A Dog in Brooklyn: an artworld adventure (Book 1 of Tiepolo's Greyhound) Have you ever loved a dog, a work of art or any part of Brooklyn past, present or yet to be discovered?  Call me Piccolo. So begins the tale of a young artist who just happens to be an Italian greyhound. Setting off on his first artworld adventure ,  Piccolo leaves his native Venice to solve the mystery of his father's disappearance in the City of York they call New. Eager to make art, he is soon thrown off his father's trail when a great American sculptor offers him a space in his Brooklyn studio. Duped by his own desire, Piccolo labors for neither fame nor fortune--until his baptism by the fire of a hot chili pepper ignites his career. Book 1 of Tiepolo's Greyhound “An appealing dog story, celebrating artistic pursuits… with a clear sense of whimsy, as canine characters enjoyably lap up wine, sing Frank Sinatra tunes, and yearn for romance.

  From the Wilderness to the Narrow Path: A Journey of Surrender and Course Correction Life is full of choices, but none are as important as the path we choose to follow. From the Wilderness to the Narrow Path: A Journey of Surrender and Course Correction  is a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of the two paths we all face: the wide path that leads to destruction and the narrow path that leads to eternal life. This book offers a fresh perspective on what it truly means to not conform to the pattern of this world and to seek God’s Kingdom and His righteousness. Drawing from her personal experiences of heartbreak and struggle, author Chastity Dawn confronts the false narrative that finding a good church equates with growing in one’s relationship with God. She does this by revealing how stepping away from organized religious activities led her to forge a deeper connection with God. Chastity Dawn’s writing is like a warm hug from a wise friend: candid, conversational, and 100% rel

Irresistible Grump

  Irresistible Grump  I shouldn't be the nanny for the sexy, older billionaire...but I am. My teenage fantasies came crashing down when I learned my celebrity crush was an arrogant jerk in real life. He actually got mad when I played with his adorable 4-year-old on a flight. But there’s nothing hotter than a protective dad with a chiseled, blue-eyed-bod. When he picked me to be his nanny, I knew I had to prove myself. But being around his bulging muscles and hearing that little voice call me “Mom” made the job more difficult than I thought. Next thing I knew, I was pushed up against a wall, with my legs wrapped around him. This action-movie hero might just be the real-life hero I didn’t know I needed.
