Mila Ali's fiance Warren is killed in a corporate plane crash. Grief wraps around her heart and soul - cushioning her to the outside world and the reality that is now her life. Warren had been many things to her: friend, lover, and even a part-time savior. After spending too many years working too many hours for a large corporation, Mila was able to let go and love Warren, even at the expense of losing her traditional Somalian father's favor.
Nothing could have prepared her for such a devastating loss, yet the fragile bubble she has built around her heart is shattered when Mila comes face to face with Blake Baldwin - billionaire, womanizer, Warren's boss...and the owner of that fateful airplane.
Blake Baldwin is too handsome for words, with a body that could melt hearts and a piercing stare that cut through Mila's every defense. The encounter seems to ignite a fascination in the enigmatic billionaire, one that sends him to the beautiful Somalian's door again and again....
Mila is not looking for love - been there, done that, but Blake will not rest until Mila Ali is his. He thrusts her into a frenzy of confusion, deception, and passion. Blake just may be the bandage Mila's wounded heart and neglected body needs, or he could be the biggest heartbreak of all.

Children will find new
friends in the Communication Animals, stars of the new Character Education
Heroes Series. Fara the Convincing Fox, Eddie the Supporting Elephant, and
others will inspire kids to have positive self-esteem, practice effective communication,
and cultivate core values.
“Children have been the focus
of my life’s work, and I am passionate about giving them the tools to make good
life decisions, communicate effectively, and be good problem solvers. When they
are taught the curriculum, many elementary-age students can identify
communication styles just as well as my former law students,” explains Dr.
Tamara A. Fackrell, author of the series.
Dr. Fackrell has a PhD in marriage,
family, and human development and is also an award-winning attorney-mediator
who has been practicing in the family law arena for over twenty years. A
popular keynote speaker for workshops and national conferences, Dr. Fackrell
focuses on effective communication and conflict resolution in relationships. During her time as a professor at the J. Reuben Clark Law
School, she broke down the concepts of complex problem solving for her law
students. One day, she had an aha moment: if she could break these concepts
down to their simplest forms, she could teach them to children.
Dr. Fackrell developed the six
Communication Animals to teach problem-solving methods in a simple way, and she
began presenting the curriculum in the classrooms of her own six children. She also
received a grant to support undergraduate and law students in teaching the
curriculum to thousands of youth throughout Utah. Many children are able to
recall all six Communication Animals after just one lesson.
After a twenty-year journey,
Dr. Fackrell’s dream is coming true: her curriculum will be available in book
form for every child to have at home. She and her creative team, illustrator
Rylee Witbeck and designer Celeste Tuttle, have been collaborating to create an
unforgettable adventure for each child. The books are interactive, with a
treasure hunt and engaging illustrations on every page. Most importantly, each
book includes an individualized character-building plan, so children can develop
specific strategies for their needs.
The goal of the series is for
children to identify their own natural communication style and then to
integrate the positive traits of the other five styles when appropriate. The
book series also gives parents, children, and teachers terms to use when talking
about problem solving and communication—terms such as self-soothing, ghost
conflicts, and the listening pattern.
Studies show that children who learn social skills when young have better
well-being as adults across multiple domains such as education, employment, and
mental health.
Dr. Fackrell has launched a
funding campaign on Kickstarter to raise funds through pre-orders of the books
for the printing of the first three books of the series.Parents and teachers from around the world
are being welcomed to participate in this campaign by making generous pledges
and donations to make a difference for children around the world.

