Book Description
In Macon, Georgia, Miss Lisa receives an unexpected call from a girl claiming to be her niece, and she has bad news. Lisa’s only sister has died, although how she died remains unconfirmed. Her niece Valdosta has no other family and nowhere else to go, so Lisa invites her to leave her home in Chicago and join her down south. When Valdosta arrives, the sixteen-year-old is not what Lisa expected. Her skin is much lighter than her kin, and she has emerald green eyes. She also seems to be hiding something, a feeling that intensifies when Lisa tries to ascertain what happened to Valdosta’s mother. However, Valdosta can’t run from the past or the demons in her own head. She brings mystery into Lisa’s home, along with dark memories and even darker secrets. When the authorities get involved, all must be revealed but possibly at great cost. What is Lisa’s niece hiding, and how far will Lisa go to protect her dead sister’s child?

White Lies, Black Truth, The Lost Light is an informative piece, providing spiritual strength and faith of a higher power, uplifting a chosen people, the descendants of Israel, to encourage them to come back to their GOD laws and live peacefully with all man. The story is interesting because the people of the book, the target audience, are people who have been lost, their identity lost and stolen, and have not known who they are or where they come from for thousands of years until now. It's relevant because it's the truth and the truth shall make us free! Regardless if the message is for you or not, I hope you obtain an understanding of the purpose of the book and the message it's conveying to its audience. Readers will be able to see the truth and hopefully understand that much of the current religions are teaching a false Christ and a deceiving message to the people.

When fishing, there's always an element of chance. And the occasional opportunity to exaggerate just a bit, especially about the one that got away. In Lies, Damned Lies & Anglers, Bruce Sandison searches for the truth about angling, with all it's pleasures and frustrations, and reveals some of the secrets of success he has discovered over the years. For those drawn to river and loch, peace, tranquility and contentment are key. But catching fish is an altogether trickier business. Over the years, Bruce Sandison has caught prize fish almost by accident, suffered as absolute beginners have had more than their fair share of luck, battled the elements in small boats, worn inappropriate waders and has, by chance, also discovered the songs that fish simply can't resist. Through good times and bad, the odd big fish may have got away but, of course, the stories are all true . . .

Book Description
Jersey Bad Boys There’s no room for mercy in a kingdom built on lies. Beneath the veneer of polite society exists a criminal organization known for its utter lack of mercy. They call themselves the Vipers. The men who belong to this syndicate are cruel, cunning, and unforgiving. Ruled by a king, this band of brothers knows no boundaries and takes no prisoners. To cross them is to sign your own death certificate. But even serpents have weaknesses. And sometimes that weakness is just a flower. PITIFUL LIES Denial is just another type of lie. But sometimes it’s all a girl has. Giselle Okay, so I threw a glass of beer in his face the first time I saw him. I thought he was his cousin and that he was treating my best friend badly. It was an honest mistake. I didn’t know the psycho was going to see it as a challenge and form a fixation on me. My answer was a firm resounding no. But that didn’t seem to stop him. And when a group of drunk guys decided to follow me home one night after I left the Den, I had to admit, it paid to have a stalker who was six foot six inches of pure, tattooed muscle. Angel Fury was something to behold, and now that he made it into my bed, I was afraid he’d slithered into other places. Like my heart. There was only one way to get rid of the man who would only cause me pain in the end. Deny. Deny. Deny. *** Angel The first time I saw Giselle Vega, I knew I wanted her. The curvy goddess stood toe to toe with a monster like me and didn’t even bat an eyelash. It wasn’t every day I met a woman feisty enough to take me on. She could keep spouting her pitiful lies, but I knew the truth. I felt it every time I touched her. She was crazy about me. And I wanted to keep her. I just had to get her addicted. So, I decided to lay in wait, like the Viper I was. That was the thing about snakes. Sure, we hibernated at times, but we always struck when least expected. My pretty Little Doll had no idea what was coming for her. Pitiful Lies is the third in the contemporary romance series of connected standalones, Jersey Bad Boys. This series features familiar tropes such as enemies to lovers, forced proximity, arranged marriages, secret babies, and contains some violence and explicit scenes.
