Awoken by Billie Jade Kermack



Love is hoped for, life is a trial, death is inevitable. 

Grace is still deeply haunted by the untimely death of her father when the handsome Beau walks into her life. There is just one problem. Behind Beaus cool exterior lurks a deadly secret, an unexplainable gift, Grace comes to discover that maybe death isn’t final. With freaky twists and spine tingling turns Grace finds herself buried deep in an extra ordinary world of the supernatural and unearthly. Plagued by the sadistic spirit of a serial killer that is long dead Grace must hold onto her sanity and fight for her life, or join the growing list of his other victims. He plays hard, he plays rough and his weapon of choice is a six inch hunting knife. 

As the tales unfold and superstition and belief become a reality it’s a rollercoaster ride that has Grace gripped. Is Beau really who she thinks he is? Is life what she thought it was or will her nightmares come back to haunt her? 

Ghost stories aren’t just for bedtime and the bogey man isn’t just a myth to scare kids. 
The shadowed veil dividing our world and that of the deceased has been torn and all hell is breaking loose....literally. 

Keep the lights on and set yourself up for the creepy and the demented - nothing is as it seems 

Awoken is a story of true love and the sacrifices made to keep it.

Do I Know You by CJ Vermote



Sara lives in Washington State and as a young woman knows the meaning of tragedy. With an inheritance most of us can only dream of, she takes a vacation and finds herself face to face with Rob, a childhood boyfriend.
What appears to be a chance meeting with Rob is anything but that. Though Sara has dreams and intuitions she should be listening to, she ignores them and allows the fast paced romance with Rob, a man she should not trust, lead to marriage. Sara loves her new life until tragedy strikes, leaving her to fight for her life…alone. 






     CJ Vermote is originally from Washington State. She and her husband are currently living in Colorado enjoying endless days of sun. Before moving to Colorado, her favorite vacation spot was Seaside, Oregon. It’s only natural she would write with the greater Pacific Northwest as her center zone.
 She also loves photography and when not writing, she is capturing moments in time. Retired and enjoying life as a writer, she views her life as a journey and is enjoying the ride.

Through The Eyes Of A Child by Pam Funke



Book blurb:

God created the heavens and the earth. He created all of the plants, animals and birds of the air. He created man. When God was finished He looked at all that He had created and saw that it was good. Come see the world through the curious eyes of a child.

Excerpt:

There was once a curious little girl named Bella. She was four years old and was innocent to the ways of the world. She loved everyone and everything. Bella had a kind heart full of unconditional love and her mother hoped that she would remain this way even after she grew up.
One warm summer day as Bella was out with her mother exploring the world, she found a strange creature washed up on the shore of the beach they were exploring.
“Mom, what is this thing?” Bella asked as she bent down to gently scoop it up in her hands.
Her mother looked down into Bella’s small hands. The creature was certainly a strange looking being. I have never seen anything quite like it before.  She gently poked the creature with her finger. The creature was soft and squishy when she touched it. It was grey in color with small shells covering a portion of its body.
“I’m not sure Bella, but I think that it is a sea cucumber,” her mother said.
“Like the green thing that we eat with ranch?”
Bella’s mother started laughing.
“No, Bella. A cucumber is a vegetable while a sea cucumber is a creature. It is kind of like a slug but lives in the water.”
“Oh.”
Bella looked back down at the creature in her hands. You could tell that she was thinking about something as she raised an eyebrow and wrinkled her small nose.
“Mom?”
“Yes, Bella.”
“Where did it come from? How did it get here?”
“It came from the ocean Bella. Most likely it was washed ashore by the storm that we had last night.”
“Where did it come from before that?”
Bella walked slowly towards the ocean and gently placed the creature into the water.
“I’m not sure where in the ocean that it came from Bella. I don’t speak sea cucumber and certainly cannot ask it.”
“No, mom. Where did it really come from? Who made it? Who made all of these things?” Bella asked as she spread her arms wide.
“Like us, Bella, God made all of these things. He is the creator of everything. Come sit beside me and I’ll tell you a story or two,” her mother said patting the sand next to her.
Eager to hear a story, Bella hurried to sit next to her mother. She watched as the ocean raced toward her toes before it raced back out to sea. Her mind wandered as she listened to the stories that her mother told her.
