Is the winter weather making you feel cold? Need to warm up? Take a peek into the

After an intense, enthralling,
passionate excess of email exchanges via an internet dating site, Lucy Jane
Pierce finds herself obsessed with her prospective partner, Brayden Johnson.
Lucy is a preschool teacher who refers to her students as little pickles when
they display unique, daring, charming, silly or bold characteristics. During
her email banter with Brayden Johnson, being referred to as a pickle takes on
new meaning. The question persists—How many email exchanges will it take to
determine whether this man is a dry, wilting, raw, sour pickle or a juicy,
fresh, tender, sweet pickle? Can he possibly be the perfect pickle for her? Get
lost in the world of online dating and find out. This book is a collection of
actual email letters exchanged between two people via an internet dating site.

Well, now you can. Order “Life After Lipstick” and find yourself connecting and identifying with the common trials that we all deal with throughout our lifetime, while gaining an appreciation for poetry.
In this daring, honest and delicious memoir, written in poetry form, Lori Jean Phipps reveals her rather tumultuous life after the age of twenty one. After she began wearing lipstick and became in a sense, a woman. That is when her entire perspective on life began to change. Her sheltered innocent childhood kept her protected and well-loved and her adventurous adulthood took her on a roller coaster ride of emotional, psychological and metaphorical growth, hence the reason for the title of the book.
JULY

Do you feel like you are the only one out there with a history of relationship disasters who is still single? You’re not. This adult fictional novel “Aftertaste” is a fiery, uplifting, intriguing, quirky soul on a platter, immersed with one hundred of the most beautiful words in the English language, inspiring an appetite for passionate adventures and taking you on a roller coaster of luxurious tastes, tragic heartbreak, sincere friendships, virtuous lessons, leading to a euphoric, and healthy sense of well-being, bequeathing you with a sweet aftertaste. Discover a new way to view your relationship patterns while exploring a savoring recipe that will make you feel renewed with hope.
In an all-night
culinary quest and wine soiree embarked on the eve of Fourth of July, the
correlation between food cravings and men are explored and devoured. Melody Rae
Murphy convinces her friend Katarina (Kat) Ramirez to go on an emotional
journey to commemorate her relationship fiascos while creating the ideal
seafood entrée: salmon baked with mango and brie. Reliving her past she is left
with a tart, greasy, spicy, bitter and salty aftertaste longing for something
sweeter.
Knowing there are other “fish in the
sea” and after reading an exorbitant amount of self-help books Melody Rae feels
prepared to take a fresh step toward change. The extent of her quandary is
determinate on whether she is inherently capable of curbing her unhealthy
cravings, altering her future, to no longer attract a poor quality fish (a
stale entrée) but rather a fancier cuisine (an elite main course) or destined
to remain single and yo-yo diet in her relationships for eternity.
