Death in Focus by SR Garrae  

About Death in Focus by SR Garrae

Acclaimed, sexy reality photographer Jamie Carval, desperately searching for a new theme for his next exhibition, stumbles upon dedicated, driven Manhattan detective Casey Clement and her hotshot team at the murder of a brilliant scientist.
Carval instantly decides that the intensity and unity of the team will form an outstanding show, with Casey as its stunning centrepiece. But Casey has hated photographs ever since a jealous fellow-recruit tried to shame her with a stolen copy of a shot from a college party, and she isn’t in the mood to play nice.
As the cops unravel the mess of multimillion dollar motives for murder, the trail leads them from the research lab to the door of big business.
While Casey hunts for the truth, Carval fights to find a way past Casey’s resistance to his photos and the heat that’s building between them. But when the murderer starts to come into focus, can photographs save the day?

First Mistake : Facing Death, Finding Life by D.J. Chang  

About First Mistake : Facing Death, Finding Life by D.J. Chang

“First Mistake” is both a love story about defying the odds (even certain death) and a spiritual memoir about the search for identity, partnership, and the meaning of life. After the trauma at age 9 of witnessing and feeling partially responsible for the death of her caregiver, Ah Kung, he becomes the author’s life’s spirit guide. For 40 years, he has been with her on her journey to make sense of the world around her — from South African Apartheid to the AIDS epidemic to the fight for marriage equality — and with her as she grew in love, faith, and purpose. “First Mistake” is a memoir that should speak to anyone who, like the author, is still on a quest for the meaning of life.

The Catalain Book of Secrets  

About The Catalain Book of Secrets

“The Catalain Book of Secrets opens with a bang and keeps on firing off the unexpected. Think Charles deLint or Alice Hoffman…spell-binding.” ―Midwest Book Review

Faith Falls is a snug little Minnesota town constructed over a mystery, a place where the most impressive building is a gorgeous Queen Anne with turrets, cantilevered gables, and a wraparound porch. In a concealed room beneath the twisting stairs of the Queen Anne lies the Catalain Book of Secrets, the repository of the wisdom the Catalain women have gathered since the beginning of time.

Ursula Catalain, current keeper of the Book of Secrets, is content to concoct spells in her garden cottage until the ghost of the man she murdered appears at her door in a new form. His return pulls Jasmine, Ursula’s daughter, back into the fold. Once the most powerful of the Catalains, Jasmine foreswore her gift to bury a shameful secret.

The ghost of the murdered man also calls home Katrine, Jasmine’s sister, who’s been banished for fourteen years. Finally able to return to Faith Falls and her beloved Queen Anne, Katrine must claim the Catalain power she’s spent her whole life running from if she is to save her mother and sister from the murdered man’s curse.

Told in a majestic mosaic of strong women’s voices, The Catalain Book of Secrets weaves together alchemy, hope, tragedy, and true love to spin a tale in the style of Garden Spells, Eva Luna, and Practical Magic. If you enjoyed The Catalain Book of Secrets, you’ll love Seven Daughters, a Book of Secrets novella featuring the beloved Catalain family and never-before-seen spells.
