Phuong Nguyen grew up a foster child; she knew the true meaning of Hell on Earth. In her teens, she''d desperately sought refuge in the online virtual world. Within those computer-based communities she could be anyone. Do anything. She became known around the world as Ratridevi, co-founder of the Hive Collective. With the Hive''s assistance she''d taken down dictators. Brought child pornographers to justice. She''d at long last found love. But now her research into consciousness, meditation, and virtual reality had unearthed a stunning breakthrough - she could view any time in history before 1966 and create an exact video recording of what occurred. These revelations could help viewers track down long-lost gold mines, reveal the truth behind religious systems, and destroy corrupt empires. Now she just has to stay alive long enough to share the news. * * * A Time to Mourn A Time to Dance is book one in this series. In general, my novellas are written without explicit intimacy or violence. As such they are suitable for teens and up. I support battered women''s shelters. I would love your input as I''m writing these - it''s your suggestions which will help guide the direction the story moves in! If you prefer to read your stories complete, you are welcome to wait until the sequence is complete and then buy the box set. Either way, you support the cause! I traditionally create a boxed set for my novella series every three books or so.

How would you like to be able to control your dreams? To turn your dream into a virtual holodeck, like on Star Trek, where you can be anyone and go anywhere? You can fly, you can breathe underwater, you can visit distant planets and live the life you''ve always wanted. This is what lucid dreaming is all about. In a lucid dream, you become aware that you''re dreaming - and you can now control it. You can cause a white stallion to appear on your tropical beach and ride him along the turquoise waters. You can turn your nightmare of a twisted forest into a quiet wood with a beautiful, mossy pond. If you wish, a unicorn can appear to nestle at your side. I''d say the sky was the limit - but really, it''s not. If you want to head into outer space, and bounce along the moon''s surface, you can! I''ve been lucid dreaming for many years and have helped others achieve this same glorious state. By following my step-by-step guidelines, you''ll find that you''re lucid dreaming in no time at all.

Kathy Taylor had weathered eight rough years as a black female police officer in Boston - but enough was enough. She turned in her badge, moved up north, and set up shop as a private investigator in historic Salem, Massachusetts. Now she''s surrounded by wiccans and herbalists, by crystal shops and psychic pizza-deliverymen. And her first client has just stepped in the door. The Lucky Cat is the very first entry in the Salem Massachusetts Mini Mystery series. These short stories will be written and loaded one a day from October 1 through October 31, 2014. All author''s proceeds from this series benefit battered women''s shelters. Lisa has lived in scenic Massachusetts since 1986, with only two brief forays out of state. She loves the history of Salem. One of Lisa’s ancestors was Ann Foster, who died during the Salem Witch Trials. Ann Foster was a grandmother by that time and sacrificed herself to protect her daughter and granddaughter.

It was cosmic fate that I was a thought-after grand-niece, for it meant when Tobias passed away from his delirium that his run-down apartment in Providence, Rhode Island became available to me. Fate, too, that the abhorrent discovery of my girlfriend cheating on me with a nautical blonde drove me back to a city I swore I would never live in again. But the fates had an even more horrific plan in store for me. For in the dusty back room of my grand-uncle''s third floor awaited three musty, long-abandoned boxes. And when curiosity drove me to open the lid ... * * * The Monstrous Vision of the Cthulhu Call is book one in my series: A Lovecraft Romp Through Every Genre There Is – And Some That Are Not. As the title might indicate, I was informed by a fellow author that every series absolutely must stay within a well-defined genre. Being a contrarian, I promptly set out to write a series in which each subsequent story is set with the same characters in a wildly different genre. I would love to hear your thoughts as I write this series as to which genres I should tackle next. Space Opera? Cozy Mystery? Amish Romance? The fun of me posting series as I write them is that it provides you, the reader, with an opportunity to shape and guide the results! Book 1 is the Horror Genre book. I will post a boxed set when I finish, for those who prefer to read series all at once. A portion of all proceeds benefit battered women''s shelters. I lived in Providence for two years and the series is based on where I lived.

