My review for Goth Girl, Virgin Queen by, JoAnne Keltner

This story is a keeper!

Jackie is sadly like a lot of kids in high school, teased for being different.

Even though her issues are different I can see a lot of teens being able to relate to Jackie and understand why she hides herself from everyone.

Jackie Turov is special. But sadly due to an incident when she was younger, has made her hide her "gifts" and shield herself from everyone around her. Even one of her so called "friends" betrays her and that's when Jackie's life begins to get really interesting.

This is a great Paranormal story! It was easy to read and I really liked the main character, Jackie. This is a YA book but, as an adult, I had no problem liking it too. 

I'm hoping there is more to Jackie's story in a book two...hint hint:)

I recommend this book to anyone looking for a new YA Paranormal. 

I give Goth Girl, Virgin Queen

4 Stars!!

Calling Jackie Turov psychic makes her cringe. But Jackie’s no normal seventeen-year-old. She picks up emotions from people and objects like a freak. The emotions make her sick, and the guilt she feels for lying to her church when she was twelve causes her to deny her psychic abilities.

So Jackie goes goth to make others stay away from her and forget her past. But her past is soon resurrected when her jealous friend Trish invites a demon, a persecutor of healers, to steal away Jason’s love for Jackie. The demon causes Jackie to be bullied for the lie she told and puts her best friend, Jason, in danger.

Jackie must learn how to use her gift to protect Jason and herself and to heal the negative energies of those around her. To do so means she must overcome her guilt and accept who she is before the demon claims her soul.

JoAnne Keltner is the author of Goth Girl, Virgin Queen (Solstice Publishing, 2015) and Obsession (Musa Publishing, 2013 ed.).

Acorn Hills series by award winning novelist, Grace Augustine

Welcome to Acorn Hills!
Acorn Hills is a small, progressive city set at the foothills of the Cascade Mountain Range in the Pacific Northwest. This community is home to 35,000 amazing residents...with a few nuts mixed in for good measure. A devastating flood took out the historic downtown, but after many renovations the district is thriving today with eclectic shops and corporate offices.
Our journey begins...

Bittersweet...Book 1 
Bittersweet is the story of CEO Jake Evans, Owner of Evans Enterprises, a Fortune 500 Consulting firm and a cornerstone of Acorn Hills. Every business Jake touched turned to gold. He had everything any man could ever want, but his penchant to satisfy his own desires seemed to always get him in trouble. Not only is this story about Jake's journey, it is also about an amazingly close group of friends who have been there for each other since childhood. They grew up and went their separate ways and now in the "salt and pepper" years of their lives find themselves united once again through the businesses they've built. But more importantly they remain connected through the friendships that have transcended their lifetime.

Mystic Capers...Book 2
Growing up in the '70's was a most unique time.  This is the story of Ginger Farnsworth, cheer leading captain, dance team lead and budding chef.  Through the next forty years Ginger takes us from how her penchant for cooking turned into a unique very busy catering and pastry business and then finally to finding and marrying the first (and only) love of her life. Mystic Capers will tug at your heart strings as you remember the milestone events of your life.  Look carefully, you just may see a wee bit o' you between the lines.

Sultry Sensations...Book 3
The story of Denise Berrie, the girl from the wrong side of the tracks, will tug at every heart string in your soul. Denise's teenage struggles with self image, abuse, and abandonment carry into her young adult life in different ways. The countless adversities take their toll, that's for sure, but also make her a confident, strong business woman. Will she realize the refining from the fire made her a diamond, or will she struggle with the demons and run from success?

Holiday Hide and Seek...Book 4  
Huge surprises are in store for the gang in Acorn Hills. You won't want to miss what's happening around the holidays! So many questions will be answered. New relationships and love abound in this touching holiday novella.

Richard's Relics...Book 5
War and its remnants are cruel. Just ask Richard Dempsey, a Vietnam Vet.
Richard served his turn in Vietnam, but came home a changed man. Plagued with nightmares of the past, Richard and his friends go on a life changing trip back to modern day Saigon. Their hope...to slay the dragons that stole so much of their lives.
Each deals with his own demons. Each has life changing experiences. Each finds out the importance of friendship and family.

