Tangled Spirits: A Novel

About Tangled Spirits: A Novel:

Travel to the imperial court of 10th century Japan in this historical time-slip novel of imperial intrigue, personal sacrifice, and a friendship that spans a thousand years.

2019: Anxious and insecure, Mina Cooper wants to change her life, to change herself, but she gets more change than she bargains for when her spirit is pulled into the past and into someone else’ body – in 10th century Japan. And now she has a lot more to be anxious about. Like exorcism. And bandits. And chaotic magic from an untrained shaman. Can she survive long enough to get back home?

999: Desperately lonely after her mother and sister die in an epidemic, aspiring shaman Lady Masako attempts to call her mother back from the spirit world, but gets possessed by Mina instead.

After a struggle for control and a failed exorcism, the two spirits agree to cooperate long enough to get help from the Royal Astrologer, the only person powerful enough to send Mina home.

But his help comes at a cost, and Mina’s imperfect knowledge of history offers little to negotiate with. And the longer he waits to help her, the greater the risk her spirit will fuse with Masako’s, and she’ll never get home.

Sins of the Flesh

About Sins of the Flesh:

We have two choices. We can grow up. Or we can self-destruct.

Kate is a senior in high school. She is beautiful, smart, and the second highest point scorer on the lacrosse team. She also drinks too much- mostly to distract herself from her eating disorder, how much she hates her mom, and the fact that she can’t stop hooking up with the wrong guy.

Dawn is a young forty-something who neither looks nor feels her age. She is a sexy, liberated professional who has always lived by her own rules. Unfortunately, her insistence on personal freedom has left her with a few regrets, one of which is that she is estranged from her family. But she doesn’t worry about it much… until she finds out she doesn’t have another forty years to make amends. The doctor says she’ll be lucky if she lives another six months.

Both of these women are dying inside a little more every day.

Until fate brings them together.

About Skirting the Issues by Lise Spence-Parsons:

This is the second book of short stories from author Lise Spence-Parsons. This time out, we get to read twenty-one stories from several genres, including historical fiction, spy stories, romances and ghostly tales. Some are sad, some are funny, some are tongue-in-cheek.

A Long Time Coming – how do people of differing backgrounds overcome all?

Manners Maketh Man – a sideways look at the rules of yesterday’s etiquette.

What We Did! – an island of writing that will appear, slightly modified, in my full-length novel, ‘The Remains of Men’.

A Family History – a different view of the circumstances we currently live under.

Southern Duty: A Story of Georgia Pioneers by Brian Paley

Southern Duty is a biographical story tracing the lives of Malinda Field and Joseph Donaldson as they strive to raise a family during the antebellum period in the U.S. South. Due to a family tragedy, Malinda is forced into an arranged marriage at the age of twelve. After her controlling husband dies, she reunites with and marries her childhood friend, Joseph, and they move to a wilderness area called Cherokee Nation. In spite of the trials of pioneering, the Indian Removal period, slavery, major business failures, and raising a large family, they rise to become the richest family in Cherokee County, Georgia. Finally they are faced with deprivation and reconstruction efforts due to the Civil War, as well as the tragic death of their youngest son.

Release Day June 21st!!

FREE on Kindle Unlimited!!

The Supernatural Council of the Pacific Northwest didn’t thoroughly think through the consequences when we decided to come out of the supernatural closet. Heaven is pissed. Hell is not respecting our treaty. The mundanes and fanatical religious groups our protesting our existence. Let’s not mention, the weirdos who want to bag a monster boyfriend/girlfriend.

Add insult to serious injury. Supes are going missing. Powerful supes. I’m not sure if it’s Heaven, Hell, the protestors, or fanatics wanting their personal non-fictional monster in their closet.

The cops are breathing down my neck because they think I have something to do with it all.

Oh, and the Baba Yaga isn’t a myth. It’s a powerful coven and they want me to join them.

Did I mention my full-blood fae siblings are counting the hours until my second puberty is complete so they can kill me and daddy Oberon says I have to make my own faerie to stop them?

Who has time for that?

For the past decade, Matty Bell has lived safe in a self-made monochromatic life of work-eat-sleep-survive. Living vicariously through her best friend Claire’s perfect life wasn’t the plan, nor her ideal. However, Matty learned long ago that it’s easier to run and hide from life than to deal with the pain of the post-traumatic stress she’s suffered from since being raped at sixteen.

When Claire announces her family is moving, she asks Matty to come too. Having grown up Navy, Matty’s no stranger to picking up and starting over. However, moving half-way around the world to play nanny to Claire’s children doesn’t sound like the new beginning Matty yearns for. Nor does she want to leave without first confronting her fears and coming full-healing-circle. She can’t let another decade slip by before she’s able to trust again.

Endorsed by Award-Winning Director and Survivor Advocate, Angela Shelton, WAITING FOR PAINT TO DRY is a late coming of age story of what it takes to save and find yourself again.
