That Catskill Summer (Lived-In Love, book #1) by Bart Charlow


  

That Catskill Summer 
(Lived-In Love, book #1) 
By Bart Charlow



He wrote the book he lived. Now she wants to rewrite the ending.

For fans of the 1960s Catskills era of Dirty Dancing, this is a very different kind of love story.

Author Aaron Ben-Ami’s steamy novel, based on a failed youthful love affair in the "Summer of Love" Borscht Belt, is a sensation. Love was easy to come by in the resort culture of the early sexual revolution, but not so easy to keep. Now, as his story is being made into a movie starring Isobel “Izzy” Sandler, the past and present are about to collide.

Ironically, it was a chance meeting with Izzy that inspired Aaron to write the book in the first place—she was his muse. But as they grow close during filming, Izzy discovers the raw truth behind the fiction. She is the granddaughter of Elyse, the real woman who modeled for the novel’s lead—and Aaron's greatest "what if".

Set against the richly textured backdrop of a disappearing American era, That Catskill Summer is a story of what we miss in the moment and what stays with us long after. It is a journey through the humor, the heat, and the heartbreak of youth, told through the reflective eyes of someone who survived it.

Perfect for readers of emotionally rich, time-layered fiction who value reflection over resolution – and those who believe that a single summer can define a lifetime.

Doesn' this book sound absolutely amazing? You can find your copy here and the paperback is available on B&N.

Lucie Dumas
By Katherine Mezzacappa


London, 1871: Lucie Dumas of Lyon has accepted a stipend from her former lover and his wife, on condition that she never returns to France; she will never see her young son again. As the money proves inadequate, Lucie turns to prostitution to live, joining the ranks of countless girls from continental Europe who'd come to London in the hope of work in domestic service.


Escaping a Covent Garden brothel for a Magdalen penitentiary, Lucie finds only another form of incarceration and thus descends to the streets, where she is picked up by the author Samuel Butler, who sets her up in her own establishment and visits her once a week for the next two decades. But for many years she does not even know his name.


Based on true events.

Another Soul Saved by John Anthony Miller



Another Soul Saved 
By John Anthony Miller


Publication Date: April 1, 2026
Publisher: Independent
Pages: 415
Genre: Historical Fiction

Vienna, 1941

Monika Graf, the wife of a wealthy Austrian military commander, steals two Jewish girls from the Nazis—a crime often punishable by death. With soldiers in rapid pursuit, a homeless Jew named Janik, a mysterious man who lurks in the shadows, helps her escape.

Unable to have children of her own, she finds a new purpose in life—rescuing Jewish children from the horrendous Nazi regime. She asks the Swiss for help, trading military secrets she gleans from her husband for the lives of Jewish children. With Janik’s continued support, she also enlists Father Christoff, a priest at St. Stephen's Cathedral coping with unexpected emotions and doubting his commitment to God. Monika quickly forms bonds that can’t be broken, feelings exposed she never knew existed. 

Relentlessly pursued by Gestapo Captain Gustav Kramer, Monika combats continuing risk to her clandestine operation. When her husband, a rabid Nazi, returns from the battlefield severely wounded, she gets caught in a cage that she can’t crawl out of.

Wrought with danger, riddled with romance, Another Soul Saved shows humanity at both its best and worst in a classic struggle of good versus evil.

Excerpt

Monika eyed the man in the doorway, mid-thirties with dark hair and eyes. He must be a Jew. He would be in the military if he weren’t. 

“Hurry,” he urged. “Before they see you.”

She didn’t hesitate. “Inside, girls.” 

“This way,” the man said as he closed the door. 

Monika was wary. No one could be trusted—not in Vienna. But she had little choice. “Thank you,” she said, wondering how he knew they were running from the soldiers.

“Don’t be afraid,” he said.  

He seemed like a good man, and her instincts rarely failed her. “Why did you help us?” 

“We must help each other,” he said. “Or we’ll never survive.”

Broad stairs sprawled across most of the vestibule, leading to a second-floor apartment. He brought them through a skinny passage along the wall that led to an alcove under the steps. A narrow mattress lay on the floor, two threadbare blankets and a small pillow resting on it.

“We’ll hide here,” he said.

Monika eyed the cramped space. “Is this where you live?” 

He nodded, put a finger to his lips, and motioned her under the stairs with the children. “Be quiet so no one hears,” he said. “The soldiers may come to the door.”

Monika sat beside the girls and wrapped her arms around them. “Please be quiet,” she whispered. 

“We will,” Hedy promised as Ruth nodded.

The man sat beside them, and they huddled together.

Monika felt the girls trembling, their lives lived in fear. She would protect them, take care of them, do whatever was needed. Seconds passed, ticking by slowly, their hearts racing. They could hear faint voices from the street, but couldn’t tell what words were said. 

