Love Changes In Many Ways

Audible Link

Amazon Link

Second chances are possible but only if the lies and compromises are gone.

Martin had lost his first wife and daughter in a horrible car accident and it took him years to fight the sadness he woke up with every day. When he met Elaine everything changed. He married her and their new life made Martin forget all the pain. Once again life was good.

After feeling such happiness the second time around Martin never expected tragedy to once again be knocking at his door, but it had. If Martin had known the truth about Elaine's past he would have been able to help her but her fear of the truth became her reality and the fact that they loved each other didn't seem to be enough. Elaine came up with a solution she thought would be for the best. Martin went along with her plan but it put him in a compromised position and very unhappy, but he loved his wife so much he agreed to live her lie.

The stakes were very high but Martin thought in time he could change her mind but as the years passed the only thing that changed was Elaine. She became withdrawn and uneasy and finally when things got out of hand and Martin couldn't control anything that happened it was a downward spiral and everything they had worked to achieve began to crumble.

Could Martin save his wife from herself? Would Elaine let that happen?

For love, Martin would do anything and Elaine loved him for that, but would that be enough?

ABOUT SMASHWORDS

*****  MARK’S LIST  ****

Low Cost Ebook Formatting and Cover Design

Latest update:  March 16, 2015

This list is divided into two sections:  Ebook formatters and Ebook cover designers.

The professionals on this list are freelancers.  You’re hiring the freelancer, not Smashwords. Most are fellow Smashwords authors. We make this list available to you as a public service. We do not collect or accept referral fees or commissions from these service providers, and cannot warrant the quality of their work.

Please pay the service provider in advance via PayPal.

We recommend you consider these service providers only for the specialty category of service under which they're listed.

Feel free to report your experiences (positive or otherwise) back to Mark Coker of Smashwords at first initial second initial at smashwords.com.  The service providers may also report back to Mark, so please be professional and follow the instructions below.

To expedite communications with your chosen provider, add them to your email’s white list (a.k.a. "safe list") so reply emails don’t go to your spam folder.

If Smashwords formatting or cover design requirements change in the future, and your ebook requires modification, it is not the responsibility of the service provider or Smashwords to revise your book for you.

***************
HOW TO CHOOSE AN EBOOK FORMATTING PROVIDER
***************

Most formatters will assure your placement in the Smashwords Premium Catalog for distribution to retailers listed here: http://smashwords.com/distribution

Review the Smashwords Style Guide to learn how ebook formatting is different from print formatting (ebooks cannot and should not look like a facsimile of the print book, for example).  If you don’t have the time, skills or patience to implement the Style Guide, then hire from this list.

Novels, narrative non-fiction and narrative with images produce the highest quality ebooks at Smashwords. Novels are the easiest to format. Some formatters charge more for non-fiction, images and linked Tables of Contents (ToCs) due to greater complexity.

Email your chosen provider your complete manuscript as a Word document, and ask them to estimate their fee.

Please note that "formatting" is very different from editing.  Formatters do not perform editing, copy editing or proofreading because it is not their responsibility. If your book is filled with gross typographic errors, Smashwords cannot accept it into the Premium Catalog, even if the formatting is perfect.

Do not ask the formatter to upload your file to Smashwords for you. You must do this yourself (it's easy!). Click here for instructions.

Listen to No Clues No Shoes

Listen to No Clues No Shoes

Addison is feeling lonely because he has just moved into a new neighborhood, and then he meets Emelina. At first, they have nothing in common and didn't see eye to eye on anything.

 Addison likes to read and write stories inside, and Emelina likes to be outdoors, jogging, skating, and just about anything that keeps her active. 

She likes healthy food and Addison has a sweet tooth. A few weeks after they meet, they are surprised to find out that they both signed up for Jr.Detective School. They end up teaming up to solve their first case - a classmate's shoes have disappeared. With very little to go on, Emelina and Addison try to find the shoes. A friendship develops between the two of them when they solve the first of many cases.

 

This is a great way to hear books !
