4.8 stars and only a $1.99!!

Liam’s formative years were far from normal. When he was six, there was a huge fire that involved his childhood friend, piles of dry leaves and a box of wooden matches. This horrific past won’t leave him alone. Literally.

Secrets that should have burned away long ago have haunted him for years and ruined his childhood.

Demons want him dead.

Voices beckon to him in the night.

At the brink of insanity, Liam heads back to confront the ghosts of his past and gain control of his life.

Every step of the way something evil is trying to stop him.

This dark coming of age journey reveals a truth more horrifying than the huge fire he lived through as a child.

A truth that threatens many lives.

What people are saying:
“Top marks to the great imagination of this author!"

"I truly love the storyline of this novel"

I've reduced the price of "Forbidden The Stars" to $.99 in anticipation of the sequel, which looks to be ready for release by mid-December. Most channels have changed the price already, and the rest should follow suit in the next few days or weeks.

I hope everyone who partakes enjoys the story!

I'm a proud sister as my Brother-in-Law has just published his first book:

Lauren Ipsum

"Lauren Ipsum had been lost in the woods all morning. The poor girl didn’t know where she was or where she was going.

It all started with an argument..."

If you like The Phantom Tollbooth, give this a try.

Rubies and Other Gems - the Novel

Lily’s life isn’t going well. Her husband is clueless; her children are rudderless. It's little wonder she seeks comfort in her dreams, unaware that her grandmother’s rubies have transported her back through time to a safer, saner existence.

When she learns that her dream lover is not a dream after all, but a real man who lived and died years before she was born, family problems mount. Because she can’t repair the damage from the past, she vows to stay in the here and now. She almost succeeds when she accidentally sends herself back in time without her return ticket, the rubies.

"RUBIES AND OTHER GEMS is an enjoyable read of a modern woman's struggles to find out what she really wants in life.” Debra Martin of Two Ends of the Pen.

Serendipity House. Now with new cover and new price.

A runaway bride and the PI hired to find her get more than they bargained for at a rundown country inn filled with senior citizens.

Meg Kinsella of The Romance Studio says, "Joyce DeBacco has done a wonderful job of dealing with such deep emotional issue as mother-daughter conflicts. She does an excellent job in making you both see and feel with the heroine who feels she has never made her mom happy. We have all had the experiences she describes so accurately in the book. This book deals with all the different interpersonal relationships we have and we see Sylvie grow and become a stronger better person through these relationships. I really enjoyed this book even when I was cringing from reading some of the conversations between mother and daughter. I felt a bit like I was sitting in the corner listening."

Where Dreams are Born, an e-book or print book from a small publisher.

It was supposed to be a win-win situation—a safe environment in which to raise a son for single mom Vicky, housekeeping and childcare for widowed Jack. Neither one wants or expects anything more. Life, however, has more in store than either one imagines.

"Where Dreams Are Born is a well-written romantic novel with elements of suspense. Writing is fresh and evocative, highly readable and interesting. Characterization is good, dialogue flows well, and the story was compelling enough to keep my attention and pique my curiosity about what would happen next." Corina of Big Al's Books & Pals.

Sometimes we wish we could stop the clock and rewind time. Maybe to savor a happy moment, take back words spoken in haste, or fulfill an ambition. Other times we want to turn the clock ahead, hopeful of better times or fortunes. Midnight and Holding is a collection of stories reflecting those desires. A mix of humor, pathos, and serious observations in approximately 12,000 words.

Midnight and Holding is currently FREE at most online bookstores. See if my writing style suits your taste before you invest more time and money in my novels.
