Hearts Unfold (Miracle at Valley Rise Book 1) by Karen Welch

hearts unfold~~Miracle at Valley Rise Series~~
Hearts Unfold~Book One
Entreat Me Not~Book Two
Heart of My Own Heart~Book Three
Offered for Love~Book Four
A secret Christmas homecoming, a blinding snowstorm, and in the course of one night two shattered lives will be changed forever.

Nineteen-year-old Emily Haynes had lost almost everything she loved. Relying on what seems to be guidance from her invalid father, she returns to her past in hopes of discovering some sign toward the future. What begins as a joyous homecoming quickly becomes a nightmare when a badly injured stranger stumbles on the scene, his brief presence threatening to alter everything Emily believes about herself and the plan for her life. A less determined girl might have been shaken by such an experience, but not Emily. She is certain she’s made the right choice, so certain that in the following three years, she almost convinces herself.

Superstar violinist Stani Moss appeared to have everything–fame, fortune and a career guaranteed to bring more of the same, until one hasty decision placed it all in jeopardy. Terrified and confused, Stani struggles not only to recover his former skill, but to find answers to the questions which haunt him. Throughout his slow journey back, one image lingers in his buried memories of that fateful night–the vision of a girl he’s never met. The journey will eventually lead him to Emily, and beyond that day, everything about his life will be transformed.

Set in the years around 1970, Hearts Unfold begins the saga of two people whose paths should never have crossed, who defy the odds to create a place they can share. The first of four volumes in the Miracle at Valley Rise Series, this novel could stand alone as a triumphant tale of romance, but there’s much more to the story, as Emily and Stani reveal their pasts and strive to bridge the distance between their worlds. Follow their progress, be entertained by their adventures, and perhaps be inspired by their unwavering belief in the transforming power of love.

Magicide by Carolyn V. Hamilton 

magicideMaxwell Beacham-Jones, the world’s most famous magician, has reached the zenith of his success. Now he’s planned the most daring, outrageous trick of his career.

But when Maxwell dies in a Las Vegas roller coaster escape stunt before a national television audience, it’s no accident. He was hated by his contemporaries, and all of the suspects are magicians—with plenty of secret motives for murder.

MAGICIDE introduces Las Vegas Metro Police detective and single mom, Cheri Raymer, and her vegetarian partner, Tony Pizzarelli. Together they follow a trail through the world of magic and show business that leads to intrigue and shocking revelations.

Raymer will face the most devastating personal threat in her career when her teen-aged son, Tom, fascinated by magic, becomes the protégé of a suspected killer.

About Magicide author Carolyn V. Hamilton

Magicide author Carolyn V. HamiltonWriting is my life…

?well, maybe not completely…but I do love what I do, and I think that makes all the difference!

After a long career in advertising, marketing, graphic design & public relations, I joined the U.S. Peace Corps. As a volunteer assigned to rural community development work in the South American country of Suriname (formerly Dutch Guiana), I lived for a year in an indigenous Amerindian village on the northeast corner of the Amazon basin.

This experience inspired my first novel, the adventure/romance, “Hard Amazon Rain.”

It was also In Suriname where I learned the history of Elisabeth Samson, the first black woman in the 18th century Dutch plantation colony to get legal permission from the government to marry white, inspiring me to write my second novel, “Elisabeth Samson, Forbidden Bride.”

And I was off and writing… completing my Las Vegas-based murder mystery, “Magicide”, co-writing the Cork Proctor memoir, “My Mind is an Open Mouth,” and most recently “How to Create a Personal Art Journal.”

Right now I’m finishing my own memoir about coming to Las Vegas in the 70s to join a circus and opening the original MGM Grand Hotel as a cocktail waitress. “Coming to Las Vegas, a True Tale of Sex, Drugs & Sin City in the 70s” will debut in September 2014.

When that’s done, I’ll be completing another in-the-drawer project, a non-fiction book for authors, “Power Editing For Fiction Writers.”
