Coloring Book Released in New Series

The Coloring To Relax The Mind is an Adult Coloring Book that will help you to relax. Psychologists say that activities such as coloring which immerses us in one activity helps our mind and relaxes us. We all lead very busy lives with family, work commitments, health issues and much more. There is so much going on. We neglect the one thing we should not and that is ourselves. We need to MAKE time for ourselves. When we were children (and for some of us, that was some time ago), we found enjoyment in creating art by coloring. We spent many hours hunched over our coloring books with crayons (or pencils and/or markers). Time to get back to what gives us pleasure. Time to break out the pencils and start to relax and refresh ourselves by coloring.

Intertwined Souls Series Update

The Intertwined Souls Series has been very dear to my heart since 2001 when “In The Blood of the Greeks” was first published. For many years the only plan was to have two books in the series written and to end it there.

Sometimes we get more than we anticipated (or even thought we wanted) and this is true for my characters of Eva and Zoe. In 2014 Book 3 “Hidden Truths”, Book 4 “Awakenings” were published and in 2015 Book 5 “No Good Deed. They proved to be a change in direction for the series from purely historical romance to urban fantasy.

In my defense all I can say is that I had no control over my characters. You can blame Zoe for all of it! Eva just stayed quiet on the subject.

Since opening my own publishing company and publishing my own novels, I’ve decided to restructure the series and split them into two different genres – Historical Romance and Urban Fantasy.

Intertwined Souls Historical Romance:

Intertwined Souls Historical Romance Novellas

  • Volume 1: A Widgie Knight / Zoe's Journal

Intertwined Souls Urban Fantasy Series

No changes to the actual story-lines have been made, just the series name to reflect the change in genre.

Thank you,

Mary

Review: No Good Deed by Readers Favorite

New Five Star Review for No Good Deed!  

Reviewed by Jack Magnus for Readers' Favorite

No Good Deed: Intertwined Souls Series, Book 5 is an historical fantasy written by Mary D. Brooks. While this is the fifth book in the Intertwined Souls Series, the author includes enough background information to enable readers to enjoy No Good Deed on its own. The story is set in the early 1950s, in the aftermath of the Second World War. Eva and Zoe Lambros have returned to Sydney, Australia, after their involvement in the resistance. Eva has learned to her surprise that she is the heir to a considerable fortune, including the Muller family industry which she will head along with her uncle. The two women have been trying to begin a family; however, Zoe has not succeeded in becoming pregnant, and adoption is becoming something they are reluctantly considering. When a freak accident at Eva's workplace leaves her with a fractured skull and comatose, any other considerations are dropped as Zoe and the rest of their family wait for her recovery.

Mary D. Brooks' historical fantasy, No Good Deed: Intertwined Souls Series, Book 5 is well-written, impeccably researched and absorbing. I was most impressed by the author's ability to weave the women's story in with the historical backdrop of the war and the Nuremberg Trials. The flowering and impact of Eva's paranormal gifts, which have been passed along through her family for generations, is described in a sobering fashion with the past stories of her and her aunt's electro-shock therapy sessions in German asylums for the condition, adding another grim reminder of the costs of being considered ‘different' at that time in history. No Good Deed is a family saga that will delight fantasy and historical novel buffs alike. It's highly recommended.

Eva and Zoe Lambros continued their journey to Greece and Germany in the award winning Intertwined Souls Series book four. Eva and Zoe have come full circle and are back in the town where they met during World War II. Eva not only has to deal with her wartime memories in the place that despised her, but she also has to contend with a woman from the past, Theresa Mitsos, the quiet, gentle soul with extraordinary paranormal powers of visions through time. Who really is this woman and how could she foresee what is to be decades before they happened? Faced with a physical reminder of her tortured past, Eva’s courage, strength and resilience are brought to the fore. Zoe contends with her own harrowing memories and relives a day that shattered her soul but out of that dark memory there is light. In Germany they discover Eva’s haunted dreams are far more than they realized and an awakening of Eva’s paranormal abilities begin to surface. Shocking family secrets are revealed and an unexpected visitor will test Eva and Zoe’s strength and courage. Their lives are once again altered in ways neither of them expect and they are given a rare glimpse into their future.
