Five Minutes on Charles Street
It happened in just five minutes . . .
Saraphina Landry-Shay is an independent, smart, “stupid-happy” New York lawyer on a mission to bring justice to the wrongly imprisoned. But on her very first solo case, she is barely able to stay upright in her power chic stilettos. Continually distracted by the vibrant characters of the West Village, Charles Street apartment, and her dashing boss Lance Vega, Saraphina must decide if she wants to maintain her illusion of happy while simultaneously watching her life run wildly out of control. When some of her quirks prove costly and real danger is the threat, Saraphina must choose between her idea of happy or the consequences of her misguided, feeble control—choices that could very well cost the happiness or lives of herself and the people she has come to love.

Stolen Jesus: An Unconventional Search for the Real Savior
Raised in the Mormon church, Jami Amerine was excommunicated for apostasy before she was even old enough to be baptized. This experience left her curious about all things religious and set her on a path that would introduce her to many apparitions of Jesus over the years.
It wasn’t until Jami stole a portrait of Jesus from a local YMCA storage closet and gave Him a home on her mantel that she began to ponder why the bad stuff of religion tends to stick the hardest. In Stolen Jesus Jami sets out to strip all her preconceived notions of Jesus to discover His genuine character. In doing so she discovers the real Jesus when she stops trying to fit Him in a box and allows Him to be her all-in-all.

Praise for Jami Amerine
“It takes good writing to hold my attention. I only read authors who entertain me, share authentically, impart deep wisdom and are relatable. Jami Amerine is every bit of this and more. She’s every woman, and I find my story in hers with each word she writes. Who else can find herself cleaning sticky floors one minute and in the backseat of a cop car the next? She’s my kind of girl, and I’ll read anything she writes. You should too.”
