Hahahah… okay, this one has me giggling far longer than I should be. “I may appear nonchalant, but I assure you, I am chalanting about a lot of things actually.” Yesterday, being only my second day on the job, I was working hard to act normal when a customer came in. I kept chanting in my head, “Be normal, be normal, and act human.” I’m sure it worked. My facial expression was TOTALLY normal looking. (shaking head) I hope I didn’t scare too many customers away.

Welcome to OCEAN SHORES in the sun-soaked paradise of Oceanside, California where the ocean pounds the shore, surfers ride the early morning waves, and the local military base sends roaring jets into the sky.

With no room for negotiation, these two opposites are forced into a shared living arrangement, further complicated by the antics of Miss Daisy, a feisty cat with a knack for mischief.

As Ava’s grumpy, cynical attitude clashes with Liam’s sunny optimism, sparks fly, and an unexpected connection blooms. Can Liam’s infectious charm thaw Ava’s very well-guarded heart? Will Ava discover that the best things in life often arrive when you least expect them?

A Songbird’s Tale: Tales of Tigraen
by Tiffani Sahara
4.7 Stars (62 Reviews)

FREE for a limited time

Jaren once lived the thrilling life of an adventurer, saving the innocent and slaying foul

monsters all across Tigraen. But now, blind and haunted by past failures, he ekes out a lonely existence as a hermit in the forest. His only companion is a tiny, loyal songbird.

Fate is not finished with Jaren.

An ancient demon is rising to power once more; a demon Jaren believed defeated. Fueled by sacrificial offerings from a fanatic cult, the demon’s dark influence grows. If no one stops the cult from unleashing it, Tigraen will be consumed by war and hellfire.

Desperate to save his forests, a wild fey implores Jaren to recommence his life as a hero – for only Jaren holds the key to the demon’s defeat. This quest would be nearly impossible for an entire group of warriors, let alone a single blind man. But Jaren is not eager to revisit the darkest parts of his past.

With Jaren reluctant to take the quest, the fey transforms the little songbird into a beautiful maiden to send in Jaren’s stead. Armed with more curiosity than common sense, a naïve but determined Songbird is unwavering in her quest to vanquish the demon and save Tigraen.

Jaren is thrown into an impossible predicament — let Songbird charge forth alone to certain death or join her and take up his sword once more. Jaren will have to risk not just his life but his heart as well if he hopes to be victorious this time around. Can a broken warrior and a hopeful Songbird slay the demon and save the day, or are they fated to ruin and heartache?
