About the book
Sixteen-year-old Tracie lives in a house divided by fear and a family secret she has yet to discover. Her grandma gives her a hint and the tools to unearth the past. Are the clues the answer to her prayers? If so, she’ll take her younger brother and split. Her dream can’t come true quick enough.  
One night, when her dad is in one of his violent rages, opportunity pounds on Tracie’s door. A male friend offers her an escape. But there’s a catch. She can’t sneak her brother out with her parents watching, and her dad demands her friend leave immediately.   On a whim, she goes, too. After all, he just wants to keep her safe and swears to have her best interest at heart.  
Caught in a current of lies and deception, Tracie’s swept farther from home than she ever expects. She can’t trust anyone, not even her mother. Exposing the secret may save Tracie and her little brother, but at what cost?

​A peek inside the cover
Cal raked his fingers through his long hair. “Are you moving back in here? Your dad is a maniac.”
“You heard him. I don’t have a choice. Debby will have her baby in a couple weeks, and I have nowhere to go.”
“You can live with me. My place is small, but we could make it work.”
I didn’t know him well. What if we didn’t get along after I went with him? Besides, Dad would call the law on us.
The door rattled, and my heart thumped when it flew open.
“You know boys aren’t allowed in here,” Dad said.
“Dad, we’re just talking —”
“Shut your mouth, or I’ll shut it for you.” His posture stiffened, and he had the ‘don’t test me look,’ in his eye.
We had to get out of here. Dad blocked the exit. Rather than challenging him, I stayed put. I could hear Cal breathing. He was no match for my father.
Dad glared at both of us. “Cal it’s time to say goodbye.” He stomped away.
I exhaled. It was safer with Cal here. Any other time, Dad would’ve stripped off his belt and whipped me. There was a five-minute window for Cal to leave before Dad threw him out and go after me next.
“He’s crazy. Come with me.” Cal sat on the bed’s edge, one legdangling ready to stand.

Inspiration for writing Run Girl Run
The inspiration for Run Girl Run came from wanting to give hope to teens living in fear. Domestic abuse is America’s dirty little secret. Not long ago, no one talked about it. Beatings were a common family affair. Bruises went unchecked, and neighbors, teachers and relatives ignored or shamed the victims. 
My coming-of-age book gives an intimate view of strained family dynamics from a sixteen-year-old girl’s perspective. The main character flees her situation, but she longs for a deep family connection we all need. Along the way, secrets unfold. I’ve always been a fan of these kind of tales, so I invented one that I think readers will enjoy. 
Despite the serious plot, the readers will discover many lighter moments on their reading journey. And the story ends on a hopeful note.

Happy Thanksgiving Eve. This is one of my favorite holidays. Nothing says more homey than gatherings of family and friends I've been in prep mode for awhile making all my cook aheads and setting the table. I'll be brining the turkey for the first time today. We'll see how that goes. And before you go, take a chance at www.goodreads.com/book/show/61160281-kisa-shield-mates-of-dar for an opportunity to win an eBook. I hope you enjoy getting to know today's guest as much as I have. So let's dive in.

Hi, Ana! I’m so glad you could join me around the fire today. Please introduce yourself. 
I’m a mom. I work full-time in the medical field. I live in the suburbs of New York. I hate commuting, but I like driving. My cats drive me nuts, but I love them.  

You sound busy. When you get some downtime, how do you spend it?
 I like to go to the gym when I can. I read mainly at night before bed. I like to read mystery with romance, but I usually fall asleep within a few pages. 

As an author, who do you have as your support system?
I belong to several online writing groups. I used to have more time to take writing classes, but now I mainly rely on The Wild Rose Press author network for support in my writing career. 

I hear you. I’m thankful for those authors as well. What or who authors inspire your writing?
I’ve recently been delving into psychological thrillers. I’m currently reading The Housemaid by Frieda McFadden. I find the twists and turns that you don’t see coming very appealing. The whole story turns on its head. I tend to add some twists in my stories too.  

One of my favorite things is finding names for my characters. How do you select yours? 
I usually pick names I’ve heard and liked in the past, and then I dig them out of my memory when I’m writing. 

