Honestly, it's kind of gross. Madison Fox is shocked when she learns her soul sight is more than a distasteful affliction: It's a weapon for battling evil. Roped into a job she doesn't want, Madison wades into a world where monsters actively hunt her and deadly experiences are becoming the norm. Her survival depends on mastering the mechanics of her ethereal powers—fast. If only she had a clue what she was doing... A FISTFUL of FIRE (Book 2) Madison's back in hot water... Madison Fox survived her first week as California's newest illuminant enforcer, but Madison's problems are just igniting. Neighboring regions report an uncharacteristic flare-up of evil, fire-breathing salamanders blaze unchecked across the city, and Black Friday looms. Trapped doing cleanup amid mobs of holiday shoppers, Madison must determine who she can trust—and whose rules to follow—before her region and career go up in flames. A FISTFUL of FROST (Book 3) Madison's job—and soul—are on thin ice. When Madison Fox accepted a bond linking her to Jamie, a half-evil pooka, she assumed she would be strong enough to overcome his darker nature. Yet instead of Madison reforming Jamie, he's manipulating her into bending the rules. As if the degradation of her soul wasn't bad enough, winter has struck with a vengeance. A plague of frost moths have infested the state. Taking advantage of the abnormally frigid temperature, a dangerous breed of wicked, cold-blooded enemies flock to Madison's region from the north. Madison is in for the battle of her life, and if she hopes to survive, she must make an impossible choice: save herself and her region or save Jamie. Download your copy today!

Pardon me, but you’re stepping on my heart is the second volume for the book The Tears Behind My Smile, based on the life of a girl who had been through the worst days of her life and still stood like a queen. She had been mistreated by her loved ones and taken advantage of by the people she had trusted the most. The entire book revolves around her journey in which she saw the true colors of people in her time of need. Although her life-long lessons tore her into pieces, she still learned from them; instead of becoming the victim of everything. Everyone in her surroundings doubted her for not being strong enough and fighting the demons in her life. However, she proved all of them wrong and became the best version of herself. Whomsoever she trusted; always betrayed and wronged her. Thus, she started to be herself and stay away from everyone who claimed to love or look after her. Later, she realized that everyone becomes toxic in their life, but the true survivor is the one who accepts their faults and improves their selves, and she considers the true essence of life. There came a stage in her life where she decided to take steps for all those people, especially women whose voices were manipulated or suppressed due to someone else’s dominance. She also remembered how her ex-husband mistreated and kicked her out of the house, just like her parents did. She still understood his mentality, who had been a victim of abuse from his parents. No matter how many times she had been played, manipulated, wronged, or taken for granted, she never looked back because she had an optimistic approach to seeing things. In addition, in each step of her life, she remained thankful to God, who did not leave her hand in the hard times. She guided her readers to be realistic, no matter what social media is showing them, because, behind the cameras, everyone has to go through something they do not speak of. To get over her past, she made sure to make herself busy at work, where she again saw horrible faces behind the kindest smile. There too, she acted patiently and saw people reaping what they had sown. She remained thankful to her childhood friends, who never left her way and helped her fight her toxic ex-husband. She acknowledged and realized the power of unity and witnessed how it turned the tables. She asked the readers to remain grateful and helpful to the people around us because we never know when we might need their help or concern in this predictable life. Finally, yet importantly, she claimed self-love above all, as when people love themselves, they become contagious towards the better things and people in life. Thus, the main theme is to trust and love yourself, no matter where you are and how others treat you.

I just inherited an apple orchard in Nova Scotia. That’s definitely a sentence I never would have imagined saying in my life. But for this New York socialite, the orchard is a chance to prove to my family—and myself—that I can do more, be more. I may not exactly know what I want out of life yet, but I’m determined to stick to something. And no, I’m not talking about the crabby bee farmer next door. Here’s what I know: if I can’t tough out one full month of a rooster waking me at sunrise, a poolhall parrot with a foul mouth, and a llama that swings both ways, not only will I lose my self-respect, I’ll lose my trust fund too. What I don’t know is why my neighbor with the bad attitude and a whole lot of sexy seems hellbent on sending me home. Well, he can buzz the hell off. At least until I accidentally stumble into his apiary, and things start to get a whole lot stickier...

Yes, there are times when it’s appropriate to reason with your child, to patiently and eloquently explain why he or she needs to do as you ask. You might present convincing arguments like “Because it makes you strong”; “Because it will keep you safe”; “Because it’s good for you”; “Because it’s bad for you.” But there are times when the only thing that really makes sense is . . . “Because I said so!!” This book is a hilarious, honest romp through motherhood—the joys, the sleeplessness, the frazzled days, the unending carpooling, the in-house refereeing, the dieting (yeah, right), the worrying—and did we say, the joy? Here’s what some of that joy looks like—with excerpts straight from the book: • I tried to do the Buns of Steel video, but quickly realized that it wasn’t intended for people who have buns of pudding. • I felt like my head might explode. I kind of hoped it would so I could take a nice, peaceful ambulance ride out of there. • I was a little at a loss. I mean, those parenting books don’t tell you how to break up a fight over an imaginary friend. • Moms aren’t allowed to get sick more than one day a year. Single moms aren’t allowed to get sick ever. • Before you have children you can’t imagine yourself saying things like “Don’t put chocolate milk in your pants,” “Take the hot dog out of your nose,” or “Because I said so!” If you’re a mom-to-be or a mom in the trenches, you’ll love knowing that you’re not the only one out there who sometimes just figures it out as you go along—and sometimes can’t figure it out at all. But in the end, Dawn has these words of encouragement just for you: “Enjoy this time. Even when they make you crazy, these are the best days of your life.” And they really are, aren’t they?
