Now available: “Kicker’s Journey” by Lois Cloarec Hart
by Ylva Publishing
The Ylva Publishing team is happy to announce that the revised version of Kicker's Journey by Lois Cloarec Hart has just been published as an e-book.
If you're looking for a great historical fiction to curl up with over the weekend - go no further. Here is what Kicker's Journey is about:
In 1899 two women from very different backgrounds are about to embark on a journey together - one that will take them from the Old World to the New, from the 19th century into the 20th, and from the comfort and familiarity of England to the rigours of Western Canada, where challenges await at every turn.
The journey begins simply for Kicker Stuart when she leaves her home village to take employment as hostler and farrier at Grindleshire Academy for Young Ladies. But when Kicker falls in love with a teacher, Madelyn Bristow, it radically alters the course of her tranquil life.
Together, the lovers flee the brutality of Madelyn's father and the prejudices of upper crust England in search of freedom to live, and love, as they choose. A journey as much of the heart and soul as of the body, it will find the lovers struggling against the expectations of gender, the oppression of class, and even, at times, each other.
What they find at the end of their journey is not a new Eden, but a land of hope and opportunity that offers them the chance to live out their most cherished dream - a life together.
Kicker's Journey is available from amazon as a DRM-free e-book. Smashwords, Bella Books and other platforms will follow soon.
The paperback will be available in November.
Enjoy the read.

Now available: “When The Clock Strikes Thirteen”
by Ylva Publishing
I am very happy to be able to announce the publication of When The Clock Strikes Thirteen, an anthology full of paranormal stories from wonderful authors such as:
- Lois Cloarec Hart: Midnight Messages
- L.T. Smith: Batteries Not Included
- Emma Weimann: Lost and Found
- Joan Arling: Chrysalis
- Diane Marina: Sisters of the Moon
- Erzabet Bishop: Wolf Moon
- R.G. Emanuelle: Love Bites
We have it all: Ghosts, vampires, werewolves, faeries... and it was a pleasure for me to collect and edit those wonderful stories with the help of Day Petersen.
My introdcution to the anthology gives you a glimpse of what to expect:
Fantasy is one of my favorite genres—if not my most favorite one. I love the thrill of the unknown, of the things and beings that (could) exist without most of us acknowledging their existence. When I went to Ireland a few years ago, I dreamed of meeting a faerie—and maybe I did without even knowing. In England, I feared and hoped to stumble across a White Lady, and in Edinburgh, I would have given everything to hear the drummer ghost of Edinburgh Castle.
Unfortunately, I didn’t. But I haven’t given up hope for the future.
Until then, I continue to dream and publish stories that portray a reality different from the one we experience every day.
For this anthology, I had a range of wonderful authors contributing their stories as well as a talented graphic artist and a meticulous editor.
You’ll find a variety of the otherworldly and supernatural that will keep you glued to your seat.
Enjoy the read and never stop dreaming…
You can buy When The Clock Strikes Thirteen at Smashwords and amazon.
It will also be available from Bella Books within the next few days.

In other news, I have a Smashwords author interview. Read it here .

Kobo: http://store.kobobooks.com/en-US/ebook/the-green-pill-one-hour-and-other-lesbian-stories
THE GREEN PILL (about 14,000 words): The year is 2022. A green pill has been developed that cures breast cancer, but in the huge majority of cases, a side effect reverses sexuality. Basically, straight people turn gay, and gay people turn straight. Marcia Brandon, whose marriage to Jim has faded into monotony, keeps waiting for her side effect to kick in, but it never seems to. Marcia is dismayed; she'd counted on the side effect to shake up her life. On the other hand is Byrony Russell, who hasn't told her husband, Griffin, that she experienced the green pill's most notorious side effect. She keeps hoping an antidote will hit the shelves, and she can have her idyllic, heterosexual life with Griffin back. Marcia and Byrony meet at a support group and become friends. And eventually, perhaps more.
ONE HOUR (about 24,500 words): English teacher Jessica Harmon and one of her students, seventeen-year-old Riley Jenkins, hide in a classroom closet while a gunman rampages through their high school. They're the only people in the room because it was Jessica's planning period, and Riley stopped by with concerns about a debate assignment. When the gunman finds them in the closet, they figure they're as good as dead. Except Jessica and Riley survive, without injury, their harrowing, surreal conversation with the gunman .
Their shared trauma and their guilt from failing to stop the gunman haunt Jessica and Riley and bring them close. They're not the same people they were before the shootings, and Jessica, who never had given as much as a second glance to a student, finds herself drawn to Riley.
"One Hour" is the story of how Jessica and Riley help each other through their unique situation. Do they ultimately find happiness and a future with each other?
THE NIGHT THEY DRANK WINE (about 5,000 words): Mallory and Vanessa are sisters-in-law and good friends. One night, they get together to gossip and drink wine. One thing leads to another, and the next morning finds them naked and in bed together. Will they ignore what happened or try to make some sense of it?
STAYING IN (about 3,200 words): Becky Wilson decides one day she's not leaving her condo again. Her unusual choice brings her backlash—and much more.
TOMMIE (about 4,300 words): Claire has a secret — her first love, Tommie, who died of leukemia twenty years ago, has been reincarnated. Kendall Paulson is nineteen years old, almost twenty, and has no idea who Tommie was. What Kendall does know, however, is that she likes Claire a lot. A heck of a lot. Is Kendall really Tommie? Either way, what does it mean for both women?

MY FAIR MAIDEN
What's a hero to do?
Bodhi arrives at a so small, it's barely on the map village with only three things in mind: getting out of the heat, having a decent meal, and a better drink. She's managed one of the three at the local tavern before she's approached by a gorgeous maiden. That, in itself isn't so unusual. Women are attracted to her on a regular basis.
What's odd is the behavior of the locals. Everyone is acting strangely, including the beautiful Gwen. It doesn't take Bodhi long to figure out something is terribly wrong in this seemingly peaceful, isolated village. The question is…what?
She's a hero, a woman with a sword, and she knows how to use it. But, what's a hero to do when no one will admit there's anything amiss, much less ask for help, not even the maiden in distress…
What's a virgin to do?
Gwendolyn is a proper, chaste maiden living in a small, remote village. Hers is a simple life, filled with back-breaking, mind-numbing chores.
That is, until an ogre appears, demanding a virgin offering by the next full moon. It's her bad luck that she's just the tender, young morsel the villagers are willing to serve up on a platter.
She tries everything she can to escape her fate, but finds herself out of options and out of time, doomed to be an offering for an ogre.
Then, along comes a stranger. She's tall, she's blonde, and she‘s a professional swordswoman. She's also stunning enough to make many a maiden swoon. Problem is, she's not at all the hero Gwendolyn imagined. She's cocky, brazen, and rude. She's also Gwen's last, best hope.
It's available through www.affinityebooks.com and Amazon.