The door opened abruptly, squeaking on its hinges. A set of footsteps stomped on the vestibule tiled floor, followed by another. Then it was quiet.

Monika’s heart thumped against her chest. Whoever came in hadn’t climbed the stairs. The man who helped her cringed and then nodded, acknowledging what she suspected. It had to be the soldiers. It could be no one else. They stood meters away, neither speaking, waiting for a noise or word that was carelessly uttered.

She pulled the girls close, sweat dotting the back of her neck. She could hear quick breaths, their little hearts pounding.

Seconds passed, seeming an eternity. It was eerily quiet. Two adults and two children separated from two Nazis by only a set of stairs.

“No one is here,” a soldier said.

They left, the door closing behind them.

The man nudged Monika, his finger to his lips. They waited, making no sounds, her arms around the children, so young and vulnerable. After several minutes passed, and they saw or heard no sign of the soldiers, he quietly rose. “I will check,” he whispered.

“Be careful,” she hissed.

He tiptoed to the door, cracked it open, and peeked out. A moment later, he returned.

“Did you see them?” she asked, her heart still racing.

“I did,” he said. “They’re down the street in front of the butcher shop, questioning those who pass. They don’t know where you went. We’ll wait a few more minutes, and then I’ll check again.”

Monika breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank you so much.”

He shrugged. “You would do the same for me.”

She paused, surprised by what he said. How could he have sensed that she would have helped him? “Who are you?” she asked.

“Janik Stern,” he replied.

“I’m Monika Graf,” she said. “And the children are Hedy and Ruth.”

“Hello, Hedy and Ruth.” 

They smiled. “We’re cold,” Hedy said.

“Take this blanket,” he said, wrapping it around them. “It’ll keep you warm until it’s time to leave.”

Monika studied Janik, goodness oozing from every pore. “How did you know to help us?” 

“I was in the line at the emigration center,” he said. “I fled when the man was shot. You weren’t far behind me, stealing the little girls away.”

She knew then that she could trust him. He was a Jew running from demons just as she was.

“Why not wait for your visa?” she asked. “You weren’t in any danger. The girls were.”

“The man the Nazis killed knew secrets the soldiers don’t tell,” he said.

“But he told you?”

He nodded. “And the others. A soldier tried to stop him. He ran away, and they killed him.”

“Whatever he said must have been bad if you ran away, too,” she said, not sure she wanted to know.

“It was bad,” he said. “Worse than most can imagine.”

She studied him closely, searching his soul. He had a kind face with sad eyes that failed to hide a muted pain. She wondered where it came from.

“You may not believe me,” he continued. “No one else would either.”

“I might,” she said, wavering. 

He smiled once he knew she trusted him. “I will tell you everything,” he said. He nodded to the children. “But not now.”

She understood. He didn’t want to frighten them more than they already were. “When will you tell me?” 

“Whenever you like,” he said. He waved his arm around the vestibule, again flashing a smile. “You know where to find me. This is where I live.”

She eyed the cramped space, wondering what drove him there. Maybe the story lived in his eyes—the sadness he couldn’t shake. She noticed a wooden toolbox against the wall. “Are you a carpenter?”

He shrugged. “I can be.”

She wasn’t sure what he meant, but she didn’t pry. She suspected they would be friends, but wondered if it was wise. It was risky in a world that hated Jews. But she wasn’t afraid. She never had been. “I live only a block or two away.”

“I’ll tell you more when the little ones aren’t here,” he said. “If you’re sure you want to know.”

“I do,” she said.

“It isn’t easy,” he said. 

“It hasn’t been for years,” she said, wondering what his life had been like.

“No, not for me,” he said softly. “Not for many. It’s hell with no chance of heaven. Most just don’t know.”

She wanted to hear his story, to know the source of his pain. But it wasn’t the time. Not now.

He got up and went to the door. He cracked it open slowly and peeked out. After a moment had passed, the door closed and he came back. 

“The soldiers are gone.”

Book Review: Infidel: The Daughters of Aragon (Six Tudor Queens) by Nicola Harris

 



Infidel: The Daughters of Aragon 
(Six Tudor Queens)
By Nicola Harris


Born in the glittering courts of Castile and Aragon and forged in the shadow of war, Catalina de Aragón grows up surrounded by queens, rebels, and explorers. She is her mother’s last daughter, the final jewel of a dynasty built on conquest and faith, and the one child Isabella of Castile cannot bear to lose.

But destiny has already claimed Catalina.

Promised to Prince Arthur of England since childhood, she is raised to bind kingdoms, soothe old wounds, and carry the hopes of an empire across the sea. Yet, Spain fractures under rebellion, grief, and the ruthless zeal of its own rulers.

