Draegan Mother – The Dragons’ Clan Book 2 by Dana Ladell
Loreli went insane when she completed The Ritual to awaken her Gifts, wreaking havoc on all those around her. During her time on the run, she finds a lost dragon egg and bonds to Aquira, who is more cracked than she is. The future of The Clan depends on Mikhail, her husband, getting Loreli and her sociopath of a dragon back, but it won’t be easy.
Meanwhile, Loreli and Mikhail’s daughter, Sheridan, the youngest Apprentice Seer in the history of The Clan, struggles with her newly awakened Gifts.

It bombardes her mind incessantly, making it impossible for her to perfect the use of her many strong Gifts. Will she master control of her Gifts or meltdown completely?
Then Sheridan is kidnapped by an unknown adversary. The Clan is frantic! She is the key to the future of more than The Clan’s survival. Will The Clan get her back, or fade into extinction?

Cyber Creeps by Randall Snyder
Cyber Creeps by Randall Snyder
Most of the true crime genre centers around the gritty and bloody world of homicide, serial killers and those crimes that are sensationalized in the media. But what about the crimes that take place behind the keyboard, impacting hundreds of thousands of the most vulnerable and innocent victims? Since the popular Dateline show To Catch a Predator, very little attention has been provided to pull back the veil of secrecy surrounding internet crimes against children. Until now.
Go down the electronic rabbit hole through a series of true cases conducted revolving around the world of child molesters, internet predators and the taboo sexual practices of those who prey on children online. Through a series of true stories from actual cases, Det. Randall Snyder will shine a light on the secretive world of child sexual exploitation, sharing his successes and failures in apprehending dozens of offenders around the world, and at the same time, rescuing children and providing readers with educational information and advice to help children stay safe online.
These tales, sometimes funny, often unbelievable, and sadly, uncomfortably disturbing but true, will uncover a side of the internet that few acknowledge, even fewer will brave contact with, but which need to be exposed so that children can be better protected in the cyber-age.
Follow Randall through his notable career working child sex crimes and Internet Crimes Against Children, examining the cases, offenders, and situations that resulted in prosecutions and rescues in 33 states and eight different countries across three continents. You will also learn about the dark side of the web, and how the years of undercover work with the seediest parts of society impacted his life, family, and his path to redemption.

The Stolen Altarpiece by Gabriel Farago
About The Stolen Altarpiece by Gabriel Farago
A long-forgotten amulet. A holy relic. A stolen painting. One deadly geopolitical power-play.
When celebrated journalist and author Jack Rogan discovers a hidden letter reaching out of the past, he unwittingly embarks on a quest to find a holy relic that has the power to fight evil.
As he follows a web of intriguing clues that take him on a perilous journey to the Middle East, Rogan soon crosses swords with an old adversary, who is determined to destroy him and those he holds dear.
Soon, secrets buried in a famous stolen painting point to Russia and the threat of war in Ukraine. Joining forces with Tristan, a gifted psychic; Abbot Serapion, a Russian monk; and Sasha, the daughter of a Russian billionaire, Jack enters a dangerous geopolitical arena ruled by a deranged, corrupt man consumed by unbridled ambition and lust for power, who threatens to enslave a nation and destroy an entire country to satisfy his misguided vision of greatness.
Can Jack find a way to defeat the dark forces of evil and turn the tide of history before it’s too late, or will the horrors of war continue, and consume a people who dared to stand against tyranny and dream of freedom?

About the Author
Gabriel Farago is the USA TODAY Bestselling and Multi-Award-Winning Australian Author of the Jack Rogan Mysteries Series for the thinking reader.
As a lawyer with a passion for history and archaeology, Gabriel had to wait for many years before being able to pursue another passion—writing—in earnest. However, his love of books and storytelling started long before that.
Born in Budapest, Gabriel grew up in post-War Europe, and after fleeing Hungary with his parents during the Revolution in 56, he went to school in Austria before arriving in Australia as a teenager. This allowed him to become multi-lingual and feel ‘at home’ in different countries and diverse cultures. Shaped by a long legal career and experiences spanning several decades and continents, his is a mature voice that speaks in many tongues.
Gabriel holds degrees in literature and law, speaks several languages and takes research and authenticity very seriously. Inquisitive by nature, he studied Egyptology and learned to read the hieroglyphs. He travels extensively and visits all of the locations mentioned in his books.
‘I try to weave fact and fiction into a seamless storyline,’ he explains. ‘By blurring the boundaries between the two, the reader is never quite sure where one ends, and the other begins. This is of course quite deliberate as it creates the illusion of authenticity and reality in a work that is pure fiction. A successful work of fiction is a balancing act: reality must rub shoulders with imagination in a way that is both entertaining and plausible.’
Gabriel lives in the Blue Mountains in Australia just outside Sydney, surrounded by a World Heritage National Park.
‘The beauty and solitude of this unique environment,’ he points out, ‘gives me inspiration and the energy to weave my thoughts and ideas into stories which, I sincerely hope, will in turn entertain and inspire my readers.’
If you like historical thrillers, excitement, mystery and suspense, if you enjoy exotic settings, colourful characters and fast-paced action, if you like to learn about interesting, well-researched subjects that tease your intellect and imagination, then once your step inside, Gabriel will show you his world; the world of the storyteller.
Shaped by a long legal career and experiences spanning several decades and continents, his is a mature voice that speaks in many tongues.

