Book Of The Day - War Cloud's Passion by Karen Kay

A Dangerous Passion.

 

Legendary Warriors, Book 1

 

At twenty-three, Anna Wiley is lucky. The children aboard an orphan train headed west don’t care that their nurse is too tall, too homely to be loved. They need her, and she will not rest until each one is placed in a loving home, including the last twelve bedraggled, rejected urchins clinging to her skirts.

 

When their train is attacked by a band of warriors bent on rescuing a kidnapped Indian boy, she doesn’t think twice about protecting the children—all the children, including the boy. Except keeping her charges safe means she must trust the formidable warrior who led the attack.

 

War Cloud plans to get the strong-willed white woman and her gaggle of children off his hands as soon as possible. Yet as he guides them toward civilization, he realizes there is beauty beneath Anna’s ill-fitting clothes, a strong spirit behind her sparkling green eyes.

 

Even as passion grows, War Cloud prepares to put her from him, and not only because of the animosity that hangs between their cultures. A centuries-old curse hangs over his ancestral line. A spell that could take her from him forever—should he dare to fall in love.

 

This is the 25th Year Anniversary Edition of this book.

 

Warning: Contains a passion that could lead to soul-stirring love, if the whispering ancestors have their way.

Book Picks Of The Week - November 6, 2023

Finding Love is Timeless, is a sweet small-town romance in Allanville, Texas featuring two lovable grandparents who took their title and position in the family seriously. Dating was not their priority. Love, for them, was far-fetched and beyond their interest.

Allanville’s matchmakers had nothing to do with bringing Lawanda Morrison (widow) and Nipsey Wilkerson (widower) together. Un-uhn, it was their grandchildren’s Fall Festival, aching joints, tired feet, and the comfort of a haystack bench.

Despite a bit of family drama, these precious souls decide to give love a try. Note… Lawanda Morrison is the mother of Fletcher from the story. If you haven’t read "You’re The One For Me" Book 4; please do so for the background information. Believe me, Ms. Lawanda holds her own!

Book Of The Day -THE COURTSHIP OF MEDICINE PAINT by Genny Cothern

THE COURTSHIP OF MEDICINE PAINT and two other Native American Short Stories

Will Elk Woman Win the Heart of Medicine Paint?

1810 Montana (known as Indian Country at this time in history)

Medicine Paint—of the Blackfeet Tribe—has known Elk Woman since the day she was born. As young adults, he is both irritated by her, yet intrigued by her. When they were young, she won many foot races against him, though he was six winters older than she. To Medicine Paint, she is nothing but a female aggravation. However, she is also one of the best hunters in camp, and when Medicine Paint's father asks him to take Elk Woman as his hunting partner, Medicine Paint feels offended, yet he agrees.

Over the years Elk Woman has grown into a young and beautiful woman, one who is a matrimonial catch and much sought after by the young men within the tribe. Even her prowess as a hunter does not dismay her many suitors. Yet, she has loved only one man all her life and will marry no one else but him, if he would only ask her.

As hunting partners, the two become friends and Medicine Paint has learned to swallow his pride. But, will he ever come to think of her as anything more than a feminine irritation?

Book Of The Day - She Paints My Soul by Karen Kay

CAN HER LOVE HEAL THE MEDICINE MAN'S HEART?

 

In spite of her fear of Indians, Sharon Wells travels from her home in St. Louis to Indian Territory in the northwest, along with her fiancé, and her friend Amelia, who is determined to return to Blackfoot Country. An orphan, Sharon yearns to be married and have a family of her own. She’s loyal to her fiancé, even when he carelessly puts her life in danger.  

 

Strikes Fast, of the Crow People, was once on the path to becoming a medicine man, but he has lost his way. When nearly all his family was killed in a Blackfoot raid, he went on the warpath to avenge the ghosts of his murdered family. But he’s carried revenge too far, and the blood of innocents has left him feeling no longer human, without empathy or sympathy. But the beautiful white woman, Sharon, ignites a spark in him. When she’s captured in an Indian raid and her fiancé does nothing, Strikes Fast hopes his heroic deed of rescuing her might return him to the good graces of the Creator, from whom all medicine men receive their powers. 

 

Strikes Fast’s handsome masculinity calls out to Sharon, as her beauty and her kindness calls to him. Trapped together in a blizzard, surrounded by danger, and despite the many reasons they shouldn’t be together, their growing love is undeniable. Can they find a way to heal one another and create the family each of them is longing for?

 

Warning:  A sensuous romance that might just melt a gal's heart.

