A Surprise Visit From A Stranger May Save Annie's Marriage
Left on her own on Black Mountain, Vermont, in January when the North Eastern states are experiencing one of the heaviest snow storms for years, Annie is slowly recovering from a hysterectomy. Her husband, John Jackson, is attending a conference in New York City. Her two grown-up children live a long way away, her daughter in Montana and her son and his family in Florida.
Annie is exhausted both from the operation and the problems of trying to deal with her husband’s inattentions and the fact she is unable to work at the job she loves: teaching children in an all age school in rural Vermont.
Once John has set off for New York she is both relieved and worried. At last she falls asleep and sleeps for over twenty hours.
When she awakes she hears a voice from the garage asking her for help.
And so begins Annie’s dilemma for once she revives the young man she finds in the garage does she succumb to his attentions?
Will is very young, 18, very clever ”" he is in pre-med before beginning his training as a doctor ”" and Annie’s loneliness vanishes as she is drawn closer and closer to Will. Annie enjoys cooking for Will. He enjoys her company too and seems to be suggesting that they should get to know each other better.
Annie points out that she is far too old for Will and in any case is happily married and would never betray her husband. Will senses that something is not quite right with the marriage and wonders what she would do if she knew, absolutely knew, that her husband could never ever possibly find out if she had an affair.
An evening spent discussing some of the most erotic poetry ever written in English ”" the Songs and Sonnets of John Donne, the great metaphysical poet ”" draws Annie and Will dangerously close to Annie doing something she may regret for ever.
An absolutely glorious afternoon spent playing in the snow in the magical fairy-like forest brings Annie alive again and makes her determined to make her marriage glow once again.
Unfortunately a silly race back to the house results in Annie falling. Will tries to lift Annie up but his face is so close to hers she is helpless and pulls Will down on top of her and kisses him passionately.
Annie is shaken by her own actions and becomes more and more determined to keep Will at arm’s length.
As the week draws to a close a number of questions arise. Is Will really who he says he is? Where has he come from? Why is he so keen to stay as long as he can and then suddenly eager to leave once Friday dawns?
For Will time is running out. He appears to be desperate to get to know Annie intimately. In spite of her fierce determination to remain faithful to her husband Annie feels irresistibly drawn towards Will until she feels compelled to do something utterly against her natural instincts.
Annie’s Ghost is a deeply romantic love story with a shocking twist at the end that will break your heart.

"For women readers, this is a romantic international spy novel; for men, it's an international spy novel with romance - all wrapped up in a true life historical thriller written with Dan Brown flare."
First in the SILENT CATS series, JD Wallace's Deadly Dance spins the mind-bending, genre-blurring fictionalized true story based on the life of Kat, the youngest Kidon Katsa Assassin in the history of Mossad, and her husband, Pantera, the fabled Chief Black Site Interrogator, who worked under such special access programs as the Operation Copper Green (created under Donald Rumsfeld), the United Nations Security Council - Special Operations Group (UN-SOG), and Task Forces 88 and 121.
Reaching back to 1989, Kat and Pantera meet in the City of Seven Hills, beautiful Rome, Italy, at a U.S. Embassy New Year's Eve ball, kicking off their 16-year relationship in the onion-layered world of covert operatives, spy hunters, slave traders, and sovereign-paid intelligence peddlers. Of necessity, their encounters are beset by lies wrapped in half-truths, concealed in shadowy realities. Kat and Pantera maneuver through action-packed covert operations, romantic encounters, torture, and acrobatic combat, all while coming to grips about who they're hunting and who is hunting them.

Something has gone foul in the Black Hills … something gravely unnatural. Leave it to Violet Parker to stumble into the middle of it.
A creepy phone call. A dead body. Two meddling detectives. A glut of trouble-making ex-partners. Can things get any worse?
Violet swears to keep her nose out of police business this time. But when her son is linked to the victim, she returns to the scene of the crime. More than just a mystery to solve, now her son might be in mortal danger.
A fascinating collection of life stories told by 30 authors from eight countries. They write of their attempts to move beyond crippling grief, free themselves of haunting memories, get out from under abusive relationships. They tell of their struggles – often painful, sometimes funny - to let go of everything from a fear of horses, to old family homes, and piles of books and papers.
“The question in the air is: Does the inability to let go of ideas, people, places and things sometimes drag one down? I believe readers will find answers to that question in the many thoughtful essays in this collection, which show us that freeing oneself by letting go is not only possible but often necessary for enjoying the fullness of life. Via their stories, these fine writers give us valuable food for thought on letting go or, for those still not convinced, permission to stop forcing oneself to try.” From the Introduction by M. E. Hughes, editor

For two years, the man known as The Wall of Winnipeg couldn't find it in him to tell her good morning or congratulate her on her birthday. Now? He's asking for the unthinkable.
What do you say to the man who is used to getting everything he wants?
Virginia is for Lovers, and Cape Harriet, especially so.
A haughty Wall Street executive facing a life changing decision arrives at the luxurious Rising Tides Inn. Pampered by Zadie and Pete Strathmore, the inn keepers, she hesitantly allows herself to relax, soothed by gourmet food and walks on the beach.
--A new world from mythic fantasy author Matt Larkin--
In every generation a Princess is born to each island of Sawaiki, blessed with the power to control a single aspect of the natural world. Namaka’s power is arguably the most valuable of them all--in a world of archipelagos and endless ocean, she control the seas themselves.
The mer people of the Worldsea despise her for this power over their domain, all the more so because she can barely control her gift. At war amongst themselves, they harness this uncontrolled power by possessing Namaka with a mermaid spirit--turning her into one of them. As Namaka struggles to accept this new existence, she’s faced with conflict above the waves and war below. And if she cannot control her powers, both her worlds face annihilation.
