What
if someone cloned you? And then abducted you twenty-five years later? In Luke’s
Lithium, handsome Luke Allen, a witty, yet shy trust brat, volunteers at
the FDNY with his firefighting comrades. Luke has it all, except for love.
Abducted by Create Life Technologies, along with 5000 others, Luke learns the

Gretchen, another abducted Create Life Clone. Luke’s Lithium is full of surprises, new romances, rescues and a

Carbon Copy
By: Terri Talley Venters
Lilly Allen has brains, beauty, and
a trust fund. She's living in New York City and her career as a reporter is
taking off. She's hoping the love of her life, Grier, will propose soon. She
has it all, or so she thinks.
Grier Garrison, Create Life
executive, is running the company while his father, Dr. Michael Garrison, is in
the ICU awaiting a heart transplant. Grier knows the truth about Create Life
and its shady side business. He fears Lilly and her twin brother, Luke, are in
danger.
While working on two unrelated
stories, stolen newborns and cloning, Lilly discovers a shocking connection.
Horrific things are happening, but who is behind it all?

Roof
SPOILER ALERT
Do not read until you’ve
read Carbon Copy
In the sequel to Carbon Copy, Lilly Allen returns to her
hometown of Charleston, South Carolina, to be closer to her mother, help with
her injured brother, and heal from the disappearance of her fiancé Grier
Garrison. While she awaits Grier's return, she busies herself with her mansion
renovations, her best friend's wedding, and her job as a news reporter.
But even her busy schedule cannot stem the
worry over her brother's persistent amnesia and changes in personality. Is he
her real twin? Or did they rescue a clone?
On top of this, the months of pining
without a word from Grier begin to take their toll. She finds herself growing
closer to her favorite cameraman, Joe. His confession of undying love, followed
by a passionate kiss, has her questioning how much longer she can wait, and
whether she wants to.
To further complicate matters, two
unrelated news stories drag her into the seamy underbelly of the Charleston
Police Department where murder and drugs are common occurrences.
In the chaos of a hurricane, another body
washes ashore, and Lilly comes face-to-face with the murderer.

Body Of Gold
By: Terri Talley Venters
Even in this post-Bernie Madoff era, it’s surprising how easily
investors unknowingly hand over their money to con artists, also known as money
managers. Chelsea Lynn Cobb earned the title of the youngest hedge-fund manager
at Trans World Investments in Chicago. This charming southern beauty proved a
financial genius, but her workaholic tendencies hinder her free time to meet
men who match her impossibly high standards. When she’s not kicking ass at the
office, she’s kicking ass at her Taekwondo class where she falls for her new
instructor, Troy Camden. With the exciting distraction of a new and passionate
relationship, she spends less time at the office until she discovers financial
scams operating at Trans World. Someone is stealing millions from investors,
but the evidence points towards her.

**************************************************
Penelope Manchester, a good witch with one green
and one blue eye, awaits her destiny: a warrior of God with the face of an
angel, the heart of a saint, and eyes which match her own. St. Michael the
Archangel flies into her life and sweeps her off her feet. Meanwhile, an evil
sorcerer captures witches, steals their powers and most of their nine lives,
and shrinks them to the size of a doll--a Nuremberg doll. But when he turns two
of the Manchester witches into dolls, the Manchester clan fights back with St.
Michael and divine intervention. Armed with the legendary copper cauldron, a
fire breathing dragon, and an arsenal of spells, good battles evil.
