<br />
I'm so excited that My Book Ratings or <a href="https://mybookratings.com/" target="_blank">MBR</a> is finally online. MBR is a new free community website with a permanent
database for <b>content-rated books</b>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>Now we need help to content-rate books!</b></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
With how
society values have changed in the past years, it’s vital that books are also
rated to protect families. Too many books targeted for younger readers contain graphic sex, extensive swearing, crude language, and other content not appropriate for youth. As a mother of seven, this concerns me greatly.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
However, there are MANY
great books available, if only we can find and share them. That’s where content-rated
books come in. But there are millions of books, and while single or group efforts to rate books are commendable, I believe that only as a whole community can rating books be accomplished on a large enough scale to make a difference.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>I hope you are willing to help create this important community resource for parents,
teachers, teens, and children. If every person who reads this submitted only
one or two content-rated books to the site, that would already make a difference! And if we all submitted ratings for every book we read from today forward, a miracle would begin
to happen. I believe in miracles!</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The site is
https://mybookratings.com/ and they are moving over the thousands of books from the database of their sister site, <a href="https://mybookcave.com/" target="_blank">My Book Cave </a>(a site for content-rated ebook deals). MBR has taken over six months to develop and is still
undergoing fine-tuning.<o:p></o:p></div>

<li>Go to <a href="https://mybookratings.com/">https://mybookratings.com/</a>
and rate the books you’ve read. Rate as many as possible so the database grows.
No book will be listed on the site until it has been rated at least once. You
can also rate other books already on the site. Rating a book is an easy,
multiple choice form.</li>
<li>Tell family, friends (teens also), and others (including authors you know) to post

<li>Distribute the flyer to schools and libraries. (Librarians
read a lot of books!)</li>
<li> Talk to your children’s teachers and your book club groups to
spread the news.</li>
<li>If you post about books online, download the associated
MBR (MyBookRating) rating icon and post that as well with a link to the site

Content-rating books is easy</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The MBR site is beautiful and easy to submit content-rated books. You just need the book title, author name, and your rating. Soon authors will be able to claim their books and link them to their author profiles, too, which is cool, but not the point of the site.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I hope you will join this effort. If you loved a book read, share the content-rating with others so they can choose to read it. If you hated a book because of its content, do the same!</div>

Yes, I'm rather conservative in my reading. I dislike books that have so many swear words that I feel like I'm in the middle of a juvenile swearing competition. To me, swearing is a lazy, telling way to show me how a character feels, and I much prefer more creative methods.<br />
<br />
And sexual intimacy? Don't even get me started. I love romance, kissing, and sexual tension, but I'm not into details. They bore me utterly, slowing the plot until I skip ahead. (Yes, I write romance, but it's plot-based, not sex-based.)<br />
<br />
Violence I don't mind so much unless it's very graphic or involves child sacrifice (which I can't tolerate at all).<br />
<br />
Yet invariably, I run into such content. No warning, just <i>slam!</i><br />
<br />
Of course everyone is different and has different preferences, which is perfectly fine with me, but there should be a way to have some inkling of what's in the book before I buy.<br />
<h3>
<br />Movies are rated, so why not books? If I'm going to fork out my hard-earned money, I deserve to have some idea of what I'm in for, right?</h3>
<br />
Well, a year ago some other authors, programmers, and I decided to do something about it: the creation of <a href="https://mybookcave.com/" target="_blank">My Book Cave</a>. If you are interested in finding great books that meet your expectations, I hope you'll jump in and support this site!<br />
<h3>
<br />My Book Cave Rates Books for Content</h3>
At <b><a href="https://mybookcave.com/" target="_blank">My Book Cave</a>,</b> subscribers sign up to hear about free and discounted books that match their content ratings. So if you don't mind violence but don't want swearing or sex? You can choose that. Don't mind kissing, but don't want to see intimate sexual details? Then that's what you choose. No more guessing!<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>Advantages of Subscribing</b></h3>
<b>1.</b> Use of the site is always going to be free for subscribers.<br />
<br />
<b>2.</b> Books are free or steeply discounted, so you can try out new authors without a lot of expense.<br />
<br />
<b>3.</b> Our editors look carefully at every book before approving the deal to make sure it's a quality product with decent grammar and formatting.<br />
<br />
<b>4.</b> Every book is also content rated with movie-like ratings that tell you exactly what is in the book and why it's rated that way.<br />
<br />
<b>5. </b>Just for subscribing, you'll get three bestselling, content-rated ebooks for free that aren't discounted anywhere else (the books will change on January first, so if you don't see ones you want now, you can wait for then).<br />
<br />
So far this has been a labor of love, lol, but hopefully someday we'll be able to pay staff to help out by charging authors a small sum to promote their books. (We have thousands of subscribers and some authors are already reporting significant downloads—<a href="https://mybookcave.com/authorsandpublishers/" target="_blank">authors can submit their deals here.</a>) We are also are working on a sister site (My Book Ratings) that will provide a free permanent listing for all the content-rated books. Readers, authors, and publishers will be able to submit their books and the content ratings for each. I think it's going to be a fabulous resource for readers.<br />
<br />
Please pass this on to the readers and authors you know by using the share buttons below. We readers have the right to know the content rating of a books before we spend money on them and the more support we have, the more books we can get rated!<br />
<br />
I welcome any comments. Do you like the idea of content-rated books?<br />

Don't like swearing? Are you sick of books that end up in the bedroom? Or maybe you are tired of getting sweet romances when you wanted heat. My Book Cave makes a dent in ending the guessing game. It's a wonderful idea, and I hope you'll support their efforts!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">Before anyone ever sets foot in a courtroom, much research
has been done in the form of pre-trial discovery. Discovery is responsible for
the bulk of time—and many expenses—involved with a lawsuit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As the plaintiff in a case involving the
copyright infringement of one of my novels, I’ve had close-up look at how it all
works. I’ve posted about </span><a href="http://rachelannnunes.blogspot.com/2015/02/discovery-initial-disclosures.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">initial disclosures</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> and </span><a href="http://rachelannnunes.blogspot.com/2015/06/interrogatories-another-important-step.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">interrogatories,</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> so today I’ll
address another part of the discovery process: admissions of fact and requests
for production.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<h4 class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
Admissions of Facts<o:p></o:p></span></h4>
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">Admissions of facts is when each party lists facts which the
other party must admit or deny. Generally, these are facts the requesting party
is confident they can prove, but occassional for an unprepared attorney it’s a fishing expedition. Wording
of these admissions is important. If you have any objection about the wording,
or can admit/deny only in part, talk to your attorney so he can help you
respond. You want to be very honest in your answers, but at the same time, you
don’t want the opposing party to be able to infer something from your statement
that is not true.</span><br />
<br />
<h3>
If you have nothing to hide, admissions of facts should not
be difficult.</h3>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">Properly responding to admissions prevents wasted time in court. Admissions
are often sent with interrogatories, and they are notarized and treated as
being answered under oath. Needless to say, if a respondent denies an
admission, which in fact is true and it is later proven to be true, the
admission will stand as evidence of their dishonesty. Again, honesty and
disclosure are the best policy if you have nothing to hide. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<h4 class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
Reproduction of Documents<o:p></o:p></span></h4>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">The most tedious part of discovery after the initial
disclosures is the reproduction of documents. If you have done a thorough job
in the initial disclosures, however, many of the documents requested will have
already been shared with the opposing party. This includes screenshots, social
media posts, bank statements, affidavits, video, emails, and so forth.
Reproductions often correspond to the interrogatories and admissions, asking
for the documents to back up the statements. It can be very tedious, time-consuming,
and costly to gather these documents. If you feel the opposing party has
requested something that has no bearing on the case, or if you have any other
objection, again you should discuss with your attorney. As with other parts of
discovery, fully reproducing relevant documents in important and should be done
honestly and thoroughly.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<br />
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
If the opposing party does not respond or concede with any
discovery requests (interrogatories, admissions, or reproductions) you can
petition the court to compel more information.</h3>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<h4>
<span style="font-size: large;">Copyright Infringement</span></h4>
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">In my case we are past the initial disclosures, interrogatories,
admissions, and reproductions, but there is still a lot of work to be done in
these areas. I am grateful for my talented attorney, Shawn P. Bailey, who has
done excellent work on the case. </span><a href="http://www.gofundme.com/StandingAgainstPlagiarism" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">Click here</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> to read more and to donate to help

