The Counsellor

Gillian Jackson

Sinopsis

She listens for a living. But will anyone hear her when she needs it most?
 
Ten years after the tragic loss of her husband, Maggie Sayer has built a quiet life in the close-knit town of Fenbridge. As a counsellor, she dedicates her days to helping others find hope and healing. With her dog Ben by her side and her best friend Sue keeping things light at the health centre, Maggie seems to have found her rhythm again.
 
But the lives of her clients weigh heavily on her shoulders. Julie, a young mother trapped in a violent marriage. Janet, burdened by a secret too painful to voice. Karen, haunted by a childhood marked by loss. As personal boundaries begin to blur, danger draws closer than Maggie expects.
 
Then Peter walks in, emotionally adrift and with demons of his own. Their connection is immediate but fragile, and Maggie must decide whether to retreat into safety... or take a leap of faith.
 
Tender and deeply human, Gillian Jackson's THE COUNSELLOR is a gripping story of courage and resilience.

Bury the Lead

Kate Hilton, Elizabeth Renzetti

A big-city journalist joins the staff of a small-town paper in cottage country and finds a community full of secrets . . . and murder. 
 
 
 
Cat Conway has recently returned to Port Ellis to work as a reporter at the Quill & Packet. She's fled the tattered remains of her high-profile career and bad divorce for the holiday town of her childhood, famous for its butter tarts, theater, and a century-old feud. 
 
 
 
One of Cat's first assignments is to interview legendary actor Eliot Fraser, the lead in the theater's season opener of Inherit the Wind. When Eliot ends up dead onstage on opening night, the curtain rises on the sleepy town's secrets. The suspects include the actor whose career Eliot ruined, the ex-wife he betrayed, the women he abused, and even the baker he wronged. With the attention of the world on Port Ellis, this story could be Cat's chance to restore her reputation. But the police think she's a suspect, and the murderer wants to kill the story—and her too. Can Cat solve the mystery before she loses her job or becomes the next victim of a killer with a theatrical bent for vengeance?

Comped

Bill Kearney

The story I tell is from my own casino High Roller gambling experiences in the early 80s when casino gambling became legal in Atlantic City. At that time only Nevada and New Jersey had commercial casinos. Today there are 44 states with some form of casino gambling. Some states have commercial and tribal casinos. I’ve written “COMPED” as fiction because if I would have written as nonfiction, what is known today as the Gaming industry would have stopped its publication. That may sound like a robust claim, but after you read or listen to “COMPED” you will understand why. What I've written won't teach you how to beat the casinos it will teach you why you shouldn't try. It will also enlighten you on how we ended up with casinos in most of our backyards along with how a casino operator became our 45th president.

The Redemption of Shelby Ann - A...

Emma Cole

A broken, twisted girl, her fairytale in ashes.  
Three players in the game, their pawn in a gilded cage. 
I didn't know why they had brought me back or what they wanted from me. They should have let me die in that room of pain and shame, but instead they've hidden me away, kept me under the attentive eyes of dangerous men unaccustomed to the likes of me in their midst. 
I was sure my useless bodyguard and father-in-law never expected me to become attached to the ambitious, damaged, and unhinged men they stashed me with, but I was no longer concerned with what they thought of me. 
Free of the monster I'd married, I planned to live my life on my terms… until it was made clear I was expected to honor my obligations or face the consequences. No matter which way I chose, my life wasn't my own. I wasn't sure it ever had been, or if it ever would be. 
The Redemption of Shelby Ann is the second installment in the Twisted Love series, a dark, contemporary reverse harem. This series will have an eventual HEA, but it's going to take some patience to get there. Mature audiences only - dark content. Performed in DUET style narration.
