#Exclusive #Giveaway The Muse Unlocked by @chriskuhnauthor #Review & #Giveaway

All women want to feel desired and see themselves through someone else's eyes as desirable. Cate knew this better than most and had spent her life honing her craft to tell stories that reminded every woman of any age, any size or temperament that she deserved to feel this way. To others, 38-year-old screenwriter and author Cate Mullen appears the consummate professional and at the top of her game. But a sharp, biting wit and tough, confident persona mask something else. Each night, when she returns home, the frequent storyteller of passion and romance is reminded that, while the house is occupied by another – a husband of 12 years – she is in fact living alone. As Cate confronts feelings of rejection and inadequacy that plague her self-esteem and threaten to block her creativity, she begins production on her latest scripted film. There she meets 28-year-old, promising actor, Oliver Sand. As one relationship ends, a new intimacy begins that offers hope of crushing past fears and insecurities though it brings its own set of unique challenges. Would getting involved with a cast member jeopardize Cate’s career or be used against her? Could they be using each other or was true love really possible, as the writer had always touted but never quite believed? A mixture of quick wit, sexy banter and slow-churning romance, The Muse Unlocked is a tale of one woman’s journey to release herself from the constraints of her past and open her heart to the future.

#Giveaway #Inspirational #Week Mike: A Man for Others by William Allen Quinlan Jr.

When Michael Andrew Quinlan entered the world in 1942 in Washington, DC, his birth was a miracle. According to at least one physician, his very conception was impossible. Twelve inches long, two-and-a-half months premature and weighing just over three pounds, Mike survived and thrived for the next sixty-six years. But in 2009, he died suddenly, just twelve days after being diagnosed with mantle cell B lymphoma, a virulent form of cancer that is difficult to diagnose.

In Mike: A Man for Others, author William Allen Quinlan, Jr., Mike’s brother, narrates Mike’s story and the significant impact he had on those around him. The author presents a personal history that is part memoir and part biography, chronicling his brother’s life—his birth as the youngest of three boys; his parental background; his upbringing in Bethesda, Maryland; and his days as a student, US Marine, successful food and beverage manager, dedicated and accomplished golfer, certified member of the Golf Nut Society of America; and a loving husband, brother, father, and grandfather.

Always heartfelt and sincere, and sometimes humorous, Mike: A Man for Others celebrates Mike Quinlan’s life, shares his stories, and teaches about loving life to the fullest, about giving, not taking.

AMAZING True story of a young boys fight for life beginning in his mothers womb and his incredible experiences in both heaven and hell

Though the boy died, heaven prevailed, life returned to his body, and he received a mandate to fulfill God’s will on earth.

Glimpses into the afterlife from a near-death experience The supernatural power of faith Perseverance for breakthrough Miracles at every turn
Experiencing A Touch from Heaven stirs you to believe for the impossible and reminds you of God’s great faithfulness towards His people.