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">Next time we’ll talk about subpoenas and depositions and their
role in discovery and copyright lawsuits.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The last
time I posted about discovery in connection with copyright infringement of one
of my novels, I noted how important the </span><a href="http://rachelannnunes.blogspot.com/2015/02/discovery-initial-disclosures.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">initial disclosures</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> are. But
those are only one part of discovery. Another important part is called
the interrogatories—a list of questions that each side sends to the other. The
number of interrogatories are limited by law, and the amount of response time
is generally thirty days, unless other aspects of discovery (such as requests
for production) are included in the request.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br /></div>
<h3 class="MsoNormal">
Basically, interrogatories are a written interrogation, and the answers are made under
oath and notarized, meaning that it’s important for the plaintiff or defendant

On a rainy Parisian evening, memories plague Ariana de Cotte. Memories of her beloved twin brother, her estranged parents, and the loneliness and anger that consume her. She is nineteen, it’s her wedding night, and her life seems beyond hope or repair.<br />
<br />
Thus begins the story of an extraordinary young woman who, as her life spirals downward, struggles to find meaning and hope in the face of unimaginable suffering. Her bitter refusal to listen to the LDS missionaries only increases her pain, as does blaming God who has allowed her so much heartache. Until one dark night, when her life hits rock-bottom and the Spirit begins its whisperings to her heart.<br />
<br />
As you come to know Ariana, you will weep for her tragedy, smile at her small triumphs, rejoice as she embraces a faith that will sustain her, and feel the love of a good man who helps her find the power to change her life forever. Rachel Ann Nunes has created a powerful and moving novel with characters so real that you will let them into your heart and find yourself re-living this exceptional story again and again.<br />

<br />
When You’re Hiding For Your Life, What Do You Live For?<br />
<br />
Abbi has the gift of dreams. But her uncanny ability to see glimpses of the future has no apparent purpose or meaning until a dream leads her to a man on the brink of despair and destruction.<br />
<br />
Cameron is a man without a name and without a country, framed for a crime he didn’t commit. Long ago forced into exile and believed dead, the passing of years have defaced him of all hope.<br />
<br />
The country of Horstberg suffers beneath the weight of tyranny, and only Cameron holds the secret that could see her ruler undone and restore the people to peace and prosperity. While revolution brews and whispers of treason threaten all that is dear to Abbi, she remains unaware of her own ability to answer a nation’s prayers.<br />
<br />
Trusting only her heart and the power of her dreams, Abbi gives all that she has to lead Cameron back into a civilized world, where love is real and freedom comes only in facing what hides behind the mask.<br />

Charlene believes she’s an ordinary housewife and mother with ordinary challenges. Gradually, she comes to realize her marriage isn't healthy and that her husband’s treatment isn't normal. Relying only on her own courage and the help of a few friends, she struggles to free herself and her children from a relationship that has turned their lives into a living nightmare.<br />
<br />
Charlene soon discovers that altering her relationship is only half the battle and finding what she really needs takes just as much courage as recognizing the problem in the first place. Trusting again—and making love work—may be the biggest challenge of all.<br />

When Samara Oldroyd takes a break from her somewhat insane family to browse a music store, she meets the funniest, most attractive and awesome guy ever. A phone call interrupts their conversation, and she has to leave before she can find out anything about him—what his name is, where he's from, and why his smile is so familiar.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Her wishes that they'll run into each other again come true, but not how she expects. When Samara’s older sister finally lets the family meet her new boyfriend, Samara is shocked to see it's the guy from the music store!</div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Awkward and hilarious situations are plentiful as Samara tries—in vain—to undo the crush she's formed. Inspired by the film <i>Dan in Real Life</i>, this novella will tickle you pink.<br />

Adam Crenshaw is tired of living in his little sister’s shadow. She wins everything, and he gets the leftovers. Big brothers are supposed to be the role models, right?<br />
<br />
Then one day, all that changes. Louie is a leprechaun who offers him all the luck he could possibly want—for a price. The offer is tempting, but Adam refuses to work with him. To teach him a lesson, Louie steals all of<br />
<br />
his luck, and Adam’s life is turned upside down. He now has a choice between giving in to the leprechaun’s demands, or losing everything that matters to him.<br />

<h3>
Sweat Hard, Feel the Burn, Win the Race Indie Writing and Publishing Conference brings to you the first in a series of interviews with expert presenters who will help you cross that finish line. Today we're chatting with bestselling USA author Rachael Anderson.</h3>
<h3>
</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.indieauthorhub.com/p/2015-indie-author-hub-writing_11.html" target="_blank">Sign up here to attend the conference.</a></h3>
<br />
<big><big><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Q: What is
your profession and how are you connected to the writing.<o:p></o:p></span></span></big></big><br />
<big><big>
</big></big><big><big><span style="font-family: Calibri;">A: I'm a mom
first and a writer second. I write happy, hopefully-uplifting, fun romances—three
of which I had published traditionally and seven I've indie published.<o:p></o:p></span></big></big><br />
<br />
<big><big>
</big></big><big><big><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Q: How did
you get started?<o:p></o:p></span></span></big></big><br />
<big><big>
</big></big><big><big><span style="font-family: Calibri;">A: I attended a writer's conference that opened my eyes to indie publishing, then I
read, asked questions, and learned as much as I could. It's a steep learning
curve, and I would have loved to attend an indie conference when I first began,
but sadly, there weren't any. Thank goodness that's not the case anymore. I
love that so many people are willing to take time out of their busy lives to
share what they've learned with others. <o:p></o:p></span></big></big><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<big><big><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;"></span></span></big></big><br />
<big><big><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Q: What
subject will you be teaching at the Indie Author Hub Writing and Publishing
Conference?<o:p></o:p></span></span></big></big></div>
<big><big>
</big></big><big><big><span style="font-family: Calibri;">A: How to
turn your word document into an ebook and how to typeset a book for paperback
using Word. It's stuff that took me many painful hours to learn, so hopefully I
can simplify the learning curve for others.<o:p></o:p></span></big></big><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<big><big><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></big></big></div>
<big><big><span style="color: #6aa84f;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Q: What is
your expertise for this subject?<o:p></o:p></span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">A: Been
there, done that. Over and over and over again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Q: Why is this
important for indie authors to know?<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">A: (1) It
gives you control, (2) You don't have to wait on someone else's timeline to get
your books formatted, (3) Saves you money.</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Calibri;">Q: What is
your top writing-related goal for 2015?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">A: I don't
have a lot of time for writing, and I try my best to always put my family
first, so my goal is to publish two novels a year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Q: How will
attending the conference help you to reach that goal? And/or why do you feel
it’s beneficial for indie writers to attend conferences.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">A: Every
conference I've attended has been such a blessing to my writing life. I've met people who have become wonderful friends and supporters, learned so many
important and useful things (things that are so much easier to learn at a
conference), and always come away feeling motivated and excited. But I think
the most important thing I've learned from other writers is that this isn't a
competition, and if we work together great things can happen.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: #38761d;">Q: What is
something many people don’t know about you?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">A: I'm
terrified of heights. My husband talked me into going parasailing with him
once, and while he was enjoying the view, I was praying (with my eyes clamped
shut) that we'd survive. I still have nightmares about it. That was a been
there, done that, NEVER again thing for me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Q: What best
advice do you have for beginning indie authors?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
</big></big><big><big><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">A: Learn all
that you can, connect with other authors, and don't give up!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span> </div>
</big></big><br />
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
We hope to see you all at the <a href="http://www.indieauthorhub.com/p/2015-indie-author-hub-writing_11.html" target="_blank">IAH Writing and Publishing Conference</a> in June!</h3>

Set against the background of the exploration of the Aztec civilization, TIDES ACROSS THE SEA, opens in the year 1519, where the passion for adventure and the lust for gold reign in the hearts of both young and old. Fifteen-year-old Felipe is no exception, though his yearning for adventure is tempered by his love for the beautiful Manuela. She wants to marry him, but when Felipe ends up on Cortés’ ship bound for the New World, the young couple is pulled apart. Felipe and Manuela each must find a way to overcome the odds stacked against them if they want to someday reunite.<br />

