Release Blitz & Giveaway: Old Cravings by @ScaryJarrett #promo #paranormalromance #releaseday #giveaway #rabtbooktours @RABTBookTours

 

 


Paranormal Romance

Date Published: April 1, 2021

Publisher: Literary Wanderlust



Veterinarian Piper is pragmatic enough to know her marriage wasn't working, which is why she left Dylan a year ago and pretends it hasn't hurt like hell every day since. Then Dylan calls out of the blue and tells her to come right away for an animal emergency. Piper arrives on the ranch that used to be her home to find her horse savagely killed. She can't fathom what could have done it. One thing, however, is obvious. Piper still loves Dylan.

Dylan isn't over Piper, not by a long shot. After her horse was ripped apart by something he's pretty sure wasn't a bear, it feels so good to hold Piper in his arms again. If only they could find a way to undo the mess that drove them apart.

An epic blizzard hits, trapping Piper and Dylan on the ranch for what just might be their one chance at reuniting. But as things get a whole lot scarier, it's clear something evil has brought them together.

Hunted by the supernatural, they must fight for their lives, but can they also fight for their love?


Excerpt

Piper’s ex-husband peered at her wound, his breath warm on her thigh. It was strange that it was strange to have him touch her. This man knew every last inch of her body intimately, had taken it many times, owned it as only a husband could. His hands all over her had once been natural. Now it was thrilling in its strangeness—familiar and forbidden all at once.

He looked up at her with those hazel eyes, and her breath caught. For several heartbeats, they stared at one another until she cleared her throat. “I don’t like waiting here like sitting ducks.” Waiting for—no, she didn’t want to think of that now. She didn’t want to think of it ever again.

I know. But this barn is new and well-built. Everything is locked up tight.” He bent once more to inspect the scratch. “We’re going to need more guns and way more ammo, too.”

Book Tour & Book Review: The Problem at Wisteria Gardens #blogtour #bookreview #giveaway #middlegrade #mystery #rabtbooktours @RABTBookTours @PublishingAcorn

 

 

A Pekin Dewlap Mystery

Middle Grade Mystery

Date Published: 3/9/21

Publisher: Acorn Publishing



The ghost haunting Wisteria Gardens Antiques appears to be a charming and loving mother who can’t stand the thought of being separated from her son.

But appearances can be deceiving.

The Ghosties are moved by her expression of devotion, until they discover the truth. Her attachment to the real world has nothing to do with love.

As the teen ghost hunters struggle with the case, Althea’s determination to stay threatens their very lives. Will Pekin, Scout, and Amber convince the ghost to move on before it's too late?





Review
Charming. These characters show great friendship and a connection that just jumps off the pages. I loved their journey together. They played off each other perfectly. Great teamwork! 
Pekin and friends are so hilarious. They kept me giggling. 
Great mysteries for young readers with a fun cast of characters and spooky fun. 



About the Author

Pam got a late start in writing, but has made up for it with several published novels and at least one more on the way. A serendipitous conversation with a writer friend launched her literary career, and the fact that she might never have had that particular conversation is enough to make her believe that fate played a hand in sending her down her best path. She’s lived in Southern California most of her life and is thankful to have a loving family and supportive friends. Spending time at home during the COVID pandemic has advanced both Pam's writing and her relationship with her My Cat From Hell TV star, Allie, who manages to exude just enough affection to make her scary feral ways tolerable.

Book Blitz & Giveaway: Healing from Within by @LindenmuthWendi #promo #nonfiction #selfhelp #spirituality #rabtbooktours @RABTBookTours

 

 


A Chakra and Ho’oponopono Healing Guidebook

Non-fiction/NewAge/Spiritual/Meditation

Date Published: March 3, 2021

Publisher: Healing Forward



Discover the Healing Power of Chakras and Ho’oponopono

Healing From Within is a powerful healing guidebook that teaches you how to connect your body, mind, and spirit at a deeper level using chakras, the ancient Hawaiian practice of Ho'oponopono, and journaling. When you implement these tools into your daily life, you will accelerate your emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual growth and healing.

Wendi shares her personal healing journey with multiple chronic illnesses and pain and how these three healing tools profoundly transformed her health and life. Through her experience, she created this book with simple and useful tools to empower you to optimize your own health and energy.

Each chapter focuses on one of the seven chakras and ways to nourish them for proper balance in all areas of your life. It also includes engaging self-reflective assignments, meditation, and when and how to use Ho’oponopono. With the combination of chakras, Ho'oponopono, and journaling, you can solve challenges in your life and health and find the answers you have been searching for.


Praise for Healing from Within

When I saw the title for this book, I wondered, “Really? Another Chakra book?” I’ve read many of these and found them the same with the exception of the cover. Yet, “Healing from Within: A Chakra and Ho’oponopono Healing Guidebook” really IS different from all the rest.

This is not just another chakra book. Wendi Lindemuth wrote this text based on her own lessons learned and real-life application by overcoming a serious illness. Her book is more than a step-by-step guide; it’s roadmap allowing the reader to make choices based on their personal situation. If feeling lonely or depressed, or there are physical issues present, the reader can find which Chakra to address and get back on track.

