Desert Rice:

Samantha Jean Haggert is a beautiful twelve-year-old girl,
but no one knows it. All they see is an awkward boy in a baseball cap and baggy
pants. Sam's not thrilled with the idea of hiding her identity, but it's all
part of her brother's plan to keep Sam safe from male attention and hidden from
the law. Fifteen-year-old Jacob will stop at nothing to protect his sister,
including concealing the death of the one person who should have protected them
in the first place--their mother.

Sam and Jacob try to outrun their past by stealing the
family car and traveling from West Virginia to Arizona, but the adult world
proves mighty difficult to navigate, especially for two kids on their own.
Trusting adults has never been an option; no adult has ever given them a good
reason. But when Sam meets "Jesus"--who smells an awful lot like a
horse--in the park, life takes a different turn. He saved her once, and may be
willing to save Sam and her brother again, if only they admit what took place
that fateful day in West Virginia. The problem? Sam doesn't remember, and Jacob
isn't talking.

"First, a disclosure: I was Angela's literary agent
back in 2010/2011 and I was in love with this book. I knew it would be an
almost impossible sell to publishers who were looking for the next big vampire
or zombie book (which, as it turns out, Angela appears to have followed this
one with). We got turned down for all the wrong reasons... and now, a smaller
publisher has picked it up for all the right ones: #1 of which is, it's a
damned good book." –

"I'm a VERY difficult reader to please and this isn't a
book I would typically read but I read it and boy was I blown away. This novel
captivated me, not from the first page but from the very first sentence, where
we are brought smack in the middle of the action. The voice of the innocent and
mostly naïve narrator, Samantha, is honest and real as she navigates through
two journeys; an inner journey of the issues surrounding becoming a teenager
(nicely addresses some tween topics), and a journey of dealing with the world
around her." –
M. Charafeddine (Book Haven)

"There are books that are un-put-downable. I fall so
deep into these books it's as if I am a living, breathing character involved in
the chaos, heartache and adventures played out before my eyes. Desert Rice was
no exception. The first page pulled me into a story full of heroism, plot
thickening, and cliff hanging moments. A book is many things to one person. And
to that one person, a book holds many chances for time travel, fast paced
adventure and a bond with people you love and will never meet. To me, this book
held a world I'd gladly ad to my shelf so I can visit often." –

Circles:

With much of the world still undiscovered, a small band of
people live a peaceful life, until the dream vision of a young boy, Feather
Floating In Water, changes everything. Only nine winters old, Feather's dreams
turn his seemingly ordinary childhood into the journey of a lifetime. He must
help his people face a terrifying destiny from which they cannot turn away. He
must find a way to make his people listen.

Bright Sun Flower, the boy's grandmother, guides his
beginnings, teaching him about the Circle of Life, and how without it, no life
can exist. But he needs a bigger push, and gets it from a grey wolf and a Great
Elder. The boy's journey leads him to discover that the Circle of Life involves
all people, all living things, and not just the world he knows.

In the end, an ancient People guide the boy in his visions,
toward an unexpected place hidden from outsiders.

This story is steeped in American Indian life, in their
beliefs and humor, and in their love of family. It shows how we might benefit
from the old ways today.

"This novel of historic fiction is a must for any fan of
Native American history, or seeker of knowledge, or lover of life. It is
expertly crafted with vivid imagery and characters that will become beloved. If
you don't know what it means to sing someone home, prepare to swallow hard. It
is heart warming and moving. Truly a thing of beauty." –
T.W. Griffith

"Gorgeous language, an inspiring story, and
unforgettable characters--Circles has it all. I fell for this book in the very
first chapter when we're introduced to Feather Floating In Water, and I didn't
fall out from under its spell even after I had read the final word. I found
myself "thumbing" back through the pages to read particular passages
just like I return to my favorite poems." –
Yvonne Rupert

"From the first chapter, truly the first paragraph, I
was transported into the lives of the characters, feeling their joys, pains,
their lives. The gentle way in which the author writes, you feel deeply fulfilled.
Your soul expands as you read, you wish for it to continue forever." –

