Autism: One Grandparent’s Roadmap

About Autism: One Grandparent’s Roadmap:

Although written in a grandparent’s voice, the book is also for parents. When our family received our Autism diagnosis, we had to Google Autism, because we knew so little about the condition. The book is a compilation of live links and articles to get you started on your journey. For the child’s sake, you can’t afford to be behind in knowledge. Everything you learn makes life better for the child.
When it came to learning and understanding what autism is and isn’t, and how to appropriately support our child; we had to dig out every word on our own. Where do we go? Where do I find this? How do I do that? What does stimming mean?
After six years with a lovely grandson on the spectrum, I decided we needed a roadmap. With luck, someone smarter than me will write a better one.
The links embedded in the book are live so, you can go directly to the resources or articles I’ve cited.
I’m not a therapist or clinician but I’ve spent years accumulating information to help my grandson: I wish I’d had the day he was diagnosed.

My Ex-Best friend’s Daughter by K.C. Crowne

About Featured Book: My Ex-Best friend’s Daughter by K.C. Crowne

Imagine my shock when I see my former best friend’s daughter.
Her smile making me hard the moment I catch her sweet scent.
Those firm bre@sts peeking out from a sexy little business suit.
All the sass and confidence wrapped up in a petite curvy frame.
Safe to say we know which head will win this battle.

Eden’s father may have been my best friend before an epic clash…
But I know what I want. Right now that’s his daughter.
More specifically speaking…
Her bent over my knees.
Begging me to claim her innocence.
I can already picture the headlines.
‘Hot shot Director beds his much younger assistant.’

I’ve tried for years to rid myself of my darkness.
But screw being Mr. Nice Guy.
The beast inside can only stay locked away for so long.
And tonight it’s salivating for a taste of the forbidden fruit beneath Eden’s business suite.

Crow

About Crow:

I am a menace to society who takes lives without blinking. I was bred this way by the devil himself, by the man who raised me. When the time comes, I’ll bury him too, but until then, the little starling feeding the birds in the park has my full attention.

With raven-colored hair and disarming eyes capable of infusing oxygen into my dead, cold heart, she’d have the best chance of piecing me back together.

Her efforts will be pointless, though. Because the monster inside me is the strongest of them all, and when he comes out to play, more than her wings will be clipped by his wrath.

This book is nothing like the 80’s movie. It’s about finding love against all odds.

Crow is a dark romance about surviving against the odds, and finding love despite this. It has scenes that may be distressing to some readers. Caution is advised.

Codename Poltergeist: Some call him a ghost by William Joel

About Featured Book: Codename Poltergeist: Some call him a ghost by William Joel

The CIA and presidential cabinet members covertly enter into an agreement with the Palestinians to remove certain key Israeli government figures in a plan to enable the United States to claim that they engineered peace in the Middle East and gain the favor of Arabic countries and likely gain favor to increase energy supply. Sentinel, a group of angelic-type beings who monitor the Earth, are very concerned that the United States could be igniting a major conflict if the Israelis learn of the plan and retaliate.

Taneen, an unscrupulous and deadly CIA operative convinces the CIA deputy director of operations to eliminate the agency’s most highly regarded operative, James Halyard, Codename Poltergeist, believing Halyard was a possible threat to their plans. Taneen won’t admit it, but he’s scared of Halyard who moves like a ghost through his missions and is jealous of Halyard’s deadliness. The attempt to kill Halyard fails, but they kill Halyard’s wife in the process. An angelic-like being from the Sentinel rescues Halyard who was seriously injured in the explosion that practically destroyed the hotel room he was sharing with his wife.

Sentinel heals Halyard of his wounds. They have been monitoring Halyard for some time and give him the option of becoming an agent for their purposes with highly augmented mental and physical abilities. He agrees and truly becomes Poltergeist able to move silently with the grace and ease of a large predator. His earing, vision, and cognitive abilities are highly elevated, and he has the ability to move through the transparency to escape from confined spaces. Sentinel sends Poltergeist to unravel and thwart the conspiracy. Even with Poltergeist’s impressive abilities he finds Taneen to be elusive and very deadly. Poltergeist encounters several unforeseen allies, a highly capable and equally lethal MOSSAD agent, Deborah Eisman, who at first sought to eliminate him and a crusty homicide detective, Harry Sullivan who help Poltergeist battle Taneen and the CIA.

About AVENGING ANGEL: Love and Death in Old Brooklyn by Charles S. Isaacs:

A riveting tale of revenge, survival and redemption, wrapped around an unlikely love story and set against an urban backdrop corrupted by violence against women and racism.

Following a racially motivated rape by three Ku Klux Klansmen, 12-year-old Cassandra Monroe vows revenge. After eight years of training, now a strikingly beautiful assassin, she accomplishes her mission.

Coyote’s Road Trip

About Coyote’s Road Trip:

Coyote has been the guardian spirit of a desert valley for hundreds of years. He’s watched the daily lives of the original people, saw the Donnor Party wagon train roll by, and witnessed the invasion by people of European descent. He was always able to adapt to change–until climate change made his valley uninhabitable, even for a shapeshifting nature spirit. So Coyote hit the road, looking for a new home.

A prequel to Raven Woman’s Tavern, Coyote’s Road Trip is a mash up of magical realism, dystopia, and travelogue set in the near future.

Reviewers say: “From beginning to end this story is beautiful. Although this is a story about Coyote, the shape shifter spirit…. this story is so human. “
“The book is great. A very fast read. Yes, it is wistful, and in several places, it is very sad, but it’s varied and it’s always interesting. A wonderful book. Highly recommended.”
“This is an original and interesting story with thought provoking elements. And as Ms. Koerber always manages to do, she weaves her story in a way that takes the reader on a journey, while also giving them pause for thought. There’s always more to her characters and storyline than first meets the eye.”
“I did not expect to be enthralled by this book but as I was reading, it was like nothing else around me mattered.”
