pleased to announce that Laurie Salzler's new book, Positive
Lightning, is here for your reading pleasure! Faith Hutchins recently lost her sight after a terrible outdoor accident. She's dealt with anger, depression, and her blindness primarily on her own.

On a mission to find someone who will train a dog specifically for her, she ultimately zeroes in on Kate. They
say lightning never strikes the same place twice. But positive lightning

it's here! Rendezvous in the Himalaya,
the gripping sequel to Angela Koenig's Rebellion

With the help of a Sherpa and his nephew who know the back trails, Jeri hopes to avoid Chinese and Nepali border guards as well as British SAS forces who have targeted her as a terrorist. Just
as the mountain trek begins, Jeri encounters Kelly Corcoran, a tourist
from the United States. Kelly is aimlessly adrift in Nepal, emotionally
desolated by the recent loss of her brother and his friends to AIDS.
Both women recognize that a powerful connection links them, but while
Kelly is willing to gamble her heart, Jeri struggles against involving
anyone in her perilous and chaotic life. An uneasy compromise finds
Kelly accompanying the small group at least to the Tibetan border.
On this journey, Kelly will need every ounce of her courage and nerve
to convince Jeri that the future only makes sense if they risk a life
together. Follow Jeri's adventures in Book II of the thrilling Refractions Series. Stay tuned for Laurie Salzler's new book, Positive Lightning. Also on the way is the new book from Renee MacKenzie, Nesting, and plenty of other good things! |

Little do they know the fates are conspiring against them as they face two weeks of hilarious and unfortunate happenstance that would test the patience of Job. Will they emerge from this adventure with renewed commitment toward love and their lives together-or will the strain be too much to bear? The
Charland family returns in this hilarious third book of the Commitment
Series, as they venture on a vacation to remember. And
right along with it, we have Cheyne Curry's gripping story of a woman
coming to terms with her family and her past, in The

Betrayed and emotionally devastated, Hunter escaped Otter Falls, Vermont, on a bus and started life anew on the west coast. Sixteen years later, her mother dies and inexplicably leaves her estate to Hunter rather than her sons. Hunter's two brothers are confused and angered by the bequeathing and Hunter is forced to deal with unresolved family dynamics. Amidst this turmoil, a chance meeting with a childhood acquaintance results in unexpected romance. Hunter
soon discovers that her mother's disposition of her estate is not
the only mystery. A series of events reveals long-buried secrets that
bring her to a point of questioning what she believes to be true,
and this becomes the tropic of Hunter. Both books are available now at www.bluefeatherbooks.com, from Bella Books as both print and e-books, and in Kindle format at Amazon. Hurry and get your copies now! And as always, stay tuned for more exciting releases, coming soon, only from Blue Feather Books. |

Corey Banner is happy in a six-year relationship with her partner Judy, and sees only a bright future ahead for them.

Two years later, still broken and reeling from her painful loss, Corey moves from her home in Lansing, Michigan, to Grand Lake, Colorado. There, she hopes to begin healing. Erin Flannery and her Aunt Tess are co-owners of Grand Lake's Rainbow Lodge.

Will Corey take a leap of faith and allow love to enter her heart again? And will Erin stop running long enough to trust a woman who seems almost too good to be true? Against
the backdrop of the magnificent Rocky Mountains, Corey and Erin must
decide: will they let fear rule their lives, or will they just let
go and dance another dance with love. Available now at www.bluefeatherbooks.com, or at Bella in print and e-book format! Chris,

January
18, 2013 How hard can it be for the outstanding Private Investigator Elizabeth Taylor to find the research papers of a man who killed himself? A man who was the fiancé of her housemate? Figuring it should be a breeze, Taylor (her preferred moniker) jumps at the job. Uh-oh. Turns out the police can't rule out foul play, and Taylor, being Taylor, can't rule out getting involved. With high hopes of finding Stan McCormick's notes, she travels to Grafton Island in Chesapeake Bay, where Stan was in the middle of a land dispute. Upon her arrival, she meets the attractive and beguiling Priscilla Stewart. Could it be love at first sight? Leave it to Taylor to fall for a murder suspect! Priscilla got smashed the day Stan died, and she can't remember anything that did or didn't happen. Taylor's mission has expanded from locating Stan's notes to finding Stan's killer, thereby proving Priscilla's innocence. Taylor noses around and asks questions that put her right in the middle of problems centered on Grafton Island: farmers against the watermen, newcomers against the old-time residents, and environmentalists against the questionable real estate dealings of developers. The more
investigating she does, the more people she finds with motives to
have murdered Stan. She receives threatening notes and has several
close calls that rattle her to the bone. She finds Stan's research
papers, but can she find the killer before he makes fish bait out
of her? This
witty, intriguing mystery will definitely keep you turning the pages,
so don't wait, head to Bluefeatherbooks.com, or to Bella Books, and
get your paperback or e-copy now! And,
as always, we have plenty of exciting titles planned for 2013, so
make sure to check back often!