The Colony of Connecticut in 1773. Christina O''Donovan''s beloved older brother was dead. Her father, a veteran of the French and Indian War, was injured and unable to keep up with the family farm. And so she''d reluctantly agreed to a marriage with a miner who worked at the local Simsbury copper mines. His courtship was a business transaction - nothing more. But when Seth somehow slipped and fell, descending a ladder he''d traversed a thousand times before, Christina was drawn into a maze of subterfuge she never could have imagined coming. And at its center stood William Johnson Crawford, a New Hampshire man who would change her life forever. ... Newgate Prison Copper Mines and the The Irish Lass - A 1700s Colonial America Sweet Romance Novella is a historical series set around the real-life copper mines in Simbsbury, Connecticut. In the late 1700s these mines had been run dry. They were then converted into the infamous Newgate Prison, one of the first federal attempts in the new United States to hold and incarcerate dangerous men. These mines were notorious in their own time, spawning delightfully adjective-rich newspaper write-ups as well as terror amongst the Tories who were threatened with a stay. The history and many characters are as authentic as I can make them. William Johnson Crawford is a documented person from this timeframe. You can read these novellas one at a time as I write them, or you can wait until I finish the boxed set and present the complete story. Some readers prefer to read as I go, while others like to wait. It''s wholly up to you which you prefer! Contact me with any questions - I''d love to hear your feedback and ideas! And definitely make plans to visit Newgate when you can. It is an absolutely amazing experience, to descend into those historic copper mines and to feel what it was like.

Part black. Part Irish. Part Lumbee Indian. Wholly determined to protect her family. Naomi Jackson made a mistake. Born in the tumultuous years following the American Revolution, she embraced change, excitement, and adventure. So when the Devil Bill Williams swaggered into town, she launched into his arms, determined that her love for him could overcome all obstacles. It couldn''t. Now she has two young children, a life of misery, and a hopeless, desperate desire to escape. Then David Oxendine arrives for a Christmas visit - and things will never be the same. * * * Across the River - an 1800s Black / Native American Novella is the first in a series of novellas about Naomi Jackson''s heartfelt, challenging life. These stories are based loosely on author Lisa Shea''s real-life ancestor, Naomi Jackson, who was born in 1784 in Guilford County, North Carolina. Naomi''s father had been taken from Northern Ireland as a child, while her mother was mixed-blood black, Lumbee, and Irish. Each novella has a cliff-hanger ending, much like Naomi''s life. All proceeds from the Naomi Jackson series benefits local battered women''s shelters. An important note for readers of my various series. Normally my content is quite "clean" with little to no swearing, violence, or physical intimacy. With this being based on the immense hardships my ancestor struggled through, I wanted to be authentic to the issues she rose above. This book therefore includes period-appropriate harsh language as well as several scenes of conflict. I gave a great deal of thought to including these and feel they are necessary to fully convey the trials she overcame. I apologize to those who feel uncomfortable reading that style of material. Please feel free to contact me at my website if you have any questions or comments - I thrive on your feedback.

Lisa Shea would love to not have written this book on Poison Ivy. She’d love to not know anything at all about poison ivy. Unfortunately, life had other plans for her.

Learn what causes the poison ivy rash - and how to defeat it. What techniques you should NEVER try because of the damage they could cause. What trick she absolutely does daily with her poison ivy rashes and which makes all the difference in the world. How do you identify poison ivy? What are some of the best cures?