Holiday Promises...Book 6
Alex Halloran and Felicia Worthington were high school sweethearts. After a falling out, years passed before they ran into each other. What ensues is a magical holiday story that brings the Acorn Hills gang together.

Special Occasions...Book 7

Jillian Stevens Halloran Dempsey...Jill of most trades. This woman's life journey takes her through many trials. In Book 7, the finale of the Acorn Hills series, we find out what makes Jillian tick--her likes, dislikes, how she handles aging, and lifestyle changes. The community, friends, and family are brought together once again by a special occasion.

Available on AMAZON

Grace thinks of herself as a "Jill" of most trades and is not afraid to learn new things. "If you can't learn something new each day, there's something wrong," she says.

The ideas for her Acorn Hills series stem from her growing up years as well as the issues she has had to overcome along the way. "I've developed a new romance category...for the over 50 crowd...I'm calling it the salt and pepper genre. My books deal with real life issues, overcoming adversity, maintaining a positive outlook, and so much more. Just because we are 50 yrs old or older doesn't mean that life stops. We all still want attention and affection and adventure! We want to experience all life has to offer. We use our age as wisdom to share with those around us. We are sexual,sensual, and sensible," Grace explains.

Amazon

While horseback riding in the English countryside, sisters, Electra and Emily Crippen find themselves trapped in a tear in time. Thrown back to 1357 England and caught by a local noble, they are in a place that is home but as frightening and unfamiliar as an alien world would be. With no idea how the tear in time came about, the one thing they do know is: they must stay together and stay near to where the event took place in hopes of discovering the way back to their modern life. That certain need to stay together is the first certainty taken from them when one sister is forced to remain in England and one is sent miles away to Wales by royal order.

There is one other hope for help the sisters don’t know exists. It’s Electra’s lover, Roger Marchand. A time traveler himself, he never told her of his past. When he realizes what has happened to the sisters, he enlists the help of a scientist friend to help him open the suspected passageway through time. Any effort to save Electra and Emily will likely cost him his life. This was the time Roger came from, a time when his country, France, was at war with England. If he is discovered on English soil while searching for the sisters, he will either be killed or taken prisoner of war. Any risk is worth saving the life of the woman he loves.    Amazon

I am a graphic designer, 

I started my business in 2013. Even though it's still a baby, my experience in the Indie world is not. I was raised around artists, writers, musicians, painters, etc. 

I knew at a young age that you can do what you love, but you must work hard to keep it. 

Reading was and still is a huge part of my life.  I was six years old when I finished my first chapter book, "IT" by Stephen King. 

I don't have a favorite genre.  To me, a story can't be judged by a category, but by the way it makes me feel while reading it.  I'm a woman who loves bringing stories to life with my images, created by my "wild" imagination. 

I believe in free editing. It not only helps my business, but helps me improve my talents and helps  me learn new ways to make it even better.

I hope to do this until the day I die. It brings me great joy to help everyone that comes my way. There is nothing I won't try to do to help my fellow Indie artists. Don't ever be afraid to ask for help! It takes more than just you to get your story noticed, and when you realize that... You’re only going to go forward!

Through Fire (Portland ME #3) by Freya Barker

Violence corroded her…

Obedience defiled her…

Fear kept her chained…

Freedom is hard to embrace when she’s never learned to trust. Yet in the span of a second, she grabs a single opportunity and runs toward it. Straight into the sanctuary of a pub at the end of a wharf. 

She doesn’t understand the concept of friendship. She’s never felt the connection of a relationship. She’s as innocent as the driven snow and yet tainted with corruption. Still, she finds herself surrounded by people who accept her, without even knowing the first thing about her. But one of them is determined to dig deeper. 

He treasures his friends, yet he’s steered clear of committed relationships. He likes his life comfortably predictable and entirely controlled. Until it isn’t. For months he’s avoided interacting with The Skipper’s newest addition. Perhaps realizing that once he looked deeply into those liquid brown eyes, he wouldn’t be able to turn away. 

