Seriously. Iain S. Thomas Central Avenue Publishing is proud to publish another book by the widely acclaimed poet Iain S. Thomas. As many have noted on various social media platforms, there have been some issues that have led to the delayed release of this book. For this, we apologise and hopefully the content of the book should clarify the circumstances that lead to this delay. We feel we should also point out that this is not technically a self-help book, but it does contain some poignant prose, poetry and stories which may or may not lead you to happiness. Mostly, it is the rather unfortunate chronicle of a man's attempt to write the book he’s promised his publisher, no matter the cost to his sanity. ISBN Trade Paper: 978-1-77168-031-8 ISBN ebook: 978-1-77168-032-5 POETRY | General Pages: 196 List Price: $13.95 | $5.99 Publish Date: Summer 2015 Praise for the Poetry of Iain S. Thomas "One of the most beautiful things I have ever read. Ever." - BT, Grammy Nominated Composer and Technologist "This is me. This is you. This is us. This is every human being, past and present, old and young, of every ethnicity, race and faith. Our every complex human emotion translated into words. Someone knows and someone understands. This is the essence of what it truly means to be human." - Ethar El-Katatney, CNN African Journalist Of The Year, awardwinning journalist, blogger and author "The magnificent beauty of I Wrote This For You is quite simply this: the book is elegantly incomplete without you. No one else in the world can read it the way you do. No one." - Matthew E. May, Author of The Elegant Solution, In Pursuit Of Elegance, The Shibumi Strategy page 2 The Recipient The Recipient Dean Mayes Casey Schillinge is a vivacious young woman on the verge of making her mark on the world. While backpacking, she is struck down by a tropical disease and suffers cardiac failure. But at the eleventh hour, Casey receives a life-saving heart transplant - and a rare second chance to begin again. Three years later, Casey has become a withdrawn shell of her former self: she is estranged from her loved ones, afraid of open spaces and rides the line between legitimate and criminal work. The worst of her troubles come in the form of violent night terrors; so frightening that she resorts to extreme measures to keep herself from sleeping. When she can take no more, she embarks on a desperate search for the source of her dreams. In so doing, she makes a shocking discovery surrounding the tragic fate of the donor whose heart now beats inside her chest. As she delves deeper into the mystery of her donor, she realizes her dreams are not a figment of her imagination, but a real life nightmare.

(It was a good story too.) And a longer time still since a book made me cry because it was so wonderfully written and contained such a powerful, moving story." ~ Once Upon A Dream Books "Dean writes so beautifully, that you can hear the music playing. You feel the emotions that are poured into compositions from the artists. I felt like I was back in orchestra, listening to a playback of a performance." ~ Books Complete Me page 3 Soul of a Crow Soul of a Crow (Dove #2) Abbie Williams It is 1868 and the country is still reeling from the brutal effects of the Civil War. Lorie Blake, a warorphan who escaped the miserable prison of her life as a prostitute in a Missouri whorehouse, now takes wing, embarking on a breathtaking overland journey northwest. With Lorie is her newfound family – brothers Boyd and Malcolm Carter, experienced horseman Sawyer Davis, and his beloved paint mare, Whistler. For the first time in years, there seems reason to hope. Thrown together by the circumstances of fate, and now deeply bound by love, each of them are determined to begin new lives as homesteaders in Minnesota. But, the past refuses to die quietly. Former Confederate soldiers Sawyer and Boyd are haunted by the scavenger-like specters of a War that refuses to stay buried, a conflict never truly put to rest. New friends emerge and old enemies arise, as ancient hatreds boil over in the hearts of the men who survived. In the face of incredible odds, Lorie must rely upon all of the emotional strength in her soul as she battles for the life of her true love, and towards the enduring promise of a new beginning in the north.

It didn’t pull punches, it feels period, it was filled with memorable characters and at times lovely descriptions and language. Even though there is a sequel coming, this book feels complete." ~ Dear Author "With a sweet romance, good natured camaraderie, and a very real element of danger, this book is hard to put down." ~ San Francisco Book Review page 4 OMG... I Did It Again?! OMG... I Did It Again?! (OMG #2) Talia Aikens-Nunez April Appleton wakes up to quite the sight: a herd of elephants marching down her street! When her brother bursts in to her room with an accusing look on his face, she realizes that her powers of witchcraft have done it again. With her friends, Grace and Eve, April must figure out how the elephants got to her town in the first place and then how to get them back home. But with elephants playing in the neighbor's pool, sitting on cars and eating everyone's trees, how will they do it?

Forced from the only home she had ever known, and then into shameful employment in a Missouri whorehouse, the toll exacted upon young Lorie Blake’s heart was deep and painful. When a passionate true love burned unexpectedly into her life, and was then threatened, she fought for it with every bit of strength in her soul. Now, in the early spring of 1869, Lorie has learned what it means to be a survivor – in every sense of the word. A former prostitute, now a respectable midwife. A former soldier with a life-altering injury, seeking grace. Two brothers, determined to make their way in the unforgiving North. A Yankee widow with a broken heart. And a love that undeniably binds each of them. The past must be left behind in order to move ahead, this Lorie understands, and yet the future holds so many unknowns. The journey she must make is one fraught with both hardship and danger, as Lorie struggles to reunite her scattered fledgling family. The final book in the Dove series, Grace of a Hawk is a soaring, heart-wrenching epic that shows us we are perhaps not so far removed from those who came before us.

Now her home has been shattered, and her friends and family pulled along with her as they run from an evil cult and take shelter in the gloomy Underworld. To love, trust, and smile again seems almost out of Sophie's reach. But remembering the life of the original Persephone and her fellow immortals long ago may prove the best therapy, as well as their key to victory. In ancient times too, the murderous cult Thanatos attacked and eventually wiped out the Greek immortals who sought to bring good to humankind. But those immortals planted seeds in both their realm and ours to ensure that their season would bloom again someday. And spring is finally coming.
