About the Book

In the quaint Australian country town of Warbol, a faded B-grade actress, Faith Farmer, dares to dream again. With a heart full of passion and a pocketful of savings, she revives the local cinema, The Rex, and invites the community to fall in love with the Golden Age of Hollywood.

As the silver screen flickers to life, the townspeople find themselves swept up in a world of romance, drama, and laughter. Jock, a handsome country vet, finds the courage to leave his unhappy marriage and pursue his heart's desire. Charlotte, a former nun, discovers a new sense of purpose and love. And Faith, well, she finds a second chance at stardom–and love–in the unlikeliest of ways.

Join Faith and the lovable residents of Warbol as they laugh, cry, and fall in love. With its colorful cast of characters, charming small-town setting, and a healthy dose of old-school Hollywood glamor, this delightful romantic comedy will capture your heart and leave you smiling long after the credits roll.

When Vice-President Amelia Swanson asks them to oversee a stay at the hotel by the Italian Ambassador to the United Nations in New York City and his family, Ann and Rhonda hope this won’t mean another problem for The Beach House Hotel. Enrico Ferrara, his wife, Catarina, and his daughter, Philippa, arrive at the hotel at the same time a young chef, Chet Waring, and a friend, Harper Lewis, seek employment at the hotel after being unfairly booted from the Miami restaurant scene by a notorious, difficult chef. The same chef, Jonny Arno, is opening an Italian restaurant close to The Beach House Hotel to compete directly with them. All of these people, and a few more, come together to create a recipe for danger, love, and loyalty.

About the Author

 Judith Keim, A USA Today Best-Selling Author, is a hybrid author who both has a publisher and self-publishes. Ms. Keim writes heart-warming novels about women who face unexpected challenges, meet them with strength, and find love and happiness along the way, stories with heart. Her best-selling books are based, in part, on many of the places she's lived or visited and on the interesting people she's met, creating believable characters and realistic settings her many loyal readers love.

She enjoyed her childhood and young-adult years in Elmira, New York, and now makes her home in Boise, Idaho, with her husband and their adorable dachshunds, Wally and Kacy, and other members of her family. 

While growing up, she loved the idea of writing stories from a young age. Books were always present, being read, ready to go back to the library, or about to be discovered. All in her family shared information from the books in general conversation, giving them a wealth of knowledge and vivid imaginations. 

Ms. Keim loves to hear from her readers and appreciates their enthusiasm for her stories, including the eight children's book she has written under J.S. Keim

This morning, I have a non-fiction book in our book teaser spotlight! Learn about Motive and author Joe Strazzeri, Esq. Be sure to enter for a chance to win a prize in the book tour giveaway! 

Meet the Invisible Guest in your wealth-biased relationships

Publication Date: October 10, 2025

Publisher: Serapis Bey Publishing

Packed with uncommon insights, boots on the ground exercises, and real client stories, you will emerge from the experience with a profound exhale of relief, and practical steps to make the journey from friction to ease. 

Read an Excerpt

In the pages that follow, I have endeavored to create more of an experience than a traditional book. Some people will power through attempting a quick read, and others will find the popcorn of a new idea in the pauses we have carefully infused throughout. 

Each chapter offers deep thinking exercises, audio overviews of our counseling concepts, and real client stories. In our decades of counseling and teaching families and advisors, we know that personal interaction with the material has a dramatic effect on the depth of influence, and the speed and durability of progress. Beyond reading or hearing a presentation, this deeper engagement helps families chip away at change. If you are holding an actual 3D book, versus an e-book, you’ll find blank journal pages at the back on which to capture your thinking from the exercises. If you don’t have a hard copy, you’ll want to allocate a notebook or journal to do the work.

Nicholas La Cour, haunted by his family’s turbulent legacy, is thrust back into a battle he thought he’d left behind when his old nemesis, Dante Channing, resurfaces. Alongside the enigmatic group known as the Whispers, Dante brings with him a threat that could shatter the fragile balance the La Cour and Deville family has fought so hard to restore.

Will passion and loyalty triumph, or will the La Cour and Deville family be consumed by forces they can no longer control? And can Nicholas La Cour protect his family from the nemesis of his past?

  A heartwarming rhyming story that teaches kids the power of kindness, confidence, and self-acceptance.

In You Don’t See What I See, children meet a group of charming animals who feel insecure about their unique traits.

● Encourages Positive Self-Talk – Shows how kind words can change negative thoughts into uplifting ones. 

● Builds Confidence & Resilience – Inspires young readers to believe in themselves and appreciate their strengths.

● Perfect for Families & Classrooms – A wonderful read-aloud that sparks conversations about self-worth, kindness, and emotional growth. 

● For Ages 4–8 – Ideal for preschool through early elementary school children. 

Whether at bedtime, in the classroom, or as part of social-emotional learning, You Don’t See What I See is a book children will want to read again and again—while carrying its life-changing message with them forever.

Through raw honesty and lyrical rhythm, Tut Yashar explores themes of love, loss, injustice, silence and happiness. At its heart, this book reflects the emotional reality of abuse—not only the pain itself but also the loneliness, judgment, and shame that often follow. Each poem is both confession and release, inviting readers to feel seen, validated, and less alone in their own struggles. 

Domestic Silence is not just about one story—it is about many. It speaks to anyone who has felt trapped, silenced, or invisible, whether by circumstances, relationships, or society. It reminds us that healing is possible, that freedom can be reclaimed, and that our voices deserve to be heard. 

Whether you are a survivor, an ally, or someone seeking deeper understanding of the human condition, this book offers hope, comfort, courage, and connection.

 Tut Yashar is a poet and advocate for self-fulfillment whose words shine a light on the hidden corners of the human experience. With a background in law, finance and operations, she blends analytical precision with raw emotional honesty to create poetry that resonates deeply with readers. Writing has been her lifelong companion, a source of healing, and a way to transform pain into strength. 

Her work explores themes of freedom, resilience, love, and the silent struggles we often carry alone. Tut’s poetry speaks to anyone who has ever felt unseen, unheard, or silenced—reminding them that they are not alone and that healing is possible. Domestic Silence is her debut published collection, and she is also the author of two forthcoming poetry books. Through her writing, Tut strives to inspire readers to embrace their voice, reclaim their power, and discover self-fulfillment in the face of life’s challenges.
