Te’ora is a story of surviving and thriving.
The Rapanui word “Te’ora” means “a beautiful new life.”
Sharon‘s memoir – an international journey of ancient destiny, self-worth, and true love – takes place in Canada, the USA, Pakistan and Rapa Nui (Easter Island). She offers her memoir as comfort and support for other women who might see themselves in her story, that they may feel encouraged by their own strength and resiliency as they follow their own paths to healing, and create their own beautiful, new lives.
“Sharon’s courage to tell her story inspires we readers to hold compassion for our own vulnerability and wounding, and that of others, and to set our collective compass toward freedom. Her book empowers us to know that we are all part of a great unified restoration that begins with ourselves. We are the co-creators of a new paradigm when girls and women (and all children) are safe, honored, nurtured, and respected. Sharon’s courage, honesty, wisdom, and love shine a powerful light for us.”
~ Dale Allen, Author/Film of In Our Right Minds
“Te’ora is a raw, honest recounting of self-discovery and perseverance. This memoir is really a testament to the strength of women and how we must all fight for ourselves and what we really need out of life. Sharon Diotte teaches us that although life may grow dark at times, there is always light to be found in your friends, mentors, loved ones, nature, and most importantly, yourself. The darkness does not define your life. Sharon encourages her readers to believe that healing is, in fact, possible.”
~ Patricia Fero, LMSW, Author
Covers: “Nettled” and “Unmasked” by Sarah Carlisle
A double cover reveal in author Sarah Carlisle’s Enchanted Tales of Tír series, “Nettled” book two of the series, and a special addition prequel novella “Unmasked“.
“Nettled”
A mute princess. A distrustful prince. Seven spider-y brothers. One chance to save the kingdom from a villainous scheme.
Princess Maeryn is the only girl stuck in the middle of seven brothers. Life’s been full of pranks and the occasional sword fight at the table, but she’s always been able to count on them in a pinch. Now her brothers have been transformed into the most loathsome creatures imaginable, nobody else knows of the curse, and she can’t speak a word about it. Literally.
Eadmund is still reeling. His best friend has betrayed him, and his parents have sacrificed his beloved cousin’s happiness for political gain, promising her to a cruel prince for reasons he can’t understand. Facing his own suddenly arranged marriage leaves him wary as he arrives in Cwmyr to meet his bride. His suspicions seem confirmed when he discovers she is mute, only communicates by writing, and seems strangely affectionate towards the creepy giant spiders that seem to appear in every corner. Are his parents certain they want a mad princess as his bride?
But the more Prince Eadmund comes to know Princess Maeryn, the more he begins to wonder. What if there’s some point to her harvesting of nettles and that constant knitting?
Nettled is a sweet, clean retelling of The Wild Swans. While it can be read alone, the books of The Enchanted Tales of Tírare best enjoyed in order.

As children, Eleri and Sawel played together in the woods of the palace grounds—the best place to escape her strict parents and the heavy weight of being a nobleman’s daughter and a prince.
When Eleri’s parents decide to send her to a dangerous foreign kingdom and into the power of a violent and ambitious king, Sawel is the first person she turns to for help. But while being a prince might bestow certain privileges, overriding a lady’s parents is not one of them.
The only solution is to hide Eleri until she comes of age—and what better place to hide than in the palace? But even as their challenging circumstance leads them to see each other in a new light and friendship turns to love, danger looms. With Eleri’s parents on the hunt, how can she ever be safe to marry Sawel and find her happily ever after?

Cover reveal for “Murder or Rollerblade Rupture?” by James PJ Lee.
Now available!
When you live in an idyllic New England village, on a river just outside of beautiful Boston Massachusetts, no one expects murder, never mind one that ends the life of a not so well loved a professor, whose body was found at the bottom of an old abandoned subway transit stop’s staircase—and he was wearing rollerblades! Was he pushed? Proving the obscure motive of sibling rivalry for the professor’s casualty, and taking on the rich and powerful Stone family alone overwhelms and threatens Dillon Delaney’s own life. Fighting back, he is reluctantly forced into the role of self-appointed sleuth, and launches his own investigation into the death, one that uncovers hidden secrets of the Stone family and the rebellious son’s mysterious skate shop.
Due to his good fortune of winning the Massachusetts vaccination incentive lottery that ran at the height of the COVID-19 Pandemic, Dillon Delaney left his post as a principal and created and conducts a nonprofit organization that is a service learning center – an action based program that commits K-12 age students to projects under the motto of kindness matters.
Experiencing the trauma of losing his parents and the grandmother that raised him, Dillon has pistanthrophobia, a fear of getting abandoned and hurt so deeply that he avoids intimate relationships as a way to guard against future emotionally painful experiences. Instead, he relies on the support of his chosen family — one he must protect and preserve at all costs — those who live and run the shops in Goodman Village, located on the Sudbury River in Sudbury, Massachusetts, just west of Boston, Massachusetts.
Ultimately, Dillon finds his way to shaman-like officer, Louise Renaldo, who concocts an unorthodox approach to obtain the proof that unpacks the truth. The journey leads Dillon out of his comfort zone toward finding a surprise chance at learning to love and trust again.

Read what others say about The Saltwater Crimes Trilogy;
“The Saltwater Crime novels are evocative Australian surf noir (if that’s not a thing, it should be), a cross between Garry Disher and early Don Winslow, and combine environmental activism, political corruption, star chamber hearings, suspicious property developers, and a few sexy bits. Highly recommended!!” Sarah Elks, book reviewer and senior journalist at The Australian newspaper.
Beautifully written the descriptions of the surf and surfing to the landscape I felt I was there.
Do yourself a favour and purchase the 3 book series by PG Robertson. I recommend this series to anyone who enjoys a good detective story with a strong but relatable heroine, who loves the great outdoors, especially the beaches and surfing and is keen to visit, or who has grown up on, the east coast of Australia. PG Robertson describes the cities and coastal towns beautifully and you feel like you are riding the wave with Ange in the surfing scenes.
After binge reading books 1 and 2, I couldn’t wait to find out how it all came together. While satisfied with the ending, I was pleased to see PG Robertson left the door open for more to come. I really enjoyed this series. So entertaining, and learned some stuff too, highly recommend this author.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this series. Great for anyone planning to visit Australia as it captures place and language very well.
