakable bond with her mother. As she travels the scary, unpredictable road through her own diagnosis, treatment and recovery, Nicki discovers the most difficult challenge she faces becomes the most spiritually transcendent experience of her life.

Men Who Killed the Luftwaffe: The U.S. Army Air Forces Against Germany in World War II

By LtCol (Ret) Jay A. Stout / Genre: Germany, Europe, History / Rating: 4.7 out of 5 stars (29 reviews)

Men Who Killed the Luftwaffe: The U.S. Army Air Forces Against Germany in World War II

In order to defeat Germany in World War II, the Allies needed to destroy the Third Reich’s industry and invade its territory, but before they could effectively do either, they had to defeat the Luftwaffe, whose state-of-the-art aircraft and experienced pilots protected German industry and would batter any attempted invasion. This difficult task fell largely to the U.S., which, at the outset, lacked the necessary men, materiel, and training. Over the ensuing years, thanks to visionary leadership and diligent effort, the U.S. Army Air Force developed strategies and tactics and assembled a well-trained force that convincingly defeated the Luftwaffe.

(Scotland, 1478) – Ruan MacLeod was through with women. They were nothing but trouble.

Leaving the rash life of his youth behind, he returned to Skye, seeking peace. He never meant to split the clan or start a war with the MacDonald of Duntulm. He certainly never foresaw an arranged marriage to the most scandalous woman in Scotland. Even though she was twice his age, the size of a horse and mother to more than one illegitimate child, he agreed to secure his sister’s freedom.

However, even that plan goes drastically awry. On his wedding day, he finds himself faced instead with an enticing, green-eyed lass named Bree. A walking disaster, his bride immediately turns his world into chaos and threatens to melt his resolve never to love again.

Betrayed by her own mother, Bree flees to Skye, thinking only to reunite with her long, lost father. Instead, she finds herself wed to Ruan MacLeod as a replacement bride. When she is forced to remain in the castle, she is soon caught between brothers and the mentally ill wife of the laird.

Shy, yet strong, Bree embarks on a journey of independence and learns along the way that all men are not necessarily evil. In fact, one particularly brooding, yet gentle-hearted warrior is worthy of love, and she soon loses her heart forever.
