New York reporter Paige MacKenzie has a hidden motive when she heads to the small town of Timberton, Montana. Assigned to research the area’s unique Yogo sapphires for the Manhattan Post, she hopes to reconnect romantically with handsome cowboy Jake Norris.

Each of the town’s residents holds a key to untangling more than one long-buried secret, from the hippie chick owner of a new age café to the mute homeless man in the town park. As the worlds of western art and sapphire mining collide, Paige finds herself juggling research, romance and danger.

Category: Humor
Here is the book’s description from the Amazon website:
The beauty of children is in the magic they see everywhere; the beauty of parenthood is seeing it with them. “Savvy Stories” is a hilarious and heartwarming look at childhood’s lost, magical moments, viewed through the heart of a father. Crawling, walking, play dates, hopscotch, hibiscuses, potty training, princess dresses, gymnastics classes… and Baby Dolphins – The whole wide world of her questions and his answers.
Imagine a hospital room where a woman is about to give birth: nurses are hurriedly coming and going, machines are going beep, beep, beep, a doctor checks the dilation; and over in the corner some idiot is posting about it on Facebook like he is doing a play-by-play.
That idiot would be me.
The soon-to-be, first-time Dad.
Posting on Facebook from the delivery room? Hey, there wasn’t much else for me to be doing at the time, and we had created quite a Facebook following – accidentally – about this oncoming birth. And the little baby girl that was about to arrive was going to change my life in so many ways, but I just had no idea at the time. No idea. What first time dad does?
This was even more the case with me: I was 46 years old and about to become a dad for the first time in my life.
By that age, you have a lot of things pretty much set in your life. I never expected baby stuff all over the place with a newborn. They can’t really do much, right? How much stuff do they need? Within days of bringing that kid home from the hospital, it was everywhere – and my wife and I keep a pretty tidy home. The kid was born at the end of March and by the end of the first week of April there was baby stuff in every single room of the house. It was amazing. I think the kid was planning on taking over the whole time.

But when Henry of Bolingbroke usurps the throne of England from his cousin Richard II, that tranquility is forever shattered. What starts as a feud with a neighboring English lord over a strip of land evolves into something greater–a fight for the very independence of Wales.
After a harrowing encounter on the misty slopes of Cadair Idris, the English knight Harry Hotspur offers Owain a pact he cannot resist.
Peace, however, comes with a heavy price. As tragedies mount and temptations loom, Owain questions whether he can fulfill the prophecies and lead his people to freedom without destroying those around him.
For centuries, the bards have sung of King Arthur’s return, but is this reluctant warrior prince the answer to those prophecies?

Category: Romantic Comedy
Here is the book’s description from the Amazon website:
Quirky, funny and occasionally poignant, ‘An Officer and a Gentleman Wanted’ is a very British romantic comedy written as a light-hearted diary with a dash of Bridget Jones meets the Navy…
Beverley Wilkins has always dreamed of becoming an officer’s wife and working at the Royal Navy’s premier officer training establishment could just be the way to do it. She might be divorced and in her mid 40s, but it doesn’t mean she’s given up on romance – after all, she’s seen ‘An Officer and a Gentleman’!
The only problem is that so far, the only man in her life is her dog Nelson who unfortunately has a mind of his own – not for nothing is he named after Britain’s greatest hero.
But it’s a new semester which means new officers…
Anything could happen!
