Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This bundle contains books 4 - 6 of the Diva Delaney Mysteries. Revenge Is Sweet, But Kind Of Sticky: Diva Delaney has had a rough time lately, but things are about to get much worse. Her good friend, Nina Rivers, has a hunch that the psychic medium is in danger. While the witch only has moderate power, everyone in the magical community knows that her instincts are never wrong. Although she is aware that someone means her harm, Diva can’t allow herself to hide away. She has a job to do, even if the work comes in the form of hunting for a missing cat. Thanks to Satan’s unpredictable attacks, she doesn’t particularly trust felines anymore. This isn’t the most glamorous case that she’s ever accepted, but she needs to pay her bills. It isn’t easy to narrow down where the mysterious danger will be coming from. Another case comes up that will put her in jeopardy as she follows the trail of a thief. Then there’s Gillian Farque, Haydn Creighton’s fiancé. The witch is the jealous type and she has her sights set on Diva. Conjurers aren’t allowed to cast magic on normals, but their feud is starting to spiral out of control. The only solution is for Diva to stay away from Haydn, which will be easier said than done since she still owes him so many favors. Karma Is In Dire Need Of Being Spanked: Diva Delaney is in no mood to deal with men after what happened between her and the sheriff. With her curse now finally lifted, she should be free to date, but of course nothing is that easy for her. She is beginning to doubt that she’ll ever find a good man to settle down with. Her next cases will involve stealth, cunning and bravery, three things which the psychic medium lacks completely. Diva will have to force herself to step out of her comfort zone in order to help her clients. Both of her cases will take her out of town, so she won’t have her ghostly sidekicks to assist her in their usual wacky manner. Frankly, that might not be such a bad thing. With the return of Wade and Wyatt Westmore, things are going to become interesting in Hollowood Grove, especially for her cousin, Courtney. Meanwhile, Diva’s main nemesis is driving her to the edge. The wickedly handsome warlock knows how to push her buttons and is an expert at manipulating her into owing him yet more favors. This time, Haydn Creighton might find he’s the one who will need to be rescued from danger. Appearances Can Be Annoyingly Deceiving: Diva Delaney and her grandmother are summoned to the Council of Conjurers headquarters in Boston. This isn’t an invitation that can be denied no matter how much Diva wants to avoid it. Being tested by the councilmembers will drive her to the breaking point, but she won’t be alone during her torment. She will make new friends and allies who will come to her defense. Even in Boston, Diva can’t escape from Haydn Creighton. The warlock seems to be there every time she turns around, taunting her with his wickedly handsome looks and annoyingly smooth charm. Her insidious attraction to him seems to be growing by the day and there’s nothing she can do to stop it. Being a normal living among a family of witches had been hard enough, yet things are even more difficult now that Diva has become a conjurer herself. Her life is becoming increasingly complicated in fact. It’s about to get even worse when she learns the truth about what caused the feud between the Delaney and Creighton Covens. cozy paranormal mystery, cozy mystery, witches wizards warlocks, supernatural occult paranormal, female sleuth, spells magic, ghosts spirits phantoms poltergeist

Life gets complicated for Jane and her Death Diva business when she’s hired to liberate a gaudy mermaid brooch from the corpse during a wake—on behalf of the rightful owner, supposedly.

Download or read book Weird Scenes Inside The Canyon written by David McGowan and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2014-03-19 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The very strange but nevertheless true story of the dark underbelly of a 1960s hippie utopia. Laurel Canyon in the 1960s and early 1970s was a magical place where a dizzying array of musical artists congregated to create much of the music that provided the soundtrack to those turbulent times. Members of bands like the Byrds, the Doors, Buffalo Springfield, the Monkees, the Beach Boys, the Turtles, the Eagles, the Flying Burrito Brothers, Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, Steppenwolf, CSN, Three Dog Night and Love, along with such singer/songwriters as Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins, James Taylor and Carole King, lived together and jammed together in the bucolic community nestled in the Hollywood Hills. But there was a dark side to that scene as well. Many didn’t make it out alive, and many of those deaths remain shrouded in mystery to this day. Far more integrated into the scene than most would like to admit was a guy by the name of Charles Manson, along with his murderous entourage. Also floating about the periphery were various political operatives, up-and-coming politicians and intelligence personnel – the same sort of people who gave birth to many of the rock stars populating the canyon. And all the canyon’s colorful characters – rock stars, hippies, murderers and politicos – happily coexisted alongside a covert military installation.

