Women In Literature - Meet Erin Hodges





Death, in itself, is a mystery.

But when one experiences multiple deaths consecutively, that mystery now becomes more convoluted. In this twisted, roller coaster ride of emotions, when Geraldine Brentwood’s fiancĂ©, and even her ex-lovers, start dropping like flies, she unexpectedly becomes the prime suspect. Even though each of them broke a piece of her heart that seemingly could never be replaced, she is yet in the process of clearing her name as the one who has done the unthinkable.

In this literary masterpiece, The Cassanova Killer, author Erin Hodges takes readers on a murder mystery journey of love and life lessons that seem like too much for one person to bear. As Geraldine learns to stop looking for love in all the wrong places, she finds herself befriending someone who may not exactly have her best interest at heart, to say the least. Filled with heartbreak, heartache, betrayal and backstabbing, readers will be left on the edges of their seats as they indulge in this page turner from beginning to end.

When it’s all said and done, will Geraldine yield to the world’s definition of love, or will she awaken to her authentic greatness within and love herself as she is unapologetically and unafraid?

While many see writing as a favorite pastime or hobby, she strives to build a lucrative full-time career with the power of her pen. For Erin Hodges, whether she is reading the hottest new release, or writing her next bestseller, she holds a special place in her heart for all things literary. After years of encouragement and motivation from her mother to write and enter writing contests, Erin once only dreamed of becoming a published author—but now, that dream has manifested. Motivated by the freedom of time, coupled with the artistic free flow of creativity, she looks forward to the day when she can focus solely on pen and prose, making a lucrative living through her writing.

Having transitioned out of her early career in teaching to technical writing, Erin was introduced to tech writing first through a graphic design course where she learned how to code on a basic level. Once she landed a job performing data entry for manuals using computer code at a defense company, the door opened for her to move into technical writing. In her day job, she writes technical manuals for the defense industry, which plays a key role in keeping soldiers safe in the field and in battle. But that doesn’t stop her creative flow.

Holding a Master of Arts in Communication from Eastern Michigan University, her love for the literary arts speaks loud and clear whether she’s working a 9-to-5 or creating a fictional masterpiece.

Why did you choose to write books?

I choose to write books because I’ve always had a love for reading and writing. One of my dream jobs as a child was to be an author.

What is your most proud moment as an author?

My most proud moment is holding the physical copy of my book, realizing that I stepped out on faith and published it.

Why should a reader read your current book?

A reader should read my current book because it is an interesting whodunit that will keep readers guessing. Unlike other whodunits it is a quick read and even the busiest person can make time to read it.

What do you think will be your writing legacy?

I think my writing legacy would be that I am an author who wrote interesting and engaging novels with characters that resonate with readers despite it being characters in a murder mystery or suspense novel.

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

My advice would be to make sure you have a marketing plan written out. And that writing the book is the easy part. Most importantly, have fun through the process and don’t stress yourself out.

Women In Literature - Meet Rose Jackson-Beavers




Journey With Me to Jesus

Each day is considered a gift, so treat yourself to the best gift of all, a stronger, more capable, and spiritual self. Journey to Jesus With Me is a daily devotional written by Rose Jackson-Beavers to 1) encourage you to look inwardly, 2) think about the things that might have been imbedded in your subconscious, and 3) motivate you to make changes in your present.

For 30 days, this book guides the readers with a prominent daily scripture that will allow each person to address past thoughts with current actions. You will not go on this journey alone as Rose Jackson-Beavers relives some of her moments. Through transparency and faith, Rose shares lessons that her mother instilled in her and how she incorporated those lessons into her life. She also shares a corresponding scripture to help those who desire encouragement and help to think of those things.

During a time of such harshness, this book was written to build the reader up, and give you a fresh start to each day, no matter how the previous day has been.

Within 30 days, allow yourself the space and the opportunity to put your spiritual and emotional life first, and aim to fix the things that might be hindering you. As you go through each day, with Rose Jackson-Beavers, allow the scriptures, anecdotes, and thought-led questions to speak to you as you continue to pursue the trials of life. As each day passes, you get stronger, until finally you have your own stories to reference and build yourself up.

Rose is an inspirational speaker frequently asked to talk to youths and young adults about life issues. She has received many awards for her work.

