My Three Latest Novels

I've been asked to share a brief description of my three latest novels.  It's my first foray into e-publishing, but I'm thrilled that the prices are so low, making them accessible to even more readers.  They're available on Kindle for just peanuts, and also as paperbacks on Createspace.com for amazingly low prices as well.  These books are in three completely different genres and have three distinctly different voices. 
JUNGLE:
In this riveting adventure-romance that will appeal to Twilight fans (no vampires, I promise!), as well as to all readers, we meet Nina, a young college student who dreams of following in the footsteps of her uncle, a renowned anthropologist. She is beyond excited when her uncle tells her of an amazing opportunity to explore an uncharted island in the Indian Ocean. When Nina accidentally ventures into the deepest part of jungle, a bronzed hero magically leaps from the treetops to rescue her from a wild animal attack. And when she stares into his brilliant green eyes, she knows without a doubt that this is no ordinary tribesman. Spine chilling danger, cannibals, murder, and a romance beyond anything she’s ever imagined.
SISTERS IN THE MIX:
Kate is an obsessive compulsive woman with a cooking show. She screams when the paper towels don’t tear off straight, somehow gets chocolate to explode, and basically wreaks havoc in the kitchen. She’s funny and sarcastic, and viewers love her. Should a woman with hormone issues actually wield a frying pan? Kate compulsively paints out graffiti, corrects grammar on public signs, and tries not to embarrass her husband and three kids. She longs for the days when she created crossword puzzles for the local paper, and tries to convert her therapist into a word person. Still, her life is in relative control because she wisely moved far away from her life’s nemesis, her sister—a flamboyant artist and her polar opposite. In this laugh-out-loud novel, Kate’s life turns upside down when the very sister she despises suddenly moves in with her. Kate’s sense of family obligation and propriety keeps her from throwing Jackie out onto the street, but she makes lists of people she’d like to murder this afternoon, and Numbers One through Three are Jackie. How can Kate avoid spending the rest of her life in a padded cell?
PINHOLES INTO HEAVEN:
In this literary novel we meet Gavin Matheson, who grows up in the Midwest during the 40s, 50s and 60s. His mother, Lila, is a war widow and raises Gavin to be the kind of man Gavin imagines his father was. Hopetown is both a place and a time of innocence-- or is it? Gavin sees his home through the gauzy lens of boyhood dreams until poverty, racism, pride, betrayal, and murder shatter its image forever. But Gavin fulfills a promise and finds that honor and love lead to triumph, and hope travels with him, in his heart.
If you get a chance to read these, I hope you'll enjoy them.  And please leave reviews online, and tell your friends about them.  Find the books at amazon.com/author/jonihilton.