I hate washing windows. The streaks never seem to all go away. What’s your worst household chore?
Dishes 

Researching for a story and be daunting? How do you manage it?
I do most of my research for books online. YouTube is a great source for getting different perspectives and can provide great visuals.  

Do you read your reviews?
I shouldn’t read reviews, but after the initial sting of a bad one, I try and take in the information as constructive and hopefully apply it to the next project.

My email folder is filled to the brim with people offering to aid my writing career. What’s the best money spent on writing:
I think the best money I spent as a writer was on professional editing. I think of it as part of the learning process.

Did you ever win something?
In middle school, I won first place in a ballroom dance contest. I don’t have any talent for dancing. I am just able to follow directions. 

What subjects should be taught in school? 
How to do your taxes, and how to buy a house.

Ana, thank you for spending time around the fire with me today. Before you head off, will you tell us about your book and where we can find out more about it and you?

What inspired the story
Benny O’Brien is a supporting character from my first book with The Wild Rose Press, The Gingerbread Cookie Code. In this book, Benny plays the smart, confident, and charming best friend to Clay.     
As I was thinking about writing my next book, Crinkles All the Way, my thoughts kept circling back to Benny…and what was his real challenge? What made him tick? I began thinking about learning styles and successful people I’ve known with dyslexia. That clicked for me, and I began sketching out Benny and Claudia, their workplace romance, and a little “twist” with the cookie recipe and scrapbook. I had a lot of fun with this story and hope readers will enjoy it!

Hi everyone! Today's Around the Fire is with one of my camping buddies. Nope, we haven't shared an actual fire yet but one of these days, Tena, we are going to have a great time swapping stories while toasting smores and sipping a hot chocolate or maybe an adult beverage.
Hey there DV. I’m thrilled to be on your fantastic blog today.  Thank you for allowing me to share my thoughts on backstory and chat about my new holiday release, MERINGUE SNOWFLAKE MAGIC, part of the multi-author Christmas Cookie Series from The Wild Rose press. All books in the series can be read as a standalone.
Oh, maybe instead of smores you'll bake us some of those magical cookies, please and thank you. Now you have a little something to say about "backstory" don't you?

MERINGUE SNOWFLAKE MAGIC   
by
Tena Stetler
Buy Link: https://books2read.com/u/bzVO19 

Will her presence in Raven's Hollow put the holiday festival and cookie contest at risk?

​After being in the wrong place at the wrong time Wynter Dahl finds herself with a new name and new home.  Whisked into the Witness Protection program she finds herself in the Podunk town of Raven’s Hollow, Colorado.  She has more than one secret to keep and is not sure who she can trust, though the deputy sheriff is hard to resist.  Braydon “Blaze” Nightwing, owns Dragon Fire Pizza and takes his job as deputy sheriff seriously. He means to protect his town and its residents, including the mysterious newcomer. He rescues her after a tumble and finds himself in over his head.  He senses she’s more than she seems but so is he. When her cover is blown and her life is in danger it will take the whole town to save her and their annual holiday festival and cookie contest. What is Christmas without a little magic? 
How about a sneak peek between the pages of MERINGUE SNOWFLAKE MAGIC? The wind had changed direction, and the pretty ice crystals were like tiny needles buffeting her face. She looked up and down Main Street and saw only one stoplight. Finally, she turned around and walked backward for a few yards. Glancing over her shoulder, she could see her street. She started to turn around, her foot slipped on the curb and arms flailing, down she went with a thud. Clutching her precious box of goodies in front of her, they were safe. However, the mug of hot chocolate popped the lid and sent hot chocolate in all directions, including all over her brand new bright-colored parka and the sidewalk. When she tried to get up, each foot went in a different direction, then down she went again. Getting to her knees, she crawled to the sidewalk, carefully got to her feet, and tried to brush the wet snow off. The damp material stuck to her. She began to shiver as the wind whipped around her. “Hey lady, you all right?” A man stopped his SUV in the middle of the road and jumped out. “That was quite a spill you took.” He smiled wide, picking up her mug and lid. “But I see your goodies from Candi’s place are still intact. Let me give you a ride. You’re going to freeze as wet as your clothes are.” He held out his hand. “Braydon Nightwing, but everyone calls me Blaze. I own the pizza place a few blocks down the way.”  When she reached for his hand, her arm shook. Her teeth chattered as she tried to say her name. “Wynterrr.” “It’s warm in my SUV. Please tell me where you’re going. I’ll get you there.” He pried her fingers from the box, helped her over to the vehicle, and opened the passenger door. Warm air rushed out of the SUV, caressing her face. Please don’t let him be a serial killer. Slowly, she reached behind her and patted her waistband. Shit. Why didn’t I bring my weapon? Getting in a car with a stranger wasn’t smart. But the warmth emanating from the vehicle was inviting.  Death by serial killer or freeze. She crawled into the SUV and huddled in front of the heater vents.