<strong>When You’re Hiding For Your Life, What Do You Live For?</strong><br />
<br />
<br />
Abbi has the gift of dreams. But her uncanny ability to see glimpses of the future has no apparent purpose or meaning until a dream leads her to a man on the brink of despair and destruction. Cameron is a man without a name and without a country, framed for a crime he didn’t commit. Long ago forced into exile and believed dead, the passing of years have defaced him of all hope. The country of Horstberg suffers beneath the weight of tyranny, and only Cameron holds the secret that could see her ruler undone and restore the people to peace and prosperity. While revolution brews and whispers of treason threaten all that is dear to Abbi, she remains unaware of her own ability to answer a nation’s prayers. Trusting only her heart and the power of her dreams, Abbi gives all that she has to lead Cameron back into a civilized world, where love is real and freedom comes only in facing what hides behind the mask.<br />

<strong>When Honor Means More Than Anything To A Man, Can He Sacrifice His Honor For Love?</strong><br />
<br />
Captain Lance Dukerk has no doubt that the only woman he ever loved married the right man—even though that man wasn’t him. Yet he longs to have that kind of love in his life and is growing weary of being known as the most eligible bachelor in Horstberg’s military force. When poverty-stricken Nadine Rader arrives at Castle Horstberg, insisting that her young daughter is the legitimate child of the duke, it becomes increasingly evident that the deceased ruler Nikolaus du Woernig left a torrent of disillusionment and heartache in his wake. Inexplicably drawn to Nadine, Lance takes personal charge of seeing that her needs are met as she attempts to piece her life back together. Their mutual attraction quickly merges into something profound, until Nadine discovers that Lance’s connections to Nikolaus go far deeper than she’d ever imagined, and her budding trust in Lance shatters. Nadine’s life becomes more troubling as women who fit her description are brutally murdered, and neither she nor Lance are prepared to face startling evidence that widens the chasm of mistrust between them. While Nadine fights to stay alive, Lance relentlessly tracks the monster responsible for these horrendous crimes, hoping he’ll be in time to protect the one woman he knows he can never live without.<br />

<strong>Can Love Survive Friday the 13th?</strong><br />
<br />
Friday the 13th has always been unlucky for history professor Camille Britain, and this one doesn't seem any different. In an effort to escape her failed marriage, Camille is renting a cabin in beautiful Island Park, Idaho, where she meets wildlife photographer Jackson Armstrong, who scoffs at her superstitious ways and infuriates her with his offers of help. Camille doesn't need another man—not even one as compelling and attractive as Jackson. Especially when he seems hung up on another woman. And yet Camille can’t deny the passion between them or the way Jackson makes her feel. This Friday the 13th upsets both their worlds by forcing Camille and Jackson to see things about themselves, their families, and each other that might—with a little help—change them forever. Maybe this time superstition is on their side. The Superstitious Romance is a story about a strong woman who feels weak, a man who doubts himself, and a powerful love that changes everything.<br />

<strong>Sometimes you have to run for your life</strong><br />
<br />
At Lincoln High, Nathan Stewart is practically invisible. The only time he is noticed is when his fellow students need someone to torment. Not only do they call him nerd, bookworm, or “Birdlegs,” but they also threaten him with physical violence. The problem has become so serious that two of his main goals in life are to hide his skinny body from his classmates and to escape the constant persecution of the bullies, especially muscle-bound Kit Morrison.<br />
<br />
As one of the outcasts at Fremont, Nathan has little hope that the girl of his dreams, Kathy Young, will ever notice him. So he resigns himself to adoring her in secret. The only person who really knows how Nathan feels is his friend in misery, a classmate named Benny Berger, who is hounded and teased for being fat and clumsy. But Nathan has one remarkable ability that has the potential to change everything and win the admiration of that very special girl.<br />

<strong>Death, Life, or Love—Unbounded Always Play for Keeps</strong><br />
<br />
There are only two ways to kill Unbounded, and fire isn’t one of them—as law school dropout Erin Radkey learns the hard way. By fluke of a recessive gene, she has become Unbounded, a nearly immortal being with paranormal abilities. Erin’s Change separates her from her loved ones and alters everything she believes to be true. A week earlier she was considering a marriage proposal; now she contemplates the best way to stay alive. Caught in a battle between two Unbounded groups, the Emporium and the Renegades, she is also hunted by a secret mortal society sworn to eradicate the Unbounded gene. Some will stop at nothing to use Erin as one more pawn in a battle that has spanned centuries. Erin’s undeniable attraction to Ritter Langton, whose family was massacred by opposing Unbounded two hundred and forty years ago, complicates her choices. There are no second chances. Death, life, or love—Unbounded always play for keeps.<br />

<strong>A Compelling Story of Heartbreaking Loss, Inspiring Faith, and a Newfound Love Strong Enough to Heal All Wounds.</strong><br />
<br />
Bill Dubrey is a sought-after plastic surgeon for LA’s prestigious and wealthy, and an equally sought-after bachelor. On the surface it appears he has it all—money, respect, and fame. Yet behind his aloof exterior lurks a tragic past that prevents him from finding lasting happiness. All that changes on the day Kylee Stewart reenters his life. She alone knows Bill’s secret agony, and she is determined to help him face his past. During the years they’ve been apart, Kylee’s own life has been far from easy, but unlike Bill, she has turned to God in her need, finding a faith to which she desperately clings. The tentative friendship they begin has Bill rethinking his stark future, yet he keeps his heart in check—afraid to commit, afraid to lose again. During Kylee’s darkest moment, when she needs him most, will he be there for her?<br />

Midian has lived in Gevkan Castle for almost all of her twenty-five years, growing up alongside Princess Arien. Though timid, she's content in her life and comfortable with the people who surround her. It's not until she meets Kelson, best friend of Prince Dmitri, that she realizes how deep her shyness runs. Kelson is outgoing and wildly flirtatious, pushing Midian away when all he wants is to draw her closer. Midian's life is put in danger when she's kidnapped by the neighboring king who thinks she's the princess and wants to leverage her life for power and money. Will Kelson be able to stop the king fast enough, proving his affections for Midian, or will the king's scheming keep them forever separated?<br />

Sarah Williams is a young Welsh immigrant, coming to Utah to join her sister Mary Ann Perkins and her young family. When the Perkins' are asked to join the San Juan mission to pioneer a trail through Southern Utah, they take Sarah along to help care for the children. But a six-week journey turns into six agonizing months of hard work and toil as the Saints blast their way through a cliff to bring their wagons through what would become the famous Utah landmark "Hole in the Rock." This LDS historical fiction novel is based on the life of the author's great-great-grandfather and accurately depicts the experiences of these intrepid pioneers as they sought to be obedient to a higher call.</div>

Cynical Morgan has just about decided that no one could possibly fall in love with her - all the good guys want perfect girls, and she's anything but perfect. But then along comes the guy who falls head-over-heels in love with her just as she is and helps her find the bright side of life again. This is book two of the Main Street Merchants series – book one, And Something Blue, is already just .99 all the time.</div>

There are several different discovery methods or tools:<strong> initial disclosures, written discovery</strong> (eocument requests, interrogatories, requests for admissions), <strong>subpoenas</strong> (orders that compel non-parties to provide information or documents), and <strong>depositions</strong> (recorded, transcribed interviews of witnesses).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The very first step in discovery is the exchange of initial disclosures. Through initial disclosures, the parties are required to provide information they may use to support their cases at trial. This includes things like lists of witnesses and documents. The parties are required to supplement their initial disclosures as the case goes on. So if a new witness shows up, or if new documents are uncovered, those have to be disclosed.</span><br />
<br />
<h3>
And the stakes are high: if a party fails to disclose evidence, she may not be able to use that evidence at trial.</h3>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We are in the process of putting together our initial disclosures in my copyright infringement case against Tiffanie Rushton, and we should receive Rushton’s initial disclosures soon. This first round of discovery should give everyone involved a good sense of what evidence the parties currently have in their hands before any deeper investigation takes place.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Okay, so I’ve just scratched the surface. This process is so arcane and time-consuming! Hours of work on both sides.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong></strong></span><br />Rachel Ann Nuneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04534550343454806255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343015530444012222.post-70260637181320224432015-02-11T18:02:00.000-07:002015-05-06T18:10:54.131-06:00Attorney Shawn P. Bailey Takes Over Copyright Infringement Case<span style="font-family: Calibri;">As I contemplated the difficulty of raising $100,000 plus
to my case against Tiffanie Rushton all the way to trial, I began considering
representing myself and consulting with an attorney on the side to see the case
through. After all, I couldn’t even pay off what I still owed the first attorney.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I thought, this is America, right? Don’t I have the right to
tell a judge and jury of my peers what Rushton did, to make sure she stops without mortgaging my
family’s future? With no other option in front of me, despite numerous attempts
to find some other way, I decided that I would have to do exactly that:
represent myself.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">People warned me not to. They said that Rushton’s attorney
would use his knowledge of the law against me. “But I have proof,” I said. “It
doesn’t matter,” they insisted.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I spent over a hundred hours researching discovery and
litigation because there was no other way. I’d tried raising money, I’d tried fundraiser
box sets, and some people were very generous, but it was nowhere near enough. But
the more I learned about litigation, the more I realized I didn’t know. (Yes,
100 more hours stolen away.)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Then in January, a fellow author and civil litigator <a href="http://peckhadfield.com/attorneys/shawn-p-bailey/" target="_blank">Shawn P. Bailey</a> came
forward after reading an interview with me on <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">A Motley Vision</i> and offered his help. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And now . . . I’m excited to announce that Shawn P. Bailey and
his firm are representing me and are committed to seeing my case
all the way through to trial. Even with Shawn’s generosity and flexibility in structuring an attorney-client relationship that will not bankrupt my family, litigation is expensive, and we need to keep fundraising. Every dollar counts!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I want to give a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who has made a
contribution (some of you have more than once). You are making an incredible
difference in the case. I couldn’t have come this far without you, and I am so
grateful. I am especially grateful to Dave Farland, who has been a friend and supporter from the beginning. And also his fans, who have extended their support to me. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<h3>
This IS going to happen. We will send the message through this case.
Writers and readers unite!</h3>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">
If you need an
attorney, please think of Shawn and his firm Peck Hadfield Baxter & Moore, LLC. Meanwhile, we do still need to

