We were unbreakable.

We were strong, and we were resilient.

Just like the olive tree.

Nisma is like any other 16-year-old. She goes to school, she fights with
her brothers, and she loves her grandmother, Nazik. But, life for Nisma
isn’t as simple as boys and books: Nisma is an Islamic Palestinian in
Israel, and her new friend, Hannah, is a Zionist.

When Hannah’s mother is attacked and Nisma invites the pair to live
in her family home, she has no idea of the chain of events that she has set
in motion. What unfolds will show Nisma that in a country shrouded by
corruption, bigotry and segregation, love and compassion is her best chance
at survival.

A love letter to the Palestinian people, Mariam El Houli’s The Olive
Tree is a heartbreaking and gripping debut – a tale of friendship,
strength and loss, and the fatal consequences systematic prejudice can have
on a country’s people.

Knights in Time Virtual Book Tour

Knights in Time cover

Box Set, First 3 Books in the Knights In Time Series

Romance

 

Date Published: 09-05-2014

Publisher: Books to Go Now

Best-selling series, together for the first time in a boxed set.

Three friends…warrior knights, One battle will change their lives, Love will change their worlds.

HEROES LIVE FOREVER

Elinor Hawthorne has inherited a house haunted by two medieval knights, Basil Manneville and Guy Guiscard. Basil is literally the knight of her dreams. She never expected to “meet” a ghost face to face let alone fall in love with one. Living the normal life together that they’d want is impossible unless fate intervenes.

A lifetime later fate does intervene. Basil, still in love with Elinor, is told her spirit lives on in a young woman. He is given another chance at life to find her.

JOURNEY IN TIME

The budding romance between London attorney, Shakira Constantine, and her client, Alex Lancaster is put to the test when the couple finds themselves torn through time back to the medieval world. It’s a world Alex has a strong connection to, a connection that will cost him his life unless they can find a way to return to this time. Without him, Shakira is condemned to live in a dangerous medieval world alone.

Together they’ll struggle to discover a way back to the modern world while dealing with the political and social intrigues of 14th Century England. The intrigues of that world all too often work against their efforts to get home.

KNIGHT BLINDNESS

Stephen Palmer, a wounded medieval knight finds himself torn through time from the battlefield to the modern and alien world.

Seriously injured, he now must make his way in a world he has no context for and no knowledge about.

Esme Crippen is hired as his tutor. Love is something he does understand and as the two fall into love, they both must overcome the fact the world thinks him mad with his time-travel talk, including Esme.

EXCERPT

Strong arms caught her. Strong arms? Before that curious thought formed in her confused brain, she found herself upright. 

Elinor blinked several times, trying to get her bearings.

“I didn’t feel that. I’ll look behind me and see no one is there,” she reassured herself not wholly convinced. Prepared for flight over fight, she spun around.

A man stood a few feet away. At least what was visible looked like a man. He appeared to be a knight, similar to the one in her painting, except semi-transparent. She gasped, momentarily more stunned than afraid. The knight seemed as disconcerted as she was shocked. Two ebony eyebrows slashed downward into a harsh frown as he stared back. He composed himself. The fleeting moment where he looked rattled, gone. 

“Milady.” The corners of his mouth tipped in weak smile. “I would’ve liked us to have met under better circumstances.”

For a Limited Time Only $.99

April 1st – 10th!!

 

Critics call this cozy mystery series “a laugh-out-loud, whimsical
adventure full of tasty Italian dishes and adorable cats!”

Anna Romano is a middle-aged, Italian woman who is also a successful
published author, a cat-mama, and an excellent cook with a hankering for
Italian cuisine. She lives by herself in her quaint house, in a quiet
community, with a white picket fence in Central New Jersey.

In the first installment, on a typical day in Anna’s somewhat-perfect life,
a book-signing event turns her world upside down. Is it a case of mistaken
identity or was she just being paranoid?

After being stalked for weeks, Anna quickly finds herself literally ‘tied
up’, fighting for her life, and desperate to get back home to her cats; all
while unwittingly falling in love with the detective who was trying to save
her. How she finds her way out of this mess is anyone’s guess!

Find out more about Anna and the dangerous cases of murder and mayhem she
‘haphazardly’ gets herself into, in the new Anna Romano Mystery
Series!