Margaritas, Mayhem & Murder
by
Mary Cunningham

Andi Anna Jones, so-so travel agent and amateur sleuth, puts aside her resentment of her father's widow and books a sixtieth birthday cruise to Cancun for Ruby and three friends. Never does Andi imagine the cruise will include the murder of a has-been lounge singer—or that Ruby might be the main suspect.
Flirting with more than danger after arriving in Mexico, Andi connects with charming local sheriff, Manual Gonzales. An embarrassing night involving the sheriff, too many margaritas, and a Mariachi band, can't quell her determination to clear the name of her ex-stepmother.
While gathering clues and interviewing witnesses, however, she suspects dear old step-mom isn't the only one in jeopardy.

What others are saying
“Cunningham’s wacky characters will have you snorting your drink and wishing you could be protagonist Andi Anna Jones’s best friend…or at least a fly on the wall!”

Way back when I first began to write, Felice was the first book I published, knowing that it would be a series about sisters. I'd planned for there to be three. I like three. It's one of my favorite numbers. I also like circles. They are my favorite shape. Ask my husband what kind of door I dream of, and without hesitation, he'll tell you a round one like Bilbo Baggins. Sorry, squirrel! 
So much has happened to me since that time I first pushed the "Publish Now" button. I'm a hybrid author who is both traditionally and independently published. Contemporary books have embedded themselves into my genres. But I always return to fantasy. 
Over the years, I realized how little I knew about writing and publishing. Every time you learn more. About the craft. About publishing. About yourself. Earlier this year, I pulled Felice from the listings and had her re-edited and recovered in anticipation of launching Kisa into the world. 
I also learned that the three sisters have a long-lost relative. I learned that there were dragons in the Darrian world. I learned not to kill someone off in the first book and then try to bring them back in the second.
So, Kisa's been a long time coming. I hope you fall in love with the middle daughter of King Dar, who wants to take care of everyone. Who finds herself trying to balance her needs against the world's. Who often resents being the caretaker but also is compelled to do her duty. Something I think many of us struggle with.

Kisa, Shield-Mates of Dar Book 2
by
D. V. Stone
​
In a war between humans and shifters, sparks, and fur fly…Until scales appear.
 
Princess Kisa, the middle daughter in the shifter nation of Dar, is often overlooked and underestimated. Always the devoted caregiver of family and country, she’s come to terms with her future as a Shield-Mate in a political marriage. Many, including Kisa, are surprised when her father names her as heir to his throne.
Kalman, once a privileged son of the former protectorate Sorota, is an outcast and a man without a future. The people of Ruinae consider him a weak, self-indulgent man. Only his trusted servant knows the heart of the soldier beneath the veneer.
Forces are gathering against the two countries, and now dragons, long banished to the outland, have returned. Kisa and Kalman are charged by King Dar to find out how entrenched the dragons are with the enemy. Since a long-ago meeting, Kalman never forgot the spitfire Lynx-shifter. He’s no longer the boy she’d met, but a man. One determined to have her despite their differences. But Kisa can’t fall in love with the enemy. Can she? Would her people accept not only the son of Sorota but one whom her family also seeks retribution?

Well, our camper is parked for a while. The last trip was to Lancaster Pa. Hali caught up with her BFF Star. She met Star last year, and the two fell in love. There was one more trip planned but with the price of fuel it just wasn't going to happen. Now the days are getting cooler, and the nights longer, we'll hunker down until January when Lord willing and the river don't rise we'll head back to Florida. We're thankful the camp where Pete works wasn't affected by the hurricane. So many were, and it's going to be a long time for them to heal. Thanksgiving is next up, and I hope you have much to be thankful for. It's those hard times when we may find it difficult to be thankful, but I think Audrey Hepburn said it well
It made me resilient and terribly appreciative for everything good that came afterward. I felt enormous respect for food, freedom, for good health and family — for human life. ~Audrey Hepburn (1929–1993)
The hard times I've lived through, and trust me, there were many, truly have made me appreciate what I have now. 

