Bookends #8


What am I currently reading?


Well, I've been busy for the last two weeks, so my plan of reading Royally Roma have changed, though my bookmark is in place. I had to read a few books (His Guilt, Grounded Hearts, etc.) for upcoming book tours, which one of those reviews will be posed later today. Hopefully, I will find a some time to read Royally Roma this week. I'm also reading Seven Stones To Stand Or Fall by Diana Gabaldon, which I received on Saturday.

What am I reading next?



I'm still planning on reading The Enchantment of Emma Fletcher by L.D. Crichton next, probably followed by Royally Romanov by Teri Wilson.

Summer Reads: His Guilt by Shelley Shepard Gray

Avon Inspire; 288 pages; $12.99; Buy Link; Blog Tour

Now available from Avon Inspire is the Amish romance-drama His Guilt by New York Times bestselling author Shelly Shepard Gray. It's the second novel in The Amish Of Hart County, which started with Her Secret (read my review here).

His Guilt centers on a young Amish man named Mark Fisher, who has returned home to Hart County in the attempt to put his painful past behind him. Despite being raised Amish, Mark grew up in an abusive household, but somehow found a way to survive. While he always thought of himself as a good person, two years ago he was wrongly accused of assaulting a young Amish woman.

After leaving his home for two years, Mark has now returned to Horse Cove, Kentucky with the dream of fixing up his family's old house. Of course finding a job wasn't easy, as everyone believe he's guilty. The only job he could get is at the Bloom and Berries nursery, which happens to be the same store where Waneta "Neeta" Cain works, a young Amish woman who believes Mark is guilty of assaulting the girl.

Eventually, Neeta''s feelings for Mark changes, and she eventually believes he is innocent of accusations. However, their blossoming friendship becomes in jeopardy when one of Neeta's friends is attacked, and everyone in the community believes Mark is responsible for the crime.

Interview & Giveaway with Jenn Windrow

Interview & Giveaway with Jenn Windrow



Now available from Muse It Up Publishing is the urban fantasy Evil's Unlikely Assassin by Jenn Windrow.



  
The author has taken a few minutes out of her busy schedule for a Q&A about her new novel.



When did you become interested in storytelling?

I liked to make up stories as a kid, I guess some people call that lying. 😀 Honestly, I’ve always loved to read, and had so many stories of my own in my head that I just decided to try to get them out on paper and see what happened. I didn’t get serious until my youngest entered kindergarten then, writing was a bit difficult with two little ones in the house and Dora the Explorer always playing in the background.

 What was your first book/story published?

Struck By Eros was my first novel published, but I had a short story called Swallowed By Darkness published in a small online magazine. Since then I’ve taken that story and placed it on Amazon myself.

What inspired you to write Evil’s Unlikely Assassin?

Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. Yes. Seriously. In the old version they play at Christmas every year, there is a character names Hermy. Hermy doesn’t want to be an elf, Hermy wants to be a dentist. I wondered what would happen if a vampire didn’t want to be a vampire. How would they become human again?

 What character in Evil’s Unlikely Assassin is the most/least like you, and in what ways?

Fitness & Coffee Sundays ,
Fitness & Coffee Sundays: Prime Build Best BCAA


A few weeks ago, I received a 12oz (30 days supply) of Natrogix Prime Build Best BCAA, which is a post workout healthy muscle support.

What are BCAA's?

BCAA stands for Branched Chain Amino Acids. There are 20 amino acids in the human body, and three of these (leucine, isoleucine, and valine) are BCAAs, which helps to stimulate protein synthesis and helps to regulate protein metabolism. Taking a BCAA supplement can
promote muscle protein synthesis, which will increase muscle growth over time.

The Prime Build Best BCAA is free of wheat, sugar, yeast, starch and milk. There are no preservatives or artificial flavors or synthetics colors.


The ingredients include:

Creatine Monohydrate - 3000mg
L-Leucine - 2500mg
L-Glutamine - 2000mg
L-Isoleucine 1250mg
L-Valine 1250mg

Dragon Seed centers around an angry teen named Nick with a not-so normal life. With his father missing from life, his mother has become a little hysterical when it comes to her son. Things are so bad at home, that Nick has considered running away.

Nick's life takes an unexpected turn when he mysteriously receives a handwritten, leather-bound old book called the "Dragon Seed."
