Branham is a skilled writer. His biographical "Anything for Amelia" book was a gripping TRUE story that had my heart breaking halfway through the book.
Now with PARCHED, he has me feverishly flipping to the next page as this story unfolds. Great twists, turns, and surprises as this family grows, changes and perseveres through their journey. This is a smooth, insightful read you shouldn't pass over!
5.0 out of 5 stars I really love everything about this book!

Great new book by new author Andrew Branham. This book was a great and fast read. I loved the fact that it dealt with the deep emotions of the characters living in a terrible world. The book will keep you at the edge of your seat. Couldn't put it down. Great setting, great visuals, lovely character development. You won't be disappointed in this book. I like the vivid description of scenes. I am eagerly waiting for his other production. I recommend this thought provoking series.
5.0 out of 5 stars Gripping storyline

Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
If you are looking for a book you can't put down this is it! It's a gripping story of a family trying to survive in a dangerous world not too unbelievable for us to put ourselves in their shoes. It makes you think about how far you would go to protect yourself and the ones you love. I love how the author takes you through each phase of the families trials as if you are right there with them. You will cheer for them as they make little triumps and cry for them as they face their challenges head on. Cheers for the mother whose character finds an inner strength she didn't believe she had. Highly recommend this book as its story line appeals to everyone.

Visit with 5 horses, 2 people and 1 tent~Enjoy an #excerpt from A Standard Journey by author Jacky Parry @NandJJourneys #travel with #pets #animals #horses #RPBP

I would like to introduce you to a beautiful story. Some of you may have already had the pleasure of discovering 
"A Standard Journey" 
by author Jackie Parry 
but for those of you who haven't, here it is. 
Even if you have experienced this, maybe it's been a while since you visited with 
5 horses, 2 people and 1 tent! 
Available in eBook & Paperback Format
About The Book
They rescued five horses from an unknown fate.

They sold everything they had.


With daring inspiration, Jackie and Noel trained the lost and confused horses, and forced their own unfit bodies to meld into one team.

Life became horses, trail, endurance, and camping: all seven reliant on one another as they trekked along part of Australia’s majestic Bicentennial National Trail.

What started as a dream adventure turned out to be more than they had ever imagined. The beauty of the trail didn’t lessen its dangers; with minimal support and all their worldly possessions on horseback, Jackie and Noel made mistakes and with humour learned the hard way.

They were amateur horse-handlers, tackling an epic challenge, but they created something special, unique, and incredibly endearing.

Fears were faced, healed, and conquered. Bonds were forged.

But did the team of seven that started together, finish together?

Saddle up and take a ride along life’s natural trail of trauma, fear, pain, and loyalty.

————————————-
The Standardbred is a horse breed best known for its ability in harness racing at a trot or pace.

———————————————
Jackie will be donating 50% of all proceeds from this book to help rescue more horses.

Read What People Are Saying About This Book

‘The humour and humbleness makes this such an enjoyable read.’

‘She conveys her story with searing honesty.’

‘This will stick with readers for a long time.’

How About an excerpt from "A Standard Journey"?
We Won’t Even Have A Sink! 
Galloping down the mountain to find a gun to shoot one of our horses, I realised that I had bitten off more than I could chew.

My borrowed horse sensed my fear as we plunged down the trail. My mind focused on the gun, a necessity to terminate excruciating pain. There was a broken horse on the ridge. He had released a knowing groan as his fetlock snapped.

Plunge, jump, ford – I squeezed my aching legs around my brave mount. We both expelled urgent breaths from our flared nostrils. I had to find a gun!

Sweat and tears mingled, running clean streaks along my grubby face, my eyes stinging. My heart banged in my chest, while the horse’s heart thrummed beneath my calf muscles. Time slowed as if we hurtled through syrup.

I cursed Noel - it was his idea. Not to shoot the horse, but living with horses twenty-four seven while trekking along the Bicentennial National Trail (BNT). We had rescued five lost beasts that could have been destined for dog meat. Over many months of struggle, we had transformed the seven of us into a team.


