Saving Grace : L B Johnson
A Story of Adoption
It started with a birth certificate and ended up with an adoptee facing the same decision her birth mother made. For she was born to a teen mother on a warm day in August–a small, painful beginning in which she had been an unwilling participant, yet one that would shape her destiny.
Her childhood couldn’t be happier but when fate tears her adopted family apart and she finds herself alone – and pregnant, still a teen. The options are obvious, but there is only one decision she could make: to give her child up to a family praying for one, and walking away.
Written in a series of vignettes written to the child she may never meet, Saving Grace is a deep look at family and how we find love and healing with souls, both two and four-legged, that may not share our blood or our last names but who are our true family.
True Course and Small Town Roads by Brigid Johnson are also on Whizbuzz Books.

Olivia Stone and the Trouble with Trixies : Jeffery E Doherty
Olivia Stone and the Trouble with Trixies
Can a broken young girl help a guilt-ridden grotesque stop the monsters?
An Unprotected City
The Grotesque statues have been taken down from the roof of St. Giles Old Priory School. With the Guardians statue-trapped, there is no one left to protect Haven from the monsters.
Unexpected Heroes
Despite crippling injuries from a falling grotesque statue, twelve year old Olivia Stone finds herself on the front lines in the battle between Good and Evil.
Olivia needs to; rescue Yip, the smallest living grotesque and the cause of her accident, discover the hidden power locked within herself and find a way to out trick the trixies. But trixies know every trick in the book.
Trixies may look sweet and childlike but something nasty is drawing these solitary pests together and their pranks are turning deadly.
Five Stars “This was a great read. Every chapter holds suspense and leaves the reader wanting to know what happens next. Not the usual Trixie tale.”
Gail Kamer
(Amazon review)
‘It has elements of a junior Stephen King novel, without being too graphic for sensitive children.’

Piper, Once and Again : Caroline E. Zani
Piper, Once and Again
What do your memories smell like? Do you know things no one has taught you, missed someone you’ve never met or lived a life before this one? Read the book Publishers Weekly calls, “Compelling.”
Longing for something just beyond her grasp… A successful equine insurance agent living in 21st century Massachusetts, Piper struggles with relationships, patience, scents, and living in 19th century France.
Through tragedy, betrayal and a mother’s religious-driven fear, Piper must learn to intuitively understand the messages all around her. The scents of burnt raisins, freshly washed baby skin and the ethereal lavender fields of Provence, France reach out from a century ago to guide her on a journey she wasn’t aware she was on. And those shards of memories that ride on those scents – Friesian horses, a cradle in the corner of loft, an old man inhaling the scent of perfume on pristine white gloves – what could they possibly mean?
Follow Piper on this enlightening spiral through time, unconditional love, unbearable loss, unbelievable discovery, and a question of forgiveness, as she tries to find the one man who can help her unravel this tapestry woven before she took her first breath.
See why she is indeed Piper, Once and Again.
