A Blind Curve by S.N. McKibben

Cover Designer – Get Covers

Marriage, parenting, and making ends meet is a long road to haul─and I’ve screwed it all up.  My ex thinks I’m a deadbeat. My daughter has lost all faith in me.  As a long-haul truck driver, I haven’t been there for either of them. Now that I’ve been caught driving my rig without a license it proves them right.

Since I’m on probation, I’ve been forced to take a co-driver on the road with me and prove to him that I can safely pass my commercial license, even though I’ve been doing this for a decade.

This is my last shot to continue with my company and prove myself to my broken family. I’ve missed a lot but I’m going to make it up to my daughter. I’m not going to blow it.  Not this time. I’m going to get the money my daughter needs. There’s a financial bonus in my future if I can talk Jake, my co-driver and probationary instructor, into hustling his laidback, rule-following ass into finishing the job early. 

As Jake and I travel together, the long drive and miles ahead of us bring us closer than I’m comfortable with─or am I?  Suddenly, I’m feeling things I never thought possible with another man. Could Jake be the “ride or die” I’ve been yearning for my entire life?  Is the road less traveled the one I’ve always needed?  Am I scared? Hell, yes!

Danny Chambers is back.
I lost my heart to Danny Chambers in high school, even though he parked me in the friend zone five minutes after we met. It’s taken years to stop thinking about him at least once every hour. It helped when he enlisted in the Air Force. But he’s back, and he’s walking onto the football team. He could go to college anywhere, so why does it have to be Mountain State?
Even best friends keep secrets from each other.
When Danny earns a spot playing receiver for the Wildcats, I’m in the clear. I can admire him from the stands and go back to my boring life of finishing my undergrad and resigning myself to being married to my career. After what went down with my one-and-only boyfriend last semester, well, I need to stop dreaming about happily-ever-after. Which makes the head games Danny is playing with me so painful. Why is he acting like he wants something more with me?
Five years ago, I made a colossal mistake.
I need a second chance. Growing up a military brat, the one constant in my life was playing football. Though I met all kinds of people while switching schools on the regular, one look at Taryn Hamilton and she’s my girl. Yet after we met, I discovered quick she was off-limits if I wanted to catch passes on Friday nights. I paid a big price for my bad choice. Now after giving Uncle Sam four years so I could attend college, I’m at Mountain State where I’m taking every opportunity to show Taryn how I truly feel – how I have always felt about her. She is so much more than my best friend.
Football was my first love. Now I’m playing for my only love.
Game Time.

Tam DeRudder Jackson’s love of all things Celtic led her to write the Talisman Series.

Rogue, the most recent book in the series, was named a best book read in 2022 by the Independent Book Review.

Tam earned her BA in English from Montana State University and her M.Ed. in literacy from Lesley University.

Get In or Get Out but Don’t Stay in the Freakn’ Middle (F#ck Freud Series) by Dr. Lia A. Roth

Get In or Get Out but Don’t Stay in the Freakn’ Middle (F#ck Freud Series) by Dr. Lia A. Roth
Hosted by Itsy Bitsy Book Bits
Genre – Self Help
Page Count – 259
Dr. Lia Roth, a psychoanalyst with a wealth research, academic and clinical background, combines her deep expertise in the complex world of the human mind and relationships.
With a psychology degree from the University of Buenos Aires and advanced studies at Washington University in St. Louis and the Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis, she knows her way around the messy minds and twisted emotions we all try to hide.
Her new book? It’s a fire-starting manifesto for anyone who’s been spinning in the middle of a relationship without moving forward. Stuck in the ‘gray zone’? Dr. Roth says that’s no place to be. Here’s the deal: it’s not about giving an inch, taking a mile, or lying down for the sake of so-called “compromise.” No way. If you’re selling out your own dreams just to keep the peace, you’re not living in love, you’re surviving. Which is a huge difference.
Dr. Roth dives into her ‘binary relationship theory,’ blowing up the idea that love is a compromise. It’s a dynamic balance where it’s all about you, me, and the spark we’re creating together. If it’s dead, if it’s toxic, if it’s stealing your vibe: fix it or nix it, but for the love of sanity, don’t just hang around hoping it’ll magically get better. That’s what this book is here to shake out of you.
And betrayal? Oh, it’s deeper than “someone did me wrong.” Dr. Roth cracks it open, betrayal doesn’t just crush trust; it shakes you to your core, twisting your sense of self until you barely recognize who you are ..and, no, this isn’t some PTSD story. It’s an identity crisis, a total wake-up to everything you’re made of. Drawing from semiotic theory (yup, the study of signs and symbols), she shows you how betrayal strikes on a level most people don’t even see coming.
Loaded with Dr. Roth’s no-BS insights, raw stories, and a big punch of sass, this book gives you the map to escape the cycle, regain your confidence, and walk out stronger than ever. This isn’t just some feel-good read; it’s your blueprint to take control, live bigger, and find the strength you never knew you had. If this feels uncomfortable, good. Growth is supposed to stretch you!

