DOWNLOAD EBOOKBeing a big sister is more complicated than I ever would have imagined. The time had come for me to keep my promise to Mom. Now I have to spend an entire week helping her restock her shelves with spell bags and potions. The timing was actually good, though, because there were some weird things going on at Mom's shop. Things moving around in the middle of the night, my little sister Nancy acting strange, and a new scraggly-looking mutt hanging around the back lot. A whole lot of weird. Okay, so maybe the dog wasn't really weird. All that, coupled with my faithful little Yorkie Doodle not being quite himself... well, I was more than a little stressed out. Then I started wondering if all the weird things weren't somehow related. If they were, then all things kind of pointed at Nancy as the center. Seemed about time to put being a big sister into practice. Find out just what the heck Nancy had managed to get herself into. And, more importantly, see if I could help get her out. Yorkie Doodle Sweetheart is book two of the Yorkie Doodle Mystery Series. A fun-filled adventure with not a single dead body! Please note this is a short novella, not a full-sized novel. Just a quick, fun read to brighten your day!

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe extraordinary, touching true story of Smoky, the smallest--and arguably bravest--dog of World War II In February 1944, as Japanese military advances threatened to overwhelm New Guinea, a tiny, four-pound Yorkshire Terrier was discovered hiding in the island's thick jungles. A total mystery as to her origins, she was adopted by US Army Air Force Corporal William "Bill" Wynne, an air-crewman in a photo reconnaissance squadron, becoming an irreplaceable lucky charm for the unit. When Smoky saved Wynne's life by barking a warning of an incoming kamikaze attack, he nicknamed her the "angel from a foxhole." Smoky's exploits continued when she jumped for the unit in a specially designed parachute and famously joined the aircrews flying daring sorties in the war-torn skies. But her most heroic feat was running a cable through a seventy-foot pipe no wider than four inches in places to enable critical communication lines to be run across an airbase which had just been seized from the enemy, saving hundreds of ground-crew from being exposed to enemy bombing. In recognition of her efforts, Smoky was awarded eight battle stars. Smoky the Brave brings to vivid life the danger and excitement of the many missions of World War II's smallest hero.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA bored Ravenswind witch is a dangerous witch, indeed. With Amie and Opie away at a bounty hunter seminar, and Arc working crazy long hours at the firm, I'm left to my own devices. And just for the record, I totally should have been going to that event too. Not that I'm bitter about that or anything. Well, not too bitter, anyway. And wouldn't you know it, but not just one but both of our bonds agencies were fresh out of work. Or at least, that's what they told me. Personally, I think Amie had a bit to do with that. Like I can't handle chasing down a bond runner on my own or something. So there I was, with three whole days to myself to fill up, and absolutely nothing to fill them with. Until I found out that my good friend, Mabel Morgan, was being blackmailed. Now I'm on a case all by my lonesome. I'll show them that Ruby Ravenswind is a witch not to be messed with. And one that could handle herself just fine, thank you very much. I'll show them all. Yorkie Doodle Dandy is a short Gemstone Coven Paranormal Cozy Mystery Novella. No murder. Just a light, fun, how to prove they done it kind of mystery, starring none other than Ruby Ravenswind and her faithful familiar, Yorkie Doodle.
