Sinopse

In "The Garden of the Plynck," Karle Wilson Baker crafts a symphony of imagery and introspection, presenting a rich tapestry that blends fantasy with the natural world. Set against a backdrop of lush gardens and mystical elements, Baker employs a lyrical and evocative literary style that captures the imagination while exploring themes of identity, belonging, and the interplay between human emotions and nature. This work, published in the early 20th century, resonates with the modernist movement, reflecting a growing desire to transcend the mundane through both poetic form and narrative depth. Karle Wilson Baker, an influential African American poet and author born in 1871, brings her unique perspective to the narrative, influenced by her experiences and her engagement with issues of race and gender. Educated and well-traveled, Baker's literary career was shaped by her determination to highlight the complexities of African American life. Her works often reflect a deep-rooted connection to her Southern heritage, imbuing them with a sense of cultural significance and authenticity that permeates "The Garden of the Plynck." This enchanting tale is recommended for readers seeking a blend of lyrical beauty and profound insight. With its rich symbolism and vivid descriptions, Baker's work invites readers into a contemplative space where they can reflect on their own place within the garden of existence. Ideal for lovers of poetry and fantasy alike, "The Garden of the Plynck" promises to resonate long after the final page is turned.

    Zoe Paul never had much. Abandoned as an infant, her grandmother Marilyn raised her until a tragic accident left Zoe all alone. Now, sixteen years later, Zoe discovers an unclaimed check worth millions among her grandmother’s things. With no explanation why Marilyn never cashed the check or what it was for, Zoe's curiosity quickly turns to suspicion and she goes to Cass for help. 
    Cass is used to representing small-town clients with big-time troubles, but this newfound windfall may be more curse than blessing. Soon Zoe’s long-lost relatives crawl out of the woodwork with claims to the funds. Cass must face-off with them in a bitter courtroom battle that draws sinister attention. 
    While Cass investigates the check's origins and the events leading up to Marilyn's accident, she exposes a dangerous web of deceit that threatens Zoe's safety as well as her own. The truth could either set Zoe up for life or reveal shocking family secrets worth killing for. 
    Will Cass unravel the mystery or become the next victim of a deadly cover up?

    Luanne and Shawna Gawama head out of Gales Haven for a spontaneous day of adventurous fun. They expect to drink a little too much and dance the night away. Definitely to forget about all the trouble that’s befallen their hometown since their niece Marla’s return. 
    Instead, they run smack dab into trouble worse than any Spanx-pilfering leprechauns or back-talking hedgehogs. The kind of trouble not even their powerful family is prepared to face. 
    But these redheads know how to weather storms. And they do it together. 
    When strangers test the borders of their safe village, the Gawama witches aren’t ready to take them on—but that won’t stop them from kicking ass however they can. They’re resourceful and they don’t give a hoot what anyone thinks of them—a fiery combination. They have better things to worry about, like discovering the best glazed doughnuts and surviving the bond of sisterhood. 
    * Smexy Shenanigans is an optional novella in the Witches of Gales Haven series told from Aunt Luanne Gawama's point of view. The story takes place chronologically between book 3, Charmed Caper, and book 5, Homecoming Hijinks. It can be read as a standalone, though it's funnest to read it between books 3 and 5. It isn't necessary to read this novella to continue with Marla Gawama's adventures.

    Goodbye mind-numbing business classes, hello hunky Italian men . . .  
     
     
     
    When Juliet Evans scores a job as a nanny in Italy, she's ready for a year of excitement and glamour. She is not ready for a diabolical six-year-old who swears like a pirate and hurls silverware with terrifying accuracy. 
     
     
     
    Still, it's a small price to pay to explore Milan, take a million photos, and fantasize about becoming a professional photographer. And yes, she knows she has to take over the family business when she returns home, but a little denial never hurt anyone. 
     
     
     
    And speaking of denial, she is definitely not attracted to research intern, Jake Fields. She barely even notices his adorable dimples and quiet charm. Besides, dating an American in Italy is like eating at McDonald's in Rome—ridiculous! Yet, despite her best efforts, Juliet finds herself in the bewildering and euphoric grip of first love. 
     
     
     
    It's exhilarating! Intoxicating! Even better than gelato! Until it's the one thing standing in the way of her dreams. 
     
     
     
    The future she's always wanted is so close. Now what is she willing to give up to get it?
