Waiting For a Girl Like You

By Katie Delahanty

Genre: Romantic Comedy, Women’s Fiction

Rule 1: No flirting.

Rule 2: No one can know your real identity.
Rule 3: Nothing can get in the way of the bride’s perfect wedding.

Being a bridesmaid-for-hire doesn’t exactly pay off law school loans, though the job gives Gwendoline Watson time to indulge in her passion: writing for her music platform Shut Up & Sway.

But thirteen subscribers don’t add up to a lucrative career, so Gwen agrees to work overtime at a destination wedding to pay for her cat’s emergency surgery. There could be worse ways to make money—or so Gwen thinks until she lands on the dreamy Italian coast and learns the groom is the first love who broke her heart.

Duncan Avila is a wedding singer with a modern yacht-rock vibe whose voice can make any bridesmaid fall at his feet. Except the one he really wants.

Between hilarious day trips to matchmake the mismatched bride and groom and swoony late-night schemes to help Duncan’s dreams come true, is Gwen destined to always be the bridesmaid in life and love? Or is everything she ever wanted right there in front of her, just waiting for a girl like her?

This delightful rom-com set to a yacht rock playlist will keep you laughing and singing along through the last dance.

Katie never knew she was a writer. As a child, she loved old movies, costumes, fashion, playing dress up, and books. Lots of books. On her quest to play make believe for a living, she decided she wanted to be a fashion designer. After satisfying her practical parents by graduating from UCLA with a BA in Communication Studies, she went on to pursue her design dreams with a Professional Designation in Fashion Design from FIDM. She spent five years helping to design romantic dresses that were sold everywhere from Anthropologie to Nordstrom before an economic downturn led to a career shift and that practical degree came in handy. Now in charge of the ecommerce business for In Bloom Lingerie, she was asked to start the company blog. Not knowing what to write about lingerie, but needing to use bridal keywords, she decided to start a fictional serial about how a girl named Olivia Bloom, who worked for In Bloom Lingerie, became engaged. And that’s when Katie fell in love with storytelling and the path to make believe became clear. She hasn’t looked back since. She is the author of the Brightside Series and the Keystone Series and would love to connect with you at www.KatieDelahanty.com

Harry and the Kraken

Harry the Pirate Captain Book 1

by Philip L. Hutson

Genre: Middle Grade Fantasy Adventure

Harry, the strongest, bravest, and hairiest pirate, is the legendary captain of the Flying Dragon. He is always on the hunt for adventure and treasure but never at the expense of his crew or the target of his pirating. One day, while celebrating a large haul in their favorite pub, a stranger stumbles in. He tells them he lost his whole crew in a heroic battle against an evil, man-eating kraken. Harry and his loyal crew don’t hesitate to avenge the crew and remove the threat. Before they even get out to the open ocean they encounter a mysterious stranger. The stranger, who isn’t quite what he seems, keeps the ship’s crew guessing what he will do next. The flying dragon starts the voyage by trying to avoid detection by spies or pirate hunters. They are surprised to find a Royal Navy pirate hunter in a Spanish port where it does not belong. The crew prepares for a fight and a certain defeat. In what appears to be dumb luck the stranger causes a cannon to fire and make an incredible shot that disables a Royal Navy man-o-war. Harry and the Kraken is a lighthearted fantasy and an introduction to Harry’s magical universe.

Harry the Pirate Captain Book 2

Legendary pirate captain Harry vows to rescue a crew of pirates from a Spanish prison. During their journey to rescue the prisoners, Harry and his crew encounter a group of displaced people with surprising connections to his quartermaster and their unassuming cargo master. As they continue their journey, they rescue a pair of brothers from a ghost ship who, despite their small stature, help save the crew from evil harpies. Just when their hopes are high, everything falls apart, and Harry and the crew are captured. Now, Harry must rescue himself, his crew, and the imprisoned pirates he swore to free. “Harry Breaks a Jail” continues the thrilling saga of Harry and his loyal band of pirates.

“Harry and the Kraken”, started out as a response to the request “Tell me a story” from my grandson. He then gave me the parameters of a story about pirates and a Kraken. Then when I asked what the captain’s name should be, he pointed at my hairy legs and said “Harry”.

I started to tell him the story but ran out of time. With a promise to finish it and send an email to his mother with the rest, I started working on it. I originally intended it to be a simple one-page story. I realized it would be much more than that when I got to chapter 4 and hadn’t really gotten into the story.

The illustrations in the first book, “Harry and the Kraken” are by my grandson and by some brothers who were early beta readers. The story is for my grandson primarily so to improve it I had some middle-graders (the brothers included) read it and give me feedback. Once the brothers read it they wanted to add more illustrations.

Science Fiction

Date Published: December 15, 2024

In a galaxy far from Earth, the advanced civilization of Merk extends a rare invitation to join their peaceful galactic continuum to worlds demonstrating true maturity. With Earth on the brink of a monumental transformation, all eyes are on presidential candidate Andy Brock, whose visionary policies promise unity and progress.

