"Elsi Abebe's Grandma’s Humongous Suitcase is a wonderful story which reminded me very fondly and even sadly about my grandmothers, my paternal and maternal grandmas. Fondly because of how much I loved sitting at the bottom of their feet and listening to their stories; which I sucked in and absorbed like a sponge. Sadly because I have so many questions still, to ask them NOW, but they are gone. Children, those lucky enough to still have their grandmas, should love and appreciate them, find time to spend with them and ask them lots of questions, your family's history and culture, and I promise you, out of 'Grandma's big suitcase', lots of wisdom that you will remember years later when YOU too are grandmas. I recommend this wonderful book strongly." Her Excellency Ambassador Konji Sebati (former South African Ambassador to Switzerland and France.) "Grandma’s Humongous Suitcase is a heart warming children’s story book that you can read to your kids. Elsi has figured out a way to educate children and adult alike about the rich history of Ethiopia through the eyes of a precocious young Ethiopian American girl. In this easy to read account of the universal bond between grandparents and grandchildren, Elsi has managed to weave together a tale of love, pride and history that is flavored in humor. I for one look forward to reading about 'Konjo’s' time with grandma during their summer break!" Dr.Ebba K. Ebba Pediatrician “ Grandma’s Humongous Suitcase is a very well written story that introduces children to the land that their parents came from or to the country that they were born. As every item in the suitcase connects the children with their own history and culture, the tale also shows the love and affection that connects grandparents to their grandchildren. Even though this is Elsi Abebe's first children's book, it reads as if she has done it many more times as the stories she told her own two children." Elias Wondimu Publisher/Social Activist "Grandma’s Humongous Suitcase, is a beautiful story which makes kids born from Ethiopian parents to be proud of being of Ethiopian descent. It tells why Ethiopian and Ethiopian-American children should love and appreciate Ethiopia, her history and culture. Indeed out of the big suitcase of grandma come out nice things which excite children in general. Elsi Abebe , being a mother herself, knows things which enchant kids. She describes them in a simple and understandable language. This book will be educational and entertaining to many children. I commend it strongly." Fikre Tolossa, Ph. D. Poet-playwright “ When I was a child living in Ethiopia and visiting in the United States, I found that American teachers and students--and my own relatives and new friends--knew almost nothing about the beautiful country where I'd lived since I was two years old. How sad! I want everyone to read and share 'Grandma's Humongous Suitcase' so that people on many continents will understand more about the culture and traditions of Ethiopia.” Jane Kurtz is an award-winning children's book author of thirty books, including Fire on the Mountain, Faraway Home, Saba: Under the Hyena's Foot, and Trouble "I really enjoyed reading 'Grandma’s Humongous Suitcase' by Elsi Abebe. I read many stories to children at the Stanley British Primary School. They will love this story. It depicts how important it is for children who are brought up in a different country from their parents to understand their own family culture and be proud of their heritage. My husband and I brought our four children to U.S.A. from England, when they were small. Grandma's rare visit was vitally important." Carolyn Hambidge Founder of Stanley British Primary School

Somewhere along the way in life, you start to listen to that little voice. We are all on this journey together, growing, learning, and changing. As I stood in the kitchen of my dream home, looking out on the still water of the pond, I cried. Warm, salty tears streamed down my face as I told myself I could do this. "Just start with one box; don't get overwhelmed. Pack one box; stay focused." I started packing Grandma's china first. As I packed the china set, a flood of memories came of the countless times I had carefully wrapped up each piece and placed them into the box. It was at that moment that I decided to write about this beautiful set of china, all the experiences and lessons I have learned along my journey. It is through my grandmother's journey that I have found my own strength and freedom. Twenty years and thirteen moves later, the china is the only set of dishes I own. When was the last time you used your china? What are you waiting for? Don't leave it locked up, waiting for a special occasion. Make today the special occasion you have been waiting for. In loving memory of my Grandma, Veronica Billetz (January 13, 1922-December 13, 2009)

