Eighteen-year-old Jordan Conway has always wanted to help people, but helping seven archangels to achieve their divine duty was never quite what he had in mind…

When Jordan is entrusted by the head nun of his orphanage to deliver a mysterious backpack to a New York City address, he comes unexpectedly face-to-face with Archangel Gabriel. Their acquaintance fast uncovers a labyrinth of secrets that connect Jordan’s once-normal life to an ancient heavenly prophecy. Now, he must help Gabriel to reunite the archangels before evil forces grow too strong.

Soon, Jordan and Gabriel find themselves on a divine quest across the globe, while deep in the pits of Hell, Satan plots his return to earth. To gain control, however, Satan needs the powerful prophetic objects locked safe inside Jordan’s backpack-and the devil will stop at nothing to get what he wants.

With that notion threatening his only family and the safety of his newfound friends, Jordan must do whatever it takes to protect the ones he loves and help the archangels succeed. If that means sacrificing all he thought he knew to go to war with the devil himself? Bring it on.

World-renowned singer Aubrey Gray is finally free after spending the last seven years earning money to pay for her sister’s hospital bills. When she announces her early retirement and leaves Los Angeles in the rearview, she expects some fans will be disappointed. She can handle that.

Years later, after being banished from the imperial city of Gobe, Yuki returns on the emperor’s request with the hopes of restoring her family’s dojo. But when Yuki’s dreams are seemingly dashed after tragedy strikes, she is forced to face the unsettling truth behind her banishment.

On the verge of death, Yuki’s life becomes intertwined with the dragon god, Ryu, and together they must fight to save the mortal realm from Izanami, the ruler of the land of the dead. Caught between living as a mortal or a goddess, Yuki must fight to write her own mythology before the gods do it for her.

Woven Song weaves Asian mythology into an epic tale of love and loss, of loyalty and betrayal — where love is as soft as a lullaby, secrets are currency for the wicked, and every friend might be a foe.

Blog Blitz: Far From Home – T.A. Williams

ramblingmads


The secrets of the past will unlock her future…

Working in the fast-paced foreign exchange market in Canary Wharf, Amy never expected her job to drive her to collapse. With her doctor advising she take a month off work, when Amy receives a
solicitor’s letter informing her of a surprise inheritance in Italy, the timing couldn’t be more perfect.
But who on earth has left her a house in the sleepy Tuscan hills?

As she gets to know the town and its inhabitants, Amy discovers more about the mysterious man who named her in his will. Shocking family secrets come to light, leaving Amy questioning the life she knew.

The town of Sant’Antonio holds more than just secrets. Here, Amy meets Adam, a renowned TV journalist whose documentaries take him to dangerous places. But as their attraction grows, so do
Amy’s worries. Her life is in England, while Adam’s is untethered and under constant threat…

An emotional, heartwarming love story full of family drama and quirky locals.

Purchase 


I’m a man. And a pretty old man as well. I did languages at university a long time ago
and then lived and worked in France and Switzerland before going to Italy for seven years as a teacher of English. My Italian wife and I then came back to the UK with our little daughter (now long-since grown up) where I ran a big English language school for many years. We now live in a sleepy little village in Devonshire.

I’ve been writing almost all my life but it was only ten years ago that I finally managed to find a publisher who liked my work enough to offer me my first contract.
The fact that I am now writing escapist romance is something I still find hard to explain. My early books were thrillers and historical novels and I now also write cozy crime, but my first love has always been romance. Maybe it’s because there are so many horrible things happening in the world today that I feel I need to do my best to provide something to cheer my readers up. My books provide escapism to some gorgeous locations and descriptions of food to make you drool.

Website Twitter Facebook

My thoughts: I always enjoy this author’s books, and they always make me a) hungry and b) want a Labrador.

This book is no exception, there’s two delightful Labs in this book, Max and Coco, and lots of delicious Italian food. As Amy looks into who left her a beautiful, if somewhat dilapidated house in the Tuscan town of Sant’Antonio, near Pisa.

As she learns more about this mysterious legacy and gets the house remodelled, with a very useful plumber, builder and electrician. It helps she speaks fluent Italian as her mother and grandparents came from the country.

While there, she makes lots of friends, including the delightful Labrador, Max, and his sister Coco, and meets some ex pats, including handsome Canadian filmmaker Adam. Unfortunately just as things are beginning, he has to travel to Brazil to make a documentary. Then he goes missing.

Amy is torn between staying in Italy, in the house she’s had renovated, surrounded by her new friends, or returning to her life, and job, in London. Now I know what I would choose, if I was in Amy’s shoes.

This was a really enjoyable story and I loved how Amy found friendship, family and happiness in beautiful Italy, how all sorts of secrets came out and how sweet her relationship with Adam (and more importantly Max) developed. Truly delightful read, enjoy with your favourite tipple or a mug of tea! And snacks, you will need snacks.
