I think I got a little bit of a sunburn from hanging out with the bee guy yesterday watching him gather a swarm on the sidewalk. I am glad I met him and hung out while he did his thing. Not only because I learned a lot, but I am sad to say the whole beekeeping thing has been pushed to the side a bit. The bees are at my partner in crime’s house, so I don’t see them on a daily basis and life has a way of keeping me very busy. It could also be that it was winter and there was not much to do with them anyway. After yesterday I feel a bit more energized. Now that we have a few years under our belts I was understanding more about what he was saying and with the fear of working around tiny creatures that sting not being an issue, I can concentrate on learning, and less on trying to avoid being stung. I still haven’t been stung by a bee. Maybe this will be my year.

The House by the River

FREE for a limited time

From acclaimed Greek writer Lena Manta comes an emotionally powerful saga following five young women as they realize that no matter where life leads them, the only constant is home.

Theodora knows she can’t keep her five beautiful daughters at home forever — they’re too curious, too free spirited, too like their late father. And so, before each girl leaves the small house on the riverside at the foot of Mount Olympus, Theodora makes sure they know they are always welcome to return.

Having survived World War II, the Nazi occupation of Greece, and her husband’s death, Theodora now endures the twenty-year-long silence of her daughters’ absence. Her children have their own lives — they’ve married, traveled the world, and courted romance, fame, and even tragedy. But as they become modern, independent women in pursuit of their dreams, Theodora knows they need her — and each other — more than ever. Have they grown so far apart that they’ve forgotten their childhood home, or will their broken hearts finally lead them back again?

On the road with two siblings, twelve year-old Maydean and five year-old Willie-Boy, Phoebe is out of money, out of gas and out of patience.

A collision with Gage Morgan puts Phoebe’s mission in even worse jeopardy–until Phoebe discovers Gage Morgan owns the perfect place for the Hawley clan. But! The man has a bruised ego, an iron fist on his heart and is the unlikeliest man in the universe to offer a helping hand. Phoebe wields all of the pride, backbone and country smarts she owns to worm her way into his heart. Nothing works. With time running against her family, she plies one last inducement–her scarce feminine wiles. And those are not a sure thing.

Aigle Comyenti hears the last notes of an alluring tune and it is clear to him. He MUST have that song. Mallory, the musician — on her way to an art festival to perform — not only teaches him the melody, but also steals his trusty pendant: the coppery piece given to him by his real father.

For to wake Mallory up from her deep sleep, he must enter her dreams…