Who Is Jackie Parry?
Currently Jackie is exploring the French canals on a Dutch barge with her Australian husband.

Originally she was from the UK, Jackie is now an adopted

Australian. She grew up with horses in the UK until her world was shattered with a heart-breaking bereavement. Disillusioned with life she ran away to Australia and met and married Noel. They decided to buy a boat and set sail. So within her first year living in a foreign land, she was getting used to a foreign husband, and a foreign life on board!

Mariah II took Jackie & Noel around the world. Pyewacket II (purchased in San Francisco) took them across the Pacific Ocean for a second time on a more southerly route. Adventures include The Great Loop in the USA plus Canada's Great Lakes and the French Canals.

As a commercial skipper Jackie has worked internationally, and has been a Marine Rescue skipper. She has also taught commercial maritime. She co-wrote a pilot book (in America) and several hundred magazine articles worldwide. Cruisers' AA (accumulated acumen) was Jackie (and Noel's) first self-published book.


Jackie Parry is also a blogger, and she's a natural!

The Para-Portage of Emily #Romance Book Tour! #Excerpt #Giveaway #paranormal #ghosts #destiny #RPBP

The Para-Portage of Emily (Shadow Seduction Series Book 1)

Emily Macque, a young, beautiful junior partner in her father’s law firm, is but a heartbeat away from love or destiny. Duty brings Emily to a frozen Island estate two hundred and fifty miles north of Chicago. Devotion requires she delve into the property history to settle an estate probate. Death lures her into the arms of the shadows seduction created by the flickering light and dark shadows. 

What flames the timeless passions spanning the decades? Love, desire or obsession?

Colin Jorgenson, once a Great Lakes mariner, is a strong man haunted by love and loss. How long will he return each night, gripped by desire, hoping to find the woman he has loved for a century?

Beneath the pristine Island beauty, passions hungered, lingered in the ardent darkness. His passions, fueled by decades of loneliness and longing, could no longer be denied. Will they face eternity together or love in secret as dark things are to be loved between the shadows and the soul?

Reviewed by Trisha Dawn for Readers' Favorite
It all started with death. Emily Macque's Uncle John died and
she was sent by her father's law firm to handle his probate, personal affairs, and summer estate. She was also sent there to rest as she was recently diagnosed with a heart condition. Such is the beginning of Muffy Wilson's The Para-Portage of Emily. Emily's stay was supposed to be uneventful. However, as she dug deeper, she uncovered more than what was normal. Muffy Wilson wrote about a love which transcends time. In the Para-Portage of Emily, this love was put under scrutiny and was explained thoroughly.

The novel was exquisitely done. It was written with such grace that even when it took time to uncover all the mysteries, it was worth it in the end. The dialogues were cleanly written, too. This was a book I had the pleasure of savoring. How Muffy Wilson wrote it will give readers the right feel. The sensitive details were written with such grace that it didn't sound too much. In terms of the characters, they were like real life people. They were suitable for the story and not out of place. As far as I'm concerned, I'm in love with Emily. In addition to that, I was torn between Colin and Cooper. Overall, I think The Para-Portage of Emily is a wonderful, seductive read. It's definitely a page-turner. If you are a fan of romance, this book is an indulgence. It was mine.

Reviewed by Angelica Berglund on Amazon
This book is just brilliant and so damn good. I was hooked in the story within a few pages and I just couldn't stop reading the book. It was impossible to put it down once I had started. The story is very well written and unfolds very nicely for the reader. It drags you in and keeps you spellbound.
Their is a nice mix between paranormal, romance and mystery in the book and you can see that Muffy Wilson combines them very well in this book. I must say that just the way of combining things into one book is what makes this book so good. It is not just pure anything, but more than pure awesome.

