    Eileen Shea

    Paperback (Page Publishing, Inc., Nov. 15, 2018)
    Shep and the Momma Mongoose is the first in a planned series of children's books focused on the shared adventures of Shep, a Chihuahua-Terrier mix, and his human mother Eileen. These adventures began in Hawaii where Shep and Eileen found each other at the Hawaii Humane Society. This first book focuses on an incident that occurred early in their life together when Shep fist discovered what a mongoose was and learned that a mother's love is the same no matter what kind of creature you are. Shep likes hearing this story periodically because it reminds him of the two years he and Eileen lived in Hawaii and because it was the first time that Shep and Eileen experienced something exciting and new together! Both Shep and Eileen hope that you too will enjoy their first adventure and they look forward to sharing more stories of their life together which has taken them from Hawaii, through National Parks and cities across the country to North Carolina.

  • The Violin Players

    Eileen Bluestone Sherman

    Paperback (The Jewish Publication Society, Dec. 1, 2020)
    Smart and savvy high school junior Melissa Jensen is unprepared when life takes a turn for the seemingly tragic: her father accepts a teaching assignment in a small town in the Midwest, far from her home and friends (and bagels) in New York City. She’s too old to throw a tantrum, and her father’s offer of letting her live in New York with her grandparents is simply not an option. No way will she follow their strict Orthodox Jewish rules when her own parents didn’t even make her go to Hebrew school. Melissa’s reluctant arrival in Henryville brings some surprises. To her amazement the college town offers more than she ever anticipated, including a fantastic school orchestra and the chance to star in the school play, not to mention her immediate popularity with the “coolest kids in school.” And then there’s Daniel Goodman, the remarkable boy who shares Melissa’s passion for acting and playing the violin. Everything seems too good to be true, until Melissa comes across something she has never experienced before—antisemitism. No one in the school suspects she is Jewish, but when Daniel is taunted by a bigoted schoolmate, Melissa must make a decision. Her choice to speak out should be clear-cut, but life is never that simple. The Violin Players examines the price we pay when bigotry is met with silence.
  • Dragon Love

    Eileen Sheehan

    eBook (Earth Wise Books, Feb. 14, 2018)
    Sparks fly, secrets are revealed, and perilous adventures begin when Chloe helps Tristan escape.While on mission from inner-earth to the earth's surface, the evil subterranean meta-naturals intercepted Tristan's vessel. Taken to a laboratory run by a mad scientist, he is sedated and forced to participate in testings on himself and genetic experimentation.In the meantime...Private Investigator, Chloe Kennsington, in filtrates the laboratory while on a missing persons's case. When she discovers Tristan, the chemistry between them is profound. Here's what a few readers are saying..."Some books deserve more than the five stars allowed, and to me this was one of them. I actually read this book twice before writing this review. There was so many unexpected characters throughout this story that every time I turned another page I was caught up in it once again. This was a book that would surely entertain for hours..." "This book is a Dragon shifter romance...The plot was very different and I noticed mention of vampires from another of this authors book so that was interesting how she incorporated them together. (You dont have to read the other books) All in all a really great read with such imagination! I dont know how she comes up with some of the thing she does but it's amazing!""This book was NOTHING like what I expected. It is pure science fiction and fantasy in one. We meet humanoids from the earth surface, meta-humanoids, and inner-earth humanoids. It was truly a book that held so many unexpected things that I am going to have to read it a second time. I cannot think of a book that I have written a review about that I said I needed to read it again. We get to visit different types of shifters from wolves, to dragons, to vampires in this book. Eileen Sheehan definitely showed a devious side in this book with the things that happens, but at the same time, you see that romantic side show up in some of the things that happen. Enjoy the book. I look forward to rereading it again very soon!"

  • The Violin Players

    Eileen Bluestone Sherman

    Audiobook (Eileen Bluestone Sherman, May 25, 2020)
    Savvy New Yorker, 15-year-old Melissa Jensen, suddenly finds herself a “stranger in a strange new land,” when her father accepts a temporary (seven months to be exact) teaching assignment in a small college town in the Midwest, tearing her away from her friends in Manhattan. How inconvenient! She was supposed to be the lead in her school play, captain of the debate team, and first violinist in the school orchestra. Instead, she must forfeit her Junior year glory and venture out to an obscure town in “the middle of nowhere.” Her father’s offer of letting her live in New York with her grandparents is equally unappealing. No way will she follow their strict, Orthodox Jewish rules. Incredibly, her new school is filled with surprises! First, there’s her new drama teacher, a former Broadway actor. And who would have guessed that her new orchestra would be every bit as good or maybe even better than hers in New York. And what about that remarkable boy, named Daniel Goodman (the one with those dreamy eyes), who shares Melissa’s passion for playing the violin? Meanwhile, the coolest kids at school treat her like a celebrity for simply having grown up in the “Big Apple.” Everything seems too good to be true, until Melissa comes across something she never experienced - antisemitism. Sure, she knows it exists everywhere…including New York City. But never in her neighborhood! No one in Henryville suspects that she is Jewish, but when Daniel, the only known Jewish student in school, is bullied by a bigoted star of the football team, Melissa must make a choice. Her decision should be clear-cut, but life is never that simple. The Violin Players examines the price paid when prejudice goes unchecked.
