A Dress the Color of the Moon Book by Jennifer Irwin
Book Title: A Dress the Color of the Moon by Jennifer Irwin
Category: Adult Fiction (18+), 360 pages
Genre: Women's Fiction
Publisher: Glass Spider Publishing
Release date: October 30, 2021
Content Rating: PG-13 +M: Though this book deals with sexual addiction, it does not contained explicit sex scenes and the language is tame. The book's focus is on the protagonist's path toward recovery from an addiction.
Prudence Aldrich is a sex addict. Five weeks ago, she checked into the Serenity Hills rehab center to prevent that addiction from ruining every important relationship in her life. Now Prue must face the trail of destruction she left behind, including mending the broken bond with her teenage son, finalizing the divorce from her husband, Nick, and using a newly learned set of skills to ward off her insatiable cravings for male attention-a compulsion that puts her friendship with lifelong pal Lily to the test.
Adding ever further complications to the hurdles in her path is the arrival into town of Alistair Prescott, her in-rehab romantic obsession, and the one person in the world most capable of throwing Prue off her recovery. Meanwhile, Serenity Hills counselor Mike Sullivan is undergoing a crisis of his own-one that will drive him to the rediscovery of a lifelong passion . . . and causing him to cross paths again with Prue, his former patient.
A Dress the Color of the Moon tracks the rocky and sometimes disastrous path to recovery-a recovery that will require Prudence and her friends to face down the demons of their pasts while learning to accept the fearful uncertainty that comes with living life on your own two feet.
Jennifer Irwin’s debut novel, A Dress the Color of the Sky, was published in 2017 and has received rave reviews, won seven book awards, and was optioned for a feature film. Jennifer’s short stories have appeared in numerous literary publications including California’s Emerging Writers: An Anthology of Fiction. Jennifer is represented by Prentis Literary and currently resides in Los Angeles.

A Spying Eye Book by Michelle Cox
Book Title: A Spying Eye: A Henrietta and Inspector Howard Novel by Michelle Cox
Category: Adult Fiction (18+), 256 pages
Genre: Historical Mystery
Publisher: She Writes Press
Release dates: Oct 25, 2022
Content Rating: R: There are some swear words peppered throughout (not many) and 2 explicit sex scenes (tasteful, but more than a PG-13 scene)
Book Description:
In A Spying Eye, Clive and Henrietta return to Europe in an attempt to resurrect their failed honeymoon. While in London, they are approached by their old friend, Inspector John Hartle, who convinces them to search for the missing panel of the Ghent Altarpiece, a famous Renaissance painting, of which Hitler’s top men are also in pursuit.
Meanwhile, back in Chicago, Oldrich Exley threatens to cut off financial support for the entire Von Harmon brood if Elsie continues with her plan to marry Gunther―a situation made worse by the sudden appearance of one Heinrich Meyer, who claims to be little Anna’s father and threatens to take her away. Desperate, Elsie seeks the help of Clive’s sister, Julia, who is herself the victim of domestic abuse and who has fallen under the spell of a handsome Texas millionaire bent on acquiring a rare painting from the Howard collection.
Clive and Henrietta’s search takes them to Chateau du Freudeneck in Strasbourg, France―the ancient seat of the Von Harmons and home to three eccentric distant relatives. What begins as a wild goose chase turns decidedly more deadly when several Nazi officers also arrive at the chateau in search of a “valuable item.” When Henrietta and Clive attempt to flee after Henrietta uncovers a shocking truth, they are forced to trust themselves to a suspicious French servant who seems all-too willing to help . . .
Michelle Cox is the author of the Henrietta and Inspector Howard series as well as “Novel Notes of Local Lore,” a weekly blog dedicated to Chicago’s forgotten residents. Her books have won over 50 international awards and have been praised by Kirkus, Library Journal, Publishers Weekly, Booklist, Foreword, Elle, Redbook, Brit&Co., POPSUGAR, Buzzfeed, and many others.
Unbeknownst to most, Michelle hoards board games she doesn’t have time to play and is, not surprisingly, addicted to period dramas and big band music. Also marmalade. She lives in Chicago with her husband, three children, and one naughty Goldendoodle and is hard at work on her latest novel.

