In Plain Sight

by Alison Packard

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GENRE:  Contemporary Romance

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

Romance writer Maya Lange is stuck in the small town of Two Forks, Wyoming. It’s not the happily ever after she wanted for herself, but neither was dating a man who runs a criminal enterprise or witnessing a murder. Now she’s in witness protection, with a new name she hates and a permanent mistrust of men. That doesn’t keep the sparks from flying with her neighbor, Josh Madsen, though she suspects he’s hiding secrets of his own. She’s right to be wary. Josh is actually Jace Reed, a former undercover NYPD officer hiding from the mob. Jace knows his beautiful and mysterious new neighbor isn’t who she seems. Is she there to spy on him or to kill him? All he knows for sure is that she’s tempting him to do things he hasn’t thought about in years. How can either of them learn to trust when surrounded by so many secrets?

Former bull rider Ryan McCallister has returned to Two Forks with one goal in mind: to win back his childhood sweetheart, local bakery owner Katie Crawford. Ryan left eight years earlier for all the right reasons, but Katie doesn’t know that. All she knows is that he broke her heart. Can she trust him enough to take a second chance on love?

As Katie befriends Maya, and Jace works with Ryan on his ranch, their lives become entwined in ways none of them ever expected. Will their shattered pasts destroy the hopes any of them might have for a happy future? The truth is hiding in plain sight.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

EXCERPT ONE:

“You just move in?” he called out, lowering the drill to his side. The move made him look like a gunslinger, albeit a modern-day one without a shirt.

“Yes,” she said, her mouth dry for no good reason. Okay, maybe the reason was the way his broad chest tapered down like a vee to lean waist. His jeans were faded, and rode low on his hips. Yeah, that was probably why her mouth was dry, and another part of her anatomy wouldn’t be if she stared at him for much longer.

“You need any help?”

“No. I’m good.” She wished she could see his face more clearly. If his face was half as impressive as his body, she might need to jump into the lake to cool off. “But thanks for asking.”

“You’re welcome. If you need anything, let me know.”

“I will,” she said. “What’s your name?”

He wiped his brow. “Josh.”

“I’m Sara.” She wished the feds had given her any other name besides the name of her high school nemesis. The horrible girl made her life miserable for four straight years, and while it wasn’t rational, she’d hated the name ever since. “How long have you lived here?”

“About six months.”

“And you’re still here?” she asked. Why would a gorgeous specimen live in such isolation? Unless he wasn’t alone. A man that hot most likely had someone in his life.

“It’s not so bad,” he said after a few seconds. He lifted the drill. “I’d better get back to this before the sun goes down. Let me know if you need anything.” He turned back to the railing and powered on the drill.

A bit disappointed their conversation was over, Maya’s gaze lingered on his muscular back. Maybe Two Forks might not be as dull as she’d initially thought. But then, a man was the reason she was living smack dab in the middle of the country, in a town with only one main street and no Starbucks. She turned on her heel, walked back to the deck and into the house. It would be a cold day in hell before she ever trusted another man. No matter how damn hot he was.

The Democratization of the Private Market by Carine Schneider - Book Blast - Giveaway - Enter Daily!

The Democratization of the Private Market

by Carine Schneider

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GENRE: Non-Fiction (Financial)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

Facebook, Uber, Robinhood: all were private companies at some point. Historically, there has been no way for investors to easily buy and sell shares in private companies. With the introduction of blockchain technology, digital securities, and decentralized financial solutions, the ability to grow the private market is on the horizon. Regulators around the world are rushing to catch up and understand how to protect investors who want to participate in this market. This book reviews the regulatory, technical, and societal challenges to open this asset class to more investors in the future.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

EXCERPT ONE:

