ould you leave everything behind to know who you are?
Sara Beth Riley never dreamt she’d walk straight out of her life. Actually she’d never dreamt a lot of things that had happened this year … From being kidnapped by her own best friend, to throwing her wedding rings into the Hudson River, to calling an old love in France, to getting inked with said best friend, painting the passionate constellation of these choices into permanence. But mostly, she could never have dreamt what started it all. How could it be that her mother’s unexpected death, and the grief which lingered painfully long, turned her into the woman she was finally meant to become?
Sara Beth’s escape begins a summer of change – of herself, of marriage, of the lives of those around her. In a story that moves from Manhattan to the sea to a quaint New England town, WHOLE LATTE LIFE looks at friends we never forget, at decisions we linger with, at our attempts to live the lives we love.

INALIST, INDIE EXCELLENCE AWARDS
Miranda Glivven’s husband left home months ago on a secret assignment for the Governor and has not returned. Even his letters have stopped. With no news and no idea what has happened to him, Miranda goes on a search for her missing husband, accompanied only by a stray cat. On reaching her husband’s last known location, she finds the local authorities uninterested in helping to find him. Worse, some of the local citizens suspect Miranda of using magic, a treasonous offense, because of the unusual cat that has followed her on her quest. Although Miranda has always believed that magic is superstitious nonsense, she finds the circumstances of her beloved husband’s disappearance growing more and more mysterious….
Taylor’s. . .engaging tale combines mystery and fantasy elements. In a well-built fantasy world with a distinctly Victorian flavor, a woman’s husband mysteriously disappears. . .she sets out in search of him. . .having more than her share of adventures along the way. –Roland Green, Booklist
Taylor sets this low-key fantasy in a world where magic is officially denied despite hints of its continued existence. The presence of a protagonist who possesses no special skills except for her common sense and uncommon determination provides a refreshing departure from standard fantasy heroes. –Library Journal.
The fast pace, good characterization, and hint of the outcome keep readers rapidly turning the pages. A great choice for a quick read or an introduction to fantasy. –School Library Journal
A lighthouse keeper’s wife decides to look for her missing husband. Her search takes her to a distant city where she’s seen as a country bumpkin, but her sincere (and somewhat naive) determination carries her though dead ends and suspiciously unhelpful bureaucrats. Her only comfort from home is a stray cat that insists on accompanying her. But the title really refers to a different cat’s paw: Miranda is being used as a pawn in a dangerous game of intrigue, murder, and rumors of magic, which she regards as strictly superstition–at least at first. –Carolyn Cushman, Locus

Rating: 4.5 – {40 Reviews}
Price may change without notice! Due to international copyrights, not all titles will be free outside the United States.
*************************
man who can’t die must learn the secret of death from the woman he loves when she is reborn in the mortal world.
Three reasons to love Realms Unreel, in readers’ own words:
==> ONE: It’s the perfect escape.
“Beautifully crafted and well-plotted. This is a polished, clean-cut, imaginative, and exciting work.”
“Auden’s descriptions of the worlds she creates are so vivid and mesmerizing, and the characters so enigmatic and full.”
“The perfect escape from this reality — a universe unto itself.”
==> TWO: It’s a page-turner.
“I found myself completely sucked in as the plot transitioned seamlessly from character background to futuristic world-building to action. The story is absolutely gripping, with well-balanced exposition and intriguing characters.”
“While reading it, I got chills more than once, and my heart raced all the way through the final chapter.”
“Just finished after reading pretty much non-stop for a day. It was wonderful. So excited for the sequel!”
==> THREE: It’s a genre-bender.
“I am not typically a reader of science fiction, but this book hooked me from the start. Allusions to the global Occupy movement, the Anonymous hacker collective, and fundamentalist religion are interwoven with themes mined from a global history of literature and mythology. The book is a thoughtful and entertaining contemplation of the promise of religion and technology as tools for realizing the potential of humanity (for good and bad).”
“I’d especially recommend this to anyone who doesn’t always enjoy fantasy, because it combines so many different subjects into one work, including science and technology, adventure, and mystery. Couldn’t speak more highly of this book.”
“We could use more books like Snow Crash and more authors developing the cyberpunk sci-fi crossed with fantasy crossed with ancient religions genre. And I say that with only the slightest hint of irony.”
