“About More than a Reflection:

What’s a girl to do when chocolate is awesome, but working out … not so much? Why fall in love of course!

Holly Davenport is great at finding beauty in the flowers she’s surrounded with day by day, but seeing the beauty within herself proves much more challenging. With men not willing to see her as anything more than a friend, she’s given up on ever finding someone who might love her just as she is – all 215 pounds of her.
Blake Anderson’s timing is perfect, albeit slightly embarrassing when he is witness to Holly’s most embarrassing moment: a kiss to her not-so-pregnant belly in a very public encounter. Will
Blake, along with his family and some new friends, be able to teach Holly that there’s more to life than what she sees in the mirror?

“About A Life Stage Soundcheck:

What is Carla doing?

Carla Cafaro is going to work as a debt collector. Carla Cafaro is doodling mindless lyrics in her notebook. Carla Cafaro is killing time with her friends, Summer and Jas. Carla Cafaro passes out in her studio apartment every night, wakes up the next morning, and continues to sleep walk through life.

While chasing after people for money they don’t have isn’t exactly her passion, it pays the bills. Besides, it’s been a while since she’s been able to do what she once loved- put her pen to paper and write a song. Out of inspiration, this all changes when Nico enters the picture. The presence of one person forces Carla to reexamine her life, the things she had thought she loved, and the sacrifices that she had once made.

Carla has been waiting. Waiting for a career, waiting for love, waiting for her passion to come alive. Nico isn’t perfect, but for the first time in ages, Carla feels something strong enough to write about. Though fearing the romantic mistakes of her past, Carla face-plants forward despite what her gut instincts tell her.

“About Sunflower Signs Part I:

In our darkest hour, can a deceased love offer guidance?

Emily Mason has never been able to escape the grief she feels over the death of her childhood love and hero, Danny – though it’s been almost nine years since he passed away. She will sometimes even sleep on his grave for comfort. She can’t seem to do anything right in the eyes of her husband, Scott – who reprimands Emily about everything from her messy hand-writing, to singing Christmas songs outside of the month of December, to her inability to bring home enough groceries in her bike basket. She depends on her reluctantly psychic older sister, Ericka, to always come to her rescue when she is in peril – which is often. Her fears are many – she’s terrified of people dressed in costumes, thunderstorms, and she refuses to drive a car. Just when Emily’s life begins to completely unravel, Danny leaves her a sign that can’t be ignored. Emily is faced with making a decision that will take her far away from the security of her sister’s care, and the comfort of being near Danny’s final resting place.

Sunflowers Signs is a quirky, funny, and emotional three-part series about love, family, and the connections we keep with those who have passed over to the other side.

“About Minx:

NEW RELEASE!! A romantic comedy about friendships, flirtations, and the elusive “Fantasm!”

Hi! I’m Miranda Blake and this is my story. Well, sort of. It’s more like a twisted fairytale, if you believe in them. Except there’s no beautiful, young princess with perky breasts, perfectly coiffed hair and a sassy attitude. I’m closing in on fifty, thirty pounds overweight according to Weight Watchers, and, after nursing two kids and that bitch, gravity, doing her job, I’m lucky the ladies don’t hit my knees. The gorgeous brown mane of hair is slightly frizzy from my ridiculous attempts to recapture my youth by dyeing the hell out of it. As for sassy attitude, well, it wasn’t so long ago that I was a doormat. And the charming prince who sweeps me off my feet into the life of my dreams? I have a dog called Prince, German Shepherd, who knocks me on my ass if I’m in the way when the doorbell rings. Does that count?

“About Autism Grows Up:

Autism affect 1 in 49 children but they don’t stay kids – they grow up and the challenges are different.

At twenty-one, Suzie has withdrawn from a world she finds alien and confusing. Ability is not the problem, nor is interest – many things fascinate her. But, she has Asperger’s Syndrome and high anxiety. To her, the world is a harsh, scary place where she does not fit. She spends much of her day sleeping and most of her nights on the computer. Her mother, Amanda, wishes Suzie would get a job, go to school or at least help out around the house. Suzie feels that her time is amply filled with the compelling world lurking within her computer.Amanda has two full time jobs – one involves working at the office every day, the second involves looking after Suzie.

