The Divorce Club New release by Jayde Scott

A bitter divorce from a two-timing husband leaves Sarah with no money to fend for her daughter, but she won't be beaten, so she opens The Divorce Club, a meeting place for women who want to divorce their cheating husbands, but don't know how.

Soon things start to go seriously wrong. A fake client and her rising interest in him isn't Sarah's only worry; there's also the moody teenager, a stalker, and the club's personalized battle plans that start to involve more than flashing a confident smile and running a 24/7 hotline.
When Sarah's ex-husband moves in without her permission in the hope to patch things up, chaos seems complete.

Readers who enjoy books by Sophie Kinsella, Meg Cabot and Candace Bushnell will enjoy THE DIVORCE CLUB, a fun chick lit novel by Jayde Scott. The author of the Ancient Legends series offers up a delightful new novel, filled with her trademark wit and humour.

Full-length novel: 80,400 words, approx. 320 print pages

Reader review:

5.0 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC read!, June 20, 2011

By

Donna Johnson -

This review is from: The Divorce Club (Kindle Edition)

If you're looking for a book filled with humor and witty dialogue, look no further-you've found it. This is the perfect recipe of romance, chick lit, friendship, offbeat characters with distinctive voices, hilarious situations, surprising plot twists, and wit all rolled into one. I found this book impossibly hard to put down. It was so fun to read and so well written I couldn't resist the urge to keep reading late into the night!

There are support groups for people with a gambling addiction, food addiction, smoking addiction, adoption, caregivers, home schooling, and so many more. So why not one for people who are going through a divorce?

Sarah is a single mother and needs to put food on the table. With her best friend, Mel, at her side, she decides to spread her wings and fly. Sarah risks everything and every dime she has into her new business venture and opens up The Divorce Club. Going through a divorce herself, she feels she can really help people through the pain and help them get their life back on track. Sarah gets a handful of clients and couldn't be more excited as she throws herself into her new role.

Working for the first time in her life, she learns what it's like to juggle a career and a moody teenager. If that's not enough, Sarah is suddenly being stalked, her ex-husband moved back into her home WITHOUT her permission, her clients are MORE than a handful, and a new hunky man, Jaime, has joined the club. How can she run a meeting when the guy can't stop flashing his pretty blue eyes, making her heart pound a million miles a minute? What kind of joke is destiny playing? The timing stinks with all the chaos in her life, it seems as life has dropped a bomb.

When she helps Jaime try and get his life back on track, she can't fight the attraction, and the chemistry between them is hotter than the blazing sun itself. But with the ex-hubby trying to sabatash the new budding relationship (and her new business) any chance he gets, and with her best friend, Mel, constantly whispering in her ear all the pitfalls of dating Jaime, things are getting hectic. Ex-hubby even gets more jealous when Sarah's teenage daughter, Sam, bonds immediately with Jaime. Sarah is thrilled that Sam accepts Jaime. So things are starting to look great, but Jaime has secrets of his own which add an amazing twist you won't believe. Will Sarah forgive and forget?

When more plot twists surface, Sarah is in danger of losing everything she loves and has worked so hard for, from her daughter to her beloved Divorce Club. Sarah stays strong and fights for everything she cherishes close to her heart, even when everything is crashing and burning around her.

I found my self rooting for Sarah, like her very own cheerleader. I wanted her to fall in love again and be successful enough to stand on her own two feet. I smiled, I sighed, I laughed, I cried. I was right there with Sarah on her journey. One thing I loved about the main character is that she wasn't whiny or cliché. She's strong, independent, down-to-earth, intelligent, sarcastic, hardworking, and just flat out rocks. My kind of woman for a heroine!

The Divorce Club comes alive with vibrant, colorful characters, an original plot and story line, and twists and turns you won't believe. I was completely surprised at the end. The pace is perfect and there was plenty of suspense. You'll love the wit and humor. This is definitely a must read!

The ancient battle between good and evil is nearing its end. Evil is winning.

Welcome to ROBERT DAVID MACNEIL’s webpage for the exciting new novel, IONA PORTAL. Iona Portal is an epic sci-fi fantasy… a suspense thriller with a supernatural edge.

The unseen world is a many-dimensioned reality: parallel universes populated by humanoid aliens who move between alternate versions of planet E

arth as easily as we shift from sunlight to shadow. Described in our myths as angels, gods, and demons, these trans-dimensional beings visit our world and walk among us unnoticed, but they are locked in a battle

older than time, with our future hanging in the balance.

For thousands of years the Archons have operated from the secrecy of the shadow realm to decimate the human race, and are finally poised to destroy us. Standing against them are the Irin, a benevolent race of winged aliens with great power but limited num

bers. As our planet sinks rapidly toward apocalyptic doom, our only hope lies in the synaxis, a group of ordinary men and women conscripted by the Irin and given supernormal powers.