It's hard to explain and I'll bet many people won't understand it, unless it happened to them, but it had been an emotional challenge getting back to work. That is saying a lot for a writer who has published fifty books in eighteen years.<br />
<br />
However, I finally finished a novella (under my pen name) that I'd nearly completed before this happened and I also have begun editing the other one I was supposed to have finished four months ago. The word count total is tiny compared to my 6-month usual output, but the stories are solid and my readers are loving them. I hoped I have overcome enough of the anxiety to continue from here. Yes, I know my website is sadly outdated, but I'm still hanging on by fingernails here. Once I overcame the anxiety enough to write (even this little bit), it has very much helped my state of mind.<br />
<br />
The first is book is <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00R6CWC6K/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00R6CWC6K&linkCode=as2&tag=rachelcom-20&linkId=Z2AIR3ZPE3COQCET" target="_blank"><em>Ava's Revenge</em></a> <em>(An Unbounded Novella),</em> and the second is<em> Mortal Brother (An Unbounded Novella).</em> Ava's story is already available in book and print. Chris's story <em>(Mortal Brother)</em> is in the publishing process now and will hopefully be available by the end of the month. I can't wait for my readers to learn more about some of the other characters in my Unbounded series.<br />
<br />
Thank you for your support and love! I have really needed them these past six month.<br />
<br />

<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
"At the time, for some strange reason there were no copies we could locate and Sam took this man’s word. In the meantime, we had no idea you renamed, recovered and digitalized your original work. Perhaps this is the reason it was not discovered. Who knows?"</h3>
<br />
Well, out of print doesn't mean up for grabs, though apparently that is the implication. But the investigators discovered that this timeline reveals a lot more about the case. For details and screenshots of each August event click <a href="http://rachelannnunes.blogspot.com/2014/11/how-i-learned-my-novel-had-been.html">here.</a><br />

<h3>
Timeline of Events in Nunes vs Rushton Plagiarism Case</h3>
<br />
<h3>
May</h3>
Tiffanie Rushton and three aliases, Jennifer Greer, Haxxxx <strong>(name redacted as well as others in this article--you'll know why when you reach Sept. 12th)</strong>, Emma K <strong>(last name redacted),</strong> post one-star reviews on my novel <em>Love to the Highest Bidder / A Bid for Love.</em> Both versions of the novel were hit for a total of five reviews. (Screenshot below.)<br />
<br />
<h3>
May 8</h3>
I posts to my writers group about a vicious review posted by Simple Book Reviews (owned by Rushton) on Amazon that appeared on or around the previous day.<br />
<br />
<h3>
June 21</h3>
Reviewers begin posting reviews of <em>The Auction Deal, </em>the plagiarized version of the novel.<br />
<br />
<h3>
July 6-12</h3>
<em>The Auction Deal</em> is published on Amazon.<br />
<br />
<h3>
August 1</h3>
Emails alerting me to the fact that my book had been plagiarized and that STM (AKA Tiffanie Rushton) claims I<strong> collaborated</strong> on <em>The Auction Deal</em> with her.<br />
<br />
<h3>
August 3-4</h3>
After waiting several days to see if “Sam” contacts me, I email her asking for a review copy. I also posts on Sam's blog asking about it.<br />
<br />
From the reports I hear of her actions, I suspect that STM (AKA Tiffanie Rushton) is going to vanish and republish my book under another name, so I email eight reviewers and ask them for a copy of the book or if they will compare my book with STM's for themselves.<br />
<br />
STM (AKA Tiffanie Rushton) emails to say she isn’t going to publish the book but has no idea how the books are so similar. I responds by asking again for a copy and say that if Rushton hasn’t plagiarized there shouldn’t be any problem with her going ahead with her release so please send a copy.<br />
<br />
A cached screenshot that proves <em>The Auction Deal</em> was already for sale on Amazon, though Rushton had since unpublished it. Also, Goodreads buy button shows it was for sale at one time.<br />
<br />
Six reviewers respond to me: one said that he’d compared the books and there was definitely a copyright problem, one said she deleted her review, two said that they’d look into it, and two Rushton aliases, Jennifer Greer and Mercedes Booklover D <strong>(last name redacted),</strong> berate me for asking. Mercedes threatens to picket bookstores against my books and report me for harassment to my former publisher, run by her aunt (which turned out not to be true). <strong>Jennifer tells me that STM would have been doing me a favor to rewrite my terrible book.</strong> One of the real reviewers says the book tour was canceled.<br />
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
August 5-7</h3>
One new reviewer contacts me. She and two of the reviewers who previously responded say that the book was definitely stolen.<br />
<br />
Rushton’s aliases begin to harass and malign me publicly on Facebook and privately though email, including negative comments on Thirty Second Reviews blog. <strong>(Last name redacted)</strong><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<h3>
August 5</h3>
Tiffanie Rushton emails me as a "friend" of STM, claiming that STM did start with her book because a now-dead friend gave her the manuscript.<br />
<br />
<h3>
August 6</h3>
Tiffanie Rushton uses her STM alias to sends out emails to reviewers claiming to be my niece, that I gave her permission to use the book, and that Rushton came up with the idea for the story but can’t admit to it because she added sex and her family would be displeased and she'd be kicked out of church and maybe lose her husband.<br />
<br />
Amazon: negative reviews of my books appear on Tiffanie Rushton/Simple Book Reviews (which later becomes briefly Jennifer Greer). <br />
<br />
<h3>
August 7</h3>
I publish my blog outlining basic facts and asking for help from the community to discover who STM is.<br />
<br />
Ten more negative reviews of my books appear on Amazon by Avid Reader. Rushton alias Mercedes D <strong>(name last redacted)</strong> also reviewed under this name.<br />
<br />
<h3>
August 8</h3>
Tiffanie Rushton responds as STM to my August 4 email, saying she isn’t publishing the book and to stop harassing reviewers. Since every reviewer has been polite (except those suspected to be STM aliases), it is obvious this isn’t going to be resolved peacefully or reasonably.<br />
<br />
I begin initial consult with an attorney.<br />
<br />
A reviewer sends me a copy of <em>The Auction Deal.</em> Comparison proves the book had been stolen.<br />
<br />
<h3>
August 9</h3>
Go Fund Me account created at urging of David Farland.<br />
<br />
<h3>
August 12</h3>
Someone comes forward and I learn that Tiffanie Rushton is the real name for Sam Taylor Mullens. I am afraid to turn on my computer for fear of what will happen next.<br />
<br />
<h3>
August 13-25</h3>
Investigators verify that STM is Tiffanie Rushton and her aliases Jennifer Booklover, Jennifer Booklover Greer, Mercedes D <strong>(last name redacted)</strong>, Abby F <strong>(last name redacted),</strong> Lucy Evans (new author Rushton created <strong>after</strong> the plagiarism came to light, revealing her every intention of continuing her career path). <br />
<br />
Using the alias Gibson C <strong>(last name redacted)</strong> Rushton harasses a blogger Crystal for offering Rachel a copy of the book (though she was not the one who actually ended up giving it to Rachel).<br />
<br />
"Jennifer Booklover" harasses me publicly and privately and takes responsibility for negative Amazon reviews. Her account is temporarily suspended by Facebook. The picture on the account was traced to an non-connected Instagram account. Later that same day, she manages to reactivate the Facebook account under "Jennifer Greer," and posts again, but Amazon unpublishes it again and marks the messages as spam.<br />
<br />
Rushton alias Aubrey P <strong>(last name redacted)</strong> also takes responsibility for the negative Amazon reviews (August 14).<br />
<br />
Jennifer Booklover, Jennifer Greer, and Abby F <strong>(last name redacted)</strong> publicly post negative comments on the Go Fund Me account, saying it’s a scam (total of four posts August 14-16).<br />
<br />
It is discovered that the prologue to Rushton's first novel, Hasty Resolutions was taken from an article written by combat veteran Chase Weston wrote about his real life experiences. Attempts to contact him begin.<br />
<br />
<h3>
August 26</h3>
Complaint is filed: <a href="http://johndopp.com/Documents/Rushton/Nunes_v_Rushton_Complaint_20140829_redacted.pdf" target="_blank">Nunes v. Rushton.</a><br />
<br />
<h3>
September 2</h3>
Complaint is served.<br />
<br />
<h3>
September 8</h3>
Abby F <strong>(last name edacted)</strong> makes more harassing comments on Goodreads and on my blog.<br />
<br />
<h3>
September 11-12</h3>
It is confirmed that Rushton's prologue from Hasty Resolution was plagiarized from Chase Weston's article. His wife writes an <a href="http://rachelannnunes.blogspot.com/2014/09/open-letter-to-tiffanie-rushton.html" target="_blank">open letter</a> to Tiffanie Rushton detailing the damage Rushton has done to them.<br />
<br />
Parents of Rushton’s last year students discover their<a href="http://rachelannnunes.blogspot.com/2014/09/new-developments-in-sam-taylor-mullens.html" target="_blank"> children’s names and school-issued email</a> addresses were used as Rushton’s aliases. It is verified that at least twelve children’s names or variations were used. <strong>(That's right. All those names redacted above are full names of actual children except Mercedes who had only the last name used, presumably because the corresponding first name was used in Rushton's actual pen name.)</strong> Parents apparently decide not to go public with the news, but they follow through with the school district and the police department. Rushton is suspended from teaching.<br />
<br />
<h3>
September 21-22</h3>
Rushton poses as a parent of the children whose identities she stole to harass me and try to get blog posts removed (comments on my blog and at least two others). Parents verify that they did not post comments. <a href="http://johndopp.com/plagiarism-sam-taylor-mullens-busted/" target="_blank">One blogger confirms</a> that comments came from Rushton's computer.<br />
<br />
<h3>
September 27</h3>
Rushton <a href="http://johndopp.com/Documents/Rushton/Nunes_v_Rushton_ResponseToComplaint_20141013.pdf" target="_blank">responds</a> to the complaint, saying that she denies the claims due to the fact that she doesn't have enough information to prove or deny them.<br />
<br />
<h3>
October 8</h3>
Another hateful comment appears on the Go Fund Me (still working to confirm identity).<br />
<br />
<h3>
October 13</h3>
Parents of children tell me that Davis County school officials sent letters stating that Tiffanie Rushton is no longer teaching because of knee surgery.<strong> KNEE SURGERY. No mention of stealing children's names and email addresses or of plagiarism. </strong><br />
<br />
<h3>
October 24</h3>
My attorney tells me it will likely cost another $30,000, even if they do a summary judgment and 100,000 to go to a jury trial. That much to get someone not to plagiarize and harass me. So a total of $120,000 to ask for a judgment of $150,000 that will likely never be paid. I feel like I've entered the Twilight Zone. We have a legal system that victimizes the victim yet again, and where only the rich can seek justice.<br />
<br />
Due to pending litigation, this post will not be further updated.<br />

