Mister Darcy series comedic mysteries

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is one of the most popular novels in English literature. Austen’s stories were fundamentally comic but also delivered a thump on the head to the traditions that forced 18th century women to depend on marriage as the only road to survival.

MISTER DARCY’S DOGS

Book One in the Mister Darcy series

The mysterious Mister Darcy retains the services of dog psychologist Lizzie Bennet to train his basset puppies for an important foxhunt. Despite knowing nothing about fox hunting, Doctor Lizzie takes on the challenge. Assigned to cover the hunt for the BBC is Society Reporter Caroline Bingley, the would-be paramour of Mister Darcy.

Lizzie’s sister Jane and Charles Bingley join the adventure and fall trippingly in love as Lydia involves Georgiana in an ill-planned caper. And why is Wickham lurking in the shrubberies?

                                                 Also available in eBook, paperback, and audio.

MISTER DARCY’S CHRISTMAS

Book Two in the Mister Darcy series 

Christmas just became a lot more complicated for dog psychologist Lizzie Bennet and her sisters. While shopping in London they find little urchin Annie and her dog Sammy. As a fierce snowstorm takes over the city, the aloof but alluring Mister Darcy invites the girls, including Annie and Sammy, to spend the night at his penthouse. With the best of intentions Darcy asks Annie and her seven siblings to join the Bennet sisters for a quiet Christmas Eve celebration in his London fortress. The skullduggery begins when Caroline Bingley – the villainess Austen fans love to boo – shows up acting the part of the Grinch and Scrooge combined.

Also available in eBook, paperback, and audio.

MISTER DARCY’S SECRET

The mysterious Mister Darcy enlists the aid of dog psychologist Lizzie Bennet in his secret quest. Lizzie soon finds herself deep in his battle where familiar villains join forces with evildoers to stop Darcy at all costs.

PANSY COTTAGE

Lizzie plots a secret garden wedding for her sister, Jane and Charles Bingley. Can she outsmart Mother Bennet or will the gorgon prevail?

What's New in August

August News Letter

We are nearing September, summer is winding down, parents and students are starting to prepare for the school year ahead. It's a good time to purchase a few books for the student and a well-deserved novel for the parent's quiet time. We continue to stock our shelves with great titles from amazing authors. Speaking of great authors, don't forget to get your copy of Cynthia Robbins, The Light Warrior, featured on our website this month. A kindle copy sells for only 99 cents!

We are moving forward with our physical store. Opening is anticipated for April, 2016. We are still offering submissions for books, arts and handmade gifts to be considered for our store. You don't have to wait until the store opens since our online store is up, running and expanding daily. At this time we are not accepting perishable or large items – but we will consider them for the physical store in the spring.

Speaking of 'on-line store', we have been so busy taking orders, reading submissions, and mailing off orders! (That’s a good thing). We want to let our customer's, clients, and potential client know how much we appreciate your business and support! Thank you all so much!

We are hoping to take a few trips further south along the coast this fall, hitting all the markets we find, in search of great talent. We'll also be using the time to rest up for the coming grand opening. Maybe we'll see you in our travels.

August Featured Author: 

Cynthia Robbins, author of The Light Warrior

If you haven't read The Light Warrior by Cynthia Robbins yet, then you'll want to get a copy. The Light Warrior is available right now as a kindle download for only 99ȼ!

I had the pleasure of meeting Cynthia while attending an art fair in Silverton Oregon, where I obtained a signed copy of The Light Warrior. Before reaching the bottom of page one, I was hooked. Cynthia is a brilliant storyteller. The Light Warrior is a mystical page turner.

Cynthia was born and raised in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. She was raised on a farm providing the environment to explore and develop her creative imagination. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Western Oregon University. Cynthia professionally works with youth offenders, teaching life skills and critical thinking for more than sixteen years. She also devotes her time as a Provider of an adult foster home working with young adult men with autism.

Cynthia writes magazine articles, screenplays, and novels. She is passionate about metaphysical concepts to unbend the mind. As a Truth-seeker at heart, she is on a quest to know the greatest mysteries and to share her knowledge with others on the same path.

Lucy Hayes instinctively knows there has to be more to life then the monotonous daily grind. While the reality of high school friends and parties seem less important, Lucy embarks into the college world, hopeful to find excitement and answers to her deepest questions about the greatest mysteries in the Universe.

When Lucy meets Eli, she dives into a whirlwind of revelations that an alien invasion took place. But thousands of years ago that has haunted Earth since. With her present love and a love from another time, in seeking to illuminate the problem of evil, she learns of dark secrets, planetary conspiracies, time travel, genetic manipulation, the nature of the Universe and her destined role in disclosing the greatest mystery—that star races do exist.

In an extraordinary blending of reality with myth, magic and science, The Light Warrior refreshingly twists apocalyptic destruction, and inspires courage to overcome fears of the unknown. The reader will enjoy new concepts of the paranormal, lost ancient civilizations, spirit guides, aliens and Vampires—the Light eaters. In restoring supernatural abilities, the tale weaves together the great mysteries of our human origins and an ancient mystical world rediscovered.

Sacrifices are to be made. Lucy not only must battle the Dark Brotherhood—she must battle the war inside her heart.

New Growth

There have been a lot of changes this month. As I said before, in so many words, it's making my head spin (in a good way). Have you been by lately to see the fabulous vintage books added about animals? Some of these would make such lovely coffee table books. The spectacular photo's and information on The Great Ape's, Wild Sheep, Snakes and Mammals. There are more, but if you love animals, you'll want to see these. These books are large and heavy so we are trying to keep the price reasonable for our customers by offering free shipping.

Shelby K Morrison & From the Ashes

"Shelby K. Morrison is the author of Shattered, devout member of the Pointless Research Addicts support group, and was voted Most Likely to Be President in high school. She believes fiction should be an escape and any great escape involves a world of wonder, characters you wish you knew, and good food. She can usually be found in three places; her office, the couch or....well just those two unless an overcast day calls her out of doors. She has a particular weakness for animals, Studio Ghibli movies, and Flamin' Hot Cheetos (resulting in a frequently stained keyboard). She is not opposed to tokens of appreciation, particularly edible ones. But if you really want to make her smile, drop her a line!"
For eighteen years Aia Wynnald has lived a lie. Raised as a highborn in the Kingdom of Tharien, she’s filled her days with tutors and archery lessons. But simmering beneath her polite surface is a dangerous gift, one which she must keep a secret. Aia is a Bender. And in Tharien, Benders are feared and hunted. When her unruly power breaks free with dire repercussions, Aia’s lifelong goal of independence shatters. As she scrambles to piece her life back together while evading capture, she disturbs a vengeful force intent on destroying the kingdom. Now, with the help of an unlikely ally, Aia will decide the fate of Tharien. To rescue those she cares about will require accepting what she is. But can she risk becoming the monster she’s dreaded to save the very citizens baying for her blood?
