Book Description:

Margaret Sullivan, a troubled college student in her early twenties,
becomes a modern-day Joan of Arc when she is compelled to save humanity as the
pinnacle of evil comes to seize what he believes was his in NOBODY’S
MULLIGAN by Brian Holt.

Orphaned at childbirth and raised by her maternal grandparents, Margaret
feels the sting of loss when her grandmother dies. With no maternal figure in
her life to offer her comfort and guidance, Margaret becomes a borderline
traumatic social recluse and is treated as an outcast, despite participating in
admirable callings, and is left with her ailing grandfather, Paddy Sullivan. What
she doesn’t realize is that evil is actively afoot and identifies her as an
impediment to Satan’s global apocalyptic conquest.

Craig Templeton, an unmotivated, barely graduated gamer existing in his
mother’s basement, seeks employment at a PR firm, assigned to the mailroom,
which he perceives as corporate leprosy and beneath him given his freshly
minted college degree. Templeton’s rust-relic of a car is the perfect prompt
for Satan, as he sees Templeton ogling the high-end vehicles believing that he
is already deserving of such amenities.

Drawn against their will into the town square on the night of the
apocalypse arranged by a series of circumstances under Templeton’s influence,
the citizens of Grace’s Parrish are confronted by the accumulated product of
their own transgressions, and universal suffrage is served. Perplexed by her
grandfather’s apparent immunity to Templeton’s will, Margaret ultimately
realizes that faith will triumph over evil. The price is heavy, as the town
seeks redemption from the only one who can grant it. With it comes a caveat
that one detractor in the group will re-invite the apocalypse with increased
severity.

Margaret’s heroism is handsomely rewarded as she ultimately finds
transcendence that no mortal could deliver—a unification with the one person
whose absence created an emotional abyss, as well as an explanation of her
grandfather’s immunity to Satan’s will which is epic. And she ultimately
finds her happily ever after with a love-match that is intriguingly
coincidental! The ending nicely sets the stage for the workings of a
prequel.

Book Description:

Living with cerebral palsy is enormously difficult. But what if you never knew you had it? This is the incredible story of Ilana Estelle.

Born the second of premature twins, from a young age Ilana knew she was different, but for all the wrong reasons. A child of the 60s, Ilana experienced first-hand the way that disability was so often brushed under the carpet and not spoken about. Her constant physical and mental struggles made her feel isolated, alone, frustrated, and misunderstood… it took 46 years for her to find out why.

Part memoir, part motivational guide, Cerebral Palsy: A Story is Ilana’s open and honest journey from an angry, confused child, knowing something was wrong, but not knowing what, to the ‘real’ her – a courageous woman using her experiences and lessons to create inspiring messages about mental and physical health, positivity, resilience and change.

Meet the Author:

Ilana was born with a disability she didn’t know she had until the age of 46, when through her medical notes she discovered she had been diagnosed with cerebral palsy at the age of 2.

That discovery turned out to be a unique and life-changing experience that has forced Ilana to stand back and look at her life experiences differently. On her late diagnosis, Ilana set up her website The CP Diary and uses her experiences to explore her emotional and physical health, with an inspiring message advocating resilience and change.

Ilana likes to spend her days writing and blogging about anything that contributes to her health and well being. She is an animal advocate and is passionate about environmental issues. When she is not writing to tending to her blog, Ilana enjoys days out exploring the Yorkshire countryside. Ilana lives with her husband and their much-loved cat, in Yorkshire. Her grown up son and daughter both live in London.

BlueInk Review

Book Description:
When souls intersect deeply, but their paths are separate...

After a harrowing experience from his service in the military, Matt returns only to find his marriage to the love of his life is over. In the midst of his darkness, Matt seeks peace camping in Wyoming, where he meets Nicole, an intriguing woman who shifts his perspective, and changes his life forever. As their connection deepens, their relationship uncovers the fears that are holding both of them back.

Matt isn’t the only one with an unresolved love in his past. Waiting in the wings is Sam, Nicole’s business partner and best friend. The pair have a history of more than just catering and event planning, but Nicole has always been afraid of letting Sam get too close.

In this novel of self-discovery, compassion and healing, Nicole and Matt are brought to a greater understanding and acceptance of themselves, and who they are in the world.
