Author Tina Ruiz, who writes under the penname of Tina Griffith, releases her latest book, a novel of historical fiction titled 

A FRAME OF TIME:

 

A reviewer says that it “would make an incredible Christmas gift for any reader! This book is beautiful and a well written story containing both nonfictional and fictional details about one of our most beloved President's in American history, John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

 

“On November 22, 1963, Libby Gallant was in downtown Dallas, hoping to catch a glimpse of President John F. Kennedy. But instead of jumping for joy, she trembled with fear while she watched him die.

 

“Hours later, after several versions of the horrifying murder played out on TV, she realized that she had recorded more footage than anyone else. And as she fought her way through an immense panic attack, she decided to hide her home movie from the authorities.

 

“But what if, many years later, someone finds the hidden film? And what if the contents are so damaging that the government needs to destroy it or history would have to be rewritten?”

Acclaimed BRIDGE OF SIGHS AND DREAMS, by author Pamela Allegretto, is a World War II drama that will keep you on the edge of your seat:

Nazi-occupied Rome sets the stage for Bridge of Sighs and Dreams, where the lives of two women collide in an arena of deception, greed, and sacrifice.

Following an allied attack, Angelina Rosini flees to Rome from her bombed-out village and a ruthless Nazi officer bent on revenge. In Rome, the spirited portrait artist channels her creativity into the art of survival for herself and her young daughter. Unwilling to merely endure, and armed with ingenuity, wit, and unyielding optimism, she enters the shadow world of the Resistance where she zigzags through a labyrinth of compassionate allies and cunning spies.

Meanwhile, Lidia Corsini, Angelina's sister-in-law, quenches her lust for power and wealth by turning in Jews to the ruthless Nazi Police attaché with whom she has formed an alliance. Her spiral into immorality accelerates as swiftly as the Jewish population dwindles, and soon neither her husband nor her son is immune to her madness.

Once Angelina discovers the consequences of Lidia’s greed, she conspires to put an end to the treacheries; but in doing so, she becomes the target of Lidia’s most sinister plot.

Bridge of Sighs and Dreams is a story of betrayal, dignity, and purpose that highlights the brutality toward Italian citizens, under both Mussolini’s Fascist regime and the Nazi occupation, and illustrates the tenacity of the human spirit.

BRIDGE OF SIGHS AND DREAMS is available in ebook and paperback versions at all online bookstores worldwide at:

The last thing corporate-climbing Allison wants is a husband. Furious with Mama’s meddling, and a bit more interested in Jack than she wants to admit, Allison agrees to the scheme as long as Mama promises to search for a cure for her terminal illness.

A cross-country trip from Nevada to Ohio ensues, with a string of disastrous dates along the way, as the trio hunts for treatment and A Groom for Mama.
