Could You Still Trust God if You Were Sold to the Highest Bidder?

I remember the horror I felt the day I discovered that some women sold their bodies to survive, but that was next to nothing compared to the day I learned that some were sold, literal modern-day slaves. If I recall correctly, I vomited. It's kind of a reasonable response, you know? Some authors Continue Reading

Yeah, I’m Guilty! Wouldn’t You Be Crazy Excited, Too?

I'd been told the drive from Paris to Lyon would take about five hours.  I made it in just over four.  Driving in the middle of the night didn't hurt. There was such a delicate balance between whizzing through the country as fast as I could get away from the Louvre and being so reckless that I Continue Reading

This Gritty, Edgy Southern Fiction Delves into a Fascinating Mystery

Set in 1973, Paul Attaway has written a book featuring Charleston, South Carolina, family relationships, and murder.

Finding a Memory Release

This will probably shock many of you, but I'm here to confess that I was a weird kid.  I'll give you a second to let that sink in.  Done laughing?  Yeah.  Didn't think so. I'll wait...

A family legacy so deeply rooted in the soil of Ca A family legacy so deeply rooted in the soil of California's Napa Valley that it stretches back a hundred years.
Avelino Carrillo is home from the Pacific Theater and wounded in more ways than one. Determined to earn back his family's vineyard, despite the underhanded machinations of a local "land baron," his new life home is everything he could've hoped for and nothing like he expected. It's heartache and joy, love and acceptance, and rejection and disdain. As he shares his family's stories with the people living in his family home, he's even more determined to succeed than ever. If not for himself and his family, then for the young woman who has stolen his heart.
Deepest Roots of the Heart is available on Kindle, "free" through Kindle Unlimited, and also as an audiobook narrated by the fabulous Thom Rivera @thomriveraofficial. His ability to flip between accents is astounding.
When Reid decided on "no girlfriends" for his firs When Reid decided on "no girlfriends" for his first year out of prison, he hadn't counted on prayer-singing, guitar-playing nurse Kelsey. Oh, and he hadn't counted on a matchmaking florist (not to mention said florist's obsession with daisies!). When a floral fiasco says all the right things to the right woman at the wrong time, Reid has to decide if his decision was God-directed or if romance was part of His plans all along.
Available FREE from 9/12-9/16/2026. Always "Free" on Kindle Unlimited.