Book Pick Of The Week - June 12

Trapped By Reese

 

Meet the girls: Naomi, Arnya (pronounced Ahn-yah), Stephanie, and Jasmine—four friends who meet during a dreaded group assignment in Freshman Assembly.

Naomi is on the verge of leaning into her adulthood. An only child in a prestigious family, she attempts to break out of her sheltered life to find herself. When love comes knocking in an unconventional way, Naomi has to choose between her traditionally structured upbringing and her carnal desires.

Arnya finds herself living her young adult life grieving the loss of her mother when a chance encounter at a charity event opens the door for romance. Her happily-ever-after approaches destruction when a past lover emerges, threatening to expose the truth about her son.

Stephanie, the former “church kid,” wants nothing more than freedom from her overprotective, saved-and-sanctified grandmother. When a job opportunity of a lifetime falls into her lap, Stephanie finds herself caught up in a web of deceit—and the arms of her boss.

Jasmine is a natural-born hustler. Her ability to read people goes a long way toward getting her into college—and occasionally into trouble. Jasmine is as carefree as she is calculating, and she makes it a point to keep everyone on their toes. The tide shifts in her world when a thoughtless bet nearly costs her a friendship—and her heart.

Join the krewe on this decade-long ride through girls’ trips, family drama, and uncovered secrets that will have you clutching your pearls, in this spicy novel, New Orleans style.

Book Of The Day - She Captures My Heart by Karen Kay

Two Worlds. Two Hearts. A Forbidden Passion.

Amelia McIntosh was only fourteen when she fell in love with the young and handsome Gray Falcon of the Blackfoot Tribe. He’d helped her through a difficult time, and, for him in turn, she’d opened up a vital part of the medicine man's world. Five years later, Amelia is still in love with the mesmerizing Gray Falcon, but her refusal to marry anyone but him has created a dangerous problem for her and her family.

When Amelia—the pesky little girl from Gray Falcon's past—returns to the Northwest, he can't help but notice she has blossomed into a beautiful, desirable woman -- one who sets his heart aflame. Yet, he must resist her feminine charms because, though she is a friend, what she asks of him is against all Gray Falcon stands for as a medicine man.

United only in love, will love, alone, be enough to stave off a world threatening to pull them apart?

Warning: A sensuous romance that might cause a gal to capture the heart of her own true love.

Women In Literature - Meet Paulette Nunlee

The pediatric surgeon's grief over losing a patient was overwhelming. Recurring dreams and sleepless nights threatened her return to the operating room. Unacceptable, when she had little ones depending on her. Would her protector from twenty-five years ago be able to rescue her yet again? They cross paths in an unexpected setting and discover an attraction they're unable to resist. The ex pro basketball player had his own demons to slay before they threatened the tranquility of his family.

Read Today - https://amzn.to/40nMIk3

Caught reading her mother’s stash of tabloid magazines as a grade schooler, Paulette Nunlee continued writing and reading every day since.  Her mother surprised her with a diary and that sparked her imagination for writing. A retired telecommunications executive, she launched a career in consulting and tutoring, and keeping small businesses abreast of  communications advancements. At 77, she penned her first book, MAGIC HANDS: Sistahs in Medicine. The medical romance series debut episodes on Amazon Kindle Vella enjoyed a meteoric rise to the Top 250 Faved readers list. She edits books for award-winning authors, loving the first peek at her literary besties’ best selling gems.

 A native Michigander, Paulette’s a wife and mother to two sons. When not editing as Five Star Proofing, she’s honing her passion for creating content for her self editing tips and marketing her books. Enjoying the writing adventure, her goal is to entice new readers to return for her new episodes on the Kindle Vella platform. Readers can keep up with her journey on Facebook at Author Paulette Nunlee and Five Star Proofing. She has a website in the works at paulettenunlee.com.

 

Why did you choose to write books?

 

I’ve loved words since winning a dictionary in a spelling bee in grade school. Years later, while proofreading others’ books, I was encountering characters and ideas in my head that forced me to start writing some of my thoughts. Having a number of women physicians in the family prompted my interest further to write a contemporary women’s series.

 

What is your most proud moment as an author?

 

My debut book, MAGIC HANDS: Sistahs in Medicine, reached 100 on the TOP FAVES 250 list of most read Kindle Vella books. It has remained on the list one year later.

 

Why should readers read your current book?

 

My targeted audience enjoys contemporary women’s fiction in the romance genre. Stories about the personal lives of women professionals in the medical field is different since their access to physician specialities is limited. My books include the obstacles and rewards in pursuit of their dreams.

