Here's the set-up:
Romance, humor, family drama, with a touch of Buddhism. Sound interesting?
When approaching life's problems, Sophie sees in black and white. That is, when they're someone else's problems. So when it comes to her sister, Sophie is sure she has all the answers, and offers them without hesitation. If only her sister would listen.

Then, through a series of chance encounters, she meets Sam, who is witty, kind, and downright unflappable. Sophie has the overwhelming sense that she's known him before, and as a relationship builds between them, odd visions invade her mind. Though she tries to dismiss them, their persistence will not allow it.

As someone who is quick to judge others, she is intrigued by Sam's ability to accept people as they are. She begins to see him as a role model, but try as she may, his accepting nature is difficult to emulate.

Will Sophie ever be able to put her hasty judgments aside and realize not every problem has a simple solution?
One Reviewer Notes:
Somewhere Between Black and White is a nice change of pace book and a realistic slice of life on the romantic end of the spectrum. Whether its teaching in the classroom or living life in Las Vegas, the storyline moves along, as Sophie, the main character in the novel,wrestles with her own inner problems. Eventually she meets Sam - steady as a rock - a man she feels she shares a deeper meaning in life with and can't shake the feeling of an inner deja vu. While the story bogs down at times, the pacing is good and the romance is real, and at times, such as the classroom scenes, shows the humorous side of life, all the while solving the inner turmoils surrounding Sophie's life. A great read!

Phil Jourdan’s Memoir, Praise of Motherhood, is Now Just 99 Cents – Don’t Miss This Touching Tribute to a Lost Mother, Written by a Son Whose Troubled Adolescence Landed Him in Psychiatric Wards

“Praise for Motherhood” is a brutally honest, touching, and gut-wrenching story about love, loss, family and, possibly, forgiveness” –Richard Thomas, author of Transubstantiate

Praise of Motherhood

by Phil Jourdan

4.7 stars – 36 Reviews
Text-to-Speech: Enabled

Here’s the set-up:

When Phil Jourdan’s mother died suddenly in 2009, she left behind a legacy of kindness and charity — but she also left unanswered some troubling questions. Was she, as she once claimed, a spy? Had she suffered more profoundly as a woman and parent than she’d let on? Jourdan’s recollections of his struggles with psychosis, and his reconstructions of conversations with his enigmatic mother, form the core of this memoir. Psychoanalysis, poetry and confession all merge to tell the story of an ordinary woman whose death turned her into a symbol for extraordinary motherhood.

Reviews

“This is a beautiful meditation, simultaneously subtle and powerfully direct, on the depth of emotion between a mother and son. Jourdan’s words come back to me long after I’ve finished the book. Moments of this memoir leave me haunted, and in that way renew my devotion to fragile lives, which is to say all of us, all so human, and to life as wild and fleeting.” –Monica Drake, author of Clown Girl

“Jourdan’s soul-baring is an emotional inspiration. The author’s feelings come across beautifully, and his story is both surprisingly candid and sad. Very relatable and raw, intellectual and heartfelt, but certainly not an easy read for anyone who has suffered a recent loss.” — Clarion Review, 5/5

“Early on in the book, Jourdan writes, ‘Everyone, even in his profoundest hatred, loves his mother’. So whatever his stated reasons for writing Praise of Motherhood, the end result still feels like an incredible act of generosity on his part, affording the reader the privilege of briefly encountering Sofia, this woman who ‘was Love manifest’.” — The Cadaverine

About The Author

Phil Jourdan is an author, musician, translator and columnist from Portugal living in the UK.

In 2007 he formed the lit-rock band, Paris and the Hiltons. Their latest album, Reading Journals, is based on the work of William Faulkner, of which Jourdan is a big, big, big fan.

His memoir, Praise of Motherhood, revolves around the hardships his late mother endured in trying to cope with her aggressive adolescent son.

He recently launched Perfect Edge Books, a publishing imprint.

Kindle Daily Deals For Monday, Apr. 8 – New Bestsellers All Priced at $1.99 or Less! plus CLUTCH (I Am Just Junco #1) by J.A. Huss

But first, a word from … Today’s Sponsor

4.1 stars – 41 Reviews
Text-to-Speech: Enabled
Here’s the set-up:

How long can you lie to yourself before it all comes apart?

In 2152 the avian race is on Earth looking for something stolen from them decades ago – their genetics. At the center of the search lies the Rural Republic; a small backwards farming country with high hopes of military domination and a penchant for illegal bioengineering.

19 year old Junco Coot is the daughter of the Rural Republic’s ranking commander. She’s the most foul-mouthed, wildly unpredictable and ruthless sniper the Rural Republic has ever trained. But when her father’s death sparks a trip into forbidden places, she triggers events that will change everything she knows to be true.

As an elite avian military officer, Tier’s mission is to destroy the bioengineering projects, kill Commander Coot’s daughter, and return home immediately. There’s just one problem. Junco isn’t who she claims to be.

With no one to trust, not even herself, Junco must confront the secrets of her past and accept her place in the future, or risk losing herself completely.

CONTENT WARNING – The I Am Just Junco series is NOT young adult and contains A LOT of bad language.

5-Star Amazon Reviews

“Very imaginative. Well thought out plot and characters are well developed. I enjoyed this book from start to the end. I’ll be looking to read the next two in the series….”

“Clutch by J.A. Huss is amazing, it had me at the edge of my seat on what was going to happen next. Cant wait for the next book”

“The twists and turns of the plot from Los Angeles back to Turkey and on to Canada move with a fast pace… extraordinary characters and wonderful dialogue. I found this book very entertaining, sometimes sad and poignant, sometimes extremely funny.”
