55 Poems by award winning author, Regina PuckettThe Afternoon BlazeThe sky was aflame with towering clouds of fireIts warnings appeared to be a poetic, sunlit pyreRed and orange against billowing whites and grays Creating the late afternoon's most dazzling blaze

Seth Black is Nashville's next-big-thing in country music. Unfortunately, the road to fame is fraught with temptation and danger. At every turn, Seth has to fight off beautiful women, whilst at the same time struggling to make the Black family name something to be proud of again. It would be easy to fall into the same kind of trap that had snared his once famous father, Montgomery Black. Seth, though, wants more from his life than drugs, alcohol and womanizing. While he did inherit his deceased father's great singing voice and stage presence, Seth absolutely refuses to fall into the same rowdy lifestyle that ultimately destroyed his father, and their family. His biggest dream is to have the type of home life he never had when growing up, but the life of a country music star means he'll have to be extra careful.Suzette Warren is the daughter and step-daughter to one of Hollywood's most famous couples, David and Charity Warren. Suzette feels safe and settled in the quiet, unassuming life she has created for herself. Her ultra-chic art gallery in the small town of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, isn't the art center of the world, but it is her piece of heaven. It isn't until Seth walks through its front door that she realizes there's more to life than the next big art deal. Until meeting Seth, she never knew someone else had the other half of her heart. When Seth hires her to paint his portrait for a new CD cover, the two of them begin to see a real chance at love. Of course, nothing is ever that easy. Someone in Seth's life hates him enough to try and stop him from having his own happy-ever-after. While love is always worth fighting for, Seth and Suzette will have to overcome their own demons before they recognize its true value.

A collection of poetry Drink Our FillEver once awhile and againI think back to where it beginA tracing of a fingertipA momentary trip and slipGoosebumps and shiversMoments sliced into sliversA pause and then a glanceWondering if there could be a chanceIf only time could somehow stand stillWhile our hearts drank their fill

Mine- A night of ghost hunting with a sexy coworker turns into a deadly game of cat and mouse with an evil spirit. Can anything save them when the spirit decides they belong to him?Crying through Plastic Eyes-A messy divorce, a room filled with creepy dolls, and a missing six-year-old all create the perfect storm for a young mother's worse nightmare.Will Work for Food- You see them everywhere begging for money or food. When an older couple decides to lend a helping hand to a young man and his son, someone gets more than they bargain for.Pieces-A battered woman confesses to the mutilation and death of her husband, but did she really commit this heinous crime?Paying the Hitchhiker-You see a beautiful young woman on the side of the road with her thumb out, asking for a ride. Who should be the most afraid: the hitchhiker or the person picking her up?Inheritance-A confession from Accalia's grandmother about a curse and an inheritance are just the prologue to seven days of suffering through a living hell.

Tiny Caterpillar dreams of what he wants to be when he grows up. Maybe he'll be a horse, a dog, a cat or even a cow.He soon learns that he can't be them and they can't be him, but everyone can be the best they are meant to be.
