Shadows whisper and the words are deadly. A small, friendly Colorado town, nestled in the breathtaking Rockies, cloaks a malevolence, an evil that stalks women. Jesslyn Black, a writer, is content living her now-single, childless life. If she keeps to herself, she can’t get hurt. Haunted by the past, Jesslyn never again wants to experience the soul-shredding pain of losing loved ones. But a murder changes that. Aiden Kinncaid is running from his own secret loss. As the CEO of Kinncaid Enterprises, he travels to this remote Colorado resort town to oversee the opening of the new Highland Hotel. Though he’s not interested in any kind of relationship, he finds himself drawn to this temperamental, brown-eyed beauty. And her rough-edged attitude is a challenge to him. But whether or not either sought a relationship, they’ve found one. Aiden wants to protect Jesslyn even if she claims she can take care of herself, and she finds she can’t stop thinking about Aiden, even when he annoys her. Will they get their second chance at love and life before the killer eliminates one problem he doesn’t need?

ABOUT THE BOOK Throughout Jaycee’s memoir, she shares journal entries and photographs. The last chapters of the book reveals how difficult it is for her and her daughters to transition from being captives to having freedom. She spends a lot of time second-guessing her trips out in public, and guards their privacy closely. Jaycee writes about how she and her daughters are going through a recovery period, as well as therapy involving horses. She concludes the book by writing about her new foundation, as well as publicly thanking those around her for helping her and her daughters through their recovery. MEET THE AUTHOR Best-selling author, Jennifer Greenleaf (1975-present) was born in Leominster, Massachusetts to parents who are talented by their own rights (her mother is a crafter, as well as a self-made business-woman, and her father is a computer scientist). Her family moved to Maine in 1978, and despite trekking across the country from 1994-2000, she made her way back to Maine. Since 1999, she's written 1,000's of articles for the web, as well as many in print. She has also been a commissioned mixed-media artist since 1993. She and her husband, Chris, are raising three wonderful children (ages 10, 11, and 12 as of this writing), as well as four kitties. As you can see from Jennifer's list of books in this profile, she loves writing about whatever interests her. As of 2011, she began writing fiction, which will be revealed in 2012. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK Jaycee Dugard opens her memoir by providing an Author’s Note explaining how her book may be confusing to her readers. She describes how her mind jumps from one memory to the next and, in order to keep her voice, that’s how she wants to write her story. “Even after I was freed, moments are fragmented and jumbled. With some help, I have come to realize that my perspective is unique to abduction.” Her note is followed by her most recent school portrait taken when she was eleven-years-old. Jaycee begins her story in the introduction by explaining she was held captive for eighteen years and, during that entire time, she wasn’t allowed to say her name. She wants this memoir to help others who might have gone through a similar situation, “With my writings, I hope to convey that you can endure though situations and survive. Not just survive, but be okay even on the inside, too.” Buy a copy to keep reading!

Michael Schofield’s daughter January is at the mercy of her imaginary friends, except they aren’t the imaginary friends that most young children have; they are hallucinations. And January is caught in the conflict between our world and their world, a place she calls Calalini. Some of these hallucinations, like “24 Hours,” are friendly and some, like “400 the Cat” and “Wednesday the Rat,” bite and scratch her until she does what they want. They often tell her to scream at strangers, jump out of buildings, and attack her baby brother. At six years old, January Schofield, “Janni,” to her family, was diagnosed with schizophrenia, one of the worst mental illnesses known to man. What’s more, schizophrenia is 20 to 30 times more severe in children than in adults and in January’s case, doctors say, she is hallucinating 95 percent of the time that she is awake. Potent psychiatric drugs that would level most adults barely faze her. A New York Times bestseller, January First captures Michael and his family's remarkable story in a narrative that forges new territory within books about mental illness. In the beginning, readers see Janni’s incredible early potential: her brilliance, and savant-like ability to learn extremely abstract concepts. Next, they witnesses early warning signs that something is not right, Michael’s attempts to rationalize what’s happening, and his descent alongside his daughter into the abyss of schizophrenia. Their battle has included a two-year search for answers, countless medications and hospitalizations, allegations of abuse, despair that almost broke their family apart and, finally, victories against the illness and a new faith that they can create a life for Janni filled with moments of happiness. A compelling, unsparing and passionate account, January First vividly details Schofield’s commitment to bring his daughter back from the edge of insanity. It is a father’s soul-baring memoir of the daily struggles and challenges he and his wife face as they do everything they can to help Janni while trying to keep their family together.