From the burning streets of Granada to the storm lashed Bay of Biscay, Catalina and her sisters must navigate a treacherous path shaped by ambition, betrayal, and the dangerous love of men who fear the power of queens. She learns to read cyphers, to read hearts, and to stand unbroken even as her childhood is stripped from her piece by piece.

And when she finally sails for England armed with her mother’s lessons, her father’s steel, and the ghosts of the Alhambra at her back, Catalina steps into her fate not as a girl, but as a force.

A princess.
A survivor.
A daughter of Aragon.

Infidel is the story of a young woman raised for greatness and destined to reshape the fate of nations. This is Catalina, as she has never been seen before. She is fierce, vulnerable, and unforgettable.

A sweeping, intimate portrait of sisterhood, survival, and the making of a dynasty, Infidel reveals the hidden lives of a woman whose courage shaped the Tudor world.



⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I went in expecting a stately procession of royal marriages, polite alliances, and the occasional bit of historical intrigue.

What I got instead was a steady emotional ambush.

This is one of those books that looks, at first glance, as though it’s going to behave itself—courtly settings, careful diplomacy, everyone dressed beautifully and saying the right things at the right time. And then, quite quickly, it becomes apparent that absolutely no one is having a good time and the entire future of Spain is balancing precariously on a series of increasingly unfortunate events.

At the centre of it all is Catherine of Aragon—Catalina—who begins as a well-educated, observant princess and ends up, rather alarmingly quickly, as the last emotional support pillar holding up what remains of her family’s hopes. Not a role she applied for, but here we are.

It all starts to unravel with the death of Prince Juan of Asturias, which is handled with a kind of quiet devastation that sets the tone for everything that follows. From that point on, it’s less “dynastic stability” and more “everyone please remain calm while everything collapses in a very dignified manner”.

Spoiler: they do not remain calm.

There is a particularly sharp thread running through Joanna of Castile’s chapters. Her life in Flanders has all the outward sparkle you might expect—wealth, pageantry, a husband who looks excellent in portraits—but underneath it is a slow, creeping sense of isolation. Her marriage to Philip the Handsome is less passionate drama and more… polite emotional frostbite.

He is not loudly terrible. He is, if anything, worse than that. Efficient. Ambitious. Entirely untroubled by other people’s feelings.

Which, as it turns out, is not ideal in a husband.

Meanwhile, back in Spain, grief is doing the rounds with impressive consistency. Loss follows loss, each one shifting the political landscape just enough to make everyone slightly more anxious than before. Babies are born with enormous expectations placed upon them, which feels deeply unfair given that they’ve only just arrived.

The book does a wonderful job of showing how these women are constantly being moved about like pieces on a chess board—and yet still managing to think, observe, and, occasionally, push back in small but meaningful ways. There’s a quiet defiance running through it, even when outright resistance isn’t an option.

Catalina, especially, is absorbing everything. By the time she leaves Spain, she’s not the same girl who started the journey. She’s sharper, sadder, and very aware that her future is less about Arthurian romance and more about survival with good posture.

The political side of things is neatly woven in—always present, never overwhelming. You understand what’s at stake, but it never feels like you’re being marched through a lecture. Instead, it’s more like watching a very complicated game where the rules keep changing and no one fully trusts anyone else.

Which seems accurate, frankly.

And then there’s Isabella I of Castile, who is absolutely formidable, right up until grief starts to wear her down. Watching her try to hold everything together—kingdom, legacy, family—while losing more than anyone reasonably should is quietly heartbreaking.

It becomes increasingly clear that even the most powerful woman in Europe cannot negotiate her way out of everything.

What I liked most is how the story builds. It doesn’t rush. It accumulates—loss, pressure, expectation—until by the time Catalina is standing on that ship, ready to leave, you fully understand what she’s carrying with her.

And it’s not just an impressive collection of embroidered gowns.

It’s grief. It’s duty. It’s the faint but stubborn belief that she can endure whatever comes next, largely because she has already survived quite a lot.

In the end, this isn’t really a story about a princess going to England. It’s about everything that has to fall apart first.

I had an excellent (if slightly emotionally exhausting) time with this book, and it is one I would highly recommend. 


I really do recommend this book to anyone interested in this era in history. You can grab your copy over on Amazon and get this if you have #KindleUnlimited subscription then it is free to read.

Nicola Harris


I’ve always been a writer, but it was only when illness forced me to stop everything that I finally had the time to write a novel. After decades of misdiagnosis, I learned I was born with a serious genetic condition, not rare, but profoundly misunderstood. The clues were there from birth, and suddenly, a lifetime of struggle made sense.

Writing became my lifeline: a way to step beyond my pain, to shape my experience into a story, and to find meaning where there had once been only endurance.

I have a lifelong love of children, Counselling, and Psychotherapy Theory and history.

