Sarah Skipton knew that her granddaughters needed a drastic change in their lives, but would they be willing to accept her challenge?
To leave behind a successful career and home was a lot to ask of anyone. But Paige and Rebecca agreed to a short-term trial and headed for their childhood home of Skipton. There they would take over the family business and Sarah’s dreams for the old train station.
Soon the sisters find themselves embraced by the small town and caught up in the plans for Skipton Station’s future. New friendships are formed as the women become more involved in local affairs-from the town’s Christmas plans to the blow that pulls them into a longstanding feud between two families.

Insomnia
Insomnia Mary Widdicks
From the best-selling author of The Mermaid Asylum series comes the story of Cressida before Vee: dull and dreary, the empress over the sea of dirt and sand.
It's just a normal Tuesday morning in the sleepy fishing town of Silverside, Oregon.
The crabbers come early to check their traps. Every Tuesday just before dawn. Like clockwork. There’s no need for a blaring horn to disturb the peace because there isn’t another vessel for miles.
Just Cressida alone on the beach.
The sky crackles and the sea hums. The world goes quiet, just for a moment, like it’s afraid to draw even a single breath. The stillness is electrifying. But something isn’t right. Something is out of place. A sound. Out of place in the frozen dawn.
And it's beckoning her inside...

Sink: Old Man's Tale
Sink: Old Man's Tale Perrin Briar
A sinkhole is a natural phenomenon. It can happen anywhere, anytime. It drinks lakes dry, consumes jungles, and even demolishes entire mountains. You may have seen one in your street. But these things aren't lost. They've simply been moved. Things are forgotten on the surface all the time. Beneath the crust, they're always remembered.
It's just another day for unscrupulous developer Graham Turner when he breaks into an old man's home to steal his property deeds. But when he's sucked through a sinkhole into a forgotten world deep beneath the earth's surface, Graham and the old man must rely on each other if they are to survive and escape this dangerous new world and return to the surface.
Sink. A forgotten world. A lost world. But not for long.

SHIPS (preview, 99 cents to read the rest) Sue Hollister Barr
Veronica never dealt with her Asperger's till both framed for murder and threatened by an alien. Histus, the alien, is suffering from extreme sensory deprivation because he no longer has a body. His gas-giant home planet has been annihilated, and the only way to survive was to upload his consciousness into his crippled ship. He's barreling toward Earth, while Veronica…born with the proverbial silver spoon in her mouth…is fleeing across "fly-over" America with the pedal to the metal of her burgundy-upholstered Rolls. What absurd, wireless-tech errors by others lead to their meeting? And, incidentally, will they save the planet Earth?
A fun and quirky science fiction read!
Baby boomers dreaming of higher things? Oh yes, count me in. The real innovation in science fiction is a lot closer to home than we realize - among us. Sue Hollister Barr's Boomers of the Stars is just a small slice of a much large pie of magnificence we need right now. Don't miss it.
An unusual futuristic setting in an old people's home. To begin with I was as confused as the Altzheimer residents who are the central characters of the story. This was mainly because of the Japanese slang. But the story kept me on track. It held my attention because the action was from the point of view of 2 residents and the rather dodgy manager of the home. I liked that it focused on attitudes to an aging populus and the illnesses which often go alongside this. It's easy to read once you get over the Japanese slang. The characters are engaging and believable as is the futuristic world it's set in.
Sharp, layered and a rollicking ride from the first chapter, SHIPS by Sue Hollister Barr put me squarely in this unlikely heroine's shoes and left me wanting more.
Very interesting cover art, and love futuristic tales involving aliens...especially when I wrote about one particular shapeshifting alien that escapes from Area 51 in one of my books. I always love to see the interesting twists and turns other writers force their characters into to see how they deal with such obstacles.