Amanda wants more for Suze, but does not know how to help her move forward. When she tries putting pressure on her, Suzie suffers from paralyzing anxiety, resulting in morose withdrawal or worse, lengthy tantrums. Suzie is most content when alone in the basement with her computer. Staring at her monitor, the rest of the world falls away and she feels at home.

Amanda is torn. She met this gentleman, Jack. It would be nice to spend time with someone other than her brother and daughter but Suzie wouldn’t like it and she needs her mother desperately. Amanda’s brother asks uncomfortable questions like what will become of Suzie if something happens to Amanda. Jack gently persists and Amanda glimpses what her life could be like.

Suzie resents the time her mom spends with Jack and makes her mother pay for the hours not devoted to her daughter. Then, they have a home invasion. When an intruder breaks into the house, Amanda has only Suzie to rely on.

Featured Post: Florida Fiction Series by PC Zick

Leave a Comment

“About Florida Fiction Series:

Florida Fiction Series Box Set
Three full-length novels filled with love, intrigue, murder, and mayhem in wild and wacky Florida
Tortoise Stew, Trails in the Sand, Native Lands follow the outrageous happenings in the Sunshine State when it comes to developing and destroying precious natural resources. Love and romance mingle with bits of environmental truths in these three contemporary novels.

˃˃˃ Tortoise Stew – Politics, murder, and chaos in rural Florida
“. . .a hugely entertaining book about local politics, corruption, environmentalist and journalism in a small fictitious town in Florida.” -Christoph Fischer Books

Often compared to the novels of Carl Hiassen, Tortoise Stew exposes the quest to destory the landscape of rural Florida. Small town politics take center stage in this novel about the development of Florida at any cost. Kelly Sands is a reporter covering some of the more controversial and contentious issues in the fictional north Florida town of Calloway. Dead armadillos and gopher tortoise carcasses are left as calling cards to those opposing the development as commission meetings erupt into all-out warfare. With the murder of one commissioner and the suicide of his wife, Kelly begins an investigation that threatens to topple the carefully laid plans of the developers and politicians to bring a movie studio and landing strip within the city limits of the small town. When a young girl is killed by a semi-truck from Monster Mart, the environmentalists become even more vocal against the developers’ plans. Chaos reigns as both sides raise voices and fists in one cacophonous uproar until saner heads bring justice to all.

˃˃˃ Trails in the Sand – Family secrets, an oil spill, and redemption
“Trails in the Sand is a southern drama on the scale of Anne Rivers Siddons.” Amazon review

When environmental writer Caroline Carlisle sets off to report on endangered sea turtles during the BP oil spill in 2010, the last thing she expects is to do is uncover family secrets. The long-kept secrets threaten to destroy her family, unless she can heal the hurts from a lifetime of lies.

To make matters worse, Caroline’s love for her late sister’s husband, Simon, creates an uproar in a southern family already set on a collision course with its past.

Trails in the Sand is set on Florida’s panhandle and the east coast near St. Augustine. Florida’s Panhandle beaches, including St. George Island, off the coast near Apalachicola in the Gulf of Mexico, are home to hundreds of sea turtle nests each summer. When the oil spill threatens to come ashore on Florida’s Panhandle beaches, conservationists and wildlife managers join together in an historic effort to save the sea turtle eggs by moving them across the state to Cape Canaveral. As the oil from BP’s oil spill continues to spew forth into the Gulf of Mexico, urgency to save Florida wildlife mounts. It’s in this atmosphere that Caroline discovers the truth about her family as she writes stories about the rescue of the eggs.

˃˃˃ Native Lands – Nature and love disrupted always find a way back
“Native Lands by P.C. Zick is a wonderful novel and a gripping thriller at the same time. Handling several plot lines and many characters with ease, Zick has a story rich in plot and full of fabulous characters.” Amazon review

When their environment is torn apart by a conglomerate of international interests, a tribe of native Floridians thought to be extinct rise up and form their own oddly matched conglomerate, and with the assistance of nature, attempt to halt the destruction of the natural world they treasure. Cultural boundaries established centuries ago are erased as love and nature seek the balance lost in the battle for power and control of the last of the Florida frontier.