Currently, US residents who want to invest in the private market need to have a certain net worth to participate. Under the cover of this exclusive private club is access to investment opportunities, supporting innovation, and extreme risk. As the private market has grown, the types of investment instruments and the complexity of the investment structure has increased significantly. Unlike investing in the public market, investing in private ventures can be complicated and requires an understanding of securities law, tax strategy, and, in many cases, future technology that can only be envisioned by innovative entrepreneurs. The key characteristics of the private market are: • Less company regulation • Limited public reporting requirements, especially for smaller companies • A lack of information symmetry • Only investment professionals, or the ultra-wealthy, can invest (accredited investors) With the changes in technology solutions, the advent of new financial solutions, and a change in the way some founders approach building their companies, these characteristics may change as the private market grows. Dan Gallagher, General Counsel of Robinhood and a former Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Commissioner, describes the private market as “a vibrant ecosystem.” Capital is key to growth in a private company, and it can come from various sources — professional individual investors (sometimes called “angel investors”), venture capital firms (VC firms), friends and family, and crowdfunding campaigns. Private equity (PE) is sometimes confused with private company investment. PE firms tend to acquire mature companies and recapitalize and re-organize their targets. PE firms generally aren’t looking to make individual investments alongside other investors. For the purposes of this book, we will mostly focus on non-PE owned companies, although we do discuss liquidity in PE funds. The private market is attractive because investors in privately held companies hope to quickly increase the company’s value, then sell their stakes later through a buyout, trade sale, recapitalization, or listing on a public market via initial public offerings (IPOs).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How to Control an Entire Planet…

In 5 Easy Steps

A Planetary Expose to Empower Evolving Humans

by C.D. Hill-Lavalle

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GENRE: Religion / Christian Life / Spiritual Growth

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

A STEP-BY-STEP ACCOUNT OF A PLANET'S "TAKEOVER"

Written under the guise of a Sci-Fi thriller, this little book ends up revealing more than just a riveting exposé. It soon reveals the very mysteries our civilization has been searching for, for centuries!

The "five steps" (narrated by an ancient and technologically superior race) tells how they easily set up their control and indoctrination of the planet's populace to fulfill their sinister agenda. Initially seen as a detailed and prophetic set of instructions, the reader will soon suspect: this vague reference to another time and place, to an unknown and primitive world, is too familiar, too real and too foreboding.

All darkness will come to light as you journey down the "rabbit hole of the Matrix", soon revealing the very "Who, What, How and Why" to every major event occurring globally today. More importantly, you'll discover the "simplest" solutions to gain back and enhance your personal freedom, prosperity and future happiness!

It may just change your life and it may just change life as we know it on this planet!

"Fantastic...stimulating!" "One of the most interesting books I've ever read, second only to the Bible!"

~ Ms. J. G. Shuker

Great-grandmother & native elder to 14

children, and a retired pharmacist assistant.

"In her new book, Cheryl brings a unique and intriguing viewpoint on the world we live in today." "Thought provoking!"

~ Jessica Busch, Program Manager

Women's Own Resource Centre

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

EXCERPT ONE:

How you use the facts presented, I will let you decide, based on whatever stage of enlightenment you find yourself in. Whether you are an ambitious human wanting to conquer a less evolved race, a lover of mysteries, crimes and intriguing tales, or someone who is seeking answers to the meaning of life—this book will surely satisfy.

In this time and era of “No More Secrets”, where controversy and scandals are becoming the norm, I offer you a new exposé, a “Planetary Exposé”— one filled with mystery, corruption, intrigue and plenty of “food for thought”.

At the very least, I present these words to plant a seed in the minds of the inhabitants of this little blue planet, a planet that represents merely a tiny speck among the many universes that exist today. Our planet is the youngest, with a human population described by many other life-forms as: “uneducated bags of mostly water, primitive and savage in their current evolution.”

Under the guise of a science fiction, the first five chapters reveal an actual planetary takeover and the steps that were used to set up control of its populace, narrated (in italics) by one of the ancient and dark race of beings who had been involved with two, attesting to their proficiency in this process. One planet, after years of their control, exhausted its life—a physical legacy of a doomed culture. The second planet (a more successful takeover), this alien race will now refer to—one still under their control, and one that has been for thousands of years.

From the sixth chapter forward, I take the story in a new direction, revealing more important history, secrets, discovery and channel—offering powerful solutions to aid our own planet in its present day survival and ways to improve the health, safety and prosperity of all human beings. Note pages are added with the hope as you make your discoveries, it may inspire you to make a difference in your own life, or that of others. You may even discover more of your past within these pages—stifled memories of a distant yet forgotten ancestry.

