About Misdirect, a Novel of Spies, the Sahara, and Searching for God by Beverly Nault

A mission failure has confined CIA covert operative Eve Parker to desk duty and she’s left to pick up the pieces of her broken personal life. But when her daughter’s fiancé is taken hostage, Eve must return to the Middle East armed with rusty tradecraft, and dubious credibility shrouded in her peers’ skepticism. Will she get it together in time to thwart the biggest threat to America since 9/11, or will her old-fashioned ways cause her to fail again?

And if a suspected mole, a missing thumb drive, and a camel ride through the desert weren’t challenging enough, a young Muslim boy with questions about God cause Eve to struggle with her own faith. As the most important assignment of her life draws near, events unfold to demonstrate that, particularly in espionage, things are not always as they seem.

Join Eve Parker as she confronts her past, a national threat, and a crisis of faith in this spy thriller layered with intrigue, suspense, and a surprise ending from an award-winning author reviewers call “a master storyteller.”

Demon hunter Emma “M” Ricci’s retrieval of the stolen hell gate keys in M in the Empire of the Dead almost leads to her death and arouses the fury of the thief, Baigujing, the Bone Goddess.

Determined to fulfill her destiny as a light warrior, M tracks and kills wendigo demons.

And it’s during combat exercises in Mongolia that M finds herself face-to-face with someone she never thought she’d see: her long-lost twin sister Lien.

Meanwhile, Baigujing has gathered the help she needs to open the gates of hell and unleash total destruction on the world. M and Lien unite to fight the good fight—but will it be enough to send the demon armies back to the pit?

Author Bio:
I grew up in New England, swimming in ponds in the summer, hurling snowballs in winter, and walking though puddles during the mud seasons. Instead of doing my school work, I devoured horror and supernatural stories by great writers like Poe, Lovecraft, King, Bram Stoker, Shirley Jackson, Koontz, Anne Rice, Gaiman et al. I also love the ancient myths where a lot of these stories come from. I now live, write, dodge cabs and drink too much coffee in New York City.

Whether supernatural, horror or myth, I admire the hero’s successful effort to overcome his or her own fear and doubt to achieve what was unthinkable before. M and the Last Hell Gate is a story, but her spirit is absolutely real. It is my belief that we are all on this journey. I hope that you’ll have fun with M and her loyal Hell Hound, Blue, and they will remind you of how brave you can be and how much you have to share with the world.

About Misunderstood by Andrea Joy Moede

Misunderstood: A Refreshing Guide To Dumping Religion For Good And Diving Deep Into A Personal Discovery Of The God Who Changes Everything

Can you imagine any greater pain than being deeply misunderstood, particularly by those for whom you care most deeply? If we choose to admit it, this has happened to all of us at one time or another. Whatever the situations were in your own life, I am sure you felt incredibly wounded in those moments. Whether justification ever comes is, in some ways, a moot point. You just want people to believe the best about you, and it hurts tremendously when they don’t.

Imagine now if instead of just a handful of individuals misunderstanding you, it’s actually in the millions or possibly even billions! I know I can’t comprehend the scale of this, but it is what I believe God has constantly faced ever since He created mankind in the Garden of Eden and the enemy began his assault on us through an assault on what we believe about God.

Make no mistake that we do have an enemy (aka satan or the devil). He is the one deliberately creating shades of gray and making us doubt and misunderstand our creator God, who is actually defined by love and goodness. In fact, while the name satan means adversary or accuser, the word devil is defined as slanderer or one who maliciously tells lies about others. That should be a very revealing truth in regard to his primary battle strategy as he consistently lies to us about the character of our three-part God – our Heavenly Father, our Savior Jesus, and our Helper Holy Spirit.

The Bible is our guidebook and the only place we can go to counter the slander of God coming at us from every direction. This ancient text reveals that God has feelings and emotions just as we do, so it is a bit naïve to think He is completely above this pain of being misunderstood. So why would He not clear His name and set the record straight, especially considering the countless accusations leveled against Him every day?

The reason for His restraint lies deep at the root of why He created mankind in the first place. He wanted a family to lavish His love upon that would choose to love and pursue Him in return, not a robotic people that would simply do as they were told. If the God of the universe (in all His glory) was consistently breaking in on us and defending Himself overtly, that wouldn’t leave much room for our choice in the relationship, now would it?

As a result, God remains somewhat hidden for now, peeking out on occasion, beckoning us in to get to know Him, to come to believe the best about Him regardless of what we experience in this broken world. Yet very few choose to do so, most remaining back in the familiar spaces of religion. Regardless of your history with God, I hope that this book through the power of Holy Spirit awakens something in you to begin on this path. He is ever ready and willing to reveal Himself and correct all of our misunderstandings. In fact, there is nothing He would enjoy more.

If you’ve ever found yourself speculating about His character based on what you’ve heard in religion or experienced in life, here is your invitation to embark on a personal journey of significant discovery. The God of the universe actually longs to be understood by YOU – why wait any longer?

So, what comes to your mind when you think about God? How does that end up coloring your world, for better or worse? Pick up Misunderstood this summer for a refreshing read that will boost your image of God, yourself, and the world around you!!

Author Bio:
Andrea Joy Moede is a recovering over achiever who has traveled a long road of transformation. While she grew up in an amazing, believing family, she was ultimately left still searching for God. This was because she hadn’t yet made the shift from dutiful religion to passionate relationship. As a young person, she set out to conquer the world with full scholarships to Texas A&M’s business school and SMU’s law school. When law school didn’t quite fit the bill, she embarked on a career in accounting and finance at KPMG, Valero Energy, and USAA. She finally ended up spending time in an accounting PhD program at the University of Texas at San Antonio.

