Two tales entwine.
Sabrina and Lauren’s tales entwine – linked by blood and magic. Sabrina, a newly fledged healer, is thrust out of her sheltered life at Mistress Florisah’s healing school after the destruction of the witch-ancestor portraits. An anti-witchcraft militia is poised on Karthalon’s borders threatening full scale genocide, unless Sabrina, the last of Lauren’s bloodline, can destroy the Lodestone, and restore magic to Valloaria, but the Lodestone is buried deep within the heart of the Order’s headquarters.

Sabrina struggles to accept this suicide mission, and is distracted by her inappropriate affection for Micah, a prospect monk. Lauren’s ghost haunts Sabrina’s dreams as her diary reveals the tragic events behind Lauren’s actions. With invasion imminent, Sabrina embarks on her quest armed only with a sliver of the Lodestone, and Lauren’s diary but how can a lone girl prevail against an army?

About the author, Wendy Scott:

As a child I had a ferocious imagination and immersed myself in creating stories and poems. One birthday I begged for a chemistry set, sensing the promise of adventure from the glittering vials of copper sulphate and salt. At that time, I didn’t know I was following in the footsteps of my grandfather who had studied science in Edinburgh in 1899. A further trace back into my Scottish ancestry uncovered an ancestor known as ‘the wizard’. So I could dabble with potions too, I gained a NZ Certificate in Science (Chemistry) and worked in a variety of laboratories (salt, meat, dairy and wine) in NZ and Australia. The wine tasted the best!

During my 5 years in Adelaide, Australia, I completed several writing courses at the WEA. When my partner, son (5 months), dog and I moved back to NZ we lived in a house truck for 3 years while our off-the-grid house was planned and built. During this period I wrote on a solar powered laptop and completed many correspondence courses from the AWA.
I write adult fantasy, children’s novels and I’m currently branching into romance.

Enriching Your Retirement: How To Find Your Niche, Change Your Thinking, Enjoy Your Future by C.L. Ferrari

Are you approaching retirement age? Have you just recently retired? Are you one of the thousands who retire every day wondering what they’ll do with all of the free time? In this easy to read and relatable book, the author shares numerous testimonials from people she’s personally interviewed who share your concerns about reaching this juncture in life. This book offers insight into the struggles and victories they’ve experienced with these issues. You’ll learn how they’ve found new interests and are living their retirements with more joy than they’d previously thought possible.

After 25 plus years of working inside of a structured environment, the sudden change to retirement freedom isn’t always comfortable. Especially when the majority of hours spent awake were hours spent at work. Even the necessary structure required to get personal things done on weekends and evenings fed into a reliance on schedules and calendar appointments.
Habits acquired over a time period probably exceeding fifty years, including time spent during high school and college, can be hard to break. Dependency on that structure, and its sudden absence, leave many feeling that they’re without a purpose.  The author’s comfortable and sometimes humorous style of conveying the information you need to move forward, makes this a uniquely enjoyable read.
Enriching Your Retirement covers topics that will get you to take a deeper look into your own life and weigh the pros and cons of:
• Where and how you want to live?
• What kind of lifestyle you want to pursue?
• How you’ll discover new things you might like to try?
• Why your attitude about change sabotages your happiness?

Follow the advice in this book and in a few short weeks you’ll begin to feel a difference, a relief from the pressure of facing the unknown. You’ll be able to look at your future through new eyes. Build your bucket list and start living it now. Tomorrow isn’t a promise, make every day count.

What’s stopping you from having a positive outlook and great expectations for your remaining years?

SEIZED BY LOVE is a USA TODAY BESTSELLER

Lizzie Barber runs a successful flower shop by day and secretly hosts the Naked Baker webcast at night to help pay for her younger sister’s education. To keep friends and family from finding out about her sexy secret, she’s put her social life on hold until her sister’s education is paid off and she can stop filming the webcast.

Blue Ryder fell hard for Lizzie Barber when he met her a year ago, and he hasn’t been able to get her off his mind since. Everything about the feisty little brunette, from her tight bod to her seductive smile, cuts straight to his heart. Though Lizzie has turned down every invitation he’s extended–Blue is not about to give up trying.

Renovating Lizzie’s kitchen brings Blue further into Lizzie’s life, and the oven is not the only thing heating up. One night and one powerful kiss changes everything. But when Lizzie’s secret is revealed and the safe bubble she’s hidden in shatters, true love may not be enough to put the pieces back together.
