Years after a near-fatal car accident almost destroyed his career, Erik Patko has finally returned to the Broadway stage, starring alongside his famous parents Lord Justyn and Lady Rebecca in a revival of the classic musical Opera Ghost. Even his girlfriend Priscilla joins the chorus after her college graduation, but instead of soaking up the accolades, Erik is tormented by his leading lady and growing more and more dependent on opiates to manage his anxiety and depression. When a masked vigilante fighting hate crimes in the Theatre District enacts vengeance on his tormenters, Erik fears his addiction is causing him to bring his character to life on and off the stage.

Winner will receive a paperback set of Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 (US only)! ~~~

The Weirn Books, Vol. 1: Be Wary of the Silent Woods and newly released The Weirn Books, Vol. 2: The Ghost and the Stolen Dragon (JY, an imprint of Yen Press | October 15, 2024 | Ages 8-12). In the Night Realm, shifters, vampires, weirns (a particular kind of witch), and other night things passing for human may prowl the streets, but school is still in session—and you still have to do your homework!

In The Weirn Books, Vol. 1: Be Wary of the Silent Woods, Ailis and Na’ya are pretty average students, but when a shadow starts looming and a classmate gets all weird, they’re the first to notice. It gets personal, though, when Na’ya’s little brother D’esh disappears. To get him back, she has no choice but to confront the secrets of the forbidden mansion in the Silent Woods!

School Library Journal hailed The Weirn Books, Vol. 1: Be Wary of the Silent Woods as a “sweet, not-too-scary coming-of-age story that feels like a young read-alike to Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” while Publishers Weekly praised Chmakova’s signature art style: “Classic manga visuals enrich Chmakova’s charming, full-color art: sweeping magic amid serene concentration, shadows accentuating fear-inspiring retorts from authority figures, and facial contortions add humor to life-and-death stakes… Chmakova smartly keeps the focus on family, friendship, and the relatable struggles of fitting in.”

Just in time for Halloween, The Weirn Books, Vol. 2: The Ghost and the Stolen Dragon takes readers back to Chmakova’s supernatural world full of magic, adventure, and… dragons! After her terrible adventures in the Silent Woods, Na’ya’s world seems to have returned to normal… that is, except for the nightmares that keep haunting her. What she needs is the power to protect everyone, and she has the perfect solution—she’ll turn into a dragon, once and for all! With help from Ailis and Jasper, everything seems to be going according to plan. But what’s that dark shadow slithering around the spell-casting range?

Chmakova is considered one of the most iconic creators in the middle grade graphic novel space, making a name for herself with acclaimed and award-winning works like Dramacon, Nightschool, Berrybrook Middle School, the manga adaptation of James Patterson's Witch & Wizard, and the webcomic Chasing Rainbows. Her most recent graphic novel, Enemies (released Sept 2022), was a top seller in the category.

Today I'm giving one lucky winner a audio book copy of my young adult novel Phantom, narrated by Maggie Weber!

Crime was yesterday’s kink… until it came crawling back.

Former paralegal Rhonda Campbell left the law behind when she swapped legal pads for latex. Now, as Mistress Kali, she runs the most exclusive BDSM dungeon in Atlantic City, where pleasure pays the bills and fantasy is always in play—until a longtime client is smothered with a French tickler. Talk about a safe word fail.

Enter newly relocated Detective Jason Dee, fresh off the gritty streets of Philly and itching for a real case—because so far, New Jersey’s biggest offense seems to be overpriced cocktails. When he finally lands a murder investigation, his prime suspect is a whip-smart, leather-clad domme who’s as infuriating as she is intriguing.

With a killer on the loose and tensions rising, Rhonda and Jason must combine their expertise in sex and homicide to crack the case—before another victim is tickled to death.

A Cosmic Adventure of Courage and Hope: Why Kids Will Love Martin & the Light Beams of Amalius

noreply@blogger.com (GabbyLowe) — Sat, 10 Oct 2026 04:00:00 +0000

Award-winning author Dimitri Moraitis invites young readers on a magical journey that celebrates imagination, friendship, and the light within us all.

What if a beam of light appeared in your bedroom one night and offered to take you on an adventure across the universe? For Martin, the young hero of Martin & the Light Beams of Amalius by Dimitri Moraitis, this extraordinary encounter opens the door to a journey filled with wonder, unforgettable characters, and life-changing discoveries.

