The fate of Segmimn’s School of Sorcery hangs in the balance and Astrid is determined to tip the scales.
 
In the mystical mountain town of Quincy, California, Astrid Saunders is the most beloved professor at Segmimn’s School of Sorcery. She manages to champion students and teachers alike while deftly keeping herself out of the spotlight.

But when her childhood friend-turned-rival, Claudia, is charged with murder, Astrid can’t shake the feeling she didn’t do it, and no matter how badly she’d like to see Claudia eat a slice of humble pie, she just can’t walk away.
Speaking up for a spoiled princess will put all eyes on Astrid, and right in the middle of the drama she despises.

All the clues point to Claudia, but something isn’t right. There are too many secrets surrounding the people involved, and those people go too high up for Astrid to be content with simple answers.

She’s going to prove Claudia was framed because if she can’t, Segmimn’s will be embroiled in scandal, be forced to close its doors, and Astrid will lose the closest family she’s ever known.
With so much at stake, it’s going to take everyone working together to solve the puzzle. Rag-tag students, a cranky old sorceress, and even Astrid’s intuitive dog find a way to help. The detective assigned to the case is trying to keep it professional despite the chemistry he feels with Astrid,

And Astrid, well, she’s in the middle⏤the reluctant champion of a fight she didn’t choose but one she can’t afford to lose.

I’ve lived a full life: travel, jill-of-all-trades job hopping, and a few different degrees. Now that I'm in midlife, I don't see any reason to slow down. In fact, I might take it up a notch!

I'm a slash/career professional: leadership coach, cozy mystery author, and community health nurse. I'm a widow who finally remarried (after 11 years; good men are hard to find) and a single mom of two beautiful adults. I live in a quaint PNW town nestled between the mountains and the ocean, and my favorite food cycles between Japanese, Mexican, Brazilian, and Middle Eastern.

There's no end to what our beautiful world has to offer, and I'm going after all of it. How 'bout we go together?

Let the story begin!

Dawn: The Enchanters Book One by Mark Wylie

Don’t you just hate it when you lose your temper and wake up on another planet?

Christian Stone is having a bad day. It wasn’t enough that the global corporation he works for blamed his team for a data breach in the most important programme on Earth. Or that he had to travel halfway across the world to try and clear their name. But when tragedy strikes, and they accuse him of that as well, Chris loses it, with unexpected—and unexplainable—results.

He wakes on another world, at the Dawn Academy, where he is invited to train, to develop and to control what they call his Gift. There’s just one catch. You can’t leave until you pass the Grading.

Chris soon finds that there are dark forces determined to keep him on Dawn, to prevent him from returning to Earth to shape its destiny. He must do all he can to leave, before it is too late to save the world.

Dawn is the first book in the science fantasy series The Enchanters. If you like magic and alien worlds, a dystopian future and fantastic monsters, galactic prophecies and killer tech, then you’ll love Mark Wylie’s page turning new novel.

Start this fantastic galaxy-spanning series today! Dawn is FREE from April 2nd to April 4th. If you miss that, it is just 99c from April 5th to April 7th.

Author Bio:

Mark has his heart in the wrong place – literally. A minor defect at birth revealed that it lies slightly to one side of where it should be, a fact that always gave him some comfort as a young man should an enraged lover or crazed stalker decide to go for him with a knife.

Mark has always been an avid reader and was intrigued at an early age to discover that most authors seem to have had a enormous variety of, often short-lived, jobs on their way to becoming a full-time author. To this end, Mark has worked as a hospital porter (until he nearly killed a patient on the operating table), a factory worker (until he was asked to stop being one due to sustaining chicken-related injuries), a barman (until he spent a week being investigated by the police for suspected theft… before they caught the real culprit) and an assistant in a Doctor Who specialist shop in London (until it went bust and he found himself helping the owner do a moonlight flit with the rest of the stock).

Mark has a passion for both science fiction and fantasy, so describes himself as a Science Fantasy author. His first novel, Dawn, which launches The Enchanters series, includes magic and alien worlds, a dystopian future and fantastic monsters.

Mark lives in Wiltshire, England. He is a father of three and a husband of one. When he is not writing, shouting at the dog to shut up, or telling the cats off for scratching the furniture, he can often be found in various towns and cities during the summer months dressed in historical livery and taking part in town crier competitions. Oyez!

About Pursued: God’s relentless pursuit and a drug addict’s journey to finding purpose

We had lit a forest on fire…

We were stoned out of our senses…

My sister was calling 9-1-1…

As I watched the flames dance across the twilight sky, consuming everything in their path, I realized they represented my life. In my pursuit of pleasure and partying, I had ignited an addiction worse than any forest fire. After five arrests, a dozen allegations, a v-squad of cop cars chasing me down center street, and years of worshipping all the wrong things led me to the brink of death, I finally found hope in life. This is a story of how the initially enthralling and sometimes humorous pursuits of drugs, sex, and success cannot satisfy in the way that they promise, but there is One who can.

About Altruistic Business: Why Conscious Businesses Outperform the Competition

In this groundbreaking book, Gavin Watson explores the principles of Conscious Capitalism, based on two decades of research in the fields of positive psychology, organizational psychology, and evolutionary biology. Conscious Capitalism rejects the toxic myth of neoliberal economics. In fact, a group of collaborative individuals will outperform a group of selfish individuals every time. It is not selfishness but cooperative, generous, and altruistic behavior that is the basis of our success as a species, and the key to a high-performing business.

Each of us spends about 90,000 hours of our lives working. We financially compensate people for the work they do but we cannot compensate them for the 40 hours of their lives they spend with us every week. In recognition of this, we must provide a fulfilling workplace and ensure that those hours are spent consciously and with purpose. There is much that can be done to make work more intrinsically rewarding and fulfilling which just happens to make a business more successful.
