BOOK: A HEALING TOUCH

AUTHOR: LIZ ARNOLD

GENRE: Historical Romance

BLURB: DOCTOR HILLIARD: MEDICINE WOMAN In post-revolutionary America, Molly Hilliard wants to be more than an herbal healer, and she answers the lure of adventure on the Ohio River and journeys to the Northwest Territory seeking the freedom to set up a medical practice. Along the way, she tries to hire Romney Applewood as a guide, but he is going the opposite direction. After ten years as a captive of the Delaware Indians, Romney wants to get as far east as possible to forget his past and avoid the bounty on his head for taking part in raids upon settlers’ homes. Something about the way she sacrifices herself to heal others, and something about the way he endures the difficulties he encounters because of his tormented past, links them in more than their quest as they blaze new trails in their lives and in America's frontier. Note from the author: heat rating at least three chili peppers!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Liz Arnold lives in the mid-west with her husband.

BLURB: Shocking secrets, unexpected love, a cold-case mystery—and a nosy beagle!

At the age of 50, nurse Anni discovers via a DNA test that she has two half sisters, both of whom were hurt by a con man who has disappeared. Determined to bring her new family together and unravel the past, she hires a handsome P.I., and gets more than she bargained for. That includes his newly adopted dog, who isn’t shy about digging up evidence.

Former police detective Jon, now in business for himself, is frustrated by the one who got away, a swindler who tricked folks including Jon’s own mother out of their savings.

BOOK: RUTHLESS ALLIANCE

AUTHOR: LUCA STORM

GENRE: Thriller Suspense

BLURB: A planned bombing in New York. A bureaucrat with ulterior motives. One lone wolf standing between the innocent and bloody carnage.

Luis Fuentes longs to quit the violence-riddled border. But when the undercover DEA agent is contacted by a would-be-terrorist, he jumps in to probe for details before an extremist plot unfolds. And when the FBI Director tells him to quietly string the man along, the street-smart operative’s instincts tell him his superior is playing dirty pool.

Luis survives car chases, shootouts with cartel members, and ruthless killers. He spurs a gullible co-conspirator through a wild goose chase to obtain explosives. But in a risky covert gambit, the driven patriot becomes increasingly frustrated as he tries to prevent a devastating loss.

Can Luis end the corruption and prevent an international conspiracy from wreaking mass destruction?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Luca Storm is the pen name this author uses when writing thriller suspense novels. This is her first thriller novel, and she's presently writing the second book of the series to be titled Ruthless Pursuit.

Luca's been an avid reader of mysteries since she picked up her first Nancy Drew book in the third grade and read it with a flashlight under the bedcovers, long after her bedtime. Her parents were avid readers and encouraged her to read in all genres. As an adult, she still gravitates to suspense thrillers.

Her favorite fiction authors are Harlan Coben, Patricia Cornwell, and Lee Child. She's also a fan of non-fiction authors Malcolm Gladwell, James Clear, and Seth Godin.