Written to educate the inhabitants of our own planet, this five-step process is also a confessional of sorts, by a dissenter one could say, of this alien race. I’ve heard that he is one of many of his kind who is tiring of the control and deceit they have perpetuated. In its telling, there may be hope for our own understanding: that all souls, aliens and humans alike, can evolve, absolve their misgivings, and seek forgiveness. This is something we as humans would do well to master for our own peace and evolution.

This book, I’ve also found, has some divine “magic” within its pages. Every reader will discover a part of this story that is especially dedicated to them; and once read, then randomly opened with intent, each reader will find a valuable message for that day.

I hope that it will not only inform, but inspire, long after its completion— helping you gain the wisdom and power to not only enhance your own life, but all life on our planet.

Follow this journey and decide for yourself.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GUEST POST:

10 REASONS YOU SHOULD READ MY BOOK:

1.) It is for anyone who is frustrated and curious about what’s REALLY going on today—wants answers, wants the truth and wants simple solutions to heal and thrive in today’s chaos.

2.) Because all it may take (according to readers) is ONE CHAPTER to make a difference in your life and receive exactly what you need to heal, transform and be empowered.

(chapters listed and found on page 2 of author’s website “cdhill-lavalleauthor.com”).

3.) It is for all those who care about the earth, our natural resources, our birds, wildlife and pets—who care about their health and the environment and wish to protect, retain and improve it all for their survival and their children’s future in the simplest ways possible.

4.) It’s primarily written for those who are “Awakening”: “Old Souls, Light-workers, Light-warriors and True Humanitarians” who wish to “Make a Difference”--realizing we’ve been controlled through fear and our present systems—those now wanting a better and simpler way that can give freedom, security, justice and prosperity to ALL people around the globe.

5.) Because this information will aid in your overall health and your personal evolution; and, according to Spirit: “All we need is 144,000 people to wake-up and evolve, for “EVERYTHING” to change for the better globally!” “All it takes is enough people seeing the truth (the darkness and corruption that this pandemic is finally bringing out), for the “Light of Awakening” to unify the masses for change.

6.) Because everything written is written in simple terms, easily understood and completely conversational, and, according to Anthony Aycock (an Indie Reviewer): “..it is impossible to put down.” It is an accumulation of over 50 years of my personal research and discoveries. Everything written about has been either personally experienced or been validated and authenticated at least “Three” times before I’d ever write about it. The most controversial subjects needed “Extra”--amazing “Miracles” (a future book?) that I had to personally experience to validate their truth.

7.) Your present beliefs may be tested as you travel down the “Rabbit Hole of the “Matrix”, as much may seem unbelievable, initially; however, as you keep reading, it will all make sense.  One scholar from the U.S. (who read my book) gave a glowing review on Amazon stating: “This woman offers a great deal of truth here. This should be mandatory reading in high school and in universities. It offers our only way out and forward. Buy it, share it, live it.

You will discover what you’ve never been taught and “Why”. You’ll also find It would have given you too much power and mastery of your life had you known, and that would have ruined the control our fear-based systems are currently generating. It was always necessary to keep the masses in fear—fear they weren’t “Worthy” and fear they didn’t have “Enough”.

8.) You’ll discover the secrets of climate change and new scientific discoveries that are coming to validate all I relate, providing ways to create free energy for all (naturally, without hurting us or the environment), fresh water and healthier food--even a natural cure for Alzheimer’s! You’ll discover the origin of our recent pandemic, who’s behind it and their ultimate agenda--why the lock-downs, the censorship, the separation of families, the fear of getting “Infected by everyone” and the resulting chaos this has created.

9.) You’ll discover how the energies on this planet have dramatically changed in recent years, why things are manifesting (from fear or love) faster than ever before, and how important it is to find “Joy” in every day--for your health, well-being and abundance.

10.) SPECIAL NOTE: This, my first book (and legacy to the world), contains truth that “Big Money” wants hidden. Many things have been done to stop its distribution: censoring my promotions (like they are censoring many doctors today on the internet), and even Amazon has inflated the cost of my book to reduce sales. However, you can still get these books at regular prices through “Chapters”, “Barnes and Noble” and others. The links are found on my author website at: “https://cdhill-lavalleauthor.com”.

