Imagine finding out you could never have a baby with the man you love…

Expat American Laney Halliwell finds out the hard way when Niklas tells her he had a vasectomy before they met and isn’t interested in reversing it. Why should he? They’ve got his kids from his first marriage and an enviable life in Stockholm.

What if you fell in love in the most unexpected way…?

But Laney wants more. So when a friend suggests she look into an alternative sperm bank in Copenhagen to find a potential father for her baby, things don’t go exactly as planned. Especially when Laney meets Mads and finds herself falling in love.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write Maybe Baby?

Kim Golden: It started with a conversation I had with a friend who was considering going to a fertility clinic and using a sperm donor.

Break These Chains is the inspirational true story of the journey of Dawn L. Jackson. Despite growing up economically disadvantaged, she served honorably in the United States Army. She went on to graduate from Cheyney University of Pennsylvania and subsequently from Villanova University School of Law.

Ms. Jackson describes in detail her experience with battling the untreated severe depression associated with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Her PTSD caused her to lose her license to practice law, and she became homeless.

She let her creator use her as a voice for those whose voices would otherwise go unheard. Dawn’s story will make you laugh, cry, stand up and cheer, and above all else, be inspired.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write Break These Chains?

Dawn L. Jackson: I was inspired to write Break These Chains by my maternal grandmother. Because she lived in the South growing up, she did not attend school. Instead, she stayed home to help her mother sharecrop while her brothers and sisters went to school. As a result, she could neither read nor write.

When a promising country music singer on the verge of stardom mysteriously dies after undergoing a routine medical procedure, Kate Katelinson, an investigative reporter for the Nashville Herald, becomes personally tied to the case.

Armed with only her investigative instincts and an unlikely alliance of friends, the reporter enters a terrifying game of cat-and-mouse with a mastermind more powerful than she could have ever anticipated.

In her debut novel Nashville Mercy, Dr. M. Maitland DeLand takes readers through a rollercoaster ride of suspense while touching upon some of the most pressing social and healthcare issues of the 21st century.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write Nashville Mercy?

M. Maitland DeLand: Well, I started by writing children’s books, and I used my medical knowledge as a physician to create books that were medically accurate, and my experience as an oncologist, dealing with young children, to create books that were easy for children to understand and not scary but honest.
