A Candle Beneath My Bed: Betrayal
$3.99 – $14.99“On a very old winter night, Jacqueline (Jackie for short), was born to the proud parents of Ruth Green and Matt Jones,” and on this very cold winter night, the story begins.
In a small rural town in Savannah, Georgia lives the Jones family. At first glance, they appear to be a strong, faithful group, despite their almost constant struggle with poverty. It appeared that this family was netted together with love.
About a year after the birth of Jackie something happened that caused Ruth to be afraid to say anything. But, when she decided to talk all her fears became a reality. The love of her life, her fiancé Matt walked out on her. Falling into despair, she begins to wonder if she would be able to find the strength she needed to move forward.
A Candle Beneath My Bed is not merely a thread of a young girl’s earliest memories but it provides a heartwarming story that rekindles our faith in family and sheds new light on the things that matter most.

A Hero’s Life
$3.99 – $12.99The story of a war hero who is faced with a choice between what he believes is moral on the one hand, and his job, his family and the security of his country on the other.
Steve Pritchard was a World War II fighter pilot hero who returned from England in 1945 to his home in Los Angeles. He was a double ace with twelve downed Messerschmitt ME-109’s to his credit. Steve had married his high school sweetheart, the prettiest girl in town, went to work at Western Aircraft Company, the largest aircraft company in Southern California and moved into a new home with swimming pool on the Palos Verdes peninsula. Steve and Ellen quickly had three children and settled down to a comfortable post-war life.
He earned a master’s degree in aeronautical engineering at UCLA night school and became his company’s chief troubleshooter. The company’s design team listened to his suggestions and respected his opinion. All was going well when he was assigned a special mission by the company president to investigate multiple crashes of the company’s new, supersonic fighter jet. It would be a simple task, one that he was sure he could solve in a few days.
But those few days turned into months of futile probing, political infighting, Air Force interference, threats on his life and lack of support from his company’s management as well as from his family. Using his experience in airplane design and applying his flying skills, could he finally identify the cause of the crashes? If he identifies the problem, should he reveal the faulty design and lose his job, his home, and his family, or cover up the problem, get the promotion for which he had been working, and continue to live a comfortable life? A man who had been hailed a hero just a few years before in World War II was now to find out what it really meant to lead a hero’s life.

A Life Not Expected: But A Journey Worth Taking
$3.99 – $12.99Born in her grandparents’ bedroom on October 11, 1925, Violet Grayson says of her writing, “At the age of fourteen, I wrote a poem and a rather dismal short story. I sent the short story to Collier’s magazine, where it was immediately rejected. I redeemed my pride by later winning a school-wide essay contest at Cumberland High School and becoming an at-large reporter for our school paper, The Chronicle. As a senior, I was named literary editor of our yearbook. My English teacher, Mr. Skahan, suggested I switch to the college course since he saw me as scholarship material, but that was too much of a reach in those Great Depression years. After graduating in 1943, I worked in an office, married in 1949, and became a mother in 1950 and then a single parent in 1952. My writing would have to wait until January 1986 when, at the age of sixty, I launched my literary career.”
Violet has had twenty-four personal-experience stories, articles, how-to pieces, and short stories published. She also wrote a column for the Foxboro Reporter in her former home of Foxboro, Massachusetts. In California, since 1993, she contributed to “Two Cents,” an opinion column in the San Francisco Chronicle maintained by a pool of citizens. She is an active member and Secretary of Writers West of Alameda Inc.
This is her fourth book. The first, In the Village Lonsdale, was published in 2006. Her second, A Gossamer Cord, was published in 2011. Her third, Jeremy’s Cottage, was published in 2013.

An Angel is Born: A Family’s Story
$3.99 – $24.95It would be impossible to keep track of all the people that we encounter during the course of a lifetime; however, the few that affect and change us forever could be counted on the fingers of one hand. There are people such as those depicted within this book. There are a lot of people whose stories are told here: their lives, their times, and their fate, but there was one who changed everyone around her without ever trying. An Angel is born spans the course of nearly seven decades, and looks back at a time when things were simpler yet not always better.
If you are nostalgic you’ll reminisce, if you are a parent you will appreciate, if you are spiritual you will be sustained, and if you have a heart you will be forever moved. Their lives, their world, their future lay before them sweet and dying… Angel’s parents sat at her bedside holding her hand and whispering sacred words of encouragement with agonizing thoughts of farewell. Then a voice from the Holy Firmaments of heaven spoke to them saying, ”You are now separated…”
…a story about how generations shaped by the unique demands of Appalachia helped one kid to thrive against all odds.
An Angel Is Born is much more than a story about the life and death of an amazing girl with special needs. Nostalgic, honest, and moving, this is a contemplative history of how every life–and every death–adds its own thread to the tapestry of a family and community.