When his present and her past puts them both on the brink of change, they are forged through fire as one.

USA Today Bestselling Author Jennifer Theriot

Jennifer Theriot

USA Today Bestselling Author Jennifer Theriot (pronounced Terrio) hails from the Great State of Texas. She is a career woman, working as CFO of a Texas based real estate investment firm by day and does her writing at nights and on weekends. In her limited spare time, Jennifer enjoys being outdoors; preferably somewhere on a beach curled up with a good book. Spending time with family and friends, listening to music, watching a baseball game and enjoying a good bottle of wine are usually on her to-do lists. She’s mom to three grown children and ‘MiMi’ to four grandkids – all of whom she adores!

Jennifer took a chance that there could be an interest in romance with middle aged couples who are finding themselves at a crossroads and wrote her debut novel Out of the Box Awakening, which centers on the hope of finding happiness and passion through unexpected heartache. It emphasizes the need for family and friends as Jennifer has learned in her own life. Grownup romance from the other side of 30 is how she characterizes her books. The books have also been described as "Mature Sexy" by one reviewer...

Books by Jennifer Theriot

OUT OF THE BOX AWAKENING: 

Olivia is a good woman, a good mother, a good wife. She’s got it made. She doesn’t want anything to change.

Of course, it does...

Swept from her perfect paper-doll life in Houston, Olivia finds herself in Chicago, alone, betrayed, and far from home. Soon everything she thought she knew about herself and her life will be challenged. She has only courage, love, and her passion for music to carry her through the maelstrom—or draw her further in.

Ash is the man who has everything—everything except healing from the losses of a lifetime. His only peace lies in the sweet flow of music pouring from his guitar.

What happens when the married woman and the sexy handsome widower are thrown together by fate?

Out of the Box Awakening is a story about second chances, shared passion and shared joy. Jennifer Theriot has written a compelling book about what happens when two people find new life and new love for themselves and for those around them.

OUT OF THE BOX REGIFTED:

Betrayal, Lies, Loss, Hurt, Secrets....

With a new beginning on the horizon for Olivia and Ash, what could possibly stop them from finding their happily-ever-after? In the midst of joy, this blended family finds they have to trust in love and family bonds to get them through what is coming next...or self-destruct.

In order to move on, Olivia must face the haunting demons from her past life with her ex-husband. Demands and more betrayals force her to come to grips with things she can't change and try to forgive, not only those in her past, but herself as well.

Faced with his own hidden secrets, will Ash allow Olivia to stand by him? How long can he keep parts of his life hidden from those who love him?

Can Olivia gain the confidence she needs to explore the new life Ash is offering and still remain true to herself?

Follow Olivia Petersen on this next chapter of her journey as a regifted woman and watch as she discards the meek, obedient wife role and morphs into a free spirited, determined woman who commands respect from those in her life. Can she maintain the courage to seek what she needs to be free from the past, while hanging on to the future Ash offers?

OUT OF THE BOX EVERLASTING:

 Recently engaged Ash and Olivia are returning home from two romance-filled weeks abroad to tragedy and chaos.

A terrible accident in the Seattle harbor has hospitalized one of Ash’s children and skeletons are about to come out of the closet because of it. Dark secrets Ash had sworn to take with him to the grave will have to be told to get his son the treatment he needs.

As if that’s not enough, a thoughtless decision could destroy his relationship with Olivia. Forever.

While they have the love and support of family and friends, and they’ve made it through some of life’s toughest obstacles already, life just threw them a real curveball. No one is sure if their love will be strong enough to survive this one.

Burdened with feelings of betrayal and uncertainty, Olivia finds herself returning to familiar ground. On the outside, she and Ash seem like the perfect couple, but everyone has demons from their past. To work through the vestiges of these demons, she seeks the professional help of Dr. Trenda Silverman in Galveston, Texas. Hard questions will be asked. Harder answers will be realized.

Sometimes you have to go to Hell before you can get to Heaven. Follow Ash and Olivia on this emotionally poignant journey as they capture Everlasting.
