A Lassiter NovellaRuby Lassiter has spent her life taking care of others. Helping to raise her siblings took all her time and energy. Now they are grown, some married with children and all living their lives. Ruby is now thirty-seven years old, experiencing empty nest syndrome. No she never married and has no children of her own. What is she supposed to do with her life now? Devin Upton moved back home to settle his father's estate. Taking over his father's business was one thing. Fulfilling his father's dying request was another. It was up to him to find the right person to bring the plan to fruition. At thirty-eight, never married and no children, love was the last thing on his mind. An angry woman bursting through the door and literally knocking him to his knees changed that. Christmas magic is in the air. Love is all around. Anything...anything can happen when red slippers are involved.
A plus-sized woman with good reason to be wary of men... A crystal warrior who believes himself unworthy of a woman's love.... Ruby's plus-sized, boyfriend-less, and turning thirty. But things are looking up when she's given a kyanite crystal and encounters the most beautiful man she's ever seen. Wow, best birthday present ever But the Adonis-like Kyan must have an agenda: He couldn't truly be interested in someone like her. Kyan can't figure out why Ruby hides behind smart comebacks and self-deprecating comments... and seems hell-bent on pushing other women at him. How can Ruby not understand the allure she holds for a man like him? Both Kyan and Ruby have powerful reasons to distrust their growing feelings for each other. But before they can sort through their emotional baggage, the Crystal Guardian intervenes... and time runs out for them both.
Ruby Luna starts her period at 10 years old and keeps a diary for the next two years all about the menstrual products she tries and the things that happen to her and her friends. It is aimed at 10-12 year olds, but would be suitable for any girl starting her period earlier than that. It also covers the transition from primary to secondary school. It is written with humour to keep the topic light and entertaining, but includes lots of information from the impact of diet on periods to when girls historically started menarche (first period) in an accessible way. (/br) (/br)Ruby Luna's Moontime is a follow-on book from Ruby Luna's Curious Journey for 5-9 year olds on female anatomy, but it can be read independently. "It's great I think it will really appeal to teens too I think it covers a lot of things that girls want to know about. This diary is funny, packed full of useful information and will help girls feel confident about periods and body changes. Great job " Anna (13) "I had fun reading this book with my mum. There was great practical advice on periods, and I enjoyed reading a story that reflected my own experience of starting my period and transitioning from primary to secondary school." Rosie Davis (12) "My daughter found the prospect of reading a book about puberty and periods less than inspiring but she has always loved being read to so Tessa's book was just the ticket. At 12 having started her period at 10 she felt super knowledgable when we began to read together. We enjoyed chatting about the story and how it related to her own experience of ending primary and entering secondary school. We also chatted about all the period related issues brought up so cleverly in the book. If you are looking for a novel to share with your pre-teen that is fun, informative and that will bring you closer to your daughter look no further. Although my daughter is 12 we both felt that this would still be a great book for a 9-10 year old, especially if she is an early bloomer. This is a much-needed book - fiction is the best way to teach pre-teen girls about the changes taking place in their bodies and the practical issued that can impact them. Well done Tessa on writing this much needed book." Julie Davis (mum) "In my capacity of talking to secondary school children about puberty, there is a vast difference in what kids know or believe, so a resource like this will help put the record straight in an enjoyable and educational way." Sharon Sneddon, Lecturer in Reproductive Medicine "I like the way the diary pointed out that most teachers are approachable and supportive in regard to children who have started their periods, regardless of how young they may be when this happens, and raised common issues such as going swimming at school and when the children are taught about periods at primary school." Mrs Mirbel, Deputy Head of Micklands Primary About the AuthorTESSA VENUTI SANDERSON teaches menstrual cycle awareness to girls and women and facilitates Celebration Day for Girls gatherings where menarche (first period) is seen as a rite of passage and an opportunity to enhance body image and self-esteem. She has a PhD in Medical Sociology and is also a women's yoga teacher. Learn more at www.cyclicalwisdom.com and www.tessayoga.co.uk.

The years following the American Civil War propelled the great state of Texas into a bold future through a rush of expansionism. Much of this industrious activity was made possible by the ever-increasing reach of the railroads and, in Texas, great stretches of track were laid down and paid for with the lives of prisoners having little hope of ever escaping the state penal system. Ruby's Prayer is the story of the Texas-based Wallace family during the spring of 1880. The family is recovering from the wounds of the Civil War, including the loss of their mother, son Tom Wallace's inhuman incarceration, and sibling rivalries and double-dealings, all while enmeshed in the intrigues of political, monetary and personal ambitions. Full of colorful characters both likable and despicable, Ruby's Prayer reveals the hopes, loves and trials of an American family struggling to find their way during the tumultuous emergence of the Industrial Age and the final days of the Wild West.