But it’s a race against time. And as the synaxis members trek across the Scottish highlands to open the ancient dimensional portal on Iona, they must overcome heavily-armed psychopaths, flying bat-winged demons, and the awakening of a long-dormant volcano. Most of all, they must learn how to use their fantastic new powers to drive back the Archons and rescue the world from destruction.

Angels & Demons

IONA PORTAL is the real “Angels and Demons.” It’s an epic story of angels, demons, and inter-dimensional warfare. Though Iona Portal is a work of fiction, many of the events it describes are true.

“Millions of spiritual creatures walk the earth Unseen, both when we wake and when we sleep.” – John Milton, Paradise Lost

“Every society in human history has recorded contacts with angels. Students of prehistoric cultures have found pictures of winged humanoids scrawled on the walls of caves in every part of the earth. They’re described in the writings of Plutarch and carved in the monuments of Babylon and Persia. The Hebrews called them the benai Elohim, the ‘sons of God.’ The early Christians named them angelloi. Vikings called them valkyries. To Hindus, they’re devas, the ‘shining ones.’ In primitive Shamanism they’re simply called the bird people. The persistence of these accounts through history, and the amazing similarity of the reports, tells me we’re dealing with something very real.” Michael Fletcher, Iona Portal

“Angels come to us disguised.” – James Russell Lowell

“Most traditions teach that angels and demons often walk among us unnoticed. Your Catholic Bible warns you to always treat strangers kindly, because you never know when a stranger might be an angel.” – Michael Fletcher, Iona Portal

“It is not known precisely where angels dwell – whether in the air, the void, or the planets.” – Voltaire

“Your world is part of a multi-dimensional universe. Your physicists are only now beginning to recognize this.” – Eliel, Iona Portal

“Angels move from one dimension to another. They shift in and out of our world as easily as we move from shadow into sunlight.” – Michael Fletcher, Iona Portal

“Angels have always protected the human race. But all that’s now changed. The powers of darkness are moving among us with a new boldness… Some kind of battle is brewing.” – Michael Fletcher, Iona Portal

Author – Jen Wylie - Sweet Light - YA fiction

New Releases

Posted on March 25, 2011

Jen Wylie's debut novel Sweet Light is now out!

When fate conspires against you and gives you three loves to choose from, what do you do? What if you make the wrong choice?

Shara is a healer, raised and trained from childhood until her unique gift manifests itself. When she gains the rank Journeyman she is hired to serve as the court healer for the barbaric kingdom of Glendor.

Untrained for war, she is thrust unmercifully into its bloody arms when the kingdom is invaded. Ordered by her king to the front lines to tend the wounded, she is forced to flee when their camp is attacked. Happening upon a wounded soldier in the forest, every mile back to the capital is a struggle, and breaking the healer’s code, she falls in love with her charge.

If Shara thought that to be the least of her troubles, the appearance of a fierce warrior captain who appoints himself her protector, teaches her differently. Trouble comes in threes at the appearance of a former love and fellow healer. Faced with decisions of the heart and the sudden manifestation of her gift, there is little room for anything else to go wrong. Or at least that’s what Shara thought.

Question: If a demon was after you, how would you kill it?

Exogenesis (Celestial Mists)

When a respectable doctor mysteriously dies and his death is subsequently ruled a homicide, it sends shock-waves through the English village of Helmsley. As the investigation unfolds, few clues are found and only the local priest, Father Montgomery, and the doctor's daughter, Siobhan, seem at all affected by the man's passing.

To make matters worse, the newspaper start writing scandalous stories about the murder and to top it all off, the body, not yet cold in the ground, is stolen from its coffin without a trace.

When Siobhan starts suffering from terrifying, prophetic dreams and a collection of Satanic books are found in the doctor's closet, the investigation takes a paranormal turn and demonic forces they never knew existed come into play.

As Siobhan tries to familiarize herself with this unknown world, she is thrown off-balance by two completely different men - both of whom strangers from out of town. But can she trust her feelings? Can she trust them? Lies will unravel and secrets are revealed as a showdown with her father's killer creeps closer.

Just when she thinks nothing can surprise her anymore, she is granted a visit from Satan himself (he prefers to be called Lucifer, which has a nicer ring to it), who is not at all as she imagined and makes her a surprising offer.

Angels, demons and humans face off in this paranormal fantasy series that proves politics exists not only on Earth. 'Exogenesis' only shows the tip of the ice-berg. War is coming. An apocalyptic celestial war that will forever change the face of the Earth.
