Glynis Smy Announces New Title

Author Glynis Smy is pleased to announce the release of her new historical romance novel, Maggie’s Child.

Farmer’s wife Maggie Sawbury becomes pregnant after an extra-marital affair. She knows her joyless life is not one a child should endure, and she leaves the baby at the roadside. Her money-driven, violent husband sends her out as a wet-nurse, unaware the position comes with a secret. One that frightens, and yet brings joy to Maggie.

Years later the possibility of incest threatens to open old wounds, and Maggie has decisions to make. If she tells, it will bring down three families. Equally, her silence could be destructive. A confession changes her life, and a death brings about another secret.

Maggie’s Child was released in December 2012 by Anastasias Publishing Europe and is currently available from Amazon.com and Amazon UK.

Sneak Peek: Heather Skye Wilson Is the Psychic Warrior

Heather Skye Wilson Is the Psychic Warrior
by T.D. McKinnon

2087: Twelve year old Heather Skye Wilson, psychically gifted child protégé, daughter of two of the world’s leading diplomats for ‘World Unity’, is abducted by terrorists. The traumatic experience, acting as a catalyst, launches her into her ‘Control Point’ – a phase of psychic development, where she encounters Ewan MacGreggor, 10th century Highland warrior and Clan Chief: her first incarnational contact – helping to save her life.

Coming to terms with growing up, physically and emotionally, while connecting with an increasing number of her incarnations and struggling with her psychic development, Heather is drawn progressively into the ‘World Unity’ cause: emissary, diplomat and, eventually, special agent.

This is an action-packed, multi-dimensional, speculative-fiction, thriller that spans the globe and the ages.

Heather Skye Wilson Is the Psychic Warrior is available through Amazon.com, Amazon UK, Barnes & Noble and other online bookstores.

Delancey Stewart Announces New Title

Author Delancey Stewart is pleased to announce the release of her new collection of short stories, Through a Dusty Window.

Through a Dusty Window is a collection of ten short stories spanning a century of lives inhabiting one New York City brownstone on the Upper West Side. They are the culmination of the author’s experience in that city, during which she wondered constantly who had occupied her apartment before her, and what stories they might have lived.

Ten vignettes offer historical perspective on real events from Prohibition to World War II; the Vietnam-era Summer of Sam killings to John Lennon’s murder. Through a Dusty Window allows us to be voyeurs, seeing the fascinating lives of others as they experience the history that New Yorkers today hear whispers of around every corner.

Through a Dusty Window was released on November 15, 2012 and is currently available from Amazon.com and Amazon UK.
