What inspired you to write your book?
I wrote this book to explore how much a true soulmate might be able to forgive for love.
Here is a short sample from the book:
Prologue
I’m only twenty-three, but I’ve already lost my one great love.
Maybe the fact that I had one at all makes me lucky, but it doesn’t feel it.
Loving and losing at such a young age is something I wouldn’t wish on anyone, something with which I’ve had far too much experience.
But that’s all behind me now.
As for the future, I wouldn’t say it looks bleak, but— considering what I’ve become— it would be naïve to think anyone could ever love me again the way Sebastian did.
He was the kind of man people are always saying doesn’t exist anymore outside of early Hollywood films. He was handsome, intelligent, charming, and he could make me laugh even when the sadness of my life was suffocating.
I’m lucky to have known him, lucky to have loved him first…whereas he’s probably realized by now that he’s lucky I left without saying goodbye.
But I had no choice.
On the plus side, ever since then I’ve had choices. I haven’t made the best ones, of course, but who does? At least being able to make them means I have total freedom for the first time in my life.
Well, not total freedom.
I’ll never have freedom from my darkest secret…or the nightmares it provokes. I’ll never be free from the knowledge that my secret makes me unworthy of love. Or at least, the kind of love that really matters.
Oh well.
If the fact that I loved and lost remains my proudest accomplishment, then my life will not have been wasted.
Besides, it could be worse.
At least Sebastian doesn’t know the truth about what happened. At least, in his memory, I’ll always be young and carefree.
And in my darkest moments, it’s a relief to find that comfort.

My Fairy Godmother Must Be on a Strike by Maria Arca
As it turns out, challenges can often reveal the greatest opportunities.
Ada Lee was perfectly content just being herself. Yes, was – then her boyfriend David suddenly got sick of her and broke off their relationship. To make things worse, the break-up was anything but graceful. Poor Ada overheard David trashing her to a “frenemy”, saying she had put on weight, become socially awkward, and was all-in-all incompetent at life. Ouch!
What band-aid could possibly heal this ailing heart? Ada’s friends think they have the magic cure and quickly swoop into action to help Ada patch her broken spirit with a beautiful exterior. Ada’s new makeover boosts her confidence to new heights as her friends encourage her to focus on the superficial and lose weight, dabble in make-up, obtain a new fashion sense (or get one, period), and touch up her social skills.
Ada’s new look turns heads and brings in all the attention she could ever want. So why does Ada feel strangely empty? Sometimes the most obvious things are the most difficult to see, and Ada may miss an important opportunity right under her nose. As she finds out, her new glitz and glamor have blinded her, and she is about to miss life-changing opportunities and hurt those she loves. Will she be able to get back to what really matters and fix things before it is too late?
Author Rebecca Moisio explores self discovery and what is really important in “My Fairy Godmother Must Be on a Strike”. Her highly-rated first novels are enjoyed by readers looking for fresh characters and entertaining plot twists. Be sure not to “pull an Ada”!

Who Killed ‘Tom Jones’? by Gale Martin
Ellie Overton is a 28-year-old rest home receptionist with a pussycat nose who also happens to be gaga for the pop singer Tom Jones. Regrettably single, she is desperate to have a white-hot love relationship, like those she’s read about in romance novels. Following an astrological hunch, she attends a Tom Jones Festival and meets an available young impersonator with more looks and personality than talent. Though he’s knocked out of the contest, he’s still in the running to become Ellie’s blue-eyed soul mate—until he’s accused of killing off the competition. It’s not unusual that the handsome police detective working the case is spending more time pursuing Ellie than collaring suspects. So, she enlists some wily and witty rest home residents to help find the real murderer. Will Ellie crack the case? Must she forfeit her best chance for lasting love to solve the crime?

An excellent athlete who is highly intelligent, charismatic–without
modesty–and handsome too, Seth has it all except for the girl. But not
for long. Like it or not, he’s determined to win her heart–and get in
her pants. So what if it means letting the military replace a few parts
and becoming the world’s first cybernetic spy? Cool missions, a hot
chick, awesome toys, it all sounds like a dream come true until the
military decides to terminate their billion dollar project.
But they didn’t count on their project soldier fighting back.
It’s Not My Favorite by Rue
The Hutchinson sisters grew up under the piercing, pious stare of a preacher’s wife. Plagued by her ever-disappointed refrain, “Well, it’s not my favorite.” Their search to find their own way in the world has not been a screaming success.
Gwenn is a good girl, a responsible girl…a miserable girl. Her steady diet of vivid fantasies is the only part of her life she enjoys. She daydreams of new parents, a more exciting job and an actual love life. She struggles to run a business as The Organizer, while she stacks relationship carcasses in the closet of her own completely unorganized life. Her only real friend is her younger sister, Rachel.
Rachel is outgoing, risqué and happily gay. The only people who don’t know this little secret are her judgmental parents, Pastor Ed and Shirley. Rachel struggles mightily to dodge her mother’s constant attempts to set her up with “nice Christian boys”; while holding down a job at the bakery and keeping up with her rock-star girlfriend!
Gwenn uncovers a photo that brings her imaginary world careening into reality. She’s forced to ask herself if wealthy artist, Daniel Gregory is the answer she’s been seeking or a grand delusion.
Break-ups, meltdowns, family secrets, wild nights and finally a journey of self-discovery to exotic New Zealand keep Gwenn and Rachel stumbling toward independence.
So grab your parka and join the Hutchinson girls, as they experience the Lake Effect in Duluth, Minnesota!