Another Day in the Algarve by Johnsie St Clare
About Another Day in the Algarve by Johnsie St Clare
The best place on the planet to move to and spend a comfortable retirement. The weather’s great, the people are welcoming, and the climate is mild. The country is relatively cheap, and you can idle away the hours quite pleasantly.
The author found that magic spot by testing the water first, living in the country for a couple of years, and then taking the plunge to create his dream home.
But how did the dream work out? After all, it started well enough. But what went wrong? Did anything go wrong, or did the author simply adapt, and if so, how?
Another Day in the Algarve takes you on Clare’s interesting journey, documenting both the highs and the pitfalls of relocating to Portugal.
The journey is amusing, irritating, in places idyllic, and in others rather unusual.
And I’ve been here ever since, that’s almost 25 years, so I really do know what it’s like.

Author Bio:
Nick Snape has been steeped in Science Fiction and Fantasy since his friends first dragged him from his schoolwork and stuck a book under his nose. Lost to the world of imagination he became a teacher by accident though he thoroughly enjoyed developing the joy of reading and writing in his pupils. Having retired after thirty years he thought it was high time to practise what he preached.
The Unofficial Notes
If you're really desperate to know more I was a Primary School teacher (or Elementary School) mostly working with the youngest children. I just love their honesty, and yes, I am bald, as they told me every single day. I later became a headteacher (principal) with the core objective of making my pupils' lives and education as worthwhile as possible. When I say ALL children, I mean that from the bottom of my heart. Every child deserves the best we can provide. This included starting up a specialist support provision for Autistic children as well as emphasising the joy of learning from a very young age. Having completed thirteen amazing years in that role, working with a wide range of neurodiverse children on the way, I decided I wanted to go in a new direction. Having always had a passion for reading and especially telling stories, well, why not be an author? Well at least one person did the honour of paying to read my book, so I can now use that word. Whoever that first person was, I thank you. Why not a children’s author I hear you ask? Well, I don't know. Maybe I just want to write what I enjoy reading when I need to switch off. Stories are an escape, and perhaps I need to escape when I write them?
What else is there to tell? Erm, well, I fall off my mountain bike a lot, and I mean a lot. I love walking, usually after having broken the bike, but often for fun sometimes. I love Sci-Fi films but don't ask me to list my favourites, those arguments can go on for hours. Let's just say cancelling Firefly was a travesty I haven't recovered from. Oh, and I have some great friends who have kept me sane (stop laughing) over these last few years of madness we have all suffered. That's it.
I hope you enjoy my book (and if I'm really lucky books) and thank you for taking the time to be interested. I aim to make this series as much about the characters as the action. Wish me luck!

Author Bio:
Hal Adkins has done and been a lot of things over the decades. Worked at many interesting and not-so-interesting occupations, rode motorcycles, flew airplanes, went scuba-diving without actually knowing how to swim, parachuted out of a perfectly good airplane (once), and drove race cars a lot. Primarily, he has been a professional photographer, although writing has always been a keen point of interest when time allows between taking pretty pictures. A few years ago, okay, 12, he published a book of humor, some might call it more of an autobiography, aptly entitled Hal Adkins Ain’t Normal; he then set about writing his first novel. After the development of that one stalled, it was decided to begin anew and so spewed forth A Week and a Day. Now, it was a very low rate of spew, taking more time to finish than getting through high school. Perhaps paying better attention in English class would have been helpful. A prolific writer of fiction, he is not and prefers the term “methodical.” The storyline for this novel developed from a couple of “I wonder what would happen if,” scenarios intriguingly linked together. Following a period of consideration and procrastination, a more desirable beginning was found that moved the story into the realm of mystery and more. Hal hopes to pick up the pace in the future as he loves to tell stories and make up stuff.
