King of the Marshmallows Episode #4

Stretch!

[Smashwords][OmniLit][Nook][Kindle][KindleUK][KindleGE][KindleFR][KindleES][KindleIT]

Meet Mr. Yee’s niece Zoe – she swings a mean bo staff, but doesn’t usually use it in the kind of battles she fights. Zoe’s spent a lot of time on her own because of her parents’ professions, and has gotten used to taking care of herself.  Now that she’s one of the Marshmallows, though, she also has friends to take care of – to help, to teach, and to defend. Even Tim comes to trust her, both as friend and teacher.

But is there any good way to help and teach someone your age who’s not your friend; who may not be, may never be, anybody’s friend? When you’re used to making your own rules, how far will you (or can you) go for a good cause? Once you accept a responsibility, what do you do if it conflicts with other responsibilities? Coping with life can require you to make some big stretches.

But even when she stretches herself to find a solution, Zoe realizes, a lot of where you go depends on where you’ve been in the past, on who you are in the very heart of you, and on who you come from.

Sometimes where you get to is someplace you never thought you’d go.

Servant to the Wolf by Sue Wentz (On Sale Now!)

Posted on

In 106 A.D., a fifteen year old slave boy comes face to face with the hazards of arrogance bigotry and hatred: primarily his own.

Marcus has a great life. He’s well-fed, well-educated, good-looking and respected by everyone around him, not bad for a rich man’s personal servant living in the heart of the Roman Empire.

Blacksmith Lupus, “the Wolf,” will always carry the scars of his own experience with slavery. A foreign born “barbarian” and now a freedman, Lupus works his trade and lives a simple life, trying to put his past behind him.

When a twist of fate causes Marcus to tumble from his comfortable lifestyle into the ownership of Lupus, conflict erupts between the prideful slave and the humble smith. But there just might be more to Lupus than meets the eye. When danger threatens, maybe it’s not such a bad thing to be a Servant to the Wolf.

Even though it’s only been a week since Rachel headed to London to find her brother, she knows her life will never be the same. Everything she thought she knew–she didn’t.

Flying from France by Tim Champlin (On Sale Now)

Chasing the Golden Dream Episode #6

Flying from France by Tim ChamplinFlying from France

Cousins Brad and Glen Casemont were flung into the past five times when they touched a mysterious patch of foxfire. In each time-travel adventure, the boys barely escaped with their lives as they tried, and failed, to bring back the treasure–a rare $3 gold piece they took from a strongbox belonging to Brad’s father.

All five time-trips have taken only eight hours during one summer day. They were shot at, bruised, nearly drowned, crushed, and scared half to death, but the lost coin has continued to elude them. They have time for only one more attempt before they must go home, empty-handed.

This time they land in World War I France at the aerodrome of the LaFayette Escadrille, where American volunteers are flying biplanes in the fight against Germany. By a twist of good fortune, a pilot named Conrad Johnson, has the gold piece. He’s planning to mail it to Brad’s great grandfather, Alan, who found it in a creek bed a few months before. Thinking Alan is a teenage relative of Brad’s, Johnson asks the boys to return the coin to Alan in person. Brad is elated. This is easy. Or is it?

The boys jam themselves into the rear cockpit of Johnson’s Sopwith biplane so he can fly them to England for a ship home.

But German fighters attack. Is this the end? Have they tempted Fate once too often?

Laramie Conquers the Last Frontier by Deborah Dee Harper Laramie Conquers the Last Frontier

Laramie, Prentiss, Maestro, and the rest of the Wyomings are finally in Anchorage, Alaska. Following a visit to Kentucky over the winter to visit Laramie’s great-grandparents for the holidays, the family returns to the Land of the Midnight Sun to enjoy all that Alaska–the Last Frontier and our 49th state–has to offer.

But they are not alone. Despite the arrests of Maggie, Charlie, Benny, Russell, and two fake construction workers along the ALCAN Highway, danger still lurks around every corner and along Alaskan hiking trails, campgrounds, and glaciers. Even the ocean isn’t far enough away to avoid their enemies! The big boss hasn’t given up on whatever it is he wants from Laramie and Laramie’s foster brother, Prentiss Williams, and will stop at nothing to get it.

Will Laramie and Prentiss finally conquer their foes and be able to live in peace? Just who is the big boss and will the mystery of what he wants from them finally be solved? Who is the mysterious Jeremiah and why he’s been following them all across the country?

Come along with Laramie Wyoming, foster brother Prentiss Williams, and Laramie’s black lab and best friend, Maestro, as they give it all they’ve got to conquer the Last Frontier in the last installment of Laramie on the Lam!

Tales of Ever Episode #5

Dragon Rising by Jen WylieDragon Rising

My quest continues to find my dad. At least I now have proof he was actually banished to Ever too. I have so many questions still unanswered. Mainly, is he still alive and where is he? I hope I can find him.

My latest clue is a place called the Hidden City. Hopefully, he’s there. Hopefully, my friends and I can find it. Ever and its crazy landscapes keep throwing obstacles in our path. Monsters are something I’m used to fighting now. I think we’ll be okay.

Our main concern is the dragons. They’ve risen…which I’m told isn’t too strange, but they are acting peculiar. Something is wrong and none of us know what. I’m afraid Ever is about to get a lot more dangerous.