Enjoy the read and THANKS for listening! I hope to connect with all my readers someday and assist any “Old Souls” or young “Light Warriors” who wish to “Make a Difference”. Take care, take time for yourself and say “Hello” when you get a chance!

AUTHOR BIO:

Born of humble beginnings, Cheryl could be seen as just an ordinary person; but she's an "old soul" who has had some extra-ordinary experiences in her life. This, her first book (written in a love for humanity), is an accumulation of over fifty years of research and study, validated through personal experience and a host of miraculous events. Initially, this research was for her own personal healing and evolution - to "make a difference" in the world. It now facilitates her gifts as a quiet channel and intuitive healer (hoping to re-open a nature and healing retreat again).

Born with a passion for business, she became the sole income-earner during most of her twenty-seven years of marriage; however, through that experience and business success she also witnessed much injustice, abuse and discrimination, fueled by our current systems. Life eventually took her to see and experience the "other side of the tracks", meeting thousands who were struggling with poverty, illness and addictions—all trying to cope with (or "escape" from) a system that has plagued mankind for centuries, and now, threatens the very planet we reside upon.

She is compelled to share her knowledge and discoveries with the world and "Right the Wrongs" done, so humanity can learn the truth of their existence and their potential for change. After six years of compiling information and unforeseen challenges, this writing has now emerged at what may be considered the perfect time - a time when the world is in massive fear and chaos, with people "questioning" more than ever before, realizing what's really important in life and wanting solutions for their own peace, healing and prosperity. In this "Time of Awakening", it is hoped that many will discover: that ALL life matters and everyone has the potential to heal, prosper and evolve "naturally", and with grace.

She is hoping, as this book is shared and distributed globally, that she can in some way make the difference she has sought for humanity and for life on our planet, and help others who wish the same.

Going, Going, Dead

by Kirsten Weiss

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GENRE: Cozy Mystery

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

At an auction, competition can be deadly...

When Maddie attends an estate auction of artifacts from America’s spiritualist era, it’s just another day in the life of a paranormal museum owner…. Until she discovers the body of the murdered auctioneer.

Her mother is convinced the murderer is after a mysterious statuette that once belonged to the town’s Ladies Aid Society. With the holidays approaching, Maddie and friends dive into the mad world of obsessive collectors to find the missing statuette… and a killer.

Maddie tracks her suspects through a secluded gothic estate, in the wineries of Central California, and along the streets of small-town San Benedetto. But this clever criminal is determined to win at all costs. Will the killer use Maddie’s friends as the ultimate weapon against her?

If you love laugh-out-loud mysteries, witty heroines, quirky cats, and a touch of the paranormal, you’ll love Going, Going, Dead, book 6 in the Paranormal Museum mystery series. Read this twisty cozy mystery today!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

EXCERPT ONE:

If the mansion had been open to the public, my museum would have gone bust.

I turned, gawping at the colorful spirit boards covering its dining room walls. A glass cabinet displayed planchettes and other tools of the medium’s trade. The gothic home was amazing and unnerving and had loads more artifacts than my paranormal museum.

But the late owner’s hermit-like nature had been my museum’s gain. Few knew or had seen the mysteries within his creeptastic mansion. Bwahaha…

“I cannot believe you could be so ungrateful.” My paranormal collector, Herb, glared up at me. Light from the dusty chandelier glinted off his coke-bottle glasses. His narrow chin quivered.

“I’m not ungrateful,” I said. “I just wanted to come to the auction.” Sheesh. I raked my hands through my brown hair, then tied it into a loose knot. “I mean, it’s so close to San Benedetto.”

The older man’s eyes narrowed. “What are you really here for, Madelyn?” He said my name like my mother might on a bad day—a bad day for me.

“The catalog says they’re selling a vintage Zoltan fortune telling machine. It’s not cursed or anything,” I said. “So, I didn’t think you’d—”

“I knew it would come to this.” A chill draft stirred his wispy hair and raised goosebumps on my skin. “You’re trying to chisel me out of my commission.”

“No.” Okay, yes. “You specialize in paranormal objects. The Zoltan isn’t paranormal. It’s just cool.”

It wasn’t as big or impressive as the Zoltar machine from the movie Big. But that was a feature, not a bug. My museum was getting cramped, and it needed new exhibits to bring people in.
