Book Description
Curiouser and Curiouser Amy gets the chance to relive a cherished childhood memory. To revisit a beloved movie, and remember a night full of wonder. A solo trip into the past both sweet and melancholy. But sometimes the past makes other plans. What will Amy discover on her unexpected visit to Wonderland? Also available in the collection Stepping Out of Reality An excerpt from Amy in Wonderland: Right On Time for A Most Important Date Amy stepped through the door the White Rabbit held, and she found herself bobbing down into a passable imitation of a curtsey for some bizarre reason. Up close, she couldn’t see a trace of makeup on his white face, or how his constantly twitching whiskers could possibly be attached. “Do be sure and enjoy your refreshments,” he purred. “We made them especially for you.” Even though Amy’s stomach loudly demanded popcorn now that the scent was thick in the air, she headed toward the burgundy velvet curtain leading to the auditorium. She had no desire to get too close to any of the other actors. Unfortunately Tweedledum and Tweedledee had relocated themselves to either side of the entrance, and they each held a silvery tray.

Book Description
Heeding the Signs Mark Hersch enjoys a busy summer in his favorite place: with his grandparents in Hartstown, Virginia. Working, saving for college, learning to drive. Getting to know his family and himself. Then one job brings a shiver of warning. Will Mark and his Papaw recognize the danger before it's too late? A Voices through Time Story Also available in the collection Stepping Out of Reality An excerpt from The Perfect Shade of Haint Blue: Learning to Heed Those Strange Warnings Mark frowned, but a quick little thrill of excitement shot through his belly. The change of pace and scenery was doing him a world of good, especially since he was considering coming right back to Virginia for college in a couple of years. But he wouldn't mind a bit of mystery and adventure to spice things up. "Did something strange happen there, Papaw? At the Hartsock place?" "Well no, I can't exactly say that. It's just... I got an uneasy twinge about you going there is all." Mark's father and everyone else in the family often talked about Papaw's twinges, and hunches, and notions, and even dreams. No one ever made much of a fuss about it that Mark could tell. But they never mentioned thinking those twinges were something it was better to ignore, either.

Book Description
Even Superheroes Hate Renovations Jenna accepts a job that takes confidentiality to the extreme: a major remodel on a minor superhero's lair. The only real secret? How Earth Worm can afford to buy everyone's silence, plus labor, materials, and lodging. Trouble builds on the horizon before the job gets started. Will a minor villain trying to break into the big time undermine them all? An excerpt from Jenna and the Lightning Beast: Staying Grounded in a Strange Situation Kevin laughed. "Nothing usual about being whisked away to a secret location on a secret project, is there? Everyone in the city knows more about what's going on than we do." The others gathered and introduced themselves, adding a Georgia highway department engineer, a plumber, and a home security expert to go with the inspector and insurance agent. And between the eight of them, still no real idea what they were there for. "I know we're not supposed to know," Kim said, "but I'm pretty sure this particular homeowner has to get the whole thing started. I don't see a doorbell we can ring." Jenna leaned forward, trying to peek inside the tinted passenger window of the van that hadn't moved since the motor stopped. "Unless she drove us up here." Everyone jumped at a rich, sultry voice from behind them. "She didn't drive you. Nobody did."

Book Description
A Blizzard of Love A cozy night of reading suits Henry Satterfield just fine as a Christmas Eve blizzard settles in. He hopes no one shows up at the inn to disrupt his solitude. Steve Lake fights the snowbound interstate and changing his plans to get home to Tennessee. The prospect of a warm place for the night eases his disappointment. Zortea the Magic Cat knows best when romantic sparks fly. Will Henry and Steve heed Zortea's sensible advice or miss their chance for happily ever after? Also available in the collection A Kaleidoscope of Cat Tales: Five Stories of Cats and People Who Love Them An excerpt from The Magic Cat of the Hidden Springs Inn and Spa: Exit to the Best Holiday Gift of All Accommodations! Two big chain hotels, both probably booked solid in this storm. Steve squinted, trying to catch the text on a third logo that promised it was only 0.3 miles away. The Hidden Springs Inn and Spa, complete with a cartoon image of steaming hot water. Steve groaned and closed his eyes for a quick second. He didn't care one bit whether that meant a commercial hot tub, a hotel bathtub, or an actual hot spring. He wouldn't mind if the inn cost ten times what any of the chains did. He couldn't think of anything he'd rather do than soak this rotten drive away. He'd call his parents and break the bad news once he was able to pry his fingers loose from the steering wheel. Steve simply couldn't face one more mile in a freak blizzard tonight. "Please, oh please, kind sir. Tell me you have room at your inn for one more wandering soul tonight."

