Surviving Schizophrenia: A Memoirby Louise Gillett

What you are about to read is a true story. I am an apparently normal happily married mother of four, living the humdrum existence of an ordinary housewife. And I have a diagnosis of schizophrenia, something that I have always felt a deep sense of shame and embarrassment about, and kept hidden for many years.

I have agonised for many years over whether to make my story public – I have written this book, re-written it, changed the names, changed them back again, written it again under a pseudonym, tried to change it into a novel… Finally, last year on a writing holiday at the wonderful Arvon Centre in Totleigh Barton, Devon, matters became clear. This is my story, and I am ready to stand by it. It is a true story and any value that it has for others lies in that fact. I have, however, changed the names of a very few people within the text to protect them from any repercussions of my tale.

Why Won’t They Pay Me What I’m Worth?by Rodney Koop

Putting the profit into a service company requires understanding why people won’t pay you what you are worth. Your price is your power and cash is king. In home services like plumbing, electrical, heating and air, pest control, carpet cleaning, roofing, siding or whatever you do can be not only profitable but pleasant for you and your customer. After 20 years struggling and trying to get technicians to sell and up sell in the homes Rodney Koop finally found the solution. Sell them exactly “how” they already buy every day. Amazon, Best Buy, Home Depot, don’t they make it look easy. I’ll show you their secret and on the way show you a business model that actually works every day.

Mists and Moonriseby Various Authors

Welcome to the Mists and Moonrise collection, a new material set of historical romance novellas never before published.

An ancient Cornwall legend tells of king with a pregnant wife, warned by an oracle that the child born would be a woman so beautiful that countries would go to war over her. A princess was born to the king and queen, and when she became of age she was pledged to the son of an enemy. But the princess had fallen in love with a mere knight and together, they ran away to the caves of Cornwall to hide from the princess’ betrothed. However, when it came clear that they would be captured – rather than live their lives apart – the princess and her knight took their own lives.

Now, it’s said their blood stain the caves of St. Agnes’ caves along the coast of Cornwall. Legend says that if two lovers touch the stain together, they will fall madly in love for eternity. But there’s a catch – they must touch of their own free will.

Because of this legend, the caves of St. Agnes have drawn men – and women – seeking to make their mate fall in love with them, including many tales of reluctant brides and grooms.

In these six romantic novellas, read some of the romantic tales associated with this poignant legend.

Lady of the Moon by Kathryn Le Veque – A lady knight is hired by the father of a reluctant groom to take his son to the caves where he will meet his intended and they will touch the stains together. When the lady knight and the reluctant groom fall in love, will the groom honor his father’s wishes or will he follow his own heart?

Laird of Darkness by Eliza Knight – When Lady Rosamond de Warenne is abandoned by her father in a remote cave, she doesn’t believe her fate could get any worse–until she’s kidnapped by a fearsome Highlander. Laird Tierney MacDougall, recently released from an English prison, is bent on revenge, starting with marrying the daughter of his tormentor. A union forged from vengeance is doomed to fail–or is it?

The Highlander’s Untamed Lady by Madeline Martin – With long winters killing crops and food becoming scarce, Laird Evander Mackenzie will do anything to save his people from starving – even kidnap the feisty Diana Stuart at her father’s request.
In a world filled with death and heartbreak, is it fate or legend that will hold them together?

That Knight by the Sea by Catherine Kean – Lady Adaline Mortimer never expected to see Garrett, the rebellious young lord she loved and lost, ever again. Yet, when she’s kidnapped and held captive, the dark secrets of the past return. In the cave of St. Agnes, will she and Garrett win a second chance at true love, or will they perish just like the legendary lovers before them?

The Bravest Of Them All by Laurel O’Donnell – Sir Luke of Brackley rushes to save the sister of his betrothed when she is kidnapped. Always trailing in her older sister’s shadow, Nessa has kept her love of Luke hidden since their childhood. When Nessa discovers Luke is to marry her sister, will she condemn herself to a life of misery or risk her love on a legend?

Pirate In The Mist by Elizabeth Rose – When Brody’s crew turns mutinous, he is thrown overboard but is rescued by a fisherman and his beautiful daughter, Gwendolen. However, once it’s discovered he’s a pirate, everything changes. Can an act of nature and the legend of a cave turn enemies into lovers?

And then you realize it wasn’t fate at all… 

I’ve wanted to care for and protect her since the first moment I saw her. I’ve constructed everything in our lives so that at the perfect moment, I could have her, could give her the life she deserves.
