Blood Work by Michael Lister
About Blood Work by Michael Lister
A haunting, unsolved murder.
A father seeking redemption.
A son committed to helping him get it.
Did America’s most notorious serial killer, Ted Bundy, kill Janet Leigh Lester?
That’s the conclusion Jack Jordan, John’s father, reached back when he first investigated the case, but now he’s not so sure.
On the same weekend Janet was crowned Miss Valentine at the pageant and Queen at the Sweethearts dance, she disappeared, her car found in an empty field, its interior covered in blood.
The case, known as the Broken Heart Murder, is decades cold now, but a new clock is ticking and John Jordan has one last chance to help his father get it right.
With no jurisdiction and no support and no real hope of solving such an old, cold case, John Jordan is not taking no for an answer.
Once and for all, and before it’s too late, John Jordan is going to find out who’s responsible for the Broken Heart Murder and bring justice to Janet, redemption to his dad, and peace to all those still living under a cloud of suspicion and a shroud of sadness.
Poignant. Touching. Tragic. Cathartic. Blood Work is much more than a baffling mystery, it’s the story of a father and a son and the broken people they’re trying to help mend.

Author Bio:
New York Times bestselling and award-winning novelist Michael Lister is a native Floridian best known for his literary suspense thrillers DOUBLE EXPOSURE, BURNT OFFERINGS, and SEPARATION ANXIETY, as well as his two ongoing mystery series, the prison chaplain John Jordan “Blood” series (BLOOD SACRIFICE) and the hard-boiled, 1940s noir Jimmy “Soldier” Riley Series (THE BIG HELLO).
The Florida Book Review says that “Vintage Michael Lister is poetic prose, exquisitely set scenes, characters who are damaged and faulty” and Michael Koryta says, “If you like crime writing with depth, suspense, and sterling prose, you should be reading Michael Lister,” while Publisher’s Weekly adds, “Lister’s hard-edged prose ranks with the best of contemporary noir fiction.”
Tangled Up in Princes by Molly Jameson
About Tangled Up in Princes by Molly Jameson
What could be more romantic than a wedding in a Scottish castle?
For Carrie MacCallum, sister of the bride, the answer is finding herself pressed against an impossibly handsome man in a curtained alcove inside said castle. His slow burn smile is enough to have Carrie thinking of more than moonlit walks beneath a canopy of stars. She’s thinking about a fling. Or she would be, if she were the type of woman who thought about flings, which she most certainly was not. She was a knitting shop owner from Kentucky. She was not at all the kind of woman who would have a fling.
Was she?
Edward, Duke of Lancashire and second son of Great Britain’s reigning king, was hiding in an alcove. He was used to being discovered by the paparazzi, but being discovered by very possibly the only woman in the world who didn’t recognize him as a member of the British royal family was a new experience for him. And a tempting one. When was the last time he’d gone out with a woman and not wondered if it was the idea of becoming a princess she fancied instead of him?
In their chance encounter, Carrie and Edward find in each other their heart’s desire, but when Carrie’s sister —the bride, and Edward’s brother, the Prince of Wales — not the groom, are discovered in a compromising position,, it’s up to Carrie and Edward to save their siblings, their families’ reputations, and the British monarchy from an international scandal.
Tangled Up In Princes is the first book in Royal Romances, a new, smart and sassy romantic comedy series that will delight fans of “The Princess Diaries” and “The Royal We.” If you just can’t get enough of the real royals, then Royal Romances is for you. Molly Jameson’s contemporary romance series features an alternate British monarchy with seven princes and princesses of marriageable age, all of whom will get their shot at the fairytale happy ever after.

About Millie’s Miracle (Christmas Babies Mail-Order Bride #1) by Faith Parsons
Pregnant Millie Callaghan didn’t ask to be married to an Irish mob boss. But she didn’t realize how dangerous a man her husband was until she caught him beating an innocent man to death.
Fearing for her child’s safety, she files for divorce and flees west, seeking help from a small-town Arizona sheriff who proposed to Millie’s cousin…and doesn’t know that he’s about to be turned down.
Millie’s only hope is to disappear until her ex-husband gives up the chase.

Aaron has no choice but to let Millie risk her own life—and that of her child’s—to help him take down the Snake.
Can Aaron and Millie outwit the vicious mobster and bring everyone home in time for Christmas?

What Happened To Advertising? What Would Gossage Do?
About What Happened To Advertising? What Would Gossage Do?:
Are brands really created by “branding campaigns”? Is there a single banner ad that was so brilliant or so effective that we all remember it? What has “display advertising” on the web become, if not the reign of large-scale, low-quality direct response?
What about our obsession with social media? Do consumers really want to have
“conversations” with brands? What is the real value of a Facebook Fan? What are social networks if not private enclosures of the web and advertising platforms?
Who was Howard Luck Gossage, and why should we study his work? Why was he more successful with things “interactive” and “social” 50 years ago than anybody has been in our “digital” era? Were he around today, what would Gossage do?