Or Do You Even Have One?<span style="font-family: Calibri;">When word that my novel, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">A
Bid for Love,</i> had been plagiarized blasted across the Internet, several
people asked me where my original publisher was in all this. Or did I even have
a publisher? And if so, why weren’t they involved? And if I wasn’t with a publisher
anymore, where did I stand on indie vs traditional publishing?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We’ll get to the indie vs trad in an upcoming post, but as for
the original publisher of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">A Bid for Love,</i>
it went out of print and the rights reverted to me. I sold it to another
publisher and they eventually closed doors and returned the rights. This time,
I opted to indie publish.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“But if you had a publisher,” some have said, “you wouldn’t
have to fight this plagiarism battle alone.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Nonsense. Even if I hadn’t received the rights back to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">A Bid for Love,</i> given the size of the
publisher, they’d be lucky to be making a few thousand dollars a year on the
book. Do you really think they’d spent the big money I have paid so far to stop copyright infringement? Do you think they care that I've been bullied, harassed, and defamed?
Maybe, but they wouldn’t go to court over it. I believe no publisher would go to court for an author unless that book was making enough money to make it worth their bottom line. Of course, since they employ attorneys, it might be far less expensive for them to sue. It wouldn’t take a lifetime of savings like it would an indie author. But still, most times publishers aren't going to do it, not even to stop harassment, and who can blame them? (There are also no writers organizations I could find that have something in place for plagiarism cases.) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“So what does the original publisher of the novel think
about all this?” people ask next. “What have they said?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Well, nothing. At least they haven't said a single word to me about
it. Neither has the publisher I currently still have over a dozen books with,
though both publishers produce and market books primarily in the same state
where the person who stole my book lives. Where I live. (Update: The original publisher of the book has since been very helpful in handing over documents needed for the case. I am grateful.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Because this happened here in Utah—in their backyard—people thought
publishers might be concerned about their own products. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But I’m sure they’re busy and more
pressing issues in mind than an author they used to publish. At any rate, since they don’t have any remaining interest in
the book, I really didn’t expect to hear anything, so don’t misconstrue this as a
complaint. I had no expectations at all.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">But one of my former publishers, Cedar Fort did
contact me and ask what they could do. They also contributed to the legal fund.
I was very grateful for their kindness, and it really made a difference to know
they had noticed what was going on and cared, especially when they had no
connection with the plagiarized book.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I am so far from this being over that it makes me really sad and anxious pretty much <a href="http://rachelannnunes.blogspot.com/2014/10/plagiarism-is-personal.html" target="_blank">all of the time</a>. I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to create stories, but, sadly, even the joy of writing has been stolen from me.</span><br />

Sometimes Surviving Isn't Enough . . .<br />
<br />
Years of living on the street and fending for herself have made Makay Greyson tough and resourceful, if a bit disillusioned. She's come a long way from sleeping in parks and scavenging for food. Her entire focus is on providing a better life for her young brother, one without fear of loss and neglect.<br />
<br />
That certainly doesn't leave time for Harrison Matthews, who from their first meeting sends fire through her veins and upsets all her carefully laid plans.<br />
<br />
Makay has done things she isn't proud of to survive, and those choices now threaten the small amount of security she's created-and any chance of a future with Harrison. They've been raised in two very different worlds, and the secrets they both hide can only lead to disaster. There is only one chance to make it right, and one misstep could be fatal.<br />
<br />
Your Eyes Don't Lie is a story about facing fears, sacrificing for those you love, and about a girl who thinks she isn't worth loving and a guy who knows she is.<br />

<br />
Nicole Williams is an Arete—a fourth child with magical abilities—yet no matter how hard she tries, she can’t Channel her power. In fact, she seems to be the only student at Katon University who fails at magic.<br />
<br />
That doesn’t stop magic from finding her. It starts with magical currents and possessed books before moving quickly to cursed spiders and freaky shadows. Nicole turns to her best friend for help, along with fellow student Austin Young, who is considered by all a magical rarity. He also happens to be the hottest guy on campus and just might be interested in her.<br />
<br />
Nicole soon finds herself competing to be included on a university-led expedition to Arches National Park. She is determined to show everyone, but mostly herself, that she does belong. Yet, to qualify for the trip, she must produce at least a speck of Wind magic, and that appears to be impossible.<br />
<br />
As the competition progresses, Nicole wonders if she’s making the right choice—especially when she learns that the strange fossils they’ll be studying in Arches might not be as dead as everyone thinks.<br />

