Nothing comes easy.

Nothing is given but must always be earned.

The problem is I’m too tainted and broken to have anything good.

That was a lesson I was taught early.

A lesson I carried throughout my life, and into every relationship I had.

I did not trust.

Trusting meant I was vulnerable, and when you let your guard down, that’s when all the dark shit seeps in. That’s when the demons attack.

Nothing good happens in the dark.

But, Aurora, she was the sun, there was a goodness about her. I knew if I didn’t let her go, I would dim her light and chip away at the wonderful person she was. It's what I did, what I’ve always done. I take the good and break it.

But no one told me letting her go would be one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to face.

The Moment changed everything. But was it enough?

Bracat has changed since the Moment-the collective joining of minds-opened up new possibilities of peace for its people. Even the rogue wizard Malzus is seeking forgiveness for his past sins. But this new feeling of unity is tentative, and the future is never certain . . . In the midst of this change, gem cutter Theb discovers something curious: It looks like an ordinary stone, but he knows it is something extraordinary. A crystal that exists in two realms at once, but only Theb can see its uniqueness. Then Theb begins to have dreams of a woman, calling for help from a deserted island far away from Bracat. An impenetrable fog is threatening the island, and the strange crystal seems to be the only answer. There are others who hear the woman's call. To find the source, Theb joins with a reformed wizard, a former thief, and an old enemy. Together, they vow to find the voice, braving the turbulent ocean to discover what is hidden behind the fog.

Something strange is going down in the sleepy seaside village of Madderly Bay. Best friends Selena and Chloe are stuck in the most boring summer ever—until food starts coming to life and running wild in the streets.

But that’s just the beginning. Earthquakes start shaking the village, and creepy claw marks show up, hinting at something dark stirring beneath the waves.

As the tremors get worse and the water turns a scary green, the girls have to figure out what’s awakening in the depths before it’s too late. With their friend Zelda and her magical squid, Glowella, by their side, they’ll risk everything to save both the human and magical worlds from a danger that could destroy them all.

In this thrilling adventure, Selena and her friends have to face their fears and dig up some serious secrets between the human and magical worlds. With their village and the ocean in danger, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Can they figure out what’s messing with the sea before it’s too late?

(Swift Angel MC)

Motorcycle Club Romance, First Responders, Suspense

Date Published: February 28, 2025

 

 

Loyalty runs deep and secrets simmer beneath the surface in this tale of forbidden love.

 

Akira -- I’m the daughter of a Dixie Reaper, but this isn’t the life I want. I’m tired of being overprotected, and forced to follow rules I don’t necessarily agree with. The moment I laid eyes on Logan, I knew my life was about to change. I also knew I was in for a rough ride. Why? Because he’s a paramedic and part of the Swift Angels MC, and let’s just say my dad’s club functions more in the gray area. Logan is everything I’ve ever wanted in a guy. I knew we couldn’t sneak around forever, but I also didn’t count on the series of storms about to hit us head-on. Not only is my dad’s club dead set against my relationship with Logan, but my instincts are telling me something bigger is going on.

Logan -- Forbidden fruit. That’s exactly what Akira is. My VP has warned me away from her, but what can I say? The heart wants what the heart wants. No matter what obstacles we face, I’ll make Akira mine! I’ve never backed down from a fight, and I’m not about to start now. But when a string of troubling incidents seems to target both of us, I have to wonder am I the one in danger or is my sweet Akira at risk? Either way, I refuse to let them get away with it… even if it means the Swift Angels and Dixie Reapers have to work together, because there’s nothing I won’t do to keep Akira safe.

Are you ready for a suspenseful journey filled with passion, betrayal, and a fight for a love that could change everything?

WARNING: Emergency Date is Book 2 in the Swift Angels MC series. It can be read as a stand-alone, but you may enjoy the story more if the series is read in order. This is a slow-burn romantic suspense set in a small town. Guaranteed HEA, no cheating, and no cliffhanger for the main couple! For readers 18+ due to adult situations, bad language, and violence.

One in six American adults take psychiatric medication and yet, doctors are only allotted twenty-minute appointments that are spaced out by months at a time. This book starts at minute twenty-one and is filled with everything you wish your doctor had time to explain about mental health. Nearly sixty million American adults struggle with mental illness but half are not receiving any treatment and only a quarter of them have access to psychotherapy. With demand for treatment far outpacing supply, our current mental health crisis requires a new approach that goes beyond the limitations of the health care system.

Dr. Julia Krankl, a Harvard and UCLA-trained psychiatrist, trauma resilience specialist and physician educator details her mental wellness menu-fifteen practical ways to improve mental health that don't involve taking a pill or doing formal therapy. Readers of The 21st Minute will be empowered to become the hero of their mental wellness journey using tools that work. The 21st Minute bridges the gap between what doctors hurriedly explain in twenty minutes and what we all need to thrive. For physicians and therapists who practice holistic mental health care, The 21st Minute stands as an evidence-based resource of alternatives and adjuncts to medication management and psychotherapy.

The 21st Minute offers an accessible and transformative roadmap to optimal mental wellness using modern medicine, evolutionary psychology and diverse cultural perspectives. If you are ready for a new approach to achieve your mental health goals on your terms-this is it.
