The Sea Shack
by Mark McNulty
 
"The Sea Shack", Mark McNulty’s debut children’s novel, is an example of how powerful and inspiring books can be. Through artful writing, Mark tells the tale of Andrew O’Brien. When his single father must go away on business, Andrew is forced to spend the summer with his grandfather on the shores of Cape Cod. He barely knows his grandfather and vows to make the summer a miserable one for everyone. He does not realize, however, that his grandfather has plans of his own. If “Grampy” has his way, Andy’s summer at the sea shack will be one that changes the boy’s life forever… Children and adults alike will embrace "The Sea Shack" as a touching story that strikes at their hearts with power and warmth. Through this remarkable tale, children will be highly entertained while they learn about ideals such as respect, loyalty, sacrifice, perseverance, and more. Andy’s story is one filled with strong, positive role models and lessons that apply to everyday life.

Beyond Beautiful - In Beyond Beautiful, rock stars Jenna Bradford and Scott Tenny managed to find love – perhaps the truest love either had ever experienced – in spite of the chaos of the worlds in which they lived. Hardly youngsters, these two arrived at the doors of love with complicated pasts and emotional baggage that would leave the sturdiest Cupid staggering.
Beyond Beautiful is the first book of The Song Trilogy.

SweetEmotions.gif

We rejoin Jenna and Scott as their frenzied lives careen off in new and equally unexpected directions. Both stars in their own rights, these lovers share lifestyles that make normal life and love difficult, if not impossible. Somehow amidst the madness that is musical fame, these two manage to find each other and meld their lives and their music into a harmony that is as sweet as it is undeniable. As Sweet Emotions opens, Jenna and Scott are excited to be expecting a child, which can only further deepen – and further complicate – their special relationship. They continue their struggle to attain a life and happiness together that each so richly deserves, one where bitter, difficult truths can be eclipsed by Sweet Emotions.

Sweet Emotions is Book two of The Song Trilogy.