And she's gonna be your mission from God." "So I'm her babysitter?" "Her babysitter, her bodyguard, her f*cking service doggie. Whatever she needs or wants, that's what you'll be. Anything except her booty call." The vein in my new boss's neck bulged. "Touch her and I'll do more than fire your ass, Zander. I'll rip off your balls." My buddies laughed when I told them about my ridiculous new job. They said, "Three months on a tour with a world famous beauty, glued to her hip, catering to her every whim? A hundred bucks says you're gonna break down and bang her within the first month." But I said nope. No way. Never. "I'm a professional," I said. "Plus, she's not even my type. And I'm just getting over a broken heart. It's never gonna happen." So I put my money where my mouth was, figuring I'd laugh all the way to the bank. I never thought I'd actually fall in love with the girl. Or that she'd become my reason for breathing. The job, the bet, the girl. It was nothing but fun and games . . . until it became dead serious. MISTER BODYGUARD is a standalone, friends to lovers contemporary romance in the MORGAN BROTHERS SERIES from USA Today Bestselling Author Lauren Rowe. The story of Zander Shaw--Keane Morgan's devoted best friend who is an honorary Morgan Brother--and the pop star who brings him to his knees.

Download or read book Hal Wallis written by Bernard F. Dick and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2015-01-13 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hal Wallis might not be as well known as David O. Selznick or Samuel Goldwyn, but the films he produced -- Casablanca, Jezebel, Now Voyager, The Life of Emile Zola, Becket, True Grit, and many other classics (as well as scores of Elvis movies) -- have certainly endured. As producer of numerous films, Wallis made an indelible mark on the course of America's film industry, but his contributions are often overlooked and no full-length study has yet assessed his incredible career. A former office boy and salesman, Wallis first engaged with the business of film as the manager of a Los Angeles movie theater in 1922. He attracted the notice of the Warner brothers, who hired him as a publicity assistant. Within three months he was director of the department, and appointments to studio manager and production executive quickly followed. Wallis went on to oversee dozens of productions and formed his own production company in 1944. Bernard F. Dick draws on numerous sources such as Wallis's personal production files and exclusive interviews with many of his contemporaries to finally tell the full story of his illustrious career. Dick combines his knowledge of behind-the-scenes Hollywood with fascinating anecdotes to create a portrait of one of Hollywood's early power players.

Book excerpt: A #1 New York Times bestseller by Kim Edwards, The Memory Keeper’s Daughter is a brilliantly crafted novel of parallel lives, familial secrets, and the redemptive power of love Kim Edwards’s stunning novel begins on a winter night in 1964 in Lexington, Kentucky, when a blizzard forces Dr. David Henry to deliver his own twins. His son, born first, is perfectly healthy, but the doctor immediately recognizes that his daughter has Down syndrome. Rationalizing it as a need to protect Norah, his wife, he makes a split second decision that will alter all of their lives forever. He asks his nurse, Caroline, to take the baby away to an institution and never to reveal the secret. Instead, she disappears into another city to raise the child herself. So begins this beautifully told story that unfolds over a quarter of a century—in which these two families, ignorant of each other, are yet bound by the fateful decision made that winter night long ago. A family drama, The Memory Keeper’s Daughter explores every mother's silent fear: What would happen if you lost your child and she grew up without you? It is also an astonishing tale of love and how the mysterious ties that hold a family together help us survive the heartache that occurs when long-buried secrets are finally uncovered.