Written for readers ages 8–12, this imaginative middle-grade fantasy blends cosmic adventure with an uplifting message about courage, compassion, and hope. It encourages children to explore new possibilities, believe in themselves, and discover that even during difficult times, an inner light can help guide the way.

When Life Takes an Unexpected Turn

Martin is a curious boy fascinated by the stars and planets, but his parents’ constant arguments leave him feeling lonely and overwhelmed. Just as he considers running away, a mysterious beam of light named Amalius appears and offers to transform him into a beam of light for an extraordinary cosmic adventure. Along the way, Martin discovers unexpected strengths, learning that even in difficult times, hope, imagination, and courage can help him find his way.

Extraordinary Worlds and Unforgettable Characters

Guided by Amalius, Martin travels to remarkable worlds and meets a colorful cast of light beams, including the fearless General Romaine, the radiant Diva, and the mischievous Rag-a-Muffin. Each character brings a distinct personality to the story, filling Martin's journey with imagination, surprises, and opportunities for discovery. Their different qualities also highlight the importance of individuality, cooperation, and recognizing the unique strengths everyone brings to a team.

Discovering the Light Within

At the heart of Martin & the Light Beams of Amalius is the idea that everyone possesses an inner light—a source of courage, kindness, hope, and personal strength that can shine even during difficult times. Through Martin's experiences, Moraitis presents this idea in an imaginative and accessible way. Light becomes more than a magical element; it symbolizes the qualities that help people move forward when they feel afraid, uncertain, or alone.

The story reminds young readers that believing in themselves does not mean they must face every challenge alone. Friendship, compassion, and cooperation are essential to Martin's success. By helping the inhabitants of Amalius, he discovers that even small acts of courage and kindness can make a meaningful difference.

Inspiring Imagination and Reflection

As an award-winning author and internationally respected spiritual teacher, Moraitis brings his interest in spiritual awareness and personal growth to a younger audience. He weaves these themes into a magical narrative rather than presenting them as abstract lessons, making the story accessible to children who enjoy asking big questions about themselves and the world.

The book may also appeal to families looking for stories that encourage reflection and meaningful discussion. Martin & the Light Beams of Amalius is about more than traveling to distant worlds. It is about discovering that imagination opens doors, friendship provides strength, and challenging experiences can reveal unexpected courage.

For children ages 8–12 who love cosmic mysteries, fantastical characters, and stories with heart, Martin's adventure offers an invitation to wonder. For adults sharing the book with young readers, its message is equally meaningful: even when life feels dark, there is always the possibility of finding more light.

Why You Can Have a Good Life and Still Feel Like Something Is Missing

By Chandra Lynn, M.B.A.

This article is for the woman who looks at her life and thinks, I have so much to be grateful for. Why am I not happier?

Maybe the kids are finally asleep. The kitchen is mostly clean. You sit down for the first time all day, and instead of relief there’s a low hum you can’t quite name.

Nothing is wrong. You love your family, you know how lucky you are, and you could list a dozen reasons to be grateful without trying. That’s what makes the feeling so hard to talk about, even with yourself. So you cover it with a little guilt (I should be happy) and keep going.

Maybe you try to fix it from the outside with a new routine, a weekend away, or a bigger goal at work. Sometimes that helps. A lot of the time, though, we’re trimming branches when the part asking for attention is underground, in the roots.

I learned that in my own body.

What I Was Really Building

When my son, Kai, was a baby, I joined a gym. I was working from home, and the gym’s childcare gave me something I hadn’t had since he was born: time that was just mine.

On paper, it was about getting my body back. I had gained more weight than I wanted, my pre-baby clothes didn’t fit, and I didn’t like what I saw in pictures. The harder part was the voice in my head. For years I had called myself “the 10-pound overweight girl,” and after Kai that inner critic got louder. Some days it felt like my body was working against me.

So I made the scary walk over to the free weights. The people there were far kinder and more helpful than I had imagined. I found a 12-week beginner program, followed it all the way through, and learned that consistency mattered more than any one workout. I’ve been on a program of one kind or another ever since.

Somewhere along the way I realized the muscle was the smaller part of it. My self-talk got quieter. What I was really building was trust in myself, and a slowly growing belief that I am worth taking care of. I still notice things in the mirror I’d change, but I’m proud of what I built.

When I reached my goals, I hosted a thank-you dinner for the people who had supported me. I didn’t get there alone, and I wanted them to know it.

That season taught me something I now build my work around. We expect the rise without the roots, and the root work is where the magic happens.

