About Featured Book: Sisters In Cold Blood by Kay A Oliver

Keri Shaw discovers a confession letter dated 1909 written by a serial killer who is already dead and was never charged with a single crime. The letter holds clues to where the bodies may be buried but they need to figure out this puzzle first by following the twisted path laid out by a ruthless killer years before.

What Keri and her husband, Jade, did not account for was Detective Alison Valencia, ties the serial killer had with another famous killer, and the shadowy figure that is following their every move.

Will Keri and her husband find the serial killer's dumpsite and prove the letter is real or become his last prey?

Shawna Thomas is indigenous, and her people suffered First Contact twice. First there were the European Settlers. Now it’s the Occupation Force of the Pangalactic Empire. They’ve imposed an acclimatization policy on Earth, and made it a tributary of the Empire.

Shawna’s public in depth reading of imperial edicts are mistaken for adulation of the Empire. She’s invited to the main graduation ceremony of the first cohort of the Imperial Curriculum. It could be her greatest chance for subversion if she doesn’t get co-opted.

About Featured Book: Spitting Image by Harmony Reed

What if you had a twin – who was a better version of you?

All he has left is a failing cafe, a rattletrap car, and an ex-wife he can’t stop fighting with. Bereft of family, he hires a private investigator to track down his biological parents. He’s not surprised to learn that they’re dead, but he’s shocked to discover that he has a twin brother, alive and well in Austin, Texas. The similarities between Everett and his brother Evan are amazing. They’re both chefs, they both married aspiring musicians, and they’re both fathers – evidence of their deep twin bond. But the more Everett learns more about his brother, the more he feels like he’s looking at the life he should have had – would have had if they hadn’t been separated.

It’s embarrassing how Evan seems to be more successful than Everett in every possible way. His friends tell him to start with a phone call, but Everett decides to drive to Austin and surprise Evan on their shared birthday. After all, what better gift could a man receive than to be reunited with his long-lost twin brother?

About Blown:

She can pay with her life … or she can pay with her crimes.

Alison Tanner thought she was living her best life. Her husband’s seven-figure consulting business earned them entry into the country club crowd and paid for her gifted daughter’s tuition at the best private school in the area. She lives in a gorgeous house, drives an expensive car, and she could afford designer clothes, if she cared about fashion at all.

But when her husband, Tom, is killed in a gang-related shooting, it all comes crashing down. Tom’s consulting agency was just a front for his real business: keeping their wealthy neighbors supplied with cocaine, oxycontin, and every other illegal drug money can buy. Tom died owing the local drug lord a lot of money — and now Alison’s on the hook.

Worse, unscrupulous DEA Agent Banks wants her to be his informant in a sting operation and doesn’t care if she survives, as long as he gets his man.

Desperate to protect her daughter from both a vengeful mother-in-law who wants custody and a drug lord who wants her daughter to work off Tom’s debts in the streets, Alison agrees to go undercover, wearing a wire as she sells drugs to her snobby neighbors and learns more about the drug lord’s operation.

If she ever gets out of this, she vows she’ll take her daughter and disappear forever — but her chances of surviving are getting worse by the minute. Does she have a shot at ever living a normal life again, or is everything blown?

Blown is an intense new stand-alone crime thriller from Nolon King, author of Pretty Killer, 12, and the No Justice series. Fans of Ozark and Weeds will love Blown. Get your copy today.

About Featured Book: Portraits as Childfree Wealth: 26 stories about how being Childfree impacts your life, wealth, and finances. by Jay Zigmont, PhD, CFP®

Have you ever wondered what people without children do with all their free time and money? Do you assume that they must have a lot of both? The truth is more complex than that! Childfree people come from as many different backgrounds and life circumstances as people with children do. Some are partnered, and some are not. Some are well-educated, some aren’t. Some are independently wealthy, and some are just scraping by. Dr. Zigmont’s “Portraits of Childfree Wealth” is a collection of 26 vignettes based on interviews with Childfree people. He adds his own significant insights, as both a fellow Childfree professional and a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™. This book is an eye-opening look at the lives of people in the United States who deliberately chose not to become parents, and if you’re in the same boat, you’ll find a lot to relate to here. If you have children, you’ll learn how the other half lives. And if you’re a finance professional, you’ll see how money still plays a role for people who don’t have to worry about leaving assets to their children.

