Everything I’ve Ever Wanted to Say
Lauryn Norwood
Publication date: September 14th 2024
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance
Collette “Coco” Rose returns to her small hometown for the summer, hoping to repair her turbulent, on-again-off-again relationship. Instead, she finds herself drawn back into the orbit of Shane Turner—the town’s reclusive outcast.
Once a rising musician, Shane has spent the past five years hiding from the world, haunted by past mistakes and cut off from everyone.
When fate throws Coco and Shane together once more, they must confront their shared past—a childhood crush that refuses to fade. As they navigate broken hearts and complex lives, their connection grows into something far more intense than either had imagined.
In this tender and passionate journey, set in the early 2000s, Coco and Shane must decide if they are willing to open their hearts to each other for a second chance at real love.

Venus: I come from world filled with violence, death, and impossible choices. I’ve only backed down from fight once, and that left me with pain and regret. But now, I have chance to balance scales. I’m known as most dangerous member of Salvation’s Bane MC. But truth is, beneath tough exterior, I’m still a scared young woman running from monsters, trying to protect those I love. That fear ends today. Only problem? Biker named Piston. Doesn’t know meaning of personal space. He’s always there, watching me, protecting me, and even though I’d never admit it, his presence brings strange sense of peace. He makes me want things I can never have.
Piston: For more than a decade, I’ve been Venus’s silent protector. In the shadows, I’ve watched her, stalking her every move. When she settled in Palm Beach with Salvation’s Bane, I made sure to be close by. I keep an eye on her, guarding her, even if she doesn’t realize it. But when an enemy from her past threatens her, I step out of the shadows. Venus is on the hunt, and the monster she’s chasing has awakened the beast in me. I protect what’s mine. And Venus? She’s mine.

#ReleaseBlitz: What We Wished for by Lisa Crawford Watson @RABTBookTours #Giveaway
An Adoption Story
Memoir
Date Published: October 22, 2024
Publisher: Double Entendre Ink
A twin herself, Lisa Crawford Watson believes she has the insight needed to mother twins. Mounting obstacles impede the adoption process, and she examines whether such setbacks are signs that she shouldn’t adopt. But when identical twin infant sisters in need of a permanent, stable home come into her life, she falls in love with them and knows what she must do.
Adopting premature twin girls who were born drug- and alcohol-addicted, and jostled, separately, from foster home to foster home, creates one hardship after another. Lisa quickly learns that raising children is a feat of sacrifice and unpredictability, and caring for children born into trauma may be more difficult than she ever could have imagined. Over the years, the twins wreak havoc on every relationship within the family and on Lisa’s heart. Has adopting the girls caused more harm than good?
What We Wished For: An Adoption Story shares a woman’s quest to build a loving family. It is a tale of courage, perseverance, and what remains when things don’t go as imagined. This memoir speaks to anyone who has ever struggled with a life-altering decision, one from which there is no turning back.
#BookBlitz: The Spiderboys of Arnae by Glenn Thomas @RABTBookTours #Giveaway
Volume 1
Science Fiction
Date Published: 10-01-2024
To the people of Earth, it is generally agreed that there is no sight more extraordinary than that of their human cousins on the distant colony of Aranae jumping onto the backs of giant spiders and riding off as if going to a picnic.
To the people of Aranae, it means freedom. But for The Provenance, their Earth rulers, one of their colonies entertaining thoughts of liberty makes them uncomfortable.
In the first three Spiderboy adventures comprising Volume 1, we follow the sixteen-year-old runaway, Haley as she discovers for herself the meaning of freedom.
1. Haley’s First Spider Bite.
Billionaire’s daughter Haley Morgan joins forces with an unlikely ally in an escaped convict on a quest to track down and apprehend a dangerous outlaw while at the same time dodge the spiderboy search party sent to catch Haley and return her home. And as in all young-woman-joins-up-with-escaped-prisoner stories, things are bound to get out of hand.
2. Malady in Savoy.
Continuing her quest, Haley takes a job as a showgirl in the city of Savoy where she becomes the object of mistaken identity, gets caught up in interstellar intrigue and falls for a roguish fugitive agent from Earth. Shape-shifting does have its drawbacks.
3. Along Came a Spider.
Haley endures a marathon battle of survival with a monstrous Trap Door spider that is determined to pin the girl on its venom-laced fangs.
