More Than Just A Name On A Knife


More Than Just A Name On A Knife


Brandishing the new knife that bore his name, Jim Bowie settled an old score with a Louisiana lawman on Sept. 19, 1827, and quickly packed his bags for Texas.

Sophi’s Shoe Fetish: Life, Love, and the Pursuit Of Femmetastique Shoes


FREDERICK, Md. PublishAmerica has recently released the first book by Penny Espinoza of Fort Worth, Sophi’s Shoe Fetish: Life, Love, and the Pursuit of Femmetastique Shoes.


Sophi Miller has loved fashionable shoes ever since she was a little girl playing in her mother’s closet. So it’s really no surprise to anyone when Sophi shows early promise of becoming a shoe designer. Success seems inevitable, her dreams well within reach, until tragic loss throws Sophi’s aspirations way off course.


Sophi inevitably regains her “passion for fashion” in The City of Light where she finds herself changing her image.and her name. In grand Paris, Sophi finds the offerings of a new life and love when she meets a rough-hewn Frenchman whose free-flowing good looks leave her charmed from the moment he says bonjour. Sophi Arriver­her sexier, more sophisticated alter-ego­seems ready to take on the world. But first.she must decide whether or not to take a chance on love.


Penny Espinoza grew up in Fort Worth, the youngest of six siblings. She began her writing career with the Clifton Record and Walnut Springs Express. She is the mother of two vivacious teenagers, the other half to one very patient man, a shoe-obsessed gardener, and an avid reader. This is her first novel.