 

What do you think will be your writing legacy? 

 

 I didn’t allow my age, in my late 70s to keep me from publishing my debut medical romance series.

 

What advice would you offer an author whose book is releasing next week? 

 

Work on creating an infrastructure for your literary branding. Try to collect as many reviews as possible to be posted during the release date.  Schedule social media postings for at least a month on platforms where you’ve built a presence. Also research groups for posting that read your genre for after you’ve run out of family and friends purchasing their copy.

Multi-published Author of American Indian Historical Romances, KAREN KAY, aka GEN BAILEY, has been praised by reviewers and fans alike for bringing insights into the everyday life of the American Indian culture of the past.  As Reviewer, Suzanne Tucker, once wrote, “Ms. Kay never fails to capture the pride, the passion and the spirit of the American Indian…"

 

KAREN KAY's American Indian heritage includes her great grandmother who was Choctaw Indian, and she is adopted Blackfeet.  Ms. Kay is honored to be able to write about the American Indian culture.

 

“With the power of romance, I hope to bring about an awareness of the American Indian’s concept of honor, and what it meant to them to live as free men and free women.  There are some things that should never be forgotten.”

 

Why did you choose to write books?

 

Answer:  When I was young, I played piano and clarinet.  And when I grew older and was not very rich and wished to have some aesthetics in my life, I couldn't afford to buy a piano, but I could afford pen and paper.  But, there's more: I chose to write American Indian romance books because there are simply some things that are important about our American heritage and those things should never be forgotten.

 

What is your most proud moment as an author?

 

Answer:  It was this last December when the new release of my book, SHE CAPTURES MY HEART hit #1 on the new release category for American Historical Romance.

 

Why should a reader read your current book?

 

Well, this new book is filled with much about the medicine man of old, his strict moral code and much about his life as a medicine man, his powers and his relationship with the Creator.

 

What do you think will be your writing legacy?

 

I'm hoping my books will interest people to try to find out a little bit more about our legacy from a people who brought the value of freedom to the Europeans who were fleeing tyranny.

 

What advice would you offer an author whose book is releasing next week?

Advertise, and advertise a lot for probably 1-2 months and then get on with a new story.  SORMAG Promotion is a wonderful place to advertise.

Women In Literature - Meet Ellen Parker

America beckons with opportunity during the 1850’s.

 

Louisa Mueller, a baker’s daughter, arrives in Elm Ridge, Illinois with determination to learn English and work as a baker. Since the death of her sweetheart a year ago, she pushes aside thoughts of marriage. However, she’s intrigued by a fellow passenger who tells the most interesting stories.

 

Desperate for a fresh start, a young thief takes the name Hans Hoffmann when a look-alike passenger dies during the trans-Atlantic passage. Vowing to be an honest man in America, Hans discovers temptation wears many disguises. Will the pair be rewarded as they attempt their new dreams in a strange land?

Raised in a household filled with books, it was only natural that Ellen Parker grew into an avid reader. She turned to writing as a second career and enjoys spinning the type of story which appeals to multiple generations. She encourages her readers to share her work with mother or daughter – or both.

Ellen currently lives in St. Louis. When not guiding characters to “happily ever after” she’s apt to be reading, walking in the neighborhood, or tending her tiny garden. You can find her on the web at www.ellen-parker-writes.com and www.facebook.com/ellenparkerwrites.

Why did you choose to write books?

When I visit a library or bookstore, I’m drawn to full-length novels, biographies, and historical works rather than short-stories, poetry, or anthologies. So when I started to write – I wanted my work to fit what I read. I struggled at first to make my stories long enough for publication as a novel, but as the years progress, the length comes a little more natural.

What is your most proud moment as an author?

It’s difficult to pick just one. However, when I’m selling books at a craft show, it’s a real thrill for a person to say “I’ve never met an author before” and want to shake my hand.

Why should a reader read your current book?

New Dreams is a clean and wholesome romance set in 1850’s Illinois. My book is suitable for all ages and will have a happy ending. In addition, some of the incidents from a time of great change in the mid-nineteenth century echo in the present.

What do you think will be your writing legacy?

I have learned a great deal from other writers. I hope that I am able to pass down some knowledge to the writers that follow – either by reviews, critiques, or conversations over coffee.

What advice would you offer an author whose book is releasing next week?

I would encourage them to post about their book on every social media platform where they have an account. Then I would ask them to find several friends willing to read the book and post a review in the first weeks after release.
