My gym’s Halloween party was a smash last night. I don’t mean to sound too boastful, but my decorations looked incredible!!! I was happy with how they looked in the day, but lit up at night with spiffy projector lights and flickering candles, it was beyond how I was actually thinking it would turn out. I have to say I was looking a bit awesome as well in my Pink Power Ranger costume, and under the blacklights a glowed like a…. well… I glowed light a Pink Power Ranger. Which might have been the cause of my downfall. About an hour into the party, glowing all pretty and pink, it happened… (deep sigh)…..(pause for effect)…..(another deep sigh, hanging head low)….. Why did they have to serve red wine in a large red Solo cups? Is that about fifty ounces? Because it looked about fifty ounces all down the front of my costume. It took only a second for the party goer to turn me from the Pink Power Ranger to the Red Power Ranger that smelled like a winery. I can think of worse smells, but not the scent I was going for. I was home before the kids went to bed.

I Hate Piñatas: Surviving Life’s Unexpected Surprises
Heather Maloy
Genre: Parenting & Relationships | Biographies & Memoirs
FREE for a limited time
I Hate Piñatas was the 2015 Independent Publisher Book Awards’ Gold Medalist – Best Adult Non-Fiction E-Book and was given an Honorable Mention in the 2015 San Francisco Book Festival as well as an Indie Excellence Awards’ Finalist – Memoir. Heart surgery doesn’t happen in a vacuum. This is what Heather Maloy learned first-hand when her son, Colman, was diagnosed in utero with a combination of congenital heart defects which are fatal without surgical intervention. I Hate Piñatas is a compelling story of hope and strength that vacillates between heartbreaking and outrageously funny as Maloy takes you through what three heart surgeries in three years looked like for one family. Author’s Note: I Hate Piñatas is not an inspirational book, but rather a true and honest account of what we went through as a family. In my quest to keep it real, there are curse words contained within the story. However, it’s my hope that this book will leave you feeling inspired.

Cadence to Glory: A Novel of the American Revolution
Mary Dearmon
Genre: Historical Fiction
FREE for a limited time
The year is 1773, and rumors of revolution abound. The return of the wealthy Eton family to Williamsburg, Virginia, however, briefly distracts the town’s elite. The youngest Eton son, Thomas, thus reunites with Priscilla Parr, his childhood friend and the now-cynical daughter of a proud Loyalist family. Thomas learns to admire her scathing wit while Priscilla finds herself drawn to his ambitious idealism. He soon introduces her to the radical principles of liberty, the fuel of the colonial rebellion. On the eve of Revolution, however, fate turns against the young lovers, whose families are politically opposed. As the ideological forces within her own home begin to parallel the clash between Britain and the Colonies, Priscilla is unexpectedly faced with a dangerous decision between two rivaling ideals – and destinies. Set against a backdrop of intrigue, espionage, treachery, and romance, “Cadence to Glory” thus chronicles the deepening schism within the Parr family. By exploring the ancient conflicts between youth and age, conviction and neutrality, self-interest and principle, the novel speculates that liberty itself is as natural and inevitable as the coming of age.
