Book Description
Paul Di Filippo delivers a thrilling and thought provoking adventure through the multiverse in Vangie’s Ghosts, a compelling science fiction novel about one girl with extraordinary powers. Three-year-old Vangie is mute and unresponsive. She shows no interest in the people or world around her, much to the frustration of her callous foster parents. Little do they know, Vangie is otherwise occupied observing “ghosts”—an infinite number of versions of herself, in an infinite number of parallel universes. When a tornado hits their trailer and Vangie is severely injured, she makes a desperate leap into another timeline where she survives the tornado, but her foster parents do not. So begins a life of shuttling through various foster homes, cultivating her abilities to seek out alternate timelines, and making jumps calculated to better her circumstances in order to avoid the exploitation of adults who seek to harness her powers for their own means. Vangie never communicates with her avatars, until one day the “Council”—a group of Vangies—appear to her and warn her of an ominous, growing threat in the multiverse: a man they call the Massive. And thus begins an epic conflict, spanning millennia and worlds, in a brutal effort to control the fate of the multiverse. Vangie’s Ghosts is Paul Di Filippo at the height of his imagination and versatility, filled with compelling characters who play captivating roles in a story where the stakes are nothing less than existence itself.

Book Description
A fierce, protective rancher. A woman on the run from her father’s shadowy past. Cam’s Hope, Book Ten, MacLarens of Boundary Mountain Historical Western Romance Series Camden MacLaren is a rancher to his core, working long hours to continue the success of the family’s ranch, Circle M. Although a cattleman, his expertise is in training horses, breeding and preparing them to fulfill Army contracts. Yet, he yearned for something more—the love of a woman strong enough for the hard life as a rancher’s wife. Evangeline Rousseau made one adventurous decision in her life. After her parents’ deaths, she’d packed her belongings and moved across country to settle in the frontier town where her best friend lived. Buying her own house and settling in, she found herself wondering how a city girl such as herself could find a future in a town of ranchers, men who made a living with their hands. The attraction between them was immediate, yet Cam hesitated to express his increasing desire for a woman with no knowledge of cattle, horses, or making a living from the land. No matter the intense pull between them, a beautiful, sheltered woman such as Vangie would find little happiness away from the advantages of a town. Cam’s reasons to keep his distance fall away when threats are directed at Vangie. Men from her father’s past are hunting her down, following a trail from Grand Rapids to Conviction. The reason for their search is simple. Collect money Vangie’s father allegedly owed them, and they’ll use any means necessary to get it. Cam’s Hope, book ten in the MacLarens of Boundary Mountain Historical Western Romance Series, is a stand-alone, full-length novel with an HEA and no cliffhanger.

CHALLENGES BUILD CHARACTER “The Lord upholds all those who are FALLING and RAISES UP all those who are bowed down.” (Psalm 145:14 NIV) FALLINGHave you ever felt like you were falling?Have you ever felt like no one was listening and no one cared?Have you ever felt that living was so unbearable that the only way to stop the pain was to end your life?Maybe you are feeling this right now. Years before I accepted Jesus as my Savior, I experienced the most painful, difficult, and darkest time of my life. Things were so unbearable that it took every ounce of energy I had just to survive. I became severely depressed, fell, and hit rock bottom, attempted to commit suicide, and ended up strapped in the Psychiatric Unit. RAISES UP God can raise us up without us even realizing it is happening. God started to raise me up while I was still a patient at the hospital ironically leading a “life changing session”. Shortly after returning home, the Holy Spirit led me to a Christian church which ignited a passion in me to have a relationship with God, study His word and share it with others. God had a plan for me, and He has a plan for you too. Not only did God raise me up but he put it in my heart to write this book and share what I learned. This book is about my testimony as well as others who have fallen through affairs, addiction, divorce, financial difficulties, loss of loved ones, orphanage, and suicide. And beautiful stories of being raised up through family reunions, marriage resolutions, recovered addictions and discovered newfound strengths by having a relationship with God. We want to share with you our stories of God’s goodness and faithfulness. God touched your heart today. There is a story written here that He wants you to read and I pray that you give it a try. God is lovingly waiting to hear back from you.