I like how the story is told and how the book is written. The style and tone is very well done and the tone of the language and how the language is used to drag the reader in, is what makes the book so good. Emily is also a very entertaining character that I like a lot and at first I was unsure about her but the more I got to know her the better I liked her. The character development and how they grow and change in the book is also very nice and very well done. You can see the character changing and growing in the story and how they react to things in the story to a good way.

This is a must to read book because it is very well written with a very good storyline that is easy to follow, but still gives you surprises. I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book!

'Game of Love'
“My darling…how I have missed you. While you were away today, my love, I thought of little else but you. I wrote to you. Let me read to you what I wrote… 

There is a captivating sort of magical look in your eyes that tells me there are a few surprises lurking within that beautiful brain—and mayhap, those loins—of yours. 

It is the kind of look that invites me to step closer, much closer, until we are touching
but not touching; just sort of "feeling" each other's presence. 

My face hovers so close to your own and our eyes are not just locked into each other but more magnetically drawn, like moonbeams. 

I reach up and brush the side of your face with my hand, 

and your face is so close I can feel the warmth rising from you. 

I keep my eyes on yours as long as the connection will last and then 

I lean down and gently, ever so gently, brush my lips on yours. 

It is positively electric and without noticing our bodies are suddenly pressed fully against each other pushing with a sense of urgency and need. 

Our mouths press together and tongue seeks tongue, 

warmth seeks warmth and need seeks need… 

We kiss for what seems like forever or perhaps just an instant, 

but who really knows… 

Things happen for reasons, good reasons we have no business questioning or comprehending… 

Here. Now. I want you… 

I want to look into those mischievous eyes and see them soften with desire. 

I want to look up at your face from my explorations of your velvet folds and see a look of complete passionate surrender overtake you. 

I want to feel my touch move you to places we can only explore together… 

I want you to sit astride me, so I can look up at you. 

And I want you to ride me to the edge of the abyss, where we both hover, 

hang in that sweet incalculable moment; 

that moment of wanting to tumble over, to plummet, but wanting even more to NOT… 

to have it last, as long as we can stand it, 

there on the edge of cataclysmic satisfaction, 

but holding it off, and holding it, and holding it, and…. 

I can't wait for when you finally gasp and sob and 

your body spasms and lurches and you fall against my chest, 

our bodies pushed together in the heat and the fertile humidity 

and your hair cascades across my face and I breathe you in; 

I breathe US in, rich, earthy, the smell of fresh baked bread, or just uncorked champagne. 

Us, yes, us; our smell, our wonderful particularly unique aroma. 

It is to be loved, 

my darling, 

it is for the loving of you… 

It stays with me, my love, it stays with me… 

“Come with me, my love, come. Let me show you the depth of my passion, the breadth of my yearning, the hunger I bear for only you in this, our game of love.” 

“Colin, beloved…it is no game to me, for you are my life, my breath, my heartbeat.” 

The woman rose to her petite height in her buttoned high-heeled boots tight at her small ankles. She was dressed in a broad skirt cinched tightly at the waist with a wide leather belt. Her blouse was broad and blouson with a cascading lace flurry, pinned by a jewel-encrusted cameo, from her small neck down. She wore a short-waisted, scalloped jacket, collarless, a single button under her ample bodice, sporting three-quarter sleeves which exposed an explosion of lace ruffles at the cinched wrists of the blouse beneath. Her wild auburn hair was tied up in ribbons and curls which he released with a mere tug on a single velvet end. The red-hued ringlets of silken curls fell around her shoulders to her back and breasts. The soft wisps of curls framed the beauty that was her face and her eyes softened with love and desire. 

“Disrobe, Amalya, here before the fireplace, in the moonlight and heat of our love. Take the shackles which separate us off one by beautiful one and leave them in a puddle of cotton and gabardine at your feet. Leave but the pearls that adorn your earlobes and neck and let them pale in your shadow.” 

“Colin, you flatter me so, but I adore it and would never deny your wishes. Here, sit in your chair, by Puppy, and I shall dance for you by firelight, moonlight and God’s light. For our love is a love that is pure and true. I waited my entire life for you to claim me as your own. I will not deny myself the pleasures of your desires—nor mine.”

