Author Bonnie Ridley Kraft

announces the release of a new novel

To Hold a Rainbow

book number three in the World Designs Ltd. Series

At the Three Frontiers area, where Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay come together in the dense rain forest, smuggling is rife. Drug lord Ramón Subizar is planning a major drug push on Christmas Eve at the borders. But the Gendarmería Nacional of Argentina intend to crash Subizar’s party. Add to the brew a volatile horse called Don Diego, a Buell motorcycle, a gypsy aeroplane pilot, and the drug lord with his new product of opium, and there is guaranteed to be an explosion.

From Dog Ear Publishing, To Hold a Rainbow follows The Kámen and The Long Way Home in the World Design Ltd. series.

Quote from an Amazon reviewer of The Long Way Home: “…one could tell while reading it that the author was familiar with the characters and locations from personal travel.”

Quote from an Amazon reviewer of The Kámen: “Could hardly wait for the next books to come out to see what was going to happen and where in the world the characters would go next.”

All three books are available from Amazon and from Barnes & Noble, in perfect bound or in eBook formats.  Direct links:

Looking for a Healthy Lifestyle? Call the Buenos Aires Life Centre!

Meet Jennifer Klueppel, owner of Buenos Aires Life Centre.  Jennifer wants to help you find centeredness.

Jennifer has lived in various cities throughout western Canada. This is her first time living outside of Canada and now she has been living in Buenos Aires for the last 3 years. She has traveled throughout South America, Europe, and North America.

Jennifer started the Buenos Aires Life Centre with Dina Samelis of Happy Sun Yoga. We wanted to create a community space of well being. We offer massage therapy, thai massage, reiki, yoga, pilates, and wholistic health counseling. She found it quite tricky to find work when she first arrived in Buenos Aires. Though she had always thought about starting my own business, moving to Buenos Aires made it seem like the perfect time to get started. After meeting with Dina they decided to join forces and combine a massage business with a yoga business.

We believe that everyone can get a healthy body, mind, soul and heart through balanced life choices. Follow a program of exercises and good nutrition that not only feeds your body but will manifest in a deeper level of well-being and allow you to grow more fully into your True Self.

We are happy to announce that the Buenos Aires Life Centre is now operating in Barrio Norte, French 2647, 5e.
