One boy. One girl. One mission to protect Earth from its previous occupants. Where will you live if they fail? Meet the girl, Daniela Rose Cavanaugh, a preteen modern-day Indiana Jones, who must come to terms with her destiny, avoid getting committed to the psychiatric ward, endure nightmares about a mysterious boy, deal with the mean girls at school, and save the world by hunting through the past to uncover clues hidden before the dawn of time. Easy, right? It would be, if she wasn't just an awkward thirteen-year-old girl with knobby knees, curly hair, brown skin, and nosebleeds. She's certainly no one special in the eyes of her classmates, who either bully or remain indifferent to her, and until now, her only quests in life have been to become the youngest medical student at her dream school and to find a kindred spirit. However, her destiny has already been decided, and it doesn't include friendship bracelets. After her thirteenth birthday, Daniela must juggle going to school, caring for a sick father and solving an ancient puzzle that will protect her friends - and enemies - from a dark, biblical-sized force that seeks to eradicate humans from Earth. Will Daniela give up and stop fighting for the kindred spirit her heart is destined for - leaving him unprotected and doomed to certain death - or will she rise to the challenge and meet her destiny head-on?

OUTLANDER and DOWNTON ABBEY fans will adore LITTLE PEACH LIES—a PG historical (time-travel) romance and the ninth installment of the ORPHAN DREAMER SAGA set against the backdrop of Scotland's famed Saint Andrews University and the Queen of England's Scotland residence, Palace of Holyroodhouse. Charlotte Cairstine McDonald, the soon-to-be Duchess of the Isles of Caithness, is about to learn that even in 1967, it's dangerous to be born a royal. Especially if that royal-a.k.a. Charlotte-is hiding a secret ... one that could end her engagement to a dreamy English duke. While alone on Saint Andrew's seaside bluff, Charlotte drifts into sleep and is transported from her 1960's reality to 1567 Scotland—an era when her secret would have guaranteed a trip to the executioner's dungeon. Charlotte encounters her great ancestor, Queen Mary of Scotland, who sounds a dire warning to her future heiress. But will Charlotte solve the clue before she loses her head no differently than Queen Mary? The stakes are much higher than Charlotte realizes-beyond her stained reputation or abandonment by the royal family. History might be irreparably changed. Even if Charlotte survives the Dark Ages, a real and present threat still exists that can derail the future Orphan Dreamer's mission to help humanity and find her essential sidekick-her kindred-spirit Emmaline, Charlotte's future daughter. Brew your favorite tea and snuggle up with a historical (time-travel) romance: LITTLE PEACH LIES, the fifth short story (episode nine) in the Orphan Dreamer Saga.

Her family was to be her legacy until an angry mob murdered her only son. North Carolina farm owner Gertrude Smith had dreamed of leaving a legacy-raising hardworking and socially-conscious children who would parent her grandchildren to become people who would change the world for the better. But hope faded when her unmarried son died tragically in the racially charged 1960s-then completely vanished when her only surviving child, a daughter, remained childless after marriage for twenty years. That is, until Gertrude received a phone call from her forty-year-old daughter: "Momma, next summer you're going to become a grandmother! And not to just any baby-but one with a divine mission." A special child. A dreamer. A baby girl. But will another tragedy strike and bury Gertrude's dreams for an eternity, taking with it the seedling of her legacy, erasing the stories of her ancestors, and stopping a quiet Southern woman from leaving her mark on America-and maybe even the world?
