The year is 3033, and deep in the bowels of the underground galactic prison, something has gone terribly wrong. An artist at heart, Rhonda never wanted this medic prison job. When the civilian personnel vanish and an earthquake damages the nuclear reactor, she must go down to repair it with Captain Perfect himself, Cole Riggeur, who always plays by the rules and never trusted a woman in his life. But deep in the underground penitentiary, the most wicked convicts in the Galaxy are loose, and a treacherous shape-shifter plans his revenge. Disconnected from the Garrison, against impossible odds, Cole and Rhonda now face their greatest challenge... trusting each other in order to survive.

Friends Forever by Maryann Miller
Eppie Awards Finalist
Debbie Webly is terrified that she will lose Laura to the influence of Angie who is rich, beautiful, and the most popular girl in school. There’s not much Debbie won’t do to hang on to her friend, but will she cross some line that she can never come back from?
And what about Brad? Does she even stand a chance with him?
The challenges mount when Debbie is tempted to commit social suicide by taking up for Stephanie who is even more of an outcast than she is. When Angie makes a surprising move, Debbie finds out that true friendship is based on much more than looks or popularity.
“FRIENDS FOREVER beautifully captures the pain and confusion of early adolescence. Young readers will identify with Debbie and her friends. Older readers will remember and smile. It is a delightful book. I highly recommend it.” - Four and a half stars, Carrie S. Masek, Sharpwriter Reviews
“Ms. Miller captures the trials and tribulations of 13 year-olds very easily. She talks their lingo and keeps the book interesting with enough twists and surprises to keep younger readers turning the pages to the very end.” - Pam Stone, Myshelf Reviews
“Miller’s book accomplishes what few others in this genre do. She effectively combines humor, true life feelings, and interesting dialogue in a novel about peer pressure.” ~ Aimee McLeod, Wordweaving Reviews

Laugh, love, and cry with these girls in their teens. Slip into their lives and experience the ups and downs. If the sun smiles upon a rain shower, a rainbow appears.

"This book could be very helpful to any teen, whatever the situation. A young girl reading this book might realize the importance of making correct choices because it’s written by someone her age. If No Rain, No Rainbows, helps one young person it would be well worth the read.
I feel the author captures the attention of young ladies by the topics in this book, as well as the publisher in the book cover. The front cover makes you want to take a look at the book to see what it is about, and the books chapters spike interest because of the different topics. I recommend this book not only to all pre-teen and teen girls but their parents as well. There is a lot of information as well as wisdom in this fiction book, and it is a great read, too!" ~ Manic Readers, 4 Stars
