The Bird that Sang in Color

Publication Date: January 17, 2021 (Today 🎉)

Genre: Literary Fiction

Part family drama and part self-actualization story, this is about Donna Greco, who in her teens, subscribes to a conventional view of success in life and pushes her freewheeling, artistic brother, Vincent to do the same. However, he remains single, childless, and subsists in cramped apartments. She harbors guilt for her supposed failure to ensure his happiness until she discovers a book of sketches he made of his life, which allows her to see his internal joy and prompts her own journey of living authentically.

Thought-provoking, humorous, and filled with unforgettable characters, this book invites readers to ponder what pictures they will have of themselves by the end of their lives.

“Beautifully rendered, hugely moving, brilliant,” Lidia Yucknavitch.

“a refreshing family portrait about interpersonal evolution…presented with affection, humor, and insight…an inspiring slice of life blend of philosophy, psychology, and transformation that draws readers into a warm story and examines the wellsprings of creative force and future legacies…evocative, uplifting,” Midwest Book Review.

#BookReview: by Mistake (Poison & Wine, #1) by Sigal Ehrlich

Synopsis: There’s so much going on in Anna’s life. Teaching countless hours at the studio and nurturing the three major relationships of her life – her group of tight-knit friends, all while attempting to not screw up this whole adulthood thing leaves very little time to waste on yet another dating app. At this point, a relationship is off the menu. Being “self-partnered” is more than enough.

A serious relationship has been crossed off Liam Brody’s list of goals, at least for the foreseeable future. Completing his residency and becoming a trauma surgeon is his only priority. Casual relationships, his friends, and books are the only things he’s willing to lose his precious free time to. 

When an accidental email starts a deep online connection, both Liam and Anna dive in with zero concern . . . because there’s really no harm in getting close to someone who you’ll never meet in real life, right?

Wrong.

When a turn of events brings their “safe” virtual connection to an unexpected face-to-face, Anna and Liam learn their online chemistry pales in comparison to the real deal. A realization that brings along the bazillion-dollar question – what do you do when you meet The One at the most impossibly wrong time?

by Mist@ke is book 1 in a standalone series with connected characters, but independent storylines.

Chloe 

Finding an empty foil packet in my husband’s jeans wouldn’t have been surprising—if we’d actually used those in the last decade. 

I gave up everything for him and in return, he betrayed me in the worst way. 

Sliding down a stripper pole five nights a week isn’t exactly my dream job. 

But I did it. 

For him. 

With my life in shambles, I have to find the strength to start again. 

Rhys 

The very last thing I need is a distraction in the form of a feisty, curvaceous stripper. 

When her version of a lap dance catches more than just my attention—I have to see where she leads me. 

It can’t be forever. 

But whatever it is—I’ll take it.

#BookReview: The One-Night Stand by @EHayleyAuthor

Synopsis: Gabriel Torres thought his life after major league baseball would be simple and quiet—or at least quieter. However, as he takes over running the exclusive Players Club, he finds himself constantly embroiled in scandal and drama. Surely nothing or no one could make his life any crazier…right?

Rachel Adler is a blast from Gabe's past who crashed back into his life with the finesse of a freight train. But she’s a welcome distraction. At least for a night.

Rachel’s been working hard to become one of the top sports journalists in the country, and she doesn’t have time for an irresistibly charming baseball player. A one-night stand with a man who she knew would hit it out of the park was all she wanted.

But when Rachel gets a tip that Gabe could have ties to one of the biggest sports stories in history—a story that could make her career—she decides she has time for the sexy baseball player after all. As Rachel gets in deeper with both her story and Gabe, she begins to question who she is, what she wants, and what exactly she’s willing to sacrifice for her career.

Will this potential grand-slam romance be stopped short? Or will Rachel and Gabe go the distance?

USA Today Bestselling Author, Dani René, brings you a steamy romance in the bestselling Cocky Hero World by New York Times Bestselling Authors, Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland. 

I’m the next big thing… In more ways than one. 

The moment I step foot off the plane, I had a feeling my life was going to change. It wasn’t the new contract I’d signed, and it certainly wasn’t the Big Apple that called to me, it was her. Shy and sweet, Violet Kennedy, captured my attention. But I’m far from what she expected to walk into her office. 

