Madelina is the youngest daughter of a Norman conqueror and a woman of power. Her own power is insignificant enough in her eyes that she trains to be a healer under the expert tutelage of her mother. When a child is brought to the castle where she lives, she knows she doesn’t have the skills to heal him, and her mother’s powers—and her own—will need to be revealed to a handsome knight.
Alexander Lain is the seventh son of a seventh son, and as such he has luck on his side in everything he does. When he finds a peasant child burning with fever, her parents burning in a hovel nearby, he takes the child, hoping to find someone who can heal her. He’s pointed toward the castle and Lady Lina, and he takes the child there, finding it convenient that his errand was taking him to the same place.

I know I should let her go …

I write every book with a muse. I’ve been told it shows a certain lack of imagination. But I don’t care. It’s the way I write. It’s the way I choose to write. If you could write with a beautiful woman sitting in your office (or occupying another, ahem, piece of furniture), you would write this way too.

Usually it doesn’t take long to find one. Women send me their “resumes.” Call. Email. Turn up at every stop on my book tours. But after a year, I’m still searching. My agent is getting antsy. Okay, she’s on the verge of full-blown panic that I won’t finish this book in time.

Food. It should be one of life’s great pleasures, yet many of us have such a conflicted relationship with it that we miss out on that most basic of satisfactions.  But it is possible—and not really all that difficult–to reclaim the joy of eating, according to Dr. Jan Bays, and mindfulness is the key. Her approach involves bringing one’s full attention to the process of eating—to all the tastes, smells, thoughts, and feelings that arise during a meal.  She shows how to:

• Tune into your body’s own wisdom about what, when, and how much to eat
  Eat less while feeling fully satisfied
  Identify your habits and patterns with food
  Develop a more compassionate attitude toward your struggles with eating
  Discover what you’re really hungry for

Have you been to the doctor, only to leave with a prescription for antibiotics, few answers, and little to no hope?   Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a poorly understood skin condition that is believed to affect nearly twelve million people in the United States alone. Only a small fraction of those affected have been properly diagnosed, leaving many others to suffer in silence or pursue ill-advised conventional treatment methods that fail to address the cause of this painful condition.

There comes a time when offering your life for your child’s doesn’t work, when you realize that it’ll never be enough. 

The cold needle in his warm vein was a welcome comfort to my son at first. But then it became the monster that kept us apart. 

Heroin lied, and my son believed. It took him to a world where the last year didn’t happen, to a place where his father was still alive. What Beck didn’t understand was that it couldn’t bring his father back from the dead. It couldn’t take away his pain, not permanently.
