A compelling crime drama and poignant love story about a devoted man who must confront the painful legacy of his war torn childhood when he is wrongfully accused of murder.

A series of brief encounters with a soul mate has eased his loneliness and together they come close to uncovering a past major crime, but ultimately he chooses to protect a young witness who could prove his innocence. When he was a child, Michael witnessed appalling abuses of power, including the killing of a missionary priest who refused to betray young Michael. But there was a first love that he left behind in the brutal confusion of war. When she and Michael cross paths once more, they battle to prove his innocence in a foreign, hostile country. Can they solve the mystery before it it too late?
Love is the one thing so many of us desire to have in our lives, and yet, it is the one thing we so often fail to achieve. Sometimes we think we have to do or say something to earn someone's love when what we fail to realize is that love, first and foremost, comes from God. Every kind of love we feel and share with others is a result of our spiritual connection to a power much greater and stronger than all of us.
When reflecting on the nature of this book, I wanted to share many poetic works I have drafted in the realm of love and friendship. I feel they are two sides of the same coin and the very things we need to sustain us and give us life. When it comes to matters of the heart, I have truly had some interesting experiences, so many of which I did not understand, yet the lessons I learned were profound.
The one thing I have learned is that love exists in many different ways and in many diverse forms in the areas of spiritual connections. Through the power of kindred spirits, I have come to feel the kind of love God wants each of us to enjoy and experience. I have heard that it is better to have loved and lost then to have never loved at all, and through the content of this book, you will feel the great power of love in many unique ways.
If you feel a lack of love in your life or feel you have not experienced the power of spiritual love in its greatest form, I sincerely hope you will enjoy this book, Magical Love Messages Between Kindred Spirits, as each chapter contains a special message of love that will transform your life and your connections with those to whom you feel special ties.
After her father remarries, Britt Kelly’s life becomes a cesspit. She lives in her sister’s two-bedroom tenement apartment with her mother, two brothers, and two young nephews. She starts a new high school where she knows no one. And, even when Britt thinks she’s making friends, the church where she studies in is torn down.
Then, the field commanders of The Demon Wars draft her and her friends to aid the four Gargoyle Guardians who fight the demons invading the city of Trebridge. The fate of the city hangs on Britt’s ability to lead and learn enough self-control to manipulate the natural magic of Grace. Meanwhile, she also needs to decide what to do about Cahal, her chemistry lab partner who is as strong as her and may have interests more than just protecting Trebridge.
“There Be Demons” is a continuation of M. K. Theodoratus’ urban fantasy, "Night for the Gargoyles". It tells the tale of Gillen and his team of Gargoyle Guardians as they defend Trebridge while teaching Britt and her friends – the untrained “reinforcements. Along the way, Gillen and Britt learn things about each other to make them stronger both together and alone.
An automobile accident shatters the near-perfect lives of David and Luke Hyatt, identical twins. David survives intact, but Luke nearly dies from his injuries. The residue of Luke’s head injury is an acquired form of Asperger’s. The twins had graduated from medical school and were about to enter an internship at Brier Hospital in Berkeley. Although Luke is gifted with savant-like intelligence, can he continue his career in medicine? Will health professionals, administrators, and patients themselves accept Luke as a physician or succumb to the petty fear of someone different, or is it time for the world to consider the value of an individual beyond his or her label?

The Sword Brothers have won a great victory and the implacable enemy of their order is dead. There is now nothing to stop the Bishop of Riga from marching north and seizing the whole of Estonia. But in the moment of triumph the seeds of future difficulties have been sown, for the bishop’s German crusaders believe that the fight against the pagans has been won and thus there is no reason for them to stay in Livonia. Faced with a lack of holy warriors to complete his task, the bishop is forced to beg the ambitious King Valdemar of Denmark for military aid, a request that will have disastrous consequences.
While he is away Conrad Wolff, now a veteran brother knight of the Sword Brothers, his reputation high among pagans and crusaders alike, is sent to Ungannia whose ruler Kalju is an ally of the Sword Brothers. There a trivial incident escalates into a full-scale war that results in a great barbarian horde sweeping into Livonia and threatening the very existence of the crusader state.
Conrad is sent on a desperate mission to raise a ragtag army to delay the invaders long enough so Riga can summon crusader knights from Germany. Conrad and his companions soon find themselves battling Cumans, Russians, Lithuanians and Danes as their motley force – the Army of the Wolf – takes the field against the many enemies of Livonia.
This, the second volume of the Crusader Chronicles, continues the story of Conrad Wolff and the Baltic Crusade in the first quarter of the thirteenth century.