Author Interview
Inside Your Heaven: Inspiring Stories of the Afterlife shares your experiences in life with the psychic world and your growth into a Psychic Medium helping others to heal. Why was this an important book for you to write?
I felt compelled to write this book to share how many of us were born with intuitive, psychic mediumship and extra sensory gifts. Also, like myself and in most cases, people try to hide them or suppress them over the years and end up developing anxiety and depression. We live in a society that doesn't honor the intuitive mind, and it can get quite lonely, so by writing this book I am creating an outlet for those who are struggling like me with their spiritual awakenings. Remember, we are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience (Teilhard de Chardin). I also wrote this book to offer answers to those questions about what the inside of Heaven is like. I wished to show many others grieving how to navigate this world without those we love once they transition to the other side, by sharing my own honest and true personal experiences.
What is a common misconception you feel people have about the Afterlife?
After every loss within your Soul Group, you will no doubt have a Spiritual awakening, and your loved ones are going to send you frequent signs from the other side that they are indeed okay and that they walk alongside you every single day just in a different form. Don't ever think that you're going crazy. Be open. Talk about it. In some cultures, death is celebrated the same way a person's birthday is celebrated, as if it’s a graduation from this life school here on earth —a rebirth to the next life. Heaven is truly right here just in another realm, and what most people think or in my Catholic upbringing that St. Peter locks up the gates of heaven upon arrival, that is just not the case. Our loved ones choose us to be their Heaven because why wouldn't they? They're right here with us, joining us with love and comfort on our car rides to work in the morning, and on the couch at night watching our regular nighttime shows. They’re loving and guiding us from the other side through our time here as we continue with our spiritual journey and growth. What lives on is the love and light that emanates from them. I can tell they are off doing other things and serving in more than one place at a time, like the way the sun rays touch down on Earth in every state and every continent they too, are rays of light.
What is one piece of advice someone gave you that changed your life that you think can help others with psychic mediumship abilities?
I want people to understand that being a psychic medium isn't supernatural, it's SUPER NATURAL. We all have these gifts, and they are the navigation system of our soul. I think Einstein said it best... "The intuitive mind is a sacred gift, and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift." I can't keep giving into what our society molded us to think, to the point it's creating depression and anxiety within me. I need to honor my intuition because it belongs to my soul and nobody else can take that from me or anyone else for that matter. I feel so much better being led by my intuition than the thoughts and opinions of others in this backwards society. Since I've been honoring my soul, it's been such a great journey and I've helped, guided, and healed so many in return. Being psychic is just a soul-to-soul connection and being a medium is just connecting with your loved one’s spirit and energy on the other side. I've been gifted with both all my life and once I started to zero in on these gifts, the less anxious I felt trying to deny my soul's birthright.
What is one thing you hope readers take away from your story?
Not only do I want you to feel safe, peaceful, and guided by my messages from my book, but I'd love for you all to gain the courage to listen to that still small voice within and when you're grief stricken, always trust that your loved ones would do everything possible to send you signs or come to you in dreams to allow love to continue on from their soul to yours from the other side, and that in the end you will all be reunited once again.
I rated this book 5 heavenly stars
It is such a comforting book to read. I read it during my flight from Buffalo to NYC and the three days when I was on a short vacation. The book is a wide awakening for me. I believe in spirits and angels. I know that they exist to keep us safe and warm especially when our loved ones who passed away. There are times that I can smell something and I know that it is my Dad who is showing me his presence. My Dad is a painter and there are times that I can smell paint even though my husband is not painting. My Dad also shows in my dreams. I know it is him but I cannot see his face. Angels do exist in so many forms. I know that they surround us wherever we go. This book lifts my spirit in so many ways. It brings joy to my heart. Sometimes I can see things that I thought felt like Deja Vu. I knew it already happened in the past but is still happening in the present. I feel contented that heaven is where we are and that our loved ones that passed away communicate to us in so many forms. We just need to listen and observe.

Book Title: Moving Target (Tactical Solutions International) by Maggie Clare
Category: Adult Fiction (18+), 225 pages
Genre: Romance / Romantic Suspense / Thriller
Publisher: Wave Equation Media, LLC
Release date: June 2022
Content Rating: R for explicit sex scenes, some violence, language.
Book Description:
Teagan Tate has everything he’s ever wanted, but despite his wild success as a musician and his wild popularity with the ladies, he’s lonely. Meaningless hook-ups are getting old. There is one woman he’s interested in, but she won’t give him the time of day.
Maria Ruiz has no time for men like Teag – men with a revolving bedroom door who are too cocky for their own good. Sure, he has the body of a Greek god and a sexy Aussie accent, but as head of security for his band, Maria won’t risk her professional reputation. And as a woman who’s been there and done that, she won’t risk her heart.
Things take a deadly turn when Teag is the sole surviving witness to a cartel murder. Still recovering from his injuries, he’s forced into hiding with his sexy bodyguard. As their feelings grow into something unexpected and wonderful, a ruthless killer continues to hunt Teag.
Maria and Teag must rely on each other to stay out of his crosshairs, or they risk losing each other and their chance at love.
I rated this book 5 *****'s
I was disappointed in myself for not reading the first book of this series
This book is so good. It is hard to put it down. It is so suspenseful that it made my heart beats so fast. I was disappointed in myself for not reading the series' first book.
I devour this book for 2 days. I do not want to put it down but I have to because I have to work. I even read it while on my lunch break. Maria is such a warrior with a heart of gold, beauty, and the ability to protect people. I admire this woman and she is my favorite character in the book.
Teag on the other hand has so many talents except he cannot strum Maria's heart and she is a bodyguard. The connection between this two is insatiable. The fight to protect the family is so intense that Teag is not afraid to lose his life.
This book is full of action. It feels like you are watching a movie instead of reading a book. One of the best books I read this month. I salute Ms. Maggie Clare for this amazing book. I become a new fan.