Your Five Roots

In my Root-to-Rise® framework, I picture a life as a tree with five roots: Health, Family, Relationships, Career, and Friends. Everything other people see lives above ground. What holds it up is underneath.

The roots aren’t a ranking, and they won’t all be thriving at the same time. Life moves in seasons. When your kids are little, Family may be getting nearly all the water while Health or Friends go dry for a while. That’s normal. It’s also worth noticing, because a root that stays dry long enough starts to affect the whole tree.

The Hidden Forces Underneath

Below the roots are what I call the Hidden Forces: six human needs that quietly drive our choices. The idea comes from human needs psychology, which traces back to Abraham Maslow and was developed further by Tony Robbins and Cloe Madanes. Root-to-Rise is my adaptation of it.

The six are Security (stability and a sense of safety), Variety (change and fresh experiences), Self (feeling that you matter as you), Intimacy (closeness and belonging), Growth (learning and expanding), and Transcendence (contributing to something bigger than yourself).

We all have all six, and none of them is good or bad. What matters is how we’re meeting them, and what our way of meeting them is costing us.

For a lot of moms, this is where the restlessness comes from. Caring for your children can feed Intimacy and Transcendence in ways nothing else ever has, and running a household can feel a lot like Security. But the same role can crowd out a need without your noticing. You can get so good at meeting everyone else’s needs that Self, the need to feel like a person apart from your roles, gets almost nothing. Or Growth stalls because there’s no room left in the day to learn anything just for you.

When “Something Is Missing” Is Information

That restless feeling is usually a signal, and it’s worth listening to before you decide what it means. Most of the time it doesn’t mean you need to blow up your life. It may mean one root has been dry for a while, or that a need that barely registered five years ago matters much more now.

This comes up often in transitions, when kids start school or leave home, when your body changes, or when your work does. The strategies that carried you through the last season were the right ones for that time. Some of them may not fit the woman you’re becoming.

You can be deeply grateful for your life and still be curious about what it’s asking of you.

Try This Week

The next time the restlessness shows up, don’t rush to fix it. Pause and ask one question: What need am I trying to meet right now?

If the answer is Self, you may not need a whole weekend away. Ten minutes that belong only to you might do more. Pick one small way to feed that need this week, and make it small enough that perfectionism can’t talk you out of it. Then notice what changes.

Root-to-Rise was never about building a perfect life. It’s about building roots strong enough to love the life you have, even when it’s messy, hard, and uncertain.

Erik Patko is living in the shadow of his celebrity parents. Returning to the family theater’s summer show is a constant reminder that he’ll never meet their expectations, but the seashore town of Cape May is the perfect setting to confess his love to his friend Priscilla and may give them an edge on the competition later when they audition for their college production of Renters.

Resident drag queen Curtis Hawthorne is thrilled to be cast in the starring role in Sexy Boots at the Ange du Palais, but not everyone wants the show to succeed. With protestors outside the door and a saboteur within, the curtain may fall on this performance before Curtis takes his closing bow.

Despite the growing tension between them, these two musical theater stars will join forces to face off against the Millsboro Church when the hateful leader targets the people they love.

I’m Right Here by Michelle Grace - A Mother’s Love Written in the Stars

noreply@blogger.com (GabbyLowe) — Sat, 03 Oct 2026 20:09:17 +0000

From the Author

Hello, my shining star! A heartwarming story about how a mother’s love has traveled across vast universes just to find their shining star. I’m Right Here teaches us no matter how far you may be, the stars will always remind you of the bond between mother and child. With enchanting illustrations and charming metaphors, this story makes for a great bedtime story under the starry night sky.

Available on Amazon.

My Thoughts

Every family has a different story, and sometimes those stories inspire something truly magical. I'm Right Here, a new children's picture book by Michelle Grace, arriving October 6 from Brown Books Publishing Group, is one of those stories.

I'm Right Here tells the story of a mother's love that travels across vast universes in search of her "shining star." Through metaphors and a celestial theme, the book reassures young readers that the bond between parent and child remains strong no matter the distance. Its focus on reassurance, connection, and unconditional love makes it an ideal bedtime story and a meaningful addition to family reading time.

The first thing that caught my attention with this book was the stunning cover illustration by Lea Androic. The cover with the flowing meadow filled with flowers stretches beneath a twilight sky scattered with stars is memorable. The soft color palette and whimsical details create an atmosphere that is both comforting and enchanting, perfect for a children's bedtime story.