<br />
After years of pinching pennies and struggling to get through art school, Emma Makie’s hard work finally pays off with the offer of a dream job. But when tragedy strikes, she has no choice but to make a cross-country move to Colorado Springs to take temporary custody of her two nieces. She has no money, no job prospects, and no idea how to be a mother to two little girls, but she isn’t about to let that stop her. Nor is she about to accept the help of Kevin Grantham, her handsome neighbor, who seems to think she’s incapable of doing anything on her own.<br />
<br />
Prejudice Meets Pride is the story of a guy who thinks he has it all figured out and a girl who isn't afraid to show him that he doesn't. It’s about learning what it means to trust, figuring out how to give and to take, and realizing that not everyone gets to pick the person they fall in love with. Sometimes, love picks them.<br />

<br />
Thinking he's been treated unjustly by his father, James Owen leaves the family homestead to make a new life for himself.<br />
<br />
The turbulent world of post-Civil War Colorado Territory is fraught with danger and prejudice that increase his bitter loneliness as personal setbacks threaten to break him. Then James's journey brings him into contact with another wayfarer, beautiful young Amparo Garcés, who has come from Santa Fe to Colorado to marry a stranger. Through a twist of fate, their futures are changed forever when their lives are merged in a marriage of convenience. James and Amparo undertake a hazardous horseback trek over Raton Pass to Santa Fe, battling their personal demons, a challenging language barrier, and winter's raging storms.<br />
<br />
"Ride to Raton is a pure western, complete with bad guys and broken hearts and even a dog. The sequel to The Man from Shenandoah features James Owen, the younger brother. Marsha Ward writes a fantastic romance against a vivid southwestern backdrop. James begins this book as a hurt young man, but by the end of the book, I really could see him grow up and become a man. Made tougher by circumstances he has no control over, James realizes that the love he thought he had lost was nothing compared to what Amparo shows him. Amparo is a young Hispanic lady, forced to leave her home in Santa Fe to marry a stranger in Colorado. She bravely faces her uncertain future, relying on her faith to get her through. She is sweet, loving and she provides a great contrast to James's rough exterior. With an ending that surprised even me, Ride to Raton is not your usual romance. However, I do recommend it for western lovers—even the cover is wonderful! Marsha Ward once again shows us her gift for old fashioned storytelling!" ~Jen Hill, Roundtable Reviews<br />

Charlotte’s a girl with nicknames. She may not love being called Charles or Chuck, but the hardest nickname to take is the one she was given in college, the one that’s followed her now for too many years. They call her “the husband maker” and sadly, it fits. Every guy she's dated since high school has gone on to marry the next girl they date. Not two or three girls down the road. The very next one.<br />
<br />
Is she doing something wrong or is she just cursed?<br />
<br />
When Kyle Aldsworth enters the picture and sweeps her off her feet, Charlotte begins to hope that maybe she's not destined to be single forever. A senator’s son with political aspirations of his own, Kyle's wealthy, handsome, and in need of a wife. Will Charlotte be disappointed yet again, or will she finally be able to make a husband for herself?<br />

Josie loves hottie Ethan Lancaster, the captain of the basketball team, but she never can do or say the right thing in front of him. So how can it be fair that Ethan is only interested in her best friend, Cami, when Cami isn’t even trying for his affection? Or is she?<br />
<br />
Cami dreams of winning her basketball team’s coveted MVP award, and earning the chance to take the court during a special halftime demonstration with WNBA star Rebecca Lobo, but her best friend, Josie, is a better player. So how can it be fair that Josie is a shoo-in for the honor if she is barely interested in basketball in the first place and isn’t even trying to be the best? Or is she?<br />
<br />
Told from two points of view, this novel of freshman life, love, and the pursuit of free throws displays the same delightful humor as Janette Rallison's other comedies.<br />

<i><b>A Portrait for Toni</b></i> by Amazon bestselling author <b>Annette Lyon </b><br />
Toni has no idea what she’d do without her best friend, Carter. Who else would she be able to vent to about her parents, her job at the dance studio, or her latest relationship woes? That is, until he starts questioning Toni, saying he thinks she has an eating disorder. Then she starts dating Clint, and somehow that puts a deeper wedge between her and Carter. When she’s hospitalized after an on-stage collapse, and Carter stupidly starts in with advice about food and weight, she sends him away. One night after a performance, Toni tries to mend the hurt between them. Instead of finding Carter, she stumbles onto proof that he has feelings for her that go way beyond those of a friend. Toni is left with the very real prospect of losing Carter forever, unless somehow she can return his feelings—but that’s impossible. Isn’t it?<br />

Thrust into the chaos of her mother-in-law’s hoarding and forgetfulness, LDS church member Alyssa Johnston wishes she could retreat to a simpler time when her kids were small and almost anything could be fixed with a hug. But reassurance and a quick distraction no longer erase the pain of a missionary son who is struggling, a young teen who is bullied, or a daughter who is distant. As Aly’s own life and relationship with her husband plunge out of control, she wonders if her faith will be enough to keep her family—or herself—from falling apart.<br />
<br />
Still Time is a deeply moving story about a woman’s faithful journey into the next phase of her life. You will laugh with Aly, feel her sorrow, and see yourself in Maria Hoagland’s realistic, heartfelt portrayal of a woman’s struggle to keep her family safe and hold back time as long as she can.<br />

No Second Chances. Death, Life, or Love—Unbounded Always Play for Keeps.<br />
<br />
There are only two ways to kill Unbounded, and fire isn’t one of them—as law school dropout Erin Radkey learns the hard way. By fluke of a recessive gene, she has become Unbounded, a nearly immortal being with paranormal abilities.<br />
<br />
Erin’s Change separates her from her loved ones and alters everything she believes to be true. A week earlier she was considering a marriage proposal; now she contemplates the best way to stay alive. Caught in a battle between two Unbounded groups, she is also hunted by a secret mortal society sworn to eradicate the Unbounded gene.<br />
<br />
As Erin plunges into this dangerous new life, she must carve out her own place in the madness, protect her mortal family, and decide which group she should join. Her unique ability is vital to both groups in the race to secure an identification software that spells death for all Unbounded—or enslavement for the entire mortal world. Some will stop at nothing to use Erin as one more pawn in a battle that has spanned centuries. Erin’s undeniable attraction to Ritter Langton, whose family was massacred by opposing Unbounded two hundred and forty years ago, complicates her choices. There are no second chances. Death, life, or love—Unbounded always play for keeps.<br />
<br />
Non-stop action, terrifying consequences, and powerful romance make this an exciting addition to the world of romantic urban fantasy.<br />

Parents who have contacted me are extremely shocked and upset to find their children's name on websites that have blogged about the case. Several parents claim that some of the children's<b> </b>email addresses<b> </b>were also used to create the accounts (I have no way of verifying this, though). I was utterly stunned by the news. The estimate we have is that a dozen real names or variations were used. <br />
<br />
My heart goes out to these parents and their children. The parents have asked that their names not be used or their emails posted, so of course I will respect that. As a group, they have so far chosen not to talk about the event, whether on their own or after encouragement from the school district it is unclear. At least one parent told my attorney that they didn't want to upset Rushton's life further. I admit that this makes me feel very alone because my life is completely upset, but I respect that they must have thought this over and are choosing what they think is best for their children. Fortunately, they have the help of authorities, unlike with my civil case where I have to go it all alone, so if action is taken, it won't cost their financial future as it is mine.<br />
<br />
I have sent the screenshots of the accounts to the authorities and the parents who've requested them, including the posts that admit to writing the bad reviews on my books and posting negative statements about me on Facebook. They have followed up with the school district and at least one filed a complaint with the police department. This is completely separate from my case, which is in a civil court.<br />
<br />
Again, this is a sobering development. I really don't know what will happen at the school district level, but my condolences go out to the parents.<br />
<br />

