Potpourri of Goodness

If you don't have this book yet, grab it now! 
4.8 stars out of 5 with 78 reviews... Melissa Maygrove's debut story is one excellent story about a young woman, Rebecca, who gets stranded by her wagon train going west and is rescued by a young (hot) cowboy, Seth.

Get it now for KindleNook




When a young writer is kidnapped by a man who can't be seen, her only hope of escape rests on the one London cop who believes in ghosts.

On a cold, white, before-Christmas day, an assassin completes a job only to be pursued by police. 

Dodging through crowded city streets, the assassin nabs a young woman for cover.

Celia Wight, a reclusive American writer is shopping between engagements during a book tour. When a knife is pressed against her back, she loses her tenuous grasp on her carefully controlled existence. 

Assigned to the homicide case, Detective Alban Thain, of the Metropolitan Police, suspects an assassin he calls the Wraith. The problem is, only Thain believes the assassin exists. Disregarding the consequences, Thain, who is the only one who believes there is a connection between the murder and the kidnapping, will do whatever it takes to exploit the Wraith’s first and only mistake: the kidnapping of an innocent bystander—if she is innocent.




Available now in ebook and soft cover on Amazon.

  1. Lol! A building permit for the laundry pile is the best description I've ever heard! Congrats on getting it down. Sorry to hear about the furnace. That's a pain, but at least your hubs is handy and can help. And yay to getting all the posts done. Sounds like you're on a roll!

  2. Congratulations, Lisa!!
    Glad you got control of the laundry. Building permits for those are tough to acquire.

  3. Books

    "Young hot cowboy" to the rescue. I can imagine.

    Assassin nabbing a young woman.

    Wish I had time to read all these intriguing stories.

    Congrats to the authors and wishing them much success in the sales department.

  6. The laundry pile thing made me laugh. Glad you were able to get the furnace working again. It's way too cold to be without heat. Congrats on your upcoming book release and thanks for the new books alert! I'll go check them out. Happy weekend!

  8. Oh, Elizabeth, I am so stealing the "laundry pile needs a building permit" line (especially today). Priceless.

    Have a great weekend!

  16. Haha! I know that feeling when the laundry backs up! Glad you caught up, Elizabeth. It's so much fun to see the books of IWSG writers being reviewed. Congrats, Lisa! And to the other authors! Thanks for all the good reviews, Elizabeth!

  17. Congrats, Lisa! Sounds like a cool premise!

    My laundry pile doesn't need a building permit, but at this point I may just be better off burning it all and buying new clothes. Better that than burning out my laundry machine.

  18. Este año como cada año, nuestro tren parara en alguna estación, depende de cada uno de nosotros dejar ir a la tristezas, miedos, frustraciones, malos momentos, desamor. Agradece a cada uno de ellos.. su compañía y sus enseñanzas, aunque hayan sido dolorosas, déjalos ir, déjalos bajar de este tren. Deseo que en esta parada, a tu tren suban miles de bendiciones, sueños alcanzables, amor, abundancia, fuerza y determinación para seguir tu viaje.
    Hoy en mi vagón quedaran puestos desocupados y espero te sientes a mi lado para compartir junt@s este nuevo viaje. FELIZ NUEVO COMIENZO EN ESTE AÑO 2015!!!

  20. I have a copy of Come Back. The Seventh Man looks so good.

    I hate piled up laundry. I try to do some every day.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I have Come Back on my kindle. I need to bump it up my TBR. And The Seventh Man sounds great!

    I was proud of myself for doing all the laundry a few days ago, however, I just walked by the basket and it's half full. How does that happen with only two of us?

    Good luck with your release. Let me know if you want me to post anything on my blog about it.

  22. Laundry is a big accomplishment...and you've reminded me that I'm behind on mine! So many great books out. Right now I'm just focusing on reading the books of all the nice bloggers who supported me on my blog tour, plus the stuff my fellow Simon & Schuster authors are reading. All other books have to stay off my radar for the rest of the year, unfortunately.

  23. Yay for no more laundry pile building permits!

    And I guess I'm a little late, but I am gifting you with another Very Inspiring Blogger award! http://tyreanswritingspot.blogspot.com/2015/02/wow-very-inspiring-blogger-award.html