The author combined three important resources to help the reader empower their physical, energetic, cognitive, and spiritual health. The key element of journaling allows the reader to be their own practitioner, capturing their present state and making informed adjustments for their own personal care.

I recommend this book; it is an easy read. Yet, if a person wants positive change, they must be willing to take action. Ms. Lindemuth created a resource for the reader to empower themselves.

- Anthony M. Davis

Wendi Lindenmuth's Healing from Within offers a simple, self-paced introduction to chakra meditation and the Hawaiian practice of Ho'oponopono. The author describes how she combines chakra meditation, Ho'oponopono and journaling to manage chronic pain.

This is a book to be revisited frequently and comfortably, as you revisit and realign energy as it moves throughout the body.

The reader is invited to look within and acknowledge what is out of balance whether it be physical, emotional or spiritual with the intent to improve rather than punish or criticize. The alignment of chakras is combined with the Ho'oponopono living principles that can be invoked as needed throughout life's changing circumstances. These four statements of Ho'oponopono are used to clear away any negative obstructions.

I'm sorry.

Please forgive me.

Thank you.

I love you.

By thinking or repeating these statements, the reader with developing familiarity and trust in the principles of Ho'oponopono. The sensation of refreshing peace is a soothing and welcoming reward that will deepen with time and practice.

Josie Donahue Hermes, L.Ac.

Wendi offers an easy-to-follow, action-oriented book to get you into a spiritual practice of chakra and Ho'oponopono. Learn how to apply these two modalities and easily fit them into your current routine and lifestyle. The chakra artwork is Wendi's original artwork. You will feel the love and compassion that Wendi infuses into her books. This isn't just another do as I say book. Wendi practices what she teaches. You'll have an understanding of the focus and meaning of each chakra including the parts of the body, crystals, color therapy, and essential oils to apply to healing with chakras.

If you're new to Chakras or Ho'oponopono you'll appreciate the ease in which you can learn about these modalities.

I wish I would have had this book when I first started my spiritual journey. :)

Review
Without giving the story away, I'll be quick and easy. Sometimes authors are just authors, and write and you can't tell one author from the other. This author, on the other hand, has a style. It's fast and relaxed at the same time. I don't know how he does it, but it's smooth and enjoyable. Along with being a great writer, the story line here is spot on. I immensely enjoyed everything about this book, it makes for a very high action and enjoyable ride.

Fonzaso Italy, between two wars

Nina Argenta doesn’t want the traditional life of a rural Italian woman. The daughter of a strong-willed midwife, she is determined to define her own destiny. But when her brother emigrates to America, she promises her mother to never leave.

When childhood friend Pietro Pante briefly returns to their mountain town, passion between them ignites while Mussolini forces political tensions to rise.

Review

I was blown away by this book. It intrigued me from the blurb, captivated me from the first chapter, and held my attention and pulled at my heartstrings the entire way through.

Jennifer Anton brings us not just a complete story, but complete and so deep and developed characters that you are engaged by them from the start. These people really speak to the reader. You are so invested in them that they bring you to tears.

Fabulous piece of writing that I am better for having read.

Self-Help/Non Fiction

Date Published: 2/7/21

Publisher: Great Success Books



Do you feel a nudge from within to realize and live your full potential but do not know where to start? In the most amazing way, you have already begun your adventure. You are capable of a great deal more than you give yourself credit for.

What you need now is a little hand-holding and then you can enable yourself in reaching for the stars. This wonderful book was written specifically for you in mind. What you foremost need is the belief that you were meant for greatness and that you can achieve anything that you desire.

This indispensable guide will take you on a journey of self-discovery, changing your mindset, figuring out your dreams, and giving a voice to your passions. Once there, you’ll begin to set goals and start to attain them one-by-one. The author will stay with you at each step of the way and show you how it’s done.



Excerpt

From introduction

Do you feel a burning desire to be the very best you can but don’t know exactly how or where to begin the process? Do you know for certain that God created you for greatness and yet are afraid to walk out your true destiny? Do you have goals and dreams but lack the motivation, resources, training, or coaching to move forward? Have you accomplished a measure of success but still want more from your life? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you are certainly not the only one.

There are indeed a countless number of women who share these same sentiments and are reduced to living lives considerably below their full potential. They often feel stuck in an inescapable cycle of mediocrity, having a desire to be their very best but subconsciously settling for substantially less. They live an “average” life, finding solace while existing at the top of the bottom or the bottom of the top, not excellent, “just enough.” Either way, they gravitate to a place of comfort, following the path of least resistance.

Review
This is just a quick, light read if you don't want to work too hard and can enjoy a little romance. 
Because there are many stories in this collection, you can easily come back to it as you have time. 
I liked some of the stories better than others for sure, which is always going to be the case, but I think was a wonderfully put together anthology. 
I was not familiar with all of the authors, so that gives me a chance to go back and check out some of their other work now!