While it has been extremely difficult and time-consuming and violating for me, I think it must be far worse for Chase, who lived through the very personal experience he shared. To have his real-life experienced used without his permission is heartbreaking. This is exactly why I began this battle—to stop this from happening to others. Plagiarism isn't a victimless crime. Below is Lilah's letter (posted with her permission) to Sam Taylor Mullens:</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>This is an open letter to Tiffanie Rushton, aka Sam Taylor Mullens: Author of<i> Hasty Resolution</i>.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My name is Lilah Weston; I am the wife of Spc. Chase Weston, US ARMY-Retired.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I want to start by stating that this letter is in regards to the obvious theft and plagiarism of other authors’ original work that Tiffanie Rushton/ Sam Taylor Mullens took and published and sold as her own. I apologize if my sentences run on, or if I miss any punctuation as this is an original draft that nobody else had previously written for my convenience to copy, play around with and put my name on—and this is just coming out of my brain as I type.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Here’s a little background to catch any other readers up . . . <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
September 9th,<sup> </sup>2014 My husband received an email of a John Doppler Blog showing a side by side comparison of <i>Terror in a Cloud of Dust </i>by Chase Weston, and the opening pages of <i>Hasty Resolution</i> by Sam Taylor Mullens (which is a pen name for Tiffanie Rushton) It was absolutely mind blowing; other than the omissions of the profanity my husband originally wrote they were nearly identical. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We read the blog and googled like crazy to find out all the information we could get online and found out that Tiffanie Rushton has also been suspected of doing this to another author Rachel Ann Nunes. I looked for side by side comparisons of her story that was copied and it was again the same manipulation of an original piece published years prior. (I encourage everyone to see for themselves <a href="http://johndopp.com/tiffanie-rushton-plagiarism-not-isolated-incident/" target="_blank">www.johndopp.com</a><span class="MsoHyperlink">.</span>)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My husband is amazing as he has been through hell and back, and is a wonderful husband and father. Chase served in Iraq in 2005 with the 3<sup>rd</sup> Infantry Division. Chase was a Gunner on a Humvee for his companies First Sergeant. His average day included 1-3 IED attacks and small arms fire. In 2005 Chase woke up from a normal days patrol in Germany after his Humvee ran over an IED, and he was immediately medically retired from the military due to injuries.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The story that Sam Taylor Mullens/ Tiffanie Rushton copied was an account of one of the worst days of Chase’s life. The original draft of <i>Terror in a Cloud of Dust</i> was written by Chase during a trauma workshop at “Pathway Home” which in a residential rehabilitation program for returning Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans who suffer from clinically diagnosed and progressive PTSD. It took a lot for Chase to put his story down on paper, he did however want to heal from the events and felt that he might help some of the other Soldiers who were trying to do the same. It has always been hard for him to share this story, and to have it shared with everyone on the Internet has always upset him a little in the first place, but to have someone take it and use it and claim it to be their own has him just disgusted.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My husband feels this to be a personal attack on his character, his service, and to the Military—every soldier and family member affected by these events. Sam Taylor Mullens has no idea what her actions have done to him, my husband has not slept well since he found out. Veterans are very tough people to treat, so much trauma at such a young age changes any person; my husband who was in some of the more deadly areas in Iraq and has lost many of his friends. My husband is very strong, he has a great heart, but nothing takes away the sadness and regret of combat. I understand the full extent of his emotional scars, as I hear him dialogue the past in his sleep. My husband was medically retired and honorably discharged with quite the impressive unit, company and personal record of service. The third infantry has had soldiers like Audie Murphy the most decorated WWII hero, and Ike the former president of the United States. Chase has so much pride in what he did, right or wrong in public opinion; he was there for the man next to him. Taking something this personal is just the same as taking the KIA bracelet off his wrist to remember his best friend who didn’t make it home. Mind you I have been with my husband for almost 6 years and have never seen that bracelet come off.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Although I have not read <i>Hasty Resolution</i> I did read all the reviews. Once we realized that it was of an erotic genre we became even more upset. I’m not trying to bash on authors or readers of these kinds of books, but that is not anything that Chase would have ever allowed his writing to be used in, as he is the proud father of 3 young kids and someday down the road when our descendants use the Internet to learn about us this will come up, because the Internet is FOREVER and this is not what he would like to be remembered as a part of. My husband got help for himself and worked so hard to get better, years of therapy, ups and downs, and that writing of his was something he was actually proud of, and now he feels that is something cheap and ruined. Ruined by a complete stranger with no consideration for the soldiers who were there that day.</div>

</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">We were also blown away that Tiffanie Rushton is an elementary school teacher, as kids are very impressionable and tend to admire their teachers at that age. I wonder how the parents of her students are handling the news that she has committed these acts. Teachers are supposed to set a standard, and have integrity, and be honest and stand against plagiarism as it is a big deal. I truly hope that the administrators of that district have something to say about this.</span></div>

In closing I hope that you get this letter Mrs. Rushton, and I hope you feel shame for what you have done, I hope you apologize to everyone you stole from, and I hope that you realize you did this to yourself—this is nobody’s fault but your own. And I hope that Rachel Ann Nunes gets her day in court. You have not only stolen Chase and Rachel’s stories but you have stolen time from them that they could have spent with their family, you have triggered my husband’s PTSD, which will take him some time to come back from.</div>

<span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">You have done wrong, you have hurt people, you have disrespected the Military that fights to protect you and your family, I really hope you find it in yourself to be honest and hold yourself accountable.</span></div>

I know many of you have been waiting to hear, so I want to let you know that my attorneys filed the complaint (case #2:14-cv-00627-EJF) in federal court last Friday, and today the papers were served.

But there have been really good things happening every day as well, and I would be remiss if I didn’t thank the angels who have acted in my life:<br />
<br />
Thanks to my husband, who manned things on the home front while I was working with attorneys or investigators—especially for taking care of our two-year-old daughter, who had dental procedures a week ago and who has been very needy. Yes, he washes dishes. I know this wasn’t the way he thought we’d begin his first weeks going part time at work so we could attempt a new business, but he rolled with the punches. And he has been so very kind and understanding about my rollercoaster emotions. He also checked the registered copyrights on all my books, and filed for any that have been revised, which gave me peace of mind.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
I'm grateful to the authors at Indie Author Hub, who were supportive from the very beginning. It’s great to have people who know me so well and who are willing to go the extra mile. Thanks for the flowers and the emails. I don’t know what I would do without you! Some authors have gone above and beyond with their support, but for now they will remain nameless to protect them from harassment. You know who you are.<br />
<br />
Thanks to bloggers Meghen and Crystal, who each had the courage to publically follow her conscience. They suffered online attacks because of it, but their integrity remains apparent to all. Also to the anonymous people who had the courage to report the infringement to me in the first place. That took courage, even anonymously.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Also To David Farland, who gave me added determination and a way to follow through on what I know I have to do. I will never forget your help.<br />
<br />
To the investigators on this case—you have gone far above the call of duty and have held my hand every time I’ve needed it. You remain anonymous for now, but I can’t wait to write a novel about all of you because someone has got to tell this story. No one will believe all the details, but that’s okay, we know the truth about how it all unfolded.<br />
<br />
I'm thankful that the children in the nursery today at church don't know what the word plagiarism means. It was nice to play trains and picnic and pop bubbles.<br />
<br />
I’m also thankful for the many, many, many tips I received from people who had information that the investigators put to good use. None of you had to come forward, but you took the time, and some of it became very important.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
To the authors I know personally, and the many more authors that I don’t know, both indie and trad published, who have come forward to offer support. I know I represent all of us, especially the indie authors who don't have publishers to fight these kinds of battles, and I won’t let you down. I’m glad that honesty and integrity is for the most part recognized by everyone honestly involved in the writing world, no matter our race, our gender, our genre, or where we live. Thank you for being outraged on my behalf at the idea of someone not only stealing my story but also my expression of that story.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Thanks to my readers who have sent their love my way and have encouraged me to continue writing. Without you, I really might be tempted to let myself linger in hunker-down, protection mode. But for you, I will get to that next book, I promise!<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Thanks to the strangers who are not readers, friends, or acquaintances, who heard about the story and offered support. You helped a person in need, and even if you never read one of my books (or like them), I am indebted. It’s the human connection that makes the difference.<br />
<br />
Thanks to my sister Deborah, whose sympathy and support has made me love her even more.<br />
<br />
Thanks to Andrea, who has called me almost every day and jumped in to help wherever she was needed.<br />
<br />
I’m grateful for my neighbor Shelli, who came running to my house when I called in a panic, and who pinpointed what I needed and lingered long enough to make sure I was okay. She also made sure my children had cheese for their sandwiches. Thanks, Shelli, and I promise to remember to eat. :-)<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<br />
I’m grateful that of all the comments I’ve read online, there was only one that was unkind that couldn’t be linked directly to STM. I hope the day will come when I can proudly own any new one-star reviews again, and not worry they’re the beginning of another attack, but that may take time.<br />
<br />
Last, but not least, thanks to everyone who has contributed to the Go Fund Me account, or who plan to participate in another way to help with legal expenses. <br />
<br />
This list is not comprehensive. I know I’ve probably forgotten someone (or left them out on purpose for their anonymity), but my heart is full of gratitude, and that pushes out a lot of the hurt and fear. What an amazing community of authors, readers, friends, and kind strangers who are helping each other as we hurtle through this experience we call life. You are making a difference to me during this difficult time, and I wanted you to know.<br />
<br />
THANK YOU!</div>