The message inside the book matches the beautiful images. I'm Right Here gives you a heartfelt bedtime read that celebrates connection, family bonds, and the power of storytelling. It delves into the relationship between mother and child, and how its as eternal as the stars. Even though my children are grown, as a mother of four, this message resonates withe me.

What makes this book especially meaningful is the journey behind it. The author, Michelle, became a mother through surrogacy after building her career and life in New York City. Like many parents, she wanted to create a strong bond with her child from the very beginning. Through her exploration of early childhood development, she discovered the power of storytelling and imaginative play as tools for connection. What began as a personal way to nurture her relationship with her daughter eventually became the inspiration for her work as a children's author.

One of the most interesting themes behind I'm Right Here is the role that imaginative play can have in strengthening the parent-child relationship. In today's busy world, parents often worry about finding meaningful ways to connect with their children. Storytelling offers a simple but powerful solution.

Whether it's reading bedtime stories, creating make-believe adventures, or inventing magical worlds together, imaginative play encourages conversation, builds trust, and helps children feel seen and understood. It creates shared experiences that children often remember for years. Michelle's own experience showed her that stories are more than entertainment.Tthey can become a bridge between parent and child, helping families build attachment and connection regardless of how their family was formed.

At Jester’s Landing, the rides aren’t the only things that’ll make you scream.

When Atlantic City’s most notorious clown fetishist turns up dead minus his head, suspicion falls on his favorite dominatrix. Especially after he cuts his bitter family out of the will and leaves her his entire fortune.

Head domme Rhonda Campbell, aka Mistress Kali, refuses to let her friend take a flogging for a murder she didn’t commit. She dives into a case where the scandals are stickier than cotton candy and the suspects are strapped to their own emotional roller coasters.

After a month working security at D.O.M.M.E., LLC, Detective Jason Dee thought he’d seen every kink in the carnival, but this investigation tests his limits. Between wrangling his partner’s clown phobia, surviving the Dungeon’s circus-themed fundraiser, and keeping his feelings for Rhonda on a short leash, he’s juggling more than evidence. He’s trying to catch a killer determined to get the last laugh.

At Bayside Women’s Correctional Facility, justice isn’t just blind. It’s bound, gagged, and begging for mercy.

Rhonda Campbell thought she flogged her last case with the Atlantic City Police, but when an inmate turns up dead with telltale suspension marks, the cops come calling again. With the murder pointing to kink, coverups, and dirty power plays, Rhonda agrees to go undercover behind bars, where the guards are shady, the gangs are mean, and the jumpsuits are definitely not her color.

Meanwhile, Detective Jason Dee’s been reassigned from homicide to handling crop-wielding dominas and wayward subs. While Rhonda plays prisoner, he and his partner are stuck guarding the Dungeon. His feelings for Mistress Kali are as complex as her contract negotiations and just as dangerous, but when the prison gig needs a visitor with street cred, Jason’s all in, even if playing her pimp means risking more than just his dignity.

With lives on the line and secrets tightening like a velvet cuff, Rhonda and Jason need to blow the whistle on this prison scandal before another girl ends up permanently suspended.

Today I'm giving one lucky winner a audio book copy of my young adult novel Phantom, narrated by Micaela Harper!

Rebecca has always been enchanted by the musical Phantom, but she never expected her life to turn into a chilling reflection of the story.

When her high school drama club chooses Phantom as their annual production, she lands the coveted lead, but stepping into Christine’s shoes comes with more than just stage lights and romance. She finds herself torn between two co-stars—Tom, the golden-boy athlete playing the dashing hero, and Justyn, the enigmatic Goth who is almost too convincing as the tortured Phantom.

As rehearsals begin, the drama doesn't stay onstage. Curtains fall, mirrors shatter, and chilling messages echo lines from the script. Is Justyn slipping too far into character, or is the real villain hiding behind another mask? With opening night fast approaching, Rebecca must uncover the truth before the final act turns deadly.
The stage is set. The Phantom is real. And he’s closer than she ever imagined.

Joshua Hanover had it all. He was handsome, rich, athletic, and had always been popular with the ladies. Yet, until he gets paired up with his beautiful but shy lab partner, Rosa, he never allowed himself to fall in love. As the chemistry between them grows, Josh realizes that his player days have come to end. But it seems his change of heart has come too late. Not only is Rosa leery of his bad boy reputation, he has four vindictive ex-girlfriends who are on a rampage. At first he doesn't take their threats seriously, but then his tires are slashed, someone tries to poison him, and one of the girls turns up dead. Josh doesn't know who to trust, but one thing is certain. It definitely isn't worth the price he's paying to be a player.

