Release Blitz - Timeless Honor by Amber Daulton 

Jaye Ramsey decided to prove to her eccentric grandmother that time travel only existed in movies by vacationing in Bolivia with her friends. When she woke up in Hawksatter, England, 1735—the same town her grandmother supposedly vanished from as a young woman—Jaye found refuge at a hunting lodge but the strapping, reclusive baron who took her in reminded her all too well she was a lone woman at his mercy.
Accused of murdering his newly-wedded wife a decade earlier, Lord Lucas Kenway closed the family farm and shut out the world. He never expected the little spitfire he claimed responsibility for would turn his quiet life upside down. Pushed together by fate and his meddling servants, Lucas wanted Jaye on his own terms and refused to surrender his hardened heart. 
Then a mysterious wise man offered Jaye a way home.
Should she return to the future and the only life she’d ever known, or stay in an uncertain past as a stranger in a new world?

Sometimes waiting for love can seem like a lifetime, and for Janie it was a lifetime. In fact it took so long before her first passionate kiss that she questioned if she was even interested in men. Yet love had its own timeline. See what happens in The Right Kiss by Giulietta Spudich. The Monday Mystery Society has, again, kept its promise of sweet romance.

Format: Kindle Edition
Janie is in no hurry to fall in love. She's got other things on her mind: work, friendship, grieving for the loss of her parents. She wants that first kiss to be really special when it comes, worth waiting for.

The Art of Gustave Caillebotte


Paris Street, A Rainy Day 1877


Gustave Calliebotte  was a wealthy Frenchman whose personal art work has been ignored and largely forgotten until recently. An engineer by profession, he was fascinated with the Impressionist movement. He even organized and financed the Impressionist Exhibit in Paris in 1874, which included the works of Degas, Renoir, and Monet.


He was also one of the foremost racing yachtsman of his time. He designed and built his own boat line in attempt to improve performance with innovations like aerodynamic hulls and external ballasts.


He was largely dismissed as a serious artist because of his wealth, as his family made their fortune in the rebuilding of Paris high end real estate after the war. He bought many pieces of Impressionist art at ridiculously high priced at the time to help his fellow artists.

Some felt his works were a little too realistic to be included in the Impressionist movement.  He was criticized for his almost photographic quality in some of his works.


The Floor Scrapers 1875

When he passed away on February 21, 1894, he willed his vast collection of paintings to the State of France. Renoir was the executor of his estate. His collection was houses at the Luxembourg Museum for many years, then moved to the Louvre. Today it is housed at the Musee' d'Orsay.
