“A story that captures your heart and continues you thinking about it long after you fall asleep.”

Autumn Nash lives a nomadic existence with her harvest-travelling father, except every summer when they return to one place like clockwork…Ligonier, PA. But this season, Autumn meets a young man who changes her world and makes her long for more.

Eric Foster has been sent to stay the summer in Ligonier with his grandfather in hopes of altering his path as his life spirals downward. His direction changes the moment he sees Autumn; he knows his very reason for breathing is solely to be with her.

When Autumn is ripped away from Ligonier, she leaves Eric confused and devastated that their time is over. Both teens struggle through the years gone by without the other. Will Autumn ever see the boy who changed her life again? Will Eric wait for her? Will Autumn ever make it back to Ligonier? And what will happen when buried secrets surface?

Discover a love that takes you back to what it’s all about—the confusing, yet simplistic, beginnings of falling in love and watch it evolve into something that takes your breath away.

SNEAK PEEK:

I wanted to tell him he was doing this body shot thing all wrong. It was supposed to be done fast—salt, tequila, lime. One, two, three.

Rapid fire.

Not this leisurely investigation of my body. But I was convinced that if I tried to talk the words would get caught behind the massive lump clogging my throat.

The suction of his mouth made me shudder, and despite myself my body betrayed me. Fiery tendrils unfolded, and as he lapped at the tequila, drinking it up, I couldn’t help imagining what it would be like if his mouth moved lower . . . lower . . . lower . . .



Author Bio:

Kimberly has been in love with LOVE since the first grade, when she would make “boyfriends” hold her hand during recess . . . whether they wanted to or not. In high school, she discovered romance novels and she’s been hooked ever since!

She is the author of the award-winning THE BODY FINDER series, THE PLEDGE trilogy, THE TAKING trilogy, and UNDRESSED (her first book in The Men Of West Beach series). She's also co-written the soon-to-be-released picture books about a girl who loves science! Her books have been translated into 15 languages, and both THE BODY FINDER and THE PLEDGE were YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults selections.

These days, she spends entirely too much time ordering stuff off the Internet, binge-watching Netflix, and holding hands with a guy who doesn’t have to be forced (her husband).

Heavy Timber Structures by Anthony F. Zaya and Tim Diener




This stunning book of photos is from the Lancaster Co. Timber Frames Inc. It is a small compilation of some of their projects over the years.  The Lancaster Co Timber Farms build amazing wooden buildings from churches to historical reconstructions.  The pictures in the books show the different buildings they have had a hand in. Along with the finished pictures you get what I will call a blueprint of the wood they placed or used in building the structures.  There are also pictures of the construction. It is a very interesting book to look at and read.  The reading part is very short, so it only takes a couple of hours to get through the book.

I received this book from the Author or Publisher via Netgalley.com to read and review.

Human Tribe by Alison Wright




I love photography books. The pictures in them can take you all over the world. This book is no different. In this book there are over 160 photographs of people. They range from babies to very old. Some have backgrounds others are just close ups of faces. There is beauty in everyone of these faces. Eyes are said to be the window to the soul. The eyes in these photos are very expressive and beautiful. The photos in this book range from the mid 1990's to 2016. They are from all over the world. There are no words in the book other than the introduction. The pictures themselves tell the tale in this book.

Owl Earrings Rose Quartz Love Stone Healing Dangle Women Girls Earrings





I love earrings. I am close to be addicted to earrings. I love the dangly ones the most. I also like owls. But one of my favorite parts of these earrings are they are made with Rose Quartz. Rose Quartz is one of my favorite stones. It is known as the love stone. It is the stone of the Heart Chakra. It is a feminine stone and also carries compassion, peace, tenderness, healing, nourishment and comfort. It is a beautiful light pink stone.

The stones in these earrings are natural stones. They are polished to a beautiful shone. The stones may differ a little bit in color and size sine they are natural stones. The metal Owl part is silver plated brass. The pendant is a little over 1 inch long. The back side of the earring is also silver plated and has a lot of air holes so the stone can breath. These earrings look heavier then they are. I really do not feel the weight as I am wearing them.

I have extremely sensitive ears and I did have to change out the french hooks to sterling silver to be able to wear these for more then a few hours. I have to do this with most earrings so I did not mind at all. I purchase the sterling silver hooks on amazon and they really are not expensive at all.

I am thrilled with my new earrings. They are so cute. I can wear them with most outfits as the pale pink goes with almost anything.

9 Colors Mixed Long Hexagonal Nature Crystal Quartz Stone Healing Point Pendants






I love wearing crystal and stone jewelry. I fully believe int he healing powers of certain stones and crystals. I also love the beauty of the stones and crystals. For instance after I met and fell in love with my husband  I gave him a Rose Quartz to carry in his pocket. Rose Quartz is known as the love stone. Now it is 11 years later and one of the first things he puts in his pocket every morning is that same stone. he doesn't believe like I do but he carries it every day. It even goes in his pocket on the days we are just setting around the house.

This is a set of 9 pendants. Most of the stones are genuine. The ones that are listed and say Synthesis are not genuine The pendants are 1 of each of Turquoise (Synthesis), Opal (Synthesis), Tiger’s eye, Sodalite, Amethyst, Rose quartz, Green Aventurine, Yellow Aventurine, Blue sandstone (Synthesis). The pendants are about 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 inches ling. Each one has an alloy bail on it. The holes in the bail are large enough to put a chain or even leather cord through.

For about the price of 1 necklace I  have 9 interchangeable stones. I can wear which ever one goes with my outfit or which one I need for healing or grounding that day. Each pendant is tumbled and polished. These can be used in different types of jewelry making projects or other crafts. The set is really beautiful.