"In today's age, where everything is delivered at a
high speed pace, we have a book that slows us right down and allows us to take
a breath as we follow the simple life of an American Indian people at the time
of the conquistadores. If you want to read something that is not formulaic, but
original and captivating, then this is your book." –

HANNAH'S VOICE

by Robb Grindstaff

This Up-Market Literary Fiction, exploring the
extraordinary events of one girl's life and struggles to be understood, is now
available at
Amazon
.

~~~~~

When six-year-old Hannah's brutal honesty is mistaken for
lying, she stops speaking. Her family, her community, and eventually, the
entire nation struggle to find meaning in her silence.

School officials suspect abuse. Church members are
divided—either she has a message from God or is possessed by a demon. Social
workers interrupt an exorcism to wrest Hannah away from her momma, who has a tenuous
grip on sanity.

Hidden in protective foster care for twelve years, she loses
all contact with her mother and remains mute by choice.

When Hannah leaves foster care at age eighteen to search for
Momma, a national debate rages over her silence.

A religious movement awaits her prophecy and celebrates her
return. An anarchist group, Voices for the Voiceless, cites Hannah as its
inspiration. The nation comes unhinged, and the conflict spills into the
streets when presidential candidates chime in with their opinions on
Hannah—patriotic visionary or dangerous radical. A remnant still believes she
is evil and seeks to dispatch her from this world.

Hannah stands at the intersection of anarchists and
fundamentalists, between power politics and an FBI investigation. All she wants
is to find her momma, a little peace and quiet, and maybe some pancakes.

One word would put an end to the chaos… if only Hannah can
find her voice.

Praise for
Hannah's Voice
:

"Grindstaff's prose is unadorned, deft, carefully
constructed—but I think what sets this novel apart is its humor. Grindstaff has
a knack for portraying the drama of Hannah's dilemma in a way that makes you
giggle." –
P.B. "Pete" Morin

"All great art should have three essential qualities:
It should either entertain or be aesthetic in some way. It should be
provocative. And it should be relevant to the culture and preferably with
timeless themes. Robb Grindstaff's
Hannah's Voice
has all three of these
qualities. Grindstaff's writing is pure, and free of the hyperbole and love for
one's own words that often get in the way of a good story. His deft handling of
the character and personality of Hannah at two distinct stages in her life
showcases his mastery of language and characterization. He carefully chose each
word to show the ten year difference in Hannah's life while staying true to who
she really is. That is no small feat." –
Lanette Kauten

"This book is so well written and Hannah is so
compelling, her voice lingers in my mind long after I have finished reading. If
Hannah's Voice
doesn't end up on the bestseller's list, on every notable
list... I will be shocked." –
Michelle L. Johnson

"
Hannah's Voice
is a beautiful story, and I'm
going to tell you about it, but before I do: seriously, you guys, read it. I'm
not kidding. You'll be changed forever, inside... it's not a book with such
strong thematic material that it will make anyone cringe, but it will be burned
into your brain for eternity in such a delightful way. Touching, moving, funny,
awesome. I can't say it enough: this book is revolutionary, and the best thing
I've read in years. Awesome. AWESOME." –

Seventeen years after Mitchell Norton, 
the devil
, terrorized
Algonquin, Illinois on a spree of kidnapping, torture and murder, the
authorities release the butcher from psychiatric prison.

prevents his doing so.

The devil

do about it? Aye, what indeed.

After all, this is what Tony does. It's who
he is. 
The devil
 himself long ago made Tony into

"Lane gets you into the head of the characters and you
feel this bond with them urging you to read faster to find out what happens
next. You know you are reading a great book when you need to stop reading but
keep telling yourself just one more chapter, then one more leads to half the
book. I felt so bad for Tony and all his loss. I wanted to murder Mitchell
Norton myself. I wish I knew old Frank personally. I was caught off guard by
the ending and can't wait for the next book! Well done!" – Jennifer @