That is what this report provides - sharing many places you can kiss on your lover's body and tips on ways to tantalize, titillate and seduce your partner's entire body.
What People Are Saying
I thoroughly enjoyed How to Kiss From Head to Toe. Knocked my socks off! There were great techniques that I used on my lover with renewed gusto. Brought back feelings of long make out sessions back in high school when we would lay in each others arms in the cool breeze of the afternoon sun and just kiss and explore. - Pam S

This author gets it. She has written a book that in this readers opinion covers a lost art. We all remember those make out sessions on the couch of our parents house back when we were in high school. Remember how HOT it was well this book brings it all back. There is definitely an art to kissing, not to mention where it can lead. It is nice to know that there are those of us still out there that understand this. I would recommend this book to anyone that remembers the art of kissing and how it feels to be kissed like everyone should be kissed. – “canatve” on Amazon
~*~
This fun little missive serves as a reminder that intimacy is a sacred gift and should be savored and celebrated. The author does a wonderful job in giving vivid examples of how to kiss, and what makes kissing anywhere and everywhere so enjoyable, for both the giver and receiver (and optimally, in many instances, mutual beneficiaries!).
We can all certainly use the occasional loving tap on the shoulder from time to time urging us to turn off the cell phone, turn off the TV and spend all night ‘getting to know your lover all over again’.
What better way to do that than to start with covering their entire body in slow, deliberate, smoldering kisses?
~*~
So, OK. I'm not a true prude. Pretty liberal actually. But I worried that this might booklet might be a bit racey for my blood. I mean, it does carry an "adult content" disclaimer.
Instead I found heartfelt and down-to-earth advice for caring adults. This book isn't big, but it does what it should for those who want (or are in) a loving relationship. I felt I could trust the authors and--truly--I don't think any adult will find anything in it that will make them feel uncomfortable, and many will find a whole lot of ideas to bring some spark to the physical side of love. I mean, elbow kissing? Don't laugh. It's worth a try! Buy it and share it with someone you love. It's sure to get at least a great conversation going!

This book will certainly enlighten many,.... it will certainly get you to rethink and return to an art that too many of us have let slip away from our loving over the years. This book will help you rekindle old practices and add new ones to your partner's delight! - Othniel J. Seiden "Otti"

I never really thought about the benefits of reading a book on kissing. When I read this e-book, I was surprised to find out how little I really knew about how to increase the joy and pleasure of my partner’s and my own satisfaction. An interesting part of the book for me was to learn where to kiss and the responses that your partner receives from those certain areas of the body. The author suggested so many places to kiss that I never even considered. Her tips to a great kiss were very good and helpful. The colorful pictures and larger print made the reading both easier and more enjoyable.

THE SHADOW WATCHERS RETURN!
In Seagrove Village, former Shadow Watcher, Tim, receives a stunning text from his ex-fiancé, Mandy, on their secure phone. She’s in trouble and needs help. Against objections—she’d broken their engagement to marry another man—Tim responds, and discovers NINA, Nihilists in Anarchy, an international terrorist group the Shadow Watchers have faced before, is after the team again. This time, through Mandy.
The breakup had devastated Tim, but what he discovers now forces him to work with Mandy to reveal yet another layer of operatives in the NINA organization. A layer that, for Mandy, strikes close to home and makes her The Marked Bride.
Few are who they seem. Facts are mercurial. And even those fighting this enemy on the Shadow Watchers’ side are withholding vital information that endangers all the Shadow Watchers’ lives, leaving Tim and Mandy wondering. Can they reveal the truth and protect the nation’s interests? Can the team succeed at fighting the enemy and its own side?
When all is done, who will survive? And of the survivors, if Tim and Mandy are among them, will they stand together or be robbed of their future once again and be forced apart forever?

Vetted—a life that neither woman anticipated, but each learns they want desperately.
Will their families, the fates, and rustlers finally bring these women to their knees? The only way they can survive is to stand strong together, but are they both ready to fight for what they want? Only time will tell….
