How can you set yourself free when you're Tangled in Time?

Tangled in Time by [Longley, Barbara]
Reagan McCarthy wants to stop seeing ghosts, not get romantically involved with one! Even the best laid plans can go astray...

Regan MacCarthy’s ability to see ghosts is a gift inherited from her Irish ancestors, but it’s one she’d dearly like to give back. In an attempt to return her powers to their source, she travels to Ireland to harness the ancient magic that still permeates the mystical site of Newgrange. Instead, something far more unexpected awaits her: a strapping, gorgeous stranger who insists he’s a centuries-old Celtic warrior.
Fáelán was one of Fionn MacCumhaill’s elite soldiers before being cursed by a resentful fae princess. The only way to free himself is to fall so deeply in love that he’d sacrifice his life. Not an easy matter when he’s invisible to most. Yet Regan sees him—not just the proud, handsome warrior on the surface, but the complex man beneath. Only when it’s too late does Fáelán realize that drawing this beautiful mortal into his world has endangered them both, and may destroy the happiness he’s waited an eternity to claim…

Fantastic Tales in the Second Person - A Podcast you'll never forget! AND it will make you laugh!


Fantastic Tales in the Second Person!

Steve Gadlin of I Want to Draw a Cat for You fame has always been extremely funny and original.
http://iwanttodrawacatforyou.com/   His sales pitch went down in Shark Tank history!
Now he's getting into podcasts in the second person singular and plural! You don't just hear about someone else living inside of a TV set - you do it! You don't live through a character to experience jumping out of an airplane - you do it! And being the non-conformist that he is, episode two is on top of episode one. Why not? This is no time to be anal.

Oh and by the way, besides his cat drawing business, Steve has moved into a new species. Selling raccoon.....um... raccoon...boy part bones...oh, Hell, I'll spit it out...raccoon penis bones in little plastic tubes. Anyway, if you know about Steve and think he's squirrely, this video takes the cake! Steves's unorthodox new venture.

How can you not want to read about a Gaijin Cowgirl?

Gaijin Cowgirl

When I saw the title Gaijin Cowgirl, I wasn't expecting this character to be a Congressman's daughter. The unexpected, along with danger and intrigue all come with this Asian Noir.

Read more: 

Working Tokyo nightclubs is easy money for beautiful and troubled American Val Benson – until a wealthy client with a dark past – reluctantly gives up a map to a stash of Japanese war loot and tempts his favourite girl into a dangerous treasure hunt.

But the Congressman’s daughter is not the only one interested in the map: Yakuza, bent cops, human traffickers, rogue CIA agents and her father are hot on her trail, snapping at her high heels.
So begins the dark, epic journey of a new anti-hero of Asian Noir, a protagonist both ambiguous and courageous, and utterly unreliable. From comfort women and tomb-raiding in Japanese-occupied Burma to the murderous echoes of the Vietnam War, long forgotten crimes come roaring back to life, as Val leaves a trail of destruction and chaos in her wake.

Together with her best friend, the equally unreliable nightclub hostess Suki, a British kickboxer and a washed up Australian treasure hunter, Val travels through Tokyo, Hong Kong and Bangkok to the Thai-Burmese borderlands for a dramatic showdown with her pursuers. Finding the treasure before someone less deserving does is her only hope for survival, and perhaps redemption.

Entering the Gifted Zone - A series of books for your bright young star!


Being a gifted child is a double-edged sword. Yes, you get good grades and praise from your teacher, but you don't fit in because you get the answers right all the time. And then, you get bored in class. What can parents do to help nurture the intellectually gifted nature of their children despite the social pressure to run with the crowd?

Take your kids to the Gifted Kid Zone with a unique series of books designed to keep their gifted minds bright and sharp.There is also a section to help nurture the parents!  Here is an open letter to parents from author Gloria Von Donge.

Dear Parent,          
Giftedness?
Is it weird or wonderful?
Is it frustrating or fulfilling?
Is it worth treasuring?                            
If only I had asked these questions when our daughter was small!

 My series of 5 books is especially written to affirm gifted children.  It is multi-layered and designed to grow with the child. Each book tells the tale of a young cheetah cub who has been assigned one area of giftedness. The cubs explore their world by playing games. These are simple, clear stories; but the implications are considerably more complex. 

The second section, Children’s Choice, extends the ideas behind the storyline and develops activities to engage the children and stimulate their creativity.

The third section is written for adults. The Parents’ Pages explain the purpose of the story by drawing attention to some of the ways gifted children think. There are points to ponder under the headings, Think Time and Target Thoughts. Talk Together lists a number of questions designed to generate discussion that can go on and on and on. 

The final page, Family Tree, distinguishes each of the cheetah cubs by highlighting their area of giftedness and their trademark.

The cubs will not stay young for long. It is anticipated that a second series will capture a snapshot of their growth. How will they develop? What lessons will they learn? Where will their creativity take them next?

#Free on #AmazonKindle - The Angels are Here, Paradox Series Book 1.

Product Details

If an angel appears before you, do you know for sure if it's an angel of light? Sometimes it isn't that obvious.

Since the Time Before Time, angelic races, good and evil, have existed. Unseen by the untrained eye, they moved silently through creation.

In an ancient kingdom, the battle between good and evil ensued, and within time, the battle lines expanded into new frontiers - a New World called Earth.

When the first angels fell, the original vampires, they quickly establish positions in the New World. The humans, unaware of the existence of these bloodthirsty beings, had no inclination that their world was about to change forever. Renowned for being the hunter, the human race quickly became the hunted.

As the vampires dominance spread throughout the world, threatening to engulf all humanity, a race of guardian angels soon followed, not only to protect their own from harm's way but to ensure the survival of the human race.

A young girl, Grace Connors, who unknowingly held the past and the future in the palm of her hand, had no idea of the role she was about to play in saving the human race. 

Besides the Paradox Series, Patti Roberts has written many other books, including the Witchwood Estate Series. Check out her Amazon page here: Patti Roberts Amazon page
