Book Description
Climate change has been a perplexing problem for years. In Dark Winter, author John L. Casey, a former White House national space policy advisor, NASA headquarters consultant, and space shuttle engineer tells the truth about ominous changes taking place in the climate and the Sun. Casey’s research into the Sun’s activity, which began almost a decade ago, resulted in discovery of a solar cycle that is now reversing from its global warming phase to that of dangerous global cooling for the next thirty years or more. This new cold climate will dramatically impact the world’s citizens. In Dark Winter, he provides evidence of the following: The end of global warming The beginning of a “solar hibernation,” a historic reduction in the energy output of the Sun A long-term drop in Earth’s temperatures The start of the next climate change to decades of dangerously cold weather The high probability of record earthquakes and volcanic eruptions A sobering look at Earth’s future, Dark Winter predicts worldwide, crop-destroying cold; food shortages and riots in the United States and abroad; significant global loss of life; and social, political, and economic upheaval.

Book Description
I should have listened to the snarky ferret. A hilarious Academy Paranormal Romance about parents, shagging, underdogs, and the perfect love potion I thought flunking out of college was the worst thing that could happen. But then my mother's ferret told me I was doomed. I really should have paid more attention. Now I have a boy stalking me through a pewter bowl (don't ask, just know he kisses like fire.) Some dark enchanter is trying to kidnap me to make golden babies. (No, not literally gold.) And apparently I'm supposed to select several members of a -- oh, I better not say it. My dad might be reading this. Let's call it a boy band. With lots of banging. (And probably not on drums.) So it's time to figure this mess out. That my mom did magic. And so can I. And I guess I have to beat the bad guys and save the world. Oh wait. Not the world. Just me. Game on. __ Love Spell is book one in the Love Spell Academy duet but can be read as a standalone. It's a slow burn on the -- ahem -- ensemble cast but fairly fast burn on the first member. Book two would definitely be considered a fast burn on all fronts.

Book Description
Theater director and high school drama teacher Tessa Flowers is still carrying a torch for her old college roommate, Roxy Bright, despite not having seen her in years. When they end up in Provincetown over the winter, Tessa convinces Roxy to help her put on a Shakespeare production. What better way to fan the long-held spark of attraction into the roaring fire of passion? Cue the instant attraction they long to explore. But when Roxy unwittingly saves a stranded mermaid named Mo, things go off script. Mo is tall, curvy, and stunning, with long green hair and absolutely no clue about life on land. Lured into Cape Cod Bay by an evil spell, she cannot return to her true form. In gratitude to Roxy for having saved her, she vows to help Roxy find her true love. This would all be great, except that Mo doesn’t actually know anything about human courtship, and her help creates more problems than it solves. Throw in Tessa’s icy ex, who has the lead role in the play, and the stage is set for a comedy of errors that even the Bard could appreciate.
