Book Description
In this sequel to the childrens love story Princess Tiffany Arabella and the Time of Dreams, a verbal altercation on the ancient Battlefield of West Whitton breaks out between the powers of good and evil. Sir Nicholas William Weybridge, his sentinels, and the young mortal Earth Boy, Jaidyn Justin Hayward, are pitted against the trio of evil - the dark and mysterious Lord Malak, Sir Gerhardt Rollow (who is the ghost of an East Korindan Knight), and the Asian Princess Tamzin Takei Tamanishi. The battle of words turns into a slow charge to the evil Tower of Grinvalds Castle, but before they reach it, the party is attacked by many vile and ugly creatures summoned by Malak. The Quest to the dastardly Tower is to free the man who broke Queen Karinas heart and to retrieve the deadly Atomic Cannon from their enemy, the East Korindans. On the return journey, the party experiences deaths, betrayal, and a visit from a Princess whose friendliness is suspect. When Tiffany reveals her feelings for Jaidyn, a major surprise looms for them both. Neither Tiffany nor Jaidyn realize the truth until it is too late. Stuart Jarod Hinchliffe was born in the Summer Wine country of West Yorkshire, England, and now lives in Australia. His inspirations are many but include Aboriginal culture, the books of C.S. Lewis, chess, cricket, the music of the Moody Blues, and America. http: //SBPRA.com/StuartJarodHinchliffe

Book Description
The Black Moth (1921) is a historical romance novel by Georgette Heyer. Initially devised as a series of stories for her younger brother Boris, who suffered from hemophilia, The Black Moth became Heyer’s debut novel following its discovery by her father, who recognized its merits and sought publication. Published in Britain and the United States, The Black Moth was a commercial success that launched the career of one of twentieth-century England’s most popular writers of fiction. Set during the Georgian era of the 1750s, the story follows Lord Jack Carstares, a disgraced nobleman who turns to a life of crime after taking the blame for his brother’s persistent dishonesty at cards. Branded a cheater and a thief, Jack briefly flees England before returning under the name of Sir Anthony Ferndale. Forced into the shadows, he becomes a highwayman notorious for robbing the carriages of the rich. Following his father’s death and his brother’s ascent to the head of the family estate, Jack is caught while robbing the carriage of a man who turns out to be Miles O’Hara, an old friend and Justice of the Peace. Arrested, Jack is forced to reveal his identity, and is promptly forgiven. Retaining his disguise and unready to rejoin the social life of England’s elite, Jack becomes embroiled in a scandal involving the abduction of Miss Diana Beauleigh, whom he rescues from the wicked Duke of Andover. Unable to remain anonymous for much longer, Jack is pulled by his innate goodness toward the friends and family he has long since left behind, allowing him one last chance at redemption. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Georgette Heyer’s The Black Moth is a classic work of English historical romance reimagined for modern readers.

But Etta has plans of her own--and their beloved matriarch, Aunt Viv, has Etta's back.
