Former New York darling turned amateur sleuth Madeline Vaughn-Alwin finds herself trapped in the beautiful hacienda of the Luhan family with a killer at Christmas! Newly engaged Maddie is hoping for a quiet Christmas filled with fun and festivity with her gorgeous husband-to-be Dr Cole, but the moment she bumps into old friend Katrina Wilton, Maddie's Christmas plans are thoroughly destroyed. Katrina is now married to the dashing, yet troubled veteran Alfonso Luhan, son of the infamous local landowner, Don Victor Luhan, and is celebrating Christmas at the family hacienda, Los Pineros - Katrina insists that Maddie and David simply must join them. However, Maddie and David quickly find that things in the Luhan family are far from merry . . . Don Victor casts a cruel and overbearing hand over his ailing wife Isabella and their four children - all with their own secrets and eccentricities. So when Maddie stumbles across Don Victor's brutally murdered body early one morning, snow turned crimson around the ghastly scene, she cannot believe she has once again been thrown into a murder mystery! As a snowstorm rages, and everyone is trapped inside the idyllic manor house, Maddie must act fast to solve a very tricky family affair and bring the murderer to justice before Christmas.

This is a story written about me and some of my past experiences, it truly tells the story of many women, those women who never felt like they were good enough for one reason or the other. Maybe it was because of her weight, her skin complexion, a man or perhaps a combination of all three. Perhaps it was because of preconceived notions embedded into her head a young age of being consistently ridiculed by schoolmates of long ago for things that she had no control of, or maybe she had daddy issues. Whatever the reason, I'm sure it's something that all women can relate to and I don't mind laying myself across the coals by giving a deep dive into my life, letting readers see where I went wrong in letting anyone define my worth but me. "Nobody Deserves That Type Of Power."

Jules Verne racontant le passé c'est à ce choix paradoxal de la part d'un écrivain visionnaire qu'appartient le Comte de Chanteleine, roman historique publié dans la revue Le Musée des familles en 1864, la même année que son illustre Voyage au centre de la terre. Tenté comme nombre de ses contemporains de livrer son épisode de la Révolution, l'écrivain, né à Nantes, reprend l'histoire au 24 février 173. En suivant le comte de Chanteleine que l'inquiétude presse de rejoindre ses terres, le lecteur traverse la presqu'île guérandaise avant d'embarquer pour Quimper, Fouesnant et Douarnenez. A l'époque où il écrit ce récit, Jules Verne est encore, et avant tout, dramaturge: Le Comte de Chanteleine mené tambour battant ne fait l'économie d'aucun coup de théâtre. L'intérêt n'a guère l'occasion de faillir: le savoir-faire consommé de l'écrivain assure son lecteur d'un plaisir entier à suivre ces terribles péripéties.

This book embraces the truth, the WHOLE truth and nothing but the doggone truth about men, women and the relationships that exist between the two in the most unapologetic way. There are too many relationships failing or falling to the wayside for the smallest of reasons and it just shouldn't be. We've got to stop the madness before it's too late so that we can get back to the love that our hearts desire. This book contains a few proclamations that address the common pitfalls that so many of us face and gives you realistic tips on how to avoid them. I have to warn you though, if you can't handle the truth, this might not be the read for you. Be prepared to go on a journey with me and be open-minded enough to accept some hard truths in these messages... not only about yourself, but about the opposite sex and relationships in general.

Sally and Sammy squirrel are the main characters in these rhyming books that teach children God's ways on topics that every young child faces in daily life. Sally and Sammy are friends who live in tree houses in the forest. They go to church together, are close play pals, and give a great glimpse into what God intends family life to look like. There comes a point in each story where the mom, dad, grandma, teacher, and others teach them what God says in His Word. It always goes right along with what Sally or Sammy happen to be facing. Sally and Sammy teach kids how to learn, follow, and grow in God's Word. Proverbs 22:6 says, "Train a child in the way they should go and when they're old they won't depart from it."
