All the Books I have On Amazon the Genre and what inspired me to write them!
Author problems I keep forgetting I have multiple titles in multiple genres and here they are in one place so I don’t forget! I’m still waiting for the feedback and then I can republish with new covers and titles. I’m also waiting for the rest to get off Draft2Digital so I can get them into Kindle Unlimited. Here is a list so the stupid book marketers and fake authors plaguing me shut up.
Tales From Behind the Counter
Description: Angeline has been working at Kyle’s General Store for five years. She has seen it all: crazy, stupid and even mean customers torment her on a daily basis. She has worked in over five different departments with stories for each. There is a chapter where she gives advice on how to survive retail, and shares pet peeves for the departments she has worked in. Join her down memory lane as she tells her stories about crazy customers and the stupid questions they ask. Also, if you think the customer is always right then you’ve never worked at a place like Kyle’s before.
Angeline’s Gift has more stories too!
Inspiration: Working a shit retail job and dealing with asshole customers. I took notes on people who pissed me off and rude ass customers. The stories I have are real just names are changed!
Some reviewers say:
was expecting what I read on the websites ‘Not always right’ or ‘Retail Hell Underground’ however it was funny and good to read.
Both websites have taught me to be a better customer. And also appreciate and groan in understanding at the IT related customer moans. This book was a nice reminder of how to act in a shop. (If you need that reminder)
I found myself smiling at the author’s account of her retail hell. Thank you for sharing.
I cannot recommend this enough it is well written and paced and a real eye opener!

A Witchy Beginning Young Adult
Description: Scarlet Summers was just your ordinary high school student, and never knew her true heritage. Until her junior year which is when two sexy transfers came to her high school and turned her world upside down. She is a vampire witch which is rare in their world, and her best friend Annika her witch guardian will be there to watch her powers grow.
Inspiration: I love vampires and I wrote this in high school I’ll be continuing the series in Luxor academy stay turned.
Reviewers say!
When two new transfers come to Crystal Crest, Scarlet and her best friend/guardian Annika don’t know what to think of them. Scarlet and Annika are in for a surprise.
So I liked this book. It was a sweet, easy read. Annika and Scarlet had a pretty straightforward friendship. Even when Zion and Nathan made their appearance, the two girls looked out for one another. Their relationship was easy and believable. Scarlet was a strong MC, and I found myself rooting from her from the very first chapter.
The world of Crystal Crest is an interesting one with vampires, witches, and sometimes hybrids of the two. The scenery of the Realm was described in a way that made it easy to picture everything without standing in the way of the story.
If you’re looking for a cute YA vampire/witch story to pass the time, this is a good one.
A terrific read, great world building wonderful characters. It was a definite page. Turner must read, and I would definitely recommend this book.

Her life would take a turn into something she didn’t recognize after standing in that cold abyss. Everything she thought she knew about life would be nothing more than a question. And Hecate.
Felix was driving up the mountain when his car started to sputter. He pulled into an old turn-about with a small store off the mountain side road. He met a man who called himself Lord Pan and was given directions to a small village.
After going to the village, he learns that he’s got a mate waiting for him. His mate would challenge him and turn him into his true form. The only stipulation was that he could not seek out his mate.
Will Felix find the one who’s made for him or will he live a life of self-loathing torture?
Will Angeline stop questioning her life, or learn to live it freely?
Reviews!
“I don’t understand any of this.”
Angeline’s Gift by Jessica Samuels has got to be one of the strangest books I have ever read, and that’s a good thing. The book opens with a paranormal adventure story, with angels, witches, dragons, and the humans who interact with them. This first Act contains memorable dialogue, often evoking laughter and reflection simultaneously. At roughly one-third in, I became completely confused, until I came to my own conclusion that the book had transformed into the pseudo-memoir of a young woman’s journey as a department store employee, plagued by a tyrannical supervisor and all the other horrors of retail life. Those recollections also included the misery of dealing with a series of bad ex-boyfriends. The final Act switches back to an apocalyptic confrontation between the forces of good and evil. This book is truly a wild ride. The best characteristic of the author’s unique style is her ability to hilariously intermingle the supernatural with the mundane, ordinary life we all experience. That, in itself, is the memory I’ll take away from this entertaining gift, which I recommend you open.
“Home isn’t a place, but instead it’s a feeling where you belong.”
This is not the type of book that I normally read and I was pleasantly surprised. Jessica is very creative and leads you through the life of Angeline. The book is entertaining and picked my interest in reading more books by Jessica.

Reviews:
Ghost Reapers is interesting to say the least. Layla’s character is well rounded. I love her attitude. This book is fast paced and quite spicy and I’m really curious as to where book 2 will take Luxor.
Layla Firestar was a cool character. She can talk too and free ghosts. I don’t think I’ve ever read a book quite like this before. Can’t wait to read more of the series.
I’ve had the pleasure of reading this book, and let me tell you wow! The way Layla Firestar the main character finds her way through life and truth is inspiring. She’s a ghost hunter but she’s so much more than that. She finds out old family secrets that can either tear her life apart or make her stronger. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys supernatural stories. I’ve just gotten the second book and look forward to reviewing that as well.
That Layla Firestar never ceases to amaze me! An insurance rep by day and a ghost reaper by night. She can perform biblical miracles. Layla can transform ghosts from transparent back to human form!
Her passion is setting free the ghost who have been trapped by the evils of the world. However, she has to be able to survive her life on earth.
A vibrant paranormal read!

Reviews: Layla Firestar was getting ready for a good night sleep when a demon comes to take her head. He shows a hologram of who he’s after and he’s got the wrong woman! Layla has a lot on her plate. If she consumes a demon then she upsets the balance between good and evil. She can’t just let him walk all over her. She needs to transform herself into a new form….
Also please note one of the shit reviews was left by a stupid book marketer trying to sell their services.
