Signs That Might Be Omens by Billie HintonNovember Hill PressBingham Wade lives a solitary life. He leaves his mountain cabin rarely, mostly to do private contract work finding lost children. Cynical and lonely, bound by regret to the past, a photo of a lost girl with curly red hair forces him to his porch in the middle of the night, where he searches the internet for a woman he lost twenty years ago.
Claire Caviness is married and owns an art gallery in Savannah. When she returns to NC for a funeral, things begin to happen: she inherits money, buys a big handsome horse, reconnects with her father, and suddenly, things she lost in the past return to her.
Signs That Might Be Omens, book two in the Claire Quartet, is a story of love, loss, and illumination.
Signs is a #1 Smashwords bestseller.
PRAISE FOR SIGNS THAT MIGHT BE OMENS:
"What happens when one casually reads a sample of Billie Hinton's SIGNS THAT MIGHT BE OMENS? What happens is two days later the entire book is consumed in a big greedy gulp. Hinton's characters rise off the page full bloom and real, their movements through life raw, ripping out emotion without over-sentimentality. There is passion, need, desire, and sex - fingers scorched, the page corners curling in upon themselves, blackening to near ash from the heat.
Hinton's equine characters touch a hidden ancient core that wishes to ride until there is nothing or no one else but horse and woman. Such is the power of a woman's words and life and love - such is the power of a well-written, well-wrought novel."
-Kathryn Magendie, publishing editor of Rose & Thorn, author of TENDER GRACES, SECRET GRACES, FAMILY GRACES, SWEETIE, and the novella PETEY.
"Billie Hinton's writing is both elegant and direct, lyrical and raw. Her command of words is second only to the depth of her characters, who are at the same time beautifully heroic and yet tragically flawed. Hinton is a soon-to-be-discovered gem, a talented voice from the American South."

Warriors: Omen of the Stars #4: Sign of the Moon by Erin HunterHarperCollins The end of the stars draws near. Three must become four to battle the darkness that lasts forever. . . . The dark forces that have driven a rift between the four warrior Clans are growing stronger. Jayfeather, Lionblaze, and Dovepaw now know that unless they can unravel the true meaning behind the prophecy that binds them, the warrior code could be destroyed forever. While Lionblaze remains focused on protecting ThunderClan from another deadly battle, Jayfeather receives a desperate plea for help from the Tribe of Rushing Water. He must travel to the mountains in search of answers that link the Clans to the Tribe in ways no cat could have imagined. But with the summons comes an ominous warning that suggests the power of the stars may not be enough to save the Clans. The Sign of the Owl by Richard A. ZagranskiWhen Kathy Willoughby and her dog Mack start out on a quest to recover a valuable historical artifact, they never count on the forces working against their success. From the very first moment they set foot on the island that she will use as the base for the exploration, they are being stalked by shadowy figures bent on their destruction. As Kathy tries to unravel the centuries old secret of three words left behind by a dead Native American, she doesn’t realize that she has become the hunted instead of the hunter. The artifact has the power to rewrite history and correct injustice, so it is a threat to many people who would stand to lose substantial amounts of money and power. The attempts on her life increase by the moment forcing her to face the decision to go on or go away. Even her dog begins to become frightened by the ordeal when he, too, is attacked and almost drowned. A wide range of suspects appear on the island, but only one has the real motive to want Kathy dead. Is it the mysterious old lady who supposedly visits the island for old bones to put in her elixir or her hulking son who has his eyes set on an old musket buried among the pines? Perhaps it’s the deputy director who reluctantly gave her permission to go to the island in the first place, or is it the person behind the binoculars that flash from shore? And what about the two men who almost discover her hiding place on the island? The reader is taken on a wild roller coaster ride of action, adventure, and suspense as Kathy uses her wits and cunning to reveal the true culprit…but is it too late? The Sign of the Owl is a hundred page novella that takes the reader on a journey of discovery as the past comes back to bite the present and the future.