​I also received a release date for Sophia's Magic Beans. April 4, 2023. If you enjoyed Rainbow Sprinkles, you'll love this one. It takes place in the same place, Lake Unami.  
Calliope Novak’s candy store made it through the shutdowns, but she still struggles with everyday costs. She juggles chores, work, and making time for Sophia—her six-year-old. Personal life? Non-existent.
Luke O’Brian confronts his boss and mentor after discovering his law firm’s involvement with a crooked politician and is reminded of the non-disclosure agreement he’d signed. He can’t break it without evidence—evidence that he can’t access after he’s escorted out of the building by security. Devastated, he reluctantly returns to his hometown to regroup.
Lake Unami in Northern New Jersey is a magical place. Rainbows and unexplained coincidences seem more normal than not. Guardian angels, bookstore owners, and an endearing cast of characters all come together to bring happiness and love to Calliope, Sophia, and Luke.
I'm also looking for Advanced Readers for this novella as well.

Thou that hast giv'n so much to me,
Give one thing more, a gratefull heart...
Not thankfull, when it pleaseth me;
As if thy blessings had spare days:
But such a heart, whose pulse may be
            Thy praise.

Six years later, Anora comes home to make peace, but an unseen evil manifests itself during the homecoming and targets not only Anora, but her little girl Cammie.
With nowhere to run, Anora must confront the evil now trying to destroy her life. She vows to protect her daughter at all costs, but if that protection can only be found with Winston back in her life, how will Anora protect her heart?

Inspiration for the Story
Haunted Serenade was inspired by the Duke Ellington classic, Solitude. Two lines in particular inspired my plot, “In my solitude you haunt me” and “With gloom everywhere I sit and I stare I know that I’ll soon go mad.” The image of a woman grieving a lost love put me in mind of how and why love is lost or thwarted or longed for. This lead me to the question each of the stories in my Haunted Harlem series seeks to answer, “What is a ghost except a longing that will not die or a love waiting to be born? I set Haunted Serenade in the early sixties, a time of full of events steeped in turmoil and hope for African-Americans here in the US and Africans abroad. Against this external backdrop, I wanted to tell a story of how the ghosts of the past for one family interfere with their opportunity of reunion in the present and the possibility of hope presented by the future. The issue of colorism and the role it played and still plays in the African-American community provided the seed for the internal conflict that enables the supernatural element in my story to thrive. When my heroine Anora Madison and my hero Winston Emerson confront this issue, the secret haunting Anora and her family is revealed, confronted and exorcised thus enabling, Anora, Winston and the Madison family to achieve the HEA they all deserve.  

D. V.'s review
I love a ghost story. That said, this book is haunting and not because of the ghost.
Though based in the past, it’s certainly a book for these troubled times. It reminds me of a verse from Ecclesiastes, There’s nothing new under the sun.
It’s the early 1960s—a time of great upheaval in U.S. history. Mirror images of today’s civil strife against hate and racism are as appalling. And it’s at this time we’re plunged into a family torn apart by the issues of color and unforgiveness.
After a bombing, which took the lives of three children in the south, the main character, Anora, despite the family schism, takes her six-year-old daughter to see her grandmother for the first time. When Anora began a relationship with a dark-skinned man, both she and her mother shared horrid words, and the hurt to both goes deep and long. Anora left home.
Realizing time is short, and so much is at stake, Anora’s mother calls her home to the family house in Harlem. The bitterness between the people in the house feeds a spirit who has the ability to harm them.
The characters are relatable, the world-building grounding, and the ghost story enthralling. It is a poignant tale of the importance of choosing words carefully and seeking forgiveness before it’s too late. Some scenes can be disturbing though not graphic more the idea of what people are capable of—both to the good and the evil.
I highly recommend this book by Ms. Taylor.
