In the suburbs of Chicago, Jayceon and Leah were all set to start their new
lives together as husband and wife. In Jace, Leah thought she married the
perfect man until she accidentally stumbles across his deleted secret that
quickly turns her sanity, and their marriage, upside down. The night before
Jayceon marries Leah, he hits the record button on his iPhone when the
curvaceous dancer—Jessica Fox—from his bachelor party makes her
way back to his hotel suite. Soon after, the nasty recorded mistake comes
back to haunt Jace, and the stripper, in the worst way possible. The life
Leah planned with Jace rapidly spins out of control when she becomes
obsessed with the X-rated video, and the girl in it. Leah will do whatever
it takes to right her new husbands wrong, even if it means getting rid of
Jessica Fox for good . . .

The Catcher Dream Tour

Children’s Book

Date Published: 07/29/2022

Publisher: Balboa Press, a division of Hay House, Inc.

“The Catcher Dream” was born as a poem and remains so in this
newly minted Book Five of Kelly Anne Manuel’s Childhood Classics.

In this story the Child is invited on a journey where self-empowerment is
modeled through an interaction between the narrator and a fictionalized
character known as the Catcher Dream.

This is a story where the narrator models strength and courage once an
uncomfortable matter is identified through self-assessment.

“The Catcher Dream” offers a standing invitation to the Child.
The Child will learn that they are individuals in charge of safeguarding
their physical and emotional space. It is an example of how imperative it is
to process the thoughts, feelings, and emotions that uncomfortable matters
provoke.

The simple words take on new meaning as the illustrations pair
perfectly with their presentation. The Child will observe illustrations that
are in alignment with the serious tone of the story. It is important that
the art match the conflict presented and resolved by the narrator.

The narrator shows the Child that once a boundary was encroached upon,
speaking up in a firm manner provided a solution. Children learn how to
handle conflict by observation. It is important for their literature to
address a balanced yet firm approach to conflict resolution.

The author intends this book to be a launch pad for discussions about
personal space, respect, and boundaries. These are all areas that deserve to
be explored frequently as the Child ages. It is in Early Childhood that
futures are being constructed.

“The Catcher Dream” is a tool in a Caregiver’s toolbox to assist
with that healthy formation. The idea that self-empowerment is formed during
these early years is embraced by the author.

The Children who read this book will be rewarded with a valuable lesson
that facing fears results in the positive trait of resilience.

EXCERPT

So my dear reader it was then that I saw,

a little light peaked out from under its claw

No matter I thought and then said with a shout;

don’t ever come back

but do sort yourself out

Kidnapped Clowder Blitz

Romance Thriller

Date Published: 03-28-2023

It’s been over a year since Jimena kidnapped Nic and locked him in
his basement. Turns out demons love being adored, even by serial killers.
This long-term toxic relationship that’s become a marriage hinges on
Jimena’s ability to show he is reformed.

What better way to do this than by adopting a feral cat… or seven.
Jimena’s new obsession shows him the dark side of humanity and how
cruel they can be to unwanted pets.

His murderous intent is now misguided and used to avenge the animals that
can’t protect themselves.

It’s an improvement, sort of. Except the demon cop that’s
helping keep Jimena out of jail is bringing up old feelings and Jimena is
considering upgrading in demons. Might upgrade from avenging pets to
avenging people too, because these mass shootings involving children are
getting a bit annoying.

Jimena and Nic continue their toxic love story that may not last much
longer, especially if Jimena locks a demon cop in his basement.

My So-Called Scoundrel Blitz

Historical Romance, Regency Romance, Steamy Regency Romance

Date Published: March 30, 2023

When one finds a bleeding, half-naked, indescribably handsome man in
one’s bed, does one…

• Scream

• Faint

• Hit him with a large book

• Push him back out the window he climbed in

• Bandage his wounds like a sensible bluestocking-in-the-making

The most perfectly imperfect debutante…

Marigold Spencer was never supposed to have a London Season. For
heaven’s sake, she was never even supposed to become a lady! The
former housemaid of a duke, Marigold is thrust into the limelight when her
siblings marry far above their stations. Suddenly faced with the marriage
mart, her escort and chaperone is not only one of ton’s most notorious
scoundrels**,** but the utterly infuriating man still won’t tell her
where he got the knife wound that led him to her bed that night.

…can still tempt the deadliest of rogues…

Lord Leigh Blakeley’s path took a sharp turn from seductive rake to
vengeful assassin long ago. Yet when he finally returns home for a visit, he
nearly ruins his new sister-in-law’s reputation for good by falling
into her bed after a misadventure. Now Leigh finds himself forced to play
chaperone to a debutante… one who unexpectedly enchants his cynical heart.
And when Leigh foolishly proposes to teach the innocent young Miss Spencer
something of the ways of pleasure, he ignites an inferno of passion that
quickly turns unquenchable.

When another man presents Miss Spencer with an irresistible proposition,
Leigh realizes the desire of his heart is quickly slipping away. Though he’s
never intended to wed, Leigh finds himself making an offer Miss Spencer
can’t possibly refuse… or can she?

In this tantalizing Regency romance by USA Today bestselling author Fenna
Edgewood, desire knows no bounds as the most unlikely of lovers succumb to
the flames of their passion and defy society’s expectations.

Escaping My Demons Virtual Book Tour

Autobiography

Date Published: November 6, 2022

Publisher: Ocean Reeve Publishing Queensland Australia

Throughout this book we learn about the sufferance of a baby boy, unwanted
by his teenage parents.

This boy grew up with an aggressive and womanising father that constantly
reminded him that he was a mistake that ruined his father’s
life.

While been beaten and mentally abused, all he craved from his parents was
love but received nothing but humiliation and sufferance from his
father.

This caused detrimental trauma to the young boy, and he grew up believing
that he would never achieve anything in life.

I was this little boy, and this is my story.

What Readers Are Saying

“Great read, very compelling, could not put it down. Read in one
sitting. You are a good guy, glad that I know you!”

– Peter Healey

“Reading Escaping my Demons gave me an insight into how difficult
Joseph’s childhood was … This would be a good self-help book for those who
have had less-than-ideal family life and the proof has shown that in the end
we make our own lives and can choose toe either be a victim or a
winner.”

-Vicki Ebert

“The book ‘Escaping my Demons’ is Fagarazzi’s road map to the
emotional freedom he now enjoys today.”

-Kez Wickham St George

EXCERPT

My story is about surviving domestic violence as well as mental and physical sexual abuse. It’s about living and surviving in an abusive, non-loving relationship and finding ways to overcome it by becoming a strong-minded, resilient, optimistic individual and finding ways to believe in yourself no matter how often you have been unjustly ridiculed, mischaracterised, and discriminated against.

I hope to give my readers an understanding of my pain and suffering and to know what it was like to walk in my shoes.

I want this book to be a reminder that, even though I’m seventy years old, I still carry these scars; this book is cathartic to write, and I wish to help others experiencing what I have to find ways to overcome their pain much earlier in their lives.

About the Author

Joseph Fagarazzi was born in Venice, Italy in 1951. His life story, and his
book, Escaping My Demons, are based on his strength and persistence in
surviving as an unwanted ridiculed child by biased parents.