I live by the moniker they’ve given me. Even though I’m nothing like the image they portray, I have a job to do, and that may be the reason I lose the woman of my dreams. 

I may be the Brazen Bachelor, but for Violet, I would walk away from it all. 

The only problem is, she believes the lie. 

*Brazen Bachelor is a contemporary romance inspired by Stuck-Up Suit & British Bedmate.

#BookBlitz: Gotcha! by Ed. Weinberger @RABTBookTours @BublishMe

 

Adult Political Fiction

Date Published: 10-13-2020

Hurry. If you’re wondering what’s happening behind the scenes in Trump’s White House right now, then read the hilarious new novel GOTCHA! Inside Trump's 2020 Campaign by nine-time Emmy Award-winning writer Ed. Weinberger. This book couldn’t be timelier, funnier, or more prescient.

Known for his work on such television sitcoms as The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Taxi, and The Cosby Show, comedy writer Weinberger takes readers on a wild ride beginning in Spring 2020 and culminating just after Inauguration Day, in January 2021.

After losing the election, Trump issues wild accusations about a rigged vote and firmly states, “I will remain your one and only President” as he hunkers down in the White House bunker refusing to leave.

Who can get him out? His fellow Republicans? The Justice Department? Read GOTCHA! for the uproarious answer.

By mixing fact and fiction, GOTCHA! is both an entertaining romp and a warning about what America might be facing as Inauguration Day approaches.

He’s her knight in shining armor. Only she’s no damsel in distress.

Wyatt
I’m a self-made billionaire with a soft spot for damsels in distress, so when I move to the quirky lakeside community of Summerdale, I immediately zero in on the woman I most want to…ahem, rescue. Only the stubborn woman refuses to cooperate.

Sydney
When Satan, aka Wyatt Winters, moves to town, I do my best to be welcoming. After all, I’m the owner of the historic restaurant and bar that he keeps showing up at, despite criticizing nearly everything about it. Deep breath. I might’ve lost my cool and made a rude gesture in his direction. And told him off. How was I to know he was considering investing in my place?

Did I mention I’m in debt up to my eyeballs and every bank has turned me down?

Still, there’s not a snowball’s chance in hell I’d ever work with him. Or admit he fires me up in every way.

And then a snowstorm traps us together and—

I’m melting.

This romantic comedy stands alone with a swoonworthy happy-ever-after! No cliffhangers.

Sullivan Baker 

Moving to Laurel Springs and joining the LSERT was the best spur-of-the-moment decision I ever made. Here, out from under the expectations of my Police Chief father, I’m thriving. 

I’ve found a boldness and confidence I never had in Paradise Lost. 

And a woman who I can’t stop thinking about, dreaming about, and can’t seem to stay away from. Attorney Shelby Bruce knocked me for a loop and my head hasn’t stopped spinning since the night of our ‘friendmas’ Christmas party. 

When there’s a physical threat to her well-being, I won’t stop at anything to protect her, even if it means losing a piece of myself in the process.

Houston was my home until the big city reached out and bit me. Laurel Springs is more my speed, and I’ve settled into life here. 

A new friend group, building my new practice, and a smoking hot new love interest has my life extremely busy and full. I’m content. More content than I ever was in my old life. 

That all changes when I revise a will for one of the pillars of the Laurel Springs community. Effectively, she cuts her grandson out of her fortune. When he finds out it’s not pretty. 

Worse. He blames me. 

But something amazing happens. Day by day, I realize the relationships I’ve built within the community and the LSERT are stronger than I ever imagined. Especially when Sullivan Baker saves not only my life, but my heart.

I took her innocence as payment. 

She was far too young and naïve to be betrothed to a monster like me.

She never asked to marry into a powerful Russian mafia family. 

None of this was her choice. 

Unfortunately for her, I don’t care. 

I own her… and after three years of searching… I’ve found her. 

My runaway bride was about to learn disobedience has consequences… punishing ones. 

Having her in my arms and under my control had become an obsession. 

Nothing was going to keep me from claiming her before the eyes of God and man. 

She’s finally mine… and I’m never letting her go.
