Compelled to track down her estranged mother, Maya disguises her true identity and secures a volunteer job at the refugee camp. With the help of a Tibetan lama, Maya confronts her long-suppressed feelings of abandonment and her fear of accepting Maggie into her life.

Featured Book: The Witness by Jordan Standridge

“Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, ‘WOW—what a ride!’” ~Hunter S. Thompson

This has been a quote and sentiment I’ve lived by for nearly three decades now. And to complement it, my lifelong core belief is simple: “How is one to know what they are good at, what they like or don’t like, or what they can do, if they never try and do it?” So I go out and do it.

Having these two main thoughts taking up space in my head has led me on many interesting paths all across North America from central Mexico to Alaska, Maine to Washington, and a few places in Canada… and even into the oceans. Now I’m writing about my real-life experiences while weaving in some fiction so I don’t get sued.

Heavily influenced and intrigued by reading Louis L’Amour growing up, I’ve held dozens of jobs in numerous career fields—on purpose. I’ve held top positions and won numerous awards in a variety of fields over the years as I take pride in my work and have integrity. I’ve worked for years in management, sales, marketing, restaurants, retail, tourism, animal rescue and rehab.

I’m an author, artist, photographer, proofreader, editor, and traveler. I’ve also worked as a dispatcher in law enforcement, and as a bona fide cowgirl in Arizona. I began riding horses at age 4 and have decades working with horses in about every capacity. I’m an absolute animal lover, both wild and domestic.

In the support of others, I’ve been a volunteer and supporter for numerous charities for decades. While my main focus is on protecting all animals and the environment, I’ve been a longtime supporter with Operation Gratitude. (Give them a look… they’re fully legit! I’ve got over 10 years with them!) Giving back is important no matter who it is.

While not on social media, I’d still love and appreciate hearing (positive things) from you! Please send me a note via my website and brighten my day. And while you’re on my website, be sure to subscribe to my newsletter- Join the Family. Of course, online reviews are incredibly appreciated (and needed!) as well. If you like or love my stories, please leave a review telling me why. If you didn’t, you’re excused from class! 🙂

Happy trails,

Jordan

Featured Book: Totally Opposite by Nellie Holloday

Hi I’m Nellie Holloday and I enjoy sweet and clean love stories with humor and heart. I love to write stories that stand up for the values I hold dear and put a smile on your face. I believe a good story can be told without including things some of us find uncomfortable and unecessary to make a story enjoyable. I love animals, gardening and working out. I am the proud mother of 6 children.

Featured Book: Crown of Ruin by Grace Yarrow

Dark Romantasy Author | Lover of Gothic Decay & Forbidden Kisses

Grace Yarrow writes hauntingly romantic tales where love is a blade, shadows whisper secrets, and every crown comes with a curse. When she isn’t wandering mist-shrouded manors in her imagination, she can be found sipping black tea with too much honey, collecting antique keys (just in case one opens a portal), and arguing with her cat about whether haunted libraries need ghosts to be interesting.

Her stories are for those who crave love stories drenched in moonlight and danger—where the monsters are just as likely to steal your heart as your soul.

Currently residing in a creaky old house that may or may not be sentient.