About the Author Do you love weird, paranormal stories?
GREAT, because I’ve got plenty of them to tell.
I can help you journey into the unknown and discover the hidden, yet awesome world out there that most people either don’t see, or don’t want to see.
I’ve been exploring that world unofficially since the first Poltergeist movie, and I haven’t lost that love for the paranormal since— that’s why I write about it.
That’s right, I’m a paranormal fiction writer.
But what sets me apart from other paranormal fiction writers out there is… I actively explore the fascinating hidden world around us through meditation and other practices, like Reiki and chanting. I also work with crystals. These things are part of my world, both real and fictional, and I love sharing them.
I hope that, much like I felt after reading Christopher Pike’s work, you’ll feel inspired to explore the weird side of life by getting lost in one of my novels.
Who am I? My name’s Jamie White. Aside from being obsessed with all things paranormal and writing about that in my fiction novels I’m also a journalism geek.
Before following my ultimate obsession into fiction writing I was an editor of multiple college publications, and interned at a major newspaper. You could say words have accompanied me for a long time.
During leisure times, I would role play Buffy the Vampire Slayer and write song spoofs based on that and other things. The fiction bug was biting, but it really got me when I went to my first writing club meeting on a whim (the lesson? Listen to that inner voice).
I had some much fun writing that first story, I kept going. And within a year, I had the insane idea to try and write a whole novel in a month. Yes, I was questioning my sanity.
Luckily, the muse was with me and her story, “The Life and Times of No One in Particular,” was born. Since then, I have been published by Pagan Writers Press, had a short featured in an anthology, won a library essay contest, and have several more projects coming, including the re-release of the Stains books and my new Lightworker series.
On the weird side, I go to crystal classes, chanting classes, give tarot readings, and became a level II Reiki practitioner in February 2015. I'm taking a wild journey, and I'd love for you to join me. Fiction and the unknown? Works for me. My Thoughts Fiona has always been haunted my her past, but not in the traditional sense. With Fiona, it's her past lives that come back to terrorize her. First, it's only dreams and visions. Later, a shocking attack almost ends her life before it begins. Yet, despite all her troubles, Fiona has finally made peace with her past. She's married with a child, and everything should be perfect. Only, its not. The same person who tried to take her life once before has returned in a different form. Fiona finds herself torn between love and fear. With the help on her husband, she hopes to find a way to move on and break the chain of violence that has haunted her for centuries. The Stains series is a thrilling set of novellas that delves into the possibility of reincarnation, soul-mates, and physic abilities. This third installment was amazing, and shows us how the Universe always finds a way to balance out our karma. It's a fast paced story with characters that are well-developed. The scenes are vivid , and the emotion seeps off the page. Anyone who enjoys a quick paranormal read will definitely love this story.

Illusion, Dark Musicals, The Second Act is complete and in the hands of my editor. We are hoping for an October release. Here is a little about the new title:
Rebecca Hope-Patko and her husband, Lord Justyn, are living
their dream. After a successful stint on Broadway, the super couple are heading
down under for a special showing of Phantom Returns, where their son Erik will
join them for his professional debut.
As soon as their plane touches down, they discover that a
serial killer is stalking Melbourne. At the theater, a strange series of
accidents leaves Rebecca fearing for the safety of her family. Could the two be
connected? Rebecca struggles to unravel the mystery while coping with
insecurities about her career which cause tension between her and Justyn.
It’s clear a very real Phantom is lurking among them, but
Rebecca is no kid anymore. She’s tired of the villain getting the upper hand.
This time, Rebecca is setting the trap. This opera diva will put her life and
her marriage on the line to shatter the illusions surrounding Queen’s Theater,
and stop the serial killer before they can strike again.
To celebrate the upcoming release of Illusion, I'm giving away Phantom, Dark Musicals Trilogy Book 1, for FREE on Amazon for a limited time. See how Rebecca and Justyn's story began, and catch up on the whole series before the new book hits virtual shelves.
The "Phantom" was a musical phenomenon that Rebecca had always found enchanting. She had no idea that her life was about to mirror the play that was her obsession. When her high school drama club chooses "Phantom" as their annual production, Rebecca finds herself in the middle of an unlikely love triangle and the target of a sadistic stalker who uses the lines from the play as their calling card. Rebecca lands the lead role of Christine, the opera diva, and like her character, she is torn between her two co-stars-Tom the surfer and basketball star who plays the lovable hero, and Justyn, the strangely appealing Goth who is more than realistic in the role of the tortured artist. Almost immediately after casting, strange things start to happen both on and off the stage. Curtains fall. Mirrors are shattered. People are hurt in true phantom style. They all seem like accidents until Rebecca receives notes and phone calls that hint at something more sinister. Is Justyn bringing to life the twisted character of the phantom? Or in real life are the roles of the hero and the villain reversed? Rebecca doesn't know who to trust, but she knows she's running out of time as she gets closer and closer to opening night. Only when the mask is stripped away, will the twenty-first century phantom finally be revealed.