Book Review: A Plethora of Phantoms (Spirited Encounters Book 2) by Penny Hampson




A Plethora of Phantoms 
(Spirited Encounters Book 2)
By Penny Hampson


Whose footsteps in the dark?

He is heir to the earldom of Batheaston and lives in an elegant, stately home, but handsome twenty-something Freddie Lanyon is not a happy man. Not only is he gay and dreading coming out to his family, but he’s also troubled by ghosts that nobody else can see.

When Freddie’s impulsive purchase of an antique dressing case triggers even more ghostly happenings with potentially catastrophic consequences, he has to take action.

Freddie contacts charismatic psychic Marcus Spender for help and feels an immediate attraction to this handsome antique dealer –– a feeling that is mutual. But the pair’s investigations unearth shocking, long-buried secrets, which prove a major challenge to their task of laying unhappy spirits to rest and to their blossoming relationship.

Being brave isn’t one of Freddie’s standout qualities, but he’ll need all the courage he can muster to rid himself of wayward phantoms and get his life on track.

A Plethora of Phantoms is an uplifting ghostly tale about love, friendship, and acceptance.
 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Oh look, a nice quiet country-house story (in which the family estate comes with entirely too much history attached, unsettling visions, and a deeply inconvenient attraction to a man who keeps turning up precisely when things become alarming).

A Plethora of Phantoms is a warm, witty, and quietly haunting tale of identity, inheritance, and the rather persistent problem of the past refusing to stay where it belongs.

I went into this expecting something pleasantly familiar. You know the sort: old estate, slightly eccentric family, perhaps a few odd noises in the night that can eventually be explained away with a combination of draughts and imagination.

Instead, the book takes that expectation, gives it a polite nod, and then immediately introduces footsteps that absolutely should not be there.

Freddie Lanyon has returned to his family home to take on his responsibilities, which is already quite enough to be getting on with without the additional complication of things moving about when no one is looking and an increasing suspicion that he may not be alone in his own house.

This becomes rather more difficult to ignore when the disturbances begin to feel… personal.

Enter Marcus Spender, an antiques dealer with an interest in a particular dressing case and, somewhat inconveniently, in Freddie himself. As first meetings go, this one involves a great deal of mutual attraction, a healthy amount of suspicion, and the creeping sense that something is unfolding around them that neither of them entirely understands.

Which, as foundations for a relationship go, is perhaps not ideal.

Marcus, to his credit, approaches the situation with a mixture of curiosity, patience, and a willingness to stay involved even when events take a distinctly unnerving turn. Freddie, on the other hand, is attempting to manage an estate, a family, a haunting, and his own long-standing habit of not saying what he actually feels.

This proves challenging.

Most of the story follows Freddie as he tries to untangle a series of increasingly complicated problems: the identity of the ghost, the history attached to the house, and the small matter of his own deeply buried truths. Unfortunately for him, these issues are not separate.

They are, in fact, very much the same problem.

The more Freddie learns about the past, the clearer it becomes that this is not simply a matter of an inconvenient spirit. It is a matter of old secrets, unresolved grief, and a love story that ended badly and has been waiting, rather stubbornly, to be acknowledged.

Quite a long time, in fact.

Freddie spends much of the book attempting to make sense of things, which would be easier if the answers did not have a tendency to produce further questions. Usually at inconvenient moments. Often late at night.

Meanwhile, Marcus finds himself increasingly entangled in both the mystery and Freddie’s life, dealing with ghosts (literal), emotional repression (considerable), and the growing realisation that he is falling for someone who is, in several respects, more complicated than he initially appeared.

Again, not ideal.

Their relationship develops with a lovely mix of awkwardness, tenderness, and urgency. This is not a leisurely “we shall consider our feelings at a sensible pace” sort of romance. This is very much a “there is a ghost in the house, everything is escalating, and we may as well be honest about at least one thing” situation.

Which, under the circumstances, feels entirely reasonable.

The family dynamics are also a delight. The Lanyons are chaotic, affectionate, occasionally exasperating, and far more perceptive than Freddie gives them credit for. There is a great deal of warmth here, which balances the darker elements of the story beautifully.

And the haunting itself is handled particularly well. It is not simply there to be frightening (though it can be); it is there to be understood. The mystery unfolds gradually, revealing layers of history, emotion, and injustice that give the supernatural elements real weight.

Every revelation matters.

What I enjoyed most is how the story steadily expands. It begins with a house and a few strange occurrences, then becomes something deeper, stranger, and far more emotionally resonant. By the time everything comes together, the resolution feels earned rather than imposed.

And rather moving.

Inheritance, hidden histories, family secrets, a romance that refuses to wait for convenient timing, and a haunting that is as much about love as it is about fear.

What can I say? This one starts with footsteps in the night and ends with something altogether more meaningful.

I had a thoroughly lovely time with it.