She has worked as a freelance writer for A-Magazine, a St. Louis Publication, The Spanish Lake Word Newspaper, and as an Opinion Shaper for the North County Journal Newspaper. Rose is the author of thirteen books. Several became Amazon's best sellers. She has published over 100 books and worked with more than 100 authors, with many books becoming best sellers and receiving award-winning recognition. In addition, Rose is a mental health faith-based training consultant and has trained over 114 churches and more than 400 wellness champions throughout the Illinois and St. Louis areas.

Why did you choose to write books?

I am a person who writes to release stress. As a young person, I loved to journal my feelings. I always felt better when I wrote down my concerns, fears, and problems. It was as if I could feel the pressure lifting out of my body, and I felt peace. I also loved visiting places in my dreams, so I wanted to write about travel, love, and drama. As a shy person, I found comfort in traveling with written words. I wouldn't have had the courage to travel across the country because of my inability to fly for more than five hours. Writing can be good for self-care and helps to deal with stress.

What is your most proud moment as an author?

When invited to travel to other cities through my sorority as an author for their yearly tour. I haven't done it since COVID, but I love visiting other states and meeting my sorority sisters if the flight is under 5 hours. When people say they read my work, enjoyed the story, and give me kudos, I feel a sense of pride for accomplishing my goals.

Why should a reader read your current book?

We are going through some difficult times, and sometimes we, as Christians, may feel that God has left our side. I want people to take this journey with me to Jesus and read my experiences and work on the activities, and they will see that God never left them and that He was with them the entire time. When you can relate to other people's experiences, it will open your eyes to see that God was always with you. Participating in the activities will remind you that God brought you through your challenges.

What do you think will be your writing legacy?

That I helped people become authors. I published over fifty authors and more than 100 books and worked with close to 200 authors giving advice, coaching, or presenting information to them in seminars. Also, self-care is essential to your well-being and can include writing, reading, participating in activities, and just doing something that brings you joy.

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

First, I congratulate the writer and let them know that it is a considerable achievement and do all they can to get the book to readers. That may cost you, but if you want readers to know you and purchase your work, you must invest in marketing. Then I will take the advice myself. Secondly, I would ask if they created a plan and worked on it for six months. If you didn't, you still need to do it because your book will never be too old for new readers of your work.

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.

Book Of The Day - SHE STEALS MY BREATH by Karen Kay

 


 

Her Beauty Takes His Breath Away… Only She Can Restore It


Eagle Heart of the Blackfoot Nation has not come to the trading post, Fort Union, to trade, but to find his missing brother. The medicine man has never seen a white woman, but, when she walks into the room, her beauty literally steals his breath.  

 

Laylah McIntosh has assets besides beauty that make her valuable to her father, the fort's trader: her skill with numbers, her photographic memory and her knowledge of the sign language used by all the tribes. But, when she’s injured and caught in a fierce blizzard, it is Eagle Heart, alone, who rescues her.


Forced into each other's company, their attraction deepens. But a union between them is forbidden in both their worlds.


Can their love find a way to survive the wrath?  Or will their differences separate them forever?


Warning:  Sensuous romance and a love written in the stars could cause a gal to go West in search of love and adventure.

Book Of The Day - Night Thunder's Bride by Karen Kay

Night Thunder's Bride

Blackfoot Warriors, Book Three

 


When lady’s maid Rebecca Cothern journeyed westward, she never thought to leave her mistress’s side. Yet as Katrina Wellington completes her own journey with White Eagle, Rebecca waits at Ft. Union under the protection of Blackfoot warrior, Night Thunder.

Despite what she’s been told about the wild nature of the native tribes, Night Thunder is different. Kind, gentle, honorable to a fault…and handsome in a way that makes her breathless for his next touch.

Though Night Thunder relishes stolen moments with the beautiful white woman, circumstances dictate that he should keep his distance. Until she is stolen away in the night, and he discovers he cannot simply ride into the enemy camp, kill the guilty and sweep her to safety. The thieves are vengeful malcontents from his own tribe, which leaves him only one way to save her from the worst kind of violation.

He must claim that she is his bride. Not only that, she must willingly bare all—heart, soul and body—to claim him as hers.

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

Warning: Contains warm, sensual love scenes that are certain to have you reaching for your own true Night Thunder.
