Daddy and Me by Daniel Bulger

From a friend on facebook comes the story a son wrote some two years ago about his relationship with his father. Daniel was just 7 years old when he wrote this (with some editing and formatting assistance from his father Michael) story of his life with his father. It is funny, touching, and definitely worth spending the money on to show your children how the relationship between a father and son should be. Whatever your relationship is with your children and/or parents, this book will surely show what a good relationship should be within the family unit. It's a touching story that all families could learn a lesson from.

Title: Gabriel’s Redemption (Gabriel’s Inferno Series #3)

Publisher: Penguin Berkley

Summary:

From the author of the New York Times bestsellers Gabriel’s Rapture and Gabriel’s Inferno comes the epic conclusion to the captivating romantic trilogy.

Professor Gabriel Emerson has left his position at the University of Toronto to embark on a new life with his beloved Julianne. Together, he’s confident that they can face any challenge. And he’s eager to become a father.

But Julianne’s graduate program threatens Gabriel’s plans, as the pressures of being a student become all consuming. When she is given the honor of presenting an academic lecture at Oxford, Gabriel is forced to confront Julianne about the subject of her presentation—research that conflicts with his own. And in Oxford, several individuals from their past appear, including an old nemesis intent on humiliating Julia and exposing one of Gabriel’s darkest secrets.

In an effort to confront his remaining demons, Gabriel begins a quest to discover more about his biological parents, beginning a chain of events that has startling repercussions for himself, Julianne, and his hope of having a family.

Review: 
Gabriel's Redemption, the final in The Gabriel Inferno series, is, like all the stories before, perfect in every sense of the word. If you loved the previous stories of the Professor and Julianne, then you will most certainly love this as well. Loaded with love, passion and intrigue, Gabriel's Redemption is a book the reader cannot put down. The entire trilogy is well worth taking the time to read and become lost in the world of Professor Gabriel Emerson and the love of his life, Julianne Mitchell. A definite 5 star rating from this reader!

Bio: 
I'm interested in the way literature can help us explore aspects of the human condition - particularly suffering, sex, love, faith, and redemption. My favourite stories are those in which a character takes a journey, either a physical journey to a new and exciting place, or a personal journey in which he or she learns something about himself/herself.

I'm also interested in how aesthetic elements such as art, architecture, and music can be used to tell a story or to illuminate the traits of a particular character. In my writing, I combine all of these elements with the themes of redemption, forgiveness, and the transformative power of goodness.

I try to use my platform as an author to raise awareness about the following charities: Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Foundation, WorldVision, Alex's Lemonade Stand, and Covenant House. For more information, see my Twitter account.

Double Cover Reveal from Kristie Cook, author of the best selling series The Soul Savers

It's a double-cover reveal (and a sale!) for author Kristie Cook's The Book of Phoenix series! The cover of The Space Between (Book 1) has been made-over, and we're sharing for the first-time ever, the title and cover for Book 2 (see below).

THE SPACE BETWEEN

New Adult Paranormal Romance

First installment of the Book of Phoenix series.

When Life Falls to Pieces, Answers Lie in the Space Between

Leni Drago can't make a smart decision on her own, according to her mother anyway--the few times she's tried resulted in disaster. When her uncle sends her on a dance tour in Italy to find her real self, she returns to an empty home and any evidence of his existence wiped out. Then things get even stranger, like the mysterious appearances of Jeric Winters--inked, pierced and a hit-'em-and-quit-'em type. He's one decision that should be easy for Leni. Or is he?

Jeric doesn't do girlfriends. Unless they're someone else's. He left the fighting cage and modeling for a reason, and girls who want more than a night of fun are distractions he doesn't need. Especially when they come with as much baggage as Leni carries. But he can't shake the gut feeling that he needs to know her. All of her.

To discover the truth behind their connection and their ties to a journal from 1989, they must face painful secrets from their pasts. And they must do so quickly because their own existences are falling to pieces.

This first part of The Book of Phoenix takes you on a heart-wrenching ride as you discover the answers that lie in The Space Between.

THE SPACE BEYOND 

(Working Description)

In this second installment of The Book of Phoenix series, Leni and Jeric are (re)learning their roles as the Phoenix Guardians and becoming the leaders they once were while taking on their first mission - guiding a Separated soul to the Gate. But that soul has her own issues, including supporting her sister and their deathly ill parent while dealing with an ex who doesn't want to be an ex anymore and a budding romance with a guy who could be her saving grace...or her fatal end. The last thing she needs right now is a couple of psychos trying to convince her that she'll never find her soul's other half except through them. What does that even mean, anyway? And why on Earth should she trust them when they don't even trust each other?

Coming March 2014

To celebrate, The Space Between is on sale for only 99c through January 1, 2014! Get it here:

Featured Author A.L. Jambor

Author of But the Children Survived and the Pello Island Series. A.L. Jambor lives on the west coast of Florida with her husband, Hans.