Transformative Spiritual Practices
About Transformative Spiritual Practices:
All any one of us needs to do is turn or go onto social media to witness the civil unrest and uncomfortable feelings people are presently experiencing. This small book is my response to this unrest.
My life has always been about spiritual exploration: about exploring what truly brings us healing and a sense of well-being. This exploration has spanned over 40+ years, across multiple cultures, religions and traditions. Some of the teachings have been incredibly healing and insightful; others did not result in the growth or transformation I was looking for.
Last month I had pulled all of my journals that contain these teachings to make note of which practices I learned that had truly transformed my life. I was in the process of extracting these when our Presidential election took place, the outcome of which surprised many. What I have witnessed through the entire election process and especially after, is a country greatly divided, and a great number of people feeling angry, upset, fearful, lashing out, and uncomfortable.
At the same time, here I was sitting with teachings and practices that transformed my life. I immediately took and compiled the most fundamentally important practices, those that can help people move from their feelings of discomfort, anger, upset, fear to a place of peace, clarity, well-being and empowerment.
There was a time when we were far more intuitively and spiritually connected, when we were aware that if we needed to know, heal or better understand, we knew what we needed to do was go within, do our own work, accessing our connection with the Divine or whatever term you wish to use here – words are simply human constructs, the point being all of us have the ability to access greater wisdom than our own, to heal and better understand our self and others. We do not need a third party to do this, we do not need a counselor or a guru, we can achieve these results all on our own.
When I first started on a healing path, if someone suggested I meditate for 15 minutes a day, that felt highly inconvenient to me, and I resisted my work for a number of years. I was too busy to meditate or do the work suggested! But when my life became too uncomfortable, I was more willing to try out the practices suggested to me. What resulted was the following: I found a sense of inner peace. I started having insights and greater clarity. Information started coming to me I wouldn’t have otherwise known. I became acutely aware of when my ego or mind were vying for control, clearly understood they are not me and that they really stand in the way of progress.
When I utilized the practices in this book, I began to notice shifts: I healed old wounds, felt better, my relationships improved, I became much more efficient, and more understanding. Genuine transformation took place to such a large degree that now, if I ever feel uncomfortable, I turn to these practices. My spiritual work is the most valuable and rewarding part of my daily.
It is my belief that at this time the Universe is asking us to live our lives with more awareness and consciousness. It is time for us to heal old wounds and our shadow, and to address and eliminate that which divides us. It is time for us to let go of attacking one another, name-calling, shaming, blaming, and the first thing we must do before we can get there is to heal our self. The practices within this book, if utilized and made part of your daily routine, will not only bring you healing but will provide you with a direct spiritual connection, providing you with insights beyond your imagination, most likely with healing beyond which you have previously experienced, and a connection that will serve to guide you along your way. In this respect, you will feel a Divine love and compassion that is beyond measure and know beyond a shadow of a doubt it exists. Then you will clearly see the direction you wish to take and will be in far greater a position to make it happen.

“… cleverly introduced premise… assured pacing and plotting…” – Publishers Weekly
“The action is frenetic, in the vein of Matthew Reilly’s Scarecrow series. Crawford is an able storyteller who smoothly orchestrates the plot’s twists and turns… ” – Kirkus Reviews

“This is an amazingly good, intelligently told novel by an exciting new British author.” – Eurocrime

The Thing Speaks for Itself
About The Thing Speaks for Itself:
Gracie Stratis, special agent in the Diplomatic Security Service, wants nothing more than to see the world one embassy at a time. Plans change when she suffers grave injuries at the hands of would-be assassins. Her brother, Russel, brings her back to his Oakland home to recuperate. For Gracie, it’s a long road back to active duty, burdened by a hobbled mind and body.
Weeks into her recovery, an old friend mysteriously disappears. Gracie determines to find him, but every angle oozes trouble. Gracie must confront violent criminals with exacting genkan habits, the missing man’s imperious parents, a powerful mayor, and a shady corporation. Each step she takes pulls her closer to facing the dragons that lurk in her past and haunt her deteriorating mind. Time is running out for her friend, her recovery, and what was once a bright future.

Author Bio:
Born in 1977, A.S.A. Durphy wrote Poems and Stories from a young age. “Prove it,” you say. Well, okay then. Here is The Wizard from first grade, circa 1983:
I am a wizard.
I do not walk on the land, I walk in the air.
I do not jump over streams, I fly over waterfalls.
I can tame raccoons.
I can ask the hawk to fly.
I can ask the fish to swim.
I can turn the sky green and the ground blue.
I can turn stone to gold and gold into a stone.
Did he just share one of his earliest poems with you? He did. A little bit of humanizing never hurt a bio.
A.S.A. Durphy published his first novel, The Thing Speaks for Itself, in 2016. When he’s not jogging around the Oakland Hills, you’ll find him puzzling through home projects, building furniture, or hard at work in the garden with his lovely wife and daughters.
Hearts Lie by Felicity Kross
About Hearts Lie by Felicity Kross:
Your heart doesn’t always know what’s best for you. Whoever says to listen to your heart when you’re in doubt doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Hearts lie, and they’ll betray you if you aren’t careful.
Sixteen year old Tasia Wren knows a thing or two about the supernatural, but even she isn’t prepared for the evil sweeping its way through her quiet home. She’s too busy being a teenager and pining after the boy she has a crush on: Rynne.
She’s been too scared to tell him how she feels about him because she doesn’t want their relationship to change, but when she works up the courage to take the risk, she sees him kiss another girl. Heart broken and forlorn, Tasia’s already bad week gets worse.
The darkness sweeping her town finds its way to her door, taking away two of the people she holds closest to her heart. She comes face to face with a being made of evil, a powerful demon named Arsen. She’s certain he’s going to kill her. He tries, but he doesn’t follow through. He’s terrifying, alluring, and almost familiar. There’s a connection and an infatuation that blinds her heart, but she knows it’s a trick. Arsen deserves nothing but her hatred.
