Fiction
| THE PACIFIC BETWEEN |
|
| A novel by Raymond K. Wong |
Praise for The Pacific Between:
A notable new novel.
— ForeWord Magazine
The
ups, downs, twists and turns of a two-minute roller-coaster ride are
nothing compared to the gamut of emotions Wong’s
characters experience in
his compelling novel … It leaves you laughing one minute and crying the
next, and in
between, awestruck by dead-ends that lead to a satisfying
finish.
— Joanne D. Kiggins, Cleveland.com (the Plain
Dealer)
The reader is rewarded with an incredible rush … With its dynamic plot,
complex characters and slow
revelation of the true nature of the web of
intimacies among the main characters, the book is a satisfying and memorable
read.
— Amy Brozio-Andrews, January Magazine
Born and raised in Hong Kong, Raymond K. Wong is a
professional actor and
has worked with Julianne Moore, Peter Falk, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Rob Marshall in feature films
and in TV and stage productions such as Roommates and Sex and the City. He studied creative writing at UCLA and edited at
Scholastic in New York. He is a movie critic at Actors Ink and has been published in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, the Asian-American
Writers Anthology, and Writers Post Journal. His essay, “The Truths about Rains and Floods,” was included in the
anthology Stories of Strength (Lulu Press, $15.95, 1-4116-5503-6) that benefits disaster relief charities and features over
100 other authors such as Orson Scott Card, Wil Wheaton and Robin Lee Hatcher. His website is www.raymondwong.com.

| SAVING EMMA |
|
| A novel by Cheryl Wright |
Emma Larkin was at her wits end.
Her murdered husband would be the death of her – literally.
If she didn’t find out what ‘they’ were looking for, and soon, things could get serious.
Gary Bedford was an off-duty undercover cop looking forward
to a relaxing break. Think again, Bedford!
Here are some reviews:
Rating: 4 Quills
It was nice to see a man fall in love with a woman and her
child, not just take the child because she was part of the package. The love scenes in this tale are tender, passionate, and
meaningful. Young Sally is a delight, stealing each scene she is in. My favorite part of the story would be not the main characters
themselves but Gary's huge family. Colorful and funny, loyal and protective of their own, this is the family anyone would
love to call their own. This is the way romantic suspense should be done!

Rating: 4 Angels
Saving Emma is a well-written, humorous, story about trust
and starting over again. I enjoyed the fast-paced dialogue and the funny quirks of many of the characters.

Rating:
Fans of warm characters and feisty women and suspense, will
love this heart-warming story. With a mix of humor, tender love and an interesting plot this reviewer hopes you’ll enjoy
Emma and Sally’s journey to happiness as much as she did.

Rating: Excellent!
“Saving Emma” has all of the qualities it takes
to touch each of your senses. It was bittersweet as I finally read the last paragraph; truly, I am going to miss all of the
new friends I made on my journey through helping to save Emma.

Place
ISBN: 1588513521 AmErica House
“When you live amidst beauty sometimes you don’t recognize discrimination
and, if you do, you prefer not to acknowledge it.”
A young journalist realizes that because she is half Mormon and half Protestant she is not suitable material
for love. She delves into her Mormon heritage and journals her way through prejudice into redemption. She learns to mend her
own life when she finds she cannot mend her world. This novel, set in Salt Lake City in the 50s, reveals not only complexities
of the heart but the secrets of what some consider a mysterious place and culture. http://carolynhowardjohnson.com

explores the little white lies and solemn truths that one charming, idiosyncratic