These handsome dirt bike racers each meet the girl of their dreams. The Team Loco trilogy is a series of flirty, upper Young Adult contemporary romances. No cliffhangers, and all have a happily ever after. BOOK ONE: Taming Zach She never meant to fall for someone she can’t have. He never meant to let her. Bree Grayson may have graduated high school in her small Tennessee hometown, but she never got to leave it. She works as a maid with her mom and flags at the local motocross track on the weekends. It’s good money but it won’t get her out of Hopewell. She’s determined to make something of herself, but she’d settle for something—anything to get her out of this rut. Zach Pena’s notorious motocross fame crashed and burned as quickly as he had risen to the top. He let the fame get to his head and the partying and girls took over his life. Now he’s off the race team. Determined to get back into the sport he loves, he moves back home to spend the summer focusing solely on motocross. Girls are off the menu. And then he runs into Bree. She’s gorgeous and sweet and everything he shouldn’t have this summer. He doesn’t recognize her as the girl from his childhood, but Bree knows exactly who Zach is. She’s only had a crush on him forever. She knows he’s a womanizer and too hot for his own good, but he’s fun. Bree doesn’t expect to fall for someone she can’t have. And Zach doesn’t expect to be pulled back into his world of fame before the summer is over. Will Bree finally be the girl to tame his wild ways? Or will their romance crash and burn? BOOK TWO: Alluring Aiden "It’s just six weeks. Or forever. You choose.” Aiden is supposed to be traveling the country with his professional motocross racing team. He isn’t supposed to break his wrist over summer and be benched for the whole fall season. He definitely isn’t supposed to find himself falling for a hometown girl who loves dirt bikes as much as he does. And when her boyfriend cheats on her, he probably shouldn’t agree to be her fake boyfriend just to piss him off. But Aiden has never been good at doing the right thing. Jenn’s relationship just fell apart. She thought she’d had it all: a hunky motocross racer boyfriend, an awesome job at her dad’s shop, and a promising career as a physical therapist on the horizon. Then it all falls apart, leaving her broken and hopeless. A fake relationship might get back at her ex, but there’s something in the way Aiden looks at her that doesn’t feel very fake at all. BOOK THREE: Captivating Clay Clay Summers has a reputation for being a jerk. He was one of the youngest teenagers to be signed to Team Loco, a professional motocross racing team, and he knows it’s because of his dedication to the sport. Clay doesn’t have time for friends, family, or girlfriends. Autographs and publicity stunts annoy him to no end. All he wants to do is ride his dirt bike. Avery Dunn just graduated high school and she has no idea what to do next. Tired of living in her small town, she dreams of traveling the world and getting paid to do it. So when the perfect internship with Team Loco comes around, she’ll do whatever it takes to keep her spot on the team so she can travel the country as they go to races each week. Team Loco is determined to have a family friendly image, and Avery’s number one job is to make Clay become a team player with their fans. If she doesn’t get him to sign autographs, takes pictures, and smile more, she’ll be out of a job. She’s spent enough time with Clay to know there’s a little softness underneath his intimidating exterior, and before she knows it, she’s starting to fall for him. Little does Avery know, Clay might be falling for her, too.

From the winner of the 1989 National Book Award (for Spartina), a major new novel--wise, sad, and richly comic--about the meltdown of a marriage against the backdrop of a gloriously awful congressional campaign. Charlottesville, Virginia, 1978: Mike is a successful forty-something lawyer, a onetime congressional staffer who's had it with Washington; Joss, his wife, is a filmmaker. They're Virginia liberals with a clan of close-knit friends--a bright, edgy, flirty, games-playing group, spinning like a Catherine wheel around Mike and Joss. But the sparks that fly between the two are getting hotter and more dangerous, as Joss' restlessness turns to impatience and then anger. When one of the group introduces them all to the woman he wants to marry, things suddenly explode--this new arrival and Joss fall passionately in love, and their whole world careens out of control. What ensues is tragicomedy, as Mike tries to allay his rage and misery by letting himself get sucked into a trial run for a seat in Congress. He wants to be a hero to someone; instead he becomes the unwitting star of a political farce. Meantime, Joss is struggling with her new life, and their two young daughters (who form a lovingly unmerciful Greek chorus commenting on the action) have to navigate a turmoil in which one parent is a public joke and the other a private scandal. Rarely has the undoing of love been chronicled with such large-hearted humanity.

One clueless queen-to-be, sent to a magical world she didn’t know existed, five lovers waiting for her prophesied arrival. Before her vital first cup of coffee in the morning, Litha finds out she’s a witch and is suddenly transported to a magical world she had no idea existed. As if that wasn’t strange enough, it turns out that she’s prophesied to be queen, and her parents only took her to the human world to protect her from those who want to stop the prophecy from happening. The prophecy tells of a queen who will marry the ‘true king’ to unite all four kingdoms under his rule, finally bringing peace for the first time in centuries. The four princes who could become her king? They’re all hot as hell and make her insides squirm each time she sees them. There’s Bane, the werewolf prince, all broody and with hair sticking up like he just got out of bed. Kit, the incubus prince, whose wicked smile melts anyone’s unmentionables. Rune, the dragon prince, protective and with muscles like he’s a moving mountain. And last, but definitely not least, Finn, the fae prince, quiet but intense, with eyes like a summer forest. And to make things even more complicated, when Litha finally meets her roommate, Phoenix, the only daughter of the highest priestess of the witches, she doesn’t want to do anything but kiss the redhead silly. The first day at the Academy is a little bumpy, as Litha feels so lost in this new world, but that pales in comparison to finding out her parents had to go into hiding, the documents of the prophecy having been stolen from the Academy just days before and that some of the princes have been keeping secrets which could be their undoing before anything even starts… This is a collection of the first set of three novellas, Prophecy, Curiosity and Duality in the Lughnasadh Elite Academy serial, a reverse harem #WhyChoose story. These novellas may include any of the following elements: steamy scenes, ‘I need tissues NOW’ moments, cries of ‘why, oh, why’ and cliffhangers that make you bite your nails (and curse the author). This story includes MF, MM and also FF scenes, but everyone is primarily focused on Litha and there are no sexy scenes between the guys and the other girl.

But now she’s at Lughnasadh Elite Academy and face to face with her four potential… kings?

According to the prophecy, Litha will marry the true ruler of the four kingdoms. But having grown up human, in the human world, she has no idea where to start making sense of all of it, and the four princes pursuing her really don’t help with trying to figure it all out.