Available on Amazon & Audible

Gabriella is a witch. The problem is, she doesn't remember. She repressed the memories of her powers years ago when her mother was murdered. Now, the warlock who was responsible for her mother's death has set his sights on Gabriella. He is determined to use her fear to turn her to the dark side of magick…even if it kills her. Her mother's spirit is reaching out to warn her, but even that she pushes away. Desperate to save her daughter, the spirit finds a male witch–one that just happens to be in love with Gabriella. Darron is more than willing to help but the two young witches will have way more to battle than just an evil warlock. There are overbearing jocks and petty rich girls who get tempers flaring and often set Gabrielle and Darron at odds.

There is more to the story than Gabrielle and Darron could even imagine. There are terrible secrets to be revealed, battles to be waged, and lives will be lost. Only after Gabrielle and Darron both come to terms with who they really are and open themselves up to the true meaning of magick, can they have any hope of fulfilling their destiny.

Available exclusively on Amazon.

Gabriella and Darron thought their magickal battle was over when they defeated the evil warlock, Richard. When her Aunt Donna seeks Gabriella's help in rescuing her catatonic daughter from the Dark Coven, Gabriella discovers that her cousin holds a power within her that would be catastrophic in the hands of the evil witches. Her coven sets out on a journey that may be their last. Along the way, they meet new allies, face devastating treachery, and battle not only the Dark Coven, but the darkness within themselves. When Gabriella finally comes face to face with the cousin she never knew existed, her true destiny is unveiled and the fate of the mortal world is in her hands.

Weeping Bones Review

noreply@blogger.com (GabbyLowe) — Sun, 23 Aug 2026 04:00:00 +0000

I stumbled across a clip of Weeping Bones on TikTok, and the premise grabbed me enough that I had to look it up. It’s movie‑length, but only available on YouTube and the GoodShort App, and even though its low budget, I'm glad I watched it.

The story centers on Bella, a girl brutally murdered by a man seeking revenge against her detective father and coroner mother. Bella’s ghost watches helplessly as her parents investigate the case, unaware that the victim is their own daughter. As the story unfolds, you also see the complicated family dynamics: the sister who bullied her, the parents who never fully believed her, and the tension created when Bella was reunited with them at sixteen after being kidnapped as a child. They had already adopted another daughter, so her return wasn’t the fairy‑tale homecoming she deserved. I won’t spoil anything beyond that because despite its flaws, this story deserves to be experienced.

Now, let me be honest: The acting is mediocre, the plot has holes, and many scenes are unrealistic. As someone who writes murder mysteries myself, some things were glaring. A real detective would’ve recognized his own daughter. They delay blood tests. They don’t want to file a missing‑person report. And they never explain who kidnapped Bella years earlier.

But here’s the thing...none of that stopped me from bawling my eyes out through half the show. Watching Bella’s ghost hear her family dismiss her, even in death, hit me harder than I expected. And when the truth finally comes out, it’s genuinely emotional. The core story is powerful, and if you have an imagination, you can see past the low budget and appreciate the depth of what they were trying to do.

Overall, I’d give Weeping Bones four stars. The concept has so much potential, and I’d love to see it expanded into a full series with more backstory and stronger writing.

If you want to check it out for yourself, Weeping Bones is free on YouTube. If you’re anything like me, you might find yourself crying over a story that’s imperfect but unexpectedly moving.

Drew DiPalma feels like he's living a lie.

He's had it with his Hollywood persona, the high-maintenance women, and his sleazy agent. To escape the madness, he flees to a tourist town he'd often visited as a child. He never expected to find love on that little island. Then he stumbles upon Lainey alone on the swing set of a deserted beach.

After a dozen internet dating disasters, Lainey Riccardo has given up on romance--until she meets a West Coast hunk who has no trouble winning her heart. But Lainey only knows him as Drew, not the Oscar-nominated actor who's constantly scandalized in the tabloids.

When she learns the truth, will the small town Jersey girl be able to accept Drew's fast-paced life? Or will the truth drive her away forever?

Book 2 In Perfect Harmony and Book 3 Brushed by Fate are available now! See how this series plays out for these Jersey girls.
