Witching Moon YA Historical Fantasy
Book Summary:
Every
once in an eon, when the Earth eclipses the moon on a winter solstice, an
immortal is born under a witching moon. Anne has always had the strangest
feelings—memories she couldn’t place; strangers she inexplicably yearned for.
After she rescues the enigmatic Phillip from a shipwreck, her comfortable life
on the island of Cusabo is shattered, and the mystery of her destiny starts to
fall into place. Anne leaves behind the life she’s always known and sets out
with Phillip on an arduous journey to Amaranth, where her ancient family awaits
her. But the path is dark and daunting, and Anne’s powers have only just begun
to manifest.

K. E. Bonner, author of Witching
Moon, was always the first kid to sit down during a spelling bee. It
wasn’t until she was an adult that she was diagnosed with dyslexia, which
explained why she always had to study three times harder than her peers. Being
dyslexic taught her perseverance and kindness, her two favorite attributes. She
lives in Georgia with her husband, two sons, and two dogs. When not writing,
she loves to read, swim, explore new places, and meet fascinating people. If
you have a dog, she would love to scratch behind its ears and tell it what a
good pup it is.

A Wingman for Christmas by Barbara Barth
Book Summary
The
annual Sweet Water, Georgia, Christmas parade is nearing but relationships are
fractured on Wild Rose Lane. Antique dealer Cheryl Calloway's holiday spirit
has tanked. It's been a horrible year with her divorce, her ex marrying younger
and perkier Miriam across the street, and Mama moving into Cheryl's Victorian
cottage with her Amazon parrot right before Thanksgiving. A party girl in her
eighties, Mama smokes up a storm, likes her nightly vodka, has a hankering for
men, and now a wingman named Nigel. If that isn't enough, the Historical
Society wants Cheryl to clean up all the projects on her porch waiting to go to
Spivey's Antique Mall for their Christmas Open House. Her desire to work her
booth is as dead as her marriage. Miriam, President of the Historical Society,
chastises her, "If it ain't pretty don't put it on the porch." Then
there's Alice, her strange neighbor with the six-foot fluorescent light bulb
cross nailed to the huge Magnolia tree in the middle of her rose garden. Alice
watches all the neighbors too closely. Just when Cheryl thinks things can't get
worse, an incident shakes her to the core, and a mystery follows revealing
family secrets long forgotten. Cheryl wants to believe in miracles and love
again, and Dr. James may just be the man of her dreams as he helps her and Mama
sort things out.
Filled
with quirky characters, mystery, family secrets, and sweet love, all set in a
hot Georgia small town.
