  • Pride and Precipitation

    Heather Horrocks

    language (Word Garden Press, Jan. 14, 2014)
    PG-RATED FUN that's been professionally edited. Pride and Precipitation is #1 of the Chick Flick Clique romantic comedy series and Book #2 is Regally Blonde. Written by USA Today Bestselling Author Heather Horrocks. PRIDE AND PRECIPITATION (Chick Flick Clique #1) Breezy Jones is crazy about the weather, rain or shine, which makes her job as the local television station’s meteorologist perfect. She’s even hoping the new buyers of her Aspen Grove station will make some positive changes. That’s before she meets the attractive new general manager, Noah Drake, who is determined to repackage everything—including Breezy’s down-home delivery and casual, girl-next-door appearance that seems too Pollyanna for him. He replaces her with a high-powered diva weathercaster and makes Breezy her off-screen assistant. With a flood of angry emails from the community, plummeting ratings, and incessant demands from the diva, it doesn’t take long for Noah to see which way the wind is blowing. Will the station survive the competitive clash between pride and precipitation? More importantly, can their blossoming attraction survive? This is a novella of about 170 pages. The paperback version will be available soon. NEW RELEASES: If you enjoyed this book, consider signing up for my new releases email list!

A fun, light trip through small-town news, this book pulled you into the story. With several fun side characters, the story left itself open for many other interlocked stories. With a fun plot and sweet characters, it's a refreshing bit of fun and sweet romance. This one made me smile and definitely made me laugh at several points. With a quick wit and some good conflict, the characters had me falling in love along with them. Definitely a good book to take on vacation or snuggle up on a cold winter night.

I am loving her foray into the paranormal realm with Moonchuckle Bay. I like the idea of a place where paranormal can live in peace, and in the open, while tourists think it is all part of the town's movie productions. … I found myself wishing Moonchuckle Bay was a real town, just for all of the funny gimmicks that they have for the tourists. I will definitely be on the lookout for more books in this series. Content: clean (some kissing, mild violence, smelly trolls)YOU MUST READ!! AND I MUST RE-READ!! (Kindle Customer) I love Heather Horrocks, and this book is no exception, I like that you can see where its going without it being completely predictable. Such a great story line, I look forward to hearing more about these townsmonsters :) in Moonchuckle Bay.REVIEW OF BAH, HUMBUG (Christmas Street Romantic Comedy Christmas Novella #1): “This isn't a book; it’s magic. What could be a sappy Christmas story turns into a wonderful, magical, bring-the-family-together Christmas story. I wasn't merely reading Lexi and Kyle's story, I was there with them, being part of their story. I came up for breath only when I was done with the book (I read it at one sitting).

  • Suzie Q-That-Stands-for-Wonderful: An I Am Able Fable

    Amelia Reid, Barbara Benson, Heather Horrocks

    eBook (Word Garden Press, April 28, 2016)
    Suzie Q-That-Stands-for-WonderfulThe first I Am Able Fable is for everyone with a dream burning in their heart, and is about going for what brings you joy — no matter what anyone else says. Suzie Q-That-Stands-for-Wonderful loves to dance with her little dog Henrietta — except she wishes she could dance if anyone else is watching. Her three friends want to help, so Shirley asks, “Surely you must take lessons to be a real dancer,” and Penny wonders “But can you make any money dancing?” and Frank states, “Frankly, my dear, I think you should do something else entirely.” And since surely they must know better than she does, she follows their advice, first beginning lessons and then moving on to other things entirely. Will the ensuing adventures — involving lifeguards, apples, and gorillas in the zoo — bring her closer to her dream? Or make her give up dancing entirely?NOTE ON FINDING THE ENLARGED POP-UP TEXT: If you double-tap on the pages, the text will pop up larger so it's easier to read on mobile devices. You have to tap on the "sweet spot" which is usually almost in the middle and barely toward the right. Once you find it, that's where you tap on each of the pages.(Unfortunately, on some pages you may have to search for the "sweet spot" --- I found that spot to be in several places depending on the page. The center was the most common, but it could also be found toward the upper left corner and toward the upper right corner.and someplace else entirely.
  • Ghosts Along the Bayou: Tales of Haunted Places in Southwestern Louisiana.

    Christine K. Word, Jeff Fuchs

    Hardcover (Word Press, Jan. 1, 1988)
    What mystery of the bayouland is yet unexplored? What secrets of the swamp whisper in the -wind and await discovery? What are the ghosts along the bayou? A young girl appears at a bridge near Sunset, demanding the attention of passers-by, only to disappear again. Balls of light herald the arrival of galloping horses, invisible to the eye. And water douses an old lady in Grand Prairie, while the spirit of a long-dead Frenchman claims responsibility through a psychic. Acadiana is full of the presence of the spiritual world-from poltergeists to haunts; from Cajun feu follets to apparitions; and from disembodied voices to the sounds of battles fought long ago. The places they haunt vary from plantation homes to Cajun cottages; mobile homes to cane fields; from a rectory to a bridge; from new houses to places of business. And the people who have encountered them range from priests to psychics; carpenters to executives; medical professionals to professors. This book is not an attempt to prove or disprove the existence of ghosts and haunted houses. It is instead an unembellished account of the strange tales told by the people of Acadiana who have encountered Ghosts along the Bayou. Cover graphics by "Cat" Landry
