Random circumstances brought them together. Love made them family.

Hailey Kirby plans to spend a wonderful Christmas holiday at the Cedar

Hailey works in town as the children’s librarian, and under the pen
name of Lee Merriweather is secretly the author and illustrator of picture
books. Young children adore the stories of Charlie and his dog, Zeke,
including Regan, the niece of Nick Hensley, a rock star musician who’s
recently moved back to Granite Ridge. When he reaches out to the author to
seek permission to write songs to go with the stories, Hailey is forced to
confess who she is and the painful reason why she’s been hiding behind
a pseudonym.

As Hailey and Nick put their creative minds together, they form a
friendship that quickly grows to much more. Hailey learns to trust and
discovers some chances in life are worth taking.

About the Author

Judith Keim enjoyed her childhood and young-adult years in Elmira, New
York, and now makes her home in Boise, Idaho, with her husband and their two
dachshunds, Winston and Wally, and other members of her family.

While growing up, she was drawn to the idea of writing stories from a young
age. Books were always present, being read, ready to go back to the library,
or about to be discovered. All in her family shared information from the
books in general conversation, giving them a wealth of knowledge and vivid
imaginations.

A hybrid author who both has a publisher and self-publishes, Ms. Keim
writes heart-warming novels about women who face unexpected challenges, meet
them with strength, and find love and happiness along the way. Her
best-selling books are based, in part, on many of the places she’s lived or
visited and on the interesting people she’s met, creating believable
characters and realistic settings her many loyal readers love. Ms. Keim
loves to hear from her readers and appreciates their enthusiasm for her
stories.

Making the Switch Blitz

Kinklink, Book Two

Romance, Steamy Romance

Date Published: September 22, 2020

Kristin Meadows loves her nights at KinkLink. The club is her outlet to
release her desires and as a domme she anticipates the play — controlling
her sub, gaining their trust, their loyalty. She loves it all. So why in the
heck is she panting after her best friend’s husband’s brother? Yeah, the guy
equaled sex on a stick but he was no more a sub than she was, and two doms
don’t play. And to top it all off, the father she never knew she had, turns
out to be a thug and suddenly wants to spend quality time with his daughter?
Who needs a father figure now? All she’s trying to figure out is why she
can’t get Ryan Boynton out of her head!

Ryan Boynton is struggling with his role. Having been a sub the last years
and being pushed to his limits he realized the lie he’d been living all this
time. He was happy for his brother, he got the girl — and he wasn’t even
missing the sharing they used to play, but he did miss his brother’s wife’s
friend, the hot babe he fell for at their wedding. But there’s one problem.
Neither of them were subs . Neither of them were true doms. So what the hell
were they? All Ryan knew, is that it’s time to find out — and that there
will be a lot more switching going on.

Sometimes finding the love of your life is all about making a switch.

CAUTION: Alpha hero, bad-boy romance that’s utterly addictive and
outrageously satisfying.

is reciprocated. As the three work together on her case they become very
close. The twins introduce her to a world unknown to her with whips and
cuffs and crosses that have nothing to do with religion. As Jessa learns

Excerpt

CHAPTER ONE

Kristin

THE AIR IN her mother’s backyard was sticky for early
September. “I wrote you a poem,” Kristin’s mother, Doris, said. Kristin’s
nerves, shaky at best when she was near her mother, ramped into
overdrive.

Doris’ poems were lumps of her mother’s morality of
iambic pentameter. They all followed the theme that she feared Kristin, the
daughter she labored for eight hours to give birth to, then raised alone,
would be going straight to hell, unless she followed Doris’ dictums on how
to live her life.

Kristin scanned the lines her mother wrote, bracing
herself. Titled “Shifting Winds,” Doris compared the twists and turns of
life to soft, gusting and steady winds. How it was best to stay on a good
path and not let raging winds divert you from your goals. All in all, not as
judgmental as others had been – and Kristin shared little with her mother
about her love life or lack thereof.

What her mom didn’t know, was that she was a
card-carrying member of kinklink.com and that she planned to attend an event
that night.

The Match Disaster Tour

Romance, Women’s Fiction

Published: March 2020

Publisher: Lulu

This is a story about a middle-aged woman who recently got divorced and thought she was open to companionship. She was very apprehensive about opening her heart again after being hurt badly by her ex-husband. To her surprise, she met someone on Match.com that seemed like the man of her dreams. They had so much in common and really enjoyed each other’s company. He managed to convince her to be open to the possibility of falling in love again.

She ended up giving this man her heart only to find out that he wasn’t the man of her dreams at all. He wasn’t like her ex-husband but he had just as many issues. She found it difficult to be the woman that he needed her to be while not compromising her integrity and moral standards.

This story is told totally from her point of view. She is finally able to tell the love of her life everything that she wanted to say throughout their relationship. She is able to express her perspective on all the events that were occurring in their lives without feeling like she is being ungrateful for the good times but imagining the bad times.

She will take you through five years of her relationship. Will she figure out that she deserves so much better than how she was being treated? Or, will she talk herself into saving this relationship and giving her one true love another chance?

EXCERPT

We met on Match.com about a month after a short friendship with someone I met on ChristianMingle.com. Although, that situation didn’t end well, I thought I would give online dating one more try and boy was I glad I did. I met you. I was on Match.com one day and I noticed that you looked at my profile. I decided to say hi to you through the Match.com app. I was pretty shy about reaching out to guys that I didn’t know, but what did I have to lose? The only thing that could happen was that you didn’t say hi back. To my surprise you sent me a reply and it wasn’t just hi. We began to talk and things got interesting pretty quickly.

Initially, I didn’t know how things would end up because you were very blunt and to the point and I really wasn’t used to that. I would ask you how your day was and you would respond, “It sucked.” I thought to myself, this guy has a bleak outlook on life, but then one day when we were chatting online about your job, you made me laugh. I said to myself, maybe he’s not so bad after all. You actually had a sense of humor.

We talked frequently via the Match.com app for about 3 weeks. We talked about how many children we had and their ages. Between the two of us, we had 4 boys. You also told me that you had a daughter, that you raised, but she wasn’t biologically yours. I really found that honorable. You told me that your children lived with you, but it wasn’t because their mother passed away. This also impressed me. It definitely wasn’t as common for the man to have full custody of his children. You asked me about my ex-husband and if he was involved in my children’s life. At the time he wasn’t and you were very upset by that. You just couldn’t understand why he wasn’t an active participant in the children’s life. I had some of the same thoughts, so this was a sensitive subject for me.

One day we were chatting on the Match.com app and you told me that you had many more stories to tell me about work and the horrors of online dating, but they would be easier to tell me over the phone. I figured that was your way of hinting that you wanted my phone number, so I finally gave it to you. I remember the first time you texted me, I responded and then asked who I was talking to. You responded, “It’s Thomas. Didn’t your mama teach you not to talk to strangers.” That made me laugh. I liked that you made me laugh. We progressed from texting to talking on the phone, but it took about a week. During our first call, you explained why you took so long to call me. You told me that you had been sick and you didn’t want me to hear your voice like that. Our very first conversation lasted for over 2 hours.

You told me so many stories about the horrific experiences you had with online dating. They were so funny but disturbing at the same time. It was a good thing I met you before hearing those type of stories because your stories made me question the process of online dating. I asked you why you opted for online dating. You were a very handsome and intelligent guy. You had a successful career as an Engineer at a great company. You could probably get any girl you wanted. You told me it was because you didn’t hang out at the typical places that would allow you to meet someone and there was definitely nobody at your job who you be interested in dating.
