Synopsis

“Rediscovering Ramona grips you from the first moment. The humorous, yet poignant narrative is a truly engaging journey through the complexities of human connection and self-discovery. Banta’s storytelling truly shines.” Reader’s Favorite, 5 Stars (K.C. Finn) 
 
After a terrifying event, witty Los Angeles writer Ramona ‘Ro’ Wilder struggles with crippling feelings of vulnerability. The global pandemic provides an excuse for her to withdraw from family and friends and seek refuge in her home in the bohemian neighborhood of Laurel Canyon.
 
Ro’s search for serenity is disrupted by Fred, her charming but annoying neighbor who constantly tests her patience. Their lively banter leads to an unexpected companionship, and she soon discovers that Fred has a serious illness. Just as pandemic restrictions are being lifted, a shocking event once again upends Ro’s life and forces her to venture from her carefully cultivated comfort zone to travel to exotic Morocco in search of Fred’s elusive best friend.
 
An inspiring and entertaining tale based on many true events in the author’s life, Rediscovering Ramona: Truth, Fiction, and Burt’s Bar leads the reader from the Hollywood Hills to the exciting casbah of Marrakesh as Ro seeks to redefine herself in a dramatically changed world.
 
“A must read for contemporary fiction fans.” Reader’s Favorite, 5 Stars (Manik Chaturmutha)

    Retirement Rebel is Siobhan's honest and uplifting story of how one woman stepped off the merry-go-round of life, slowed down and started enjoying the journey. Of how she sold up, packed up and hit the roads of the UK with no real plan, embarking on a positive-ageing adventure and hoping to inspire women across the country with her message that retirement could actually be the start of life's adventures. With no shortage of mishaps and hardships along the way – not least being commanded to 'stay at home' during the Covid lockdowns, despite always being at home wherever she was – Siobhan's story can inspire us all. Her message is that we can make simple lifestyle changes to feel happier and more fulfilled. Because at the end of the day, age shouldn't be a barrier to having an adventure.

    When you look back in history at royal romances, surprising as it may seem, few have happy ever after endings, and in many instances the idea of “Love and Marriage” being inextricably linked is not quite as common as you might at first think. In fairy stories handsome Kings and Princes regularly sweep fair maidens off their feet, transforming them into Princesses and Queens, and although a rarer occurrence, a Royal Princess can create a Prince out of the most unpromising of characters! 
     
    From King Arthur through to Prince Charles and Diana, Royal Romances - The British Monarchy gives you an enlightening insight into British Royal history.