I have owned parakeets (also called budgies or keets) since I was a tiny toddler. I have photos of my pregnant-with-me-mom''s parakeet (named Gandalf), so she owned parakeets even before I was born. Sometimes I''ve had four parakeets, sometimes just one, but in one way or another parakeets manage to wiggle their fluffy ways into my heart. This book is a compilation of my years of experience, not only with my own parakeets, but also with helping the tens of thousands of parakeet-loving visitors who come to my parakeet forum. Between the group of us we''ve probably experienced everything there is that could happen to a keet, good or bad. There is information on choosing a parakeet, feeding a parakeet, and full step by step instructions on hand training your parakeet. You can learn about parakeet activities, parakeet toys, and parakeet socialization. While the web is of course an awesome resource, often there are times that it''s simply easier to read an organized, sequential set of instructions on an e-reader. Also, it seems that web access goes down during emergency situations! Having an ebook version of those "what to do" instructions available on your e-reader has saved many a keet owner. Think of it as part of your emergency care kit for your beloved pet. If you have any questions, always feel free to email me! I''m happy to lend a hand with keets. Enjoy!

Emily is embarking on a new adventure - she''s in middle school. Unfortunately, the challenges remain the same. Nobody can pronounce her Cornish last name, Treworgy. Her mother is working all the time and her stepfather barely knows she exists. Her only escape is to lose herself in her favorite tales of King Arthur at the Whitinsville Social Library. But when she happens across a leather-bound book of Cornish poetry, her life changes forever ... * * * Cordelia is book one in the Cornish Pixie in Whitinsville short story series. This interconnected short story series follows Emily''s adventures as she explores Whitinsville, Massachusetts with a small band of magical creatures. The stories are written gently, with no violence, swearing, or other adult content. They are quite suitable for teenagers and up. I tend to write with a vocabulary which might challenge many middle-school readers, but advanced readers would enjoy the journey. Half of all proceeds from this series benefits battered women''s shelters. I would love your input as I''m writing these - it''s your suggestions which will help guide the direction the story moves in! If you prefer to read your stories complete, you are welcome to wait until the sequence is complete and then buy the box set. Either way, you support the cause! I traditionally create a boxed set for my short story series every 10 books.

I blink into awareness in a clinically clean hallway, surrounded by tangerine-garbed murderers and psychopaths. I have no idea who I am or why I''m a part of this Hell-bound group. A guard in riot gear hands me a Ruger double-action revolver. I''m told if I can make it through the no-man''s-land alive, I might have a chance at amnesty. All I have to do is trek the two-hundred-and-fifty miles north through desolate wasteland to the Gate. Alone. I could say this is the worst day of my life, but I honestly have no idea. Into the Wasteland follows one young woman''s journey through treacherous landscapes, backstabbing strangers, and lethal challenges.

Samhain. All Hallows'' Eve. The most mystical night of the year. The time when the veil between the worlds became perilously thin. And with a full moon overhead, this awesome power reaches its climactic height. Sorcha had no time for mystical nonsense - there were enough challenges in navigating the mine-field of her mother''s vicious temper and the most important event of her young life. For, at long last, she had left Edinburgh to see the world. She and her mother were visiting the elegant city of Bath. Sorcha was wearing the finest dress she''d seen - and she was stepping into a life she''d only dreamt of. But when Johnny''s eyes meet hers, and jealous rivals vow revenge, that delicate layer between what is and what once was rips. It shreds like the fragile thread of one''s life.

I have enjoyed every day of it. Low carb is not a diet of "sacrifice". My meals are rich with delicious flavors. I am always full when I finish eating. Each day I enjoy my high energy levels. Daily meals are dense in flavor and nutrients - spinach salads, mushroom omelets, tuna melts, and devilled eggs as a delicious snack. For luxurious nights out, I can relish a meal of filet mignon with asparagus. I can even enjoy homemade ice cream with ripe raspberries for dessert. Once I cut excess sugars and starches out of my diet, I found I had far more energy to enjoy life with. The rich fiber foods have helped me sleep more soundly. The omega-3 oils keep my brain’s creativity and efficiency at an all time high. I am very happy to answer any questions you might have about healthy eating. Feel free to visit my site at Lowcarb.BellaOnline.com and let me know what’s on your mind!
