New Release! The House With The Wraparound Porch by MaryPat Hyland @cailinAolain

Brand New Family Saga



Along an elm-canopied boulevard rising from a quaint Finger Lakes village stands a magnificent Queen Anne-style house. In the summer of 1920, when Mame McGrath and her family move in across the street, she notices a catatonic young man rocking on its wraparound porch. Mame, a newly hired elementary school teacher, proclaims boldly that she can, and will, restore this man’s psyche—devastated by a drowning in Keuka Lake. What she doesn't anticipate is that he and this house will become the center of her life.
 
The House With the Wraparound Porch weaves a riveting tale of the four generations to whom this home becomes more than a shelter from life’s storms. It houses their memories of triumphs and failures, of joys and sorrows that ripple across nine decades. Though many will move on, this house will always be a part of them, because it resides always within the deep heart's core.

What readers are saying:

"This book captured my heart from the very first chapter!"

"I love MaryPat Hyland's books. This one is the best by far! I hope there are sequels to this book."

"This is a lovingly written family saga spanning nine decades, and a joyous tribute to the Finger Lakes region of New York and the families that have been there for generations. The characters are real and familiar, and so are the issues and choices the various members of the family face."

But when her own family faces disaster, she, too, is forced to immigrate to America. Though destiny will reunite the star-crossed lovers, it will, just as abruptly, separate them once again—sending Ciro off to serve in World War I, while Enza is drawn into the glamorous world of the opera . . . and into the life of the international singing sensation Enrico Caruso. Still, Enza and Ciro have been touched by fate—and, ultimately, the power of their love will change their lives forever.

The God of My Art by Sarah Lane #Literary #Kindle @sarahlanebooks

2012 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Finalist


A portrait of the artist as a young woman...

Helene vividly remembers that night in
Prince George when her alcoholic mother threatened to leave. She also cannot forget the day her stepfather sent her away to a group home. Now, years later in Vancouver, she has met a man who can make her forget all that.

The God of My Art is layered with unforgettable scenes of youth, obsessive love, and artistic longing. At the core of this coming-of-age tale are the shifting faces of Helene--teenage runaway, university student, and budding artist. Related in her engaging voice, this novel chronicles Helene's seminal love affair with Matthew, a globetrotting mountaineer passionate about Nietzsche, and the art he inspires within her. As she wrestles to become the artist she wants to be, she encounters unforgettable characters along the way, including Hana, a lesbian theatre student fed up with her partner's multiple affairs, and Laurent, a French exchange student who grapples with existential questions of his own.

Bold and poetic, sensual and confessional, The God of My Art explores obsessive love as a source of inspiration for art, where the artist is female and the muse, male.

What reviewers are saying:

"Really takes off during a high and naked moment in a self-made steam hut in the woods." ~Publisher's Weekly

"Be warned: Lane's prose has a tendency to gently lure you into reading the book in one sitting." ~The Ubyssey

"This is a wonderfully written story, has a strong cast of lifelike characters and a gripping, quick-moving plot line." ~ABNA Expert Reviewer

New Release! HUSH by S.L. Baum #Paranormal #Serial @slbaum

"5-Stars!" ~BooksAndPals.com



Bluebell's Citizen Brand is like no other. Because she is LUSH, she's turned into a public figure - a perfect example of a Concord Citizen, a goal for the next generation. She tries to embrace her fate, but the more she learns about Concord and The Council, the less she trusts in everything she's been told her whole life.

After discovering that
Aspen is not her real mother, Bluebell realizes she has little chance of finding the woman who gave birth to her. She also suspects someone is tampering with her memories, and knows that she must discover the truth about Concord before the people she loves are completely erased from her mind.

Disclaimer: HUSH is part of the LUSH Series - but it's more like a Serialized Television Show. It is the second novel in the series, and it answers some questions from LUSH, but it asks a lot more. Think of the LUSH series like LOST or The Vampire Diaries or Heroes... and not so much like E.R. or Fringe or House. The final novel is due February 2014.

What readers are saying:

"I loved this book. I could not out it down until I had read it all. I can't wait until the next book comes out!"

"Hush left me with many unanswered questions. I want to know what is happening and I want to know now!! But that is what is so great about this series."

"This book was just as good as LUSH. I cannot wait to see what happens with Concord."

Just Like Other Daughters by Colleen Faulkner #Kindle #Nook #MustRead @Ginger2Faulkner

It's how you love that matters.



Alicia Richards loved her daughter from her very first breath. Days later, when tests confirmed what Alicia already knew—that Chloe had Down syndrome—she didn't falter. Her ex-husband wanted a child who would grow to be a scholar. For Alicia, it's enough that Chloe just is.

Now twenty-five, Chloe is sweet, funny, and content. Alicia brings her to adult daycare while she teaches at a local college. One day Chloe arrives home thrumming with excitement, and says the words Alicia never anticipated. She has met someone—a young man named Thomas. Within days, Chloe and Thomas, also mentally challenged, declare themselves in love.

Alicia strives to see past her misgivings to the new possibilities opening up for her daughter. Shouldn't Chloe have the same right to love as anyone else? But there is no way to prepare for the relationship unfolding, or for the moments of heartbreak and joy ahead.

With grace and warmth, Colleen Faulkner tells an unflinching yet heartrending story of mothers and daughters, and of the risks we all take, both in loving and in letting go. 

Praise for Just Like Other Daughters:

"This deeply moving story of maternal love and renewal will touch your heart. It's a celebration of the capacity of the human heart to heal itself and embrace change, beautifully written with rare insight." ~Susan Wiggs, #1 New York Times bestselling author
