Confessions of Super Mom


Confessions of Super Mom
Melanie Lynne Hauser
August, 2006
ISBN 0-451-21856-6

Birdie Lee is an average, divorced mother of two teenagers, until the day she's confronted by a Stain of Unusual Origin. Determined to rid her house of this vile menace, she accidentally loads all the household cleaners she owns into the reservoir of her Swiffer WetJet--and passes out.

When she wakes up, life as she knows it will never be the same again.

Suddenly endowed with super powers, Birdie - aka Super Mom - must learn to use the powers to save her town from an evil villain, while juggling teenagers, a smug ex-husband, a troubled friendship and the possibility of a second chance at love (at the tender age of 40).

Will she manage it? Will she battle the evil villain with one hand and patch up her teenaged daughter's broken heart with the other? And most importantly - will she ever manage to fight crime while wearing high heels?

Warm, witty and full of heart, CONFESSIONS OF SUPER MOM is a triumph for overwhelmed mothers everywhere.

"Like its title character, this debut novel has a secret identity...it's unexpectedly poignant and packs an emotional punch despite the cheery veneer..." - Publishers Weekly

Eternal Nights
by Patti O'Shea
August 2006
ISBN: 0505526603
Publisher: Dorchester

Capt. Kendall Thomas has been plagued by dreams of blood, dreams so horrifying they leave her trembling in the night. Kendall has good reason to be afraid. She's discovered thieves are stealing artifacts from the alien city on Jarved Nine, and the smugglers will do anything to protect their lucrative sideline—even commit murder.
The last man Kendall wanted to endanger was her best friend Wyatt Montgomery, but the stubborn Special Ops captain followed her when she went to gather evidence, and the smugglers trapped them both in the city's ancient pyramid. Now by day, they're chased through labyrinthine tunnels, deeper and deeper into the heart of the temple. But in the cloak of darkness, they can no longer deny the powerful force drawing them together, the passionate dreams that leave them aching with need, the touch of skin on skin that makes them long for—ETERNAL NIGHTS
