Book excerpt: American Book Award Winner: A novel of a New Mexico teenager’s journey of physical and spiritual recovery from the author of Bless Me, Ultima. When the story opens, the eponymous hero of Rudolfo Anaya’s novel is in an ambulance en route to a hospital for crippled children in the New Mexican desert. A poor boy from Albuquerque, sixteen-year-old Tortuga takes his name from the odd, turtle-shaped mountain that is rumored to possess miraculous curative powers. Tortuga is paralyzed, and not even his mother’s fervent prayers can heal him. But under the mountain’s watchful gaze, with the support of fellow patients, he begins the Herculean task of breaking out of his shell and becoming whole again. Drawn from personal experience and imbued with the phantasmagorical vision quests that distinguish Anaya’s work, Tortuga is a joyful, life-sustaining book about hope, faith, friendship, and love that celebrates the triumph of the human spirit in the physical world. “An extraordinary storyteller.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review

Crysta has come to accept that she is freakishly different. Her shocking white hair, creepy powers, and weird eating habits prevent her from fitting in with her various foster families. Now that she is fully emancipated and providing for herself, she hopes her life will become something halfway normal. Her hopes are shattered when a dangerous man with lethal intent breaks into her apartment, but this enticing stranger isn't what he seems. Is he here to kill her or protect her from others who will? My Fair Assassin is a romantic love story with elements of paranormal and urban fantasy woven in for an entertaining read. Adults and teens alike will enjoy getting lost in the pages of Crysta's story as she finally comes to accept who she is...or rather what she is. " CJ Anaya uses her entertaining story to address issues of self-esteem. Fine writing with an entertaining story supportive of real life differences." - Grady Harp, Amazon Hall Of Fame Top 100 Reviewer "My Fair Assassin is a rare gem in the Paranormal Romance genre. The two main leads are both enjoyable, the writing is engaging, and the alterations to traditional faerie lore lend themselves to some fun and creative world building. As someone who was in high school when Twilight was getting big, I honestly thought I’d seen it all when it came to YA Paranormal Romance. I’m so glad Anaya proved me wrong." -Tay LaRoi, author and book blogger You will enjoy this book if you like: fairy royalty fae romances science fiction and urban fantasy mythical worlds mythical creatures teen paranormal romance myths and legends fairy tales and folklore

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shelbi was born with a rare disease that causes her to struggle in a world with little acceptance for those who are different. She was told “no” far too often and bullied, shunned, and mistreated. She was made to feel less than but still knew she could do what was being denied because despite mistreatment, she was also loved, adored, and supported. Thanks for Telling Her “No” follows the first twenty-six years of Shelbi’s life. Written through the eyes of her mom, you will feel the inner groans of a mother raising a child deemed “different.” Her mom devotes her life to seeing that Shelbi accomplishes what she wants to accomplish. No matter how high, how low, how crowded, or how bumpy, they find a way to keep going and make it through. Their story is written in chronological order with each chapter building on the last. The chapter titles are different names for God, signifying how He guided them through each trial and victory. The conclusion is proof that it takes a village to raise a child—but also faith. Have you ever been told “no” about something you thought you could do? Never let words keep you from being all you can be. Prepare to laugh, cry, and maybe get angry but ultimately rejoice!

After reading his thoughts, I finally got some peace of mind, but I really want to know To whom does it belong? Because it is filled with hidden truths.

Book excerpt: A Chicano PI hunts his cousin’s killer in “a compelling thriller [with] a deep-seated respect for the traditions of a people and a culture” (Booklist). The great-grandson of a legendary lawman and gunfighter, thirty-year-old Sonny Baca hopes he possesses even a tenth of El Bisabuelo’s courage. But instead of cleaning up New Mexico by hunting down dangerous desperadoes, the struggling PI looks for missing persons and deadbeat husbands. The game changes when his cousin Gloria—the first woman Sonny ever loved—is brutally slain. Her corpse is found drained of blood. A zia sun sign, the symbol on the New Mexican flag, is carved on her stomach. Gloria’s husband, Frank Dominic, a politician making a run for mayor of Albuquerque, has a powerful motive for murder. But Gloria wasn’t the first victim. A year earlier, another woman was slain in the exact same way. Is a serial killer on the loose? Or is this the handiwork of some satanic cult? Feeling his cousin’s spirit crying out for justice, Sonny and his girlfriend begin a search that takes them across New Mexico’s polluted South Valley to an environmental compound in the mountains. As Sonny moves closer to the truth, he uncovers a chilling connection between his past and a very real and present evil . . .

Book excerpt: We've been sold a lie: The world tells us that pain is inevitable, that our bodies must break down as we age, and that there's nothing we can do about it. Researchers develop new drugs to manage our pain; surgeons dream up new techniques to repair worn-out joints. But we never truly feel better. Here's the shocking truth: The vast majority of the pain that plagues our aging bodies is self-inflicted. It's caused by the way we use our bodies every day: the way we sit, the way we stand, the way we walk and run, even the way you open a jar of pasta sauce. But with simple exercises, anybody can learn to heal their chronic musculoskeletal pain, and prevent future pain, injury, and joint problems from developing. The Pain Relief Secret explores the fascinating science of pain, and instructs readers in Clinical Somatics, a method of neuromuscular education that relieves chronic muscle tightness, restores natural posture and movement, and eliminates pain. Students of Clinical Somatics have healed from chronic back pain, joint and nerve pain, scoliosis, and many other common pain conditions. Best of all, Clinical Somatics puts the power in your hands. You don't need special training or expensive repeat visits to a physical therapist. Clinical Somatics exercises are practiced on your own and in your very own home. This is The Pain Relief Secret: your key to taking back your body from a lifetime of pain. This book is great for anyone who has tried surgery, drugs, chiropractic treatments, naturopathy, yoga, physiotherapy, or massage therapy and still experiences chronic pain.

But when she's kidnapped and held captive, her only hope of survival lies in the hands of a man she never expected—a powerful and devastatingly handsome Arab prince. Zarif, one of the three heirs to the wealthy Emirate of Sintarah, has spent his life as the world's most sought-after bachelor, sworn to remain free of love and marriage. But when fate forces his path to cross with Anaya's, his sense of duty compels him to act, rescuing her from her captors. However, his act of honor comes with a price—one that even a prince cannot escape. Bound by a marriage neither of them wanted, Anaya and Zarif are thrown into a world of royal intrigue, passion, and conflict. As they navigate the tensions of their forced union, deeper feelings begin to surface, threatening to shatter the walls they've both built around their hearts. But can love truly bloom in a marriage forged out of obligation? For fans of captivating royal romances and high-stakes drama, The Prince's Unwilling Bride will sweep you into a whirlwind of passion, danger, and desire. Will Anaya and Zarif defy the odds, or will duty tear them apart?
