Joanne Fisher

From the keyboard and the very talented fingers of Joanne Fisher comes her ninth book, Magnolia Blossom.

Valdosta, Georgia – 1863. While America is ravaged by the chaos of the Civil War, Magnolia Mae (or Maggie, as she is lovingly called) suddenly becomes a young widow and inherits her parents’ plantation. Surrounded by scheming neighbors, connivingly jealous southern belles, and unscrupulous slaveowners; Maggie Mae is a sparkling diamond in the mire of prejudice and hatred. She repays with love, kindness, and compassion. A staunch abolitionist, she treats her slaves with dignity and respect, ignoring the centuries-old tradition of oppression and bondage. When a handsome young Yankee named Wesley appears, he tosses her into a tumultuous sea of passion, delight, anxiety, and unshakable defiance of the ways of the South. Find out what happens when a forbidden love challenges the evils of slavery and bigotry. This riveting page-turner takes you to a land devastated by war where a forbidden love blossoms.

Yours Truly

K. J. Pierce

Never tick off a paparazzo with the ethics of a demented dingo!

Izzie Greene never wanted the limelight. As a caterer for Poe, the top-rated U.S. TV show, she has background player down pat. She loves spoiling the cast and crew with her goodies and fantasizing about her celebrity crush, Poe's lead actor, Scotsman Cardwell Bennett. But mostly she loves her quiet, anonymous life.

Izzie's personal life takes a jab when her ex-boyfriend shows up on set. Her career suffers a blow when she runs afoul of an unethical paparazzo. The personal and professional collide in a knock-out punch when her rumored romance with Cardwell hits the tabloids.

The rumors may or may not be true. Izzie certainly won't tell. Instead, she white-knuckles the flaming rollercoaster of fake news, her notoriety fueled by equal measures of constant scrutiny, speculation, and half-truths.

Held captive by the media, accident-prone Izzie struggles to keep her privacy, secrets, and sanity--not to mention her sense of humor--intact. With help from her best friend Delly, her temperamental cat Edgar, and backup from an unexpected source, she might just have the recipe for success.

If she can withstand the heat!

Change

Space Coast Writers' Guild

“The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.” – Albert Einstein

Bing defines “change” as “the act of making or becoming different; convert, transform, adapt, modify, rebuild, reconstruct, refashion….”

Good writing requires authors to think outside of themselves, to adapt to different situations, and to convert preconceived perceptions to those that may be revealed on the other side of the coin. Otherwise, their words may be nothing more than petty cash.

This anthology from the Space Coast Writers’ Guild (SCWG) is a collection of poetry, inspirational and fictional stories, and memoirs about life, romance, family, and perceptions, and how the inevitable unpredictability occurring in most circumstances can bring about Change.

The Space Coast Writers' Guild is a network of writers dedicated to the same goal: helping authors realize their writing ambitions. Since 1982, the SCWG has provided activities to educate, develop, and promote its members.