During this period, she was running from God and trying to determine her own destiny, before finally realizing that life on His path was so much better than anywhere else. She came to this understanding during the unexpectedly quiet years of being a young stay at home mom. She then began to listen to what God wanted to do with her life instead.

Now she is only determined to be a receiver of God’s love and provision and to follow wherever He leads. She is excited about helping people come into the fullness of both their identity and calling and believes that this is best accomplished by beholding God in all of His fullness first.

When not writing, you can catch her busy with some of her favorite things – highly doctored coffee, endorphin inducing workouts, schmaltzy movies, long naps on rainy days, really good Italian food, coaching her kids sports teams, and sitting down with just about any book.

She lives in the Houston area with her husband – Austen, their two busy boys – Owen and Colsten, and their equally busy baby girl – Adelyn. They are active members of The Crossing Church in The Woodlands. When not enduring the climate of South Texas, they all prefer to escape to the mountains.

About A Witch Called Wanda

Famous songwriter, Maeve O’Dare, left the drama of Hollywood — and a broken heart – behind, eager for a fresh start in the small town of Wisteria Pines. As if by magic, she makes a new friend of the local town gossip, lands the perfect spot for her new café, Listen: It’s old Fashioned, and a stray dog named Wanda adopts her right off the bat.

Belinda Bennett worked as a newspaper reporter for 32 years. She worked for newspapers as a reporter across the South West of England, including the Sunday Independent, Bridport News and Chard and Ilminster News. However, she is best known for her seven-year tenure as Editor of the hugely popular Midweek Herald, in East Devon, which covers her home town of Honiton.

During her varied career, she covered everything from parish council meetings to murders – once, two in one day – and was notorious for eating all the sandwiches at the monthly Honiton Chamber of Commerce gatherings.

Belinda retired from the newspaper industry to concentrate on creative writing two years ago. She had been working as a copy editor, crafting headlines for daily newspapers along the south coast, including the Bournemouth Echo.

An avid people-watcher, she is inspired by real life. Belinda never follows trends and each of her books is highly original.

Her first piece of fiction, about a magic china frog, was inspired by the BBC children’s television series Lizzie Dripping. It was considered by a major publisher when Belinda was just nine years old.

Teenage angst prompted further creative efforts but, after both her parents died when she was in her early twenties, she concentrated on journalism.

Belinda lives by the sea in Lyme Regis, Dorset, on the Jurassic Coast.

About The Nero Prediction by Humphry Knipe

You live in an age when Rome rules the world and astrology rules Rome.
You are a sixteen-year-old apprentice in the Great Library of Alexander, a slave, when you hear that your Roman masters are searching for 16-year-olds with a particular birth time, just as king Herod searched for two-year-old Jesus who astrologers predicted would become the king of the Jews.
Instead of killing you the authorities send you to Rome to serve Agrippina, the emperor’s niece, who believes the stars have foretold that you are destined to help her raise her ten-year-old son to the imperial throne. This draws you into astrology-inspired court intrigues which force you to decide whether Nero is the Christian’s Antichrist who “fiddles” while Rome burns or a musical genius trapped inside a Caesar.

I was born and brought up in Apartheid South Africa, a medieval environment. After graduating from Rhodes University I worked for a short period as a newspaper reporter and high school teacher. In 1966 I settled in London. With “flower power” in full bloom, it was an intoxicating time to be there – so different from my puritanical Calvinist background. Once again I worked as a reporter and a teacher while I co-authored The Dominant Man,a layman’s guide to the human pecking order, which was published in 1972 in five languages.

In 1975 I emigrated to LA with my then girlfriend Suze Randall who had just landed a job as a Playboy photographer. For two years we were on the “gang list” at Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Mansion West which meant we could visit as often as we wanted. Sybaritic splendor indeed! Suze and I wrote a frivolous paperback of our experiences there (Suze by Suze Randall, published in 1978) which offended Hefner. We were frog marched out of his mansion. It was like getting the bum’s rush out of paradise!

The Nero Prediction was a long time in coming. With his penchant for music and festivals, Nero seemed to the most 60’s of the Roman emperors and, looking back, I probably wanted to recreate that magical time in a historical setting. However the deeper I looked into the first century the more references I found to astrology. One day the idea hit me like the proverbial lighting bolt. Nero’s birth date and time are known (dawn on December 15, 37 AD) so it must be possible to re-create his horoscope. With this mysterious wheel in hand, anyone familiar with ancient astrological lore should be able to make some very intelligent guesses about what Nero’s astrologer would have been advising him on a regular basis. Since Nero, like everyone else at the time, believed in astrology which, in the words of historian Michael Grant “exceeded every religion in power and influence” this could be an important historical tool in explaining his motives and actions.

So I linked up with an astrologer who specialized in Greek and Roman astrology to cast Nero’s chart and to teach me the rudiments of this intriguing mixture of superstition and astronomy. After several years of studying Roman astrological manuals (two have survived intact) and casting hundreds of horoscopes, the main theme of The Nero Prediction, the self-fulfilling prophecy, came into focus. It still astonishes me that I appear to be alone in this approach because not only was Nero clearly guided by his horoscope but, as soon as it was leaked, his enemies were guided by it as well which led to his death at the age of 30.

I love reading and writing stories where the girls aren’t doormats, the guys aren’t asshats, and secondary characters aren’t second-class citizens. A card-carrying millennial, I have two business degrees and zero hope of starting a fashion label (unlike my Travesty characters!). I crave quirk the way some people crave kink, and believe life is too short not to do what—and who—you love.

My home base near Toronto, Canada is shared with my wonderful sig other. He’s the perfect man for me because not only is he tall dark & handsome, he will beta read for me under duress. And really, that’s what love is. Beta reading under duress.
