The Clear Light of Day: A Novel by Penelope Wilcock
R ecently ordained and more recently divorced, Reverend Esme Browne finds herself at an uncomfortable crossroads when stationed at the Portland Road Chapel. In addition to the seaside town, she also now bears the spiritual responsibility for two country chapels, which should be exciting, invigorating, and even hopeful. Esme, however, has forgotten how to pray and, she fears, how to feel.
A chance encounter with an eccentric pair of country gnostics may change all that, but she’ll have to be willing to juggle the demands of the church, her parishes, and a bevy of well-intended but nosy neighbors.

Unleashed (A Sydney Rye Novel, # 1) by Emily Kimelman
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Mystery Thriller & Suspense, Mystery, Hard-Boiled, Women Sleuths
A KINDLE TOP 100 BESTSELLER#1 AMAZON KINDLE BESTSELLER IN “HARD BOILED”UNLEASHED is FREE for a limited time! (3/20-3/22)
The Sydney Rye series of mysteries features a strong female protagonist and her rescue dog, Blue. This series is recommended for the 18+ who enjoy some violence, don’t mind dirty language, and are up for a dash of sex. Not to mention an awesome, rollicking good mystery!
When the series begins Sydney Rye is named Joy Humbolt. She does not like people telling her what to do, so it comes as no surprise that she was just fired from her last job. When she buys Charlene Miller’s dog-walking business on Manhattan’s exclusive upper east side, it seems like the perfect fit: Quiet environment, minimal contact with people.
But then one of her clients turns up dead, and Charlene disappears. Rumors say Charlene was having an affair with the victim–and of course, everyone assumes Joy must know where she is. Joy begins to look into the crime, first out of curiosity then out of anger when there is another murder and threats start to come her way.
When police detective Mulberry is assigned to the case, Joy finds a kindred spirit–cynical and none-too-fond of the human race. As they dig deep into the secrets of Manhattan’s elite, they not only get closer to the killer but also to a point of no return. One last murder sends Joy Humbolt hurtling over the edge. Her only chance of survival is to become Sydney Rye.
UNLEASHED is the first book in Emily Kimelman’s best selling Sydney Rye series of dark murder mysteries. DEATH IN THE DARK (A Sydney Rye Novella, #2) and INSATIABLE (A Sydney Rye Novel, #3) are both available in the Kindle Store.

Successfully Selling Your Home by Sissy Lappin
Genre(s): Business & Investing, Real Estate, Buying & Selling Homes, Industries & Professions
O ver the past ten years, I have seen a dramatic narrowing of the gap in knowledge between homebuyers, sellers, and agents. Buyers are now very educated, using websites like Trulia and Zillow to house hunt from the comfort of their own space. HGTV, to which I will admit my own addiction, has buyers searching for their dream homes online between meals. While this is great publicity for the real estate industry, it does not translate into easy sales. I remember the days when potential homebuyers were limited to the handful of options presented to them by a real estate agent. Now, they can virtually tour millions of houses with a few simple clicks! Imagine selling your home in a landscape where it must compete with thousands of properties in your area rather than a selection of homes chosen by an agent. This means sellers have to step up their game.
Successfully Selling Your Home is like a self-help guide for anyone, homeowner or real estate agent alike, that is trying to sell a house. Nearly every one of us, sometime in our life, will have to go through the home selling process. Many of us will opt to rely on the know-how of a professional agent. I have learned over 28 years of real estate experience that it is simply not enough to turn over your house keys to an agent and expect a check one week later well above your asking price. That may happen occasionally in dreams, but rarely in reality. As the real estate industry evolves, so do the techniques for selling a home. There is a growing incentive for homeowners to be active participants in the selling process.
I wrote this book to give sellers and agents a quick education on what is happening in today’s real estate market, so they can maximize their value and work together efficiently and effectively. It is a partnership that, if treated as such, can add value to any home.

Fire & Ice (Icefire Trilogy) by Patty Jansen
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Science Fiction & Fantasy, Fantasy, Epic
Deep under the City of Glass in the frozen southern land, an age-old machine called the Heart of the City radiates a power which locals call icefire. Most citizens are immune to it, but a few, always born with physical disabilities, can bend it to their will. For fifty years, the ruling Eagle Knights, who fly on the back of giant birds, have killed these Imperfects, fearing the return of the old royal family, who used icefire to cut out people’s hearts, turning them into ghostly servitors.
The old king’s grandson Tandor only sees the good things icefire brought: power and technology now forgotten while the people of the south live in dire poverty. He’s had enough of seeing his fellow kinsfolk slaughtered by ignorant Knights, of Imperfect babies being abandoned on the ice floes to be eaten by wild animals. His grandfather’s diary tells him how to increase the beat of the Heart the first step to making the land glorious once more. Arrogant as he is, he sets the machine in motion. All he needs is an army of Imperfect servitors to control the resulting power.
Isandor is Imperfect, an ex-Knight apprentice, betrayed by his best friend and running for his life.
The queen Jevaithi is Imperfect, living like a prisoner amidst leering Knights, surviving only because the common people would rebel if their beloved queen were harmed.
Both are young and desperate and should be grateful that Tandor wants to rescue them from their hopeless situations. Or so he thinks. The youngsters, however, have no inclination to become heartless ghosts, but while they defy Tandor, the Heart beats, and he alone cannot control its power.