Taylor is the proud mom of three (not-so-young-anymore) kids she loves more than life. She spends her days juggling their endless activities, hoping she looks presentable enough to be out in public, while writing stories inspired by the strangers she meets in her daily life. Maybe she’s a little crazy, or maybe she just misses the Barbie games played with her sister when they were young—but that’s where her stories are born. It’s where they blossom and grow, and eventually breathe life onto the pages of her books.

Taylor is drawn to the complexity and flaws of people. She believes that a life well lived is full of mistakes and that beauty is always found in imperfection. And yes, she believes in happy endings. She’s been married to the love of her life for 21 years after kissing way too many frogs.

She would love to hear from you! (Or I would love to hear from you… writing in 3rd person makes me sound way cooler.)

Some person likely said that a story shouldn’t start with the main “hero” “heroine” or whoever wakes up, that it’s lazy to do so.
Screw that.
That’s exactly where my path to carnage ladened revenge begins. This is my tale and you’ll get exactly how I feel it’s best to dish it out.I’ve lost my memories, my life, and only know there is a single person out there I need to save.
My sister.
I will do anything, become anyone in order to seek out the revenge on who stole my memories and sister from me.
Except, the mountain and the mortician are in my way of sacrificing myself for my sister and a life I dream for the two of us. Kidnapped by the mountain and held hostage by the mortician; I’m really going to have to put some thought behind how I’m going to get away from them.
Too bad for me they are as big as psychos as I am.Trigger Warning:
I’m no good with these, so I’m trying my best. There’s trauma, dismembering, torture, unaliving, kidnapping, and maybe a few other things. Like I said, I’m not good with these. I don’t have triggers when I read so pointing out ones for my own book is difficult.
Enter with caution and I hope you enjoy my three psychos.

Forging Chaos (Forging Series) by Lainey Davis

Sometimes you have to lose everything to win what matters most.
I had it all – speed, skill, and a one-way ticket to the pros. But one bad hit shattered my career and left me with a busted leg, a bruised ego, and no clue what comes next.
Enter Thora, my no-nonsense research partner who’s too smart, too fierce, and too beautiful for a washed-up guy like me. She’s got a sharp mind, big dreams, and zero patience for my pity party. Plus, she sees straight through my game face to all the broken parts of me, and instead of running away she challenges me to do better.
But just when I’m starting to believe I could have a second chance – with life and with her – she drops a bombshell: she’s leaving. Heading halfway across the world to chase her own dreams.
I’ve lost one future already, but there’s no way I’ll lose this one, too. Thora’s heart is the only prize that matters, and I am ready to go all in.

A Game of Malice (Malicious Games Series) by Gledé Browne Kabongo

Welcome to Branson Academy, where secrets can kill, trust is a dangerous game, and the deadliest lessons aren’t taught in the classroom.

When tech prodigy Mackenzie Fleming disappears, her best friend Lucas Rambally is determined to find her. But the deeper he digs, the darker it gets. Blackmail, death threats, secret societies, corporate espionage… This is way bigger than a missing person case.

As his search intensifies, Lucas uncovers a web of dark secrets that could bring Branson Academy to its knees. Then Branson insider and chess master Ivy Ishihara starts dropping sinister chess metaphors. And they’re not just clever wordplay—they’re dire warnings. Lucas has stumbled into a game he was never meant to play, and one wrong move could prove fatal.

The clock is ticking, and to find out what really happened to Mackenzie, Lucas must answer one simple question: Is his friend running for her life, or is her disappearance a mind-blowing con that conceals something far more shocking than anyone could have imagined?

Taylor is the proud mom of three (not-so-young-anymore) kids she loves more than life. She spends her days juggling their endless activities, hoping she looks presentable enough to be out in public, while writing stories inspired by the strangers she meets in her daily life. Maybe she’s a little crazy, or maybe she just misses the Barbie games played with her sister when they were young—but that’s where her stories are born. It’s where they blossom and grow, and eventually breathe life onto the pages of her books.

Taylor is drawn to the complexity and flaws of people. She believes that a life well lived is full of mistakes and that beauty is always found in imperfection. And yes, she believes in happy endings. She’s been married to the love of her life for 21 years after kissing way too many frogs.

She would love to hear from you! (Or I would love to hear from you… writing in 3rd person makes me sound way cooler.)

Winter Austin perpetually answers the question: “were you born in the winter?” with a flat “nope,” but believe her, there is a story behind her name.

A lifelong Mid-West gal with strong ties to the agriculture world, Winter grew up listening to the captivating stories told by relatives around a table or a campfire. As a published author, she learned her glass half-empty personality makes for a perfect suspense/thriller writer. Taking her ability to verbally spin a vivid and detailed story, Winter translated that into writing deadly romantic suspense, mysteries, and thrillers.

When she’s not slaving away at the computer, you can find Winter supporting her daughter in cattle shows, seeing her three sons off into the wide-wide world, loving on her fur babies, prodding her teacher husband, and nagging at her flock of hens to stay in the coop or the dogs will get them.

She is the author of multiple novels, with more on the way.