In Portraits of Childfree Wealth, Dr. Jay Zigmont, CFP®, interviews 26 individuals and couples to understand their lives. Each portrait provides a different perspective on Childfree Wealth from a diverse population across the US. There are stories from people who are barely making ends meet and others who have achieved FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) or FILE (Financial Independence, Live Early). Being Childfree does not automatically make people rich, as we still suffer from income disparities. The difference is that if a Childfree person is barely making ends meet now, they would have drowned if they had a child.

Some key findings:

• The reasons for being Childfree are as varied as the people themselves.
• There are very few or no regrets from people being Childfree.

• Being Childfree does not automatically make you rich.

• There is a relationship between growing up in poverty and poor and being Childfree.
• Childfree Financial Independence is simple: 1. Get out of debt 2. Max out retirement plans.

About PLAYHOUSES:

Three cousins fiercely defended their roles within the sanctity of their playhouses. But a six-year stint in a fundamentalist religious organization thwarted Scott’s understanding of sexual orientation. Homosexuality was an insidious, infective spirit that conferred fear upon her adolescent naivete, eventually eroding relations between the cousins.
“Reconciling who we were took years, but survival led to relational ties without fear and a heart for activism in the face of rising institutionalized discrimination. ” PLAYHOUSES is a journey from corrosive indoctrination to celebrating the difference in others.

Leave a Comment

About The Godma’s Daughters:

The Godma’s Daughters is the memoir of a time traveler — it is a love story, a shaggy burro saga, a tale of border crossings, a PaperClan tale. Part Maya myth, part hipster stream-of-modern-day-life, part love letter to this beleaguered planet. It is a tale of two cities, one a dusty Texas border town, one a dazzling ancient Maya metropolis. With unforgettable characters — including a charming burro named Pants-on-Fire, two pairs of young lovers, an angry goddess, playground bullies, an evil queen, and dueling shamans.
Two cousins, Mocheela and Liliana, living on the Texas Mexico border (one a rough-hewn outsider, one a hotshot insider) are being raised by their grandmother who grooms them, story by story, to believe the impossible — that their accidental meeting of Junio and Zack on a Trescabras playground was no accident and that their love stories are playing out in another, more dangerous world.
Travel with the cousins and their boyfriends to the heart of a Maya mystery. Deep in a Yucatan jungle, there is a God-haunted pool waiting for a heroine to dive into its waters and enter the past to remake the future.

About Featured Book: Uprooted: Family Trauma, Unknown Origins, and the Secretive History of Artificial Insemination by Peter J. Boni

Only $0.99 for a limited time! 5/23/22 thru 6/6/22.

How a journey of self-discovery unearthed the scandalous evolution of artificial insemination

By his forties, Peter J. Boni was an accomplished CEO, with a specialty in navigating high-tech companies out of hot water. Just before his fiftieth birthday, Peter’s seventy-five-year-old mother unveiled a bombshell: His deceased father was not his biological father. Peter was conceived in 1945 via an anonymous sperm donor. The emotional upheaval upon learning that he was “misattributed” rekindled traumas long past and fueled his relentless research to find his genealogy. Over two decades, he gained an encyclopedic knowledge of the scientific, legal, and sociological history of reproductive technology as well as its practices, advances, and consequences. Through twenty-first century DNA analysis, Peter finally quenched his thirst for his origin.

In Uprooted, Peter J. Boni intimately shares his personal odyssey and acquired expertise to spotlight the free market methods of gamete distribution that conceives dozens, sometimes hundreds, of unknowing half-siblings from a single donor. This thought-provoking book reveals the inner workings—and secrets—of the multibillion-dollar fertility industry, resulting in a richly detailed account of an ethical aspect of reproductive science that, until now, has not been so thoroughly explored.
