“Eyewitness” by Pat Wiley, A Jack Quinn Novel

January 31, 2016 by SF Parrott Leave a Comment

Eyewitness, Book 1, Jack Quinn Novel,  Pat WileyMy name is Jack Quinn. I’m in prison, awaiting trial for murder on the high seas. The nightmare leading to my arrest began while sailing alone to the island of Bermuda. I swear, with God as my witness, I was coming to aid a boat in distress. I am writing this in the hope someone may know something––anything to help prove I’m innocent.

***

Freelance writer, Jack Quinn, has lost everything – his job, his life savings and now his freedom. What turned out to be an opportunity to fulfill his dream of sailing single- handed from New England to Bermuda has transformed into a nightmare.

Barely surviving a hurricane, Jack offers aid to survivors on a dis-masted sailboat. But something is wrong. After arriving back to the mainland, Jack’s arrested and finds himself the prime suspect in an extensive FBI investiga- tion of smuggling, money laundering and murder. Overwhelming evidence mounts as Jack relies on two women, one of whom risks her life, to find corroborating evidence to his story and track down the only witness in his favor––a humpback whale.

“Pandas on Parade” by Sumi Fyhrie

Panda's on Parade by Sumi Fyhrie


CHILDREN’S | AGE: 3-8


AnLei is curious. In fact, she is VERY curious. Every day, beyond the walls of her bamboo home, AnLei hears music and watches bright colorful orbs float into the sky. Every night the sky fills with exciting bursts of light that pop and crackle.

“Will you help me look over the wall so I may see what is there?” AnLei asks her mother.
“Someday when you are bigger,” her mother answers.

AnLei decides ‘someday’ is too long to wait. Together with her best friend Bird, she uncovers a small opening in the wall – a hole just big enough for a little panda.

Anlei and the Pandas on Parade by Sumi Fyhrie.
Published by White Parrot Press (imprint of First Steps Publishing)
Release Date:  2015

INCLUDES: Story and Fun Facts

“I Am Awesome ~ A Healthy Workbook for Kids” by Mary Richards

I Am Awesome by Mary Richards


MIDDLE GRADE | 8-12


by Mary Richards ~

I Am Awesome, A Healthy Workbook for Kids was written with the needs of our youth in mind. It was written for both boys and girls, especially the tweens (ages 8-12) and early teens (13-14). The author wrote with the intention of helping this age group develop positive self-esteem. Kids have many physical and psychological changes to deal with while going through puberty, plus they are trying to cope with pressure from family, friends, teachers, coaches, and society in general, to act a certain way, often with mixed messages.  This informative and motivating book will help the owner work through several of those challenges.
