Alexis Thomas finally has her life on track. At 26 she’s a well-respected nurse with a home of her own and great friends. The only downside? She still can’t shake the crush she has for her best friend’s brother, Shane.
Alexis has fantasized about dating Shane since the eighth grade, but she’s finally accepted the fact that Shane will always prefer svelte blondes to her own curvy figure and that it’s time to move on.
That is until Alexis gets volunteered to be part of Shane’s demonstration. Is Shane only toying with her emotions or is he actually interested in something more?
Family isn't whose blood runs through your veins...
In 1948 Post War Australia, teenager and World War II Greek Resistance fighter Zoe Lambros meets Mabel Andrews, a mercurial, cantankerous former World War I Australian nurse. Zoe's introduction to the fiery octogenarian is an explosive mix of sound and fury. Neither woman wants to give ground and they are determined to be proven right. For Zoe, actions speak louder than words and she sets out to uncover the enigma that is Mabel Andrews. Mabel discovers a kindred spirit that leads to an unlikely friendship. Together the two women forge a close bond that will change their lives forever.
The Intertwined Souls In Between Series stories are standalone novels of the award-winning historical lesbian romance Intertwined Souls Series featuring Eva and Zoe Lambros. From war-ravaged Greece to their new home in post war Australia. This novel - in the timeline of the series - sits between Where Shadows Linger (Book 2) and Hidden Truths (Book 3).
An introduction to the concept of Time Travel, to the past and the future. Its paradoxes explored and expanded to their impossible consequences. The book includes a collection of eight speculative tales illustrating why it either cannot work, or it's far too dangerous to even try it.
Most scientists today seem to agree that Time is still a mystery. Also some of the things we do know about it now must seem weird , if not crazy, to the uninformed. For example, it’s a fact that a clock runs faster upstairs than it does downstairs, and a lot faster if you put it up in an Earth Satellite. However, the hard part to accept is the fact that it’s time itself that changes, not the clock. That statement may seem confusing, but atomic clocks on earth and in space have proved it. Our Global Positioning Satellite systems wouldn't give us accurate ground positions if the effect was not adjusted for in the calculations.
This fascinating book explores most of the paradoxes that would occur when time traveling e.g. What would happen to you now, if you had a fatal accident while visiting the past. How about returning slightly earlier many times and bringing back something valuable many times over? How about getting Shakespeare to save time by giving him a copy of his collected works? How about going to the bank with the same dollar bill, and finding everyone in the queue is you too!
The quirky tales illustrating the author's conclusions include:
Time to Survive – The perils of short term travel.
Testing Time – Some trips might be unexpected.
Timely Encounter - How to escape justice..?
Tomorrow the World – If only you could go back..!
Long Term Future – A safer way to proceed, maybe?
It’s Twisting Time – With a replication machine.

Will Joy be able to fight her growing affections for Sam and keep her freedom?
In the heart of a raging blizzard Sheriff Jeff McQuede discovers a woman frozen to death in her car. At first he believes her death to be an unfortunate accident--until he finds clues that point to cold-blooded murder. Margaret's husband, Arthur, left her in the stalled vehicle to brave the storm and manages to reach Joe Trevino's isolated ranch. The case becomes more complicated because of the recent warehouse robberies at Trevino's store. McQueede finds that Trevino is Margaret Burnell's business partner, and that she has traveled from their Casper store to conduct a company audit. In addition, Margaret has planned to meet with her only child, a run-away daughter she hasn't seen in years. Trevino, the missing daughter, and Arthur Burnell would all profit financially from Margaret's demise. Has a relentless killer tracked and sabotaged the Burnells, or did Arthur simply abandon his wife for his share of the money, leaving her to die an icy death?
