A School of Daughters by Kate René MacKenzie | Book Review ~ Excerpt ~ $50..

It’s funny how things sneak up on you…

Kate Willoughby is a champion for throwaways–discarded dogs and cats, abandoned horses bound for slaughter, and all creatures great and small. But now it’s Kate who’s been tossed aside like a dog dumped by the side of the road. Who will champion Kate?

A School of Daughters by Kate René MacKenzie shines a light on the childhood events and adult choices that, like stepping stones, brought her to this moment, Kate illuminates a familiar and well-worn path. Narrating her story with equal doses of heartache and humor, Kate comes to understand that nothing sneaks up on you that isn’t already here. Learning from Phineas, the determined grosbeak, Kate realizes that even after a devastating injury, you can soar again.

The Warlock’s Curse by C. B. Oresky | Excerpt ~ Author Note ~ $50 Giv..

In The Warlock’s Curse by C.B. Oresky,
Clara and Angelica Grace have never met ghosts. They’ve never sailed on a tall ship, ridden wild unicorns, or fought with magical weapons. Instead, the teenage twins have a wretched existence, ignored by their troubled parents in a rundown home and tormented by the town’s snobs.

Everything turns topsy-turvy all of a sudden when discovery of an ancestor’s hidden journal with an odd key to an unknown door leads them into an entirely different realm.