New Release from #RPBP~Parched by author @AuthorAndrewB #dystopian #post-apocalyptic #globalwarming #climatechange

"Parched"
Release Day
4.14.16 

A family’s desperate struggle to survive in a world where water is more valuable than gold.
by author 
Andrew C. Branham
Available on Amazon
Midwest Book Review—Diane Donovan, Editor/Senior Reviewer.
“Parched holds several surprises; not the least of which is its ultimate direction. Readers used to the typical linear progression of many apocalyptic reads will find something unique and special in Parched: highly recommended for any who want a powerful thriller with a strong environmental message.”

****
Jacky Donovan, author of Amazon bestseller Simon Ships Out: How One Brave, Stray Cat Became a Worldwide Hero.
“A gripping thriller that vividly and creatively brings the potential terrors of climate change to life, Parchedis an engaging and immensely believable novel that captivated me with every twist and turn of its plot.”
The sun has become a ‘red giant’ and the world is hot and
parched. In California, James and Lexie Deforio have three goals: to find food and water, to survive another day, and to protect their two children. When their home is abruptly robbed and burned to the ground, the family is forced to embark on a cross-country journey in search of safety and water. 

Facing ruthless bandits, murderers, and some of the most extreme conditions they have ever encountered, they struggle to survive. When James is shot trying to help another family, Lexie and her children set out on a harrowing journey to save him. Finding temporary safety in the abandoned Ohio salt mines deep under Lake Erie, they appear to have found a new home. But, like everything on their journey, not all is as it seems.


Andrew C. Branham was born in the culturally rich town of Lorain, Ohio – a few miles West of Cleveland and on the shores of Lake Erie. He is the son of two educators and has an older sister that lives in Michigan.
Andrew attended Lorain High School and then proceeded to get his bachelors degree from Bowling Green State University. He majored in environmental science with a minor in business administration.
Andrew C. Branham
Upon graduation, Andrew entered the business world working for a major food company. He quickly climbed the corporate ladder and was soon promoted. As his career continued to flourish, he relocated to different cities 12 times (all over the United States). Today, Andrew is an executive working for a food company out of Jackson, Michigan. He is married to his long-time partner and they have one daughter.
In his spare time, Andrew enjoys family, cultural dining, reading, writing, Cleveland sports, and exotic travel. He has traveled all over the world to experience other cultures and religions. His favorite destinations are Costa Rica, Oman, Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Italy, and Bora Bora.
Andrew was inspired to write his first book, Anything for Amelia after he went through what many industry experts deemed ‘the most difficult adoption in U.S. history’. During his 206 day ordeal he kept a daily journal from which the book is based. It is the first memoir that explores the true dark side of the adoption world.
In April of 2016, he released his first fiction book, Parched, to rave reviews. The book is a dystopian/post-apocalyptic thriller set in a world where water is more valuable than gold. It is currently being sold on Amazon in print and Kindle.

Her debut title, Dusgadh: Essence of Life (Book One of The Awakening Series) was self-published in June of 2015 and is available everywhere online. Having written her first paranormal fantasy book at the age of forty-three, Margaret Daly has started a wonderful trilogy. Margaret took her life’s encounters and crossed a bridge to a different world with them, a world filled with untamed power and endless possibilities.

Being raised in the hills of West Sparta, New York, Margaret lost her home and everything in it to fire at a young age. She dove into the dark world as a teenager and from there on spent most of her life wrapped up in unfortunate situations from bad choices. Margaret learned some things aren’t what you expect; some things end up being more.

Now, with her loving husband and four children, a family full of support and love, she has managed to overcome all the oddities thrown at her. Becoming the published author she once dreamed of being as a child but lost track of during this journey we call life.

Margaret is currently working on the second book in this trilogy, and hoping to have it finished and out to the public this year (2016).
