Wild Women and the Blues: Chapter Sampler
Special Sneak Peek! Be among the first to experience Jazz-age Chicago as it comes to vibrant life in Denny S. Bryce’s evocative debut novel that weaves together the stories of a grieving film student in 2015 and an ambitious chorus girl in Chicago’s Black Belt in 1925 as they both come to grips with loss, forgiveness, and the limitations—and surprises—of love. 1925: Chicago is the jazz capital of the world, and the Dreamland Café is the ritziest black-and-tan club in town. Honoree Dalcour is a sharecropper’s daughter, willing to work hard and dance every night on her way to the top. Dreamland offers a path to the good life, socializing with celebrities like Louis Armstrong and filmmaker Oscar Micheaux. But Chicago is also awash in bootleg whiskey, gambling, and gangsters. And a young woman driven by ambition might risk more than she can stand to lose. 2015: Film student Sawyer Hayes arrives at the bedside of 110-year-old Honoree Dalcour, still reeling from a devastating loss that has taken him right to the brink. Sawyer has rested all his hope on this frail but formidable woman, the only living link to the legendary Oscar Micheaux. If he’s right—if she can fill in the blanks in his research, perhaps he can complete his thesis and begin a new chapter in his life. But the links Honoree makes are not ones he’s expecting . . . Piece by piece, Honoree reveals her past and her secrets, while Sawyer fights tooth and nail to keep his. It’s a story of courage and ambition, hot jazz, and illicit passions.

The Cinderella’s Secret Witch Diaries series is a perfect match for fans who have read Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy. Everyone knows the fairy tale of Cinderella and the glass slipper, but in this Cinderella retelling, what happened to her after she married the Prince? Set in the late 1700s as Napoleon is rising to power, Cinderella embarks on a journey of self-discovery as she tries to come to terms with her new life. Her journey leads her to find her long lost Fairy Godmother and aids her to solve the mystery behind her mother’s death. Yet the Fey Lord, the Silver Fox, and the witch Renée also take notice in her and suddenly her world is turned upside down. Find out if Cinderella does find her happily ever after in Lost, the dark and intriguing first book in the Cinderella’s Secret Witch Diaries series! Interview with the author from Digital Book Today: Ron Vitale turns the fairy tale on its head with a dark and twisted look into the private life of Cinderella and her struggle to find happily ever after in a world of magic and politics. Drawing rave reviews for its creepy and original imagining of the Cinderella fairy tale, Lost: Cinderella’s Secret Witch Diaries, and its sequels, Stolen and Found, are available in print and ebook through Amazon. Question: What inspired you to write Lost: Cinderella’s Secret Witch Diaries? Answer: My young daughter. Four years ago, my daughter was nearly three years old, and she was infatuated with Princesses and anything pink. While reading to her one night, a question popped into my head: What happens after the happily ever after? I started to think about that and then realized that I had an idea I could sink my teeth into. After Cinderella marries the Prince, the story ends, but I wanted to go beyond that and show Cinderella’s struggle after she was married. I just used my imagination and let it run wild, and my readers have connected with what I’ve come up with in my series. Question: What’s your book about? Answer: The book is about Cinderella’s coming to terms with her identity. All her life she’s been forced to do what she’s been told, and it’s taken a toll on her. Now she’s at a point in her young life in which she has to decide where she wants to go in life and who to be. If I could boil my book down to one phrase, it’s simply that women do not have to wait to be rescued by men. Women can rescue themselves. There’s no need to wait for a man to save them. Question: Tell us a little about your main character. Answer: Cinderella is young and still innocent. She’s married to the Prince but is still trying to find her voice and identity. Now a member of the royal court of England in the late 1700s, Cinderella has tremendous pressure on her to perform and carry the heir to the throne. She’s timid, unsure of herself, and searching for a friend to help her find her way. All along, Cinderella looks to others to save her, but slowly she realizes that her Fairy Godmother cannot always be at her side. She needs to find other sources of support to help her deal with tremendous challenges before she loses her way. She desperately searches to find the magic that once saved her from her stepmother and hopes that she can once again be saved. But in her innocence, she stumbles upon a secret that turns her life upside down and causes her to question all that she knows.$0.00$14.99 -
The Wideawake Hat
From the Scottish Highlands to the South Island of New Zealand, life was harsh for the early pioneers who ventured into a new land far across the seas where opportunity beckoned for those who could endure the hardships. On Boxing Day, 1848 Sophia steps ashore with her new husband, George, and begins her perilous journey inland to seek a place to call home.

Along with his clever and faithful collie dog Friday, his exploits have become legends. Perhaps there is more to tell of James Mackenzie and his influence on the remotely beautiful high country, surrounded by snow-capped mountains…$0.00$9.99 -