 Amy Jambor was born in New Jersey. When she was young, she moved to Pennsylvania and in Connecticut, but in1965 she returned to New Jersey. When she was a teenager, she worked in her parents' Carvel Ice Cream store in Spring Lake Heights, New Jersey. On those hot summer nights, Amy and her friends fell in love with the music of Bruce Springsteen and would go to the Stone Pony to hear The Boss and the E Street Band play. To this day, her fondest memories are of taking her children to the same places she went to, such as the boardwalk in Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey, where her parents met in 1938.

All her life, her imagination was working overtime. She started writing while she was in high school, but when she had children, she didn’t write at all. She spent those years collecting life experiences that she has used to infuse her characters with real emotions and situations. During those years, she satisfied her creative urges by cross-stitching intricate patterns or sewing dresses for Barbie and her pals. She never stopped dreaming, though, and one day, while she imagined her granddaughter running down the hallway of her mobile home carrying her little dog, Trixie, But the Children Survived was born.

With the encouragement of a good friend, she finished But the Children Survived and published it under the name A.L. Jambor on Amazon.com. It got good reviews. That experience gave her the courage to do write another book, Pello Island Cassia, the first book in a series. Now her muse won’t let a day go by without inspiring her to bring her characters to life.

Margaret's Choice, Book One of the Tresterian Chronicles is the first book she has written under the name Amy Jambor.

Amy lives in Florida now with her husband, Trixie, and a cat named Sammy. She loves to hear from her readers. Please take some time to write to her at woofiepublication@gmail.com, or visit her on Facebook and Twitter. She also had a website featuring all the books she's written.

News of the next story from the author of Gabriel's Redemption, Sylvain Reynard's The Raven!!!

Dear Everyone,

Back in September, I wrote a post in which I mentioned my next novel. I'm pleased to be able to give you more information now.

My next novel is the first in a new series, and it will be entitled The Raven.  With this novel, I'm asking you to pack your bags and travel with me to the city of Florence. The Gabriel Series showed you the city during the day.  This time, I'll show you Florence's underworld, which is ruled by creatures of the night …

Here's the formal announcement:

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Gabriel Series comes a dark, sensual tale of romance in a city shrouded in mystery…

Raven Wood spends her days at Florence’s Uffizi Gallery restoring fine works of Renaissance art.  But an innocent walk home after an evening with friends changes her life forever. When she intervenes in the senseless beating of a homeless man, his attackers turn on her, dragging her into an alley.  Raven is only semi-conscious when their assault is interrupted by a cacophony of growls followed by her attacker’s screams.  Mercifully, she blacks out, but not before catching a glimpse of a shadowy figure who whispers to her …

Cassita vulneratus.

When Raven awakes, she is inexplicably changed.  She returns to the Uffizi, but no one recognizes her and more disturbingly, she discovers that she’s been absent an entire week.  With no recollection of the events leading up to her disappearance, Raven also learns that her absence coincides with one of the largest robberies in Uffizi history – the theft of a set of priceless Botticelli illustrations. When the baffled police force identifies her as its prime suspect, Raven is desperate to clear her name. She seeks out one of Florence’s wealthiest and elusive men in an attempt to uncover the truth about her disappearance.   Their encounter leads Raven to a dark underworld whose inhabitants kill to keep their secrets …

As I mentioned in my September post, readers of Gabriel's Redemption will be able to read an excerpt from The Raven at the end of both the paperback and e-book editions.

But what I didn't mention was that one of the characters of The Raven appears in Gabriel's Redemption.  Can you identify him or her? I welcome your guesses in the comments below and on social media.

I would be remiss if I didn't mention that there's a connection between The Gabriel Series and my new series - a connection that is more than simply me, or the city of Florence, or the Uffizi Gallery. If you've read the cover copy above carefully, probably you're beginning to guess the answer. But I'll be explicit and state that we won't be saying goodbye to the Professor and Julianne at the end of Gabriel's Redemption. Look for them to have cameo appearances in The Raven as well ...

While I don't have a release date for The Raven yet, I hope to have one soon. This novel marks my transition from a contemporary love story to a paranormal one. I hope you'll join me on this journey and that if you have friends and family who enjoy paranormal novels, you'll help me share the news with them.

As we approach the December 3rd release date of Gabriel's Redemption in North America, my American publisher has listed a giveaway of the novel on Goodreads.  US entrants can enter the contest  here.

And if you'd like to read a new excerpt from Gabriel's Redemption and enter another contest, you can do so here at Romance Times.

Finally, I want to wish everyone who is celebrating Thanksgiving this week a very happy holiday. I have much to be thankful for and in particular, I'm thankful for you, my readers.

All the best and thank you for your continued support,

SR