Book Description
In the middle of disaster, impossible strikes Sue Warrell, Systems and Security Chief aboard Expedition Mission Bellagos, fought long and hard for a one-way trip. Protecting the lives of over eight thousand people and the generation ship they call home. As a failed systems update tests Sue and her team to their limits, a crew member’s disappearance pushes disaster into the impossible. Can Sue solve the mystery before the Bellagos passes the breaking point? An exciting race against time and technology! A Dispatches from the Galaxy Novella An excerpt from The Changes Cascade: A Deep Space Disappearance Evans took a deep breath. “Senior Tech McHugh is missing.” “What do you mean, missing? In case you’ve forgotten, this is a deep space vessel, Evans. No one can get in or out.” “I understand, ma’am. I made sure to investigate before I brought this to you. Just like you taught us.” “I also taught you about the geo-sensor, didn’t I?” Sue tapped the tiny bump hidden in the hair above her right ear. “Mr. McHugh is an experienced member of our crew. He would not simply disappear, even if he could.” “Yes, ma’am, the tracking screen was the first thing I checked. Pull it up if you could, please, and we’ll make sure.” Sue’s eyes darted to the crew count, and her whole body flashed hot, then cold and clammy. “Eight thousand seven hundred fifty-three,” she whispered. “That can’t be right. Even if he were dead...” She switched over to the specific report on McHugh, and a deeper chill ran through her. The yellow of Invalid flashed behind his name. Not the normal green that every single other person showed, or the sad black of the deceased that Sue hadn’t yet had to deal with on Bellagos. Not one other person showed that impossible status.

Book Description
Who Rescues Who? George Edwards knows his kids got a great start in life. They prove it every day. But that leaves George struggling to adjust to life without them. Needing to figure out the next part of his own journey. Then one morning, a change he can’t ignore bursts into his life. Will George grab his chance at happiness or let it pass him by? A Lightning Gap Story Also available in the collection Facing Down Extraordinary. An excerpt from Sunny with a Chance of Happiness: An Unexpected Guest, Right on Time George took a deep, nostalgia-laced breath, reached for his socks, and froze. A rustling noise erupted from the trees and brush to his right. Too big to be a squirrel. Not big enough to be a bear, right? Anyway, black bears weren’t likely to be too aggressive this time of year. No brand-new cubs to keep an eye on like back in the early spring. Still, George strained to listen and see, ready to head for the front door in a hurry. He’d heard the rumors about mountain lions still hanging on in an area they were supposedly extinct from. Heard more than a few of those bone-chilling screams in the night, too. When the brush finally parted, he let out a grunt and relaxed a little. Not a bear or any sort of cat after all. A dog burst out into the yard instead.

When You Can't Imagine Saying Goodbye Paul's best friend Sadie lived a life worth celebrating. Bringing safety and comfort to troubled souls. Now Paul faces carrying on her work without her. Wishing to talk to her one more time. Paul never suspects Sadie left a secret just for him. A secret that changes his life forever. Also available in the collection Stepping Out of Reality An excerpt from The Lightning-Struck Wood: Gayle worked her way around to Paul and squeezed tight enough that his spine crackled. He relaxed into her warmth and strength and soothing lavender fragrance. Almost like one final, much-needed hug from Sadie. "I know you've lived up here for a long damn time," Gayle said, "and I still say I don't like you spending tonight alone. One of us can stay, or better yet, you grab your toothbrush and go on a little vacation with us. The gods know you've earned it." Paul shook his head before she let go, and her rueful smile let him know she wasn't surprised. "I appreciate the thought and the invitation, I really do. But this is one of those saying goodbye things, you know? Gotta take my chance to visit with Sadie's spirit while I can."

Book Description
A Lightning Gap Story Kay's Café specializes in comfort. From the greetings to the decor, and especially the food. Kay prides herself on knowing exactly what everybody needs. But some folks need comforting in a different way. One Kay struggles to recreate. Can she figure out how to bring the taste of love itself back to life? Also available in the collection Stepping Out of Reality An excerpt from A Taste Just Like a Hug: That Taste You Never Quite Forget Venus wrapped both hands around the mug and took in a deep breath, and her smile wasn't quite as sad as before. "You'll understand this probably better than anyone else I know," she said, "with the way you specialize in comfort food and how much it matters and all. It's just so sad when someone passes, and they loved making something special that you know you'll never get again." Kay nodded slowly, remembering all the things she'd been lucky enough to learn from her parents and grandparents and aunts and uncles, and a bunch of people she'd met along the way. Not everyone got that chance to learn, or even if they did, the results never were quite right. Some mysterious touch of magic—of love made so real you could touch and smell and taste it—passed away from the world.

Book Description
The Heartbreak of Acceptance Selene Knight fiercely loves and protects her children. Keeping them from too much pain and sadness. Watching her son Arch struggle in silence shatters her own heart. Only trying to get others to fight for him hurts her worse. Can she convince the ones who matter most to accept the truth and help them both? Also available in the collection Fantastic Side Trips: Side Characters Take Center Stage An excerpt from The Difficulties Ahead: Accepting What No One Wants to Admit Moabar met Selene's gaze, but didn't flinch or say a word. "They are not creating the problem, Moabar! It's not imaginary, and it's not any sort of coincidence. This isn't bad luck that swirls around Arch for no reason at all." Her voice broke and grew ragged, but she couldn't stop now that she was finally putting words to the horrible reality. "The bad luck is part of him. He creates it somehow. He can't help it, and he hates it as much as we do, but none of that changes the fact that he cannot escape it." He stared up at her, his blue eyes wide and increasingly miserable. Selene's heart broke for him nearly as much as it did for their son. "I know what you say is true," he said, his voice rough as well. "But I can't bear to think of it. He's a child, Selene. Just a boy. If I can't hold this dreadful thought in my head, how can we expect him to understand?"
