Here’s the set-up:

* First published by Vicki Hinze writing as Victoria Cole in 1993. Two time Maggie Award of Excellence Finalist.*

SHE KNOWS A CHILD’S LIFE IS IN DANGER BUT NO ONE BELIEVES HER.

HE KNOWS SHE’S A FRAUD AND IS OUT TO PROVE IT.

THEY SEEK THE TRUTH AND DISCOVER THE TRUTH CAN SET YOU FREE . . . OR KILL YOU

Caron Chalmers is an empath. A mind reader cursed with imaging only victims. She sees what they see, feels what they feel, endures what they endure and has since she was seven. But even with all the sensory perception and insights, sometimes she fails to save victims in time. Sometimes she interprets the signs wrong–and a year ago, she did exactly that. She messed up and a victim died. Caron nearly died with her. Her “gift” shut down.

Now it’s back. There’s another victim–this time a child–and because of the mistake made last year and the shut-down, her police contact, though aware of her many successes, isn’t willing to stake his career on her. Yet he can’t dismiss her and calls in help from a private investigator, Parker Simms: a man with a past as bleak as Caron’s and a specific agenda of his own: proving Caron Chalmers is the fraud he believes her to be.

In a hostile alliance, Caron and Parker seek the truth . . . and discover a labrynth of lies and deceptions that require skills and experience they have and trust they don’t but must somehow find before the child becomes another victim lost. Yet trust never comes without costs, and some are too steep to pay.
The situation grows desperate. Time for the child’s survival grows short . . . and for Caron and Parker, who must live with the consequences of missteps and wrong moves, the unthinkable happens: Stakes that couldn’t get any higher soar.

Maria (Florida Trilogy)

by Eugenia Price

Here’s the set-up:

The spirited story of Mary Evans, an extraordinary woman from colonial Charles Town who finds a place for herself in St. Augustine after Spain relinquishes Florida.

In this captivating tale, Eugenia Price paints a vivid picture of the tumultuous historic and political events that shaped the life of Mary Evans, a remarkably independent woman in the colonial south. Born in Charles Town, South Carolina, Mary, a skilled midwife,
accompanied her first husband, British soldier David Fenwick, when his regiment fought the Spanish in Cuba. When Spain agreed to give all of Florida in exchange for the city of Havana, Mary (who became known as Maria) and her husband were forced to relocate to the newly British garrison town of St. Augustine, Florida.

Maria exposes challenges that would unnerve a less resourceful woman, but she made a name for herself—developing and enhancing her position with influential citizens of St. Augustine. Eventually marrying three times, Maria proved herself to be an extraordinary woman, for any day or time.

Eugenia Price (1916–1996) was a New York Times bestselling author of 39 books, with over 40 million copies sold. She is best known for her historical romantic antebellum novels.

“Ms. Price [has a] knack for recreating a bygone era with such compelling and authentic historic detail.” —The New York Times

“Eugenia Price is a name spoken with affection by millions of readers.” — Publishers Weekly

“Newcomers to Ms. Price’s work should soon join her legions of faithful readers.” —Chattanooga Times

“[Price is]” a consummate storyteller of meticulously researched and emotionally moving novels of the South.” —Rave Reviews

The Sound and the Echoes

by Dew Pellucid

4.7 stars – 9 Reviews

Kindle Price: $2.99

Text-to-Speech and Lending: Enabled

Don’t have a Kindle? Get yours here.

Here’s the set-up:

The Sound and the Echoes is a high-concept, fantasy adventure for middle grade and young adult readers, with 27 magical illustrations.

Imagine that everyone around you has a mirror image living somewhere else. Your world is like a sound, which produced that other world of echoes. And in this land men are governed by a terrible law—no Echo is allowed to live after his Sound dies.

One Sound especially must die. The Prince’s Sound. The Fate Sealers and Fortune Tellers will make sure of that! Because after this Sound dies, the Echo Prince will have to die too.

Now, twelve-year-old Will Cleary is about to discover that he is the Sound the Echoes are hunting. And so begins his perilous adventure into a see-through, sparkling world, filled with spying crystal balls, an eerie fortress of castaway children, a hunt for clues in an ancient book of riddles, and a last-chance escape through a frozen gem-studded lake into a secret land that holds the key to placing the Prince on the throne and returning freedom to the Echoes.

From the reviewers:

“The story shares a number of similarities with the Harry Potter series… but the unique, complex Echo world is enough to set this story apart… A fantasy novel that readers hungry for magic and adventure will gladly devour.”
-Kirkus Reviews

“The Sound and the Echoes is an extraordinary tale that will be loved by many children, teachers, and their parents alike… It is a must in any school or home library.”
-Author Anna del C. Dye.

