Treasures On Your Doorstep : Julia Lynam
Treasures On Your Doorstep – The other national parks of the USA
They belong to you (if you’re a US citizen) and they’re right there, on your doorstep, offering endless delight.
What are they? 401 national park properties, telling the story of this nation from before time began. If you’ve visited the “biggies” now get the rest of the story! “Treasures On Your Doorstep” opens the way to finding and enjoying all these wonderful places! And it’s a fun book, well written and charmingly illustrated.
Author Julia Lynam says: “In the middle of a life of storytelling and adventure, I found myself donning a ranger hat and beginning my own unexpected journey of discovery of the national park system of the USA. I’ve also been privileged to share in the journeys of the thousands of visitors I’ve connected with during the course of my work in five very different national park units.”
Treasures On your Doorstep is not a place-by-place guidebook; it’s a portal to discovery, adventure, education and participation.
Reader reviews say:
“Julia has a very enjoyable way of writing. She brings interesting facts to life in such a way that you want to get out a map of your state and plan a trip!”
“She doesn’t try to tell you what to do or where to go. She presents opportunities for you to explore.”
“Best national park guide book out there.”
“I thought I knew a lot about the National Parks and was happily surprised to learn about lesser known but wonderful National Parks, Reserves, Lakeshores, Monuments and more.”
The charming illustrations are by artists Melanie Gillman of Denver Colorado and Jessica Valin of South Hero, Vermont
Treasures On Your Doorstep is available through treasuresonyourdoorstep.com or Amazon.com. Paperback $8.95; e-book $4.99
Lakeford Affair : Theora
Lakeford Affair
Lakeford Affair is the compelling love story of a young woman’s struggle to maintain her perspective in spite of complications and entanglements initiated by an extremely handsome, wealthy family friend.
Lakeford Affair is about friendship, mothers and daughters, and new/old love, as we follow a free spirited, intelligent, and fiercely independent twenty-six year old on her life’s journey to splendor. We see how her decisions change her life and outlast her battles as she is thrust back into the social limelight, the affluent life style she was born into, the life style she was so uncomfortable with, and finds herself ensnared in a power struggle between the unscrupulous Forsythe family and the handsome, affluent Hamilton Charles.
As our heroine tussles with her conflicts, the reader is witness to the heartbreak of a crippling auto accident, the fervor of a senate seat race, and the splendor of an autumn wedding that completes Lakeford Affair.
** A reviewer wrote: Lakeford Affair is an intriguing, light hearted novel that will literally have you wanting to trade places with some of the characters. The characters pull you into the story.
Lakeford Affair is sometimes pristine, sometimes razzmatazz: “Tristin’s eyes swept around the huge circular foyer… Clusters of guests arrayed in festive-colored satins, sequins and silks crowded the entrance hall. Abruptly, a hush fell over the chattering gatherings and they parted as if pushed back by an invisible hand.”
Lakeford Affair is an eBook found online at B&N, Amazon, Kobo, Scribd, eSentral, et al. OR Google: Lakeford Affair by Theora.

Marie Antoinette’s Head : Will Bashor
Marie Antoinette has remained atop the popular cultural landscape for centuries, mostly for the daring style and fashion she brought to 18th-century France. For the better part of the queen’s reign, one man was entrusted with making her elaborate hairstyles the talk and the envy of France. Who was this minister of fashion who wielded such tremendous influence over the queen’s affairs?
Marie Antoinette’s Head reveals the story of Léonard Autié, the queen’s hairdresser and confidant, the man responsible for the style that made her the envy of French society and partly for the uproar that dragged her to the guillotine. By unearthing the memoirs of the key players and a variety of sources from the 18th and 19th centuries, Will Bashor reveals Léonard’s mostly unknown story, his impact on events at the dawn of the French Revolution, the role he played in the life of his most famous client, and the chaotic and history-making world in which he rose to prominence.
Besides his proximity to the queen, the hairdresser also had a most fascinating life filled with seduction (he was the only man in a female-dominated court), intrigue, espionage, theft, exile, treason, and possibly, execution.
Marie Antoinette’s Darkest Days by Will Bashor is also on Whizbuzz Books.
