The Colony by Cami Checketts 

To protect her sons from the mistakes of her past, Brinlee Trapper escapes to a secluded mountain home. But there are dangers lurking in the mountains she has never encountered. The little family is saved from injury by Jed, a mysterious hunter. Brinlee is drawn to him, but she worries about his involvement with a peaceful commune hidden deep in the mountains behind her property. Lance, Brinlee’s attentive neighbor, has his own troubled history. Between his obvious attraction to Brinlee and his developing love for her children, Brinlee finds it more than difficult to guard her heart against this tender intrusion. While Jed offers a life of excitement and freedom, Lance holds the key to the family Brinlee always wanted. When it comes time to choose, she learns that both men have secrets that could shatter her fledgling trust in men and the wrong decision could leave more than her heart exposed to danger.

Free Download: The Midas Tree by

Joshua lives in the Garden Of Color and Light, an idyllic paradise where he is always playing and having fun. Each day is like any other, until he finds a magical golden acorn that enraptures him and propels him on an incredible adventure. After being guided to chase the acorn as it flies through the garden, Joshua discovers a door at the base of a tree; and once he enters his life changes for ever. “Now it is time for you to go on a journey. You may forget the garden for a while. Follow this golden acorn wherever it takes you.” Joshua is transported into a mysterious realm within “The Midas Tree.” Desperate to return home, he sets about exploring this unfamiliar environment. He encounters sticky situations and meets tricky characters along the way. Fortunately he does not have to face them alone. His guides are the mystical creatures that live inside the tree, called Devas. They are keepers of ancient secrets that can help Joshua to cope with the obstacles he encounters and the challenges he meets. Joshua learns from the Devas that if he wishes to return home, he must first transform himself – and “The Midas Tree”. The Devas are fairy-like nature spirits, who love “The Midas Tree” and live to keep it happy and healthy. Each Deva presides over a different realm within the tree and lovingly passes on their knowledge of their territory and the mysteries it holds. Joshua’s quest is to uncover the spiritual secrets of the tree, overcome challenging situations and oust his inner turmoil to finally fulfill his destiny. He is taught different techniques and skills that help him cope with the trials he encounters. The processes that the Devas expose him to begin a path of self-revelation where he learns the truth about himself. This spellbinding story overflows with challenges, magical creatures and mystical superpowers, which you too will discover along the way. “The Midas Tree” is a spiritual adventure novel aimed at a middle grade to Young Adult audience; although all the adults who have read it like it too

FREE EXCERPT: The Inn at Rose Harbor by Debbie Macomber

Cedar Cove fans will love this book & Debbie will captivate new readers too –

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber comes a heartwarming new series based in the Pacific Northwest town of Cedar Cove, where a charming cast of characters finds love, forgiveness, and renewal behind the doors of the cozy Rose Harbor Inn.

Jo Marie Rose first arrives in Cedar Cove seeking a sense of peace and a fresh start. Coping with the death of her husband, she purchases a local bed-and-breakfast—the newly christened Rose Harbor Inn—ready to begin her life anew. Yet the inn holds more surprises than Jo Marie can imagine.

Her first guest is Joshua Weaver, who has come home to care for his ailing stepfather. The two have never seen eye to eye, and Joshua has little hope that they can reconcile their differences. But a long-lost acquaintance from Joshua’s high school days proves to him that forgiveness is never out of reach and love can bloom even where it’s least expected.  

The other guest is Abby Kincaid, who has returned to Cedar Cove to attend her brother’s wedding. Back for the first time in twenty years, she almost wishes she hadn’t come, the picturesque town harboring painful memories from her past. And while Abby reconnects with family and old friends, she realizes she can only move on if she truly allows herself to let go.

A touching novel of life’s grand possibilities and the heart’s ability to heal, The Inn at Rose Harbor is a welcome introduction to an unforgettable set of friends.

Tempest Summer Relay

Actually, I should have post this a long time ago, but due to my hectic schedule..:D, I wasn't able to. Anyway, I'd like to invite you to the Tempest Summer Relay which was hosted by Julie Cross, the author herself. I really wish I could join, but this isn't open to INTERNATIONAL readers.

First, here's a little blurb about the book:

TEMPEST

The year is 2009.  Nineteen-year-old Jackson Meyer is a normal guy… he’s in college, has a girlfriend… and he can travel back through time. But it’s not like the movies – nothing changes in the present after his jumps, there’s no space-time continuum issues or broken flux capacitors – it’s just harmless fun.

That is… until the day strangers burst in on Jackson and his girlfriend, Holly, and during a struggle with Jackson, Holly is fatally shot. In his panic, Jackson jumps back two years to 2007, but this is not like his previous time jumps. Now he’s stuck in 2007 and can’t get back to the future.

Desperate to somehow return to 2009 to save Holly but unable to return to his rightful year, Jackson settles into 2007 and learns what he can about his abilities.

But it’s not long before the people who shot Holly in 2009 come looking for Jackson in the past, and these “Enemies of Time” will stop at nothing to recruit this powerful young time-traveler.  Recruit… or kill him.

Piecing together the clues about his father, the Enemies of Time, and himself, Jackson must decide how far he’s willing to go to save Holly… and possibly the entire world.

 If you haven't read about this book, check out my review here.

When is it?

June 4, 2012 through August 5, 2012
**Recruits for Team Leaders starts April 23, 2012

Who can participate?

US residents between the ages of 13-25 years old who have not participated in a relay thus far.

**note-Summer relay has a very limited number of participants, so please don't get discouraged if you don't get in this time. If all goes well, there will be more relays.

What exactly is a Tempest relay?

Tempest relay is a fun way to get one book to reach as many of your peers in your local area as possible. It's also super cool because the standings are posted each week and top contenders are featured.

After I receive your email and determine that you are qualified and I have space available, then I will mail you a copy of Tempest, a couple log sheets, and the more specific relay directions.
*Note--You won't actually be keeping this copy of the book.

Okay...So what do I actually get for doing this relay thing?

Healthy competition? The joy of talking books with your peers? An excuse to talk to that boy/girl you like that you haven't been able to manage a coherent sentence around since discovering said like status. Just say Julie Cross forced you to speak to this crush and told them to join your team.

AND you will also get....a personalized signed copy of Tempest which I will mail as soon as I receive your relay copy. Since this isn't an actual contest, I can't claim there will be prizes, however, there most likely will be little treats for my top standing team leaders. Though I won't give specifics on this page.

So, now that you've read the basic instructions, it's time to decide if you qualify to participate before emailing me and causing me to count you in the limited number of spots only to have us both realize you aren't going to be able to do this. I've created a check list to help you make this decision.

To know about the rules, click here.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to email : Julie (JulieCross1 @ live dot com) or Ashelynn! (ashelynnhetland @ gmail dot com)


Remember, Julie has only have a very limited number of spots available!