“Friendship, loyalty and strength of character shine very brightly in this book.”
-Stephanie D. for Readers Favorite.

“Dew Pellucid offers a reader much, awakening an indefinable, irreverent child-like depiction of an imaginative, strange, beautiful world.”
-Sean Randall, Goodreads Librarian.

“I believe my twelve year old self would have loved this book.”
-Lace and Lavender Hints Book Blog.

“If adventure is what you crave, The Sound and the Echoes delivers.”
-Anastacia Hawkins for Readers Favorite.

From the Author:

~ Check out DewPellucid.com for the author’s Facebook, Twitter, Blogger and other social networking links. ~One night I was lying in bed, thinking of the philosopher Plato (of all people). I wondered about his realm of the forms, a place where the true essence of things exists; for we are just reflections of this higher plain… or so Plato thought (which is forgivable, given that he was only a Sound).Very soon I was wondering about the implications of denigrating one world beneath another. And that’s how the idea of a reflection realm was born, one in which Echoes have to die when their Sounds die (as if they are inferior).As to the theme of the novel, there is a main theme and sub-theme. Why two? Because if the book succeeds, perhaps I’ll get to write a sequel one day. If so, the overall theme for the series will remain the same, but each sequel with have a unique sub-theme.

This said, the theme of the novel–that every man has a right to his own life–is revealed by the tragic consequences of the Law of Death. The sub-theme–that we are all equal regardless of the transparency or color of our skin–is expressed in the dislike Echoes feel towards Sounds and, most especially, Mongrels (mixed blood of both races).

Despite its dark themes, The Sound and the Echoes is set in a glittering, winter wonderland, filled with humor and see-through beings, courage, friendship and loyalty to values.

I hope you decide to visit!

Kindle Daily Deal: Wonder Boys

A successful first novel made Grady Tripp a young star, and years later he still hasn’t grown up despite his professorship, estranged wife, and pregnant girlfriend. This satire of the permanent adolescence of the creative class is mordant, humane, and features characters as loveably flawed as any in American fiction.

Here’s the set-up:

The FIRST offbeat mystery in the TUBBY DUBONNET series, by ANTHONY- AND EDGAR-NOMINATED AUTHOR Tony Dunbar.

“a lighthearted, fast-moving, comic mystery … In this well-written, entertaining first novel, Tubby’s luncheon menus are as engaging as the plot.” -Library Journal

HARD-BOILED AND HILARIOUS AT THE SAME TIME, THIS IS THE BOOK THAT ASKS THE QUESTION: IF A GYM BAG OF CASH FELL INTO YOUR HANDS, WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO KEEP IT?

And it has another great quality: The food’s as much fun as the tightly-coiled plot.

A simple man with a refined palate, maverick New Orleans lawyer Tubby Dubonnet has a penchant for fishing, Old Fashioneds, off-track betting, and fighting evil while passing a good time.

His clients are all renegades from the asylum (aka Orleans Parish), including a transvestite entertainer, a buxom deadbeat blonde, a doctor who refers his own patients to a malpractice lawyer, and a Mardi Gras reveler who drives a float shaped like a giant crawfish pot. He also has his hands full with an ex-wife and three teenage daughters, who are experts in the art of wrapping Tubby around their little fingers. And somehow, between work and family, Tubby finds time to sample the highs and lows of idiosyncratic Crescent City cuisine, from trout meuniere amandine and French roast coffee with chicory to shrimp po-boys and homemade pecan pralines.

Tubby’s new client is Darryl Alvarez, the manager of a local nightclub who’s been caught unloading marijuana from a shrimp boat. At their first meeting, Darryl entrusts Tubby with an ordinary-looking blue gym bag. But after Darryl’s unfortunate demise, Tubby realizes he must tighten his grasp on the gym bag — and its million-dollar contents.

TUBBY JUST CAN’T GIVE UP THE CASH. BUT IF HE GETS CAUGHT, HE’LL BE IN JAIL. AND IF THE WRONG PEOPLE CATCH HIM, HE’LL WISH HE WAS.

“Tubby grapples with the temptation of riches and the threats of claimants, and, as he sorts out the rogues among the buttoned-downs, he dispatches the villain and finds a home for the cash in a conclusion that’s as cleverly convoluted and amusing as the rest of this tale, the first in a…series.” -Publishers Weekly

New Orleans-based attorney and writer Tony Dunbar is the Lillian Smith Book Award-winning author of books about Mississippi, Appalachia, migrant workers, and the Southern labor movement as well as the acclaimed Tubby Dubonnet mystery series.