This is part one of a series of blogs I am writing about publishing book contracts (and the LDS market in particular). Interesting information and some really important things I wish I had known before signing a contract. Now the required disclaimer (that publishers love to remind us to include to avoid their lawsuits): Keep in mind I am not an attorney, so this is not legal advice. This is only what I have learned after eighteen years of contract-signing and publishing 45 books.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Today’s post comes from Teyla Rachel Branton’s blog post entitled Authors—Take Back Your Book Rights Before It’s Too Late. (Reprinted with permission.) See the <a href="http://teylarachelbranton.com/authors-take-back-your-book-rights-before-its-too-late/" target="_blank">original post here</a>.<o:p></o:p></h3>
<br />
Did you sign away your rights without really understanding what you were doing? Well, a little-known copyright law allows authors to eventually get back their rights. So authors who had the misfortune to sign a contract with an unscrupulous or small publisher, who did not include a return of rights, have some recourse besides paying big bucks to get back what should been returned to them as a matter of course. Authors can retake the rights to their books thirty-five years after their book was published. This is for all authors who signed contracts since 1978, but authors who were published in 1978 to 1988 need to act NOW because there are time constraints and stipulations.<br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>How It Works</strong><br />
Authors have a five-year window to exercise the right but must provide notice to the publisher at least two years in advance but no more than 10 years before their eligibility date. Authors who published in 1978 are eligible to reclaim their rights in 2013, but they have only five years to act, so the window of opportunity is closing. So please pass this along to any authors.<br />
You can find the actual copyright law text in section 203 <a data-mce-href="http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap2.html#203" href="http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap2.html#203">here.</a> (Look at (3) for particulars about the times.)<br />
<br />
Some of you have a few more years to wait, but you can plan now to get back those rights. I plan to submit to my publisher ten years before and offer them a deal if they give me back the rights earlier, so maybe something good will come out of this for me and my family. I know better know and I will NEVER, EVER sign another contract with a publisher if they do not return rights at some point.<br />
<br />
<strong>Meanwhile, here’s a little non-legal advice from someone who has been in the business a few decades:</strong><br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Don’t ever sign a contract unless it includes a return of rights that states a threshold at which point the book right revert back to you.</li>
<br />
<li>Make sure the rights revert COMPLETELY. Shared rights is NOT acceptable. No other publisher will accept the book with shared rights, and you can't invest any kind of money in a project that you don't have full rights to.</li>
<br />
<li>This is YOUR intellectual property. Unscrupulous (or uneducated) publishers will be happy to keep your rights forever because even if they make only a buck off your product from a random handful of ebook sales, they are making money without additional effort. Without a return of rights, they are not vested in pushing your book over the entire term of the copyright law.</li>
<br />
<li>You and your descendants can make far more on your property than a publisher who is doing nothing with it except listing it in a catalogue. You can revise, resell, etc. and keep profiting—especially in this digital age. You will also have something to pass down to your children as a legacy.</li>
<br />
<li>Check <a data-mce-href="http://pred-ed.com/pebd.ht" href="http://pred-ed.com/pebd.ht" target="_blank">Predators and Editors</a> before you sign with any publisher. If there are any complaints there, it is likely serious enough that several authors have not only complained but sent in their contracts as proof (because the site has to protect itself with proof).</li>
<br />
<li>Be careful of unscrupulous publishers who “pretend” to give you back rights but in other clauses take them away.</li>
</ol>
<strong>Here is an example of a "pretend" return of rights clause:</strong><br />
<em>If after the expiration of three years from the date the work is first put into print, the Work is then out of print, Author may make a written demand to Publisher to republish the Work. Publisher shall have 90 days after receipt of the demand letter to give notice of its intent to comply. Publisher shall be deemed to have complied by publishing in one or more of the formats identified above or by entering into a sublicense agreement with a third party for publication of the Work. If, after Publisher fails to comply for a period of six months, then Author shall have the right to terminate this agreement and all rights shall be returned to the Author. Notwithstanding, the Publisher shall have the right to retain all electronic rights in the Work.</em><br />
<br />
NO! This is a terrible and fake return of rights meant only to fool the author. There is no threshold of sales that must be met and since the publisher also snuck in a print-on-demand clause in the paragraphs above this one and wants to keep erights, they will NEVER consider that book out of print. That author can ask until they keel over from pleading, but that publisher doesn’t have to do anything. Make no mistake: this is an immoral clause.<br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>Here are some good examples:</strong><br />
<strong><em>Example 1:</em></strong><em> If sales fall below 100 copies in any given six-month period, all rights will revert back to an author for that book.</em><br />
<strong><em></em></strong><br />
<strong><em>Example 2:</em></strong><em> In any 12-month period fewer than 250 units of the Work have been sold, or the Work has generated less than $250 in revenues for Author, the Work shall be deemed out of print and author may request back rights.</em><br />
<strong><em></em></strong><br />
<strong><em>Example 3:</em></strong><em> </em>Victoria Strauss lists her Harper Collins contract terms online:<em> If for two consecutive accounting periods neither the Publisher nor a licensee of the Publisher has printed copies of the Work . . . but the Work is available for sale from the Publisher or a licensee of the Publisher by some means of on-demand printing, or electronic transmission or reproduction and within those two accounting periods, the Publisher and its licensees, collectively, have sold less than 250 copies of the Work, the Work shall be deemed out of print.</em><br />
<strong><em></em></strong><br />
<strong><em>Example 4:</em></strong><em> If the Work is not in print, Author may request in writing that Publisher keep the Work in print. Publisher will have six (6) months to comply. If Publisher fails to comply . . . then at the end of such six (6) month period this Agreement shall terminate and all of the rights granted to Publisher shall revert to Author. The existence of an individual print on demand edition or an electronic edition shall not constitute the Work being in print unless there are total combined sales of $500 or more a year for these editions.</em><br />
<br />
So there you have it. Be wise. Think of the future. If you sign away your rights now with no recourse, you will probably be kicking yourself years down the road like the dozens of authors I know, most of whom published with small, local publishers they trusted. The bottom line for publishers is money, and we authors need to think that way too.<br />

Angela Thornberry is facing the greatest challenge of her life. All around her people talk about miracles happening to them and how God acts in their behalf. Even the scriptures are full of angels and miracles. As she and her family teeter on the brink of losing everything, Angela needs one of those angels now more than ever.<br />
<br />
Her faith wavers as everyone around her seems to receive divine help—everyone except her. Doesn't she too, deserve an angel of mercy? Does the Lord have a plan for her or has her lifetime of faith been misplaced? Then something strange begins to happen, and her entire life changes yet again.<br />

Bill Dubrey is a sought-after plastic surgeon for LA’s prestigious and wealthy, and an equally sought-after bachelor. On the surface it appears he has it all—money, respect, and fame. Yet behind his aloof exterior lurks a tragic past that prevents him from finding lasting happiness.<br />
<br />
All that changes on the day Kylee Stewart reenters his life. She alone knows Bill’s secret agony, and she is determined to help him face his past. During the years they’ve been apart, Kylee’s own life has been far from easy, but unlike Bill, she has turned to God in her need, finding a faith to which she desperately clings.<br />
<br />
The tentative friendship they begin has Bill rethinking his stark future, yet he keeps his heart in check—afraid to commit, afraid to lose again. During Kylee’s darkest moment, when she needs him most, will he be there for her?<br />

<br />
Anyone would think that Karissa and Malcolm have the perfect life. Young and successful, they've built their dream home on beautiful Kodiak Island in Alaska. But behind closed doors it's a much different story. Unable to have children and inactive in their religion, Karissa and Malcolm's marriage is beginning to fall apart.<br />
<br />
When Jesse and Brionney Hergarter move to Kodiak, Karissa senses a kindred spirit. With Brionney's friendship and support, Karissa feels a growing desire to return to activity at church. But this means confessing a sin that has haunted her for years—the one sin that could drive Malcolm away forever.<br />
