The Spellcaster- Prologue This morning started off great until I started

This morning started off great until I started having stomach pains. They don't feel the same as when I went into labor with my son, Rio. I don't feel any pelvic pressure yet. I know I'm close, though. Biscuit, my fox familiar, has been following me around.

The house desperately needs cleaning before the baby arrives. Dust has collected in corners I've overlooked for months. Cleaning and chores have been more difficult during this pregnancy. The baby is constantly moving, especially when I'm...

The Brunette- Prologue This is the first vacation I've taken, and I've

This is the first vacation I've taken, and I've actually left my home area. I usually stay at home, do things around the house, and veg out on the couch. I would prefer to be at home versus going out. I am not a party girl. I never have been, even in high school and college. I guess that is why I have never had many friends. I only have one close friend now.

I have never understood the need to see the world. I am content at home. My mom talked me into taking a vacation away from home. She...

My American Ride- Prologue  As I lay on the floor looking out the window, I

As I lay on the floor looking out the window, I saw the dark gray sky pouring rain. It was the perfect summer storm. Lightning streaked across the sky. I could feel the heat from outside through the screen door. I was sweaty from the humidity in the air. Thunder crashed in the background as he hit me in the face again. I threw my arms over my head, “Please stop.” My heart ached as I screamed in pain, "I want you to love me as much as I love you," and I wept.

Jack laughed in my face, “You are...

Praise

My American Ride drew me in from the first page! Reading every chapter had me feeling all the feels from the characters, I felt like I was there experiencing everything with them! Great job Danielle, super excited to narrate this for you and to read your other books!

– Stephanie Betschart- My American Ride

Definitely kept my attention. Always guessing what was going to happen next. Highly recommend

– Amber Gray- My American Ride

I am always looking for children's books for my son - he is 18 and autistic but mentally four- and books with tons of words - I know all he can hear is "blah, blah, blah".

This book about Detta the little girl and Gobi the cheetah, he loved. Great little story, of friendship, that you should listen to your parents, mummies, treasure, and empathy.

The illustrations were wonderful! I would defintely say it would be a great story for 4-7 year olds! Highly recommend!

– Stephanie White- Detta and Gobi: Adventure in the Jungle