Earth has already made significant strides: the Koreas have united, NATO has dissolved following Russia’s peaceful democratization, and the world stands on the cusp of unprecedented harmony. Yet, China remains a looming threat, with ambitions to seize Taiwan and a war with the U.S. on the horizon.

Amidst this turmoil, Rein, the leader of the Merkian delegation studying Earth, must decide if humanity is ready to join the Merk galactic community. However, her complicated feelings for Andy could either symbolize a potential new era of interstellar cooperation with Earth, or bring the whole mission to a grinding halt.

Through political trials, assassination attempts, and opposition from traditionalists, the path is fraught with challenges. Will the impending conflict with China derail Earth’s chance at interstellar peace? Can Andy Brock ascend to the presidency and implement his transformative vision for a brighter future?

New Zealand: A Novel

By Lance Morcan

Genre: Historical Romantic Adventure

New Zealand: A Novel spans almost 500 years and covers the respective discoveries of New Zealand by Pacific Islanders and Europeans. From the outset the two stories are interposed. It starts in the 1300’s with the departure of Islanders from Hawaiki in search of land far to the south.

The hardy, brown-skinned people who arrive here first call themselves Maori and they call their new home Aotearoa – land of the long, white cloud. The fascinating, eventful and sometimes violent lives of descendants of those first arrivals are traced through the centuries until the arrival of Europeans aboard Captain James Cook’s bark the Endeavour. Cook names the new land New Zealand.

Maoris call the white intruders pakeha. Their arrival heralds a clash of two vastly different ideologies as European civilization collides head on with indigenous culture.

The misunderstandings, tension and bloodshed that follow are relayed as seen through the eyes of one of the Endeavour’s youngest and most engaging crewmembers, Surgeon’s Assistant Nicholas Young, as the vessel embarks on its historic circumnavigation of the country.

Amidst the life-threatening challenges Nicholas faces at sea and on land, the young man finds true love when he meets Anika, a beautiful Maori princess who steals his heart.

Lance’s first solo-authored novel, a historical adventure-romance titled New Zealand: A Novel, was published late 2024.

It starts in the 1300’s with the departure of Islanders from Hawaiki in search of land far to the south. Researching and writing this epic was literally half a century in the making for Lance who described the task as “A labour of love that spanned 50 years.”

Book 3 of The Martyr’s Vow series

Horror/Paranormal

Date Published: 12-15-2024

Publisher: Shadow Spark Publishing

A bloodline curse haunts monster hunter Armand Tarkanian, granting him the ability to summon the dead. But the more spirits he channels, the more supernatural energy threatens to tear him apart.

An unexpected invitation from distant relatives gives him a chance to learn more about his curse. What Armand finds in their moldering mansion is an odd assortment of Armenian traditions, dark secrets, and personal grudges.

Besides a history of genocide and tragedy plaguing his kindred, things aren’t what they seem: paintings shift and change, bones hang from trees, and the family’s elusive patriarch is a dakhanavar – a vampire from Armenian folklore.

When his undead host hungers for vengeance, Armand finds himself trapped between worlds.

He must choose: either take the Martyr’s Vow and pledge to sacrifice himself, or succumb to the dark impulses that claimed his ancestors.

Blood Family is a harrowing tale of generational trauma, folk magic, and ripping free from the past.

A Seph Vermillion Western Adventure Book 1

by David Fitz-Gerald

Genre: Historical Western Adventure Fiction

Grab your hat, step into your boots, and strap on those spurs. Your cow pony is saddled up and ready to ride the trail from San Antonio to Abilene.

Seph Vermillion grew up dirt poor. As long as he can remember, he’s been pushing a plow and arguing with a mule. A couple of times a year, a trio of bandits ravage the family farm and make off with their savings.

Pa never returned home after the war. Seph’s siblings have been gone so long, he doesn’t remember what they look like. When Ma dies after a long illness, Seph trades the family farm for a horse named Sheriff. The kid next door tells Seph about the Deatherage Longhorn Cattle Ranch. The allure of adventure beckons. They partner up and hit the trail. Lacking skills, they are the last cowboys hired and agree to work for half pay.

The outfit’s top hand, Stoke Moreland, pranks, taunts, and threatens Seph. Why does the seasoned cowboy seem intent on driving him off? Seph doesn’t know much about self-defense, but he is tired of being a victim and feeling violated. How long can he turn the other cheek?

The trail is fraught with hazards from perilous river crossings to the mother of all stampedes. When they realize they’re being tracked, followed, and hunted, a growing sense of doom overwhelms the fledgling outfit of cowboys who are still wet behind the ears. The outlaws that plagued Seph’s past have followed them and they are determined to take the herd. Their plan is simple: pit the cowboys against each other, pick them off one by one, and stampede the beeves.

Since they left San Antonio, the drovers have looked forward to whooping it up at the end of the trail. That was before somebody began killing cowboys. Now, Abilene seems like an impossible dream. Will anybody make it to the end of the trail?

Grab your slicker, fetch your bedroll, and swing up into the saddle. Sign on with the Dagger D, Angry R brand—First Drive is calling your name.
