Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The brew may be strong, but the secrets are stronger…. Welcome to Globe, Arizona, where the hops are fresh, the competition is frothy, and murder is on tap. The small town is buzzing with the news of the High Country Brewing Competition, an event that promises to stir more than just beer. But when the competition turns lethal and a contestant is found drowned in a vat meant for show, the town’s peaceful façade begins to crumble. Enter Selena, full-time witchy shopkeeper, part-time sleuth, whose knack for reading auras and Tarot cards sets her on the trail of the killer. She has less than two days to unveil the murderer who hides behind a masquerade of friendly faces and handcrafted ales. Every clue, aura, and turn of a Tarot card points Selena deeper into a mystery where jealousy ferments into malice. As Selena navigates through the motley crew of brewers — each with more to hide than their secret recipes — the stakes soar higher than the foam on a pint of IPA. From illicit affairs to shady deals with drug dealers, the suspects’ list grows longer than the beer list at a taproom. And when Selena’s own shop is vandalized, it’s clear that she’s rattling someone’s cage — and that she may be closing in on a truth more bitter than the darkest stout. Pour yourself into a chair and crack open this cozy paranormal mystery, where the clues are as puzzling as an ancient ale recipe and solving the crime is as intricate as brewing the perfect beer. Will Selena uncover the murderer before the last call, or will the killer’s identity remain as elusive as a ghostly whisper among the barrels? In Globe, the truth is just a sip away….

Book excerpt: Her gun was his wake-up call...until her courage stole his heart. In the shattered world that followed the Dying, djinn warrior Omar al-Qadir has only one goal: to eradicate the few humans left. Then he’s shot by lone survivor Olivia Raskin while investigating her isolated ranch. He should kill the dark-haired beauty on sight, but something in her defiant green eyes speaks to a part of his soul he’s done his best to ignore. Instead of ending her life, Omar instead becomes Olivia’s protector, dedicated to keeping her safe from the ruthless outlaw djinn Khalim al-Usar, whose depravities know no bounds. As they’re hunted from one refuge to another, Omar finds unexpected sanctuary in Olivia’s quiet strength and selfless compassion, a tenacious light in the darkness he’s immersed himself in for too long. With their latest haven engulfed in Khalim’s fury, Omar is faced with a choice — cling to the hatreds of the past, or embrace his growing love for the human woman who has reawakened his humanity. To protect her, he’ll have to become the one thing he loathes — a djinn bound to a human Chosen. Torn between duty and desire, Omar must wage the biggest battle of all — against his own fears and prejudices — to claim the soulmate who has released him from the shackles of his own making.

Charity Hughes’s awkward encounter with Shelby Howard, Noah Jenkins’s ex, at his front door certainly qualifies, but as they’re clearing up that sort-of-minor misunderstanding, a new challenge enters Charity’s shop. A witch’s cat familiar pining for the impossible — kittens of her own. The kitty conundrum takes a back seat when a frantic Shelby calls with a rather pointed problem. An ex-fiancé dead on her living room floor, run through with an antique sword. Now the prime suspect, Shelby begs Charity for help to prove her innocence. There’s just one problem. Using magic to solve the case risks outing her as a witch to the public...including Noah. But Charity brings all her somewhat-inconsistent abilities to bear in the investigation, even calling on Milo, the spaniel familiar, to nose around. But it’s the Tarot that cuts through the static toward a culprit who's definitely not an ex-anything. It's someone who opens a whole new kit and caboodle of lies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is your spiritual life more like a fast-food run than an intimate dinner for two?Whether it’s the busy mother’s wish to be Wonder Woman—minus the metal bra—or battles with an exploding hot water heater, or fighting the “Resolutionary War” of New Year’s Day, Mary Pierce understands the dilemmas of being a woman in today’s 24/7 world.

Download or read book Here Hold My Beer written by VJ Dunn and published by HEA Publishers LLC. This book was released on with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stories that will break your funny bone and keep you in stitches...and you won't have to go to the ER! Humor/satire dad book about the dumb things that guys will sometimes do...you know, those decisions that usually start with a trip to the liquor store and end with a trip to the ER. Or to the police station. And almost always to the doghouse. These are "The fish was THIS BIG" stories that are sorta-kinda mostly true. You know those videos where men do things like balance a ladder on a stair railing, use a handcart in place of a spare tire, or light firecrackers and launch them at each others' crotches? Well, this is a compilation of stories such as those where some man somewhere has a moment of sheer stupidity and asks his friends to hold his beer while he tries to kill himself. So if you like to hear those "chill 'round the fire pit, guzzlin' six packs and spittin' tobacco at the flames" kind of stories, this book is for you. DISCLAIMER--Now, because we're dealing with good ol' boys who are common sense challenged and grew up watching Evel Knievel performing jaw-dropping gravity-defying stunts, I have to make the standard cover-our-butts-so-we-don't-get-sued statement: MEN--If you really think you should try some of the stunts in this book, you probably ought to consider finding a sensible woman to marry. Seriously. Or call yo mama before you hand over that beer, dude. WOMEN--If you are a sensible gal who is considering getting into a relationship with a man who has ever said, "Here, hold my beer" just before he tried any similar stunts to those in this book, you may want to call your mama and get some good advice. Or maybe just go out with the girls for a glass or three of wine and meet someone less inclined to life and limb endangerment. Otherwise, count on knowing 911 operators on a first-name basis and spending a lifetime sipping burned coffee out of cardboard cups, while squirming on hard plastic chairs next to sneezing snot-nosed kids and watching ridiculous talk shows in the ER waiting room. You. Have. Been. Warned.
